"Is this little old man crazy?" Lin Yiyi muttered quietly.

Mu Lan frowned deeply, Professor Leonard's reaction was very unusual, obviously he had lost his temper to the extreme, his old face was flushed, and his mouth foamed as if he wanted to eat the officer in front of him.

"Calm down, Professor, a gentleman wouldn't make such an expression." The officer was offended and did not get angry, but tried to reassure.

"Be sure to find the tiara! Certain! Leonard re-emphasized.

The police officer sighed, put the notebook he had taken back into his jacket pocket, and said, "I personally brought this thing to the museum, and I am also responsible if it is lost, as for whether it can be recovered...... I can only guarantee that the police will do their best to find it, after all, this is a case involving a cult group. ”

"That's good!" Leonard snorted, his mood seemed to ease a little, he wiped the sweat on his head, and caught a glimpse of Mu Lan and the three out of the corner of his eye.

"You guys are very punctual, but it's a pity that I'm in a mess here, and I can't spare time for the time being."

"It's okay." Mu Lan smiled and said, "Let's just wait in the office, and the professor will get busy first." ”

Leonard nodded, his expression slightly apologetic.

"They are?" The police officer noticed Mu Lan and the three of them, looked at Leonard suspiciously, and looked at them suspiciously.

"I got a few helpers for that matter, Dr. Bourne." Leonard said and raised his voice again, and said with dissatisfaction and resentment: "If the police in Anston had half the efficiency of Cole, the case would have been solved a long time ago!" Damn bureaucracy, taxpayers' money raises a litter of stupid pigs that waste food! ”

Officer Cole laughed dryly, not following Leonard's words and despising a wave of peers, he thought for a moment and said, "Last night at 19 o'clock was the last time you saw the crown, and then you left the office to go to sleep, so it is almost certain that the time of the theft of the crown is within these twelve hours." ”

"The museum is closed during this time...... Officer Cole wondered, "The Newport City Museum is well secured, after all, there are countless precious artifacts here, who can steal something from such a place?" ”

A staff member next to him prompted: "I checked the front and back doors just now, there are no traces of being pried open, and there are so many valuables not to steal, but I want to steal this strange crown, it's really a bit strange......"

"I locked the door before I left." Leonard affirmed, "It's been business as usual today, I unlocked the door and prepared to write a paper on the crown as usual, and then I found that this thing was missing." ”

"Hell, it looks like it disappeared out of thin air!"

"Regardless of how the burglar unlocked the door, one thing is certain, the time for the theft of the crown has been reduced to two hours from the opening of the museum in the morning to the time when the professor finds it." Officer Cole beckoned to several officers and ordered, "Go and bring someone out today's entry record, the suspect may be inside." ”

......

With all these people's discussions in mind, she slowly walked into Leonard's office, all the furnishings were the same as yesterday, and she couldn't imagine that the strange crown that gave her a grotesque nightmare would be stolen after the night passed.

Leonard didn't care about Mu Lan and them, pointed to the tea pot on the desk, and asked them to make it themselves.

"Milk and sugar in the drawer."

Mu Lan didn't have time to drink tea, she gently stroked the wooden table, and recalled the events of yesterday, where Leonard told them the story of Dr. Byrne and the town of Herzros.

"Do you care about that tiara, too?" Lin Yiyi said strangely: "The little old man's reaction is too irritable, even you seem to be a magic barrier, what kind of magic power does this thing have that can make a spiritual power enhancer also be hit?" ”

Mu Lan didn't answer, she didn't know how to explain, in addition to the curiosity in her heart, she also vaguely felt that the crown must be very important, and it might involve an important part of the copy.

"Could it be those cult groups?" Ah Feng said suddenly: "The professor said that the crown came from the cult assembly case cracked by the police, this kind of thing may be their holy relic, or a very important ritual item, there must be someone who wants to take back this crown." ”

"Possibly." Mu Lan thought about it, she fumbled with the items on the desk, and then fixed her eyes on the kerosene lamp.

A fragment flashed in her mind, Mu Lan thought of something, she looked at Ah Feng, and said solemnly: "Do you remember Professor Leonard renewing the lamp oil once?" ”

"Huh?" Ah Feng didn't turn his mind, but he still nodded.

"I just changed the kerosene, why did it burn out so quickly...... Mu Lan learned Leonard's tone and said, "That's what he said at the time." ”

"You mean!" Ah Feng suddenly understood, and said in surprise: "The kerosene lamp has been used, and someone has sneaked into his office before us?" ”

"That's right!" Mu Lan looked at Lin Yiyi, "Do you remember that as soon as we came in, the crown was placed on the table?" ”

Lin Yiyi would also think about it, her eyes widened, "Yes! The little old man thought we took it out! ”

That's right, Mu Lan didn't hesitate, and directly told her thoughts to Officer Cole, who was looking through the registration file.

"You're saying someone sneaked in before the museum closed?" Officer Cole was in disbelief.

"Yes." Mu Lan analyzed: "The thief must have been premeditated for a long time, he has been hiding in the museum, and from time to time he will sneak into Professor Leonard's office to find the location where the crown is hidden, which is also the reason why the kerosene lamp is used up inexplicably, and the front and rear doors that have not been pried open also prove this, the thief did not break in from the outside at all, he has always been here." ”

"Interesting reasoning." Officer Cole flashed a flash of interest, what the girl in front of him said was very likely, and even he couldn't find a flaw.

Professor Leonard's eyes lit up, as if he saw an opportunity to win the crown, and he immediately introduced to Officer Cole: "These are private investigators, and they are all recommended in the industry, and I will take them with me when I go to Herzrostown." ”

"Private detective......" Officer Cole was a little tired of this profession that was deeply entangled with them, but out of politeness, he still did not show a displeased expression, but said meaningfully: "After the museum is closed, you are all in the museum except Professor Leonard, so it seems that you are also very suspicious......"

Mu Lan smiled faintly: "We are suspicious, but don't forget, there was still a person in the museum at that time." ”

"Who is it?" Officer Cole asked.

Leonard thought of something for a moment, he looked at the guard room of the gate in dismay, and muttered, "...... night guard"

Mu Lan thought of a suspicion again, the doorman opened the door too slowly, and the doorman's room was obviously at the main entrance of the museum, she didn't pay attention to it at the time, thinking that the staff were very loose after work, or that other things such as shift handover were busy, and now all corresponded.

Thinking that the doorman wearing the felt hat should be called the night guard now, he must have something directly related to the theft of the tiara, Mu Lan immediately said: "Hurry up and catch him!" Can't let him run away! ”
