Chapter 70: Detective
In the bathroom, Brandon, who had drunk a whole cup of light red liquid, placed the cup on the sink, propped up his hand against the mirror, and began to breathe heavily. As the medicine he had taken gradually took effect, Brandon's breathing became slower and slower, and finally gradually returned to normal.
Slowly raising his head, Brandon looked at himself in the mirror. The distortion in his expression had disappeared, and everything became the same as before.
"Praise the Blood Cup..."
Muttering softly, Brandon stood in front of the sink and began to clean up the traces on the sink. After finishing, he wiped his wet cuffs, then took out the test tube containing the red powder and looked at it carefully.
On the test tube, there were subtle inscriptions of the inscription and the crescent moon. Although they were extremely faint, it was clear that the test tube possessed a certain secret effect from the "shadow".
"Huh... If the number of 'Huijian Lanterns' continues to increase like this, this thing will no longer be worth seeing. By then, we won't be able to get around it. Increasing the number of lanterns at such a great cost... James seems to have noticed something. I need to go back and report tonight..."
Thinking of this, Brandon took back the test tube containing the powdered medicine, then opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.
After that, it slowly returned to its work post. On the way, it deliberately took detours to places with bright lights. Not long after, Brandon returned to his seat.
'Now we just have to wait until the end of the shift...'
As time passed, it was finally time to get off work in the Security Bureau. Except for the hunters who still had tasks to do in the city, most of the administrative staff could go off work, including Brandon.
After locking his desk, Brandon stood up and chose one of the many hidden entrances and exits to enter. After climbing a flight of stairs, Brandon came to a closed door. After opening the door, he walked out of a remote storage room on the first floor of a building next to the Cypress Building.
Like many people around him who were going home from get off work, Brandon, dressed in casual clothes, walked out of the building and headed forward on the street as night fell, ready to find a place to catch a carriage home.
Brandon had only taken two steps on the sidewalk when a black stray dog with messy hair came out from the crowd, sniffed its way closer to Brandon, and finally sniffed Brandon's trouser leg, then sniffed all the way up along his trouser leg.
Feeling the movement under his feet, Brandon looked down with a frown, and saw the stray dog under his feet also looking up at him. The man and the dog looked at each other for a moment.
"Where did this dog come from? Get out of the way!"
Seeing the dirty black dog at his feet, Brandon kicked it, but the black dog nimbly dodged Brandon's kick, then ran out and disappeared among the crowd.
Seeing the stray dog running away, Brandon didn't pay much attention to it. He just walked to the roadside as usual, waited for about ten minutes, waved to stop a carriage, and got on it.
Riding in a carriage, Brandon began to move forward on the streets of Igwynte, but above his carriage there was a crow standing on it.
…
Dozens of meters behind the carriage that Brandon was riding, there was another carriage pulling ahead. The driver of the carriage was a man wearing a top hat and with a gloomy and pale face. In the carriage, a white-haired girl in a black dress sat steadily with a slight smile on her face.
"Finally found it... the addict of 'Cup'..."
Sitting on the seat of the carriage, Dorothy smiled and said that she had finally located the Holy Communion's spy in the Igwinter Security Bureau.
In fact, Dorothy had been thinking about a question from a long time ago: how did the Holy Communion plant a spy inside the Security Bureau? Logically speaking, when an organization like the Security Bureau recruits people, it is impossible that there are no strict screening measures, and it is absolutely impossible to recruit people openly. It is more likely that they will select people from within the secular police system. It is actually very difficult for the Holy Communion to plant spies through the Security Bureau. First, the other party does not recruit people openly, and it is difficult to find a channel for planting. Second, the review is strict.
Another point is that through recent contacts, Dorothy feels that these guys in the "Cup" Society are somewhat crazy, their brains are not very good, and they don't seem to be able to do such delicate work as training spies. Another point is that the spies who are recruited by the other party are usually small pawns and cannot access valuable and important intelligence. During the Liberton case, the spy reacted very quickly and immediately sent a message to the Holy Communion, which proves that the position of the spy will never be too low.
Through the above inferences, Dorothy roughly ruled out the possibility that the Holy Communion carefully trained a spy from scratch and inserted it into the Security Bureau through corresponding recruitment. After ruling out this possibility, there was only one way for the Holy Communion to insert a spy into the Security Bureau.
That is what they are better at... corruption...
That's right, in Dorothy's mind, the Holy Communion must have known the identity of a member of the Japanese Security Bureau through some opportunity, and then corrupted him through various means. Dorothy has seen their methods in Clifford, using poison and medicine at the same time, and people will be caught unknowingly when they are completely unprepared, making it difficult to guard against.
After being corrupted, that member of the Security Bureau would be completely controlled by the Holy Communion Society. As long as the Holy Communion Society threatened to cut off the supply of the "cup" medicine, the corrupted member would have no choice but to work for the Holy Communion Society and become the Holy Communion Society's eyes and ears within the Security Bureau.
Dorothy understood that the Holy Communion wanted to corrupt Greg by corrupting herself. Since the Holy Communion was willing to spend a lot of energy and resources on this plan, they must be clear about the benefits of this plan once it succeeded. Why can they clearly understand this plan and the benefits? It is very likely that they have had successful cases before.
After figuring this out, Dorothy's thoughts on how to catch the traitor became much clearer, and she had a corresponding plan. The first step in her plan was to obtain the "cup" of medicine.
Dorothy first obtained the "Cup" drug from Clifford by pretending to be corrupted. Then, relying on the "Stone" drug to detoxify, Dorothy determined the approximate intensity of the "Cup" addiction through her own experiments. The result of the experiment was that her body developed an intense and unbearable hunger and thirst three hours after taking the "Cup" drug for the first time.
Dorothy could only hold on for three hours the first time she took it. So people who take it for a long time will become more dependent and the cycle will be shorter.
The working hours in a day are far more than three hours... This means that the corrupted ghost in the Security Bureau must have drug addiction during his working hours, so he must carry a "cup" of medicine with him to take secretly to suppress the drug addiction that may occur at any time.
Now that we know that the traitor carries medicine with him, the next thing is easy. Dorothy had spent several days finding the hidden entrances and exits of the Security Bureau in advance. She only needs to place dog corpse puppets on the streets near the gathering point, and use the dogs' powerful sense of smell to search for the smell of the "cup" medicine nearby during the Security Bureau's working hours. The "cup" medicine given by Clifford just happened to become the smell sample at this time.
It can be said that Dorothy's action of catching the traitor was entirely based on the premise of getting the "cup" of medicine from Clifford. Dorothy took the risk to act opposite Clifford, not just for the secret message.
The animal corpse puppet's super senses belong to the category of precision control. Dorothy can fully activate it after using the spiritual power of "Enlightenment". Before that, it can only be used partially. Dorothy also used the powerful memory of the knower to remember the appearance of almost all the members of the Security Bureau. She will not miss a single person.
At this point, Dorothy used various means to find the spy planted by the Red Sacrament Society in the Igwinter Security Bureau. Now she needs to use this as a breakthrough to obtain more intelligence.
