040 Clue Puzzle
Holden stopped, turned and looked head-on at the iceberg.
Because it was too sudden, the iceberg obviously didn't expect it, his footsteps paused slightly, his center of gravity swayed, and he looked at Hodden with a wary face.
The hostility that made Holden smile, "I didn't plan to take you home. So, why don't we get things sorted out now?"
"......," Iceberg hesitated for a moment, "here?"
The lively crowd of people is constantly moving around, not to mention that the wall has ears, and it is simply exposed to the public, so it doesn't matter?
"Sometimes, the crowd is the best cover for secrecy. "You don't want people to speculate about why we went to a secret place to exchange secret information, do you?"
Iceberg circled around in his mind and didn't say anything more, "Have you really lost your memory?
"Hoden Herlow. But Holden didn't answer, but took the lead in introducing himself.
Iceberg gritted his teeth and glared at Hoden fiercely, but Hoden was still that lazy and casual look, unmoved, he could only reluctantly say, "Robben Capalti." ”
"Nice to meet you, Robben. Hodden greeted him in a serious manner.
The smiling look was very unbeatable.
Horgan didn't wait for Robben to get angry, and then said, "Indeed, I don't remember. In fact, not only have the memories of the past week completely disappeared, but the memories of the previous two to three weeks have also become fragmented, and many things have become blurred. You mentioned Samuel, but I still can't remember. ”
Robben had suspicion in his eyes.
But Haddon still said very seriously, "Judging from memory, Samuel and I shouldn't be good friends, right?"
Robben hesitated for a moment, then nodded in the affirmative, "I really didn't hear Samuel mention you before that. ”
"So, the only time you saw me and Samuel was at Mr. Adrian's tailor's shop?" Hoden still had no relevant memory in his mind, and after receiving Robben's affirmative answer, he immediately asked, "Do you know why we went to the tailor's shop?"
Horgan then explained, "With my family situation, I don't have enough money to make a custom suit. ”
"So is our family. Robben replied in the affirmative, "I asked Samuel, and he said that it was a job that required him to go to a noble banquet as a waiter, and every waiter had to be dressed up, so he went to the tailor's shop to make a custom suit." ”
After the words were finished, Robben sensed Hoden's eyes, and he reacted himself, "This is not right. ”
What kind of banquet is it, even the waiters have to wear a custom-made suit?
I hadn't thought about it before, but now that Samuel is missing, suspicions have surfaced.
Holden didn't rush to conclusions, although it is not common for waiters to make custom suits, it is not impossible, or you must consider the material, version, style, etc. of the suit, and the price is also high and low, if it is just a standard suit, it can also make sense. The only thing that is certain is that the banquet specifications are necessarily not that simple.
"How the hell did you find the church?" Because in front of the public, Hodden did not deliberately lower his voice and maintained a normal volume of communication, so the key words were quietly hidden, even if they were occasionally overheard, passers-by would not feel strange.
Robben slowed down a little by half a beat, and then he also noticed Holden's way of handling it, "Samuel has a bad habit of picking things up. ”
Robben's words were a little hesitant: petty theft, although not a big thing, is not a good thing, but now is not the time to worry about this.
"It's not an important object, but he always likes to be cheap. For example, a quill pen, for example, a paper clip. ”
Hodden bowed his head slightly.
"After his disappearance, I tried to find some clues and found two candies in his pocket, packaged in a medical examination room sponsored by the Church. ”
"I went to the examination room and did not find anything, that is, the church in order to support the charity convened by the medical research institute, all homeless people or ordinary people are welcome to go for physical health check-ups, they provide free examinations, in exchange, those examination results are all provided to the medical research institute to help the advancement of medicine, and at the same time, if a serious disease is detected, they can also go to the hospital in time to get treatment. ”
This should be Robben's longest speech ever, and it is clear that the iceberg will not speak.
But Hoden's first reaction was, "Candy?"
Robben blinked, I don't know why: he just said so much, and Hoden noticed this?" ”
Hoden shook his head slightly, "If a blood test is done, then eating a candy can relieve the symptoms of dizziness and fatigue." ”
Robben didn't know this, "You mean, Samuel had a blood draw?" but...... Why?"
"That's the puzzle we need to solve. Hodden continued, "You didn't find any clues in the examination room, so you went to the church to wait?"
"I don't know. I couldn't find any clues, but I always felt that something should be done, so I went to church and waited. Robben's calm words revealed a slight sense of powerlessness, like a headless fly, "That day, in fact, I was ready to give up, because I didn't know what I wanted to wait for, and four days passed before and after, and I didn't find any valid information. ”
"Then, I showed up. Holden immediately understood that everything was just a coincidence:
If he hadn't made it to the Umani church that day, Robben might never have noticed him, and Samuel's message might have been cut off forever.
Hodden could sense the anxiety in Robben's calm eyes, so he took the initiative to explain, "When I came to my senses, I noticed the statue of Hano's male god on the wall, so I went to the church to look for clues. ”
"Hano?" Robben finally understood the meaning of Hoden's conversation with the bald head.
"But there are still too few clues, and I need to visit the tailor shop and the medical examination room to see if I can refresh my memory. Hoden explained simply.
"I'm with that, too. Robben immediately took a stand, and the eagerness and determination in his eyes were unmistakably sharp.
Hoden nodded, "Of course, I could use some help. ”
After saying this, it was obvious that Robben's mood relaxed a little.
"Also, we need to keep a low profile, because I can't be sure what we're involved in, and it's best to stay out of the church and the vigilantes until the truth comes out. Holden didn't explain in depth.
But a simple sentence was enough for Robben, "I understand." ”
After a pause, Robben still couldn't hold back, "When you woke up, did you really not see Samuel......? Even if it's ......"
Even if it's a corpse.
"I'm sorry. Holden shook his head regretfully, his voice revealing a touch of helplessness.
