Chapter 1249 - The F.B.I At Work!

Chapter 1249 - The F.B.I At Work!

Could it be that he was too dumb?
Hawkins had no tears in his eyes but wanted to cry out a river of water at how hard it was to keep up with the thoughts of these people.
"Special Agent Martha, what do you mean?"
"I'm saying... that they spent an awful amount of time here, compared to the other areas where they just dashed and leaped on continuously."
Hawkins frowned: "But isn't that normal? They should avoid getting found out by the large circular lights and the guards at the posts. So isn't it normal for them to stop from time to time and gather themselves?"
"Hmmm... That's maybe one of the reasons why they stopped. But it wasn't their primary reason. Look all around you. There are other spots where they could've stopped to figure things out too. So why here? Moreover, why are their print patterns so bizarre if all they had to do was stay in place and figure things out?... Something doesn't add up."
Swish!
In a flash, Martha began searching for heaven knows what around the scene.
At present, they were behind one of the shipping containers scattered around.
That's right.
This place was a public storage facility, with private shipping containers and several massive warehouses scattered about.
.
Like so, Martha began searching through the scene with laser-beam focus.
And Chris and Jake also ȧssisted her, leaving Hawkin's having no choice but to join in and look for heaven knows what.
Hawkin's wasn't very sure they would be able to find anything.
But shockingly, just 2 minutes in, they found a total of 7 bags buried in various locations in a very inconspicuous way too.
Fuck. One would think that these ȧssassins would make perfect gardeners with their ability to mask the fact that they hid things under the flower beds.
A few also good things in plain sight, which were more challenging to spot than the ones in the flowerbeds.
Hawkins widened his eyes in surprise.
I'll go! They really found so many hidden clues?
(°0°)
Martha glanced at the bags and quickly opened the first bag carefully.
In the bag she opened, she found several casual shirts and pants belonging to at least 6 people in this one bag. The clothes were all light and airy, probably to fit as many people's items into this one bag.
.
Hawkins at the side was more anxious at the discovery just now.
"Agent Martha, quickly! Quickly! What did you find?"
Martha looked at the hole on the side of the bag deeply: "Before filling the bag with their clothes, they should've filled it up with other items instead. I suspect that they not only carried current outfits in them but also carried a variety of kitchen blades and everyday items too. For one, the tiny hole here should be created by a Santoku Kitchen knife."
How fascinating!
Everyone perked their ear diligently while still listening to Martha.
"The knife had long tucked onto the sides of the bag before finally piercing through it. And because of this, it's left a few trained fabric patterns around that spot."
Everyone leaned in and stared at the strained fabric patterns formed by the blade.
Chris nodded in agreement: "I'm most familiar with that blade. So seeing the printed scratches, twists and markings left by the blade, it's most likely a Santoku Blade, or one similar to it in size, weight and shape."
A Santoku blade?
At this instant, one of the regular officers following behind the gang, quickly flipped his little jotter and wrote down her words diligently, all the while marvelling at how fortunate he was to be here.
Just listening to them talk and deduce facts made his entire body tremble and quake all over
Great! Great! He was watching true F.B.I's at work!
(^0^)
.
"A Santoku blade is thinner and shorter when compared to most kitchen blades. But make no mistake! What they lack in blade width and height, they completely make up for in hardness instead. They are harder than the typical kitchen blades, giving one good control over them."
"Hmhm. Their perfect balance of Hardness and short length make them the perfect blades for cutting, slicing, mincing and killing food swiftly. They could slice off very thin layers of meat, as thin as paper if needed. And when sharpened, no poultry would stand a chance against them!"
Gulp~
So strong!
Well, these blades, as well as everyday kitchen blades, were and would always be dangerous...
But, there was just nothing one could do to stop the use of blades.
After all, even outside Baymard within the other empires, almost everyone walked around with a blade.
Hunters, cooks, Apothecary apprentices who harvested ingredients and so on... A blade was a very common thing for one to carry.
Even travellers had one just in case they had to stab a few people here and there on the way.
But in Baymard, it was very much illegal to be walking around with them.
No. They would prefer people to walk around with pepper sprays and things like that.
If everyone had a kitchen knife in their bags, wouldn't they be like those outside the empire?
So all they could do was monitor and control how it got used.
.
Martha observed the torn pattern sternly:'' The blade that poked a hole through the bag should be between 16~17 inches long, with a wooden handle. As for the other contents in their bags, even though we can't find their Passports or Visa passes, these are Hotel Keys!"
Hotel keys? Hotel keys? HOTEL KEYS!
(*0*)
Hawkin's eyes twinkled as if he had finally solved the last piece to some puzzle.
That's it!
Find what hotel the keys belong to, and the rest was history.
In a flash, Hawkins quickly took out his Walkie-Talkie.
"All units come in!"
