Chapter 69: Anomalies
Inside the Knight Intelligence stronghold.
Cass takes a sip of chilled whiskey and gives his guesses and thoughts on.
"Tying together all the information we've acquired so far; it's all been premeditated."
Leadership and strength were one aspect of what made Cass a captain, and his insight and analysis of events was no less impressive.
The current clues were enough to connect the dots and deduce some of the conspiracies that had surfaced on the surface.
"The death of the Baker family was a deliberate suicide.
A certain member of the Baker family, skilled in evil magic, murdered the entire family in one night by casting an evil spell to control the homeless.
There was only one purpose.
To attract the attention of the local Police department.
The Baker family belonged to a near aristocratic existence on London Street, and a search of the mansion had to be done with everything, hence, a large number of policemen were involved.
Thus, achieving the goal of attracting a large number of people to the inside of the mansion over a period of time.
They were then controlled through some sort of evil means.
Only one policeman with a strong will tried to resist, but his ordinary human spirit and body alone could not fight the evil thoughts, resulting in his sudden death in his home that night.
It is important to note that it isn't a policeman who is under control.
In one fell swoop, the Police branch was controlled, and to some extent, this matter could also be concealed, so that the truth of the matter would not spread to the Church and the Order in a short period of time.
Of course, with such a big thing happening to the Baker family, the eyes of the Knights must also be watching in secret, and the police branch wouldn't all give false information.
Therefore, give a phantom case based on the dictation of nearby residents along with some real circumstances to report to the Church.
Let the Order decide that this incident will not be too difficult and thus leave it to the trainee knights.
And we happen to be the winning team."
The theory given by Cass in combination with the current clues and intelligence was convincing.
Someone was clearly behind all of this, but the purpose of the other party was still unclear.
"What is the purpose of controlling a large number of ordinary people?"
As Coslin asked the question, Sophia, who was on the other side of the room, seemed to realize something and stood up nervously.
"We can't continue this discussion here; we must situation report up and have the Order lock down the Police Station! Take all suspected controllers, all of them, to the church for baptism.
I, I have a very bad feeling about this."
Han Dong glanced at Sophia, who placed her hands on her chest due to nervousness.
Actually, Han Dong also had this feeling, a very bad feeling.
Cass, who was the captain, hadn't considered the seriousness of the situation.
"Fia and I were not attacked in the Police branch, nor did we obtain strong enough evidence to determine that something was wrong with the Police officers from a subjective point of view.
Relying on personal speculation alone without tangible evidence to provide to the Order.
They wouldn't recklessly go out and blockade the local police station, which would affect public sentiment, In the absence of evidence, there would be at most 1 or 2 Knights investigating as ordinary people.
If the Police's branch isn't a problem, but just an unusual reaction to staff stress, I would be severely punished.
Also, the Public Police Branch might have made preparations to deal with the Ordinary Knight Investigation Team, there had better be evidence for the Knights to put the Public Police Branch on full lockdown.
Let's try to get evidence from the physical examination report."
It was at this moment.
Han Dong took out the diary that had been stored in his backpack for a long time.
Yes, it was the same diary that had plunged Coslin into deep contamination.
"This should contain what the policeman who died suddenly saw and heard that day when he investigated the Baker family mansion in depth, as well as his encounters and mental activities before he died, it might be able to become strong evidence."
"Hmm."
But now there was a problem.
How to view the diary.
You know, when Coslin was wearing goggles for viewing, the lenses shattered on the spot.
While Han Dong was unaffected and could read as much as he wanted, he couldn't reveal his secrets.
"This one secret knight intelligence station should have higher strength "goggles" provided, Fia, along with your holy light protection, you'll be the one to read it, right?"
"Well!"
Feeling herself in demand by Cass, Fia is not afraid of any danger, no matter what.
Soon, Cass brought a pair of special "goggles", heavy and massive, thickened simply by the lenses to increase resistance to pollution, not easy to carry on a daily basis.
Fia took out the Staff of Destiny and gently tapped it on her forehead.
A golden ring of light spreads around her brow, increasing her resistance to pollution.
The reading of the diary officially began.
Fia went through several spells to maintain the intensity of the holy light in the process.
When reading some odd text, it would have black filthy tears flowing down from the corners of its eyes, instantly evaporating when it landed on the ground.
Snap!
Closing the diary.
By the time the reading was done, Fia was giving out white steam all over her body, her whole body looking weak.
The first thing Cass did was to step forward and hug the other, "Fia, is everything okay?"
"Brother Cass doesn't need to worry about me, hurry! Hurry up and give the diary to the Knights for action, the diary already states that half of the policemen are currently in the Baker house! All saw something odd.
A contagious source of contamination.
It might, really have something to do with evil creature sorcery."
"Yes!"
Only give it to the messenger in the knight's intelligence stronghold, and the other party will deliver the evidence to the top brass as fast as they can.
Just wait for the change of the bounty mission decision to be made by the knight headquarters.
Cass reckoned that his group would receive the reward directly, and then the Knights would take over and handle the matter.
Twenty minutes passed.
A staff member from the intelligence station came to the room where Cass was waiting.
"Due to the provision of important information, you will receive a direct reward of 40% of the original bounty mission.
The bounty mission, [Ghost Cases in the Streets of London], has been changed to [The Evil Witchcraft Incident of the Baker Family], and the execution scale has been changed to a three-star assistance type mission.
You will be led by a regular knight to purge the Baker family."
Cass was shocked, "Assist class mission?"
The staff replied, "It was a decision made from above, because of the seriousness of the situation, at least one knight had to step in."
"What about the fallen Police station?"
"The Police substation has been fully suppressed by a knight operating in the neighborhood, However, the Police officer in question had left on a shift change half an hour ago and was unable to make an arrest.
According to feedback from residents on 37th Street.
Fifteen minutes ago, these Police officers who left on shift change, along with their families, all entered the Baker mansion."
"What! Take the family in with you! How many are there?"
"At least two hundred people."
Things were becoming more serious than expected.
