"This is the scene of the crime." Sheriff Tim stopped in a room and turned the lock a few times, but the door did not open as he expected, which angered Sheriff Tim, and then he raised his left foot in cowboy boots and kicked the door, and with a bang, the door made close contact with the wall, and the whole room suddenly stirred up a puff of smoke.

"Zheng Hanfei, what do you think of this Sheriff Tim?" Ouyang Xiu touched Zheng Hanfei's shoulder, and his eyes never took off Sheriff Tim's body, as if he was on guard against something.

"He's kind of scary." Zheng Hanfei replied truthfully, "But being a policeman is not a model, and I don't care much about my appearance, but judging from his actions just now, he is really not suitable to be a policeman." I don't think any policeman would be stupid enough to break down the door and destroy the scene of the crime. ”

"It's about the same as I thought." A smile appeared on the corner of Ouyang Xiu's mouth, and he followed Sergeant Tim into the room, urging at the same time, "Zheng Hanfei, you'd better hurry up, don't let Sheriff Tim wait." ”

Zheng Hanfei didn't speak, just silently followed behind Ouyang Xiu, and after they walked into the scene of the crime, the blood stains on a desk immediately attracted their attention, this desk was close to a window, and on the glass of the window, they could see a bullet mark in the upper right corner of the glass.

"It looks like one of the shots came in from the outside." Zheng Hanfei muttered, then turned his head and asked Sergeant Tim, "This shot was shot on the earl's head?" Or hit the Count in the heart? ”

"Heart-to-heart." Sergeant Tim took out a notebook from his pocket, looked at it a few times, and began to answer Zheng Hanfei's question, "But the real cause of death of Earl McGee was a shot in the head, the scar was near the temple, and the shot to the heart was through the chest." ”

"In other words, one of Earl McGee's two bullet marks came from outside the window, and the other came from the Earl's side, and it seems that there is more than one person who wants to kill Earl McGee." Ouyang Xiu touched his chin, as if he remembered something, and said to Sergeant Tim, "By the way, Earl McGee died at this desk, what was he like at that time?" ”

"With the murder weapon in his hand, his body leaning back in his chair, and his head bowed, it looked like he had committed suicide." Sergeant Tim said patiently, "But we noticed that Earl McGee's right hand had been resting on the table, and we felt that something was wrong, so we moved away and found that there was a word written on it in blood, and that word was ......"

"Daily!" Ouyang Xiu had already discovered the words on the table, and said lightly, "It turned out to be a dyingmessage, it is obvious that this is not a suicide, but a homicide disguised as a suicide, and the murderer is careless." ”

"And that's not all!" Zheng Hanfei looked in a certain direction and added, "On the wall on the left side of the desk, there is a bullet mark, it seems that the murderer wanted to kill the earl with one shot, but the first shot missed and hit the wall, and the second shot killed the earl, and disguised himself as a suicide, and hurriedly fled the scene, but forgot to deal with the bullet marks on the wall, which is really fatal." Sergeant Tim, can you tell me more about the murder weapon? ”

"Okay!" Sergeant Tim flipped through his notebook and began, "The murder weapon is a Colt 380 pistol, which does not have the fingerprints of the murderer, but the fingerprints of the Count. ”

"Is it handled properly?" Ouyang Xiu said with a smile, "It's a pity that he only paid attention to some details that should be paid attention to, but he forgot those clues that he ignored, which led to the unjust killing of this person who disguised himself as a suicide, by the way, have you found anything about the identity of the murderer?" ”

"Nope." Sergeant Tim gave the two of them a disappointed answer, "Earl McGee is very popular, basically there are no enemies, and the few suspects who were originally locked up all have alibis, so we don't know anything about the identity of the murderer." ”

"I think we still have to look for clues about the murderer from the direction of death information." After speaking, Zheng Hanfei glanced at the daily written in blood on the desk, and was suddenly stunned.

The word...... For some reason, Zheng Hanfei felt that the word was a little awkward, but he couldn't tell what was awkward in a short time, so he had to stare at the word, hoping to find out what was weird.

"What do you think again?" Ouyang Xiu naturally noticed Zheng Hanfei's strange appearance, thinking that he had found some clues, and immediately came up, but found that Zheng Hanfei had been staring at the death message on the table, and was a little disappointed, in his opinion, Zheng Hanfei was very likely to be analyzing the connection between the death message and the murderer like him.

"Hugh, Sergeant Tim, do you think this word is very awkward?" He never found out the answer, Zheng Hanfei was a little lost, so he had to tell others what he had found, hoping that Ouyang Hugh and Sheriff Tim could find that indescribable weirdness.

The two blinked, their eyes getting closer and closer to the words, hoping to find out the so-called awkwardness, and after a long time, they stopped observing, looked up at Zheng Hanfei, and shook their heads one after another, and the result they got was the same as Zheng Hanfei, that is, they did not find any clues.

"What you said awkwardly, do you think you're a little vague?" Looking at the frustration on Zheng Hanfei's face, Ouyang Xiu said a clue that he was very unsure about, hoping that he could be right and give Zheng Hanfei some inspiration.

"The handwriting is blurred, I know this!" Sergeant Tim flipped through the notebook again, pointed to the handwriting, and said, "Earl McGee is left-handed, and he caused this when his palm and sleeve touched while he was writing, as evidenced by the blood on Earl McGee's left hand and sleeve." ”

"Not this." Zheng Hanfei shook his head and denied this clue, "Of course I can see that the handwriting is blurred, the count is left-handed, I also know, just now Sheriff Tim said that the count covered up the handwriting with his right hand, that is to say, if he committed suicide, then it proves that the count shot with his left hand, but Sergeant Tim didn't say that the count was killed by him because of this, so the answer is clear at a glance, the count is left-handed!" ”

"Hello, boy! I'm getting more and more confident in you! Sheriff Tim was really surprised, who would have thought that a teenager would have such a strong sense of observation and memory, if he trusted the two because of Clifford's recommendation before, then he really trusts the two now, he believes that with the help of these two teenagers, the truth of the case will soon be revealed.

Zheng Hanfei just wanted to say a few words modestly, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he looked at the death message on the table again, his eyes gradually became a little solemn, and Ouyang Xiu and Sheriff Tim were stunned, they didn't understand what happened to Zheng Hanfei? However, they did not ask out loud, but stood there and waited, but the curiosity in their eyes still revealed their true thoughts.

I don't know how long it took for Zheng Hanfei to come back to his senses, looked at the two of them, and said an idea that even he thought was ridiculous: "You say, is this death message fake?" ”

"Impossible!" Sergeant Tim immediately spoke out to deny Zheng Hanfei's conjecture, "We have found someone to verify it, it is the earl's handwriting, there is no mistake." ”

"But the handwriting is already blurry, and it's written in blood, so you won't be able to see anything if you change it a little." Zheng Hanfei naturally didn't feel that his conjecture was wrong because of Sheriff Tim's words, he must have confidence in saying this, so he said patiently, "I said before that this word is a little awkward, it's here, you look at this letter L, because the handwriting is blurred, so you will think it is L at a glance, but if you look closely, there are more traces next to this letter." ”

"This is ......" Ouyang Xiu looked at it carefully and found that it was exactly the same as what Zheng Hanfei said, "Sure enough, this is not L, there are traces next to the letters, but they have been erased, damn it, I can't tell what kind of letters this is, I can only say that they are somewhat similar." ”

"A letter similar to l can be combined with d, a, i, and y to form a word, in that case there is only ......"

"Letter R." Before Sergeant Tim could finish speaking, Zheng Hanfei replied first, "D, A, I, R, Y, Dairy!" So, what the deceased wanted to express was not a daily newspaper, but dairy products. It seems that the clues that Sheriff Tim searched for based on the fake death information of Daily before are of no use, and we are going to search for the death information of Daily again. ”

"I see!" Sheriff Tim sighed, picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words, his face was really a little unbearable, isn't it a shame, so many young and capable police and detectives have searched a lot, and the two teenagers have searched carefully, which is good, all the clues that have worked hard for several days have come to naught, and you have to start from scratch.

However, what makes Sheriff Tim feel fortunate is that if the investigation continues in the wrong direction, maybe they will not be able to solve the case twenty years later, thanks to Ouyang Xiu and Zheng Hanfei, without them, Sheriff Tim doesn't even dare to imagine what the outcome of this case will be.
