Chapter 139 Despicable Me

"I'm very glad that the police and gentlemen still paid attention to protecting the scene when they flocked in, otherwise we can only expect the murderer to pop out by themselves now."

Holding a small bag of tracking powder standing at the broken wall, Donald looked at the cordon next to him, and the yard was covered with footprints.

Pence said before that the murderer was extremely fast. He only stepped on three steps from the courtyard wall to the breaking of the villa wall. Donald twisted the tracking powder in his hand and first confirmed the position of the three footprints. Following the heel of the lead, he directly found the location of the murderer entering the villa and marked it.

Robbing around, the people of the Rose Squad followed Donald with their umbrellas, watching him sprinkle powder outwards, and then staring at the ground that had nothing to change in their eyes and moving towards the other side of the street.

"Huh~ Fortunately, this is a wealthy area, and there are not many passers-by. If it were other places in Tallinn, just these few hours would be enough for other people's footprints to completely cover up the murderer's footprints."

Donald's eyes were filled with red light, and he breathed a sigh of relief as the route was pushed back.

What he was afraid of was that the road the murderer walked before the murder was stepped on by more than a dozen people within the next few hours. It is true that the powder can be divided into footprints according to the brightness, but it is impossible to distinguish the size and type of the shoe.

"Have you got a clue?"

Susanna spoke, but her eyes secretly glanced at Stephanie, the crampedness in her eyes was obvious.

The latter did not dodge, stood beside Donald holding an umbrella, and responded with a proud expression.

"The murderer has stayed here at this location."

In the state of spiritual vision, there were relatively chaotic footprints on the ground next to the street light in front of him, most of which were unknown in the direction, but in terms of brightness, they were all left by the murderer, which was enough to prove that he had been waiting here for a while before.

"The attack occurred at breakfast time. This location was nearly 30 meters away from the Irving family villa and was blocked by the courtyard wall. How did he know that the Irving and his wife were eating at that time? The footprints along the way were consistent, and there was no sign of repetition or stacking. In other words, the murderer walked from this location to the Irving family villa. There was no hesitation during this period... He knew that the Irving and his wife would eat at a fixed time, so there was no need for hesitation or waiting. When he arrived at the right position, he started to do it directly."

Speaking of his guess, Donald's eyes always glanced at about one meter away on the right side of the street lamp, where he had sprinkled trace powder.

But he was standing in front, and the people behind him couldn't see his eyes.

"According to the news from Susanna and Stephanie, no one has asked about the servants or guards in the Irving family and the dining situation of the Irving couple. Given Stephanie's ability, I believe they are telling the truth. How did the murderer know this information?"

"Observation, he may have observed the routines of the Irving couple for a long time in somewhere."

Stephenie echoed next to him.

"I understand. I immediately asked the police station people to go to the street opposite the villa to inquire. His Excellency Connery Irving had already given the general size of the murderer, and maybe some useful information can be found."

Pence has always been an impatient person. After understanding the key points, he immediately prepared to return to ask the police station to assist in the investigation.

"Wait, come with me."

He called out Pence who had turned away, and Donald turned around the corner, stood in front of a wall, put his hands in his pocket and looked left and right.

The snowflakes were still falling from the sky. Stefini hurriedly ran up to him and continued to hold an umbrella. Because the run was so fast, the two of them were getting closer.

There are basically no ordinary shops in the wealthy area, and it is impossible for people living here to buy daily necessities. Even if there are, it is the housekeeper who will go to Wangque District to purchase them.

It's lunch time again, and the servants are preparing in the villa.

Therefore, there are only a few of them on this street, and there are also several cars parked on the side of the road and have a thick layer of snow on the roof. They should have been parked there since last night. I think there will be no one inside.

"When you were contacting the Special Measures Bureau just now, I went to Ms. Shirley Irving's room for the time being... and confirmed something. It was inconvenient to say it in the villa before, so I took you out to find traces, but it didn't seem too abrupt."

With Donald's narration, the white air exhaled from the mouths of the people around him became significantly stronger.

"Lilo discovered that Ms. Shirley Irving's soul was pulled away. You all know her identity and should trust her judgment...What do you think about this?"

Sharing the information you currently know to your teammates is not involved with you, so you don’t need to hide it from them.

"The soul was pulled away...what does it mean, while we were investigating the case, someone sneaked into the morgue?"

Perhaps the message Donald said was too strange, and Susanna's voice was lowered a few degrees when she spoke.

"I can't have it. I've checked that room. There were no secret doors or signs of window invasion. From beginning to end, there were only a few servants of the Irving family. They entered together and came out together. It can be said that they were watching each other. There was no chance. After that, the police and the guards of the Irving family were taken care of. No one had ever been in except for me and Horn."

Donald had conducted an investigation before, so now he directly denied Susanna's conjecture.

"During the entire assassination process, the murderer kept moving and fighting against the guards of the Irving family. I think the assassin would not be able to free up his hands to remove Mrs. Irving's soul while maintaining a high-intensity battle, right?"

As a melee alien, Pence naturally understood that instant loss of mind in close combat is an extremely fatal mistake, not to mention distracting the soul of the dead.

"Is it possible that someone was doing it in the police team that followed. At that time, a large number of police officers suddenly rushed in in the entire Irving family villa in a short time. The guards inevitably became negligent. There is a possibility that someone would take advantage of the situation. Why don't you ask the police?"

Stephanie said with her umbrella holding one hand and her other hand in her pocket in front of her coat. She frowned.

This statement was recognized by several others.

This is the advantage of discussion. It is easier to find some details than thinking alone.

"But we cannot inquire about the police officers who entered the Irving family villa one by one. Not to mention that there are a considerable number of police officers among them, the matter of our interrogation bureau interrogating police officers will have a great impact. It would be fine if there were one or two people, but there were fifty or sixty people, and it would be considered to be deliberately looking for trouble."

Horn raised his objection without hesitation.

The Yishui Bureau and the Police Department both belong to the Deminghan public security system. There is no distinction between their positions. Now they are under the leadership of dominant strong people. This scale of interrogation should not be thought of unless it is approved by the Yishui Bureau Director!

Not to mention that if the result is not found in the end, they will all face serious punishment.

"We need to change the entry point. In some cases I have experienced before, I have encountered similar situations. Some morbid black wizards often extract the souls of the victims in order to prevent some aliens with soul dialogue from getting their identity information through communication with the souls of the dead. The question is why anyone uses this method to Mrs. Irving? Could it be that she knows some special information, even if she dies, someone is not at ease and needs to pull her soul away to be considered complete?"

Unlike Donald who had to specifically ask Diliya for confirmation, the first thing Boglo thought of after learning this information was someone who wanted to destroy the memories in Mrs. Irving's soul.

After all, he is an old investigator with rich experience, which saves Donald a lot of effort to explain.

"I have the same idea as Boglo. Instead of competing with the police station, it is better to start with the clues that are easier to start at the moment. I suggest that I divide into three teams. Stephanie and I continue to look for this. Then Horn can find a way with Susanna to ask whether the police who rushed in before have any signs. As long as it is not formal interrogation, they should not do anything. Boglo and Pence can check if Ms. Irving has had any special actions recently, and contact me in time if you find any discoveries. Stephanie, you should bring the communicator with you, right?"

Raising the trace powder in his hand, Donald was not ready to break this line. If he wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, it was the best way to act separately.

The communicator was recently distributed by the Special Registration Bureau for short-range instant messaging. Donald just came back from an overseas island and didn't know how to use it, so he temporarily stored it in Stephanie.

"According to Donald's plan, don't act without permission."

This is the best plan at the moment, and Horn doesn't have any more additions.

"Some of this powder is sprinkled."

After everyone else left, Donald touched his nose and suddenly said.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe they will find new discoveries soon?"

"Haha, pessimistic? On the contrary, I'm very optimistic now, Stephanie, why do you think I should choose this seemingly most time-consuming method of investigation?"

Donald looked at Stephanie with a mysterious smile and said with an eyebrow raised.

"It's not because you are the only one with the power of spiritual vision?"

"No, the real reason is that I think this method is the most likely to find the murderer. Letting you stay is just to allow you to share the achievements... only the achievements shared by the two of us!"

He blinked at Stephanie, leaving only his own people, and Donald stopped hiding it.

"Why are you so sure you can find the murderer?"

Stephanie was a little overwhelmed by Donald's change of tone.

"Of course it was because I found the traces of him when he left."

Looking at the mark under his feet, Donald actually discovered it just now, but he didn't say it. In addition, when the murderer left, there was chaos in the villa and no one paid attention to his escape route, so Horn and others thought that he had not discovered the route of the murderer's escape.

Since joining the Rose Squad, Donald has only one goal, earning enough achievements and participating in the year-end investigative officer evaluation.

For this team, sense of belonging?
