For a while, everyone in the conference room looked at Bai Ge's location.

In this regard, Bai Ge only took off his top hat and nodded in greeting.

He is not an important character, and since Sheriff Victor has already introduced his name, Bai Ge naturally doesn't need to say more.

However, the detectives in the conference room all showed thoughtful expressions, and one of them, a young detective in a pure white suit with slightly curly blonde hair, even spoke.

"Is this the detective who solved the murder of the liner Cleos, much younger than I thought?"

Aren't you young too......

Bai Ge didn't answer, only smiled and saluted.

He knew that the other party was also young and promising by pointing out Yassen Hercule, but everyone here should be smart people, and this little caution is not worth bringing up.

The investigation meeting began soon, and the basic content, Bai Ge had already learned from the information given to him by [Lao Tzu's World's No. 1 Cute], so he didn't listen very attentively, although the pen in his hand was writing something in the notebook, but it was not the information of the case, but the shopping list after getting the money next.

Do you have to buy a toaster?

The second floor is still a little damp, so I want to buy a dryer.

Shouldn't the oven be prepared and Helletsen should be able to make small cookies?

You can also prepare a set of clothes that are made and worn on formal occasions, but fortunately it is winter, so you don't need to change your coat every day......

In the interval between divergent thoughts, Bai Ge also got to know the detectives who participated in the meeting.

The detective in the pure white suit with slightly curly blond hair was named Manfred Dannay, twenty-six years old, a graduate of the school, his father was one of the directors of the Greenwich Consortium, he was good at using all kinds of scientific methods to search for cases, he had the title of the noble son of the Pan-Western Sea detective world, and of course, he was also an ascender, and at least he had already gained a name.

The middle-aged gentleman with gray hair, wearing a brown suit, wearing monocles, and looking polite is Devon Porter Vance, a famous detective in the Pan Western Sea, who has a close relationship with the police, and is also the leader of this joint detective operation.

Sitting at the front, an old woman with gray hair and three braids is Charlotte Austin, although she seems to be physically weak, she is very good at reasoning, and it is rumored that she sat in an easy chair and solved a murder case just by hearsay, also known as the "detective in the easy chair".

In addition, there is Henry Lucas, who is more like a bounty hunter than a detective, wearing a sailor's shirt, leather pants, long boots, a revolver with direct visibility under his armpit, and a face as hard as a knife.

James Hammond is a solitary detective with a hooked nose and dark eyes, wearing a long Greenwich-style cape that seems to carry an umbrella with him.

These detectives came to Alexandria from other places, so it can be seen that they put the most effort into the case, and as for the others, most of them are similar to Bai Ge, either because of their relationship or on the impromptu basis, they are tax thieves who have been pulled in.

“...... For these reasons, we believe that the offender may have left Alexandria to commit crimes in other cities, and based on the pattern of previous cases, we have listed several cities where the crime may have been committed......"

Sergeant Victor typed out the information with a slide.

On January 7, York Asacher died of a wasp sting.

On January 8, Ruben Xavier died of narcotic gas poisoning.

On January 14, Warren Camille died of drowning.

On January 16, Veronica Graves died of suffocation in a plastic bag.

On January 17, Upton Brussels, died alive.

On January 19, Ginny Reze died by hanging.

On January 22, Sharon Quentin died of mercury poisoning.

This is the information of the deceased so far, and Bai Ge is already familiar with it.

Since 22 January, there has been no news of the offender continuing to commit crimes, and it is not known for what reason.

"As I emphasized, we now need to find a pattern in which the offender chooses the target of the crime, and only then can we solve this case."

Bounty hunter-like Henry Lucas lit a cigarette, and the room was not reluctant to say that cigarettes were an essential stress-relieving pastime for these detectives and cops.

Bai Ge didn't like the smell of smoke very much, so he leaned against the window.

"But there is no pattern at the moment, these people don't even know each other at all, they belong to different cities, maybe this is really a group crime made by alchemy dolls."

Alone, James Hammond laughed wryly.

"I agree with Mr. James, but for most people it's not an acceptable answer."

After Sergeant Victor finished speaking, he took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand and exhaled a long smoke.

"I think if the murderer really did it alone, would he have actually wanted to kill some of these people, but killed the others to cover up that purpose."

Ms. Charlotte Austin was also not very fond of cigarettes, and frowned slightly, away from the bounty hunters beside her.

"It's very likely, but we investigated all the people around the deceased, and there are no suspects who can commit these cases in a row."

Sheriff Victor shook off the soot and shrugged.

"It's better to start with the latest case, the murderer may be a passenger of the Cleos, after all, this passenger ship has been traveling on the New Mediterranean all night, and the prisoner should not be able to get on the ship halfway and leave."

In a white suit, the young master Manfred Dannay looked at the absent-minded Bai Ge.

"Mr. Yasen, did you spot any suspicious people on the ship at that time?"

"Huh?"

Bai Ge was like a student who was suddenly called up by the teacher to answer a question when he was distracted in class, and his eyes lifted from the notebook full of shopping lists and looked at everyone.

"Suspicious elements on board...... It was probably the deceased and her boyfriend. ”

Bai Ge chuckled lightly and then said.

"Moreover, I do not believe that the murderer committed the crime while the passenger liner was moving."

"Why?"

On the side of the long table, Davenport Vance, a middle-aged gentleman with white hair, looked over with some curiosity and asked.

"Quite simply, the Pan Xihai Daily is on sale at 6 p.m. every night, and the issue with crossword puzzles is the one on Thursday, January 21, and theoretically, the newspaper will only circulate after 6 p.m. on January 21."

Bai Ge put down his pen and explained easily.

"And the time of the departure of the Cleos from the port is three o'clock in the afternoon of the 21st, that is to say, when the Cleos departed, this issue of the newspaper with crossword puzzles had not yet been officially put on sale, and it was impossible for the people on board to get this newspaper, then, since it would appear at the side of the deceased, it means that the person who killed her was at least the one who was still on shore after six o'clock in the afternoon of the 21st, and he only got on board after the arrival of the Cleos on the 22nd, killed Ms. Sharon, and left the newspaper behind."

"Of course, it is also possible that the prisoner committed the crime together, or after killing Ms. Sharon that night, he got off the ship and left the newspaper the next day, and it may even be a newspaper insider, in order to promote the sales of the Pan Western Sea Daily, but I think the prisoner does not have to go to such a great length, he wants to clear the suspicion of the people on the ship, he only needs to wait for Miss Sharon to be taken away by the police before taking it down, after all, if he dies on the ship, the whole ship will be investigated."

Just like Bai Ge and Ruan Thanh Thu that night, presumably the other passengers of the Cleos had already accepted the same questioning.

Hearing Bai Ge's reasoning, several detectives showed some comprehension on their faces.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, the prisoner shouldn't be so simple to expose the scope of his possible existence."

The gray-haired gentleman, Devonport Vance, bowed his head.

"In this case, there are no more clues......

Henry Lucas took a sharp puff on his cigarette and seemed rather distressed.

Seeing that everyone's attention was no longer on him, Bai Ge lowered his head again and began to touch the fish.

He simply wrote down the names and death information of the victims, the time, etc., and circled a few points, but his mind was not seriously thinking, but thinking about what lunch should be eaten at noon.

The juice drinks in Alexandria are very good, Bai Ge likes them very much, and the seafood burritos with a spicy flavor are a treat.

"I also insisted that the prisoner committed the crime according to the law, and maybe we accidentally missed some details."

Bounty hunter Henry Lucas spoke again.

"Henry, I have done the most detailed analysis of all the scenes, all the possible clues are here, it turns out that there is no connection between these victims, I have emphasized several times, this is a very vicious, no human base murderer, he is likely to kill people randomly, leaving nursery rhymes to provoke the police."

In a white suit, young Manfred Dannay explained.

"Hehe, I think he's a pleasure criminal, and he takes pleasure in provoking the police, but killing people should still follow certain rules, and it will cause a kind of serial murder to continue, because of the incompetence of the police and us detectives, which makes him even more pleasant."

James Hammond, who was wearing a long cloak and carrying an umbrella, said with a slightly cloudy expression and a smile.

"I wonder what Mr. Yasin thinks?"

At this time, the white-haired old woman with three braids, Charlotte Austin looked at Bai Ge with a smile.

I don't have much to think about......

Despite this, Bai Ge couldn't answer like this, so he simply glanced at his notes and soon noticed something strange.

"Hmm...... In other words, this Mr. Ruben Xavier died of suffocation caused by an overdose of inhaled narcotic gas, why should this anesthetic gas choose xenon instead of ether or the like, obviously the latter should have a better anesthetic effect. ”

Bai Ge casually said a puzzle of his own.

"Is there any special reason why he chose xenon?"

"Or ......"

Bai Ge spread his hands.

"Is there a specific justification for the method of killing he used for each of his victims?"
