Detective Elwood is smoking a cigarette on the balcony of the police station.

Alas, the Ouroboros murder case has not progressed, and the old guy in the bureau has also told him that the people above have urged him many times, and he must come up with a credible result as soon as possible.

But the case couldn't be more bizarre, and Ellwood suspected that perhaps the murderer was not an ordinary human being, or that he was a top criminal who was insane, had a high level of artistry, and was extremely skilled in criminal techniques, and knew a lot about how the police handled cases.

Even though the authorities have done their best to suppress the spread of rumors, panic has spread irrepressibly among the citizens, who desperately need a positive outcome.

And more than the townspeople, it is the big capitalists who can shake the mayor more.

They hope that the matter will be solved immediately, even if the answer is just a well-packaged scam, as long as some citizens are no longer afraid to leave their homes and go to various places to spend.

Although many entrepreneurs have benefited from the riots, many more have lost profits.

If public opinion can be controlled, the mayor can still make the citizens forget about this matter immediately, but they can't do it at all.

Because journalism is one of the few industries that has made a lot of money from this incident, and Aaron's public opinion is in the hands of a big capitalist who can ignore the mayor's words.

And the less others earn, the more he can earn, even if others lose 10,000 pounds, it is worth it for him to only get one pound from it.

The other capitalists, who had suffered so much, banded together to put pressure on the government, the mayor put pressure on the chief, and the director put pressure on the detectives, and Elwood could only silently suppress the sullen.

"Rich man who it. Elwood slammed the cigarette out.

If it were a police station in another city, just find a death row prisoner and forcibly give him the charge, and Elwood didn't have any mental cleanliness, after all, he could still slowly search for the real prisoner later, and people never cared about the truth anyway.

But this is Aaron, the capital of civilization, and if they really find a random condemned prisoner and say that he is the murderer of the Ouroboros murder, once the murderer commits the crime again, they can't use some simple excuse to fool the citizens.

The media will strip them naked, leaving them surrounded by wolves like helpless babies.

Criminals don't think about them.

Elwood stepped out of the balcony and put on his coat.

A young man jumped to his feet and asked with adoration on his face:

"Inspector Elwood, did you find anything?"

Elwood's colleagues were already familiar with the fact that this young man had not been in the police station for a long time, and on his first day on the job, he loudly declared that he was a fan of Elwood, and not the kind of fan who only watched his experience adapted, but the ultimate fan who seriously studied each of his cases.

Although he was the only one in the entire office who admired Elwood so wildly, his colleagues were not surprised by this, and if anything, it should be a little remembrance.

Remembering the golden age that has passed.

At that time, all the newcomers were as fanatical as this child, and those years were at the height of Elwood's popularity, and countless people joined the police department because of his name.

But everyone will grow old, and an era will eventually come to an end.

For many complex reasons, Elwood is gradually no longer being discussed, and it seems that young people have lost interest in the stories of legendary detectives, and old detectives have become niche readers, and young people like something more exciting and exciting, such as rock music and strange hairstyles.

Elwood said helplessly:

"Shaw, I'm just going out for a walk. ”

The boy seemed to have an unrealistic trust in him, always feeling that any small gesture he made was a powerful impetus to the case.

Elwood straightened his coat, put on his hat, and hid his baton and firearms.

Of course, whenever the child thinks so, there is a probability that it is right.

He did want to go out and do something, but it wasn't something for a child to know.

He had several secret informants whose identities were not only never known, but who were also likely to have committed felonies worthy of the death penalty.

But without evidence, the police couldn't arrest them, and the gangsters also adhered to some interesting principles that made the city a lot more stable.

He didn't make a police car, but a horse-drawn carriage to reach the corners of the city first.

It was a secret search.

He covered his face and figure with his entire outfit, which was not his usual outfit, but there were some special people who could recognize it.

Someone who is all over here.

At the suggestion of a few men, Elwood followed their guidance as he went.

Until he stopped in front of a café.

"At least not a clothing store this time. ”

Instead of finding a place to sit down, he walked straight into the warehouse where the materials were kept.

A skinny man sits in the middle of the clutter.

Elwood asked:

"Do your subordinates know that you are so casual in private?"

Ostrich says:

"Even if I knew, their respect and fear for me would not have diminished in the slightest, but if it had been ten years ago, I would never have imagined the opportunity to work with a 'big star' like you. ”

Elwood scoffed:

"An informant like you, even if I fart, someone will write a report for you. ”

The ostrich often bows its head and listens to the sound of the whole desert.

The hunchbacked man smiled, not caring about Elwood's taunts.

Although Ellwood wanted to keep him in prison from the bottom of his heart, the two were half friends.

Elwood also sat down in the middle of the clutter

"You know about the Ouroboros murder that has been in a big swing recently. ”

Ostrich says:

"Not only know. ”

Elwood asked:

"Any valuable news?"

The ostrich smiled mysteriously:

"It's hard to say if it's worth the money or not, but there's a piece of news that has been circulating in our circles lately. ”

Elwood asked:

"What is it?"

The ostrich said casually:

"Some people say that this matter has something to do with the Gawain family, that little princess Veronica, you know. ”

Elwood's face remained unchanged and asked:

"You know, what's wrong?"

But at this moment, the detective was a little excited, Hevendelenger and Kelly had mentioned it, and even the girl thought that Veronica was very likely to be directly related to the case.

Ostrich says:

"Tonight at ten o'clock, some of our guys will be hanging out at the back door of the castle where Veronica lives, and I don't know what they have to do with that castle.

"But I've heard that this has something to do with your case. ”

Elwood says:

"Ten o'clock tonight?"

The ostrich nodded:

"That's right, it's only tonight, and I won't be able to help if I miss this opportunity. ”

Elwood gets up:

"I'll take a look twice. ”

Ostrich says:

"Be careful, that's a big guy. ”

Elwood laughed:

"What kind of big guy I haven't seen?"

With that, he turned and left.

He admired and admired Ellwood.

The ostrich didn't tell a lie, it was a secret that was circulating around, but he didn't tell Ellwood why something that was supposed to be secret was being talked about casually.

His caution was also genuine, and he really didn't want Elwood to die there.

The ostrich didn't know why the man knew that Elwood would come to him at ten o'clock tonight.

He also didn't say who told him to tell Ellwood about it.
