Chapter 68 Firepower Coverage
Klein took the wanted poster from the captain, and what came into view was a sketch portrait.
The person in the portrait has a round face, a friendly and shy demeanor, and is not very old, only about eighteen or nineteen years old.
"Triss is suspected to be the instigator of Sequence 8 and the perpetrator of the Clover massacre. Witnesses have confirmed that he arrived in Tingen after disembarking at Enmat Port, and his current whereabouts are unknown."
Looking at Triss's wanted poster, Klein couldn't help but sigh that the "assassin" was the one who understood the "assassin" best. He had only given a brief description of the Clover massacre in the letter, and Evan had immediately concluded that there was an "instigator" behind the tragedy.
At the same time, Klein immediately realized that this was an opportunity to expose Mrs. Sharon, so he said almost without thinking:
"I saw him today, yes, it was him! I saw him get into a carriage!"
Dunn Smith looked at Klein with deep, grey eyes and asked seriously:
"Where?"
"Right at the entrance of the fortune teller's club, I went there again today looking for clues related to Heinz Vancent, and I happened to run into him at the entrance."
Klein said decisively, without blinking.
Do you know whose carriage he got into?
Dunn continued to ask questions, not missing a single detail.
"I don't know, but I do know it was a luxurious noble carriage with noble coats of arms engraved on it. I would recognize it as soon as I saw it. And the lady who picked him up was very beautiful, which left a deep impression on me."
Klein actually knew where Mrs. Sharon's house was, but he dared not say too much, lest it arouse suspicion.
"A beautiful lady?"
Instead of delving into the discussion, Dunn Smith got up and pulled out a large picture book from the bookshelf behind him, asking Klein to identify it.
Fortunately, there weren't many nobles in Tingen, and even fewer had survived the inheritance over the years. Klein quickly found his target and pointed it out to Dunn.
Dunn glanced at it and said without the slightest hesitation:
"This is the coat of arms of the Hoy family. They should be living in the East District now. We'll go to the police station to get the information now."
Klein was surprised by the captain's improved memory, recognizing the emblem at a glance, and then eagerly suggested:
"The fact that Triss can commit such evil deeds with impunity shows that there is a secret organization behind him that is also committing numerous evils."
The noble members capable of receiving Sequence 8 Extraordinary individuals must hold a high position within the secret organization, and their own Sequence rank is likely not low either. Should we make some preparations in advance?
Klein had known from Evan long ago that Mrs. Sharon was a Sequence 6 Beyonder on the Assassin Path. He didn't want to rush over recklessly only to find that he couldn't defeat her. After all, the most powerful captain among the Night Watchers, Dunn Smith, was only a Sequence 7 Nightmare.
Dunn Smith, having already put on his coat, asked Klein seriously:
"What you said makes a lot of sense. Do you have any suggestions?"
Klein had already come up with a preliminary plan in the blink of an eye, so he only hesitated for a moment before speaking directly:
"The victims of the Clover massacre were not only followers of the God of Steam and Machines, but also followers of the Goddess and the God of Storms. They should also contribute to the capture of Tris. We can send a telegram directly to the 'Punisher' team and the 'Mechanical Heart' team requesting support."
The East District is the area of responsibility of the "Substitute Punishers" team. Perhaps we can get relevant information from them, so we won't have to go to the police station to get the information, which can save time.
Meanwhile, if possible, after confirming the target's identity and locking onto the target's location, the Punisher Squad should, without alerting the target, first monitor the area without approaching, urgently evacuate the surrounding crowd, and then mobilize at least five cannons from the surrounding garrison to directly bombard the target's hiding place to the ground, while we lie in ambush on the perimeter.
In that case, the target will either be blown up while hiding, or escape and be ambushed and killed by us.
"Captain, what do you think? Is this plan feasible?"
Dunn Smith was stunned, wondering what kind of brain circuit his subordinate had that could come up with such a method.
"It should be feasible. Since the target lives in a high-end aristocratic area in a detached villa, it means that the population density is low, which can effectively disperse the crowd. As long as we can control the target for a short period of time, we can even evacuate the servants."
To be honest, Dunn Smith was used to operating in secrecy, using extraordinary strength and firearms, and had never thought of this aspect before. Klein's suggestion seemed to open the door to a new world for him, making him lick his lips and feel a strange impulse. He turned around and prepared to send a message to the Punisher Squad and the Mechanical Heart Squad.
"Oh, right, Captain, when you send the message, make sure the Punisher squad waits for us, and emphasize that the target might not be just Sequence 7. Otherwise, I'm worried they might take care of it themselves just because it's their territory!"
Klein knew that the Storm Church's "Sailor" pathway's Sequence 8 was "The Wrathful People," and he was genuinely afraid that they would rashly charge forward.
Dunn Smith pondered Klein's words for a moment, nodded in deep agreement, looked Klein up and down again, and then praised him:
"You have the potential to become the captain of the Night Watch. You consider things very comprehensively. You can not only clearly formulate action plans, but also understand the strengths and weaknesses of your companions."
If you possess an extraordinary talent for potion-making like Daly, you might have the opportunity to become a high-ranking member of the church in the future.
Klein gave an awkward smile and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Although the Tarot Club I formed is small, it's already a fairly secretive organization. If I were to rise to the top and be discovered by the Goddess of the Night..."
Klein shivered inexplicably.
Just as Captain Dunn went to send a message to his colleagues, Leonard appeared in front of Klein, glanced at the hurried captain, and asked in surprise:
"What happened?"
Klein recounted the entire story to Leonard, who looked at Klein with a complicated expression.
He would never believe that Klein had actually encountered the carriages of the Triss and Hoy families. He believed that Klein had been planning this all along and was just taking advantage of the situation.
However, he wouldn't expose Klein's true colors, because after spending time together, he still respected Klein's character and was willing to maintain their previous understanding.
Seeing Frye and Cohen arrive one after another, and finding it inconvenient to speak, Leonard whispered to Klein:
"Now that this matter is over, let's find a place to talk about that investment scam."
After finishing his explanation, Leonard approached Frye and the others and briefed them on the situation again.
Klein's face had already darkened, because if Leonard reported the "fraudster," he wouldn't discuss anything with Klein anymore and could just report him to the captain directly.
The fact that they need to consult with him specifically can only mean one thing: his solution might be the same as Evan's solution, so they need to persuade Klein.
This means that many people have lost their families and lives.
