Chapter 262 Chasing the Murderer

"Although Count Grosz is a believer of the goddess, some of his behaviors in private life are inappropriate. He especially likes immature boys...

“But since he never forced him, and always made a ‘transaction’, the church could only ‘advise’ him in a subtle way, but the effect was not good.

"Evidently Count Gross also knew that his 'hobby' was not liked by the church, so every time he went for 'entertainment', he would deliberately throw away the 'Nighthawks' sent to him by the church.

"But what the count doesn't know is that the church's protection for him is actually a secret and a secret. His past actions have been recorded by the secret Nighthawks.

“This means that he has never crossed the church’s bottom line once, otherwise he would have been cleared out by the official Beyonders themselves.

"And this time Count Grosz was assassinated, it also coincided with the day when he got rid of the night watcher in the dark. But unfortunately, the night watcher who secretly protected him came into contact with a sealed object the day before, causing his mental state to He was in poor condition and showed signs of losing control. He even thought for a moment that he was still in a dream and failed to follow the Count's footsteps.

"In addition, among the four Beyonder bodyguards hired by Count Gross himself, the strongest Sequence 6 'Dawn Knight' happened to encounter an enemy when the Count was assassinated and failed to play any role.

"Two of the other three, due to various negligences, did not carry corresponding extraordinary items. As a result, they were helpless against the 'Nightmare' that assassinated the earl and could only watch the earl die.

"As for the last extraordinary bodyguard, it was the murderer himself... The murderer replaced him a day ago without arousing anyone's suspicion, including the two Nighthawks.

"If it's just one thing, it can be described as a coincidence, but so many accidents added together mean that someone is definitely controlling all of this!"

After explaining his analysis, Leonard lowered his voice and asked as if mumbling to himself: "Old man, could it be '0-08'?"

"It doesn't look like it...and I confirm that '0-08' is not in this city." A slightly older voice echoed in his mind.

"Isn't it '0-08'?" Leonard frowned, "But this case gives me a very similar feeling to Tingen."

"Your feeling is correct... It should be done by a high-sequence 'spectator'... But I don't know exactly who it is... After all, the techniques of those I know are much better than this, at least you There must be no flaws." Pales chuckled in an old voice.

Leonard wanted to ask a few more questions, but at this time, Sost, the captain of the "Red Gloves", entered the room, threw a stack of documents on the table, looked around and said:

"Based on the existing intelligence, it can be initially confirmed that the murderer is the 'Black Blade' of the Church of the God of War!"

"Black Blade" is the name of the elite team of the "God of War" church. It is similar to "Red Gloves", but its functions are different. "Black Blade" is more about doing some "dirty work".

"The 'Black Blade' of the God of War Church? How dare you attack Backlund... and succeed? Who provided him or them with the intelligence and support?" A "Red Glove" frowned.

“It’s not clear yet, but you should be able to imagine how bad this thing is.

"After that 'Black Blade' used the 'Nightmare' ability to kill people, he also exposed Count Gross's 'hobby'!

"In addition, our Nighthawks were indeed negligent in their duties at the time...

"If the murderer cannot be caught as soon as possible, maybe the nobles who believe in the goddess will be shaken." Captain Sost paused here, as if he had received some news, then he looked around again and said, "The latest According to the intelligence, someone found the murderer on the train bound for Constantinople, we will take the airship and set off immediately to intercept him!"

"Captain, that 'Black Blade' probably got off the bus on the way..." "Red Glove" Bob, who had a sharp chin, frowned and shook his head.

Sost waved his hand and said: "The Archbishop has notified Nighthawks everywhere to cooperate with us... and to capture him at any cost is the order just issued by the Holy Church. Even if he escapes back to Fusac, as long as he does not enter the Twilight Giant Palace', can't give up!

"do you understand?"

"Yes, Captain!" All the "Red Gloves" responded in unison with awe in their hearts.

"Very good, I will give you half an hour to prepare now... In half an hour, we will gather at the airship base in the western suburbs on time.

"By the way, the information on the table is about the 'Black Blade'. Each of you can take a copy and take a look at it on the way." After Sost finished speaking, he lunched and walked out first.

Seeing this, Leonard picked up a piece of information and flipped through it casually.

But the female team member beside him, Cindy with long burgundy hair, took the information and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Let us work hard to avenge a scumbag. It is really uncomfortable to think about it!"

"Count Gross is a devout believer in the goddess, and what he did before was also tacitly approved, wasn't it?" Bob on the side said a few words of comfort to his companion.

"If he is a devout believer of the goddess, he would not do such perverted things! I think his piety is only reflected in his diligence in donating money, right?" Cindy sneered at this. She was born as a commoner and could not stand the nobles.

Leonard ignored the complaints of his colleagues. He briefly looked through the information of the "Black Blade" and found that the other party had appeared in the spy case involving the "Difference Engine Manuscript". It was his inaction. , only to let his detective Zerrell die.

This person may not be very loyal to the God of War or Fusac, so why would he take the initiative to provoke the Church of the Night?

In addition, a "seal" extraordinary item that was once recovered by "MI9" was stolen again before the assassination... That item seemed to be made of the extraordinary characteristics of the "Night Watch"... The reason why the murderer was able To use a powerful "nightmare" ability, it seems that it relies on this item?

What do the Loen royal family do for food? How could such important sealed objects be stolen continuously?

Huh? Wait, that "seal" sealed item was stolen for the first time by "Ince Zangwill"? !

Is the person in charge...Hugh Dilcha...Miss "Judgment"?

Well, maybe I should ask Mr. Fool...

In addition, I can't get the witch-like item that Mr. "Tower" promised to build tonight or tomorrow morning... After all, I will be taking action with the captain in half an hour. I may still be able to do it by praying to Mr. "Fool" , but it is impossible to hide the ceremony of praying for blessings from colleagues.

Sighing, Leonard made an excuse and went to the bathroom first, then clasped his hands and prayed:

"You are a fool who does not belong to this era..."

…

160 Burklund Street.

Klein had just finished dinner, returned to the semi-open room with a large balcony, and sat on the easy chair when he heard the voice of prayer. He frowned, but he immediately came above the gray fog.

"A sudden assassination incident... Loen's official items were stolen again...

"Unknown intelligence source...

"Isn't this the Loen royal family deliberately diverting the attention of the Church of the Night in order to cause trouble?"

…

Early on Tuesday morning, after putting away all Russell's diaries and bidding farewell to Bernadette contentedly, Abner "teleported" directly to his own steam workshop in the North District.
