The screams came from a woman, shrill and hysterical, like a continuous stream of sharp needles, needles next to needles, needles to needles, lined up in a thin line, constantly piercing the eardrums. Eric immediately put on his clothes and rushed out of the room, colliding with Chiko and Caitlin who rushed out of the room at the same time. The three of them hurried down the stairs to see that Cook and his wife, Ruth, had just lit the ceiling light in the living room. Under the light, Cook and Ruth looked sad and anxious.

"Let's go see what the hell is wrong with Daisy. Mrs. Ruth, with a horrified face, put on a scarf for her husband Cook.

"You know this scream?" asked Eric.

Something else that Cook didn't want to see happened, whether the three tourists who had come here were disturbed, and it might have affected his hard-earned business. Cook said apologetically: "Of course, this is Ms. Daisy's, just ......" Cook suddenly said in a hurry, but when he saw the suspicious eyes of the three guests, he could only grit his teeth and reply: "It's next door to us, next door to the Wind and Snow Bar, I'm sorry for the trouble I caused you." ”

"It just so happens that I'm a detective. Eric walked down the stairs, calmly handed Cook a business card, and walked out the door with Chiko and Eric. Cook looked at the three Eric trio suspiciously, thinking to himself that they seemed to be more enthusiastic about the scream than they were as old neighbors. He looked down at the business card and saw that it read prominently: "Sherlock Holmes Detective Agency". Cook frowned, the name Sherlock Holmes seemed to have been heard somewhere, but if it were himself, he would never have given his business such a long name.

The doors and windows of the Wind and Snow Bar are closed. But this was not difficult for the three people in front of the door, Eric could open dozens of locks made by different companies with two wires, but when they shouted a few times, Chiko resolutely decided to use the most direct method - kicking open. Chiko took a few steps back in front of the door, leaned back slightly, and suddenly a sassy roundhouse kick kicked the entire wooden door out of the door frame along the horizontal position. Caitlin nodded approvingly, perhaps her advice was correct, and Chiko could indeed be a great Agent Training Camp Strength and Conditioning Instructor.

"What are you doing!" Cook had just chased to the door of the bar with a flashlight.

"Save people. Eric looked back and hugged Cook's serious smile before swaggering inside. Cook was very unhappy with the vandalism of the three tourists in front of him, but he saw a solid wooden door 5 centimeters thick being kicked away by a slender lady, and he couldn't help but feel deep doubts about the identity of the three tourists: Are they really tourists?

The lobby of the Blizzard Bar is silent. Cook picked up his flashlight and easily found the switch for the bar light. "Turn on all the lights. Eric was glad Cook was here with them, "Looks like you're familiar with this place. ”

"Since my grandparents, the Cook family and the Thomas family, the owners of this bar, have been good neighbors. Thomas and I have known each other since childhood. God, nothing can happen to him. Cook seemed anxious, "and the family lived upstairs from the bar. ”

"This bar looks like it's been a bit old, so it can't be inherited from my grandparents. The three of them followed Cook around the back of the bar, through the curtain, to a staircase.

"That's right, this bar and my hostel have been passed down for generations. But because there were so few people coming to town, my family's hotel was often vacant, but luckily the Thomas family often helped us. And we often do odd jobs for the bar. Thomas's family are all kind people, God willing, don't let anything happen. Cook prayed earnestly and turned on the electric light at the top of the staircase. But Cook had another concern in his mind, if the scream was just a false alarm, how he would explain the wooden door of the bar that had been kicked open, and the three extremely suspicious tourists—I hope the forgiving Thomas would forgive the farce, after all, Daisy's screams were too terrible and terrifying.

The three of Eric cautiously walked up the stairs, and just as they reached the second floor, a young woman was lying on the floor of the hallway with a hideous face. Catelyn and Chiko glanced at each other and immediately understood their respective roles. Chiko stepped over to the woman's side, carefully examining her wounds, while Catelyn put her hand on the gun at her waist, vigilantly observing her surroundings.

"How can there be so much water. Eric crouched down and touched the red blood on the floor with his hand, the temperature of which was neither hot nor cold, like cold water that had just been poured out of a water dispenser.

"Daisy—" Cook, who was following closely, was so frightened that his voice changed when he saw the scene in front of him, "She, what's wrong with her?"

"The trachea between the larynx was severed, and unfortunately, she is dead. Chiko sighed.

"You should come and see here. Caitlin's voice was as solemn as her expression.

When Eric and Chiko entered one of the rooms, they were also stunned by the sight in front of them. There were two bodies lying in this bedroom, a man and a woman, who were about 50 years old.

"Well, it's ......" Cook sat down on the ground with his legs limp, "Mr. Thomas—Mrs. Tracy—"

Eric noticed a large wooden barrel in the room, and there was a smashed hole in the barrel, and the edge of the hole was stained with a trace of blood. At this point, Chiko gave an explanation for the bloodstains, and she pulled the back of Mr. Thomas's head, only to see a crimson patch of blood with wooden thorns from the barrel on it.

"I think the water above ground should be in this bucket. Chiko took off a wooden thorn and compared it to the hole in the barrel.

"But why put such a big bucket of water?" asked Eric.

"It should be the heating. Caitlyn pointed to the heater, "In the weather of Island G, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is very large, I think the Thomas family must have turned on the heating indoors for a long time, so in order to prevent the room from being too dry, so they put a big bucket of water here." ”

"That's right, only Thomas's house and the mayor's house have central heating in the town. Cook added.

"Where's the murder weapon?" said Eric, looking at the knife wound on Thomas's body.

"This. Chiko shook the fruit knife in his hand, "It's all a knife to seal the throat, except for Mr. Thomas's back of the head with an additional impact wound." After speaking, the eyes of the three collided with the same clue - the fool.

At this time, a creaking footstep suddenly sounded on the stairs, and at the same time a rough voice came: "Ku-k, why is the door broken, did you destroy the scene!"
