Chapter 323 The Hunter's Distinguished Background

Have you discovered the best way to cook?

Milo glanced at Rick.

The latter shook his head frantically and presented Milo with a long list of documents:

"No, no, no, all these victims have one thing in common: they were all infected with the virus during the Great Plague and all recovered through blood therapy."

"Blood healing technique?"

Milo stopped in his tracks.

His mind raced for a moment.

He then shook his head: "The probability is too high. More than half of the people in Nanwei City have received blood healing, so it's not of much reference value."

That's true, but both Raven and Dillash have mentioned that Blood Healing has side effects, and that the calamity in the prophecy was brought about by Blood Healing. But that's a secret. Milo doesn't care about the truth, but he doesn't want to be the one to reveal the secret for now, as that would cause trouble.

From the very first mysterious case to the present, it seems that all the events are inextricably linked to the Great Plague and the Blood Healing Technique.

Robben's deceased daughter was a beneficiary of blood healing, and the Raven's purpose in going to the town of Icam three years ago was also to find a divine body to replenish the church's blood bank...

To this day, the Church still does not know what the calamity of the Blood Healing Technique is, but it is clear that they have been monitoring Nanwei City, sending clerks like Dirasha to search for clues in the city.

"Your eyes have recovered?"

Milo noticed that Rick's "red eye" seemed to have disappeared.

"I received some medication and I'm temporarily back to normal," Rick nodded.

"That's good."

Without a word, Milo pulled Grasso up the stairs.

He told Grasso to wait in the hallway, then went into his office and locked the door.

……

In the office, the injured Eric and his companions hadn't been idle either; Garcia had thoroughly searched the database.

Before Milo left, he gave him a name—Monquia.

He has now uncovered and compiled information about Monquia's true identity.

……

“Monquia Kkao”.

The first page of the document contains detailed information about the Koca family.

Milo glanced through it, his expression slightly surprised.

He hadn't expected this visionary hunter to be so powerful.

The surname Kro is quite well-known in the country and the southeastern seas.

Because the current general in the war of maritime expansion and plunder is a member of this family.

Du Kecao.

To be precise, he was a key figure in the rise of the Kocao family.

Before the colonies were developed, the K'cao were just an obscure middle-class family, so small that they could hardly be called a family, but rather a household.

Du Kecao started out as a regular captain in the navy, but he quickly distinguished himself in colonial operations with his ruthless methods and efficient plundering capabilities.

The vast wealth he amassed from the seas quickly paved the way for his rise through the ranks in the navy, eventually leading him to the position of admiral.

To put it bluntly, he is one of the rumored top figures in the Solomon Islands. In terms of status and position, he should be the second-in-command among the top leaders.

Moreover, because the organization is better known by the surname Solomon, Krocáo did not become a distinctive synonym.

However, in the eyes of the higher-ups, the direct relationship between Kroos and Solomon was no secret.

……

The man who is now turning Nanwei City upside down, Monquia Kekao, is none other than the youngest son of Admiral Du Kekao.

There isn't much information about Monquia left in the interior. The only photo in the archive is his last ID photo when he was nearly seven years old. The childlike face in the black and white photo bears no resemblance whatsoever to the hunter that Milo encountered in the night rain. However, Milo was able to recognize Monquia from the eyes of the seven-year-old child in the blurry photo.

He was the son of a colonial naval general and a high-ranking Solomon.

But why?

Why did Solomon allow Monquea to carry out this series of hunting missions, and what is the relationship between Solomon and the Raven?
What puzzled Milo the most was why Raven would reveal this information to him.

……

From the perspective of the dead hunter's spirit, most of the memories were distorted, leaving only Raven's words and Monquia's name.

Clearly, these are clues given out by Chunbai.

It was done intentionally by the raven.

But the hunters led by Monquia were acting on the Raven's will, hunting down those he believed had fallen into the abyss; he was working for the Raven.

But the raven subtly sold him to Milo.

Even just one name is enough: from the colonies, the Solomon Islands, having received rigorous and professional military training, and having participated in wars—all this information combined makes it easy to pinpoint the Koca family with a simple search.

Milo felt no joy at all after learning Monquia's identity.

He knew perfectly well that these clues were utterly useless. No matter how he used the information, it would be tantamount to working for Raven. It was very likely that Raven, far away overseas, had already anticipated any choice Milo might make, and might even be expecting something...

……

"Okay, I see."

Milo nodded and put away the documents on the table.

Eric, standing nearby, gestured in sign language—"Your boss is also investigating Monquia's information, and he should be able to find out about this soon too."

"No rush, let her investigate."

Milo stuffed the documents back into the inside pocket of his trench coat and then asked:
"How are you guys doing, you've all been shot?"

“He won’t die for now, but he won’t recover so quickly either,” Eric replied.

"Keep resting, but I reckon things won't stay this calm forever; something bad will probably happen soon." Milo rubbed his temples.

"Is this what you're talking about?"

Eric picked up a recent newspaper from the table.

The newspaper article featured County Councillor Max Johnson, the inspector, and his speeches in the streets.

The patrol team chose the most high-profile way to announce its entry, perhaps in order to quickly win people's hearts, but this also requires the patrol team to quickly resolve the hunter crisis in Nanwei City, otherwise Max would be shooting himself in the foot.

Regardless of the patrol team's crime-solving abilities, Milo hoped that the two groups could meet soon.

Old Theon had said that this was not something a lowly enforcer like them could control, but in reality, Milo didn't need to do anything; a confrontation between the two sides was only a matter of time.
