Chapter 432 Another Clue

"I said... Dear students, aren't you getting into the drama too deeply? You really think of yourself as a great detective!"

Martin interrupted the argument impatiently.

"The work of investigating the case and catching the murderer should be handed over to the police. You are not in this line of work, so why waste your time thinking about it."

"The police can't count on those bastards, so they won't bother to investigate the real culprit." Ah Zhi said angrily.

He has great resentment for the police's use of the murder as an excuse to suppress the Sons of Liberty Association.

"Guys, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Compared to Rawls Laboratory, the ground here is as clean as an ice rink. I can't find any valuable clues."

Xiao Miao stood up with her hands on her knees, a wry smile of frustration hung on the corners of her lips.

"There were no traces of fierce fighting at the scene, and there were no suspicious footprints. If the two masters were not killed on the same day and on the same campus, I even suspect that the two murders are not related at all."

"You mean, the murderer of Walter Lee wasn't in the same group as Brother Jack and the Shepherd?" Rebecca asked in surprise.

"There is such a possibility, but on the same night, two different groups of murderers sneaked into the campus almost at the same time, committed crimes at the same time in two laboratories less than 100 yards away in a straight line, and killed two students of Leiden College's Austrian law major. Doesn't it sound absurd, Professor, to slip away without anyone noticing afterwards?"

Xiao Miao shrugged and spread her hands.

"It's unbelievable that so many coincidences came together. Judging from the existing evidence, I am more inclined to think that Brother Jack and the shepherd should be responsible for these two murders."

"Well, now we have at least one clear tracking target, and the next question is how to find the suspect." Ah Zhi twisted his whiskers and sighed, "It's a pity that the police are cracking down on our association recently, members of the Port of Leiden organization Most of them have gone out of the city to avoid the limelight, and the entire intelligence network has been paralyzed, and they can no longer help us track down the whereabouts of Brother Jack and the Shepherd."

"If we just rely on a few of us to search aimlessly, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack. It is really too difficult." Xiao Miao couldn't help sighing.

Everyone at the scene deeply felt that the next investigation work would be unsustainable, and they all stopped talking, thinking hard about the breakthrough of the case. The laboratory hall fell into a long silence, and the atmosphere gradually became dull.

"I have a way, maybe it will work."

Joan suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence, which immediately attracted everyone's surprised eyes.

"Tell me, what good idea do you have!" Xiao Miao asked excitedly.

Joan didn't reply immediately, opened the storage bag, took out a folded note from it, and handed it to Xiao Miao.

Xiao Miao opened the note, and Rebecca and the others surrounded it curiously, and found that there were several lines of text written on the note, which looked like a notice of missing objects.

"3000 Gold Durga bought the meteorite fragments that fell in Beaver Village..." Rebecca read the key words on the note in a low voice.

"This man is really generous. What kind of meteorite fragments are worth 3,000 Gold Duga?!" Martin clicked his tongue in amazement.

"What's even more interesting is that there is a mailing address at the end of this missing item notice - the Red Tomato Tavern in the port area of ​​Layton Port, hand it over to Idar." Teacher Benny reminded everyone with a smile.

"Idar? This name sounds familiar..." Ah Zhi shook his whiskers and thought for a few seconds, then suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "I remembered! Isn't Idar another name for 'Shepherd'! "

"Joan, how come you have the mailing address of the shepherd?" Xiao Miao asked eagerly.

"This is actually just a coincidence. I went back to my hometown of Delin this summer, and accidentally learned that a foreigner came to this town not long ago and asked for a lot of money to buy meteorite fragments that fell in a small village near this town. I was curious to ask someone for his contact information, so I got this missing item notice, if the name 'Idar' was not too remote, I wouldn't even think of 'Shepherd'."

Since Qiao An wanted to explain the cause and effect of the matter clearly, it was inconvenient to reveal the secret of "Tears of God". It really took a lot of brains to avoid the important and trivial in a few short sentences.

"Why did the 'Shepherd' go all the way to Delin Town to buy a piece of meteorite with a lot of money, that thing is really so valuable?" Martin asked in surprise.

"A meteorite did fall on Beaver Village this winter, triggering a violent explosion that razed the entire village to the ground. Afterwards, all residents in the village were reduced to ashes, and there was not a single survivor."

Joan didn't want to lie in front of his friends, so he didn't say any more. At least so far, what he said was the truth.

"If this meteorite is big enough, it fell from the sky, and it carried huge energy. It is normal for the entire village to be smashed into powder, and it is not worth making a fuss." Teacher Benny rubbed his chin and thought: "Why is the 'shepherd' The large amount of money to buy meteorite fragments may be just out of personal collection hobby, or maybe it is to use meteorites to perform some kind of religious ceremony. We don't need to pursue these details, as long as we know how to show up in the "Red Tomato" tavern, otherwise he And I won’t put my mailing address there.”

"Since he put his mailing address in the tavern, he will go to the tavern to check his mail at most every two or three days." Xiao Miao said dumbfoundedly, "The more I think about it, the weirder it becomes. The three of us spend almost all day in the tavern." The Red Tomato Tavern, who knows almost all the regulars of the tavern, didn’t even notice that the shepherd was among the crowd, it’s really too careless.”

"The Red Tomato Tavern has such a large number of customers every day, hundreds of people come and go, even if we have four pairs of eyes, we can't pay attention to everyone, and the shepherds can't go in and out of the tavern with a naked image. Sometimes he must disguise himself, deliberately avoiding people's sight, we didn't notice that he is normal." Ah Zhi comforted Xiao Miao.

"It doesn't matter if we didn't realize that the shepherd is around. I'm more worried that the shepherd has noticed us and even seen our identities. It's no wonder that the previous attempts to hunt him down ended in failure." Xiao Xiao Meow said bitterly.

"It's quite possible. After all, the images of you, Ah Zhi, and Mr. Benny are too special, and it's hard not to be noticed by others." Joan said frankly.

"Sister Meow, you should feel lucky." Rebecca said with a serious face, "The 'Shepherd' has been spying on you for so long, with his ability, it is not difficult to kill you in the dark .”

Hearing what she said, Xiao Miao, Ah Zhi, and Teacher Benny couldn't help but change their expressions.
