Chapter 92 Detective Exchange Meeting
£2,000? This is enough to make all Beckland bounty hunters and private detectives crazy! This is no longer as "Ltd. General" Zillingers has been floating on the sea for a long time, and is a type that can be touched with your hands...
Well, a big pirate with combat power comparable to Sequence 5 is worth 10,000 pounds. The murderer of Sequence 6 has to pay three or four thousand pounds to be reasonable... Could it be that the night-worthy pirate's judgment on the murderer is the "serial killer" of Sequence 7, rather than the quasi-strong man who is about to be promoted to Sequence 5, so 2,000 pounds is a great premium...
It is very likely that the "Sun" said that the ritual is quite old. Perhaps it rarely appears again after the catastrophe. There is no similar information from several major churches and the military... There is a problem here. The Goddess Church, the Church of Steam and Machinery, and the Royal Augustus family, can also be said to have risen from the catastrophe. Without understanding the past, the Church of Storm has always insisted that it is one of the oldest... Could it be that their oldest is still after the demon retreats to the abyss?
When Klein heard the words of Aisinger Stanton, the first thing that flashed through his mind was the assessment of the amount of the reward, and then he spread his thoughts and thought of many things.
"What is your opinion?" Isinger saw that Sherlock Moriarty seemed a little distracted, so he asked.
My opinion? Klein was a little embarrassed for a moment.
A normal private detective will definitely agree. This is due to the generous reward, and the relationship between a well-known detective opposite him establishes friendship with Aisinger, which will bring great benefits in the circle.
But the problem is that Klein is not a normal private detective. He is worried that when he investigates clues, he will meet the night watchman responsible for the matter.
Although I have a beard, glasses, and changed my hairstyle. I have only seen a few meetings. What if I encounter Ms. Dale? It is not right to not agree. It looks weird and suspicious... Moreover, I also hope to catch the demon sooner, otherwise I don’t know how many innocent girls will be killed... Klein thought about it for a few seconds and smiled slightly:
"I just took over a very troublesome case recently, and I'm afraid there is no spare time."
Before Aisinger Stanton could speak, he added:
"I can participate in the discussion, help me read the information and analyze clues, but I should not go into the specific investigation."
I will do another divination later. If there is really a problem, then I will save my speech during the discussion and be a pure audience... While speaking, Klein quickly had the idea of taking shape.
Aisinger, holding a black cane, pondered for a moment:
“No problem.”
"This time I summoned more than a dozen detectives, and there were enough people to do the investigation. What I admire most about you is your excellent reasoning and analysis skills. Without so many resources from me, I actually went to the Dongbailang Dock and the Dock Union."
"If I can catch the criminal and get the bounty, I will allocate the reward reasonably based on everyone's contribution. Believe me, I still have some credibility in this industry."
"Okay, happy cooperation." Klein took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, shook with the other party, and felt the dryness and warmth of Aisinger's palms.
For a middle-aged and elderly gentleman in his forties or fifties, it is not easy to maintain a similar feeling in the late autumn of Beckland. Accordingly, Klein even more doubted that Aisinger was an extraordinary person.
"Happy cooperation." Aisinger smiled and nodded.
At this time, Klein realized that he was a little rude and hurriedly smiled and said:
"Sorry, I forgot to invite you in. Let's have a good chat with coffee and black tea?"
"You're welcome, I asked those detectives to come to my house to discuss the case at 9 a.m., and my assistant is waiting for them." Aisinger took out a silver pocket watch with complex carvings and mechanical beauty, pressed it and looked at it, "We have to go and meet them, no problem, right?"
"No problem, I'll go to the bathroom, change my clothes and leave." At this moment, Klein suddenly found the feeling of fighting against sin, maintaining order, and protecting the people when he was a night watchman.
In the bathroom, Klein went over the fog and obtained an affordable answer by divination. So he quickly returned to the real world, put on his coat, hat, held his cane, followed Aisinger to a taxi carriage, and sat on the left and right.
Aisinger glanced at him and asked as if he was thinking:
"I'm curious, how did you find out that the murder of Shibel was related to the East Bailang Dock and the Dockworkers Association?"
I didn't realize... it was a misunderstanding... Klein was seriously thinking about how to weave lies.
He smiled and replied vaguely:
"It is mainly to judge that Shibel's death was caused by imitation crimes. This is thanks to the help of reporter Mike Joseph, who confirmed the matter. Based on Shibel's route to return to the 'Golden Rose' and some other clues, I had corresponding speculations, so I pretended to be a reporter to investigate."
Aisinger nodded his head and did not waste his time on this topic. Instead, he introduced the serial murder case in detail, which was more detailed than described in the newspaper, especially the latest one.
Time passed quickly during discussions and exchanges, and the carriage arrived at a slightly outdated building in the Hilston District.
The lighting of the house is not very good. Even if there is no mist in Beckland today, it looks quite dark. Aisinger Stanton led Klein through the relatively spacious living room and into the living room where the fireplace was already lit.
Klein looked around and saw fifteen or sixteen detectives, who filled every seat in the living room.
"Sherlock?" A surprise voice sounded, as if he was very familiar with Klein.
Who? Klein looked over in surprise and found that Detective Stuart, who had just parted yesterday, had appeared here.
He looked carefully and identified Detective Kaslana, who had been responsible for protecting Atoru, and her assistant Lydia.
"What a coincidence." Klein curled up the corners of his mouth and approached Stuart with a smile.
Stuart squeezed to the side, freed up half of his butt seat, and patted:
"Maybe it's not a coincidence. I've mentioned this before in a magazine that there is a phenomenon called synchronicity in psychology, which will happen when you think about it, haha, just kidding."
At this time, Aisinger introduced to the detectives present:
"This is Mr. Sherlock Moriarty, an excellent detective."
With his endorsement, Kaslana and others looked at Klein with a little more trust, thinking that he was indeed an excellent private detective.
After Klein nodded and responded, he sat next to Stuart and asked casually:
"Your commission is over?"
"Yes, the situation in Aturu is getting better, and those bad friends seem to have problems, and they no longer may threaten him, so we are unemployed." Stuart laughed and said, "I originally wanted to take a few days off, but I met Mr. Stanton, so I came over and took a look. Actually, this is good. I don't like to bring some weird and scary cases. Well, I mean the scary kind of ghost stories. In comparison, I would rather take on the murder case!"
After the assistant poured each person a cup of coffee or black tea and distributed the information, Aisinger sat on an easy chair, took out his pipe, and slowly rubbed it:
"I don't think you will feel unfamiliar with this recent serial murder case. Do you have any ideas? Tell me and everyone discuss it."
Stuart, who had a thin face and had less beard, raised his hand and said first:
"I just looked through the information and found that the police did not start investigating the identity of the deceased."
"I think that criminal could not recognize the victim with his eyes just by relying on his eyes. He must have had contact with them. This is a very important direction. The police actually missed it! God, this is simply incredible!"
The criminal was probably recognized by his eyes... Krain silently said to himself.
Most private detectives agreed to Stuart's doubts, but only two or three others, including Kaslana, Aisinger, remained silent and did not speak.
"This is a very important direction. Stuart, please ask some friends to help you and check it carefully." After the discussion subsided, Aisinger gave a smooth comment.
In the following time, the detectives expressed their opinions, sometimes quarreling, loudly refuting, sometimes standing up and pacing, and sorting out their thoughts. Klein kept listening quietly without expressing any opinions.
When the exchange was about to end, he suddenly raised his hand and said:
"I want Beckland, and even the entire Kingdom, the serial murder data that has not been solved in the last twenty years."
The room suddenly became quiet for a few seconds, and most private detectives failed to understand Klein's intention and thoughts for a while.
Aisinger put his pipe in front of his nose, took a breath, and said with a thought:
"You think the murderer wasn't the first offense?"
"You suspect he had committed similar crimes before, even if the methods of committing the crime are not the same?"
It's not doubt, it's almost certain... Klein answered in his heart.
This is his reasoning based on the information provided by the "Sun":
Since the murderer is "working" for the promotion of Sequence 6 to Sequence 5, what did he do in the "Serial Killer" stage of Sequence 7?
If he has not committed a similar crime, it will be difficult for him to digest the potion. Even if he has accumulated time, there is a great probability that he will lose control of the sequence 7 and Sequence 6. The extraordinary people in the "Abyss" path are high-risk patients in this regard.
Therefore, Klein judged that regardless of whether the other party understood the "acting method", he should have completed serial murders in the 7th stage of the sequence for various reasons.
In this way, the other party will not use the potion of Sequence 7 for a few years. Even if Sequence 6 is added, the range of twenty years is reasonable enough, because if you are too old, no matter whether the potion is digested or not, promotion will be quite dangerous. As the ritual deepens, the whole person will become more and more crazy, leaving obvious clues.
At this stage, the murderer was calm in committing the crime and had the ability to interfere with divination and tracking. There were almost no loopholes, but he was not necessarily the case in his early years!
When he completed the serial murder case for the first time, he was most likely not so cautious!
This is the best clue to be traced!
Many thoughts flashed by, and Klein nodded and responded:
"That criminal's method of committing crimes is not like a rookie."
“I have reason to believe he has done something similar before!”
"Combining the past and the present, we have more hope to grasp the key to the problem."
Hearing his answer, the detectives whispered and started to talk. After a brief silence, Aisinger sincerely exclaimed:
“Great idea!”
Chapter completed!
