Chapter: 657
"Okay." Mike Joseph didn't refuse, took the dinner plate, walked around, and took a lot of food.
"He came here in a hurry and hasn't had lunch yet." Talim explained for his friend with a smile, and put a stack of newspapers on the dining table.
"It can be seen." Klein put the knife and fork away, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and drank black tea leisurely.
He was very satisfied with the meal just now.
At this time, Mike Joseph came back with two plates of food, quickly ate a few mouthfuls, padded his stomach, and then looked up at Klein: "Detective Moriarty, have you heard about the recent serial murder case?" ?�
"The one that took the internal organs?" Klein's heart moved, and he asked briefly.
Talim next to him nodded and said with emotion: "Sure enough, every detective is paying attention to this serial murder case."
Mike pulled out one of the newspapers and pushed it to Klein: "This is the latest report."
Klein took a look and found that it was the "Daily Observer" that Mike worked for. They wrote on the front page headlines: "11! Another lady was killed! Sieveras Field is helpless!"
��The headquarters of the Backlund Police Department is on Sivelas Street at the edge of Queens, so they are also nicknamed "Sivelas Field".
11? The 11th case? Resisting the urge to frown, Klein read down suspiciously, and found that it was the same as the one he encountered. The targets were women, all wearing gorgeous long skirts, and their internal organs were removed by caesarean section.
This is a case with obvious traces of worshiping demons. The Sieveras Field must have been handed over to the Nighthawks, Punishers, or the Mechanic Heart team. Strange and effective Extraordinary means, how come the case has not been solved and the criminals have not been caught? That guy has a wealth of "anti-detection" abilities, destroying the souls of the dead? In other words, the soul of the deceased was taken away together with the internal organs, which belonged to the needs of the devil's ritual? Well, he can definitely interfere with divination... Also, if a Beyonder of the "devil" path doesn't have similar abilities, how would he dare to kill people in a row... Klein thoughtfully said to Mike Joseph: "You want to do a private investigation ?�
"Sorry, I can't take over. I can't take over without an invitation from the police. I have to maintain a good relationship with them."
The so-called good relationship is the relationship of inviting me to the police station for tea... Klein complained to himself.
The real reason for his refusal was that being involved in the investigation of this serial murder case would easily encounter official Beyonders, among whom there might be the Nighthawks from the Backlund Diocese of the Church of the Goddess.
"No, it's not an investigation. No, the accurate description is that it's not an investigation to find the murderer. I just want to complete my report." Mike Joseph swallowed the shrimp and explained.
"Report?" Klein put down the white porcelain teacup, clasped his hands, and asked leisurely.
Mike Joseph said: "If you buy the "Daily Observer" tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will see my in-depth report on this serial murder case. The most important part of it is to reveal the commonality of the victims and remind them of similarities. Attention the crowd."
"Well, what do they have in common?" Klein asked curiously.
Mike took a sip of coffee and said, "Besides women and wearing brightly colored long skirts, there is another very important thing in common. I did an in-depth investigation on the victim's occupation and found an interesting thing."
"Some of them are maids, some are textile workers, some are tailors, and some are female teachers. On the surface, there is no overlap, but in fact, they have all been street girls."
"Street girl? Female teacher?" Klein asked back in a little astonishment.
In the Loen Kingdom, teachers belonged to the middle class, and the minimum salary was 2 pounds a week, which was enough for a lady to live fairly well, and she didn't need to be a street girl at all.
Mike moved the corner of his mouth and sighed: "It used to be. Before they found a job that could support themselves, they might have had a very difficult time."
"I did a survey before. In Backlund, among the 15 to 55-year-old women, one-sixth of them are or have been street girls. Heh, this is our country. All foreigners come When you come here, you will feel surprised that there are street girls everywhere in a very conservative country and a bustling metropolis.� (Note 1)
This, this data is a bit exaggerated... If it is true, it can only be said that the reality is more exaggerated... This damn world... Klein was speechless for a while, thought for a while, and said deliberately: "One question is, how did the murderer know that he was killed?" Those who used to be street girls? There are no labels on them, and you need to investigate deeply to find out."
"As expected of a great detective, this may be the clue." Mike Joseph replied not surprised.
No, if it is a Beyonder of the "demon" path, then his selection criteria may be the type that seems to have fallen but not completely fallen, and they should have a keen intuition about the fall, maybe they can directly see the corresponding depth Coupled with the trigger point of the colorful long skirt, the target is basically locked... Klein answered himself in his heart, and then asked: "So, what else do you want to investigate?"
Mike nodded and said: "In these 11 cases, 10 women used to be street girls, but one was not. She is still a prostitute now. Well, it is the youngest, only 16-year-old Xibel, which seems very strange. Strange, very strange, I want to go to 'Golden Rose', that is, the place where she, uh, she works, do an in-depth investigation, and see if I can find something."
"I'm worried that the questioning will annoy the people there, so I plan to ask you to protect me for a short time. You don't need to teach them a lesson, just protect me from escaping at the most critical moment." JrNovels.com
