The broken seal sent a few people breathing, Keppel pulled his gun from his waist, Pence stepped forward to the front of everyone, and Stephanie took a step behind Donald.

Your fighting style determines your teamfight position.

"This door was sealed by myself the last time I came, when it was closed. ”

Keppel reminded from the side, his voice deliberately low.

"Is it possible for the residents here to come in to get some furniture or ..... that no one wants? Other miscellaneous items, don't be so vigilant, there is no one inside. ”

Turning on the spiritual vision and scanning the situation in the room, it was black and gray, there were no people, and there were no non-human beings.

"No, they don't have the courage to tear the seal of the police station yet. ”

Keppel is very sure of his judgment.

Someone has been to this room, not civilians in this building.

Bypassing Burns and stepping forward, Donald's gaze stayed on the fence gate, grabbing two diamond-shaped openings with his hands and pulling out, the fence gate that should have been locked has become a sliding door at the moment, not violent destruction, Donald glanced at the lock cylinder, it is still normal.

"It seems that the murderer will also pick the lock. ”

He pointed his finger at the location of the door lock, which was said to Keppel, since the door was not broken, picking the lock was only one of the possible reasons.

"The key to this fence gate, although not often used, has always been carried with me, along with my locker key, the key to my home, and if it is stolen, I will definitely find it. ”

Keppel took out the keychain where several keys were placed together to prove his claim.

Push open the door and enter, the area of the room is not large, one bedroom and one living room, and there is a sofa and a black and moldy mattress in the living room, with a large number of stains on it, emitting a strange smell.

On the opposite side of the door was a window, and the curtains were drawn, which made the room look a little dark, and Donald was in no hurry to step inside.

Form a seal with one hand.

A lantern with a blue flame in the center appeared in front of him, with what looked like it was made of rattan at the top of the lampshade.

Level 1 spell Ghost Lantern, a spell that Donald recently learned in his notes.

"Uh. ”

Keppel made a short strange noise beside him, probably a little startled by this method.

The ghost lantern floated slowly down the doorway, and the police department stopped the follow-up investigation of the Severed Finger Cannibal case five months ago, which means that no one should have been in this room during these five months, and there would naturally be dust accumulation on the ground.

You can see a trail of footprints leading all the way to the bedroom of the room.

"Someone has been here, Pence, and you and Stephanie go and ask the inhabitants of the adjacent corridor, they live here, and you might see an intruder. ”

Donald turned back to the two men who were still outside the door.

Stephanie turned around without hesitation, and Pentston paused, and when he saw Stephanie walking the other way, he followed.

The commander of this contingent has been established.

"This is a place that has been discovered by the police, if the intruder is the one who was omitted from the severed finger case, what did he do by breaking in, exposing himself, telling the police that there is actually another person they didn't catch?"

This doesn't make sense.

"It is very common for the murderer to return to the scene of the crime, and he, or rather, they reminisce about the situation here in order to get pleasure, and it is not excluded that there are imitators who want to substitute themselves into some evil identity by visiting this place, and imagine that they are the murderers of the severed fingers at that time. ”

Keppel gave two possibilities, Donald nodded again and again, these ordinary policemen may not be as good as the outlaws in terms of combat effectiveness, but they have more mature experience in investigating the case than many outlaw investigators who are halfway home.

When I opened the wooden door of the bedroom, I was surprised to hear the smell of dead fish that had been sitting in a can for days and heated over a low fire.

Since the contents of the bedroom had been thoroughly checked during the case, Donald scanned the circle with his vision and found no special secret compartments, so he just pinched his nose and closed his breath and relied on the light of the ghost lantern to turn around in the bedroom, stayed in front of the bed for a while, and then turned to leave, directly opening the window of the living room to let the cool breeze from outside pour in.

"As disgusting as I feel, I have to say that this intruder has been lying on the bed inside for a while, and I don't know how long...... Talent. ”

There was no quilt in the bedroom, but the sheets were clearly squeezed and wrinkled, some of the dust that should have been on them was gone, and there was an extra dent in the pillow.

He felt sick to let Donald stay in that kind of place for a few minutes, and anyone else used it as a place to rest?

"In this case, there are indeed remnants or copycats in the case, and I think it is necessary to immediately notify the police station to start the search again!"

Keppel was excited again, Donald looked at him with some surprise, but his expression didn't change much,

Regardless of whether there are any criminals who have not been arrested or imitators, he is not very interested, and the order of the Investigation Bureau is to sort out the case, and then report some special findings, and then how to investigate, who will investigate, it depends on the arrangements of the police station and the Investigation Bureau.

Now all the focus is on Matiel Tate, and the investigation of this case is also to find Matiel's services.

In Donald's opinion, as long as they report the situation here, there should be a special team in the Kingbird District to take over soon, after all, in their opinion, since there is a new situation in the Broken Finger case, it is naturally related to the disappearance of Martiel on Kingbird Island.

If you want to investigate the two cases together, you have to ensure the exchange of intelligence and communication between the teams, and the Rose Team itself does not belong to the Wangque Island investigation team.

To put it bluntly, they are in the role of a temporary worker in this case.

The Bureau of Anomalous Investigation will not allow the Rose Team to intervene in the disappearance case on King's Sparrow Island, and the investigation team on King's Sparrow Island will not allow other teams to take credit.

As I said before, the Rose Squad forcibly went to investigate, and in the end, they might not even be able to drink the soup.

Besides, you must know that the finger severance case was a big case at that time, and the police department did not know how many people were dispatched at the beginning, and the team of the Investigation Bureau finally caught the murderer.

It seems that the killer may not have been fully caught yet.

Donald didn't think there was much to be found out by the current state of the Roses.

Of course, it's not without a chance to get out.

The question is, why should we let it out?

This case has little to do with the Rose Squad, they don't have much credit for solving the case, and they can't find their heads if the case fails.

There are so many sheriffs in Tallinn and Wangque Island, and the police detectives don't need it, so they have to make themselves tired and half dead?

Donald is not a fool, he might as well go back and make a few more inscription scrolls when he has the time.

Outside the door, Stephanie and Burns were standing at the top of the stairs asking a middle-aged man.

"Did you find anything?"

Donald stepped forward and asked.

"Some people say they saw a stranger about the size of Pence coming out of there, masked. ”

Stephanie took the note and showed Donald the contents of the question.

"Well, make a note of this information and inform Horn that the new discovery has been made, and there may be murderers or imitators who have not been caught in the severed finger case, so that they are ready to come and take over, this case is very complicated, it is estimated that the cooperation of the police is needed, and we are in such a bad state now, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold it." ”

Let them check, this is an order, no way.

Now the key clues have also been found, although the process is very easy, just a little taste, but it can be regarded as a breakthrough.

Do you still expect a few of them who have just experienced the big war to find out the murderer?

That's not.

They're not a detective group.

"Understood, we're going to join Suzanne and the others now. ”

Stephanie's expression was palpably joyful.

Who wants to work during the holidays?

It's still the kind that doesn't have overtime pay.

Horn's reaction was also extremely fast, as soon as the two groups met, and after Donald reported their situation, Suzanne immediately said that she would report to the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation and apply for a formal takeover.

The two policemen also said that they would report back to the police station, and said goodbye and left.

Except for Susanna, who was contacting the Anomalous Bureau, the others found a café and waited for the results.

"This time we were really lucky, we found clues in the first place we went, and we knew that there were still people or imitators who had not been caught in the finger severing case, and if we were the last to find out, I don't know how much time we would have wasted. ”

Burns was happy about the vacation that might continue, and Donald was in a good mood, thinking that he could return later and continue practicing his spells.

"Oops, didn't return the dossier to them...... By the way, you know, the policeman, Keppel Leonard, his sister was one of the victims in the severed finger case, so Suzanne was so emotional when she said that again, which is what I heard from Murtley, and he thought that there must be fugitives in this case who have not been caught. ”

Horn patted the document bag in his hand, remembered what he had heard before, opened it again, and took out the information of the deceased in it.

I don't know if it's a delusion, Donald feels that Horn's personality has begun to become frivolous again.

"Really, it seems that his conjecture is correct, no wonder he was inexplicably excited when he saw him before.....

Donald had been strange before, it was obviously a laborious case, but Keppel looked quite happy when he returned.

However, Donald fell silent.

Habitual thinking made him suddenly have some associations, and then he had doubts.

Why didn't they find out sooner or later, they started to check only to find that someone had opened the seal of the police station.

Is that man really so stupid to expose his existence in order to return to the scene of the crime?

Subconsciously flipped through the victim records in the file, wanting to see the information of Keppel Leonard's sister.

Donald hadn't read these contents before, after all, it was a case from a long time ago, and even if he knew, it didn't make sense.

Joanna Hopkins. ”

The name came into Donald's field of vision with a black-and-white photograph like a thin needle stuck in the back of his hand.

I got goosebumps in an instant.
