Chapter 410: Killing Spree
Translator: Dess Editor: Zayn_
In the morning, Kieran was sitting in the parlor in Lander's mansion, looking at a visitor .
It was a middle-aged man with thick hands . The wrinkles at the corner of his eyes and mouth did not match his actual age, probably because he kept smiling .
In fact, since the moment he met with Kieran, his smile never dropped .
If it wasn't for his introduction as a police officer, Kieran would take him as a businessman .
The man did not possess the stern manner of any police officer Kieran knew . Even though the person before him in his position was Calkin, the worst police officer in the city, he was serious in his speech and manner .
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Sir 2567!"
The new chief officer, Roshen, took a slight bow and said with a face full of smiles .
Not only was his tone courteous, it also had a sense of inferiority between the lines .
Kieran clearly had felt that inferiority, meaning the chief office was there to ask for his help .
He had never mistaken his own speculations before in such situations . He had seen such a manner in people in the past, and most of them were his previous colleagues . They showed such manners when they were requesting for a raise or a day off from the boss .
Kieran was curious what caused the chief officer to treat him with such manner; his heart naturally had doubts over it, but his expression towards Roshen was ever calm .
Since the initiative was within his palms, why not wait patiently for Roshen to speak and try to get more control out of it?
Kieran was not a cunning man, but it didn't mean he wouldn't fight for more benefits for himself .
Especially if he would be the one doing all the heavy lifting; he must be certain it would be worth his effort .
Roshen saw Kieran remain calm and silent; he couldn't help but slightly move his body, making his posture more humble and low before he started to voice out his intentions .
"Yesterday, during the fire at Brocker's grocery store, someone seemed to have spotted Sir 2567! My men even discovered a frozen secret room beneath the building! Truth be told, if I didn't witness it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it as well, just like the monsters you mentioned last night… The Night race!"
"I never thought there were so many of those monsters hiding within my men, and each of them were related to certain murder cases, missing cases and others . All the cases led back to Brocker's grocery store! Of course, none of these were matters of importance . The important thing is those Night monsters in the higher ranks! Before we started our operation, all of them were assassinated last night, including our mayor, state secretary, speaker of the house of commons and my boss, the police director!"
After speaking about a bunch of unhealthy topics with the intention to test Kieran, Roshen finally got to the main point .
The newly-appointed chief officer was looking at Kieran while he spoke; his gaze was judgemental and the meaning of his gaze was self-explanatory .
"Are you suspecting it was me who killed all of them?" Kieran rested his own gaze at Roshen, without any dodging .
"No, no! How could it be? We are just hoping to know more about the Night race . If you can provide some information about the killer, it would be utmost helpful! After all, when my men investigated the scene of the crime, the results were quite unbelievable! So, I would like to ask . Are there any other kinds of monsters besides the Night race?"
Roshen was shaking his hand anxiously, looking panicked, but his voice was clear .
Kieran could even feel that Roshen's manner had changed when he said those words . It was not pleasant and warm anymore but was sharp, as if a piece of cotton had turned into a sharp knife .
"A cover?" Kieran thought in his mind, but regardless of what it was, it was none of his concern .
As for monsters other than the Night race? Kieran had no intentions to hide that as well .
Judging by the sides that both of them took, they were more foe than friend .
Since they were foes, Kieran wouldn't mind increasing their trouble .
"Yes, there are some other monsters that I don't even know, or should I say, there are too many monsters out there, to the point that I couldn't even tell which is which! You can find Lander regarding this matter; he might still be keeping the body of the creature that attacked us!" Kieran nodded in reply .
