Chapter 602 Clueless
Chapter 602 Clueless
"What's going on Baofeng? Do you think these people are all crazy?" …
Within the police station, several officers couldn't help asking themselves this question when going over the numerous reports they've gotten about a castle-like building seated in a jagged hill. The castle is now resident to the D'jaggers, a wealthy family from overseas that perched in the east for hundreds and thousands of years. One of the officers ran his hands on his hair helplessly when thinking of all the paperwork before him. "Hey… something's definitely not right about this place, but after doing over 11 searches, we still can't find a single thing to pin these foreigners down!"
In a flash, their lead inspector entered the room, already at his wits end when lashing out at them. "Dead end this, and dead end that! What the hell are you doing with taxpayers money if you can't freaking find a single clue?" Dammit! He slammed his hand on the table, yelling so loud sprays of saliva now engulfed the person closest to him. "We are the city's finest! The good guys! The ones to save the day for the civilians who make reports!" "Now, I don't need to tell you that there have been over 79 cases of missing persons, all reported to have association with that castle. In other words, they've been seen going on or leaving the castle at some point. In other times, they've run around the castle and even been noted to have broken into the castle occasionally. But… till now, we can't find a body or any evidence!" Adrenaline pumped into the bloodstream of many when listening to their Captain.
Some lowered their gazes, feeling worthless, while others clenched their fists, swearing to take down those D'jaggers… especially the one who calls himself Earl Winston D'jagger. That rat bastard was too sneaky and sly whenever they questioned him. It was almost as though he was saying: Yes, I did it, but do you have any proof? No? Then bite me!
Son of b**ch! Everyone knew he and his bastard family did it. But in a society ruled by rules and the need for evidence, taking down such a powerful family with just witnesses eye sayers from others was a mere dream. They needed stone cold facts, one that was irrefutable in court. But what to do? They've swept that castle publicly and secretly before, but found nothing!
.
"Alright everyone, the bureau has had enough of waiting, since many of our operations have cost millions." Do you think it's easy to surveillance and sweep that enormous castle grounds without high-end technologies and personnel? And after all that, you then report that you don't even have a single clue? No evidence or true starting point to lead your investigations by and you expect them to keep finding your attempts? Heh. The police Captain was also helpless. But what can he do? "Alright, alright… enough sulking. You all knew this day would come, didn't you?... That being said, although we're no longer leading the case, we can still be a part of it. But we will have to work with our new partners from the SN department!" Instantly, several people looked left and right, wondering what it was like to be working with this mysterious department. It's been close to a year since this department was formed, and their seats for how many crimes they solved and all other matters concerning them are all archived. In fact, even the cases they've partnered up with people to solve, the public and even several other police officers, don't know the SN department was involved in the case. Likewise, their Captain told them just now that no one is to ever know that they're going to be partnering up with the SN department. So even if the case gets solved in the end, the public and other police officers would only think it was them who did it after catching a lucky break. In short, when you think of it, it all seemed incredulous, to have people constantly working in the shadows. Everyone thinned their lips, wondering more and more about the people from the mysterious SN department they would be partnering up with. As far as they know, they've never seen a single person from the SN department before. At this rate, do these people even clock in for work? Or where they like undercover cops who are never required to come into the station for fear of blowing their cover? .
"Well, what are you looking at me for, you daisies? Get a move on it now!" Right! It was 9 PM now. That's right, the meeting was purposefully held at night. Several people followed their Captain and entered a police van that led them straight to the castle. Well, they dropped off a distance away from the castle, within the small, park-size surrounding woods. Apparently, they were to meet with these people here. It was always odd that no matter the time of day, this place seemed to be covered with mist. No matter how many times they've been here, this place truly gave them the spooks!
Ahhh!
The bushes in the distance began to shake, causing many to hold their chests with worry. Who goes there? Rustle, rustle, rustle~
Everyone stared attentively, with one hand already on their daggers. It was incredible that their funds were confiscated before they left the station. It was a boy… a stunning and happy-looking boy in a sleek navy black school-like attire. And the moment he appeared, several others appeared from the shadows, catching them all off guard. "Who are–"
"Seniors!" The police Captain quickly saluted, before the other officers could complete their sentences. The other officers were stunned, looking at the male and female models before them in confusion. These pretty boys and pretty girls were the people from the SN department?
Wrong script! They felt they were now holding the wrong script. Or else where did the burly and string assassins in their imaginations go?
