On a carriage at the intersection of Böklund Street, Leonard Mitchell was discussing the investigation target, Dawn Dantès, with two Red Gloves.
"I haven't made any direct contact with this gentleman for the time being. I've only investigated his servants and neighbors." Cindy, who had long burgundy hair, first introduced his findings. "It's preliminary confirmation that Dwayne Dantès acted as usual from last night to this morning. He went to bed at 11 at night and finished washing up at 7: 30 in the morning. He got his valet to prepare his clothes. During this period, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Of course, there are times when he eats supper and ends the day after 12. There are times when he wakes up before 7 and goes out for a stroll, but that's not normal."
The other Red Glove, Bob, nodded.
"From this point of view, Dawn Dantès doesn't have any problems."
Leonard Mitchell, who was sitting casually, immediately smiled.
"But the reverse is also true.
"According to the current situation, the missing servant should have been replaced between 11: 20 and 11: 35 last night. The infiltrator entered Chanis Gate at 6: 00, and we discovered the problem at 7: 20, but we didn't find the target.
"That also means that during the infiltration incident, Dawn Dantès was sleeping. He doesn't have an alibi."
"What you said makes sense …" Cindy looked at Leonard in surprise.
Her impression of this teammate was that although he often had judgments and questions that pointed to the core of a problem, he rarely gave such a long and logical explanation. He was more like an undisciplined poet, only occasionally having an epiphany.
Bob, who had a sharp chin, frowned and shook his head.
"This way, everyone on this list can't escape suspicion. They didn't sleep under the watchful eyes of others. Even their wives or husbands would have fallen asleep during this period of time.
"Also, I don't think an infiltrator would be so bold. He has already entered Chanis Gate and successfully escaped, completing such an unbelievable feat. Yet, he still lingered in the vicinity. He didn't abandon his identity and directly left. Is that possible?
"The risk he has to bear is immeasurable unless he's plotting something or can't bear to part with certain things. But what else can compare to infiltrating Chanis Gate? What can compare to those Sealed Artifacts, ingredients, and formulas? "
If I hadn't known beforehand that there was something wrong with Dawn Dantès, I would've made the same judgment … Leonard had already thought of an excuse.
"I'm just saying that Dawn Dantès can't be ruled out so easily.
"Besides, Captain Sostel also said that the infiltrator might have died behind Chanis Gate. Even if Dawn Dantès is related to this matter, he should be an accomplice.
"Hmm … Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence? In less than two months after he moved in, the Church had encountered something that might not happen in centuries. Furthermore, he had come to Saint Samuel Cathedral too frequently. He had sufficient opportunities to figure out the corresponding situation.
"Also, during this period of time, a strange sewer explosion happened in Boklund Street."
Cindy combed her burgundy hair.
"You've convinced me that this is a target that we need to focus on."
Bob tugged at the edge of his left Red Glove.
"It's true that there are too many coincidences.
"However, a coincidence doesn't necessarily equate to a problem. Even if Dawn Dantès goes to the cathedral every day and listens to the bishop's sermons, he can only grasp a superficial pattern. He won't be able to obtain any deeper information. For example, when the Keepers head to Chanis Gate, or how the Nighthawks deal with each other."
"Therefore, he's more likely to be one of the accomplices," Leonard said with a shrug.
He similarly didn't understand how Dawn Dantès knew the internal processes of the Nighthawks so well.
Cindy echoed.
"Regardless, we have to do a deeper investigation.
"Wait until noon and directly enter Dawn Dantès's dream to interrogate him? Yes, he has the habit of taking afternoon naps. "
Leonard raised his right hand and waved it gently.
"There's no rush.
"It's not like we haven't done a routine investigation before. It's not like we haven't entered Dawn Dantès's dream, but we didn't discover any problems.
"If there's really nothing wrong with him, we won't gain anything from entering his dream again. If there's something wrong with him and he didn't expose it previously, it means that he has a way to resist the dream interrogation. We will still be fooled when we enter his dream again.
"Therefore, we should monitor him and see who he interacts with to prevent him from escaping. At the same time, we should wait for Desi's feedback and figure out this tycoon's true identity. Once we discover any clues, we can request for a higher-level investigation method than entering his dream."
Cindy was a little stunned once again. He couldn't help but say half-jokingly,
She couldn't help but say half-jokingly, "It's rare to see you analyze a situation so seriously."
Furthermore, his thoughts were extremely clear!
Leonard fell silent for a moment before giving a self-deprecating laugh.
"Perhaps it's because I've encountered something similar before."
At that instant, Cindy felt that Leonard's green eyes had darkened a little.
She didn't speak further.
"Then, we'll take turns monitoring Dawn Dantès, starting with me."
"Alright." Leonard nodded and turned to Bob. "Get the sewer explosion case and see if you can discover any problems. I'll go back and read through the corresponding dossiers to see if there were any abnormalities in this street."
After splitting the work, the three Red Gloves busied themselves with their own matters. Leonard returned to Saint Samuel Cathedral's basement and obtained all the information regarding Böklund Street, as well as the dossiers regarding the Aurora Order's active or passive involvement in Baekeland for the past three years.
The latter was a train of thought that came to Leonard from the clues provided by the Parasite in him.
Since The Fool's existence and the corresponding honorific name were first spread from the Aurora Order, then, certain matters that the Aurora Order is involved in, or the attacks they suffered, might very well have something to do with the organization that believes in The Fool!
After returning to his office, Leonard reined in his casual attitude and seriously read through the thick stack of documents.
Among the dossiers related to the Aurora Order, he was most familiar with the Lanevus case. In this case, the True Creator's attempt to descend failed miserably due to a baffling report. There was a mysterious person who killed the main criminal, and he was suspected to be related to Hero Bandit Black Emperor. As they were all targeted at heinous criminals, they would scatter tarot cards on the target's corpse. Only Desire Apostle Jason Beria hadn't managed to do so because Leonard had rushed over too quickly.
Similarly, Leonard once again saw the name Sherlock Moriarty appear at the periphery of the matter.
The Aurora Order's Mr. X was assassinated at a gathering he held. There are remnants of demigod-level powers at the scene … At this moment, Dawn Dantès has already arrived in Baekeland, and he happens to be at …
The Aurora Order's Mr. A collaborated with the Demoness Sect to create the Great Smog of Baekeland. As a result, he perished …
The Aurora Order's Mr. A assassinated Ambassador Intis …
"…"
Leonard read through them one by one, but he didn't find any useful information.
He rubbed his temples and decided to change directions. He began with the cases related to Hero Bandit Black Emperor.
The Lanevus case … The first time a tarot card throwing ritual appeared at a murder scene … And The Fool is the beginning of the tarot cards …
Capim's case … With the strength and status displayed by Hero Bandit Black Emperor, it's impossible for him to imitate others … He also scattered tarot cards on the corpse …
The Desire Apostle Jason Beria case … I saw Hero Bandit Black Emperor with my own eyes, and at the same time, I didn't allow him to scatter his cards in time …
Apart from involving major events and ferocious criminals, what other connection do these three cases have? Leonard had previously thought about the corresponding problem, and he was certain that the great detective Sherlock Moriarty had appeared at the periphery of the Lanevus and Capim cases.
Then, what about the Desire Apostle case?
Leonard flipped through the attached dossier and began to examine it page by page. Finally, he saw a line of words in an inconspicuous place:
… The victims include Eichinger Stanton, Sherlock Moriarty … "
Leonard's expression became excited, as if he had found a breakthrough.
He flipped through the Aurora Order's dossier and didn't let go of any of the names mentioned. He extended his search and applied for all the dossiers related to every name.
The Aurora Order's Mr. A assassinated Ambassador Intis … Ambassador Intis is leading the fight for the difference engine manuscript … The clue to the difference engine manuscript came from a spy. His usual disguise is that of a private detective, a detective …
It's reported that another private detective is also involved in this matter and was nearly killed by a gang under the orders of Ambassador Intis … Another private detective … Leonard suddenly stood up, left Saint Samuel Cathedral, and headed for the police station where the case had been handled.
Although most of the dossiers had been taken away by MI9, Leonard still saw the name of the person who had made the report.
"Sherlock Moriarty!"
I now have reason to suspect that this great detective was involved in the Great Smog of Baekeland. He's on the contact list of many people involved, and he's at the periphery of the problem! He and Dawn Dantès belong to the secret organization that believes in The Fool? The corners of Leonard's mouth curled up as he thought. He decided to immediately return to seek out the information to verify his theory.
…
160 Böklund Street, in the master bedroom.
Klein, who was taking an afternoon nap, didn't receive the Nighthawks' entry into his dream, but he once again "returned" to the foggy town. He saw Demoness of Despair Panatiya, who was smiling sweetly with blood-colored tendrils hidden between her teeth. He saw her being hung up bit by bit as her eyes rolled back in despair as her head drooped down.
The hanging corpses, the horrifying gigantic mushroom, and the countless contorted transparent maggots appeared one after another, jolting Klein awake from his dream.
After rubbing his Sun acupoint, Klein felt that his mental state wasn't too good. And this wasn't a Spirit Body corruption problem that the gray fog could resolve.
He pondered for a moment before entering the bathroom and arriving above the gray fog. He conjured German Sparrow and made him pray.
"… Please tell Miss Justice when she'll be free in the near future. I wish to receive psychological treatment. "
