In the human subconscious, many unaware information is often recorded, such as smell, temperature, sound, etc., and in the process of investigation, these insignificant details may become the key to determining the turning point.

It's not that the truth is too difficult to decipher, it's that it's not looked at it carefully enough and isn't close enough.

"Squadron Leader, who found the body and notified the vigilantes? ”

Hodden notices a third person who has been ignored at the murder scene and asks his own questions.

"Neighbor Neon McKay. When he got up to work in the morning, he noticed Austin's crying, found the body, and notified the vigilantes. ”

After Issa answered, she continued to analyze and explore, "The sheriff at that time asked Suzanne's work colleagues and friends, etc., but no suspect was found, no motive was found, no clues, and Austin's father did not exist. ”

"There are no names, no records, and no portraits. Well...... Austin was eventually sent to an orphanage, and it seems that the clue to the family was also broken. Issa pondered around the thin one-page file, only to find that there was no angle from which to investigate.

So, Issa looked up at Holden, "Is there any clue from your friend?"

"My friend said that Suzanne was his mother and that he witnessed her murder, but he did not have a complete memory because he was only three years old at the time. Holden also explained the information he had in the most concise words.

"So, he's Austin?" Parsia's eyes widened, showing pity.

Holden paused, "His name is Oliver." ”

Stare.

Stare.

Parcia and Issa looked at each other, unresponsive for a moment.

What does this mean...... Suzanne has another child?" Pacia hesitated to guess, "Or was there another child at the scene of the murder that night?"

Then continue to stare.

Hodden didn't look too surprised, "As long as we follow the clues and investigate, we will be able to find out the truth." Whether he is a victim or a child of a perpetrator, for him, only by getting the truth can he be freed. ”

Issa once again cast his gaze at Hoden, a mature wisdom that did not match his age.

But then Hoden continued to throw clues, "red and yellow balloons, a steam light rail, and an Austin name." ”

"Austin!" Pasia's round eyes almost fell out, "this...... What the hell is going on?"

"Anything is possible. Hodden gave an open-ended answer, never presupposing an answer until the truth is known.

Issa also bowed his head lightly in agreement, "Don't make random assumptions yourself, but follow the clues and remain objective, so that you can gradually get closer to the truth." ”

Although it was only a one-time collaboration, Issa also learned a lot – and she didn't mind learning from the young Holden.

"So, are you ready to investigate?" Issa asked, smiling.

Pacia was also a little excited, but still asked, "Squadron leader, are we going to participate in the investigation together?"

Issa's eyes were still fixed on Holden, and he said with a smirk, "Our security team credentials can still help at some point." Right, Holden?"

Hodden shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "I thought you weren't interested." He is not averse to Issa's joining, "but there is still a little file to investigate before leaving." When will the cases kept here be updated?"

"Twelve months ago. Issa explained, "If a case hasn't been updated for more than 12 months, we'll store it here temporarily, but as long as the clues or evidence or witnesses are always moving, the case will be kept upstairs with a separate file storage room." ”

"Documented form. Pascia added.

Hoden nodded in understanding, "Wait a minute. ”

Then, Hoden took the initiative to take a step forward, stretched out his right hand and touched the outer wall of the permafrost scepter, and instantly he could feel the majestic and turbulent sea of information venting towards him, and the feeling of the vastness of splitting his head and covering his face created a breath-holding shock, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he might get lost in it.

Now Hodden finally understood what Pascia was feeling just now - he did it on purpose, and took the initiative to try it out of curiosity, but after being mentally prepared, Hodden savored the feeling of the ocean, and then mobilized the keywords that had been prepared early and searched for the file he wanted:

"Nick Nightingale".

This was not Hoden's original plan.

He didn't expect the appearance of the Permafrost Scepter, so he didn't prepare the investigation materials, but since the opportunity appeared, Hoden didn't miss the reason-

Originally, Hodden wanted to formally ask Issa to see if he could find Nick Nightingale through Issa, but that most likely meant that he had to tell his secret, at least partially, which was definitely not the direction of things that Howlen wanted.

Not to mention whether Issa is willing to help, it is enough for Hodden to avoid revealing his secrets as much as possible.

He hadn't figured out how to find Nightingale yet, but the opportunity came to him.

But the result did not surprise Holden: nothing.

No criminal record of Nightingale has been found in the Permafrost Scepter, as only cases dating back twelve months are kept, and it is highly likely that Nightingale was not involved in the crime, otherwise his name would not have appeared in the tailor's roster at the end of August.

Speculation is speculation, Horden still needs further confirmation, and now that the idea has been preliminarily confirmed, Horden's psychology is a little bottomed out.

Immediately after that, Holden mobilized the second keyword.

"Naron Mackay".

This time, just waiting for a moment, you can clearly feel the rough texture of the parchment scroll between the palms of your hands, and you can curl up your fingers inward, and then you can feel a slight sinking weight, and the scroll has already appeared in the palm of your hand, which is indeed a novel experience.

"What kind of file is this?" Issa asked, unexpectedly, just under the lightning, Hoden would investigate another name.

Hodden opened the file and explained, "I thought I might not be able to investigate, but I just tried it, but I didn't expect to find it." ”

Parsia poked his head out and exclaimed, "Neo-Mackay?

Could it be that this good neighbor of Iwabuchi who took the initiative to report the crime still has something to worry about? And he also has a criminal record?
