My Cell Prison

Chapter 63: Door-to-door Investigation

This little newsboy looked to be in his early fourteen's.

He had no intention of selling newspapers after meeting a few 'big money makers' today.

Moreover, there was something about the area at 37 London Street that he had quite an in-depth understanding of.

With such a big matter, he could make a lot of money if he could give the first-hand information to sell to the newspaper.

Unfortunately, there was information about area 37 that the newspaper refused to accept at all, as if a relevant directive had been given 'from above' that no reporting was allowed.

"You don't have to say what everyone knows on the surface; we want to hear news that the general public doesn't know."

"Well," the newspaper boy racked his brain to move something about what was behind the 37th, "At that time, in order to get first-hand information, I went to the scene first for this matter, and saw the murderer who killed the Baker family.

Strangely enough, the murderer was arrested right in front of the Baker's house, and seemed to be standing there without leaving after killing him.

What's especially strange is that, judging by the way he was dressed, he was no different from the average vagrant."

"A vagrant?"

"Yes!"

The newsboy was also puzzled, "I remember that this house owner seems to be a trainee knight who failed to graduate, even if he didn't graduate, he must be stronger than an ordinary person! How could a homeless man kill you? I feel strange too."

Cass nodded and also gave the Newspaper Boy five pence to spend at the same time.

The Newspaper Boy didn't care at all about the truth of the matter, he was now just searching his brain for tidbits of information on the matter and only cared about the money.

As a result, the information that the Newspaper Boy proceeded to provide was either known to Han Dong and the others, or it was a situation that he had guessed by wanting money and adding his own subjective assumptions, which had no reference value whatsoever.

Cass gave another five pence and sent the newspaper boy away.

Cass whispered, "I didn't expect the little paperboy to give a useful piece of information, at least to show that the murder of the Baker family was not right in itself, and was never a mere phantom event, what do you guys think?"

In the team, Coslin, who specializes in mechanical engineering, gives his opinion first.

"Captain, there is one more issue that needs to be investigated in advance.

About this matter of a certain policeman who died suddenly that night after investigating the Baker's mansion.

It must be that he was cursed inside the mansion, it's best that we don't go directly into the area where it happened.

Instead, we should split up and investigate from the police station and nearby residents.

Since the newspaper boy can give a piece of information that we don't know, others can as well."

"Hmm! Just to be safe, let's not go it alone, let's split into two groups. I'll team up with Andeva, and you two will team up."

Hearing this, Fia looked unhappy, she definitely wanted to spend time with Cass as a duo.

Who knew, Han Dong suddenly suggested, "Captain Cass, why don't you team up with Miss Sophia? You guys should be moving around the second level a lot, and with your three-star status, you should be able to get inside information easily by heading to the security branch."

"Hmm, That's right."

Han Dong said so, and Fia's look became strange.

But she was naturally happy to be on a team with Cass, and her hostility towards Han Dong was reduced by half.

Cass looked at his watch, "It's one in the afternoon now, try to finish the investigation by three, Otherwise, wait until night and then the danger of entering the building in question will be even higher."

"Yeah!"

With that, the investigation was split up.

Cass and Sophia had just left.

The small man, Coslin, asked Han Dong curiously, "Why did you suggest we team up?"

Han Dong acted like a two-star budding newcomer and said with a smile, "Ha-ha, Miss Sophia's eyes already contain a look of wanting to kill me, since you've decided to join this team, you have to make good relations within the team."

Coslin couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle under his breath.

"Well, Fia-san can't be messed with, she has a big background, and I have to let her in the team.

Of course, she's still a very good and rare Holy Light Mage herself. Besides, Captain Cass can keep her down, or I wouldn't want to be on a team with an odd-tempered lady."

"Please take care of her in the future, senior." Han Dong was still humble.

"Let's not say these polite words, let's prove your strength first, although our squad isn't the strongest in three stars, we can at least rank in the top five. We won't take a team member who doesn't have the ability.

If you don't have enough strength in [Destiny Space], it's not just as simple as you dying alone, you'll even get everyone in our squad involved."

"Mm." Han Dong smiled awkwardly.

Coslin also took this opportunity to get to know the new member well by teaming up alone with Han Dong.

"Where do you think is the best place to start the investigation? Near the scene of the crime, or go to the newspaper to find out more about it?"

"Didn't Senior Coslin say that before?

We need to go to the home of the suddenly dead policeman first and find out more about the circumstances.

The reward list just gives the word 'sudden death', which is too perfunctory. There might be some hidden details that the local police officer didn't find."

Waiting for Cass and Sophia to arrive at the local sheriff's station, they passed the address of the dead sheriff's officer to Han Dong.

The two immediately proceeded to their destination.

To clarify, London Street was not just one street, but a large area that contained multiple streets.

The number of which represents the number of streets in this area, a total of 51 streets are included in London Street.

Soon.

The carriage pulls up in front of the old building at number 31.

Knock, knock, knock.

The knock on the door is slow to be answered.

However, Coslin, wearing special goggles, spotted someone 'peeping' through the magnification function.

There was an eye looking at the two men in the doorway between the tiny cracks in the curtains on the second floor.

Coslin and the bloodied eye just stared at each other.

After half a moment.

The peeper by the window left, then they heard a slow footstep coming from inside the building.

The door opened and an old crone with white, wrinkled hair peeked out, making a kind of hushed voice, "You're not from the newspaper, nor are you policemen, what are you doing in my house?"

Coslin showed the Knight card directly.

"We will be conducting a detailed investigation into the building where the incident occurred, and need you to provide information about [Lester Alsop]'s relevant information,"

"[Lester Alsop] is the name of the policeman who died suddenly.

Coslin was wise enough to add.

"I suspect that Lester didn't simply die suddenly, he died for a reason, and I'd like your recollection of any different behaviors or strange physical features that he had before his sudden death.

We want to find out the truth!"

"Hurry up and come in, I don't want anyone to see me at home, or those pesky policemen will be bothering me again."

Han Dong, who had just entered the door, noticed an 'unusual' detail.

The temperature at the current time of year was around 18C.

Han Dong, Coslin, and the others were all wearing jackets, but this old woman was only wearing a thin, even somewhat transparent shirt, and a pair of worn-out shorts.

The old woman seemed to be suffering from a kind of skin wart, with some dark spots on her back, visible even through her shirt.
