v1 Chapter 111: forge

"I was indeed responsible for that fire, but it was only one night. When we actually started to investigate, the special department of the government had already announced that it was a special event and took over the case from us."

According to government regulations, once a case is listed as a special case, they cannot participate unless the special department asks the police station to assist in handling the case, and all materials and personnel must be evacuated immediately.

A small grocery store fire was listed as a special case only the morning after it happened. This is an extremely rare situation, and there have not been many similar cases in the past few years.

"You have seen the scene, haven't you? I want to know what you saw at the time, and the suspicious points you noticed."

Sheriff Rhodes is in charge, and the handwritten report provided by Sirius to Donald proves that he has definitely entered the grocery store.

"Yes, the scene... There are indeed some phenomena that cannot be explained by common sense. There have been battles. I can be sure of this. The load-bearing column was broken and the counter of the grocery store was broken. This was not caused by flames. I even saw a part of the iron pillars that were fused at the scene. At that time, I concluded that the Grants are not ordinary people, and their first reaction was to find you as quickly as possible, but I was stopped halfway. I'm sorry. , I can't tell you who the other party is."

Sheriff Rhodes' statement was not much richer than what he had seen in the previous report. Seeing that Donald was still looking at him, he was obviously dissatisfied, frowning in thought.

"Sergeant Rhodes, the past is the past to you, but it is very important to me, just like this girl's disappearance, it means nothing to me, after all, I am not a girl, and there are only I'll be alone, but you should take it seriously, after all, you have Sirius, don't you? As I said before, Mr. Griffin was retaliated when he investigated the girl's disappearance."

For a tough guy who has faced various cases all the year round, his reputation and even his life can be put aside at some point.

But only in terms of family members, they often feel that they owe something. After all, Donald's words still poke into the weak underbelly of Sheriff Rhodes. Recently, the activities of the cult have become more and more rampant. Long, revenge, is not such a distant topic.

"At that time, after the special government department received the case, all the people in the police station who had been in contact with the case were given a gag order, and the impact of all aspects was suppressed to a minimum in the shortest possible time. Even the autopsy report was strictly ordered to change, and you , has not received any investigation, at least we have not received any order to investigate you."

The implication could not be more clear. The hidden things behind the fire in the grocery store alerted the top officials of the Justice Church. Otherwise, it would not be as efficient and to this extent.

You must know that the Justice Church has never been equal to the government. If they want to carry out activities in this area through the government level, they also need exchanges between high-level officials.

"It's not just the Justice Church that is involved in this case. I have received some news that the Grants are the targets that have long been targeted... not the Justice Church."

Hearing it from Infinita and Kann was the same thing, and now hearing it again from the sheriff, Donald is still a little stunned.

"Thank you for your notification. This is the information. I have read it in advance. There is a private clinic in it that needs attention."

Donald initially thought of starting with Sheriff Rhodes to investigate the situation of the estate, but it is not useful at present. In this conversation, he just wanted to verify some speculations in his heart.

There is only one possibility for an organization that can alert the senior officials of the Justice Church to take the initiative to suppress the matter, but does not participate in it. Other orthodox sects will intervene in this case.

Some people will say that it may be the government's request. In fact, although the government has its own special event handling department, it is limited to some special areas, such as areas under the complete control of the government.

Preston is the parish of the Justice Church. If the government wants to interfere in special cases, it has to ask the Justice Church in turn.

From this point of view, Infinita is indeed an orthodox sect. No matter what she does, at least she knows what to do, and the identity of Antoine and his son is still a problem.

Must find a chance to try.

Up to now, Donald's thinking has actually changed.

In exchange for a month ago, at this time, he might find Infinita with the things in his hand, and hand over all the inheritance in exchange for his own life.

Now it's different. Donald begins to think about how to get the best benefit while protecting himself. He no longer puts his hope in anyone, but in his own hands.

He has to let those people understand that they are not always in charge!

"Sir, do you need any help?"

There is a small private printing factory in Preston. Although the place is small, Donald asked several bookstores carefully, and they all said that they can customize some books for collection.

"I want to customize a book. It's about this size, and there are not many patterns on the surface, but you may have to choose some materials that are of good enough quality. What's the price on your side, and how long does it take?"

He gestured with both hands, yes, what Donald wants to customize is the Dark Book!

"For ordinary customization, you can generally refer to the collector's edition books on the market. We can make a sample for you first, and it will be shipped in about half a month. The cost depends on the quantity you make~lightnovelpub.net~ If it is only 1 book , we won't accept it, I'm sorry."

"I want you to use the best craftsmanship, the most sophisticated materials, the shape of the book, and some special symbols that will appear on the first page. You can estimate the price."

This is the key prop, Donald naturally won't save money here.

"This...the material must be antique, the cover must be dark, but not reflective, the hand feel is rough to a certain extent, but it won't feel sticky to the touch...I'm afraid the price is going to be... ... 5 gold pounds? It may take half a month in time."

The waiter looked at the detailed list and tentatively gave a price.

"Half a month? I know that you are the best in Preston City, so I will pay you three times as much, this is the deposit, you can shorten the time to three days for me, I only need one book, one copy, perfect!"

A bag of gold pounds smashed directly on the counter, and the person in charge of the printing factory behind the counter glared.

"Don't worry, if you can't get what you want in three days, I'll kneel down and lick your shoes for you!"

A book, earning a month's income, how could he refuse.

So when Donald walked out of the door of the printing house under the welcome of the person in charge, he heard a faint roar from behind.

"Big list."

"The ones with the best craftsmanship, come with me!"

"Make a list of the best materials in the factory!"

He adjusted his hat, put it on again, and walked out onto the street holding a Tibetan knife and cane.

He had to make a fake first, and then figure out how to finish it so that it looked more like the real thing.

But now there is a more serious problem.

There are nearly 100 gold pounds, how should I spend it?

Too much money is also a problem...
