When Kieran heard Hoskin's cry of shock, he didn't even have the chance to ask as he jumped into the hole beside him.
Based on the footprints, Kieran was certain that the attacker he killed was the one who interrogated Barney the Jackal. The reason why the attacker returned after leaving was because he ran into an unexpected ambush.
The one who attacked him might very well be the culprit behind the explosion at Winchester House.
Kieran would never let the culprit who brought him so many troubles get away.
The moment his feet landed on the ground, Kieran followed the footprints in [Tracking]'s vision and chased after the attacker.
However, at the end of the footprints, Kieran didn't find anything.
There was only a trail of blood.
Kieran frowned when he saw the blood trail.
"The attacker was ambushed, so the footprints stopped abruptly at the end but other than the attacker's own footprints, there were no other footprints … Is it some kind of technique to cover up his tracks?"
Grand Master [Tracking] allowed Kieran to see most of the traces but not everything.
Transcendence and above Transcendence [Undercover] had a difficulty that Grand Master [Tracking] couldn't determine.
Other than that …
A soul type monster!
Grand Master [Tracking] allowed Kieran to see soul type monsters but it was hard for him to check the traces.
"If only my skill level didn't decrease by 1 …"
Kieran shook his head in regret when he thought of the Magic item.
However, when he saw the Magic item in his hand, the regret was diluted a lot.
It was a small dagger, even with the hilt attached, it was only the length of a grown man's middle finger to the bottom of his palm, it was dark and inconspicuous.
However, its design left a deep impression on Kieran.
One side of the dagger was a sharp blade and the other side was a row of jagged fangs.
[Name: Interrogator Dagger]
[Type: Dagger]
[Rarity: Magic]
[Attack: Common]
[Attribute: Ruthlessness of the Interrogator (Not only can it inflict damage but also inflict pain on the soul!)]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Sharp Weapon, Dagger (Master)]
[Remark: This dagger was originally an antique.]
...
"Able to inflict pain on the soul!"
Kieran looked at this description and couldn't help but smile.
Although it did not cause damage to the soul, it was only a high-level magic item. Kieran was satisfied that it could do such a thing.
With a flip of his hand, the [Interrogator Knife] was hidden at his waist. Using the bulletproof vest as a cover, Kieran checked his surroundings one more time before returning to the cave entrance.
The young man heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Kieran reappear.
"How is it?"
Hoskin asked.
"Below is a branch that connects to the underground sewer. There are a lot of daily necessities in there. I'm sure it's this guy's!"
"Do you know him, Hoskin?"
Kieran pointed at the corpse beside him.
"Yes, this guy is a wanted criminal!"
"About two months ago, this guy wanted to rob Edland Museum but he was discovered by the night patrol guards. In the end, this guy killed three of them and robbed a lot of the treasures in the museum. Not the ones that were placed outside but the ones that should be kept in the vault!"
"More importantly, this guy used the passcode to enter the vault. Because of that, the curator and deputy curator of Edland Museum who held the passcode were investigated but nothing was found."
Hoskin gave a brief introduction.
"After robbing a vault with a lot of treasures, he appeared at Barney the Jackal's place and stayed there for a long time. In the end, all the treasures were gone and Barney was brutally killed by this guy. I think Barney must have a big net to sell his loot but it was a little unfair when he split the loot."
Kieran said slowly.
"This guy really hid himself well!"
The young man was still upset about not discovering Barney the Jackal's true identity.
"But we have caught a lead: selling the loot isn't something a single person can do alone!"
"Hoskin, who do you think Barney the Jackal's men might be involved in this? Of course, it's not the dead bodies in Dancer's Den! "
Kieran asked.
"Rudal!
He is Barney the Jackal's right-hand man. If Barney needs help, Rudal will be the first one he thinks of! "
The young man said straightforwardly.
"Very well, let's go to this Mr. Rudal right away and see if we can get some information from him about what kind of role Barney the Jackal played in the Winchester House explosion case?"
Kieran said.
In fact, Kieran already had a hypothesis in his heart.
After all, the explosion at Winchester House might very well have been caused by one of those items.
Coincidentally, Buchler, who was under the protection of Barney the Jackal, ransacked Edland Museum.
Then …
Could that something be one of the stolen items?
It was highly possible that such a hypothesis was true.
So, before they left the dark passage, Kieran added.
"Hoskin, do you remember those stolen items? If it's possible, I would like to know more about them. "
"I'm sorry, 2567, there's too many of them!
There must be at least a hundred of them, I'll have to go through the station's records! "
The young man said as he went through the side passage and into the sewer.
Kieran didn't plan to go back the way he came.
Following the explosion, the police had filled the entire Dancer's Den. Before Teresa could figure out who the mole was, Kieran didn't want to come into contact with other officers.
Kieran climbed out from the manhole cover and pulled Hoskin out.
"I swear I will never come to the sewer again!"
The young man swore after being tortured by the foul stench.
"Actually, I think you should buy a gas mask beforehand."
Kieran suggested.
As long as Hoskin didn't plan to give up his profession, he would surely go to the sewer again.
The sewer was a place where the city's filth gathered and it was also the best place to dispose of a body.
Unfortunately, the path that Kieran took was obviously cleaned up by Barney the Jackal and Bridger, other than the foul stench, there were only one or two rats.
"Please don't let that happen!"
The young man who opened the car door seemed to understand what Kieran was referring to, he turned the key with a bitter smile.
As the engine roared, the police radio in the car was switched on.
"Emergency!"
"Emergency!"
"Former Chief Teresa is suspected of bombing Winchester House and murdering mayor-candidate Mr. Symede Augen and a few others. She injured a few people during her arrest and escaped. She is now listed as a Level 1 Fugitive!"
"Any officer can make their own judgment and fire on her!"
"I repeat …"
…
The voice that came from the radio instantly widened Hoskin's eyes.
