Chapter 532 - LOOKING AT PATTERNS (1/2)

Akira did not respond despite her subtle smile. She did not want to share her thoughts with people she did not know. Furthermore, she needed to be cautious while working in an orthodox branch of the government defence ministry.

If she was not careful, she could fall into a trap.

This precaution was the reason she was not willing to handle her work through the provided CAB system. Furthermore, she used a small trick to conceal her keystrokes as soon as she sat at the workstation.

She did not need to be a genius to know that the CAB monitored their systems rigorously.

”You can go back. I will share the information if I find something.” Akira said to the technician.  .

The woman looked at Akira again before returning to her workstation. She was a little curious about the small lady who could gain clearance through the minister directly. However, she did not want to think too much about things that did not involve her.

As a new staff member in the department, her status was not good. She could not afford mistakes. And in their trade, mistakes happened when a person started minding other people's business. It was better to keep the head down.

”So, what is the 411 on the new girl?” One of the girls near her asked.

”Why is she joining the CAB when she is so heavily pregnant?” A man nearby could also not help his nosiness.

The technician settled on her menial task of reviewing and summarising the information sent to her. She was in charge of compiling the data and writing reports. The task was not complicated, but she was satisfied with her job.

”I did not ask, and she did not tell me anything.” She replied.

”You are as boring as ever.” The other girl rolled her eyes.

As the small group returned to their work, Akira was digging through the history of the criminals dubbed as Bonnie and Clyde. She had noticed a strange pattern based on the information she got from the report on the CAB's finding.

She was familiar with some of the cases attributed to the two people. Of course, it was not unusual for her to have seen some of those scenes because she often did a lot of research for the Immortal Sword Brigade. The thing that bothered her was the underlying nature of the bombing cases.

One of the incidents she remembered was the bombing of a military school. She remembered that case because the incident was reported with a lot of sensationalism on the media. Moreover, at the time, there was a pending case in the Immortal Sword Brigade.

Her fingers flew over the keyboard as she brought up the case file from that bombing. The school was a reformation institute, but it was politely known as a military school because it emphasized the values of loving the country and practising discipline like the actual army.

However, if one looked deeper, Brownstone Institute was a juvenile delinquent centre.

There was nothing wrong with building a reformation centre if it taught good values and helped in reshaping the minds of lost youths. But that was not the case with Brownstone. The institute was a place where the rich dumped their embarrassing children.
