Chapter 104
After a long day.
Newcastle City, shrouded in the shadow of evil, has finally returned to its former tranquility.
After midnight.
No one is sleeping.
The aftercare volunteers and government employees were busy all night in Foy Manor, silent.
The family members of the victims cried into tears. Under the comfort of the police, they left with sadness and reluctance.
Carl wrapped Vera in a blanket and held her in his arms and whispered comfort.
The eyes of the two men stayed on the black body bag not far away, and one of them had their familiar name written on the label: Hugo Horch.
Their hair is small.
Playmates who used to spend childhood in the same elementary school.
After the female reporter ate cold shoulder beside Cole, she still did not give up and found Hardy who helped Sean to rest in the mansion.
Have a conversation and get what she wants.
Before leaving the manor.
Amelia took a look at Cole from a distance, looked helpless, sighed, and walked away quickly with her bag on her back.
Into the night.
Newcastle City Municipal Building.
The phone number of the temporary acting mayor was almost blown up by the headquarters of the hunting group and the prime minister's office.
It's not dawn yet.
A reorganized Imperial Army battlement has already arrived in Newcastle overnight by train.
While controlling the local chaos.
Implementation of compulsory jurisdiction over Foyi Southern Steel Group.
Along with this army, there is also an investigation team dispatched by the headquarters of the Demon Hunting Group.
Four o'clock in the morning.
The Chief-In-Charge of the investigation team, one of the three permanent leaders of the executive team, the median massacre sequence, Maurice Berg, met with Cole in the conference hall on the third floor of the municipal building.
A man over half a hundred years old, bald, tall and thin, with a gloomy face.
Wearing a long black trench coat.
Sit on a chair with a cup of hot milk, and said to Cole sternly, "Mr. Cole Walker, our conversation will be recorded by a tape recorder later as a confession.
What am I asking, what are you answering, do you understand?"
Cole held a cigarette in his hand, frowned, and said indifferently, "Ask."
Seems to be arrogant towards him The pie has long heard of it. Morris was silent for a while and pressed the tape recorder and said, "After Hendrick's death, are you the only Chief-In-Charge on the scene?"
"Hendrick died Just before the completion of the seal."
"What's your explanation for the many casualties at the scene?"
"..."
A routine routine After the inquiry.
The hot milk in the cup is getting colder.
Morris turned off the tape recorder and said with a serious expression, "There are hundreds of lives involved in the Foy Steel Group. I hope you can understand my difficulties, Mr. Cole Walker."
Seeing each minding their own business smoking and always silent Cole.
Morris grudgingly smiled, pretending to be relaxed, "Please rest assured, the investigation team and the trial court will make the most fair sentence."
...
Noon the next day.
In the empire, and even neighboring countries.
The front page headlines of every newspaper are about the 100-year-old case of'Human Demon in the Mirror' in Newcastle City, an explosive news announcing that the case has made significant progress!
Two demon-hunters died.
Among them is Hugo Horch, the grandson of Horch Automotive Industry Helmsman.
Twenty-nine people are missing and 167 innocent citizens died.
The Mayor of Newcastle, the Commissioner of Police, two high level detectives, and 16 police officers died on the spot.
Except that.
The news about Luc Foy and Foy Southern Steel Group in a century-old unsolved case shows a polarizing attitude.
Unsurprisingly, the capital group under Luc's name has already begun to operate in the media industry.
That afternoon.
An exclusive headline published in the Great Empire Daily News has raised the news and attention of the'Newcastle City Centennial Case' to a whole new level.
'The man feared by Death God: Cole · Walker-the sacrifice of front-line demon-hunter and the incompetence of the bureaucrats of the Demon Hunter.
Exclusively written by Amelia Green. '
This news not only occupies the headline position of the front page, but also used a whole page to release the black and white photo taken by the female reporter at Foy Manor, which is called the best photography of the year.
The demon-hunter holds a knife in one hand and a gun in the other.
Blood all over.
The drop of blood slides down the tip of the knife.
At the moment the muzzle flame flickered, three twisted and weird evil creatures that drove the reader's SAN value madly stopped in the air that pounced on him.
If only these.
Maybe this news hasn't reached the explosive dissemination power it has now.
The most admired by critics is this photo, which perfectly shows the demon-hunter's calmness, ignorance of death, and fear of evil.
Its fearless.
Enough to inspire the courage of everyone who sees this photo.
Except that.
Because this is the second time that the people of the Empire have seen Cole Walker's name in the newspaper.
Like the fatalism that many people believe in, the prophesied Savior is inspiring in this dangerous world surrounded by darkness and evil.
The third page of the newspaper.
There is another shorter report with a photo of Cole sitting by the garden smoking.
'The loneliness of the demon-hunter on the front line-a tribute to those heroic warriors who sacrificed for the empire and the people.
Exclusively written by Amelia Green. '
...
In the evening.
Riding on the train returning to Imperial Capital.
Hardy is holding the newspaper, it seems that the horror experience in Newcastle City has not caused any psychological shadow on him, heartless said with a smile, "Boss, now you are a celebrity in the empire!
haha! I guess, even within the Demon Hunter group, you must be one of the few who made headlines twice in the newspaper...oh no! The demon-hunter who completed the feat of butchering!"
Sean smiled reluctantly.
It seems to be the repercussions, ashen-faced, left behind after the seal ceremony was in direct contact with the evil forces. The body was wrapped in a thick three-layer blanket, but still shivering in the cold.
"Captain Cole is better than many demon-hunters I've seen."
Carl sat on the other side and comforted the trance-stricken Vera, turning his head and looking towards Cole, taking a deep breath Take a bite and say, "Cole."
Gently rub the metal flip lighter, Cole indifferently said, "Say."
"I want to join Black Snake Battallion."
The voice fell.
Hardy and Sean looked at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Perhaps the Hyams family is not as well known as Horch Industries.
However, when it comes to Mengxi Empire Development Bank, no one may be unfamiliar.
The Hyams family, hereditary bankers.
Imperial Capital highest Master.
It is really surprising that such a stray pampered young master who will inherit hundreds of millions of fortunes suddenly asks to join the Investigation Division action team that dances with Death God every day.
"Uh... Carl, are you serious? Hugo's business..."
This young man who was always frivolous and kind-eyed when he went to Newcastle City, At this time, his eyes were gloomy and he was silent for a long time, and he did not answer Hardy's question.
Cole passed the cigarette case.
Carl took one out of it and held it in his mouth.
"Yes."
The first time I saw Cole agreeing to join the team so happily, Hardy opened his mouth to say something, and finally shrugged helplessly and turned to Karl said with a smile, "Welcome to Black Snake, Carl Heims."
