My Space-Time System

Chapter 466 - 466 Baiting snakes.

466 Baiting snakes.

From the contents of the dimensional amulet, Blake was able to deduce that the north was her resupplying point, and judging from the size and arrays it should be one of the largest if not the largest.

“This is all I need for now. Time to get some rest and prepare for tomorrow.” It was already way past midnight.

To make sure no one knew of his appearance close to the area, he decided to use the guardian scarab to fly back home.

Thanks to the body of a Hero having a lot more vitality than normal humans, Blake wasn’t disturbed by the lack of sleep.

He went straight to the canteen for breakfast and met Camilla along with her 2nd in command, Lauren.

“Has the investigation department gotten any lead on their next target?” Camilla asked as she sipped her coffee.

She couldn’t talk about Blake’s investigation or personal topics when Lauren was with them. So the only thing left to talk about was the investigation department since it was currently the most active.

“Still no lead on anything except for small gangs. What about you?” Blake said pointing at the file beside Camilla.

.....

“I just received the case immediately after I entered my office. It’s about a woman in the southern region who died from an overdose of narcotics.” Camilla said causing Blake to furrow his brows.

Since the investigation department was focused on tracking down gangs, she was tasked to confirm it was a drug overdose and not murder.

“Can I see the file?” Blake asked.

“Sure.” Camilla said as she passed the file over to Blake.

Blake saw the name Sophia before moving over to the occupation which said, Stripper. To further make sure, Blake turned the page to see the photo of the stripper.

‘It’s her.’ Blake thought as he continued to turn the page seeing the photograph of the dead body with pink powder on her nostrils.

[I knew she bought way too many.] The system said after remembering the quantity the stripper had purchased.

“Do you know her?” Camilla asked after seeing how much Blake was invested in the case.

“Nope, I was just intrigued by the case because this is the first time I am hearing about it.” Blake said as he handed over back the file.

“What do you think about the case is it really a drug overdose?” Camilla asked. Blake was the best investigator she knew, so his opinion mattered a lot.

“Of course, it is an overdose.” Blake said without a change in expression.

“How are you so sure?” Camilla couldn’t help but ask.

“I happened to have been in the vicinity at the time of the purchase.” Blake said.

“You were at a strip club?” Lauren blurted before realizing what she had done and apologizing.

“Yes.” Blake answered without caring to explain.

His reply left Lauren flabbergasted, but what even made it worst was turning to Camilla and finding out she wasn’t even bothered about the matter.

‘I don’t understand. From what I have seen so far, even if they are not dating she should still feel disgusted or disappointed that he went to a place like that?’ The more Lauren looked at both of them and thought about it the more confused she became.

“If you need something to make a good report, you can use the report from the blood test.” Blake said instantly making Camilla understand everything while still leaving Lauren clueless.

“Thanks.” Camilla said as he had saved her a whole lot of stress.

[Hope you don’t feel guilty about her death?] The system asked.

If Blake hadn’t dropped the gold coin she wouldn’t have purchased such a large quantity, thus not overdosing.

‘Why should I be? Although I knew that she would have most likely purchased the drug, everything was her decision.’

‘She got a chance to change her life with the gold coin but she chose to buy the drugs. Apart from that, she was still the one that took way more than she could handle, so her death is in no way my fault.’ Blake said.

[That’s nice to hear.]

After breakfast, all ash corps had gone straight to work, especially the investigation department.

Amongst all departments, they were currently the busiest. Apart from working on the crackdown on gangs, they still had to look into other major crimes.

“Good day everyone.” Colonel Darius said as he appeared in the investigation department.

“How may we be of help?” Major Watson asked after saluting the colonel.

Watson stood 6′ 3″ tall and looked like he was in his late 60’s. He was a honey-skinned man with an angry feel about him, and he had a distinctive birthmark on his head that made his receding hairline noticeable.

“I have received intel concerning human trafficking operations at different sites. I need you guys to quickly verify the info because there would be a strike on the locations in 20 minutes.” Colonel Darius said.

“Whenever you are ready, sir.” General Watson said as he waited for Darius to present the intel he had received.

“You would need to inform everyone because I am sure that those here won’t be enough.” Colonel Darius said as he scanned the room.

“How many would be needed?” Watson couldn’t help but ask because almost all personnel were currently busy. So he was planning on recalling all those on lesser tasks.

“All. We are about to catch big fish.” Colonel Darius said without his signature smile on his face.

If this was anyone else, he wouldn’t have taken it seriously, but this was the colonel himself.

“Alright sir, but it would take 5 minutes for all of them to return.” The major said.

“Then I hope you all will be able to get the job done on time.” Darius said before taking a seat,

Without wasting even a second more, Watson began contacting every investigation agent and informing them of the current situation.
