Even in the summer, the mornings in Federenburg were still a little cold and wet, and after 10 minutes they were on Nestre Street, walking down the grey streets where the number of workers was increasing.

After knocking on the doors of Kiplin's neighbors one after another, the three Pauls, who had identified themselves as police officers, came to a conclusion:

Kiprin and his wife, Jima, have quarreled a lot in the past two years, not at all like Jima's sister Filana said.

As for the reasons for the quarrels, it seems that most of them are trivial things.

Then there is the important information that because of the poverty of life, the Kipling family fostered him in his aunt's house when Cummins was born, because Mrs. Keith Filana had no children at that time.

It was only half a year later that Mrs. Keith became pregnant with Erica, and two months earlier, Cummins' mother had brought Cummins back.

"No wonder yesterday I felt that Cummins looked at Mrs. Keith more like a mother, and that he had been brought up by Mrs. Keith. Chris muttered.

After questioning several neighbors, the trio returned to the Kiplin's room.

Chris looked at a shirt in the closet that was obviously Kiplin, and said in a flash of inspiration:

"Why don't I do a divination with Kiplin's clothes and see if I can know the root cause of their quarrel. ”

After seeing that Jeffrey and Paul agreed, Chris reached out to take the white-washed shirt, and after feeding the "greedy money" a gold coin painfully, Chris sat on the bed and closed his eyes, and kept muttering:

"The reason why the owner of this shirt and his wife often quarreled. ”

"The reason why the owner of this shirt and his wife often quarreled. ”

......

After a minute, under the watchful eyes of Jeffrey and Paul, the top of the pocket watch began to glow with gold, and the hollowed-out one-eye blinked.

They knew that the dream divination had succeeded.

In a dream that is a mixture of the unreal and the real, Chris sees what he wants to know.

"Whew!"

Chris exhaled before he opened his eyes, and to Paul's surprise, Chris's face turned a little red at this time.

"What did you see in your dreams?" asked Paul aloud.

After hesitating for a few seconds, as if the language had been organized, Chris stiffened his head and said:

"Hmm...... It turned out that Kiplin had violated Filana, that is, Mrs. Keith, more than once in the past few years, under the pretext of watching Xiaomans, while Milson was not at home. ”

"What?" said Paul, but then his delicate face quickly turned red.

Only Jeffrey was still as usual, seeing that Chris and Paul were embarrassed not to speak, Jeffrey analyzed expressionlessly:

"In that case, it is likely that it was Mrs. Keith who killed Kipling, or Mr. Keith, who might have known about it. ”

"If Kiplin was one of them, who killed his wife and children?" asked Chris as he struggled to put the filth he had just seen behind him.

"And we don't know how Cummins survived that night, after all, the room was filled with gas. Paul said in a deep voice, "Looks like we need to pay a visit to Mrs. Keith." ”

So the three of them came to 11 Etienne Street again.

After taking a sip of the Xibe black tea brought by Mrs. Keith, because Jeffrey didn't like to talk among the three, and Chris was young, only Paul's image as a policeman was the most suitable, so Paul asked:

"We have found out after some investigation that Kiplin and Hima have not had a good relationship in the past two years, and they seem to have quarreled a lot, contrary to what you said yesterday that they have a very good relationship, I wonder if you have anything to add to this, Mrs. Keith?"

After hearing the young policeman's words, Mrs. Keith's eyes were visibly flustered, and she smiled reluctantly:

"Maybe I was mistaken, after all, I don't live close to Hima, so I don't know about their falling out. ”

While Paul inquired about the case, Chris walked to the door of Cummins' bedroom again and looked at the two children inside.

Erica, who is only 5 years old, is a very cute little girl, wearing a floral pleated dress, and is now sitting in front of the window and painting quietly.

Cummins, on the other hand, sat on the bed in a daze, although he was frightened, but for a little boy who had just passed away one after another, such a calm attitude was a bit strange.

Chris couldn't help but walk into the bedroom, as if sensing someone coming in, and the little girl Erica stood up and smiled:

"Big brother is here again today, is there anything you want to find Cummins? He's in a bad mood right now, you can ask me any questions. ”

Chris smiled and walked up to Erica, touched her head, and asked:

"Is it true that Cummins was sent back to his parents two months ago?"

Erica tilted her head and glanced at Cummins in a daze on the bed, and her tone was a little depressed:

"Yes, I was very sad for a few days, and I often asked my mother to take me to him after that. ”

"Do you know how Cummins has been doing at his house for the past two months?" asked Chris then, thinking that Cummins had been away from home since she was born, and that he should have been a little estranged from his family.

The little girl Erica seemed to remember something angry, and her cute little face was a little annoyed and said:

"It's not good at all, Cummins's two older brothers are so annoying and often bully Cummins. ”

"Oh, that's right. Chris glanced at Cummins on the bed, who felt like he had entered his own world, unresponsive to their conversation.

However, it may also be because of the irritable avoidance after being stimulated, so that they ignore the outside world and immerse themselves in their own world.

As a mature person, Chris can understand Cummins's brother bullying him, after all, Cummins has been away from home for so long, and there should be no affection between them.

And the economic situation of Kiplin's family is not good, and his two older brothers will definitely be dissatisfied with the sudden addition of one person to compete for limited food and room.

For Chris, who grew up in a slum area, he often saw the situation in the homes of his peers, and immediately restored some scenes after Cummins returned home.

"Then do you know why your mother suddenly sent Cummins back?" asked Chris looking at Erica.

"It seems to be because of Aunt Gemma, who came to my house one day three months ago and said she wanted to bring Cummins back. The little girl Erica replied obediently.
