"Trust, the key to this case is actually these two words. Assuming that Elstein had fully believed in his sister, there would have been no whole affair at all. In the same way, when I first went to see Erin, I told her all about my intentions, the commission of Elstein, and I thought it was very impolite to deceive such a lady. But she still didn't fully trust me, which made it take me longer to see the whole thing. The cat sat in front of the window, staring at the foggy glass around him and said.

Wang Xu leaned against the fire and drank black tea: "Why don't you use 'soul touch' to look at her memories directly, just shake hands and everything will be solved, why bother to take the time to gain her trust." ”

Mao Ye replied: "The end of the nineteenth century was an era that really belonged to detectives, and if you knew enough about this profession, you would not question my actions. ”

"You mean, it's rare that you're back in the age and it's uncomfortable not to play a role-play thoroughly, so you have to solve everything as a reasoner."

Mao Ye did not deny Wang Xu's words, he continued: "You have to understand that detectives should not be in our era, stalking and secretly taking photos of other people's cheating, helping snotty children find pets that can never be found, and may even be his imaginary pets, etc." Those jobs are a waste of life.

It is undeniable that the type of eating purely by reasoning will no longer be popular in the future, because we have the most advanced scientific detective technology, and there are cameras everywhere in public places, while law enforcement agencies further invade personal privacy, they constantly emphasize the dangers of private law enforcement and the destruction of judicial order.

If the twentieth century has entered a 'post-detective era', then the twenty-first century is already an era of despair. Even Hollywood screenwriters have a hard time creating Sherlock Holmes-esque works in such years. They can only make up some mystery dramas like "Crime Scene Investigation", the police and the detective are actually two very different things, and the resources that the official personnel can enjoy, private detectives cannot compare with them. As for the recent "Psychic Murder", hehe...... I can't blame them, they just use the supernatural as a selling point, and we are professionals, so I won't talk about malicious criticism. ”

Wang Xu still had a nonchalant expression: "Anyway, I will definitely not do this business in the future, since you are so obsessed with your own personal reasoning show, then bear it......"

While they were chatting, the footsteps of Mrs. Halderson came from the hallway, and she knocked lightly on the door, and said outside, "A young gentleman asks to see me." ”

"Please let him come up, thank you, Mrs. Halderson." The cat master responded, and he immediately turned to Wang Xu and said, "If the person who came is a policeman, it proves that Alstein has truly fulfilled his promise." ”

Wang Xu said: "I have always wanted to ask you about this, how do you confirm that Elsstein has a deep foundation in the police world, that kind of information, it is difficult to find out with your current identity." ”

"Hah! Do you still need to check this? Don't forget, he said when he first came that he had sent two men to Erin's house to shoplift, so I could immediately come up with two assumptions, the first of which was that he had a close relationship with the people of the city, which I immediately denied, because then he would not have tried to find a detective like us, and he could have found a more suitable person in this vat-like fog, at least, more 'loyal' than me.

Moreover, when I came into contact with this incident later, I also felt more and more that the two guys sent by Elsstein to keep an eye on were very unprofessional, they were not good at this kind of thing, and their business level was not as good as those street children who were pocketing people on the street. I think Elsstein's final plan was to have these two guys cover their faces and rush in and ask Erin for the proof of origin. ”

Wang Xu continued: "So, only your second hypothesis can explain why he was able to break the law and not be prosecuted...... He has dealings with the police, and small cases like those of burglary can be suppressed in a way. ”

"That's right, that's why, I don't want money, but for him to make a big splash for us in the police world."

They stopped talking, for the visitor had arrived at the door and knocked on the door of the reception room.

"Please come in." The cat said.

A well-dressed young man walked in, his eyes as sharp as those of a falcon, and the bony contours of his face made him look alert.

"Which one is Mr. Logan?"

"I am, this is my assistant, Mr. Atkinson."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Grant Amberley and I currently work at Scotland Yard."

"Sit down, young detective, I think you must have something wrong and need some advice and help."

Amberley sat down on the couch, "Mind if I smoke?" ”

"Please."

He lit a cigarette for himself and said, "You're right, I've got into a rather bizarre case and am in trouble, so I need some advice from other detectives. Just yesterday, one of my old superiors recommended you to me. ”

Wang Xu said to the cat master with a Chinese: "It seems that Elsstein's propaganda is really immediate...... It's only been a few days, and the old sheriff has recommended it. ”

The cat master sneered: "Hmph...... Bizarre case...... Hopefully this kid knows what he's talking about. After he finished speaking, he changed his words and said to Amberley in English: "I will be happy to help, so please tell me the facts of the case." ”

Amberley said: "It should have started three days ago, at eight o'clock that night, a scruffy homeless man came to the police station to report the crime, claiming that he had witnessed a murder and asked us to go with him to see the body.

So I went with him with a group of men, not very far away, at the end of the Lembes district, at No. 3 Pinqin Lane, which was a taxidermy shop, and our witnesses said that the body was in an alley behind.

We followed him in, but found nothing, and some of my men were furious, thinking that the informant must have been drunk and had the audacity to fool the police......"

Mao Ye interjected with a smile: "But you have a different opinion." ”

This should be regarded as the cat master praising him around the bend, obviously Amberley is also very useful, and his face is slightly meaningful: "Although there is no body lying there, and there is no direct evidence such as bloodstains, I have found some traces that can be regarded as indirect evidence." ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

Amberly didn't answer immediately, he said: "This is not in a hurry to discuss, what bothers me is not whether the homicide exists or not, the problem I encountered is that the homeless man who came to report the crime that day, the middle-aged man who called himself John, he completely disappeared from this world the next day, like evaporation, without the slightest trace ......"
