The light rain that started in the afternoon has been continuous, and it has not stopped until the evening, and it even has a growing trend. Xia De expected the rain to stop before the night operation, but until Dr. Schneider and Miss Louisa came to the door, the rain was still pattering down.
The rainwater merged into a curtain and fell under the eaves at the door of Xia De's house, like beads falling. The warm yellow gas lights in the courtyard were bright, blurred by the rain. In the strange halo, the doctor wearing rain boots arrived at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square first on this humid night, followed by Miss Louisa who came in a carriage.
"Good evening, Shad."
The doctor was surprised when she called Shad by her first name. But he didn't say anything, middle-aged men don't care about the relationship between young people.
There are two targets tonight, Mr. Ponton of Chengdong Steam Engine Special Screw Factory and Mr. Roosevelt, accountant of Xingxingcao Public Tobesk Nursing Home. After the three met, they compared the city map in Xia De's study to plan the course of action.
Finally decided to go to the accountant Mr. Roosevelt first.
According to Mr. Schneider's investigation during the day, the accountant would live in the nursing home on weekdays and would only go home on Sundays, and the Xingxingcao nursing home is closer to Saint Teresa Square.
With Dr. Schneider's payment, a group of three got into the carriage and rushed to the nursing home. The rainy summer is exceptionally cool, and the city is silent in the sound of the rain. The gas lamps in the upper town and the candlelight in the lower town are all part of this era.
Star Grass Nursing Home is a public nursing home, of course, it also needs to spend some gold pounds to enter. The three got off the car at the intersection, Xia De and Miss Louisa held guards on both sides of the street under umbrellas, and Dr. Schneider entered the nursing home alone.
There will be no pedestrians on such a rainy night, and the surroundings seem to be surrounded by humid air and darkness. Standing at the intersection and looking around, Xia De also thought that if the behavior of peeping through the door in the alley when he visited the girl Sophie last Saturday night was like a horror story, then the scene now is probably similar to a detective or an agent .
It only took fifteen minutes for the blue-eyed doctor to walk out of the nursing home wrapped in a coat, and it seemed that the operation was smooth.
"I entered his dream, and saw what the blood of mercury told him to keep. A black cloak, and a colorful biscuit box that must not be opened. The former cannot be exposed to sunlight, and the latter I have the impression, that It is a poet-level relic [Cannibal Biscuit Box], which can devour living people and turn them into biscuits. These are not what I am looking for."
He lowered his voice in the rain and said, waving to the two:
"I got another piece of information in my dream. Accountant Roosevelt helped [Blood of Mercury] sell stolen goods. I don't know anything about them. There are no more clues here. Let's go, the next target."
Dr. Schneider's dream ability is really convenient for dealing with ordinary people.
Mr. Ponton, who owns a steam engine special screw factory in the east of the city, is not a powerful and rich man in a place like Tobesk. He had his own big house on the East Side of Tobesk, about twice the size of the Shaders' lot.
This is a dedicated residential area, and the people who can live here have at least crossed the bottom line of the so-called "middle class".
It was still Xia De and Miss Louisa standing guard outside, and Dr. Schneider quickly climbed over the fence outside the yard and followed the gravel path to find the direction of the bedroom.
He came back faster this time, Xia De has the [Time Perception] ability, and accurately knows that he only took two minutes and eighteen seconds.
Not only Xia De was surprised, but even Miss Louisa was surprised by the doctor's quick arrival. The three held their umbrellas and listened to the sound of the rain. When they met at the gate of Mr. Ponton's house, Miss Louisa congratulated:
"Doctor, your thaumaturgy is getting better and better. Half an hour ago it took ten minutes, but now it takes three minutes to get information from the dream."
"What is getting stronger and stronger? Something big happened..."
Thunder flashed across the air, and the sudden white light illuminated Miss Louisa's somewhat wet hair, and illuminated the thick expression of disbelief on Dr. Schneider's face.
Then, the rumbling thunder sounded from a distance, and that sound seemed to shake the entire world.
Xia De, who was also in the rain, looked at the dark street from the corner of his eye, and the hand holding the umbrella felt the vibration of the dense raindrops hitting the umbrella surface. The lights of gas street lamps on the street become even dimmer on rainy nights. The light can only be shrunk to a small area under the street lamps, and even flying insects can't be seen flying around the street lamps.
Xia De doesn't like this kind of weather, and now he is very envious of cats who can lie on the window sill and listen to the sound of rain in a warm and dry home.
Regardless of the rain, the doctor stretched out his finger to the mansion in the night rain behind him. Xia De came back to his senses, and Miss Louisa followed closely:
"Everyone in it is dead."
Generally speaking, correspondence ring warlocks will not take the initiative to participate in troublesome things that have nothing to do with themselves. But because of the [Forged Philosopher's Stone], the five members of the team almost faced the evil **** directly in Lake View Manor. Now even if everyone inside is dead, the doctor will not give up on the investigation.
On the contrary, the death of an ordinary person related to Mercury's blood just shows that there is a high possibility of important clues in him.
In order to prevent the Orthodox Church from causing trouble for the reason of "destroying the crime scene", before entering the house with only dead people, the doctor prepared shoe covers, gloves and hats for everyone, and Miss Louisa tied the long Hair tied up. Of course they couldn't predict what would happen tonight, but according to the doctor, it was his habit to take these things with him when he went out for action.
It was hard for Xia De to imagine what kind of "big thing" Dr. Schneider had done.
The house is divided into three floors, and the doctor just entered through the window. But now that it was confirmed that there were no living people inside, they entered directly through the main entrance. Instead of using thaumaturgy or spells to unlock the lock, the female writer poked it a few times with a hairpin, and the lock opened.
Entering through the main entrance, moisture immediately poured into the interior of the house. The house was pitch black, and suddenly a thunderbolt pierced the night sky. In the light of the lightning, they saw a woman dressed as a servant lying in the hallway, with a black blood stain under her body.
The psychiatrist knelt down to examine the corpse, Shad and Miss Louisa hid their umbrellas in the shadows by the door, and they all entered the house. Closing the door blocked the sound of the rain and prevented passers-by from discovering the clues.
The psychiatrist's autopsy skills are also quite good. He continued to examine the fatal injuries with the dim light in his hand, and the light spell was indeed a very common spell:
"A weapon similar to a dagger pierced directly into the heart, killing him with one blow. The technique is very sophisticated."
"Could it be that the dagger-like relics he kept got out of control?"
Because of the "Fish Scale" incident last week, Xia De thought of this possibility, and Miss Louisa seemed to think the same way.
"The possibility cannot be ruled out..."
The doctor looked into the surrounding darkness and asked again:
"Your other me, do you feel the whisper element?"
Both Xia De and Miss Louisa made postures of listening attentively:
"No."
Both said.
But this can't explain anything, even if the relic is out of control, it won't cause the element to be felt 800 miles away. The last time they faced that murloc, Xia De and Miss Louisa only got a hint when they saw that guy.
Dr. Schneider stepped aside, and Xia De and Miss Louisa stepped forward to examine the corpse. But they couldn't find anything. Xia De's fingertips were shining with a faint silver light. Under the light, he looked at the dead eyes of the corpse.
Thinking of something in his mind, he blinked his eyes. Although the moisture of the rain pouring in from outside the door diluted the **** smell, he could still see very faint bloodstains in the air, extending towards the inside of the house.
There is no reason why the knife as the murder weapon should not be stained with blood.
Then I tried the thaumaturgy [Echo of the Past], but unfortunately all I heard were messy life fragments. The place where people live like this is not a good scene for this spell to work.
"Did you see the blood?"
Seeing Xia De's eyes staring ahead, the blonde girl who had worked with Xia De once asked in a low voice.
Xia De nodded, taking advantage of Miss Louisa's explanation to the doctor, he turned his head to look at the door, and suppressed his voice so that his voice just overwhelmed the sound of the rain outside:
"There is no bloodstain in the direction of the door, and the bloodstain extends to the inside of the house. This shows that the possible murderer continued to go inward after committing the crime here, and has never returned."
He analyzed in a low voice.
"As expected of a detective!"
Dr. Schneider also lowered his voice and patted Xia De on the shoulder:
"Very good, then follow the direction of the blood. We have already destroyed the scene, so if you can't find the [forged Philosopher's Stone], write down the clues you found and leave it here, so the church can know about us Correspondence ring warlocks are not all troublemakers."
Doing so is actually a disaster.
Xia De was in front, the doctor was walking beside Xia De, and Miss Louisa was at the end. Under the silvery moonlight at Xia De's fingertips and the sound of the rain getting louder outside the house ~www.mtlnovel.com~ they continued to go deep into the house.
The second body was found in the restaurant. A fifteen-year-old boy was lying on the dining table. After careful inspection, it was found that this time his neck was directly cut off by a sharp object.
"There is no confusion in the blood stains nearby, which means that after the knife was brought over, it was killed by one blow and then left immediately, so the trajectory of the knife did not get mixed up nearby."
As Xia De said, he turned around and looked at the restaurant. Except around the corpse, there were no obvious bloodstains left today, and the murderer did not stay here.
"The method of killing is sophisticated."
Miss Louisa commented that while the doctor examined the corpse's eyes, she looked around the dimly lit kitchen.
"Look, there are two sets of silverware here, really rich. No, it's not ordinary silverware, it's..."
Goldilocks frowned as she opened the cupboard.
"Antique from the Nolov dynasty? Does this factory owner still have this?"
