"So they took those children away for the purpose of performing a blood sacrifice?"

Eros' tone was a little surprised. Logically speaking, shouldn't this kind of action be carried out in secret?

You're doing it with such a high profile because you're afraid the church won't notice, right?

After hearing Eros' question, Peter and David looked at each other, both of them with deep confusion in their eyes.

After a while, Peter shook his head and said:

"I can't be sure if their purpose is really to hold a blood sacrifice."

"Their actions this time are really too eye-catching. Unlike the last time when they secretly accumulated and carried out their operations, this time it was as if they deliberately put this matter in front of us."

"This is too deliberate. I have reason to suspect that they want to use this superficial action to cover up a crazier and more dangerous plan in secret."

At this point, Peter showed a hint of pity in his eyes:

"It's a pity that we didn't catch any members of the Scarlet Cult, otherwise we might be able to get some clues from them."

"That way I wouldn't be so clueless now."

Eros shook his head and said calmly, "Those cultists who came out to snatch children are just the lower class of the Scarlet Cult."

"They were just following orders, and they didn't even necessarily know more about what they were doing than we did."

Eros verified this with his own hands last night, but the result was that he knew nothing about anything.

Those guys only knew that they were given orders from above to collect the underage children and then hand them over to their captain.

It’s a pity that none of the so-called captains were among the ten people last night, otherwise we might have been able to gain something.

Peter smiled bitterly after listening to this. He knew that Eros was right. Those lower-level cultists might not know more than them.

Peter sighed softly and cursed, "These damn things, sooner or later we have to find them all."

Just then, the office door was pushed open and Vivian walked in from outside.

Seeing Vivian coming in, Peter temporarily suppressed his annoyance and asked:

"Vivian, have you discovered what's going on at the cemetery?"

Weiweian sat down on an office chair and said weakly:

"Someone is waking up corpses over there, trying to transform those corpses into ghouls."

"Have you found out who did it?" Peter asked with a frown.

Vivian shook her head, still looking half dead:

"When I got there, it was already over. I only found out what happened there by checking the traces left at the scene."

Hearing this, Peter looked at Vivian in surprise:

"Looking at how tired you looked, I thought you had fought with them!"

"Don't mention it. When I wanted to take the carriage back this morning, I found that the money I had with me was missing."

"Then I ran back over a hundred kilometers!"

Vivian leaned back in her chair, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

Peter: "..."

David: "..."

It is impossible that the money disappeared for no reason, especially for a powerful combat nun like Vivian.

If it was a normal accident, Vivian would definitely react immediately, but she didn't this time...

Then there is only one possibility, the curse of losing the loved one forever.

Thinking of this, Peter and David stopped talking, for they were afraid that their words would irritate Vivian.

So the office fell silent, Peter and David lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking about.

Vivian slumped in her office chair, her head tilted back, her beautiful eyes staring blankly at the ceiling.

Eros cast his gaze out the window, wondering in his mind whether he should go to 706 Anst Street in the morning or in the afternoon?

Before he could come up with an answer, the office door was pushed open again. This time it was Captain Red who came in, followed by Daisy.

Captain Red's expression seemed a little serious at the moment. As soon as he came in, he looked around at everyone and said in a dull voice:

"Did anyone find any clues yesterday?"

Peter and David shook their heads to indicate no. Vivian, who was sitting in the office chair, forced herself to perk up and said:

"Many of the graves in the Elson Cemetery were severely damaged. Someone was holding a ceremony there to awaken the corpses and transform them into ghouls."

"I counted them. There are a total of six empty coffins. This means there are at least six ghouls wandering around in Haidaram."

Captain Red nodded after listening and said in a steady tone:

"I understand. I will inform the night watch teams in other areas of Haidaram of this news and remind them to pay attention."

Seeing Captain Red say this, Vivian responded lightly and continued to slump in the chair. Captain Red was obviously not surprised by this.

At this time, Captain Red turned his head and looked at Eros, forcing a smile on his face and said:

"Did Conan find anything yesterday?"

Eros thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday, two blood servants from the Scarlet Cult broke into my yard. However, since I was not there at the time, they were killed directly by my maid Evelyn, so no one was left alive."

"what?"

Peter and David were shocked. They had been hanging out outside all day yesterday but hadn't found a single member of the Scarlet Sect.

So now you say that two members of the Scarlet Sect came to your house yesterday?

Captain Red was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and asked:

"No one was hurt?"

Eros shook his head: "They were just frightened, not injured."

"Why did they break into your house?" David looked at Eros with a puzzled expression.

Eros smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it because of the pollution that Tracy's body can't grow up?"

"It may be because of this reason that the two blood servants mistakenly thought Tracy was just a child, so they prepared to break into the yard to rob her."

Thinking of that delicate and well-behaved little girl, everyone looked at each other in confusion.

After a few seconds of silence, Captain Red took the initiative to break the silence:

"I will help you report this matter. Your maid killed two cultists, so this can be counted as your merit."

Eros showed a perfect expression of joy on his face: "Thank you, Captain!"

Captain Red waved his hand to indicate that you're welcome, then he looked around at everyone again and made arrangements:

"Then let's continue to disperse the investigation and focus on those families with children at home."

"If you don't know who has children in your area, you can go to the police to ask for a regional household registration file. I have arranged it for you."

"Also, if you do find any clues, don't act rashly or alone. Pass the news to the church as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Captain Reid walked out of the office door.

"Then let's continue to go out and investigate!" Peter said after a long breath.

As he said that, Peter also walked out of the office door.

Watching his teammates leaving one after another, Eros curled his lips slightly, and it was time for him to take action.
