"But we don't even have basic evidence. Caitlin shrugged her eyebrows, as if to say—Eric, this might just be your speculation.

Eric knew he really didn't have a convincing explanation, so he could only wrinkle his nose and continue to walk forward. "Have you ever wondered that although this town is not big, there are more than a hundred families, and if everyone reports something trivial to Soros, then even if he doesn't sleep, he may not be able to cope with it. Eric suddenly thought of this suspicion.

"Maybe that's what he's capable of, don't you see, the people here are very much in love with their mayor, and you can see that this love is not from anxious dictatorial repression, but from the heart. In fact, Catelyn had thought about Eric's suspicions, but perhaps the well-mannered mayor really had some super time management skills.

"Well—what a perfect mayor. Eric's words were full of bitter sarcasm.

"Do you really care about him?" said Caitlyn laughed.

"What do you care about him? I just trust my detective instincts. Eric quibbled.

"Maybe I can help you sort out the clues. Caitlin took a step and walked over to Eric.

"How-" Before Eric could finish his words, Catelyn had already kissed him on the mouth. Eric could feel Caitlyn's lips as if they were enjoying sucking on him. Gradually, as Caitlyn's hands wrapped around Eric's neck, her tongue swam into Eric's mouth like a slippery little fish. Eric tries to catch the "little fish", but she always slides away from his tongue. Eric put his arms around Caitlyn's waist and began to play with the "little fish" in his mouth seriously.

"How's it going, did you clarify?" fifteen minutes later, Caitlyn ended the kiss with a kiss that was so hot that it almost melted the air between her noses.

"Hmm-" Eric breathed a sigh of relief, "as if it had been clarified." ”

"Tell me about it. Caitlin was back walking beside Eric.

"The first suspicion is already very bad, and we still can't say for sure whether the tragedy of the Thomas family has anything to do with the fool. If not, then what is the motive of the murderer, it has reached the point of exterminating Thomas's family. If it was a fool who did it, then why did he choose the Thomas family?" After saying this, Eric really realized that he had been entangled in Soros's eccentricity, and had long been off the track of reasoning about the truth.

"The second suspicion is also very bad, although we have proved that the murderer disguised the Blizzard Bar as the first crime scene, but not to mention that we have no clue about finding the real crime scene now, and we have not even found out how the murderer came and went freely in a barely airtight Blizzard Bar that was locked up. Eric smiled bitterly.

"The third suspicion is still very bad, we were attacked by Cher in the snow, and we went to the Blizzard Bar to meet the murder of Thomas's family, and in both cases, the fool only showed us the note he left for Cook, and we have no trace of him, and neither Cher nor Thomas's family, these two things seem to be the fool's doing, but they may not be. Eric seemed to be able to sense the fool smiling in the dark.

"It seems like we're in a terrible situation right now, but we're glad for one thing. Caitlin reassured.

"What?" asked Eric.

"Our sane Holmes disciples are back again. With that, Caitlyn kissed Eric on the cheek again.

"Uh-" Eric touched his own kissed cheek, "I always have a feeling. ”

"What does it feel?" asked Caitlyn.

"We can only see what the fool really looks like in the last moments. Eric muttered for a moment, "Maybe that's what he wants." ”

"What effect?" Catelyn wondered.

"I can't say for now, but I think the fool seems to be trying to tell us something through this town. Eric looked around at the surrounding streets, houses and snow-capped – what story could this humble but happiest town in the world tell?

"Look. At this time, Caitlin pointed to a middle-aged woman who was sweeping the snow in front of the door not far away. Eric soon noticed that when the woman saw Eric and the others, although she had a smiling expression, her eyelids were red and swollen, as if she had cried.

"Good morning, ma'am. Eric stepped forward.

"Good morning, Mr. Eric. The woman replied politely, still without losing her manners.

"Do you know me?" Although he already knew from Biliss that the three of them had become the focus of the town's care, Eric still made a very surprised expression out of the need for a close one.

"Of course. The woman bowed her head, but did not show the same enthusiastic response as Billis, "We already know about you and Mr. Thomas's family, and Mayor Soros has sent your picture to every family, hoping that you can make up for your fright." ”

"We've met Mayor Soros and he's such a nice guy. Caitlyn asked tentatively.

"Yes, Mayor Soros is indeed very good, always looking out for our well-being. The woman's voice rose and went, a far cry from the enthusiastic reaction of Billis, Cook, and Bailey to the mayor.

Eric and Catelyn looked at each other and immediately understood what the other had in mind—this woman might be the breakthrough

"Yes, I heard that under the rule of Mayor Soros, the town is very peaceful, and there have been no deaths for a long time. Eric began to fiddle with his little eyes.

As soon as Eric finished speaking, the woman who had been sweeping the floor with her head bowed suddenly raised her head and looked at it, her mouth squirming slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she still chose to lower her head: "Yes, Mayor Soros has paid a lot for this town. ”

"What shall I call you?" asked Eric.

"Mifia. Without the topic of Mayor Soros, this Mifia lady seems to be a lot more relaxed.

"Excuse me, what about your child? Why didn't you see it? Eric quickly shot the first "cold arrow".

"Child, what child?" Mifia's voice trembled slightly, and she turned and walked back into the house.

"What's wrong with your child?" Eric knew that the woman in front of him would give him unexpected new clues.
