Chapter 448: Chapter 329 Demon and Man

Aaron was naturally all too willing to agree with what Bena had said.

However, he also knew that what she meant might be a bit different from what he was thinking, so he did not dwell too much on this issue.

Now, the basic clues had been obtained, and the target preliminarily identified; what remained was further investigation.

This would take some time and could not be completed immediately.

Logically, in such a small town, this kind of news should have spread long ago.

However, considering certain influences, the police chose to completely block the information about the case, as long as the parties of the Braun family didn’t deliberately publicize it.

Bena was already overwhelmed by torture, naturally she had no time to pay attention to this matter any further.

But now, Aaron’s investigation had let others also know that the Braun family had undergone a huge change, and this matter slowly became known to everyone in the town.

The time quickly moved to the next afternoon.

"Father, I heard that a private detective has come to town, investigating the Braun family’s incident, do I need to go stop him?"

In the town’s police station, a young man was speaking to a middle-aged police officer with a corpulent figure.

The middle-aged officer was the town’s police chief named Henry, and he was in charge of the case involving Old Braun.

"Hmm, I’ve heard about this person as well, indeed a trouble. But our plan has basically been completed by now, he should not be able to cause any substantial trouble, so let’s not stir the grass and startle the snake; otherwise, it might make us look even more suspicious..."

"But, if by doing this, that detective really finds out something, will it not implicate us too...?"

The young man said with a worried look.

"No worries, Robert, we’ve covered our tracks perfectly; how could he possibly find out? Besides, even we can’t figure out who the murderer is, so what could that youngster possibly discover?"

"Moreover, we did not kill the person; we only hastened the investigation to maintain the peace and stability of the town, to ensure the smooth progress of the Milk Festival, and for everyone’s future happiness..."

Officer Henry appeared very composed.

The young man still looked slightly panicked. He glanced at the evidence room not far away. From his angle, he could clearly see a large tank placed there.

"But... Father, I was the one who poured the milk into that tank later... If he really finds out, could I be charged with aiding in concealing a corpse?"

Upon hearing this, Henry immediately looked around, and seeing no one nearby, he glared and said:

"Robert! Can’t you keep it down? How did I end up with such an idiot for a son! How many times have I told you, they don’t have a surveillance camera at their front door, no one will know you added the milk, you just need to keep your mouth shut and keep this secret! Don’t confess without being pressed!"

As he spoke, his expression turned very serious again, and he continued:

"No matter what, no murder cases can occur in this town! Business investors are planning to invest and revamp our town, and the investigators from their side will arrive within three days at the latest. If they find out that Morganstoman Town, known for its harmony, has had such an incident, then the investment plan might be dead in the water. So, this investigation must be stopped immediately!"

The conversation between the two carried on in the quiet and empty hall of the police station. Today was the Milk Festival, and the other few policemen had all left to participate in the party at the town center square.

The father and son would stand their last post here, and if time allowed, they could join the celebration with everyone else.

If Aaron had been there, he would have discovered from the conversation that this matter was influenced by human factors.

Perhaps these two were not the murderers of the Braun couple, but they were certainly involved in the affair!

It is difficult to judge the rightness or wrongness of such actions.

But it is undeniable that they had concealed the truth and forcefully closed the case.

As long as the investor’s inspector did not find anything unfavorable in the town within three days, the massive investment plan would likely go smoothly.

At that time, the town would undergo transformation, and the income of the town’s people would increase significantly.

As for the grievances that Bena had to bear, it was truly regrettable, but for the sake of everyone and the whole town, they could only inconvenience her.

The current time was four in the afternoon, less than three hours away from the seven o’clock Milk Festival.

People had already prepared their flower pots and milk, just waiting for the time to come so they could gather at the square and start the annual celebration.

However, in such a moment of celebration, some people were not happy at all.

Bena was sitting on her home’s sofa, staring at a photograph of herself with her parents, showing no inclination to go out and join the celebration even though her home was so close to the square.

Although Bena had, with Aaron’s help, managed to emerge from her numb state, it was still difficult for her to joyfully attend the evening festivity.

"Bang!"

At the entrance, the sound of a door closing was heard, and a figure hurriedly ran in. Seeing Bena sitting on the sofa, he excitedly began to speak:

"Bena! I think I’ve made a discovery! Those thorny demons are likely hiding in the town right now!"

Bena, who had been staring at the photograph, snapped back to reality upon hearing his words, quickly rising to her feet and looking towards the white-haired man.

"Really! That’s great! Aaron, I knew you could do it! Tell me quickly, where are those damned creatures, I want to go with you and kill them!"

Aaron, seeing her reaction, hesitated slightly before refusing with a wave of his hand:

"No, no, Bena, these monsters are very dangerous, I can’t possibly let you come with me and risk your life."

But Bena, disregarding his concerns and with a look of hatred on her face, said:

"Aaron, please, you must take me with you. Don’t worry! I’ve learned some fighting skills, I won’t be a burden! And I have a gun! I want to avenge my parents! I’m willing to risk my life for it!"

Aaron was conflicted. He was tempted to say that firearms would probably be ineffective against these monsters, that only specially made weapons could kill them.

Like the hand crossbow he had prepared in his suitcase, fitted with silver arrowheads, along with Holy Water obtained from a priest at a well-known church, and stakes made of peach wood... Only such things could harm the monsters.

Otherwise, the wounds inflicted by ordinary weapons would mostly heal immediately on the monsters, essentially making them impossible to kill.
