It was a dirty, uncomfortable sort of case, really. At this point, ghoul investigations and exterminations were held and conducted primarily by the CCG exclusively, but...in instances where humans were involved, they had to take it through the judicial system. After all, one couldnât hold humans to the same laws regulating ghouls, but at the same time, it was a legal criminal case to protect or hide the identities of ghouls.Â
The Quinx squad had been directly involved in this investigation, though already they were assigned to another undercover operation. As the deputy squad captain, Saiko had been left to clean up the âmessâ left by this one, and that...well, involved meeting with the police, still working on the scene, and offering whatever assistance she could to help build the case against the human whoâd been not only hiding their ghoul loverâs identity, but had... been assisting the ghoul with âfeedingâ after they had been injured in combat with the doves
It was conflicting to see how a human could fall to love a âmonsterâ so dearly that theyâd murder to help them.
Sheâd been on this murder site late last night-- and the blood of the ghoul that had been killed here the night before still stained the street below. The human had attacked them with a baseball bat the moment theyâd stepped into the apartment to check for more ghouls, though theyâd been subdued easily and were now in jail.Â
âItâs way too early for this,â Saiko complained as she pushed past one of the police officers keeping guard at the front of the roped off apartment, knowing she was supposed to meet the prosecutor inside; she just happened to be twenty minutes late.Â
...At least theyâd removed the bodies of the humans the man had brought to their apartment to feed his ghoul girlfriend while she was injured. That smell lingered to her sensitive nose, but it had been gruesome to see. âWho am I supposed to talk to here?â She finally questioned aloud, upon coming into a room with three people. Perhaps other investigators for the police, though with the CCG involved they were out of their jurisdiction. Was one of them the criminal prosecutor...?
