247 Suggestion of Disintegrating Equipmen (1/2)
TinyMeatball didn't obtain useful information, but he figured out the strange incidents were caused by a massive migration of Eternal Kingdom inhabitants.
As long as the investigation continued on Eternal Kingdom's Gnomes and Houndhead Men who came to Winterfell to work, there would be results.
After he questioned TakeASpearHit and the construction site supervisor and confirmed that TakeASpearHit was a diligent worker, he went to other construction sites to investigate.
The investigation process was hard. The Gnomes and Houndhead Men seemed to know some information, but when TinyMeatball asked an important question, they would decline to answer or say that they didn't know. Very few of them had the reaction of TakeASpearHit, who said, ”Gosh! Is that a crime?”
Or similar shocked expressions.
After half a day of tedious investigation, TinyMeatball returned back to the station with Peanut. On the way, they discussed the details of the cases.
”Captain TinyMeatball, the cases are complex.”
Peanut was solemn and felt that the cases were tricky.
”Peanut, tell me what you think.”
TinyMeatball passed his journal to Peanut. The journal had the words:
”Eternal Kingdom”, ”Close to 2,000 creatures”, ”Green words above their heads”, ”Work diligently”, ”Don't want salary”, and ”Pacify with one or two Magic Stones”.
Peanut frowned and said, ”Captain, Winterfell will be badly affected!”
”Hmm, that is indeed so.” TinyMeatball was happy that Peanut realized that.
”If everyone is like that Houndhead Man, we'll lose our jobs soon! They are very terrifying!” Peanut said with fear.
TinyMeatball glanced at Peanut and took back his journal. He pointed at the words ”Crime rate skyrocketing”, ”Suddenly vanish”, ”Hem and haw”, ”Strange behavior”, and ”More than meets the eye”.
Then, TinyMeatball said, ”It's obvious. Can't you see?”
”You are saying…” Peanut had thought of a possibility and looked at TinyMeatball as he said, ”These Eternal Kingdom Gnomes and Houndhead Men have orders to flood Winterfell, and it's highly possible that Lord Sherlock gave the orders. His motive is to earn our Magic Stones and increase their wealth!”
”Wrong! Extremely wrong!” TinyMeatball shouted, ”Are you a fool? With Lord Sherlock's status, does he need his servants to make money? This is a cross-boundary criminal organization! These Gnomes and Houndhead Men have unspeakable evil conspiracies. These cases are too bizarre. Working without a salary is outrageous! Thinking of the Gnome who knows mathematical formulas, I have reason to believe they are spreading the Dark Gospel. That's terrifying.”
TinyMeatball lit up a Uranium stick and puffed in deeply. His eyes were full of wit as he said, ”It's time for me to show my prowess. Peanut, bring some guards and watch over the Gnomes and Houndhead Men at the construction sites. Then find out which shops have these working creatures and watch them as well.”
”Er, Captain, we only have 30 to 40 guards, but there are more than a thousand of them…” Peanut said. He was in a dilemma.
”Are you trash? Can't a guard watch over 70 to 80 of them? If you can't do it, submit your resignation letter to me tomorrow!”
TinyMeatball waved his hand, and Peanut agreed to make the arrangements.
TinyMeatball felt that he was very close to the truth. TinyMeatball wasn't convinced that they were here for Magic Stones. This must be a huge criminal organization. They were evil, ugly, and chaotic!
TinyMeatball felt he had heavy responsibilities. He pondered upon the cases as he returned to the Garrison Guard station. Then he saw a strong Orc in office lady clothing. The Orc ran over to TinyMeatball and said, ”Captain, you're finally back. Many creatures are looking for you!”
The strong Orc secretary spoke in a panic and immediately pulled TinyMeatball towards the Garrison Guard Main Hall.
”What's up, Cherry?”
TinyMeatball was pulled by his secretary, who said, ”A lot of creatures came to find you. They want to provide leads for the cases!”
”What! Where are they? Bring me to them quickly!”
