This newsboy looked to be in his early fourteen-years-old.
After meeting a few 'rich people' today, he had no intention of selling his newspaper.
Moreover, he had a deeper understanding of the area around No. 37 London Street.
With such a big incident happening, if he could sell the first-hand information to the newspaper, he could make a lot of money.
Unfortunately, the newspaper did not accept any information about 37. It seemed that the 'higher-ups' had given the order not to report it.
"You don't have to say what everyone knows on the surface. What we want to hear is news that ordinary people don't know."
"Hmm …" The newsboy racked his brains to bring out some of the things behind 37. "At that time, in order to get first-hand information, I rushed to the scene immediately for this incident … and saw the murderer who killed Beck's family.
It's very strange. The murderer was arrested at the entrance of Beck's house. It seemed that he had been standing here after killing people and never left.
What's especially strange is that from his appearance and clothing, he was no different from an ordinary homeless person. "
"Homeless person?"
"Yes!"
The newsboy was also puzzled. "I remember that the owner of the house seemed to be a trainee knight who had not graduated … Even if he didn't graduate, he must be stronger than ordinary people! How could he be killed by a homeless person? I also feel that it's very strange. "
Cass nodded and tipped the newsboy five pence at the same time.
The newsboy did not care about the truth of the matter at all. He only cared about the gossip in his mind. He only cared about the problem of money.
In the end, the information provided by the newsboy was either known to Han Dong and the others, or he wanted money and guessed the situation based on his own subjective imagination. It did not have any reference value at all.
Cass gave the newsboy another five pence and sent him away.
Cass said in a low voice, "I didn't expect the little newsboy to give us such useful information. At least it means that the murder of Beck's family is not right. It's definitely not a simple ghost incident … What do you think?"
In the team, Coslin, who was good at machinery manufacturing, gave his opinion first.
"Captain, there's still a problem that needs to be investigated in advance.
It's about a security officer who died suddenly that night after investigating Beck's house.
He must have been cursed in the house … It's best that we don't enter the scene of the incident directly.
Instead, we should act separately and investigate from the security branch and the nearby residents.
Since the newsboy can give us information that we don't know, others can also give us information. "
"Yes! For safety's sake, it's better not to act alone … Let's split into two groups. Andwa and I will be in a group, and the two of you will be in a group. "
Hearing this, Feya looked unhappy … She definitely wanted to spend some alone time with Cass.
Unexpectedly, Han Dong suddenly suggested, "Captain Cass, why don't you team up with Miss Sophia? You should be active on the second floor. With your three-star status, you should be able to easily obtain internal information if you head to the Public Security Bureau. "
"Hmm … that's true."
Hearing Han Dong's words, Feya's expression became strange.
However, she was naturally happy to be on the same team as Kas, and her hostility towards Han Dong decreased by half.
Cass looked at his watch. "It's one o 'clock in the afternoon. Let's try to finish the investigation before three o' clock … Otherwise, it'll be even more dangerous to enter the building at night."
"Yes!"
Just like that, they split up to investigate.
Cass and Sophia had just left.
The short Coslin asked Han Dong curiously, "Why did you suggest that we team up?"
Han Dong pretended to be a two-star newbie, and said with a grin, "Haha, Miss Sophia's eyes already have an expression of wanting to kill me … Since I've decided to join this team, I have to establish good relationships in the team."
Coslin couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly laughed.
"Hmm, Sister Feya can't be provoked … Her background is very big, and I can only give in to her in the team.
Of course, she herself is a very good and rare Holy Light Mage. In addition, Captain Cass can suppress her, or else I wouldn't be willing to team up with the eccentric Miss. "
"Please take care of me in the future, Senior." Han Dong was still very modest.
"Don't say these polite words, first prove your strength … Although our team isn't the strongest three-star team, we can at least rank in the top five. We won't accept a team member who doesn't have the ability.
In the [Destiny Space], if your strength isn't enough, it won't be as simple as you dying alone, it will even implicate everyone in our team. "
"Hmm." Han Dong smiled awkwardly.
Coslin also took this opportunity to form a team with Han Dong alone, and get to know this new member well.
"Where do you think is the best place to start the investigation? Near the crime scene, or go to the newspaper office to find out more? "
"Didn't Senior Coslin say it before?
We need to go to the home of the public security officer who died suddenly to understand the specific situation.
The bounty list only gave the word 'sudden death', which is too perfunctory. Maybe there are some hidden details that the local public security officers didn't discover. "
After waiting for Cass and Sophia to arrive at the local public security bureau, they sent the address of the public security officer who died suddenly to Han Dong.
The two of them immediately went to their destination.
To explain, London Street was not just a street, but a large area that included many streets.
The numbers represented the street numbers in this area, and a total of 51 streets were included in London Street.
After a while.
The carriage stopped in front of the old building on Street 31.
Knock, knock, knock.
There was no response after knocking on the door for a long time.
However, Coslin, who was wearing special goggles, discovered that someone was' peeping 'through the magnification function.
Through the small gap between the curtains on the second floor, an eye was looking at the two people at the door.
Coslin and the bloodshot eye looked at each other.
After half the night.
The peeping Tom left from the window, and then he heard slow footsteps coming from inside the building.
The door opened, and an old woman with white hair and wrinkles poked her head out, and said in a hoarse voice, "You are not from the newspaper office, nor are you public security officers … What are you doing at my house?"
Coslin directly showed the knight card.
"We are going to carry out a detailed investigation of Building 37, and we need you to provide information about [Lester Alsop] …"
[Lester Alsop] was the name of the public security officer who died suddenly.
Coslin very cleverly added, "I don't think that he died suddenly.
"I suspect that Lester's death was not a simple sudden death. There must be a reason for his death. I hope you can recall if he had any unusual behavior or strange physical characteristics before his sudden death.
We want to find out the truth! "
"Come in quickly … I don't want anyone to see me at home. Otherwise, those annoying public security officers will come and bother me again."
Han Dong, who had just entered, noticed an 'abnormal' detail.
The temperature in the current season was about 18 ° C.
Han Dong, Coslin, and the others were all wearing coats … but the old woman was only wearing a thin, even somewhat transparent shirt and a pair of tattered shorts.
Through the clothes, he could even vaguely see that the old woman seemed to have a kind of skin wart, and some dark spots grew on her back.
