Chapter 36: The White Cat
An accident turned out to be a murderer?
Jasmine looked up at Eric, motionless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Maybe the words of the little detective are too shocking.
Notice Eric's wording, as he says to find Lyle's killer. Since the word killing exists, there must be someone involved.
Hearing this, Connie's eyes widened, and she said in a very puzzled tone: "You mean, he was killed......? Even the town's police officers said it was a tragic accident. ”
Eric, of course, objected to the questioning: "Come on, I'm a detective. Compared to a rookie police officer in a remote town, my words must be more worthy of your trust. ”
Connie looked strange, obviously suspicious. She said disapprerovingly: "I don't know what else can be done about such an obvious thing as a lion biting a man." But since you say so, wait, I can interpret your words as ...... Did the lion bite the man after receiving instructions? So, are you suspicious of Turuk, who is an animal trainer? It is better not to be like that. I know my team members, and she's not a bad person. It should be said that we will not stay in the circus with such people. I don't know where your accusations come from. ”
Connie spoke in a bad manner. Perhaps it was because Eric's words were directed at the animal trainer, which made her feel very unhappy as the deputy leader.
"I didn't say that. Eric waved his hand and hurriedly denied: "Although Truuk is one of the major suspects in this case, it is difficult for anyone to make any conclusions at this time. The reason why I say that there is a murderer in this case is because I just found some powder from the deceased's head. It is the powder of geranium, and although it has no effect on people, animals are very sensitive to it. You're a pharmacist, so you know about this plant. If Baron Lyle sticks his head stained with this powder into the lion's mouth, then death awaits him. ”
"Geranium...... Connie said thoughtfully, "Indeed, if it is it, it can have this effect. But this is no ordinary herb, it grows in a faraway foreign land, and it is not easy to get hold of it. Who would want to kill someone with it?"
Seeing that the deputy head of the regiment still didn't believe his words. Eric pointed directly behind Connie and said, "If you don't believe me, you can go and look at Baron Lyle's hair." The conclusion should be the same as mine. ”
Connie looked at Eric, turned around and walked over to the corpse.
Hearing Eric's calm analysis, Jasmine, who was still in her soul just now, suddenly came to her senses: "Eric, you mean, in fact, Lyle's death is not the lion's fault?"
"Yes, that's it. Just now, Eric was imagining Jasmine slaughtering innocent chicken with her own hands. His words were certainly a rescue for the lion.
Jasmine asked, with urgency in her eyes. "Then do you know who the murderer is?"
"I don't know yet, but I think I'll find out soon. Eric smiled at Jasmine, "You just have to wait until I solve the case." I'll find the killer before I go. Perhaps, right tonight. ”
Jasmine looked at Eric for a long time, and finally nodded.
Don't worry, I'll find the killer!!

Eric wasn't going to sleep tonight.
Don't forget that Eric only stays at the Red Oriole Circus for three days, which is a pact between him and Connie. In this way, he only has one day left for tomorrow. Although he could have stayed and worked as a circus roller skater after coming into contact with Iyeta, his identity could be revealed at any time and his life would be unstable. So, whether it's going out to find a lost token or looking for clues to Lyle's killer, sneaking out of the tent tonight to investigate is his best choice. And the only option.
So Eric excused himself to be sleepy and went back to the tent to rest. Connie's question about Eric's killer is also prevaricated by him. In fact, inside the tent in the center, Eric's Alpha Eye had already seen something terrible. But whether that thing is relevant to the case is up for debate. In fact, now Eric has to put this problem behind him, and dealing with the immediate problems is the first priority.
Yes, Eric is in a bit of trouble. To be precise, Eric didn't know if it was a nuisance or not. Perhaps, it's just a kind of fate.
In the early hours of the morning, in the moonlight, on the empty road, Eric stood on the road. He's looking at an animal.
A white cat.
Eric didn't know why there was such a situation where one man and one beast faced each other. Shortly after he slipped out of the tent, he had an unexpected encounter with the cat. He looked at the cat, and although it was a white cat, the white was not simply white, but a white that would fluoresce slightly in the moonlight. Can be a white cat, white ...... Eric naturally associates it with the white fur in Jasmine's jewelry box.
The operation of the Alpha Magic Eye confirms Eric's thoughts. The color on this white cat is exactly the same as the color in the jasmine jewelry box. But Eric didn't notice the joy of it, and the clue to the loss of the jewelry came too late. After the unexpected death of Lyle, who gave her jewelry, even if she finds it again, it will only add to Jasmine's sadness.
Forget it, it's better not to get the jewelry back. Eric looked at the cat and made a decision in his heart. Wait! It seemed to have something in its mouth! Eric's pupils dilated, and the thing seemed to be drawn closer to Eric's eyes.
Can't be wrong! That luster, that silhouette! It's the Pelos family crest!
The sudden appearance of an object that had been a long-cherished item causes Eric's eyes to quickly become bloodshot. Calm down! The more times like this, the more calm you must be! If you let it run, you may never be able to find the token. Eric took a deep breath and decided to take the approach of slowly moving towards his target while observing.
The cat didn't move, as if waiting for Eric to catch it.
That's it, good thing, don't move, wait for me to pass. Eric felt that he was getting closer and closer to success. At this time, the slightest wind and grass will make him more stressed.
The cat's feet moved. Eric was nervous.
The cat turned around and ran away!
But the cute cat spat out her family crest on the ground!
Cute cat!Eric couldn't comprehend what was happening in front of him, but he ran up to pick up the discarded family crest.
When he raised his head, the elegant white cat in his memory was long gone.
Did he come to pay me back?" came to Eric's head with a ridiculous idea.
