There was motive and it was a big one at that. Unfortunately, the investigation couldn’t go further along this line because the son of the Edwin family denied the accusation, denied further questioning on the matter, and refused to let anyone search his house.
Soon after putting down his foot to stump the investigation, the fate weaver in the investigation team determined that the propagator of disorder had come to his house and had been killed there.
This still wasn’t enough to change his mind. He refused to let anyone search his place no matter what they said.
The gang leaders were not going to have any of these. 265 people had died. That wasn’t a small number by any means. The gangs and their leaders were determined to find the culprit even if they had to offend the Edwin family to do so.
Sir Kriss was put in a tough spot by this matter. He didn’t want to offend the Golden Hammer gang before when his daughter died, so he certainly didn’t want to offend every gang now.
Unfortunately, he had no choice in the matter now. He had to squash the investigation because his son had confessed to him that he might have something to do with it.
His son told him that he had indeed hired the spy and bought the disease for the spy to use, but the target had always been the Golden Hammer gang, not the Five Gears gang, which the Machinist controls.
His son also told him that the spy shouldn’t have known that he was the one who employed him because he went through a third party. Even so, the soy came to his house, attacked him, and was killed by his guards in order to protect him.
Sir Kriss could tell that if his son was speaking the truth, someone was trying to set up his son, and that person was possibly the Golden Hammer gang.
But he couldn’t tell the angry gang leaders this because his son had intended to use the trick before and because the Golden Hammer gang had already cried that someone was trying to set them up.
Whatever he said would only be proving that his son either wanted to harm the Golden Hammer gang or wanted to set them up. The gang leaders must not know this, or they will be very angry.
The gang leaders were angry now because he was blocking the investigation, but their current anger will pale in comparison to what they will feel when they confirm that it was his son who killed so many people or had the intention to kill so many people.
He is sure that the gang leaders will want to kill his son for the crime of murder. He couldn’t allow that, so he had to find irrefutable proof that it was the Golden Hammer gang that was responsible for the death of so many people.
For him to achieve what he wanted, he needed time. So he decided to block the investigation of his son while doing his own investigation.
However, things didn’t go according to his plan because the Magi discovered that among the people who purchased the disease recently, there was a guy who often went to the house of Cedric, the son of Sir Kriss of the Edwin family.
What’s more, this man had also gone to Cedric’s territory yesterday and never came out. It was clear that Cedric was killing everyone that could tie him to the matter. This became the straw that broke the camel’s back.
At a glance, it was clear that Cedric was responsible for the deaths of 265 men and women doing honest work. But the Magi and the Fate Weaver were only partly certain of it.
The Magi wasn’t sure because the information he wanted was easy to acquire. He noticed that people that he asked knew what he wanted in order for his investigation to proceed without hiccups and lead to Cedric’s house.
The fate Weaver had also noticed that some things were blocked in her investigation, while every matter related to Cedric was easy to acquire. To him, it was as if an invisible force was leading and pushing them towards a direction.
The results of their investigations showed that Cedric had something to do with the matter. The two of them weren’t sure that he did it and would like to continue investigating in order to confirm.
At the very least, they wanted Cedric to speak about the matter to a judge and swear that he didn’t have anything to do with it. They didn’t have any intention to harm him and were even hoping to help him appease the public, but Cedric and his father, Sir Kriss, refused to let them continue investigating.
Sir Kriss claimed that searching the compound of his son and questioning his employees would be a violation of privacy. He also promised to investigate and find out the unadulterated truth about the matter. But the gang leaders weren’t having anything he was saying.
The gangs broke into Cedric’s house and began investigating. They also brought godclads of the pathway of death to call back the spirit of the dead and question them.
The spirit of the soy was the first one to be questioned. The spirit was dull and couldn’t say much, but he mentioned the guy that employed him and stated that his mission was to wipe out the territory of the Golden Hammer gang and that of the Five Gears gang.
He couldn’t say any more after that. The spirit dissipated, so they called back the spirit of the handler.
The spirit of the handler confessed that it was Cedric who employed him and told him to employ the propagator of justice. He also confessed to buying the disease from the black market and giving the disease to the spy.
When the spirit of the handler was questioned about who the targets were, Legion, who was watching the interrogation through the eyes of Golden Hammer, ordered their fate weaver to activate the hex that they placed in the spirit of the handler before his death.
