Chapter 16 Time

A massacre occurred in the police station of Yachao Town. More than a dozen police officers were killed overnight, and even the police station was blown up.

According to Faust's idea, this will definitely cause an explosive reaction in the press.

But the fact is that when dawn came the next day, Yachao Town was still in a peaceful and quiet state, as if nothing had happened last night.

The newspaper boy who was selling news sold newspapers from door to door. After disguised, Faust bought a local newspaper for the price of Sanfini:

"Nothing big today?"

Even if the police explosion happened late last night, the newspaper may not have responded so quickly. However, the murder of the landlord did not appear in the local newspaper.

This confused Faust.

Jiabao put on the Imperial Army's wild gray uniform again. She tidied up the tie on her chest, shook it twice, and then wore a gilded brass pointed helmet with her index finger and thumb.

The Army's pointed helmet is decorated with different accessories made of leather, brass, silver and gray metal.

The outside was painted with black paint to make it look shiny and shining. The front of the helmet was covered with a large gilded brass helmet plate. Some of the patterns on it were lions and some of the eagles, symbolizing different states, arms and departments within the empire.

Jiabao's helmet is a double-headed eagle with an iron cross emblem, symbolizing the army and defense bureau.

"Mr. Faust, something seems to be wrong."

Faust shook the newspaper in his hand:

"Nothing big is happening today? Even though the police station incident last night, it was not time to go to the news, the murder of landlord Miss Maguire should have appeared in the news."

Faust suspected that the murder was too deep, so some senior forces managed to ban media coverage.

Jiabao picked up the newspaper:

The newspaper's head reads the date of May 7, and the front page news is just about the import of whale oil. The remaining news includes some obituaries, stock news, missing person notices, and no important information.

Jiabao read out the title of each news one by one:

"The trade war escalates, and the Allies stop exporting whale oil to our country..."

"Mr. Boccaccio, Chairman of Yuanhang Group, died of illness..."

"Accidents occur frequently, General Gas Lamp Company's stock price fell again..."

"Look for Mr. Werner, please contact someone info..."

Jiabao's voice was very clear, much better than the little maid of Faust's family, Lilulu, and listening to her reading the newspaper was a pleasure.

This reminded Faust of the memories of listening to Lilulu's newspaper reading - the little maid always reads the newspaper in a constant tone, without any emotional ups and downs, and it sounds no different from a human-shaped phonograph.

But after all, the news in the newspaper has no useful news.

The murder of the landlord Miss Maguire and the tragedy of the massacre of the police station in the Crow Cun Town, the local newspaper did not mention it at all!

It's like this has never happened...

"Secretary Lieutenant, how powerful is the Black Mass Order? Even the big news that the police station was massacred, can it suppress it?"

Jiabao was a little disbelief. She looked at the newspaper she had copied today several times and could only whisper:

"This, this... After all, it happened late last night. Although it was big news, it might not be published in the newspaper so soon..."

Faust looked cold: "The murder of Miss Maguire yesterday morning was not on the news either."

"A murder case is not that easy to get into the news." Jiabao clapped his hands, "Hey! Why do we say this? Go directly to the police in the autonomous prefecture, contact the military and the Defense and Suppression Bureau. Please rest assured Mr. Faust! After all, I am an operator of the Defense and Suppression Bureau. I will definitely cleanse you up and catch the real murderer."

"It's an internship operator."

"...that's also an operator!"

Garbo was indignant, and Faust took the newspaper and read it again. He always felt that there were some subtle discords in the matter, but there were still several ways to understand that he could not determine what the truth was.

Cultists... Evil Gods worship... Criminal murder... Theseusians... Police Department tragedy...

How long did Faust go to Crown Nest?

So many things happened!

The information was too explosive, which made him confused for a while and always felt that he had missed some clues.

Faust closed his eyes, and the "moth" he saw in the battle last night once again appeared in his mind, as if a nightmare, the moth's compound eyes emitted a faint phosphorescence, and a cool touch rushed into Faust's forehead, instantly calming him down.

"Then let it be. The second lieutenant will contact the police and the military. I will conduct a private investigation. We will act separately and will not waste time or cause other misunderstandings."

Garbo stared at Faust vigilantly: "Will you take the opportunity to run away?"

Faust smiled and said, "If you want to run, I ran away when I tied you last night. I still want to clear the charges. Will the lieutenant cooperate with me?"

"Um..." said Garbo hesitantly, "I'm just worried that you are alone. If you are alone, it would be too unsafe if you are attacked by the Black Mass Order again."

"The main problem is," Faust said, "although my extraordinary ability is disguise, and I can hide my identity well. I am still a murder suspect after all, and it is too inconvenient to go directly to the police and the military."

Faust himself had too many secrets, so he certainly did not want to have direct contact with the police and the military rashly. Moreover, Jiabao was an operator of the extraordinary investigation department like the Defense Suppression Bureau, so Faust was even more unwilling to have direct contact with the Defense Suppression Bureau.

If there is a powerful person on the other side and you can see the secrets in Faust at once, it will be very bad.

After all, Faust still doesn't trust Gabbau very much.

As for personal safety issues, Faust doesn't have to worry about personal safety issues as long as he leaves the police station and returns to the little maid Lilulu.

Judging from the battle situation last night, Faust and Garbo's combat power are not much different, so Faust estimates that Garbo is only a T9 position.

The attacker of the Black Mass Order may be more powerful, but he did not have a suppressive combat advantage over Faust and Garbo, and his position was probably not higher than t8.

The little maid Lilulu is the escort of the Faust consortium. Before the housekeeper left, she said that she could protect Faust from other people's violence and her combat effectiveness was definitely more reliable than Garbo.

Moreover, Lilulu's body has also undergone mechanical prosthetic transformation and belongs to Theseusians.

This is an illegal act within the empire, so it is even more inconvenient for Faust to expose his identity to the government.

As for whether Garbaugh can keep Faust's secret...

Seeing Faust's eyes, Garbo immediately raised his hand and sweared: "I will never tell others about your affairs..."

Faust smiled calmly: "I will wait for you at No. 221 Yanan Street."

He waved his hand and said goodbye, "I've been waiting for you."

"Si Chen is an extraordinary god living in the lodge, and each one holds one hour of the day."

Pagan myths are always so absurd, and for scientific research, it is illogical. How should cultists explain: There are only twenty-four hours a day, but there are thirty gods?
