Chapter IX: The Third Case (II)
Calvin sighed as the sparrow was dragged down, and he turned to look at Leita, "When did you sparrows become so vulnerable?" and asked, as the knight began to examine the surrounding room layout, hoping for some clues.
"You have no idea where Lady Ilzer is here. She used to be an instructor, and everyone here, including me, was taught by her. She is a kind person and often helps newcomers solve problems, and here at Nestle, everyone treats her as a second finch. Reta defended her companion's ugliness.
"Big sister?" Calvin summed up a little strangely, "When she was with us yesterday, I didn't see how much you respected her, I just felt like an ordinary sparrow. ”
"Of course, this will not make you outsiders see that Lady Ilzer had a chance to promote Raven, but she refused the ceremony. You don't think she's too old to be on the front line now, but she insisted on doing it, and she ended up in her room without incident..."Leta said and lowered her head.
There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the furnishings in the room, you can't get any clues without a detailed investigation, Calvin is not a detective after all, it's okay to track down monsters, and the investigation of the murder has to rely on this group of sparrows "What's the matter with her daughter?" he continued to ask for details.
"It was the adopted daughter of Lady Ilzer, who had been an orphan for many years, and was now twelve years old. Reta thought for a moment, "It should be... Still at Nestle, you're going to see her?"
"Let's go in a moment. Calvin paid attention to Lot, who was crouching on the ground, "Did you find anything, kid?"
"Yes. Lott stood up, holding the rose in his hand, "Mr. Calvin, take a look, do you think this rose is any different?"
When the boy said this, Calvin took the rose and looked at it carefully, black blood stains stained the surface of the petals, "What are you referring to?" The knight didn't find anything special.
"There is no blood in this flower. Lott brushed aside the rose and fingered.
"It's funny," Calvin saw that the inside of the rose was indeed clean, "but yesterday's description of the flowers was also Ilzer's side, and we still have to see the other flowers to judge." And that's not enough to prove anything. ”
Calvin handed the flower to Reta on the side, "By the way, little girl, how long have you been a sparrow?"
"Me?" she said, taking the rose, "two or three years." Her voice fell.
"It's really immature. Usually in charge of surveillance, right, you haven't had much contact with this kind of case, right?" Calvin didn't show mercy, "Turn your head away." The next scenario may not be acceptable to you. ”
"Huh?" Reta hadn't reacted at first, but she quickly closed her eyes as she saw the knight leaning over Ilze's body.
"Lot, are you okay with the human body?" Calvin looked at his disciple, he needed an assistant.
Although the boy has been through a lot, but dealing with a corpse like this, he is some... Embarrassment, Lott did not respond for a while.
"It doesn't matter. Calvin turned to look at the sparrows around him, "Are there any sparrows here who are good at autopsies, give me a hand." ”
"We can take the body to Nestle... There's no need to be direct here... Autopsy. Reta closed her eyes and didn't dare to look.
"What I want to know is simple, it doesn't have to be that much trouble, and we don't have a lot of time. "The knight did not change the decision" who there is
Yes?"
"I'll do it. A voice came from outside the door.
The crowd looked to the door, "Mother Sparrow, why are you here?" and several sparrows called out.
This woman does not look young, she should be about forty years old, and she wears very ordinary clothes, unlike those sparrows, who are uniform in black uniforms, with no jewelry on her body, and no weapons around her waist, if others do not say that she is a finch mother, she will definitely be regarded as an ordinary woman.
"You all go down, the autopsy needs to make some space. The mother gave the order, and the sparrows left the room, and Reta was gone.
"Thank you very much for your assistance, Mother Finch. The knight stood up, as the leader of the sparrows in this town, the mother of the sparrows rarely appeared in front of outsiders in order to keep the mystery of the nest, and this time it seemed that the sparrows were really provoked.
Lott was standing next to Calvin at this point, and it was a rare opportunity for him to see the whole process.
"I owe it to me. "Mother Finch looked down at Ilze's corpse" It was Ilzer who suggested that I ask Jasdella for help, but she didn't expect to have an accident just a few days later. ”
"I'm sorry about that. Calvin crouched down again, "Let's get started, Mother Sparrow. ”
"Before that. Mother Finch said and walked over, "Can you tell me what the hell is made of?"
Calvin looked up, the other party was the mother finch, and the facts were basically confirmed, he decided not to hide it "It is likely to be... Bloodsucker. He spoke softly, as if afraid that others would hear him.
Mother Finch looked at the knight with a look of surprise on her face, "Vampire?" she repeated.
"Based on the current clues, this is the most likely speculation. Calvin pointed to the huge opening in front of Ilze, "Ordinary people can't do this level of destruction, and you can't do crimes on your sparrow's territory without considerable wisdom and means." ”
Mother Sparrow looked down at Ilze's face, which was still full of pain, her eyes were not closed, her mouth was wide open, as if she was screaming, "Then it is not an opponent that our sparrows can handle." ”
"Modrilla is trying to figure it out. Before the people of the church come, we adventurers will do our best. It's up to you what the sparrows do, Mother Sparrow. Calvin got straight to the point.
"This is the land of Pamela, and we sparrows will not back down no matter what comes. If he likes to eat one every three days and can't stop it, I can't let him continue to hurt the citizens of the city even if I feed him sparrows. It may seem like a high-sounding remark to others, but Calvin and Lott at the scene could tell from the woman's face that she meant it. Mother Sparrow is not young, she has many old injuries when she was young, and when she slowly squats down, she can see that she is a little physically handicap, and Lott wants to go over and help her.
But the woman glared at her, and the boy didn't dare to move, and the sparrows were also dignified, and the boy was an outsider after all. Slowly leaning down and straightening her posture, the finch mother said, "My people, I'll come to test, please be responsible for the record, okay?"
Although it is a question for opinions, everyone who understands it knows that this is not a question sentence, and the knight is not the kind of person who is abrupt. Nodding, Calvin stood up and picked up the pen and paper that the sparrow had left behind, "Please begin, Mother Sparrow." ”
Looking at the corpse of her former subordinate, the eyes of the finch mother were full of reluctance, and her hand gently caressed Ilze's face, and the finch mother closed her eyes, "The pupils are narrowed, and she was frightened before she died." ”
Then she spun around
The corpse's arms, which were spotted and visibly stiff, then she took out the dagger, which was hidden in her sleeve, and she cut open parts of the corpse "Time of death... Around one o'clock in the morning, it was the time of the shift change, and there should be people in the aisles..."
"Around one o'clock in the morning?" Calvin nodded, recording "don't overthink it, go ahead." ”
Mother Finch played with the huge opening on Ilze's chest with her hand, "The chest was cut open by a sharp weapon, there is no trace of a second scratch, it should be caused by a blow, stomach, lungs, heart, liver, intestines... All the organs in the torso were directly destroyed, the ribs were broken ... There are also three inner ribs intact. The internal wound showed multiple signs of damage and was the result of repeated injury movements. ”
Calvin didn't say anything more, just calmly wrote down what the finch mother said, and Lott looked at all this, he didn't close his eyes out of fear, and his eyes didn't show irritable emotions, as if he was in a daze.
Mother Finch gently lifted the body up, "with no wounds on her back, no wounds on her limbs, no signs of struggle or struggle." Then she aimed the dagger at Ilzer's head.
"No need!" Calvin immediately stopped her, "No need, the head is fine, no need... Enough of this information, there is certainly no problem with the head. ”
Mother Finch looked at Calvin, she didn't say anything, turned to Ilzer's head and scratched it down, "There is no wound on the head, no impact on the brain, no foreign objects in the mouth." ”
Calvin and Lowe couldn't bear to look at it very much, the mother finch did a very thorough and serious autopsy, this kind of behavior is even more worrying, as a person who only has a day of fate, she can't bear to do it, but the mother finch can complete this matter calmly and meticulously as her colleague. Calvin felt that if he came, he would never be able to do it.
"The neck has a huge... This is a bite mark, the same as the first two corpses. It's a vampire. When the examination was over, the mother finch stood up.
"Wait. Calvin suddenly stopped her, "Tooth marks?"
"It's a bite mark, much more obvious than a tooth mark. Mother Finch corrected, "Half of the neck was bitten off." ”
"Can you compare this bite mark with the two corpses from before? Glancing at Lot, Calvin thought it was a good opportunity, and if Lott suspected the killer differently because of the different roses, then the bite marks should be evidence to prove it.
The mother finch looked at the knight, "Yes, I'll arrange for someone to do it right away." Do you have any other questions?"
"No, thank you very much, Mother Finch. Calvin held out his hand.
The mother finch looked at her bloody hands and shook her hands, "It's too dirty, you still have to investigate later, it's hard to wash your hands." I will ask the sparrows to cooperate with you and go to the investigation with confidence. With that, she turned and left.
After a while after she went out, the sparrows re-entered, and Reta walked over to the two of them, "What now?"
"We're going to Nestle. Calvin responded.
"Go there... Look at Miss Ilzer's daughter?" Retta guessed.
"Yes. The knight nodded, as I had just mentioned, and now was the time.
"Then please come with me. Reta turned and led them away, "I'm sorry, I... Not as good as Ms. Ilzer, and not very helpful in the investigation. ”
"Enough. Calvin shook his head, "Even if she's alive now, it doesn't necessarily make any difference, trying to catch that thing... Now these clues are far from enough. ”
