The next few people exchanged some information with each other and gradually pieced together the specific sequence of what happened tonight.
Shade knows the time when the war between Chengdong and [Light Worshipers Training Association] begins;
Although Herr Bernhard had been staying at a hotel in the city, he had saved a dock porter who was working at night on his way here, so he knew very well the time of the accident at the dock;
John Flynn and his party met with black market intelligence agents on a boat on the Tatton River tonight. They saw the skyfire falling towards the north of the city and knew the situation when the fire appeared;
As for the coroner, he had been working here just now and didn't go out until he heard the cry outside. By then, the bat swarm had begun to attack the lower town.
John Flynn and his party do not yet know the specific details of the Battle of the Pier, so they will not discuss whether the "Godcaller" has mastered the method of pulling out the "Sword of Light". After all, no matter who was present at the time,
, the scene where the "Moonlight Dragon" summons the moonlight sword is too similar to the scene on Belindle's Big Ben last week.
The four of them did not stay here for too long. After discussing with Mr. Albert that they could come to him in the future, they left in a hurry. What they had planned to do tonight was obviously not just to trade information on the black market.
After these strangers left, Shade asked the two vampires in the autopsy room that suddenly became quiet:
"Do you really know nothing about what happened tonight?"
They were not angry because of Shade's inquiry, but said together:
"I didn't get any news in advance, but judging from the performance of those dragon-born vampires and the strength of the manipulated giant bats and vampire beasts, there are quite a few local people who are cooperating with those cultists, and they are not very weak.
"
Shade nodded:
"This is really troublesome. How's the trial of Baron Chandler going?"
Baron Chandler was finally confirmed by Mr. Bernhardt as the person who provided blood to the [Dragon Feast Order]. The day after the banquet at Margaret Manor, this fat "vampire" was killed by Mr. Bernhardt.
He was taken away by someone.
Mr. Bernhard hesitated to speak. Seeing him looking at the elf girl behind him, Shade said belatedly:
"It doesn't matter, little Amy can be trusted."
"I think Armand was afraid of scaring her, rather than distrusting her. Our interrogation methods were a bit excessive."
The coroner explained calmly, and the elf girl who had just been called by Shade's nickname immediately spoke:
"I'm not afraid!"
After she finished speaking, she immediately shrank back behind Shade. For some reason, she seemed a little afraid of the coroner in a burqa. Shade attributed this to the other person's profession.
"Little Amy, please wait for me outside with our horses. Don't go in."
Although Emilia said this, Shade still did not let her continue to follow, and the elf girl herself breathed a sigh of relief:
"I'm really not afraid. Okay, we'll wait for you here."
"Well, Mr. Watson, come with us."
Mr. Albert led the way, leading Schaade and Mr. Bernhardt toward the depths of the autopsy room.
There is also a door on the inner wall. After going down the steps, there is an even colder room. This is the morgue of the autopsy room.
Three of the four walls were filled with iron cabinets, and Shade could imagine what was inside.
"Most of the unknown corpses in Lower City, especially those fished out from the Taton River, are difficult to find their families, so most of them are stored here."
The coroner said calmly.
"So those nameless corpses are kept here forever?"
"No, they will be cremated regularly, and then the church will bury them in a specific area of the city cemetery. Over here."
He kicked the ground with his foot, and the illusion was lifted, and a trap door appeared at the corner of the iron cabinet in the corner.
The three of them followed the ladder to the lower part, which was part of the abandoned sewer that was blocked at both ends. A door was opened from above to enter again.
Mr. Bernhardt snapped his fingers, and the flying light ball illuminated the secret room filled with the smell of blood.
The area of the secret room is not particularly large. There are black bloodstains everywhere on the ground. In the deepest part stands a cross-shaped stone coffin. Blood and weak wailing sounds are constantly coming from it. There is also a small table next to the coffin.
, on the table were some cruel instruments of torture that Shade could and could not imagine.
The wailing sound and the weird atmosphere were both very uncomfortable. No wonder Mr. Bernhardt was afraid of scaring Emilia.
"Is Baron Chandler here?"
Shade pointed to the coffin, and the coroner nodded:
"His mouth is stricter than we thought, so I adopted some drastic measures. You don't have to worry about him. After this incident is over, Armand will contact the Order and send him to the blood cave of the Holy Mountain to be imprisoned.
.”
Shade was not worried about this baron, and the knowledge he had about vampires told him that these advanced vampires, that is, vampires with noble enough blood, would not kill their own kind at will. When they encounter a fellow racer who has really done something wrong,
It will only imprison him.
As for the "Holy Mountain" and "Blood Cave", these are probably the secrets of the [Vampire Order], and Shade will not inquire about them at will.
"What did he say?"
"He did provide the blood, but he was also controlled by others."
Mr. Bernhardt sighed:
"The control of a certain addictive drug, and the other party can bring convenience to his business. He doesn't know who his superior is, but he is very sure that there is a secret group among the local tribe that cooperates with the [Dragon Feast Order]
, he is just a discarded son that they threw out to confuse the church.”
"As a result, you and Armand investigated too quickly, and he was left to you instead."
The coroner added, walking to the wall and using a crowbar to pry open the upright coffin. Mr. Schade and Mr. Bernhard both covered their noses and took two steps back.
Shade was not very willing to describe what was inside the coffin at this time. In fact, it was not a coffin. He was simply sandwiched between two large rocks with shallow dents.
But it was obvious that the bloody thing was not dead. The vitality of advanced vampires was very strong. He even tried to spray blood on the three people after the sarcophagus was opened, but the blood that formed the shape of spikes was stuck on the wrist.
The gauntleted coroner then dispersed.
"We tried to get more information from him, but without success, what happened tonight. He has a tough mouth, and he knows less than imagined."
Mr. Bernhard covered his nose and explained, and he and Shade moved a little closer:
"If tonight's inference is correct, then the cooperation between Yuewan's compatriots and those dragon-eating cultists will definitely not be a matter of a year or two."
So, together with the coroner, he explained to Baron Chandler what happened tonight in a few words. Although the original fat baron was no longer human at this time, Shade could still see that he was shivering and he was very scared.
But even so, he still didn't reveal any valuable information.
Shade thought for a while, and then pulled out a book from the starry sky-colored bookshelf next to him, showing the appearance of the cultists who appeared in the defective memory after Sirius restored his memory, and asked Baron Chandler to identify them respectively.
.
Shade couldn't even find where his eyes and mouth were, but he still finished the job tenaciously.
He provided four names that were unknown based on the photos, and when Mr. Bernhardt repeatedly asked him if he knew the situation in the laboratory that created the most intelligent vampire monster to date, Baron Chandler spoke only
Finally, he revealed an important piece of information that he himself was unaware of.
His voice was hoarse, as if there were blood bubbles in his throat:
"I, I have never been to the laboratory you mentioned. I only know that most of the laboratories of the [Dragon Feast Order] are in the New World, not here. I have not seen many of their people. In fact, this year
Before, their manpower in Yuewan was always small, and most of them only communicated with each other or exchanged information and supplies."
"Supplies?"
The coroner frowned:
"What material, your blood?"
"They have a large experimental site in the New World, but some precious potion materials are species unique to the Old World. Moreover, the [Dragon Feast Order] is also a large-scale organization. In addition to using Yuewan Port for personnel exchanges,
, they also need to use Yuewan’s banking system for fund transfers.”
Listening to what the mass of flesh and blood said, Xia De suddenly asked:
"Do they have an account at Yuewan?"
"Yes. But I don't know which bank their accounts are in and who holds them on their behalf."
"So, do you know the date on which they conducted bulk cargo transactions in Yuewan in the past two years?"
"I"
He obviously realized something, but he only paused for a moment before the coroner violently crushed his flesh and blood with his gloved fingers.
So in the wailing sound, they got the answer:
"Remember, remember, I can tell you if you need it. But don't torture me. I'm not a core figure at all. I really only know this."
So the coroner went to record this new information, and Mr. Bernhardt asked Schad:
"There must be large amounts of funds flowing before and after large-scale cargo transactions. You want to go to the major banks in Yuewan City based on the period of those cargo transactions, look for accounts with similar transaction records, and then find the holder of the account.
By?"
"Yes, I have understood something since the beginning of my contact with the Ring Warlock. Even a transcendent organization needs professional accounting, clear accounts and a large amount of funds.
It doesn't matter if we can't find the Dragon Feast Order. Finding the flow of funds is equivalent to finding them. Even if those accounts have been abandoned, as long as there are transactions and incoming and outgoing records, we can find other people who cooperate with them in Yuewan City
, there may be some of your kind among them.”
Mr. Bernhardt frowned slightly:
"The idea is good. Fund transactions near Yuewan Port can only be done in banks in Yuewan City. This is a means for the seven major families to protect the local financial industry, and it is also an important reason for Yuewan's long-term prosperity.
But the problem is that those accounts are not easy to find. Although I don’t believe that bankers can keep the secrets of their customers, there is more than one bank in Yuewan, and seven major families are involved in this kind of investigation.
In a lifeline industry, even if you have connections, it is not easy to investigate."
"I have other relationships, so professional matters must be handled by professionals. Leave this matter to me."
Shade said calmly, he was naturally referring to Gray Gloves and MI6.
