Chapter 46: Killing Without Reason

Holding a magnifying glass in his hand, the sculptor pale as he examined the cracks on the statue.

"Don't be my fault......"

The sculptor kept muttering, God knows how worried he was about the statue right now.

"Is there a result?"

Donald, who had been waiting next to him for nearly 10 minutes, looked at the sculptor's twisted appearance, frowned, and asked directly.

"Mr. Mayor, judging from the marks on the surface of the sculpture, it is not like an ordinary tool to destroy it...... In fact, it's not so much damaged by something as it is broken from the inside out, and this usually only happens when a sculpture is decades after it was completed, and this statue was recently completed, and I really can't see what it was damaged by. ”

Although it was not a problem of his own skills, the failure to find out the cause of the damage of the statue still made the sculptor pinch a cold sweat.

"How long will it take?"

Donald knew that the statue must have been destroyed by some alien, and he didn't expect the sculptor to be able to distinguish this ability, so he asked directly.

"It can be repaired in three days, do you want to repair it on site, or do you want me to bring it back to the workshop?"

If it is restored on the spot, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be watched by the public, so the sculptor tends to bring the statue back first, but because Donald is present, he does not dare to decide at will.

"Director Gwen, make an announcement that the statue is not perfect enough, so it should be sent back to the workshop for refinement for the time being, and you can arrange for a few people to stay next to the rest of the statues in the city, so that there will be no second destroyed statue...... If you find a suspect, contact Director Anthony of the Bureau of Anomalies as soon as possible, understand?"

Donald has no way to lock on to the suspect for the time being, there are no clues left at the scene, and there are no witnesses, so he can't lock the target out of thin air, so he can only deal with it according to the normal process first.

However, Donald did not go directly back to the Talos family's villa after dealing with the affairs here, but chose to wait for the results on Anthony's side with Stephanie.

"Who will destroy the statue of the black-robed sage, the family members of those 'cancer' that we killed before?"

The two sat in the café enjoying pastries, and Stephanie saw that there were no outsiders around, and sat down next to Donald and asked in a low voice.

There is a result, there is naturally a reason, the statue of the black-robed saint is Donald, that is, the mayor of Renas personally ordered to go down, and people with a little brain know that these statues cannot be moved, otherwise they are provoking the Renas city government.

And now that someone dares to do this, it is obviously an act of revenge with a grudge in Stephanie's eyes.

"It's unlikely, those families have already been broken by us, and now they are barely surviving by relying on the Talos family, they are not that stupid. ”

Stephanie took into account what Donald had done before, but she didn't expect that Donald's current identity was Selvette Taros, and the families that were destroyed by the black-robed sage were now using all their own resources in exchange for the protection of the Talos family, on the other hand, these people, whether they were net worth or lives, were actually in Donald's hands.

Coming to Donald for trouble at this time is tantamount to digging one's own grave.

"Who else would it be, and it seems that these are the only people who will be dissatisfied with this statue now. ”

Who would be a normal person to be on a par with a statue?

"It's a bit weird right now, and I don't have a clue for the time being..... Let's wait for news from Anthony's side. ”

Donald held the card from Gulliver's Circus in his hand, and took a sip of his coffee with his empty hand, the destruction of the statue was something he hadn't thought about before.

He didn't have to wait long before Anthony walked briskly from the corner of the street not far away.

Donald asked him for a cup of coffee in advance.

"The deceased was a fruit stall owner who died with a frightened look on his face and an apple core in his hand, which, according to preliminary examination, showed no injuries on the surface of his body...... The condition of the internal organs is unknown, and the doctor will have to dissect it to be determined, but my intuition tells me that the cause of his death has nothing to do with physical injuries, but rather mental problems. ”

The meaning of Anthony's words is very clear, it should be a stranger who does it, but why would a stranger attack a fruit stall owner?

"Is there anything special about the background of the fruit stall owner?"

Whether he committed the murder during the day in the downtown area, or killed the fruit stall owner in this strange way, Donald thinks there must be some internal reason.

"That's the problem, I've just asked several families near the fruit stall, and their answers are very consistent, this fruit stall owner has no background at all, he has been a resident of Renas since he was a child, and there are even two old people who grew up watching him...... I also sent two members of the Bureau of Anomalies to search his residence, and there was no trace of rummaging and no suspicious items were found. ”

Speaking of this, Anthony's expression was also a little annoyed, the murderer killed a fruit stall owner, what is the picture?

"No witnesses?"

"Yes, after asking around, only people saw the stall owner suddenly fall down, convulsed twice and lost his breath. ”

"Look, haven't we found a common ground...... Waiter, do you have a map of the area around here?"

Donald narrowed his eyes and asked as he suddenly looked at the waiter who was busy behind the counter.

"Sir, there is only a map map of the rich district. ”

The waiter flipped through a palm-sized map and sent it over.

Donald asked him for a pen and circled the location of the black-robed Sage statue and the location of the murder on the map.

Then draw a few possible routes along the street between the two points.

"Who is earlier in the time of the murder at the fruit stand and the time when the statue of the black-robed sage was destroyed?"

"I think the fruit stand homicide was earlier, and when I went to the fruit stand, part of the work was already going on. ”

"It all happened more than an hour ago, and the fruit stand was even earlier...... Do you think there is a possibility that the murderer killed the stall owner at the fruit stall first, and then came to the statue through one of these routes and destroyed the statue again?"

The two incidents seem to be unrelated, but the timing is too coincidental to make people suspicious.

"Why, why did he do it?"

After listening to Donald's thoughts, Anthony asked directly.

Even if what Donald said is true, then you have to find the reason why the murderer did it before you can find a way to catch the murderer, otherwise even if you know the murderer's crime route, it will be meaningless.

"Anthony, did you see this card near the fruit stand?"

The index finger pressed the corner of the card, and with a slight turn, he watched the card spin between the two fingers, and then let go of his hand, and the card still flew from the card to Anthony's hand.

"Gulliver's Circus...... Yes, I've seen one on the roof of a fruit stand!"

Picking up the card and glancing at it, Anthony said.

"That's the second commonality, this card appears in both places, and I can feel some residual energy on the card, and I just want to find a pastime to watch the show together later?"

Donald had picked up the card in the flower bed because of his energy-shaping talent, and he felt the subtle flow of energy on the card.

Regardless of whether the person who sent the card was a murderer or not, Donald was ready to "get acquainted".
