Nolan saw for himself that Jose wasn't messing around with his statement. As soon as he heard Jose's report, the patrol police immediately moved in. They are taken to the headquarters for their report to be recorded, and the necessary letters immediately go down once they see Jose issuing his family emblem.
Both Nolan and Jose were asked to wait in the North, but both refused. They have to see firsthand what's going on.
In addition to the police, there were also calls from the fire department and paramedics. The large group attracted the attention of many people. South Bjork residents who initially only peek timid now blatantly out out of curiosity.

Jose noticed uniformed officers using the stairs as a bridge to cross to save the woman in white dress who had been an additional display in the dark forest.
Two officers pulled Jose and Nolan, asked for identities and reprimanded the two for civil reasons.
Initially, the officers gave an unpleasant cold treatment. But once the Argent name was recorded on the check file, everyone immediately turned more lenient and friendly.
"Argent," Nolan said as the two officers left. "That's a god's name or what? Everyone is so scared of you."
Jose replied with a faint smile. He reached out his hand forward, pointing at some people with an imperceptible quick movement. "That, that, that and that one. They owe it to my family" he said. He looked at Nolan. "It's easier to control someone if we know their weakness, and everyone's weakness here is neatly recorded in my head."
Nolan's nape bristles. He had never seen Jose this cold before. "Well, champ," he said, raising his voice so as not to lose to trepidation. "Use the data in your head so we can drink hot! I'm freezing!"
Jose laughs. "It's just a nurse's question."
They approached the paramedics' white car to ask for a warm drink. No one rejected Jose.
Paramedics gave both of them a warm drink. Nolan accepted it with pleasure, though his head could not keep still. The girl constantly looked to the right and to the left, sometimes waving into the distance at people she knew, who came to see the commotion.
Jose observed the officers who had walked over the artificial bridge. He feels uncomfortable.
That woman is dead. His body was carried on a stretcher, with a white blanket over his body.
His body was already experiencing full stiffness. It was likely already more than twelve hours of death. Jose saw some forensic officers coming in whispering to each other, speaking in a lowered voice. The whisper was passed on to the investigator, passed on to Patrol Officer Bjork, passed on again to Inspector Robert, who whispered to Marco.
Uncle Marco?
Jose blinked his eyes. He didn't look wrong. It was indeed his uncles, Marco and Rolan. It was no wonder his two uncles came. After all, the one who found the body was the son of the Argent family. And Rolan and Marco will certainly come if there is a strange incident in Bjork. They're like Bjork's face.
"The woman is dead." Nolan tilted his head towards Jose as he whispered.
Jose just nodded. His eyes were still watching the movements of his two uncles. Neither Rolan nor Marco approached him. Both men were busy with their own business.
"What?"
"On the body. You think it's just a coincidence? Come to think of it again, why are we walking down the river?" Nolan said slowly. Several police patrols were nearby, conversing in a quiet voice, but Nolan knew that they were putting their ears up and listening. He always hated government dogs.
Jose glanced at Nolan, knowing what the girl meant. When asked by the detectives, they said they were there for a walk, just a fad down the river after failing to fish. Judging from the detective's eyes, Jose knew that his description was in doubt. After all, the police will always doubt the answers that come.
Neither Jose nor Nolan, no one is open-mouthed about the real reason they are there. Other than not wanting to add any length to the matter, they both felt that no one would believe that they said they were investigating the Black Ghost, then find out what's in the woods across from a servant's hallucination.
"But what if it's not a hallucination?" nolan whispered, his head was shaken closer to Jose. They were both sitting on one of the branches of a tree that collapsed across, next to a fire engine. To get to this place, firefighters do have to dig through the forest with difficulty. Fortunately, the northernmost forest south of Bjork is quite deserted because it is often passed by humans. The path that is usually passed by residents of southern Bjork is now seen widening. The clumps and young trees were scattered on the right and left, like elephants had passed.
Car tires had jumped into the ground while down the river bank, making officers arrive late.
Marco himself came half an hour after forensic officers finished circling the scene with a black, yellow ribbon that was like a bee. Inspector Robert comes to her in a hurry, informing her that his nephew found a human figure in the inner Bjork forest area. Marco calls Rolan to come along and violently drives William away from his home. He knew that he had violated his own ethics and manners which he held very high when ignoring the hands of Sir William, but Marco had his own reasons. The young man was wearing a strange ring, making Marco wary and thinking in case a poisonous needle was thrown in there. Strange surprises in his life have led Marco to train himself for the worst. Especially if his feelings say that something is strange.
When he reached the scene, Marco was a little disappointed to see the large number of civilians roaming around thanks to the furore the firefighters caused. Not even the patrolling police were able to disperse the commoners from South Bjor.
What makes Marco even more upset is when he sees Jose with Nolan. His eyes briefly met the young man's black eyes, but Marco quickly diverted them. He would interrogate the child when he got home.
"Here for a moment, Marc," Rolan appeared to approach and whispered suddenly next to him, breaking Marco's daydream. The doctor's hand was clenching Marco's arm. They walked to a slightly quieter side, far from the reach of nosy ears. "There's something strange about this body."
"Why?" reply Marco alert. "What else is weird?"
"Blood is not exhausted. He died out of breath. It seems like it was eighteen hours ago."
"Oh, what an accident?" There was a disappointed tone in Marco's tone of voice. He looked into Rolan's brown eyes, catching a tinge of unease there. "It doesn't seem like it, does it?"
Rolan. "Marc, although the modus operandi is different, but the culprit is the same. There are the same traces."
"When did you say, to those bodies there is no other characteristic than a hole in the skin?" hiss Marco. Both eyes narrowed.
"No, because I haven't seen a corpse as intact as this one," Rolan rubbed his neck, staring around with a subtle gesture. "One more important thing. Someone moved the body."
"You mean, paramedics?" Marco frowned, increasingly clueless as to which direction Rolan was taking this conversation. A cold wind blew between them, making him faintly shiver. Marco regretted not bringing a warmer coat.
"No. It's strange, Marc," Rolan stared past his glasses, a gaze that implied mystery. "The body was just put there. No trace of the eighteen-hour-old corpse. He died somewhere else and was deliberately put there. Forensic officers also felt this was very strange."
