Chapter 272 The Dead Have No Value

"So they took those children away for the purpose of blood sacrifice?"

Eros' tone was a little surprised. Logically speaking, shouldn't this kind of action be carried out in secret?

They did it in such a high-profile manner because they were afraid that the church wouldn't notice it, right?

After hearing Eros' question, Peter and David looked at each other, and both of them were puzzled.

After a long while, Peter shook his head and said:

"I can't be sure if their purpose is really to hold a blood sacrifice."

"Their actions this time are too eye-catching. Unlike the last time when they secretly accumulated and carried out the actions, this time they just deliberately put this matter in front of us."

"This is too deliberate. I have reason to suspect that they want to cover up the crazier and more dangerous plan in secret through this superficial action."

At this point, Peter's eyes showed a trace of regret:

"It's a pity that the members of the Scarlet Cult were not caught, otherwise, maybe some clues could be obtained from them."

"In this way, we won't be so clueless now."

Eros shook his head and said calmly: "Those cultists who came out to snatch children are just the bottom of the Scarlet Cult."

"They just followed orders and acted. They may not even know more about what they are doing than us."

Eros personally verified this last night, and the result was that he didn't know anything.

Those guys only knew that they were ordered by the top to collect underage children and then hand them over to their captain.

It's a pity that none of the so-called captains were among the ten people last night, otherwise there might be some gains.

Peter smiled bitterly after listening to this. He knew that Eros was right. Those low-level cultists might not know more than them.

With a sigh, Peter cursed: "These damn things, sooner or later, they will all be found out."

Just then, the door of the office was pushed open and Vivian walked in from outside.

Seeing Vivian come in, Peter temporarily suppressed his annoyance and asked:

"Vivian, have you found out what's going on in the cemetery?"

Vivian sat down on an office chair on the side and said weakly:

"Someone is waking up the corpses over there and trying to transform them into ghouls."

"Have you found out who did it?" Peter asked with a frown.

Vivian shook her head, still looking half dead:

"When I went there, it was already over. I only found out what happened there by checking the traces left at the scene."

Hearing this, Peter looked at Vivian with some surprise:

"Seeing you look so tired, I thought you had fought with them!"

"Don't mention it. When I wanted to take a carriage back this morning, I found that the money I brought with me was missing."

"Then I ran back for more than 100 kilometers!"

Vivian leaned back on the back of the chair, looking like she had lost all hope in life.

Peter: "..."

David: "..."

It's impossible for money to disappear for no reason, especially for a powerful combat nun like Vivian.

If it was a normal accident, Vivian would definitely react at the first time, but she didn't this time...

Then there is only one possibility, the curse of losing love forever on her body.

Thinking of this, Peter and David stopped talking. They were afraid that they would irritate Vivian as soon as they spoke.

So the office fell silent, Peter and David lowered their heads, wondering what they were thinking.

Vivian slumped in her office chair, her head tilted back, her beautiful eyes staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.

Eros cast his gaze out the window, thinking in his mind, should he go to 706 Anster Street in the morning or in the afternoon?

Before he could come up with an answer, the office door was pushed open again, this time it was Captain Red who came in, and Daisy followed behind him.

Captain Red looked a little serious at the moment. As soon as he came in, he looked around at everyone and said in a dull voice:

"Did everyone find any clues yesterday?"

Peter and David shook their heads to indicate that they did not. Vivian, who was sitting in the office chair, forced herself to be alert and said:

"Many tombs in the Elson Cemetery are severely damaged. Someone is holding a ceremony there to awaken the corpses and transform them into ghouls."

"I counted them. There are a total of 6 coffins that are empty and have nothing in them. That means there are at least six ghouls wandering around in Haidaram now."

Captain Red nodded after listening and said in a steady tone:

"I know. I will inform the night watch teams in other areas of Haidaram of this news and remind them to pay attention."

Seeing that Captain Red had said this, Vivian responded lightly and continued to slump in the chair. Captain Red was obviously used to it.

At this time, Captain Red turned his head to look at Eros, and said with a smile on his face:

"Did Conan find anything yesterday?"

Eros thought for a moment and said: "Yesterday, two blood servants of the Scarlet Cult broke into my yard, but because I was not there at the time, they were killed directly by my maid Evelyn, so no one was left alive."

"What?"

Peter and David were shocked. They had been hanging out outside for a whole day yesterday, but they didn't find any members of the Scarlet Cult.

So now you say that two members of the Scarlet Cult took the initiative to run to your house yesterday?

Captain Red was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and asked:

"No one was injured?"

Eros shook his head: "They were just a little frightened, not injured."

"What did they break into your house for?" David looked at Eros with a puzzled expression.

Eros smiled bitterly and said: "Isn't Tracy's body unable to grow up because of the pollution?"

"Maybe because of this reason, the two blood servants mistakenly thought that Tracy was just a child, so they were ready to break into the yard to rob her."

Thinking of the delicate and well-behaved little girl, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

After a few seconds of silence, Captain Red took the initiative to break the silence:

"I will help you report this matter. Your maid killed two cultists, which is also your merit."

Eros showed a perfect joy on his face: "Thank you, Captain!"

Captain Red waved his hand to indicate that you are welcome, and then he looked around at everyone again and made arrangements:

"Then let's continue to disperse the investigation and focus on those families with children at home."

"If you don't know who has children in your jurisdiction, you can go to the police to ask for a regional household registration file. I have arranged it for you."

"Also, if you really find any clues at that time, you must not act rashly, and don't act alone. Pass the news to the church as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded in response, and seeing this, Captain Red walked out of the office door.

"Then let's continue to go out and investigate!" Peter said with a long breath.

As he said, Peter also walked out of the office door.

Looking at his teammates leaving one after another, Eros's mouth curled slightly, and it was time for him to act.
