The two discussed for a while, but had no clue about the whereabouts of the Pluck Family's murderer, who was probably "Aurora Order" Mid Sequence Beyonder.
The name of the bearer bond is precisely because it does not require that the drawee and the buyer are the same person, and the buyer's information is not even recorded. This Beyonder only needs to take the bond to the corresponding bank and lose part of the interest, and then he can directly cash it in and get the cash without leaving his own information in the whole process.
Importantly, they were unable to determine which bank issued the bonds.
There are seven major banks in the Loen Kingdom, and there are countless small local banks that are dependent on these large banks with liquidation rights. There are no less than ten branches in Tingen City. Not to mention sending people to follow them one by one, just posting wanted notices everywhere will cost the police a lot of energy.
If you include stores that can buy jewelry, it will be even more difficult to block the murderer's channel for cashing in his property.
"Maybe after Klein comes back, he can use the existing information and the murderer's appearance to try divination. Otherwise, we have to wait for 'Red Gloves'. They have a more efficient tracking method."
Leonard sighed, stretched out on the back of the sofa, and seemed to have given up on the pursuit.
"I thought I heard my name?"
A head wearing a half-high silk top hat poked out from the crack in the door of the reception hall. Under the brim was short black hair and brown eyes.
Then the door was completely pushed open, and Dunn and Frye behind Klein walked in.
"You are back," Angel stood up from the sofa and greeted his teammates one after another, "Did the mission go well?"
"Easy."
Klein replied with a smile, but his tired look could not be concealed, like someone who had worked all night and was in desperate need of sleep.
"Corpse Collector" Frye on the side also looked tired and yawned constantly. Only Dunn Smith was in high spirits, even more energetic than usual.
This is the confidence that "Sleepless" Pathway brings him...
Angel swore, watching Dunn explain the task to the two people traveling with him. Then he walked through the hall partition with a half-palm-sized dark gold badge and went to Chanis Gate to return Sealed Artifact.
"That's 3-0782, 'Mutated Sun Holy Emblem'. It can detect the ghosts and dead bodies around Purification. This time we went to Ramde to look for ghosts that disturb the people. It will come in handy."
Seeing Angel staring at the back of Dunn, Klein introduced it from the side.
"Well, I remembered, there is such a thing Sealed Artifact, so you are so tired because you have to guard it all night?"
Angel I remember that Chanis Gate of Tingen has such a Mystical Item sealed inside it, because it can not only destroy the ghosts around Purification, It will also Purification the souls of all living people at the same time. As long as ordinary people stay around for an hour, they will become useless people who can only Praise the Sun. Even Beyonder cannot survive six hours.
Therefore, when taking it out, Nighthawks people need to take turns taking it to the wild to guard it to prevent ordinary people from approaching it for a long time.
After hurriedly introducing his experience at Lamud Town Purification Black Armor Sword-Wielding Wraith to Angel and Leonard in the reception hall, Klein dragged his exhausted body to the lounge to catch up on his sleep.
Frye also yawned, his eyelids drooped, and his already pale skin lost all color. However, he still insisted on walking into the office equipped with a typewriter to write a mission report and reimbursement application for this operation.
In the reception hall that was quite lively just now, only Angel and Leonard were left, and even Rozanne took a broom to clean other rooms.
Fortunately, Dunn returned Sealed Artifact very quickly. Not long after the two overworked Nighthawks left the hall, his figure appeared behind the partition.
"Old Neil told me about the case, Leonard, please report the situation."
Sitting on the remaining sofa and pouring himself a cup of coffee, the captain of Nighthawks did not exchange too many pleasantries, but went straight to the topic.
Leonard told Dunn in detail about the tragedy that happened at Pulak's house yesterday. Angel added information from time to time, including Old Neil's Ritual Magic results, as well as several people's guesses about the murderer Potion Pathway.
"It seems that the murderer is Mid Sequence Beyonder of 'Secrets Suppliant' Pathway. According to the latest relevant information issued by Holy Cathedral, he is at least 'Rose Bishop Z' of Sequence 6 Z', and is most likely one of the twenty-two Oracle in 'Aurora Order'. They are coded by letters, from Mr. A to Mr. X, at least Sequence 7, and even Sequence 5."
The letter code... Could it be that the "Rose Bishop" of Enmat Harbor and Mr. C are also...
Thinking of the 21 other Beyonders who were skilled in using Flesh Magic, cruel and lawless, Angel couldn't help but feel a chill.
And now such a "Oracle" has come to Tingen City, and has even started committing crimes, killing five innocent citizens.
"Report Holy Cathedral, maybe we need the support of 'Red Gloves' this time."
After pondering for a moment, Dunn made a decision.
Angel felt like the stone in his heart had dropped to the ground.
After fighting Mr. C from Enmat Harbor, she assessed that Tingen City Nighthawks Squad had a low chance of victory against such an enemy.
According to the evaluation of Clement, the captain of Emmett Harbor Team, Mr. C's strength should have been damaged due to some reasons and he did not fully recover.
Under such a premise, he was suppressed by "Hand of Declaration" who completely restrained his Beyonder Ability. In the end, he was only beaten to half death and successfully escaped.
Sealed Artifact owned by Tingen Team flashed through his mind one by one. Only "Blood Vessel Thief" can cause some trouble to "Rose Bishop". This requires good luck and can steal his key ability.
Originally, she thought that Dunn would hesitate, thinking that the Tingen City team was enough to solve such troubles, and was unwilling to call for support immediately, but she did not expect that the captain was very decisive.
Leonard sitting opposite her also seemed relieved. It seemed that the two of them had the same concerns.
Dunn stood up from the sofa, shook his windbreaker, walked to the partition again, and then went to the office where Telegraph Machine was installed.
"By the way," his figure just disappeared behind the door, and half of his head popped out, "Angel, come here."
Could it be that he secretly complained about the captain and was found out?
Angel nodded in confusion, stood up and followed Dunn into his office.
The latter took off his thin windbreaker and top hat and hung them on the coat rack, sat on the back chair in front of his desk, lifted the dustproof cloth covering Telegraph Machine, picked up the code pad, and started writing the telegram to be sent.
The telegraph in this era was really troublesome, and it was wired. It was almost impossible to use without the fixed lines laid between cities...
However, I read in the newspaper that wireless telegraphy capable of short-distance communication is already being used on a small scale, and may soon replace the backward wired telegraphy.
Looking at Dunn Smith writing the code word for word, Angel secretly commented on the technology of the steam age. Then he remembered that he was called to the office by Dunn, and hesitantly interrupted his work.
"Captain, why did you call me here?"
"Huh?"
Dunn seemed to have just remembered that there was another person in the room, stopped the pen in his hand, and raised his head.
"Sorry... I forgot..."
Angel forced a smile in response.
"It's like this. In the operation we solved Curse Altar at the end of July, I have already asked my acquaintances in Backlund about you using the unregistered Mystical Item."
"She thinks this matter is not a big problem because you are not holding Sealed Artifact that originally belonged to Church of Evernight. She also agrees with our handling of the matter and suggests that we keep this Mystical Item and return it to them together after we find the traitor Machinery Hivemind."
Dunn said, touched the coffee cup on the corner of the table, took a look, found that it was empty, and put it down with his lips pursed.
"She also mentioned some of the dissatisfaction felt by church members at Backlund when they mentioned Machinery Hivemind, and believed that this view is prevalent within the church. So this intervention of 'Red Gloves' is an opportunity. You can take the initiative to expose your Mystical Item and use 'temporary custody' as an explanation."
It is better to expose boldly and proactively than to explain hastily after being traced. I understand this...
Angel nodded.
"As for the other thing..."
He looked at Angel's waist, a mysterious smile appeared on his lips, and did not continue.
It turns out that the captain already knows... maybe Klein and Leonard also...
Angel followed Dunn's gaze and discovered that the latter's gaze was focused on "Bloodthirst" that he had hidden under his windbreaker.
Does he mean for me not to expose another item and they pretend not to know? Because the reinforced bullet of Black Flame is easy to hide, and "Magician Pocket Watch" has been written into the report of Enmat Harbor?
Many thoughts ran through her mind.
"There is another thing. Regarding what you said last time, you summarized the method of mastering Potion from Daly's experience." Not noticing that Angel was thinking a lot, Dunn continued, "Klein also mentioned similar ideas to me before going to Lamud Town yesterday. Have you ever communicated with me?"
Klein also revealed Acting Method to the captain? By the way, he said he would pave the way for a special application.
Angel recalled Klein's "plan", nodded, and replied:
"We talked about this together. He thought this method was very effective, so he has been working part-time at 'Seer Club'. By performing divination for others, he pretended to be a mysterious Seer. He quickly mastered the power of Potion."
"In several battles, after killing Beyonder, I also felt that I could control the 'assassin' ability more easily. Maybe this caters to some special rules."
By the way, she revealed the information she had about "Assassin" Potion.
"That's right. The method you summarized should be accurate. Klein told me that he feels more confident in Potion's ability, such as the use of Spirit Vision. He is even ready to find an opportunity to submit a special application - just like Daly."
"And I am also trying these days to become a real 'Nightmare'..."
Dunn seemed to have forgotten that he had to send a telegram to Holy Cathedral. He put down the pen and leaned back on the chair, his eyes becoming deep.
"What's the result?"
Angel asked curiously.
"It's quite effective. It's been three years since I was promoted to 'Nightmare', but it's only during this time that I feel I've fully mastered the relevant abilities."
"Well, except for memory."
He added with a smile on his lips.
Recalling Dunn who clumsily closed the office curtains and tried to scare himself with the flame of a lighter when he first heard about "Acting Method", Angel also laughed, sincerely happy that his captain had found the right way to play the role.
Wait, flames, threats...
During this period, I had nightmares again and again. Every night I returned to the negative state of "Magician Pocket Watch". I was frightened by the gas lights in the room and hid in the basement. Could it be that the captain did it through the "Nightmare" ability?
It happened that the captain left Tingen City last night and went to Lamud Town, and he had a good sleep...
He felt that the performance was "quite effective"...
The smile at the corner of Angel's mouth disappeared, his eyes widened, looking at "Nightmare" Dunn Smith in disbelief.
The latter seemed to sense the anger of his teammates and looked away guiltily.
