Chapter 82: Ideas
The divination was over, and it was confirmed that there would be no problems with the operation.
Lewis put on his coat, hat, and cane, and followed Issinger into a cab, where he sat on the left and right.
I wasted no more time in detailing the serial killings, which were more detailed than the newspapers had described, and the latest case was that of Joan. The death of Ms. Yarlin.
Time flew by in discussions and exchanges, and the carriage arrived at a slightly older building in the Hilton District.
The house was not very well lit, and even though there was no fog in Beckland today, it was rather gloomy.
Esinger. Stanton led Lewis through the living room, with its display of old paintings, into the living room with an unlit fireplace.
Here, Lewis saw fifteen or sixteen detectives, sitting on couches and benches, with what seemed to be a clear demarcation.
"This is the Detective of Oort Street, Lewis. Harvey, who was exposed to the most recent serial murder case, is Joan. The case of Yarlin. Esinger introduced to everyone present.
Immediately afterward, he picked up a few more well-known detectives and introduced them to Lewis.
Lewis, on the other hand, focused on Detective Stuart, a detective who gave him a sense of déjà vu somewhere.
Stuart frowned and turned to Isengard. Stanton questioned, "Mr. Issinger, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Lewis is just a rookie detective, and our case today is too important!" ”
Although the other party said it very tactfully, Lewis still saw doubts about his ability in the eyes of the detectives present.
This is quite normal, the other party is right, he is indeed just a novice detective. A novice detective wants a piece of the pie in a case with a bounty of 2,000 pounds, and he is indeed suspected of rubbing the bounty.
"Mr. Stuart, this is very rude!" Isenger sank his face and emphasized:
"Mr. Lewis is a newcomer, but he solved the kidnapping case on the East End in just one day and saved many people.
I think that's a skill that a lot of the detectives out there don't have, including me. ”
Stuart glanced at Lewis in surprise, and Lewis maintained a cold expression and smiled faintly.
"I'm sorry." With the endorsement of Detective Isinger, Stuart sincerely apologizes.
As a detective, he naturally heard a little about the kidnapping case in the East District, which had a great impact because the methods were too cruel.
Although the official described the person who reported the case as a homeless man, everyone knows that behind this homeless man, there must be a clear-headed elite.
Lewis nodded, he didn't want to have a dispute over such a trivial matter, so he put on a confident face and said:
"It's okay, I can't wait to see the two thousand pounds bounty."
After the assistant poured a cup of coffee or black tea for each of them, and sent the information, Issinger sat in an easy chair, took out his pipe, and said:
"I don't think any of you will be new to the recent serial killings, do you have any thoughts? Say it and let's discuss it. ”
Stuart, who had a small beard, raised his hand and said first: "I just looked through the information and found that the deceased were all women, except for that Joan. Yarlin, the rest of the women were street girls or had been.
Moreover, the police acted so stupidly that in so many cases, didn't they know to investigate those who had been in contact with the street girl?
I think that the murderer must have been in contact with the street girls to know their past, and they can't see it with their eyes, right? ”
Lewis quietly hooked the corners of his mouth, he really wanted to interject: It's you who is stupid, for demons, it really only takes a glance to see that a woman has a depraved past.
Of course, Detective Stuart is unaware of the existence of the Transcendent, which creates an irreparable blind spot in his thinking.
Most of them agreed with Stuart's claim, with only Lewis, Esinger and a female detective remaining silent, seemingly thinking about something.
"There is some truth in what you say, you can find a few detectives to investigate in this direction." Mr. Isenger nodded, and gave a more secure answer.
Next, the detectives begin to express their opinions, sometimes discussing, sometimes arguing loudly, and even pacing back and forth in the room to gather their thoughts.
"Mr. Lewis, what do you think of this case?" Turning his gaze, Issinger asked Lewis.
Lewis was almost certain that the demon dog was responsible for the serial killings, and if he guessed correctly, the demon dog was preparing for promotion.
Earlier, he was ready to speak, but he couldn't find the right words. He cannot expose the fact that he knows the transcendent world, let alone the truth that he is transcendent.
"I thought, maybe we should find Beckland, the serial murder case that hasn't been solved in the last twenty years, and I suspect it's not the first time the killer has committed a crime." Lewis stated.
If the Demon Dog can be promoted to Sequence 6, it must have gone through the "Serial Killer" stage of Sequence 7, in other words, the Demon Dog must know how to play or know part of the play, otherwise it will be difficult to digest the potion promotion.
Issinger put his nose over to his pipe, sniffed the tobacco, and asked, "You mean, the murderer has behaved in a similar way before?" Even if the modus operandi is not the same as it is now? ”
Lewis nodded, deliberately mentioned it, and said:
"I even think that the killer has a tendency to abuse animals, and just last night, I met a stray dog with its internal organs stripped of it.
I mean, the murderer's modus operandi appears to be very skillful, and the possibility of experimenting with animals cannot be ruled out. ”
Detective Stuart, pacing back and forth in the room, slowly stretched his brow, and Lewis's point of view gave him a new direction, which instantly broadened his thinking.
Thinking and investigating direction have always been necessary for a detective to solve a case, and it is obvious that Lewis, a rookie detective, has a better professionalism than him.
This made him realize that Lewis was really not an ordinary detective, and it was no wonder that Mr. Issinger had invited him to the other party.
Issinger frowned, and after a while, his brow gradually relaxed, and said:
"This is indeed an important direction, and I will go to the National Police Agency to ask for information on serial murders in the last 20 years."
"Mr. Esinger, I need this information as well." Suddenly, a female detective raised her hand and said to Issinger.
As the female detective raised her hand, several more detectives raised their hands to ask for the information.
After noon, the detective exchange meeting was dissolved, and when the detectives on the scene were almost gone, Lewis began to leave.
"Mr. Lewis." Eisinger shouted to Lewis and praised in a deep tone: "Your train of thought makes me feel that the case has suddenly opened up, and I believe that in another ten years, you will definitely become a household name in Beckland." ”
