Turning around to look at the old house, Hayashi River flipped through a stack of photos that had just been taken in the house.
He looked at them carefully, but he was thinking about something else.
Over the past week, Hayashi River had been monitoring Deputy Captain Mark and had gained a lot. Not only did he figure out the stronghold of the Blood Spirits and Blood Descendants, but he also found out many secrets.
This old house was one of the secrets.
Winlington was a very cautious guy. Every time he went to a place, he would set up a trap and plan an escape route.
In fact, it was normal for him to be so cautious. If it were anyone else, they would be very cautious after doing so many stupid things in the Ice and Blood Principality and the Holy Federation Kingdom.
During his tenure as the first mayor of the White Arrow Harbor, Winlington used his unique power to set up many traps.
This kind of trap was very unique. It could interfere with the mind of living creatures. Simply put, it was a mental attack aimed at the head.
The Blood Spirits called it [Blood Spirit Cage]!
That night on the Leba Bridge, the attack on Su Duanpo was caused by the power of the [Blood Spirit Cage].
In this old house, there was also a [Blood Spirit Cage] set up.
There were more than 30 [Blood Spirit Cages] in the entire White Arrow Harbor. They were scattered and there was no pattern to their locations.
Hayashi River guessed that it might have something to do with the escape route that Winlington had planned in the past.
However, before this trap was activated, it was difficult for Hayashi River to see any clues. Standing in the old house, he could only vaguely sense a trace of abnormality.
This was because he knew that there was a [Blood Spirit Cage] here. If he did not know, it would be difficult for him to notice this unusual aura.
After a week of investigation, Hayashi River came to a conclusion that the [Blood Spirit Cage] and [Winlington's Magic] both required the unique power of Winlington.
What the Blood Spirits wanted the most was this unique power. This was the source of the development of hidden Blood Descendants, the [Blood Spirit Cage], and [Winlington's Magic].
Once the Blood Spirits mastered this power, it would not be long before they launched an all-out war against the Sea-Ao Empire.
…
"Hayashi River …"
Standing in front of the old house, disregarding Meron's presence, Mu Shuangye's face was completely red. She clenched her fists together as she stared at Hayashi River. Her eyes were filled with a unique charm.
Hayashi River lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything. He flipped through the photos he had just taken, one after another, carefully scrutinizing them as if he was looking for clues.
Mu Shuangye couldn't stand it anymore. She walked forward and pulled off Hayashi River's gas mask. She wore it and took a deep breath.
Although this gas mask was issued by the Garrison Guard, Hayashi River had modified it slightly out of the habit of a future Mechanic.
The filter effect of this gas mask far exceeded that of ordinary products. Moreover, he also added a layer of filter with the fragrance of mint to refresh the mind and detoxify.
Looking at Mu Shuangye, Hayashi River felt helpless. This was the gas mask he had worn before. Didn't this young lady dislike it at all?
"I'm saved …"
Smelling the cool mint fragrance, Mu Shuangye walked to the Garrison Guard's hover car at the entrance of the cemetery. However, she had no intention of taking off the gas mask.
Starting the hover car and driving away from the cemetery, Mu Shuangye took off the gas mask and let out a sigh of relief.
Then, she thought about the investigation this time and frowned. The results of the investigation were still as disappointing as before.
"Hayashi River, what should I do! In less than a month, the training camp will end. I have to go back. What should I do … "
Sitting in the backseat, Mu Shuangye grabbed Hayashi River's arm and shook it vigorously. She really wanted to find the Mu family's first family seal.
"Shuangye, don't worry. When I find the seal, I'll send it to you, "Hayashi River said.
"Humph … You're such a liar …"
Mu Shuangye glanced at him. Knowing that Hayashi River was comforting her, she turned her head to look at the cemetery in the distance. She was a little unwilling.
Compared to the previous experience of the Mu family's heirs, this could be said to be a breakthrough. However, why was there no Mu family's family token among so many recovered?
After calculating the harvest during this period, 80% of the tokens that Winlington had stolen in the past had been recovered. Only a few families and aristocratic families were missing.
If the missing tokens were all from great aristocrats and aristocratic families, it would be fine. At least they had something in common.
However, some of the family tokens that were missing belonged to small aristocrats and aristocratic families. Now, they no longer had titles.
After a collective study by the investigation team, they speculated that the missing tokens were probably destroyed.
Mu Shuangye and Meron couldn't accept this conclusion.
"Yes! Where are the whereabouts of those tokens … "Hayashi River murmured.
In fact, even the Blood Spirits hiding in the White Arrow Harbor didn't know the whereabouts of those tokens.
Another secret that Hayashi River had heard was that before Winlington disappeared, he put an important piece of information in a secret place. It could be regarded as a will. There might be something that the Blood Spirits had been looking for.
Those tokens might have been placed together with the will, or they might have been taken away by Winlington.
Regardless of the situation, it meant that these tokens would never be able to find their whereabouts …
"The investigation has come to an end. It's time to close the case." Hayashi River sighed and murmured.
"Yes. Everything that should be investigated has been investigated. It's time to close the case. "Meron said as he drove.
Mu Shuangye nodded helplessly. The higher-ups of the South Rudra Province Garrison Department had been pressuring them. Even if they wanted to delay it, they couldn't delay it for long.
At this time, the car's communicator rang. After connecting, Su Duanpo's voice sounded.
"Shuangye, there seems to be some progress in Leier County. We've found a clue about the Blood Spirit Clan. It seems that there is still some hope of finding the Mu Family's token … "
"Sister Su, is this true?!" Mu Shuangye was inexplicably surprised and asked repeatedly.
"Team Twelve, Team Ji just informed me that Vice-captain Mark led the team and found some clues. However, Shuangye, don't hold too much hope. It's just a little bit of a possibility … "
Su Duanpo replied.
Mu Shuangye cheered. A little hope was better than nothing.
Hayashi River smiled without saying anything. He thought, 'Has it begun?' This was the plan that the Blood Spirits and Blood Descendants had been laying out.
…
At night.
Uncle Jason's business was booming. Hayashi River sat in his usual seat by the window, enjoying a sumptuous dinner with a 20% discount.
This week, he had been eating dinner in Uncle Jason's shop, not because of the 20% discount, but because of something else.
After dinner, Su Gu, the shop assistant, came to clean the table. Looking at the young man's agile movements, Hayashi River smiled and said, "Little Gu, I thought you wouldn't be able to do this for long. I didn't expect you to become more and more skilled."
The shop assistant, Su Gu, was a handsome young man with an introverted personality. He was one year younger than Hayashi River and had come to apply for a job last month.
In the beginning, Su Gu was careless and made many mistakes. Uncle Jason felt that this young man wouldn't be able to do this for long.
Now, Uncle Jason admired this young man very much. He praised this young man for being able to do the work of two people. He was prepared to raise Su Gu's salary at the end of the month.
"It's all thanks to Boss Jason." Su Gu smiled with the shyness of a young man. Then, he skillfully carried the tall plate and walked to the kitchen.
At this time, Uncle Jason walked over and put a lunch box on the table. "Come, Chuan, this is for my little blue cat."
In the lunch box were three grilled White Arrow Fish, which Uncle Jason had personally made.
Since meeting Blue Kitty once, Uncle Jason had also become a cat lover. When he saw the little fellow, he became a caring uncle.
Every time Hayashi River came to eat, after paying the bill, Uncle Jason would ask him to bring back a box of cat food.
"Uncle Jason, why are you like this every time? I won't come next time." Hayashi River evaded.
Uncle Jason's fierce face twitched. He stared at him and said, "This is not for you. This is for the little fellow. Take it."
Hayashi River declined again and thanked him with a smile.
Coming out of Uncle Jason's restaurant, the evening wind was still hot. Hayashi River rubbed his full stomach and inadvertently turned his head. He saw Su Gu's figure in the crowd at the end of the street in the distance.
This young man was carrying a large incubator and delivering food everywhere.
Whoosh!
In the sensor goggles, an image appeared. It was Su Gu's photo. In the corner of the photo, there was a bright red label: Recessive Blood Descendant (II).
"Did this guy come to Uncle Jason's restaurant to spy on me? No, a month ago, no one should have noticed me. Was it to spy on Sister Ning Ya? Or did he have another purpose … "
With such doubts in mind, Hayashi River walked home.
