Chapter 358 Clues to the Crescent Moon Saber
"Where is the video footage you took from the casino?" Billy asked after some thought. Hearing thatNight Orchid had been taken away by Central Sky Office eased his concerns a bit. Regardless ofwho had been newly assigned to Central Sky Office, anyone in such a position couldn't possiblymake a snap judgment based on just a video.
Moreover, if Central Sky Office intended to deal with Night Orchid, they would have informed him inadvance. Everyone knew that Billy was fiercely protective of his subordinates. If any departmentdared to handle his people without notifying him, the entire capital city might not withstand hiswrath.
"It's right here," Ollie Ray said as he took an electronic device from one of his subordinates."Commander Gardner, due to my duties, I can't send the video externally, but you can view it here."
With that, he handed the device over to Billy. Judge received the device and brought it to Billy. Justas described by Brigham Bush, the woman in the video bore an uncanny resemblance to NightOrchid, making it nearly impossible to distinguish them.
"Such impressive disguise skills!" Judge couldn't help but exclaim.
"Stop!" After a few minutes of playing the video, Billy spoke up with a stern tone.
"Yes?" Judge immediately paused the video and looked at Billy. "What's wrong, boss?"
"Zoom in on the scimitar!" Billy instructed.
"Alright!" Judge nodded and followed the order.
"Can you see anything now?" asked Billy.
"What exactly are you looking for?" Judge seemed puzzled.
"This scimitar, whether it's the length, width, the patterns on the blade, or the platinum material onthe hilt, is identical to ours. I can't discern..." Judge stopped abruptly, and his eyes suddenly lit up."Boss, do you mean...?"novelbin
"Alright, let's go!" Billy dismissed the issue. "Deputy Ray, sorry for the trouble, and we're leaving."
"Never mind, Commander Gardner." Ollie Ray took the smart phone from Judge and said whilebowing.
"Sir, what did they find in the video?" one of Special Patrol Squadron officers asked after Billy andhis group left.
"I have no idea," Ollie Ray replied with a bewildered expression.
Before this, he had thoroughly compared Night Orchid's scimitar with the one in the video and foundno differences.
"Judge, did you find any clues about that scimitar?" Stout asked after they got into the car.
"None," Judge replied bluntly. "It's identical to Night Orchid's."
"So, what were you trying to say earlier?" Stout was confused.
"The resemblance is remarkable." Judge said, somewhat philosophically. "When anything pursuesperfection excessively, it tends to create problems."
Judge, a rough man, unexpectedly dropped a philosophical statement.
"What do you mean by that?" Stout was still puzzled.
"Cold Moon Sabers for governors of SHADOW and the Bloodshadow Battle Blade used by theArmy Commander or higher-ranking officers, both come from the hands of a grandmasterblacksmith within the territory." Judge explained. "Every one of the blades is meticulouslyhandcrafted, and anyone attempting to replicate it to such perfection would find it nearlyimpossible."
"Judge, is that blacksmith you're talking about, is he Blade Lord form Blade Sect?" Stout asked,sounding somewhat surprised.
"You know quite a bit, don't you, chubby?" Judge was a bit surprised.
Stout continued, "So you're saying that this assassin's scimitar is also made by Blade Lord?"
"Most likely," Judge nodded in agreement.
"In that case, I have one question," Stout said, "Why would Blade Lord remake a scimitar identicalto the one he gave to Night Orchid? He should know that if such a scimitar were to circulate insociety, it would cause problems."
"This scimitar couldn't have come from Blade Lord." Billy decisively replied.
"Why not?" Judge looked puzzled.
"Don't forget, Blade Lord once said there is another blacksmith in the territory who is on par withhim in the field of weapon forging." Billy explained.
"His junior, Blade Lunatic?" asked Judge. That was the name suddenly hit him.
"I also remembered, Blade Lord once said his junior was always unhappy that their master passedon the position of the Blade Sect's master to him. Later, Blade Lunatic left the Blade Sect andfounded his own sect, the Mad Blade Sect."
"Yes," Billy confirmed.
"That's him! Damn it!" Judge suddenly realized.
"Where should we go now? Should we go to the base of Central Sky Office?" asked Brigham Bush.
"No," Billy shook his head in response. "Find the location of Mad Blade Sect. We're going therefirst."
At the moment, the only breakthrough in this matter was that blade, so they needed to follow thislead.
"Got it!" Brigham Bush took out his phone to send a message.
Billy then retrieved his own phone and dialed Donald's number.
"Have you arrived in the capital?" Donald's voice came through the phone.
Clearly, he knew that with Night Orchid involved in such a big incident, Billy would definitely come tothe capital.
"Hello, Donald," Billy replied. "I've just arrived."
"Do you have any leads on Night Orchid's case?" Donald continued to inquire.
"Yes," Billy responded. "However, I'll need some time, so I might trouble you to protect Night Orchidfor a while..."
"How long?" Donald interrupted him.
"Three days," Billy replied after a brief pause.
"Alright," Donald replied decisively. "I promise no one will dare to harm a hair on Night Orchid'shead within three days."
"Thank you, Donald."
"These people are ruthless. Now that you got a lead, thoroughly investigate it. No matter who isinvolved, punish them severely." Donald said with a solemn tone.
"Understood," Billy said before hanging up the phone.
With Donald's assurance, Night Orchid would be safe within three days.
On the other end of the phone call, after Donald hung up, he lit a cigarette and took a drag, his faceturning grim.
"Is Billy in the capital?" The Elder walked in, wearing an equally grim expression.
"With such a big incident, could he not come?" Donald handed a cigarette to the Elder.
"There's a lot of commotion outside now. They say the surveillance footage from the scene is crystalclear, and there's no doubt that Night Orchid is the assassin!" The Elder took the cigarette, lit it, andtook a puff.
"Do you believe it was her?" Donald asked as he took a drag from his own cigarette.
"Even if I don't believe it was Night Orchid, I have to believe in that kid Billy!" The Elder chuckled.
"Even if the culprit were his people, he wouldn't need anyone else to do this!"
"What's your first thought? Who do you think might be behind this?" Donald continued to inquire.
