Chapter 147 Target
"Here's the director?"
Inside the luxury guest room, after hearing Oswan's words, Godfrey, who was sitting in a chair, thought for a while and then answered.
"Maybe... When I was playing with those black dogs, there was indeed some other extraordinary person involved. I might have been found out by him, and after my position was exposed, I was bitten by the black dogs." Godfrey said gritting his teeth, then he took a bottle of wine from the cabinet next to him, took a sip, and continued speaking.
"That might be a 'cup'... that can control meat puppets, but I don't know what rank it is, but it should be at least black rank." Godfrey said this. Although he had never seen the extraordinary person hidden in the "cup", he believed that since the other party could cause him, a black rank person, to suffer such a great loss, he must be at least black rank.
"'Cup'... The director of 'Cup' is not common among the Black Dogs. Their mainstream should be 'Shadow'... But you have been fighting with them for so long, hasn't the ability of 'Stone' been involved? According to previous speculation, the person behind that kid may be our target..." Listening to Godfrey's words, Oswan frowned and continued to speak thoughtfully.
"There is no 'Shi'. From beginning to end, I have never seen any other 'Shi' involved except me. This is either because the old guy is too patient and will not take action until the little ghost is truly threatened, or he has nothing to do with the little ghost and our speculation is wrong!"
Godfrey said without getting angry that for him, the fact that he was injured in the counterattack by the hunters during this operation was secondary. The key point was that his goal was not achieved.
Capture Anna, check if there are any signs of being treated by the "Stone", and then use Anna as a clue to find the healer. Or in the process of threatening Anna, draw out the possible "Stone" behind the scenes to confirm the existence of the other party. This is Godfrey's main purpose, but in the end, he failed to achieve it, that is, he did not capture Anna, nor did he draw out the involvement of the "Stone", so he is now very angry.
Seeing his companions hit a wall in the direction of their investigation, although Oswan did not say anything, he was laughing in his heart.
"When investigating, it's inevitable to encounter obstacles. It looks like things aren't going well on your end, so would you like to listen to my opinion?" Oswan found a chair to sit down and said to his companion. They both had their own investigative directions, and they were all conducted by colleagues.
"Any progress on your side?" Godfrey said unexpectedly after hearing Oswan's words, and Oswan smiled and nodded.
"Well, I tried to use some less extraordinary methods to investigate, and I actually found some clues."

“You can take a look at this.”
Godfrey took the document and read it carefully. He found that it was actually several orders. After taking a closer look, Godfrey found that these were all orders for stone.
"Stone order? Where did you get it? What are you going to use it for?" Looking at the stone order in his hand, Godfrey asked with some confusion, and Oswan began to explain.
"These orders were all found by the stone factories in this city. They are responsible for cutting the stones collected from the mountains into stones of different specifications, and then supplying them to places in the city in need." As he spoke, Oswan lit a cigar, took two puffs of it, inhaled and exhaled two puffs of smoke, and then continued speaking.
"According to Mr. Lu Ku, the target we are looking for follows the path of 'spiritual sculpture', which means he must need a large number of stone statues to carve. Carving stone statues requires stones that meet the specifications. Therefore, he is likely to need to purchase a large number of stones for carving from the stone factory."
Oswan finished speaking slowly, then shook the cigarette butt into the ashtray beside him. Listening to Oswan's words, Godfrey was slightly stunned, then he spoke in sudden realization.
"Yeah... As long as we check where the stones from the stone factory go, remove those used for construction projects, and find those used for carving, we can roughly determine where that guy is."
"Yes, I have visited the stone factory here and looked through most of the order records there. I have screened out all the purchasers who were not for engineering purposes. They... should have bought it for carving. The orders are in your hands now."
Oswan continued to talk while smoking. Listening to Oswan's words, Godfrey began to look through the orders in his hand one by one. He found that the buyers were all stone carving factories and stele engraving factories, and these orders had been marked with a red pen. Looking at these marks on the paper in his hand, Godfrey asked
"You marked them? Have you verified these places?"
"Yes, there's nothing special, so I forgot everything except this place." As he spoke, Oswan took out an order from his pocket and handed it to Godfrey. After reading the order, Godfrey spoke in surprise.
"St. Amanda's?"
"Haha... a middle school actually has such a huge demand for stone, and they are all high-grade stones. This is surprising, right? It's different from other places." Looking at Godfrey's surprised expression, Oswan said with a smile, and Godfrey looked up at him seriously and spoke.
"Do you think that Lu Kuxian's great enemy is hiding in this school?"
"The probability is very high. I think... we can first report the situation to Mr. Lu Ku and let him make preparations." Taking a deep puff of the cigar in his hand, Oswan said with a smile while puffing out the smoke.
…
Outside the high-end hotel, on a nearby street, beside the dark road, a black carriage was parked.
Sitting on the seat in the carriage, Dorothy slowly opened her eyes with a look of slight surprise. She heard surprising information from the small corpse doll that sneaked into the guest room from afar.
"I didn't expect... these guys' target wasn't Anna."
With a look of surprise, Dorothy thought unexpectedly that she had originally wondered why there would be extraordinary people targeting Anna, but now it seemed that attacking Anna was a result of misjudgment, and their target was someone else.
And with this new information, Dorothy knew exactly who that target was.
"It seems that the beloved principal has run into trouble..."
