Chapter 237: "The Curly-Haired Woman"

Draenor looked at the pool of dried blood on the ground, and mustered up the courage to stare at the head again, which was indeed somewhat similar to what he remembered.

At that time, his group was walking towards the registration hall with Jett, and was accidentally stopped by the bloated proprietress who didn't expect her to be the victim of this case, Lotta's sister - Gloca. Serea.

"The murderer is for Gloca's property, and it seems that he has been planning for a long time......"

Just as he was about to tell Jett about the speculation that had been pushed to the top, he suddenly noticed the flickering debris on Lin's face.

It's glass...... He looked in the direction of the denser debris, where there was a ventilation window that was just up to his legs, and from his previous angle it was just blocked by the black single couch, no wonder he hadn't noticed it before.

Keeping his feet away from the shards of glass, he approached the window a little as Draenor crouched down and reached out to touch the rough scratches around the window frame. Two pairs of prints were left, more like the scratches of some kind of animal, one inward-pulling the metal window frame into shape, the other stained with blood and crawling down the wall like a crawl.

Strangely, there were no footprints in sight between the scarlet handprints, only a wide mark that resembled the hind feet of a canine......

"I think I've got some clues now." Delano helped Lotta to her feet and led her out of the room.

"Why...... Why did you kill her......" Lotta asked, leaning against the doorframe into the cold air, the pointless question was the only way she could vent her grief.

"It's for ......money," Draenor replied, waving at Jett to leave the room and draping his trench coat over Lotta's body, "The villain will do anything for the money, and once again, I'm sorry for what happened to you, but trust us, the Knights will find the murderer." ”

"I'll take Ms. Serrea back to the guild first. If you stay here, inform Instructor Lucia immediately, bring as many people as possible to conduct a second investigation, even if you're on vacation, and ask the Guild Hospital to perform an autopsy on the victim for the Night's Watch. The rest will be ...... when you get to the guild" Before leaving, Draenor did not forget to give Jett a final command, and returned to the carriage with Lotta, heading in the direction of the guild.

……

Sitting in a wooden chair in the conference room, Draenor mechanically flipped through the papers. During the festival, the guild was also much deserted, and the colleagues on duty downstairs were taking notes without saying a word, and the only ones left were the guards standing at the door.

It's so quiet that it's chilling...... Draenor closed the papers, the biting cold wind preventing him from concentrating, so he closed the window and filled the fireplace with two sticks of wood while waiting for the others to return.

Suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps downstairs, and he walked down the stairs to the third floor, and then Dino rushed to the conference room Zheng one step earlier

"You're alone?" The captain stood in the doorway and paused for a moment, wrapped his coat in one hand and pulled a chair in the other hand to the fireplace and sat down. "Jett is behind them, and Captain Stepan is here...... Where are the victims? ”

Question after question came to Draenor, he got up and moved to the captain's side, looked at the fireplace and replied, "There are not many people in the first place, and there are even fewer people during the vacation, and Ms. Lotta is resting in the duty room downstairs...... You're late, how is the investigation going? ”

"I don't know, I met them on the road, and I was sleeping at home until then...... Now you can only follow the notice to go to the guild and stand by. The captain shrugged his shoulders, pulled a new cigar from his bosom, lit it and held it to his lips.

What a laid-back guy...... Draenor rubbed his eyes, and at this time the other two also came to the conference room Zheng

"The corpse has already gone over the guild hospital, and there is zero time delay on the way......" Jett gasped and walked over to the two, standing by the fireplace and reaching out to touch the long-lost warm current.

"The result?" Draenor succinctly addressed Jett with his own question.

"Captain Stepan, give him the logs."

The nervous knight turned his head towards Jay and handed the document hidden in his arms to Langlano Zheng

Quite different from the previous document, the handwriting on it is very clear and the logic is rigorous, the only problem is ...... The content, time and place are completely inconsistent with this case.

"December 26th...... Mistaken, right? This is a case from a long time ago! Isn't there anything serious about discovering anything? Draenor wondered.

"That's the new discovery." Jett rubbed his hands together at the fireplace and pointed to the paper, "A week ago, Captain Stepan found out about a similar case at 16 Narcissus Street. The victims were a husband and wife, the husband was missing, and the wife was ...... when she was found Because no more specific clues could be found, the investigation of the case was very difficult. ”

"Similar cases......" Draenor took a composure and read the document carefully, his eyes lingering on the victim's description, "'The victim is a Xilin woman, 42 years old, with curly blond hair...... Does it have anything to do with this case? ”

"Think about it, what did you see at the crime scene on Lily of the Valley Road?" Jett said to him solemnly.

Surely the same is about the appearance of the victims, the feminine, the blond curly hair...... That proprietress also has curly blond hair!

"I'm sure you've guessed it, that's what the two cases have in common, it seems that the killer had a special fetish for women with curly blond hair." Jett rubbed his chin and muttered.

"And there are also dog paw prints at the scene of the crime, and maybe the murderer also carried a hunting dog." Stepan added, out of the way of the unrealistic conjecture.

"No...... It acts alone. Draenor shook his head with a wry smile, the first to dismiss the Stept hypothesis.

It's too obvious that the killer is not human at all, and there is only one possibility that it is chasing and killing women with obvious characteristics.

"The murderer is a bestiac."

While everyone was silent, Draenor suddenly said this.

And he didn't finish that sentence, the murderer was not only a patient who became a beast because of his bestial nature, it also had a clear purpose, it could only be to find someone...... And that person is most likely Vicilico, and perhaps all this is still a Yazrao conspiracy.

Dino was not the first to jump out against it, as he had imagined, he was silent, looking at the burning firewood. He must have thought of his previous encounter at the Stroud Sanatorium, and that encounter was enough to convince him of the existence of bestiality, and that it was not just a horror story.

"That's right, bestiality." Draenor nodded, reaffirming his guess.

"If that's really the case, then why did you lie to Lotta, and the murderer was for money?" Jett asked.

"Sometimes a white lie is necessary, at least it's more acceptable than the truth." "She must have thought the same thing in her own heart, that the only reason why a stranger she didn't know would kill her sister was for money." ”

"How did you come to this conclusion, 'bestiality'?" Dino finally opened his mouth to question it.

"First of all, assuming that the killer in both cases was the same person, if it was just for money, he could have killed Ms. Gloca, but she didn't have much cash with her at the time, and the victim in the other case lived in Narcissus Street, which is known as the 'ghetto,' so this law simply doesn't hold water." Draenor pulled out all the testimonies that were neatly stacked in his head.

"But what if the murderer is completely crazy and perverted? This possibility cannot be ruled out either. Jett added.

"You should have noticed during the second investigation that the victim was torn to pieces with his bare hands, obviously not human, and those footprints left by the window can also prove this, don't tell me you didn't see clearly." Draenor still remembered the dark red footprints, and even the most careless Jett should never let go of this clue.

"And the bestiality patient can't move in white, and it can't run far in one night. I had already confirmed that following those footprints was the square to the northeast of the residential buildings on Lily of the Valley, and now I just need to be ready, and when the commander gives the order, we can rush to track it. ”

It seems that there is no room for refutation from the people around him. Dino was listening to the thick soot at the end of the cigar when it suddenly broke and fell, burning a hole in the breeches that he had just bought.

"Damn it......" Dino immediately stood up and shook off the ash, patted his pants, and threw the cigar whole into the fireplace, "then what next, the commander who can give orders hasn't arrived yet, we can't just sit here and wait, right?" ”

"No, there's a chief who has been sitting here since the beginning." Draenor glanced around the group, and finally his eyes fell on Lenno.

Jett nodded knowingly, stood up, and looked at Dino firmly.

"There's no time for inking...... Captain, give the order! The Night's Watch is ready. ”
