Demon Sage

Maybe it’s time to buy a pair of sunglasses.

Donald has been thinking about this after activating Spirit Vision for the first time. His ability has a dominant factor, and it is not easy to use it casually. A pair of sunglasses will provide a shield. There is a wiggle room.

The words were divided into two parts. Donald started from the first step of entering the Ratcatcher’s shop, and quietly sprinkled some tracing powder on the ground without letting the other two people see it.

Earning is false, seeing is believing.

This sentence cannot be said to be absolutely correct, after all, sometimes what the eyes see may be an illusion, but Donald still trusts his new abilities and the pursuit of powder, he wants to see , Is there any trace of the rat population on the ground in this rat catcher’s home?

The conclusion is… yes, but not much!

While walking out following Sherlock’s side, Donald’s eyes have been wandering on the ground where the tracing powder has been sprinkled, and mouse footprints do exist, to-and-fro, twists and turns, but vertical and horizontal. So a few, not so much as the traces of the activities of the rats, it is better to say that it is the visit of the foreign rats in the dead of night.

Judging from this clue alone, the rat catcher should not be suspicious. After all, if he really controlled a large number of mice, there is no reason why this would be the case on the ground.

“It’s best not to go out for the past two days. We may have to come to you. Of course, I will prepare a reward next time.”

Xia, who learned important information Locke walked briskly, and he had the address of the plumber in his hand. He believed that the case would soon turn around. Donald finally retracted his gaze and turned to close the door of the shop.

The footsteps faded away, and the Ratcatcher lifted his hunched body and sat on the wooden chair behind him.

“The people who should have come didn’t come, but the ones that shouldn’t have come… It’s okay, these two ordinary persons can go to this step, proving that the previous hand is still Not enough clean, those guys are probably more difficult to deal with, it’s time to move to another place.”

Curved his fingers and tapped the tabletop, took out a piccolo from the drawer under the workbench, put it in his mouth, and blew softly , There are dozens of iron cages in front of him, and there is no more noise.

This time, seeing is also empty!

“The plumber laid out his own plan at Abel’s house in the name of repairing the pipeline. It must be the case. He first found out the condition of the pipeline in Abel’s house. , and then arrange for the mice under his control to come in and steal through the mouse hole, so that a hundred locks on the front door are useless.”

Out of Bangli District, Sherlock shared his views , Donald touched his stomach, and the pointer on the pocket watch indicated 3:30 pm.

Opening the curtains next to the carriage, the sun outside is still blazing, but it also has a trend of prosperity and decline, and dusk will soon come.

“I haven’t eaten lunch yet, do I need to find a place to buy some?”

“Wait to catch the prisoner and eat a big meal, and now keep the stomach.”

Donald was a little hungry, but Sherlock had no idea of stopping.

The place where the plumber lives is not a short distance from the Bangli district. It took nearly twenty minutes to stop at the street where he was.

In an ordinary residential house, this time, Sherlock went up to knock on the door first, and it didn’t take long before a little girl came out to open the door.

“Is Mr. Searle at home?”

“Yes, my parents are at home.”

The little girl’s answer confirmed that the plumber, That’s Serge’s position.

“We are looking for your father for work. Can you tell him for us and let him come out?”

Anyway, the little girl is not guilty Yes, call Serge outside, even if something bad happens, it won’t leave a shadow on the child.

“Donald, do you feel something is wrong?”

When the little girl entered the door again, Sherlock suddenly asked without looking back.

“en! It’s the smell of grilled sausage!”

This family is preparing dinner, and the smell of meat is sensitive to Donald, who has eaten bread for two days thing.

Of course, this is just a little bit of humor. Donald knows what Sherlock wants to say. If this is the plumber’s home, then as a potential thief suspect, where does he control the rat? ?

There is no doubt that the rat is no less than some ferocious wild beast to women and children, letting a group of rats pass by in front of their daughter and wife with a pile of jewelry?

That scream could knock the roof off, and when the time comes there’s nothing to hide.

It’s a bit of a hassle if he’s taking control from some secret location outside, grabbing him doesn’t mean you’ll be able to find out where the treasure is, and as long as they don’t have Searle’s control Clear evidence of the rat, the latter just have to deny everything and they can’t take him.

No stolen goods, no evidence, they are not the police station and can apply for a search warrant and take them back for a slow trial. Private investigators have no right to arrest others. Their role can only be to find the murderer. Arrest or kill under the premise.

Note the premise: the evidence is solid!

“Two gentlemen, do you have a job looking for me?”

Searle appeared at the door, and Donald’s eyes froze at his first glance.

The plumber in front of him was wearing work clothes that he had not had time to take off, with some stains on his hands and cheeks.

The faces are simple and honest, and seeing the clean and tidy two people are somewhat laughtered, they hide their dirty hands back.

This is the thief who controlled a horde of rats to steal most of Abel’s warehouse jewelry?

“Mr. Searle, we are private investigators, and we are currently tracking down Mr. Abel’s home… a watch was stolen, we noticed that you entered Abel the other day. Sir, what did you do in his house?”

Sherlock spoke very fast, obviously, he realized something.

“I didn’t steal anything. That day, Mr. Erb’s kitchen pipe was blocked and asked me to fix it. I promise I just repaired the water pipe!”

plug Er was a little nervous, and the word order didn’t match.

“And then? Regarding the plumbing, did you widen the pipes.”

“Yes, I did widen the sewage pipes in Mr. Abel’s house.”

“And then? p>

Actually admit it so easily…

Sherlock’s face is not very good-looking. The widening of the pipeline is the key point of the case. With such an easy admission, there’s a good chance that he simply doesn’t know the significance of this!

“Who told you to widen the pipe at that time, didn’t you clear the blockage, why do you need to do this?”

“It was a rat catcher, I remember very clearly, at that time A dead mouse was found in the sewer pipe, it was the pipe it blocked, I was going to clean it out, but the rat catcher told Mr. Abel that if the pipe was not expanded, there might be mice Go in and block it, and then Mr. Abel asked me to expand the pipe, and it took three pipes to complete.”

Oops, cheated!

This plumber is simply a smoke bomb thrown at them by the rat catcher, deliberately using language to guide them to think in this direction.

The entry of the rat really depends on the expansion of the plumber It was the Ratcatcher who made it happen!

“What was the Ratcatcher doing when you were fixing the pipes?”

“He ? Carrying some tools and installing iron cages around the house…. I really only dredged and widened the pipes, and left when I was done. It doesn’t matter to me that things are stolen.”

Searle is still concerned about being seen as a thief, and repeatedly clarifies himself.

“Understood, thank you for your cooperation, Donald, let’s go.”

There is no time to explain anything at this time, catching criminals is the most important thing, the rat catcher deliberately hides it His own behavior, based on this alone, can almost determine his identity.

“Damn it, the criminal was deceived the first time I handled the case… Now think about it, he didn’t answer my question before, but asked me back directly, which is to seize the initiative of the speech. Quan, let us follow the rhythm of his conversation, unconsciously lead to the problem of the pipeline, this is miserable, the actions of the two of us just now beat the grass to scare the snake, he lied to us, wait for the two of us to leave, It will definitely be transferred immediately, and now I can only hope that I can make it in time… Sir, can you be quicker, it is about Mr. Abel’s jewelry!”

“This is your first commission. ?”

Staring at Sherlock’s mature and capable face, Donald only felt a toothache and began to wonder if there was something wrong with his eyesight.

The vicissitudes of life, the sullen beard, the lean temperament… This kind of face, no matter how you look at it, looks like a time-tested old detective, but he is actually a newcomer.

This is great, one is a rookie detective, and the other is a “amnesiac” who has just crossed over not long ago, and has little knowledge of the customs of this world, and received a reward of 15 The big commission of the golden pound is a hunchbacked old man with a wily old fox in the face of criminals.

The Brave hasn’t even played a slime yet, and has entered the Demon King castle directly…

“Sherlock, I don’t think it’s too sad, you don’t think we Although there are some twists and turns in the handling of the case, isn’t the thief confirmed smoothly now? As ordinary police officers, how could it be faster than us, we are just lacking in experience, and the mousetrap took advantage of it.”

The chagrin is chagrin, it is still necessary to blow it, otherwise, my boss is afraid that he will be ashamed and angry, after all, he was still in the car just now solemnly vowed that he had found the murderer.

Actually, what Donald said is not wrong. This case is handled by a normal police officer. If nothing else, Donald dares to guarantee that the mouse steals the jewelry. The ordinary police will never think of it. .

It’s not about being smart or not, it’s a mindset, just like we never think about the water glass talking or the cat jumping up and punching ourselves of).

The Ratcatcher also didn’t expect two stunners to fight with him in the ring, and they hit and hit by mistake, just caught the key, that is, the fact that the mouse stole jewelry.

It just so happened that Donald happened to have the ability of Spirit Vision and Sherlock also had a tracking powder, otherwise it would be unrealistic to track it down so quickly.
