Monday, December 23rd.

Kaneda Shin, who hadn't slept all day, was late together, and when he woke up, it was already noon.

He had now determined that the 'Heart-Digger' was Hemingway Hale, but he needed some evidence, so he was going to search for Paber with him.

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang urgently.

With a yawn and two bites of bread, Shinichi Kaneda frowned and walked towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, Paber shouted hurriedly:

"Mr. Shinichi! Sheriff Will is missing!"

"Huh?"

Puzzled, Kaneda Shinichi turned around and picked up the wind and snow coat, as well as two pieces of bread, and ran out of the door:

"What's going on?"

"It's not clear, we only found Sheriff Will's police car that had flipped over in the snow with some blood on it, but the person was completely gone. ”

"Judging by the clotting time of the blood, he probably had an accident around 3:15 last night. ”

Paber replied a few words in succession, and then added:

"Moreover, we found some spikes not far away, which seemed to have been deliberately set by someone. ”

"Where did he go before?" asked Shinichi Kaneda, taking two bites of bread.

Paber didn't answer, just touched his head in embarrassment, and when he saw Kaneda Shinichi's oppressive gaze, he hurriedly replied:

"Red light district. ”

"It's funny, a sheriff doesn't sleep at night and runs to the red light district to fool around..."

Muttering a few words, Kaneda Shinichi quickly ate the bread.

After the two got into a horse-drawn taxi, they rushed to the police station after half an hour.

At that moment, a petite policewoman stepped forward and handed Paber a report.

After two glances, Paber immediately turned his head to look at Shinichi Kaneda:

"There was also a girl who died in the red light district last night, who was beaten to death, and according to the identification, it was the hands of dozens of people at the same time. ”

"Mr. Shinichi, do you think this case will have anything to do with Sheriff Will's disappearance?"

Kaneda Shinichi didn't answer, because he was recalling the pictures and details of getting along with Fat Will, and after a while, he said:

"Let's sort out similar cases in the red-light district, and find out where Fat Will was when they happened. ”

"Got it. ”

Paber didn't ask much, he trusted Kaneda Shinichi's judgment, and quickly mobilized most of the police officers, and he himself walked to the archives with the petite policewoman.

Kaneda Shinichi glanced at him, shook his head, and walked into Paber's office.

Then, Shinichi Kaneda opened the 'Heart Digger' case and took out a stack of lottery tickets from the middle, along with a resume of 'Yorkham Jones'.

"Mr. Pastor, I seem to have caught your secret, but it's too scary... So... I'll have to find time to ask you personally..."

...

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Yorkham Jones walked around and returned home, but at the same time there were several more people, including: Lux, Red Lotus, Alice, Vlad...

"It's a pity that Daile and Mr. Shinichi are busy, or they can have a reunion..."

After a few mutters, Yorkham Jones got busy.

...

In the police department, Paber and Kaneda Shinichi have finished sorting out the case in the red light district.

"Every time a girl is beaten to death, Fat Will seems to be there..."

Muttering, Kaneda Shinichi began to recall Fat Will's fleshy face.

Although Kaneda Shinichi doesn't like this fat sheriff very much, Fat Will usually takes good care of him, so at present, Kaneda Shinichi still doesn't want to believe his guesses.

At this time, Paber on the side reminded:

"Mr. Shinichi, if this information is not artificially fabricated, then Sheriff Will is very much in line with the choice of the 'Heart Digger', and it is very likely that it has even fallen into the hands of the 'Heart Digger'. ”

"So, you ran out yesterday for a day, did you catch anything?"

Kaneda Shinichi didn't answer, but asked softly:

"Mr. Paber, do you think Fat Will is a bad guy?"

When Paber heard this, he immediately grabbed Kaneda Shinichi by the collar and stared into his eyes:

"Mr. Shinichi, please remember that the first lesson in the detective department is called: Facts and Truth. ”

"I see. ”

Kaneda Shinichi took a deep breath and said:

"The 'Heart-Digger' is Hemingway Hale, the famous butcher who lives downstairs from Mr. Reverend. ”

"I see. ”

Without asking what Kaneda had deduced, Paber walked out the door and dispatched police to Jokham Jones' small building.

"It seems like everything is starting to come together..."

With a sigh, Shinichi Kaneda followed.

...

At home, Yorkham Jones, who was eating a 'steamer', suddenly heard an alarm bell, so they all got up and turned their heads to look down.

Soon, numerous police officers surrounded the entire building with guns.

"My friend of light, you won't commit any crimes, will you?" asked Honglian as she immediately put down the small bowl and muttered.

Lux on the side also answered:

"Hee-hee, if you make a mistake, you can tell me that I can use this as a confessional room, and I'd love to hear the secret. ”

Yorkham Jones glared at both of them at once, and said:

"I am a holy priest representing light and justice!"

Soon after, a number of police officers blasted the windows of 102 from outside the building and threw several tear gas canisters.

Then, several SWAT officers wearing gas masks walked in.

After a few moments, a policeman ran out and walked over to Pabel's ear and muttered a few words.

At this time, Yorkham Jones's voice suddenly came:

"Mr. Shinichi, Mr. Paber, would you like to have dinner together?"

"Next time, Mr. Pastor, I'm a little busy. Paber replied, and walked into room 102 with Kaneda Shinichi.

After observing a few laps, Kaneda Shinichi said:

"He's not coming back. ”

At this time, another police officer ran to Pabel's ear and said something.

Then Paber said:

"There's no one at the butcher's shop either, and he ran away?"

"It's not an escape, he thinks it's some kind of ritual, and Fat Will is the last one, so he must still be in love with Jonsson, and he can start with the source of the ingredients in his butcher's shop. ”

"I'll go upstairs, you don't have to wait for me. ”

After a few words of reply, Kaneda Shinichi walked out of the door quickly.

Paber suddenly ran out and said:

"Mr. Shinichi, if it is true as you guessed, the mastermind who caused the 'Heart Digger' is Mr. Priest, isn't it dangerous for you to go up like this? I'll go with you!"

"He's not what you think, don't worry, he won't hurt me. ”

Kaneda Shinichi smiled slightly, refused Paber's accompaniment, and walked upstairs alone.

At the same time, as if he knew that Kaneda Shinichi was coming, Jokham Jones opened the door early and walked out.

"'Steamer', do you want to eat?" looked at the appearance of Kaneda Shinichi bending over and walking around, Yorkham Jones immediately asked with a smile.

"It's the best food for a snowy day, and I don't like it. Kaneda Shinichi replied with a smile and walked straight in.

With the addition of Kaneda Shinichi, the hot 'steamer' became even hotter, Kaneda Shinichi did not discuss the case, basically just chatted about some things that are usually happy, it seems that he is really just here to eat.
