Chapter 399: Videotape (Please Subscribe, Recommend, and Vote) Please Recommend!!!
Kay didn't know exactly what Matthew had experienced in his dream, but he could probably guess it. →He just guessed it, but he didn’t know how to comfort her. In this world, persuading people is actually the simplest thing. There is a saying that goes, "It doesn't hurt to stand and speak." But what is the use of such persuasion? Since you have never experienced the other person's experience, it is naturally impossible to empathize with them. Words are often powerless. Kai has understood this truth very early, so he will never persuade a person to "look at it", "it's all over", etc. Words, that's just nonsense.
So in the face of Matthew's emotional outburst, Kai just walked outside the door, lit a cigar, and smoked silently.
Bobby, also the man who's good at accidents, holds the door for Matthew and stays outside with Kay. Kai pulled out a cigar and handed it over. Bobby looked at it and shook his head.
"I don't smoke."
Kai didn't force it. The two stood in silence like this. After a few minutes, Bobby seemed not used to being silent with a stranger.
"Are you going to see Dean and Sam?"
"No, you are more experienced in this area, so I won't cause trouble." Kai exhaled a puff of smoke and shook his head. Men don't need to be so disgusting, just know that they are fine. "By the way, what did Matthew and Dean do to end up like this?"
"I don't know. I went to see a friend yesterday, but they weren't there when I came back." The friend Bobby mentioned was most likely a demon hunter.
Then the two of them chatted for a while. After all, the parties involved were lying like dead dogs. If you want to figure out the reason, you have to at least wait for them to wake up. After a while, there was a strange noise from the door behind them. The two hurriedly opened the door and found that Matthew himself had climbed out of the freezer.
Kai immediately went up to help Matthew. Matthew saw Kai's spot clearly and opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his eyes immediately rolled up and he fainted.
But fortunately, this time I was really dizzy, and it was not a symptom of poisoning. Besides, this thing has been frozen in the freezer for a long time. He can climb out on his own because he is in good health.
…
After all this tossing, the next day, the three of them finally woke up. The three of them were gathered around the fire, wrapped in blankets, as cold as quails. It's only September now, and it's the crisp autumn season in Chicago. Although the temperature is a bit low at night, it won't be like this. These are completely the sequelae of poisoning. They will be like this in the past few days. They are afraid of the cold, have poor immunity, etc. In short, they can only stay there.
"We went to Billy Lee Tuttle's house yesterday."
Matthew described what they did yesterday in a very nonchalant manner. After experiencing that dream, Matthew seemed to have changed a little bit, but Kai couldn't tell what had changed. He only felt that Matthew's whole body was like a newly sharpened blade, sharp and sharp.
"I have thought about sneaking into Billy Lee Tuttle's house before and wanted to get some clues from there, but the security around his house is very tight and I can't get close at all, so..."
So Matthew found Dean and Sam, and Matthew's request for help saved his life in disguise.
"Why didn't you come to me?" This was something that Kai found very strange. Logically speaking, Dean and the others had only known Matthew for a few days, so there was no reason why Matthew would trust them so easily. What's more, no matter how you look at it, Kai can fight better than the Wen brothers, right?
"You're a police officer," Matthew said.
"What?" Kai didn't understand.
"If I were caught, everything I did would be illegal. If you were involved, all our efforts would be in vain."
According to the law, evidence obtained illegally will be deemed invalid. And due to the jury system, once something goes wrong with the law enforcer himself, the evidence he experienced will also be questioned. The most typical example is that in the sensational Simpson's Wife Murder Case, the most suspicious figure for the defense camp was the prosecution's "star" witness, Officer Forman.
This police officer became a breakthrough point for the defense. The lawyers directly grabbed the police officer's sore feet and used the 'racial discrimination card' to make the police officer's character questionable, thus making the jury feel that the police officer's Testimonies and evidence that has been handled are not credible.
Believe it or not, in the American judicial system, although it is extremely controversial, the defense's "race card" strategy is indeed very effective and legal. Influenced by the tradition of "character evidence" in British common law, the evidence laws and jurisprudence of the US federal and California stipulates that if the character of a witness who appears in court is proven to be defective, then certain testimony presented by the witness in court will not have legal effect. Once Matthew is caught for illegal intrusion, all his suspicions and evidence against Billy Lee Tuttle and others will be considered invalid, and may even be labeled as "false accusations."
So in order to prevent this from happening, Matthew needs Kai to stay out of the matter, so that even if he is caught, the evidence in Kai's hands is still valid.
A very cautious strategy.
But Kai really wanted to tell him, what if he went along and got caught? It's simply impossible!
But things are already like this, and there is no point in saying more.
"Then why did you do this?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I was discovered." Dean said depressedly.
Then he took over the conversation and told the whole story.
Matthew has always wanted to investigate the 'King in Yellow' cult, but the problem is that this cult is very powerful in Illinois and has deep roots. It has been rooted in Illinois as early as the 1960s and has a wide network of connections.
If you investigate through formal channels, there is basically no hope. Matthew's previous experience is the best example. He was a rising star in the Chicago police, but he was disgraced because of this case and was almost kicked out of the police force.
Even though Kai later supported him and asked William to help, the investigation still progressed slowly. Every time it reached the most critical point, problems would arise. It was as if a big net silently trapped Matthew and William in it, making it impossible for them to break through.
So Matthew planned to take another approach and directly use abnormal means.
The less official personnel involved in this matter, the better. Now the brothers Dean and Sam have become the best helpers. Because of their identities as demon hunters, the brothers Dean and Sam are basically not found in official records. They have used too many identities over the years, and they are wanted. They are not worried about the debts, and they are very good at doing such illegal things.
In the beginning, everything went smoothly.
When it comes to the skill of picking locks, Matthew, an undercover policeman, is really not as good as the brothers Dean and Sam. These two are the legendary tough guys who can poke the whole community with a piece of instant noodles.
They easily entered Billy Lee Tuttle's house and quickly found a secret room. It's better to say it's a maze than a secret room. There is a huge underground space under the house. The layout inside is like a maze, and it is full of creepy and weird decorations.
In order to investigate Billy Lee Tuttle, Matthew did a lot of research. He even found the architectural sketch of Billy Lee Tuttle's house. As a result, he didn't know that there was a maze in this house.
This is the difference between professional and amateur.
The Wen brothers were so proficient in this unorthodox method because of the need to hunt demons that they could even guess where the owner's safe was by the layout of the house.
The secret room was under the basement and looked quite old. There, they found a lot of creepy things. Various weird human specimens, like some strange human museum, many strange human organs were soaked in glass jars filled with formalin.
In addition, the underground palace was full of many weird murals. Some of those murals were carved on stone slabs, some were oil paintings, and some were statues, but the themes were all about bloody massacres and sacrifices, which were extremely bloody and brutal.
It was also in these murals that Matthew found the mark of the Yellow King Kakosha.
It can be seen that the so-called belief in Kakosha has existed for a long time. The most exaggerated thing is that they also saw a stone slab mural from the Stone Age... It is not known whether this thing is true or not, but Dean and Sam saw something familiar.
They are demon hunters, and they know much more than ordinary people. There are many cults in this world, and a large part of them are cheating money and being partial to sex, but some are not. It’s not that they believe in the true God, but that they do have some skills and are not completely nonsense. This is especially true for cults that have been around for a long time.
Although they were surprised and doubtful, they still remembered their mission. They came to find evidence. Although they took photos at the scene to collect evidence, this thing is not counted. It can only show that the owner has a unique taste. In this regard, European and American society is still quite tolerant.
They need to find key evidence.
So after some exploration, they found a safe. The Wen brothers used their "skills" to open the safe again, but they were hit before they had time to check what was inside. If Sam hadn't reacted quickly and knew that it was the genie who did it, and killed a genie on the spot, they would have confessed on the spot.
It was just that Matthew was unlucky and reacted a step slower, so he was hit more deeply.
"What did you find?" Kai was quite curious about this.
...
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Kai pulled out his gun and shot the TV in front of him into pieces. The others in the room watched Kai's actions. Everyone seemed unusually silent. Sam sat on the sofa, covering his face and burying his head in his knees. Dean looked fine, but the next second, he rushed out, followed by a sound of vomiting.
Bobby's face was pale and his eyes were dull, as if he had been hit by something.
Rufus covered his eyes and took the whiskey and poured it into his mouth one mouthful after another.
Only Matthew was the calmest, but from his clenched fists, his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.
"Huff, huff, huff, huff..." After Kai emptied the bullets in his gun, he slowly calmed down and immediately rushed to the TV that was completely broken and snatched a somewhat old videotape from the VCR.
There were only a few words on the videotape: "Dedicated to Kakosha".
For a moment, no one wanted to speak.
There was no other reason, just being disgusted. The content of this videotape...how should I put it, it completely exceeds the limit of what a normal person can endure. It is no longer in the category of 18+ or not, this is really challenging the bottom line of humanity.
Judging from the condition of the picture in the videotape, this thing was filmed extremely long ago, at least several decades ago. The picture is very blurry and can only be barely discerned. This video tape should not be the original version, but a ripped one. Judging from the clear scratches on the screen, it should be shot on film.
The content of the picture is a group of people wearing white robes and animal masks, holding sacrifices.
Those men in white robes would capture women and children and drive them into the woods, and chase them on horseback. In the end, they felt that they were coming from the stone formation to kill and pay homage!
The even more unacceptable scene is that of a little girl in a white dress. She was crowned with flowers by a group of men, then photographed, molested, and finally brutally killed. This was accompanied by some extremely disgusting behaviors. The scene was so bloody. Definitely beyond the limits that ordinary people can imagine!
Kai didn't wait for the video tape to finish playing before he could no longer suppress his inner anger, pulled out a gun and blew up the TV.
He never thought that people could be so bottomless!
These things are more disgusting and cruel than demons!
More importantly, they did such a thing, but they were so cowardly that they only dared to target those women and children!
After almost twenty minutes of silence, the group of people gradually calmed down.
"I originally thought that only those monsters in this world would do such vicious behavior..." Dean said with a pale face. He only felt that his three views had been challenged. He had always thought that the enemies of mankind were those monsters, but now he felt that the behavior of those monsters killing humans was not so unacceptable.
After all, most monsters kill people for survival. They originally feed on humans. The attitudes of monsters and humans are naturally hostile. In this case, there is naturally nothing to say.
But the behavior of these people... they are more damnable than those monsters! Why can humans be so cruel and inhumane to humans?
Sam was always a college student, and a law student at that. He wanted something more.
"Can we take this videotape..."
Matthew interrupted him.
"It's useless...don't forget, we stole this videotape, and time has passed, and those people have plenty of ways to overthrow it!"
This is determined by law. If the source of evidence is illegal, the judge will directly rule that the evidence is invalid.
"Then...we have to do something, right?"
Sam shouted unwillingly.
