Everyone saw Tris standing beside a middle-aged man, using a devil's voice to tempt him to raise the blade in his hand and forcefully thrust it down at the girl beneath him, his eyes full of mocking and sneering looks, casually pointing at several other men nearby, watching them push a mother and child into the sea, letting the waves swallow their thin bodies...
Everyone saw Tris lock the stairway leading to the deck, using seductive language to whisper in each person's ear, men picked up weapons they could reach - daggers, rapiers - attacking each other, warm blood flowing freely on the deck, bones and flesh flying through the air, Tris sat on the stairs, excitedly clapping...
This bastard.
"Alright, I believe we have obtained all the truth." Dunn nodded, everyone's vision blurred, they returned to the police station's basement, the slightly damp moldy smell in the air made Klein and Kenley involuntarily frown.
"Mr. Joyce, this case involves too many people, according to procedure, I need to inform the relevant police stations about this matter, please wait here for a few hours." Dunn said.
"Good, being able to help those innocent dead people is my honor." Joyce nodded, "I will cooperate with all your work."
Dunn gave a look, Klein and Kenley followed him out of the room, "Captain, what's the next step?"
"You two go upstairs to find two officers, have them go to the nearest Steam and Machinery God Church and Storm Lord Church to find 'Machinery Heart' squad and 'Punisher' squad members for case summary, this is a major case." Dunn said, "You two can go home."
"The case happened nearly a week ago, what we can do isn't much, cooperating with the police station to issue notices and notify all checkpoints is already our limit."
"Being able to know such detailed case details, you two did well."
"In that case, captain, we'll leave first." Kenley nodded, bringing Klein upstairs.
"Yes, sir, we'll go right away." Kenley conveyed the captain's orders, watching two officers take a carriage to quickly notify the other two squads, then said goodbye to Klein.
"Good night, Klein."
Kenley left the police station, it was already past nine in the evening, he found a coffee shop on the street, went in and ordered coffee, a sandwich, and pea stew with meat.
Today's guidance work was done well, but such guidance could only be occasional, long-term guidance would easily be noticed by the captain and Klein.
He drank coffee in big gulps, reviewing today's every move, confirming there were no errors for now, finally returning home to sleep peacefully.
The next morning at nine o'clock, Kenley arrived at "Blackthorn Security Company" at the normal time, arriving even earlier than him was Frye, having watched "Chanis Gate" all night, his face appeared even paler, seeming to have a kind of pale complexion that hadn't seen sunlight for years.
"Your outfit would be perfect for playing a vampire." Kenley joked.
"Those noble beings that only live underground, surviving by blood-sucking, are not suitable for me." Frye sighed, "I'm going to find a quiet coffin to lie in for a few hours."
You really do sleep in a coffin...
"Leonard, tell me Frye is joking..." Kenley looked at Leonard walking in, "He just told me he wants to find a quiet coffin to lie in for a few hours..."
"Haven't you seen his home?" Leonard looked at him strangely, "Frye's home is very run-down, but his bed is made of the best wood that only the finest coffins use, supposedly the fragrance it emits can make people fall asleep quickly."
"He once said that bed alone cost a hundred gold pounds."
A hundred gold pounds, double bed, coffin, double coffin...
"Just like the captain accommodates your hobby for corpses, he has always been very respectful of Frye's hobbies." Leonard took two cups, pouring coffee powder from Kenley's desk into them, "Are you ready for tonight's activity?"
"Activity, you mean..." Kenley suddenly remembered, the captain had mentioned that people from Backlund would bring "2-049" to Tingen City today, assisting the squad in searching for news of the Antigonus notebook and Riel Bieber's whereabouts.
"Riel Bieber?"
"That's right, they've arrived nearby, they'll reach Tingen City this afternoon toward evening..." Captain Dunn pushed the door open, interrupting their conversation.
"Captain, how was last night's manhunt?" Leonard flicked his hair, casually handing the cup of untouched coffee to the captain.
"Let him escape." Captain Dunn's expression didn't change as he drained the coffee in one gulp, setting the cup down, "Punishers, Machinery Heart, and Nighthawks - six people in total tracked to Iron Cross Street, found his temporary residence, but he disappeared into thin air, whether using extraordinary means or normal investigation, there was no trace of him."
"I also heard the investigation sounds at home last night." Klein pushed the door open, "Do you need me to help with divination?"
Dunn shook his head, "The Machinery Heart squad has a 'Mystery Pryer', a senior Beyonder similar to Old Neil, he's already used all mystical methods and found no traces of Tris."
"He'll always show some clues, captain." Klein comforted.
Captain Dunn nodded, "Did you tell them? Leonard."
"I was just about to when you came in, captain." Leonard spread his right hand, "Tonight's people are all here."
"Klein, tonight we need your power to pursue the Antigonus notebook, Kenley, your observation ability for details is very strong, tonight we equally need you." Dunn took Leonard's still untouched cup of coffee and drained it again in one gulp.
The captain seems very thirsty today, last night was apparently extraordinarily busy.
"Yes, captain." Leonard and Klein answered simultaneously.
"Captain, what should we prepare for tonight?" Klein couldn't help but feel a little nervous, this was his first time participating in a large group activity.
Dunn rubbed his nose, "I forgot to mention."
I knew it, captain, you definitely forgot something.
He took a piece of paper from the desk, wrote two sentences on it and handed it to Kenley, "You go find Old Neil, have him open the corresponding literature permissions for you, especially the related ability literature reading for '2-049'."
"Yes, captain." Kenley watched the captain walk into the adjacent office.
"Let's go, Klein."
