Chapter 13: The first ritual site

*While David is being introduced to Ezekiel, what the Investigators and Detectives do*

Detective 2:"Is everyone here now? Can we open the folder or?"

Detective 1: "I think we're all here now. Let's go ahead and open the folder. We need to gather as much information as possible to understand the nature of these killings."

Investigator 1: "Agreed. Let's see what the post-mortem examination reports have to say."

As the folder is opened, the detectives and investigators gather around to review the contents. Inside, they find detailed reports, photographs, and descriptions of the victims' bodies. The images and descriptions are disturbing, showcasing the gruesome nature of the murders.

Detective 3: "This is horrific. The level of violence and brutality is beyond anything I've seen before."

Investigator 2: "It's evident that the killer had a specific intent and carried out these acts with precision. We need to find out what connects these victims and who could be capable of such atrocities."

Detective 1: "Let's start by examining the cause of death. Did the medical examiner find any commonalities?"

Investigator 1: "According to the reports, all victims suffered from severe mutilation, particularly to their eyes and flesh. The cause of death appears to be a combination of exsanguination and organ removal."

Detective 2: "So, we're dealing with a sadistic killer who not only takes lives but also inflicts unimaginable pain and suffering."

The detectives and investigators delve deeper into the reports, looking for any patterns or clues that may lead them to the killer. They discuss the possibility of a cult connection and the significance of the victims' involvement in the occult. With each piece of information, the puzzle starts to take shape, albeit with more questions than answers.

Detective 3: "We need to find out more about this occult and its leader, Ezekiel. There may be a connection between the victims and Ezekiel's activities."

Investigator 2: "Agreed. We should focus our investigation on Ezekiel and his cult. There's a high probability that he knows more than he's letting on."

As the investigation intensifies, the detectives and investigators prepare to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and confront Ezekiel and his cult. The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking as they race against time to uncover the truth and bring the killer to justice.

Detective 3:"Sooo, Ms.? uhm Dr. Where you able to decipher the rest?"

Dr. Reynolds: "Yes, I was able to decipher the remaining parts of the encrypted messages. It seems that the killer has left us a trail of clues, albeit in a cryptic manner."

Detective 1: "That's a positive development. What do the messages say?"

Dr. Reynolds: "The messages seem to be pointing towards a hidden location, possibly a secret lair or hideout. They mention a place of darkness and whispers, where the truth lies hidden. It's likely that the killer wants us to discover this location and uncover their motives."

Detective 2: "Do we have any leads on where this hidden location might be?"

Dr. Reynolds: "Based on the context of the messages, it appears to be tied to the occult and Ezekiel's cult. There are references to their rituals and the supernatural realm they inhabit. We should focus our investigation on the cult and their activities to uncover the truth."

Detective 3: "We should also consider the possibility of an inside informant. Someone who might have knowledge of the cult's secrets and is feeding information to the killer."
