Chapter Four Messy Details

When I got into Inspector Robert's car, I realized that the driver was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is my henchman Kenny, and he knows the general situation of the case."

"It's rare that you allow more than one of your men, Kenny must be speechless about your temper tantrums." The young lady looked out the car window, and the corners of her mouth rose so that it was impossible to guess what she was thinking.

"What can I do if I shoehorn it into me." The detective shrugged his shoulders, his tone a little helpless. "Let's go, Kenny, how long are you going to keep us waiting?"

"Ah...... Be! Let's go! Ah, the rearview mirror is ok...... Rearview mirror OK...... Seat belts OK...... Drop the handbrake...... ...... "Kenny looks flustered, and after a series of checks, the car finally slowly pulls out of the police station.

"Your name is Kenny, aren't you? How long have you been following this old guy? ”

"It's been almost half a year, and the detective is the person I respect the most, not an old guy."

Through the rearview mirror, Kenny's expression suddenly became serious, and it seemed that he really admired Inspector Robert.

"Heh, what a lovely guy." Miss chuckled, and Kenny's ears suddenly turned red, and he drove his car silently, never talking again.

"Robert, I admire the guy who can put up with your temper and stay with you for more than a week."

Kenny's face was completely red to the base of his neck, and he still drove without saying a word.

"Miss, please stop playing tricks." I stopped the young lady from making more and more nonsense, and I don't know who I learned from this wicked trick, so I'll talk about her next time. To change the subject, I asked Inspector Robert if there was any news of Tina at the moment. The answer was no. The Inspector lists several possible hideouts for Kenny to investigate, but the results are chilling. Tina's most recent sighting was about a week before the incident, when she was seen sitting in a window seat at a fancy restaurant some distance from the bar, as if she was waiting for someone, and the restaurant staff remembered her appearance because she used to come to the restaurant on a date with a man from time to time. It is likely that the man she was dating was the mysterious person who entered and exited the victim's rental house on the night of the crime. However, no one in the restaurant remembers the man's appearance, which makes the detective more and more sure that the man must have known the victim and what might have happened.

While talking, the car pulls up to Daisy's rental, and Kenny pulls the car over to the side of the road. Robert walked ahead and raised the cordon marked No Entry, motioning for us to follow him. After many twists and turns, we entered a small alley, and the young lady suddenly stopped.

"This is the scene of the crime."

Robit, who was walking in front, turned around and said with some confusion: "The scene of the crime has to turn two more corners in front of it, what's wrong?" ”

Without answering Inspector Robert's question, the young lady looked at the walls on either side, crouched down and touched the floor.

"The alleys here are so intricate that if you want to stab someone with a knife, this is the best place to go. As soon as someone comes, you can immediately turn into the side path, and it is difficult for people who are not familiar with the terrain to catch up. The young lady crouched down and pointed to the corner near the ground.

"And, here, there's blood."

Inspector Robt leaned over to take a look with some surprise, and there was a small splash of blood on the wall, I don't know who had wiped it, and I couldn't see it at all if I didn't look closely.

"This is indeed my negligence, I thought that the crime scene was in front, it seems that something happened here at that time." Inspector Robert stood up and said to the young lady with a serious expression, "I'll call the laboratory department to take a look at it immediately, if there is blood here, maybe it will be ...... elsewhere."

Before he could finish speaking, the young lady interrupted him stiffly.

"No, only this one. Only here, there is a smell. The young lady sniffed and said in a very affirmative voice.

The rental house is a two-bedroom, one-living room and one-bathroom structure, which is neater than I expected, the living room and the things in the room are neatly arranged, and the bathroom and kitchen are also very clean. Although this is an old house, the owner of this house is definitely a very good cleaner in terms of cleanliness. Of course, the thin layer of ash in the house is also a sign that its owner has not been home for a while.

After entering the house, Inspector Robert leaned against the wall by the door and took out a cigarette case from his pocket, which was snatched away by the young lady.

"Don't smoke, it will affect my thinking." After saying that, he threw the cigarette case back to the detective.

The inspector who caught the cigarette case smiled helplessly at me: "Alas...... I really can't do anything about this girl, I'm so glad I hurt you. ”

I smiled and owed Inspector Robert, and followed Miss into Tina's room.

The young lady looked around the small room, which looked a little messy compared to the other. The skirt was thrown haphazardly on the chair, and a pair of black pantyhose hung from the back of the chair. The young lady touched a beautiful jewelry box on the bedside table, and when she opened it, there were a few garish-looking necklaces and a few pairs of exaggerated earrings, which seemed to be Tina's work use. There were a lot of clothes hanging in the closet, and some were folded and tucked into the corners, maybe Tina preferred a slightly more ornate outfit.

In contrast, Daisy's room was much cleaner, with few extra furnishings on the table, and a small bookcase next to it neatly arranged with magazines, behind which were many books with black covers. The young lady pulled out a copy and opened it.

"It was sunny on September 12th

Today for the first time I went out with Tina's friends, it turns out that the dresses in the metropolis are more expensive to order than the ones bought in the store! If I let my mother know, I would definitely be happy with her, the clothes she made fit and look good, I really hope to take her here one day......"

It turned out to be a diary, and the young lady took out the last one and turned to the last page.

"March 18 rain

My birthday is just a few days away, and I hope Tina can take half a day off to go out with me on my birthday. She's better than me in everything she does, the boss uses her very much, and the guests like her, even that person...... Wouldn't it be easier if I had Tina's ability? Isn't everyone like girls who love to laugh, have a sense of humor and flirt? Daisy, you have to work hard! I'm sure I'll be able to catch up with her ......."

The diary seemed to end here, and the young lady closed it and put it back.

Compared to Tina, Daisy's outfit is much more earthy and simple. Thinking back to that photo, the necklace with the blood crystal on Daisy's neck really matched her, and the person who gave the gift should be someone who knows Daisy better and knows her preferences. After looking around the room, the young lady suddenly slipped into the closet that was large enough to fit four or five of her, and after a few seconds, she had a black notebook in her hand.

"Oh! This is ......" I was just about to speak, when the young lady gave me a look and motioned for me not to speak.

"How's it going, is there any progress?" Inspector Robert, who was standing at the window of the living room blowing the wind, looked at the young lady who came out of the room and asked.

"Hmm...... Let's check out the bar. ”

"The bar is not far from here, and we walked past it for a few minutes. During the day, it is a normal café, and only in the evening does the bar open. Inspector Robert opened the door and made a "please" gesture.

"Ah, of course, the second floor is only open at night."

"It's okay, let's go check it out first."

And just like that, we set off for the bar again.

The Warlord restaurant is located at a crossroads with a good view, and we walked through the alleys and across two main roads. Even in broad daylight, there are many pedestrians who are willing to stop and walk into the café to enjoy the fun of taking a break. Perhaps already familiar with the surrounding police, we just walked into the café and a middle-aged woman who looked like a proprietress sat behind the cash register and greeted Inspector Robert. The inspector took off his hat, saluted, and led us straight over.

"I won't see you for a few days, don't come to harm, boss."

"I wouldn't want to see you if I could." The middle-aged woman stood up, looked at Inspector Robert helplessly, and then nodded to Miss and me before continuing.

"Hello, my name is Casey, and I'm the proprietress of this café. Ah, only during the day, of course. ”

After returning the salute with the young lady, I asked her about the day of the case.

"Let's talk to the table inside. Alas...... Robert really didn't tell me in advance when he brought such a cute little girl. I would have changed into nice clothes if I knew it, hehehe. Casey beckoned us to the table in the depths, and it seemed that she was a hospitable, talkative hostess.

"Daisy's boyfriend?" As soon as she sat down, a question suddenly popped up with the young lady.

The proprietress Casey was startled and said with a smile: "Ah, I thought you would ask about their situation on the day of the tragedy, I didn't expect you to gossip so much~" Casey ate the peanuts on the plate and leaned in the direction of Miss.

"Daisy is a nice girl, and although I don't know how she is doing in the evenings, she comes to the café from time to time to help me. I don't think she has a boyfriend, otherwise which big girl doesn't go on a date during the day and is willing to help? It's a pity, it's a pity. As if lamenting the lack of a helper, the proprietress sighed.

"So, what about Tina?"

"That girl is showing off all day long, and her boyfriend used to change often. Anyway, don't all men like girls like that? Laughs and has no brains, and is noisy all day long. With that, Casey glanced at Inspector Robert, intentionally or unintentionally, but Inspector ignored her.

"And what about lately? Tina seems to be dating a guy a lot? ”

Casey shook her head and said, "I don't know, but ask Brown, the bar's maître d'arms, in the evening, he knows more than I do." ”

The young lady took out five pictures and put them on the table, and I looked at them, and it turned out to be the five girls who had been killed after Daisy.

"Do you have an impression of these five people?"

Casey picked up the picture and looked at it, "I know one of them." She pointed to the first photo.

"This girl lives near here, and I saw her in a café with a drawing board and a paintbrush or something, as if she was a teacher who taught painting? I've talked to her for a few words, but I don't remember what her name was. These five little girls are all victims, right? The police have come and asked me many times. ”

"That's it, I'm done with my question, thank you."

With that, the young lady prepared to get up.

"Huh? Don't you ask what happened on the day of the incident? I remember April 16th, right? ”

"It's okay, you've already told me everything I want to know."

Robert and Miss I got up to say goodbye to the hostess, and Miss followed me blankly, thinking about something.

"Hmm...... I see! Robert, take me to the restaurant where Tina often goes on dates. ”

"Okay, I'll let Kenny drive us."

When we arrived at the restaurant, it was already past lunch, and the staff in the restaurant were cleaning, and when they saw us preparing to go in, the salesperson hurriedly ran over to us and said that it was no longer open. After Inspector Robert showed his badge, the manager walked out.

According to the manager, Tina seems to come here on a date with a man every week, and each time she asks to reserve this double seat by the window. This restaurant is one of the most expensive places in the entire area, and if you can come here every week for a date, you must have some spending power for the man who came with Tina. The strange thing is that after visiting so many times, the people in the restaurant don't have much impression of the man's appearance, only remember that it is a tall man with good facial features and a black trench coat.

It didn't take long for us to come out of the restaurant, and the young lady opened the parasol in her hand at the door of the restaurant, stood quietly for a while, and turned around. The pure white dress lined her long milky blonde curls and snow-white skin, like an angel of judgment descending.

"I've found the prisoner."

She turned her head back to us with eyes as deep as sapphires.

"I've found Tina."
