As the investigations began, it was obviously pretty slow going.
And from the first people we talked to, I found out that William... he's not very good at investigating!
He is someone we can say... laid back and makes friends easily!
In the Order he respected everyone by wanting a certain distance, but now during the Mission, as he had to trust us, he was unable to hide his friendly and even a little fatherly and... goofy personality!
But this did not help the investigations, since at first we were talking to the neighbors and people who found the victim's corpse.
And they were very unhappy, since we are not the first policemen to talk to them, the time they must have lost is great.
But in the end my beauty helped a lot!
But as expected, the information we got was useless, nobody saw anything.
The security cameras were being analyzed by Gustavo as far as I know, so we can only continue!
...
"Fbio, from now on you stay in the fucking car!" - I said seriously, discontent obvious in my tone.
"What? But why? I didn't do anything!" - He said back raising his voice.
"Hey guys, calm down, don't be like that!" - William spoke trying to calm us down.
"You are very unstable and can't disguise yourself, you almost got us kicked out by the civilians 2 times! You will stay in the car from now on, I will only call you in case of action!" - I say with a certain coldness.
Not that I hate him, not at all, it's just that this personality is not good for investigating, he will only get in the way.
Fabio wanted to say something, but I noticed William looking at him with a certain intensity, so turning to me he said. - "Little Juri, Fabio is young and new at this, don't be irritated, he will get better!"
"I'm not irritated...maybe a little, but the point is that he will get in the way of the investigation, so he stays in the car!" - I say sighing.
"How about he keeps following us, only quiet? He should learn too!" - William says.
I sigh and accept that for now, it's actually a pretty good excuse: Newbie Cop!
And look I'm younger than him, but I have a very mature appearance and with proper acting, I can appear to be a little older.
As we were going to the next interrogations, I acquired the skill [Information Gathering].
This Skill is very useful, it affects the people I talk to and am seeking to know things from, which causes the person to have a small Buff in their memory for the subject.
The person will not notice anything different, but will be more likely, if the conditions are right, to give me the information I seek.
As for what are the "Conditions"? Simple, whether they are helping voluntarily or whether they are being paid!
The [Information Collection] will work on that as a basis.
Where in the case of giving the information voluntarily, chances are they will give more useful information than the questions initially wanted.
Whereas in the case of the paid one, the information will be more accurate, but will not go off topic by normal means.
After a whole afternoon, we returned the vehicles and compiled the collected information, the Team Leader taking everything to read.
But as expected, it wasn't much different from what was at the police station, in fact, I apparently got more information than the cops, where I got a compliment, but I'm not a kid, so... meh!
But it still wasn't that useful, where we stayed with Gustavo!
We all looked at him as he reported.
"The chances of being a [Blood Devourer] have decreased!" - Gustavo said seriously, then showed us a video.
I don't know the place, it must have stayed with Paloma's team.
"Likely 3!" - Gustavo said which made many frown.
"Those 3 people are seen at various points, in fact, they are being sought by the police at the moment, it just hasn't been publicized!" - Said Gustavo showing the picture of 3 redheaded people.
One woman and two men, all with red hair and very handsome.
But as I look at that, I notice something while one of the videos was running and I tell it to stop.
"What?" - Gustavo asked and I just pick up the computer, I know how to tinker very well, maybe as well as he does.
I quickly ZOOM the video and show everyone, the smiling face of the woman, looking at the camera.
"She's looking directly at the camera!" - I say seriously.
"Maybe it's a coincidence!" - Paloma says lightly.
"No, her looking directly at the camera and smiling, before she probably goes to make her victim, means that... she might be teasing us!" - I say frowning.
"If so, we accept the provocation!" - Fabius said smiling and already pulling out his staff.
"Not us exactly, whoever is looking for her... leader, have you heard news of police officers disappearing?"
"Police officers disappearing?" - Theodore narrowed his eyes and became thoughtful.
"2 have disappeared, but their bodies have not been found!" - Flavia said in her distant tone.
Theodore frowned, not liking the fact that he didn't know that.
"If I'm right, these creatures are very trusting and must be actively attracting people, so I think we should look for the last 2 weeks, the increase in missing persons in the area, as well as the area with the most disappearances!" - When I say that, I immediately look at Gustavo who nods.
I then return the computer and stand thinking, while the others talk.
"You saw something I didn't, impressive for your first mission. But well, Gustavo, focus on finding this information, I'll try to find out the last location of the two missing police officers!" - Said Theodore rather calmly and long giving orders to everyone except me thoughtfully.
As for what I'm thinking, is that it shouldn't be just 3 Blood Eaters, even more that teasing smile, so if I'm right about the increase in disappearances, it means that these are victims too.
And depending on the amount of disappearances, it might even be a colony of sorts...what am I getting at? Likely we will face 10 or more Low Level Demons(1~50), as well as 1 or more Medium Level Demons.
I am thinking of high numbers, so I won't be surprised.
Now when the general location comes up, I will only need to prowl the place, then it will appear on my [Map], where it will only be necessary for us to invade and deal with the pests!
