Chapter 65: Investigation

"But if this man is not Mr. Jack, who would it be?" Sheriff Klein asked, with a headache.

Monet replied as he thought about it, "Well, let me think about it, Cliff, yes, Cliff--Conland, go to the little theater of Hell's Kitchen and look it up, someone must know!" ”

"Do you know this Cliff?" Sheriff Klein asked curiously.

Monet shook his head and replied, "I don't know, but I saw him in the little theater of Hell's Kitchen a few months ago, and I thought he was Jack, but I didn't know when I went up and asked!" ”

"Oh, I said, why do you always suspect that he's not Mr. Jack!" Sheriff Klein replied abruptly, but then changed his expression and teased, "And I didn't expect you to like to go to Hell's Kitchen opera!" ”

"I'm following this Cliff......"

But before he could finish speaking, Sheriff Klein interrupted: "No need to explain, it's all men, I can understand!" ”

This made Monet even more depressed, because it seemed that the matter had been completely explained......

Later, Sheriff Klein took Randall and other officers to Hell's Kitchen to investigate Cliff, while Monet was responsible for driving Ruth back to the hotel, and advised her on the way: "Okay, Ruth, don't be sad, this deceased should be Mr. Conlandor instead of Jack!" ”

"But doesn't that mean that Jack was indeed dead at the time!" Ruth asked rhetorically.

"Well, that's right! But I thought you'd come to terms with that! ”

Ruth sighed and said, "I used to think that I accepted this fact, but when Jack suddenly appeared in front of me today, I realized that it was just buried in my heart, and it only took a small flame to rekindle him, even if it was just a false flame!" ”

Then he changed his words and said: "But don't worry, I will adjust my mentality, by the way, if there is any latest development, you must tell me in time, I always feel that this matter will not be simple, since he is not Jack, then why does he dress exactly like Jack, why did he deliberately appear at the shipwreck memorial scene or even deliberately appear in front of us!" ”

Monet nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on this matter, in fact, I also have these questions!" ”

So early the next morning, Monet rushed to the police station, and Sheriff Klein said to him with a depressed face: "Tony, you are not mistaken, this deceased is indeed Cliff-Conlando, who has been in Hell's Kitchen all year round, but it is said that he has been mysterious these months, and no one knows what he is doing!" ”

At this moment, Randall ran over and reported, "Sheriff, I found out that this Cliff is often with an actress named Paris from the Hell's Kitchen Opera, shall we go and ask her?" ”

"Okay, you go get ready for the car, let's go!" Sheriff Klein commanded, and then seemed to remember something, turned to Monet and said, "Tony, how is it, do you want to go together?" ”

Although Monet knew that Sheriff Klein was ridiculing him, he still couldn't resist his curiosity, so he agreed to it.

Backstage at Hell's Kitchen Opera, Paris seemed to have just stepped off stage, and before she had time to put on makeup, she was only wearing a simple dress and holding a cigarette to accept Randall's questioning, and then replied impatiently: "Oh, you said that Cliff guy, he was recently hired by a guy named Moriarty to be an actor, and it seems that he was ......"

Before Paris could finish speaking, Monet interrupted, "What did you say?" The person who hired him was Professor Moriarty? Are you sure you heard it right? ”

"Professor Moriarty who commissioned Robert to come to your house to steal the manuscript?" Sheriff Klein reacted as well.

Paris gave Monet a blank look: "How can this be misheard, that guy Cliff has told me several times, but it is definitely not his real name, he is probably an admirer of Professor Moriarty!" ”

"Did Cliff say what this Professor Moriarty looks like?" Monet asked.

Paris shook her head and replied, "No, because Cliff was with him all wearing a mask, and he wasn't allowed to ask questions about him, otherwise he wouldn't have given him money!" ”

"And how much money did this Professor Moriarty give Cliff, and what exactly did he ask him to do?" Sheriff Klein asked.

"He said that he would be given $10,000 after the play, who knows if it's true or not, but as long as he rehearses according to his request, he will give him $10 every time......" Speaking of this, Paris seemed to realize that something was wrong, and asked Sheriff Klein, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask me Cliff, did he do something wrong?" ”

"To be precise, someone did something illegal to him, because he was killed last night!" Randall replied in a deep voice.

Hearing this answer, Paris couldn't help but exclaim, "What?! Heβ€”he's been killed? Well, that must have been Professor Moriarty's doing, go get him! ”

"First of all, we don't know who this Professor Moriarty is, where he is now, and how to catch him? And how can you be sure that Cliff must have been killed by this Moriarty professor? Randall explained.

Paris replied lightly: "Don't you need to ask, it must be that after Cliff helped him do something, he didn't want to pay the $10,000, and then killed him!" By the way, you go to Rem, it's Rem the madman Cole's subordinate, I remember that the first time Cliff went to see that Professor Moriarty, Rem forced him to go! ”

Hearing the name of "Crazy Cole", Sheriff Klein also frowned a little, because even he, the sheriff, was unwilling to deal with this kind of person, but since the clue had already arrived here, he had no choice but to investigate.

But the result was beyond his and Monet's expectations, because this so-called "Rem" was actually fake, Cole didn't have such a subordinate named Rem at all, at first Sheriff Klein thought that Paris was mistaken, but after repeated questioning, it was determined that she was not lying, so Monet drew the portrait of this "Rem" and continued to send people to look for it, but unfortunately found nothing!

So the whole case came to an impasse, and the only thing Monet could be sure of was that this Professor Moriarty obviously had a grudge against himself and Ruth, otherwise he would never have done this again and again!

PS: I've heard of the name of "I Was a Sewing Corpse in the Autumn Execution Ground" before, and today I accidentally flipped it out and looked at it, and I was surprised to find that this is a novel, and it's a book review at all......
