"I'm glad that the gentlemen police still took care to protect the scene when they poured in, otherwise now we would have to expect the killer to pop out on his own. ”

Standing at the bout in the wall with a small bag of tracer powder, Donald looked at the cordon next to him, and a little further out the yard was strewn with footprints.

As Pence said before, the murderer's speed was extremely fast, and he only stepped three steps from the courtyard wall to breaking the villa wall, and Donald twisted the tracing powder in his hand to confirm the location of the three footprints first, and followed the heel of the lead to directly find the location where the murderer entered the villa and made a mark.

Trotting out from the side, the Rose Squad followed Donald with their umbrellas, watching as he continued to sprinkle powder out, and then stared at the ground that had changed nothing in their eyes and moved to the other side of the street.

"Huh~ Fortunately, this is a rich area, there are not many passers-by in normal times, if it is changed to other places in Tallinn District, just these few hours, it is enough for other people's footprints to completely cover the murderer's footprints. ”

With a red glow in his eyes, Donald let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the rows of easily distinguishable footprints that appeared as the route was pushed backwards.

What he feared was that the path the murderer had walked before the murder would be trampled by more than a dozen people in the next few hours, and it was true that the tracer powder could distinguish the footprints according to the brightness, but it could not distinguish the size and type of shoes.

"Got a clue?"

As Suzanne spoke, her eyes peeked at Stephanie, and the narrowness in her eyes could not be more obvious.

The latter did not dodge either, standing beside Donald with an umbrella and responding with a triumphant expression.

"This location, the murderer stayed here. ”

In the state of spiritual vision, there are relatively chaotic footprints on the ground next to the street lamp in front of him, most of which are facing unknown, but judging from the brightness, they are all left by the murderer, which is enough to prove that he has waited here for a while before.

"The attack happened at breakfast time, this location is nearly 30 meters away from the Owen family villa, and there is a courtyard wall blocking it, how did he know that the Owen family were dining at that time? The footprints along the way just now were in the same direction, and there was no sign of repetition or stacking, which means that the murderer walked all the way from this position to the Owen family's villa, and there was no hesitation during the period...... He knew that the Owen couple would eat at a fixed time slot, so there was no need for any hesitation and waiting, and when he got to the right place, he went straight to work. ”

Speaking of his own conjectures, Donald's eyes always glanced at the location about a meter to the right of the streetlamp, where he had sprinkled tracking powder just now.

It's just that he stands at the front, and the people behind him can't see his eyes.

"According to Suzanne and Stephanie's news, no one has asked about the servants or guards in the Owen family recently, and the dining status of the Owen couple, given Stefanie's ability, I believe they are telling the truth, so how did the murderer know this information?"

"Observe, it's possible that he's been in a place for a long time observing the Owens' routine. ”

Stephani chimed in.

"Understood, I immediately asked the police officer to inquire on the street directly opposite the villa, and the Honorable Connery Owen had already given the approximate size of the murderer, so maybe you could find some useful information. ”

Pence had always been an impatient, and when he understood the scenfe, he was ready to return and let someone from the police station assist in the investigation.

"Wait, you come with me. ”

Stopping Burns, who had turned away, Donald turned the corner and stood still in front of a fence, his hands in his pockets and looking left and right.

The snowflakes were still falling from the sky, and Stefini hurriedly ran up to keep him holding the umbrella, because he was in a hurry, and the two were much closer to each other.

There are basically no ordinary shops in the rich area, and it is impossible for people living here to come out to buy daily necessities, and even if there is, it is the housekeeper who goes to the kingbird area to buy them on his behalf.

It's lunchtime again, and the servants are all preparing their own in the villa.

So there were just a few of them on the street, and a few cars parked on the side of the road, with a rather thick layer of snow on their roofs, which must have been parked there since last night, and there would be no one inside.

"Just now when you were contacting the Bureau, I went to Ms. Shirley Owen for a while...... The rest room, confirmed one thing, it was inconvenient to say in the villa before, so I took you out, not only to find traces, but not too abrupt. ”

With Donald's narration, the white breath exhaled from the mouths of several people around him was obviously thicker.

"Lilo has found that Lady Shirley Owen's soul has been sucked away, and you all know who she is, and you should trust her judgment...... What do you think about this?"

Sharing what you know so far with your teammates is not related to you, so you don't need to hide it from them.

"The soul is drained...... What do you mean, while we were investigating the case, someone sneaked into the morgue?"

Perhaps Donald's message was too strange, and Suzanne's voice was a few degrees lower as she spoke.

"No way, I checked that room, there was no secret door, no sign of window intrusion, and the people who entered the room from beginning to end were only a few servants of the Owen family, several of them entered together, and came out together, so to speak, watching each other, there was no chance at all, and after that, there were police and Owen family guards to watch, except for me and Horn, no one ever entered. ”

Donald had done his research before, so he now directly rejected Suzanne's conjecture.

"The killer has been on the move and fighting with the Owen family's guards throughout the assassination, I don't think the assassin will be able to maintain the intensity of the fight while freeing his hands to drain Mrs. Owen's soul, right?"

As a melee outlaw, Pence naturally understands that a momentary loss of consciousness in a hand-to-hand combat situation is an extremely fatal mistake, not to mention the distraction to extract the soul of the dead.

"Is it possible that someone did it in the police team that came later, when a large number of police officers suddenly poured in in a short period of time in the entire Owen family villa, the guards will inevitably be negligent, and it is not impossible for someone to take advantage of the situation, why don't you ask the police?"

Stephanie said with a frown, holding the umbrella in one hand and the other in the front pocket of her coat.

This statement was echoed by several others.

That's the benefit of discussion, it's easier to find some details than thinking alone.

"But it is impossible for us to question the police officers who entered the Owen family villa one by one, not to mention that there are a considerable number of sheriffs among them, just the interrogation of the police officers by our Investigation Bureau will have a great impact, if it is only one or two people, this is fifty or sixty people, it is likely to be considered that they are deliberately finding fault. ”

Horn did not shy away from objecting.

Both the Investigation Bureau and the Police Department belong to the public security system of Dmingham, and there is no distinction between each other's status, and now they are all under the leadership of the dominant powerhouse, and an interrogation of this scale is not even thought about unless it is approved by the Director of the Investigation Bureau!

Not to mention that if they don't ask for the results in the end, they will all face severe punishment.

"We need to change the starting point, in some cases I have experienced before, I have encountered similar situations, some morbid dark wizards often extract the souls of their victims, in order to prevent some strangers with the ability to talk to souls to obtain their identity information through communication with the souls of the deceased, the question is why would someone use this method on Mrs. Owen, could it be that she knows some special information, even if she is dead, someone is not at ease, and her soul needs to be sucked away to be finished?"

Unlike Donald, who had to ask Delia for confirmation, the first thing that came to Boglo's mind when he learned this information was that someone wanted to destroy the memories in Mrs. Owen's soul.

In the end, he was an old investigator, experienced enough, and it didn't take Donald a lot of explanation.

"I have the same idea as Boglo, instead of going to the police station, it is better to start with the clues that are better to start with at the moment, I suggest dividing into three teams, Stephanie and I continue to rely on this to find down, and then Horn and Suzanne can find a way to ask the police officers who rushed in before if they have any traces by knocking on the side, as long as it is not a formal interrogation, they should not be okay, Boglo and Pence can go to find out if Ms. Owen has done anything special recently, and contact me if there is anything I find, Stephanie, you should take the communicator with you？”

Raising the tracking powder in his hand, this line Donald is not ready to break, if he wants to complete the task as soon as possible, acting separately is the best way.

The communicator was recently distributed by the Bureau of Anomalous Investigation for short-range instant messaging, and Donald had just returned from an overseas island and didn't know how to use it, so he temporarily stored it at Stephanie's.

"According to Donald's plan, don't act on your own. ”

This is what seems to be the best plan at the moment, and Horn has nothing more to add.

"Some of this powder is sprinkled. ”

After the others had left, Donald touched his nose and said suddenly.

"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe they'll make a new discovery soon?"

"Haha, pessimistic, on the contrary, I'm optimistic now, Stephanie, why do you think I chose this seemingly most laborious method of investigation?"

Donald looked at Stephanie with a mysterious smile and raised an eyebrow.

"Isn't it because you're the only one with psionic powers?"

"No, the real reason is that I think this method is the most likely to find the murderer, and you are only allowed to stay so that you can also share in the merits...... Only the two of us share the merits!"

Winking at Stephanie, only his own people remained, and Donald no longer hid it.

"Why are you so sure you can find the murderer?"

Stephanie was a little overwhelmed by the change in Donald's tone.

"Because of course I found the trail of him when he left. ”

Looking at the marks under his feet, Donald had actually discovered it just now, but he didn't say it, plus there was chaos in the villa when the murderer left, and no one paid attention to his escape route, so Horn and the others thought that the murderer's escape route was not discovered by him.

From the moment he joined the Rose Squad, Donald had only one goal, to earn enough merit to participate in the year-end Inquisitor Review.

For this team, a sense of belonging?

If it weren't for the fact that Stephanie was a companion, and it was too abrupt for one person to stay, Donald would even consider taking the merit alone!
