Inside the store was warm and cozy, but Jenkins's felt terribly uncomfortable. He hoped that his act of sending flowers had nothing to do with the man's death, otherwise it would be too bad.
Captain Bincy sighed and shook his head:
"It's a big problem. This man's name is Xinvik Stein, a big businessman who lives in the east of the city. Today he invited a beautiful lady to his house as a guest, and the two stayed in the study for a long time.
The servants heard nothing during this time, but they remained in the room too long. About two hours ago, the domestic pet dog kept barking at the study, and the servants boldly went in to check, only to find Mr. Stan's head... Poor maid, I came back from there just now, she was really terrified . "
"Where's the woman and the rest of the body? Taken?"
Jenkins asked hastily.
"As it stands... it's hard to explain."
He didn't know what to say, so he put on his hat again and beckoned Jenkins to leave together:
"Sorry Jenkins, now you and I need to go to the scene of the crime to confirm some things. It won't take long. The church carriage will take you back to the church in a while. I know you still have evening classes."
"Is this related to a trick or a special item?"
Jenkins nodded in agreement, but still asked worriedly.
"There are currently no indications of this."
As he said that, he said to his father again: "Jenkins and I will leave together, and I swear to the sage that I will guarantee his safety."
"I think you should pay more attention to your own safety."
The old man muttered in his heart, and then drove the two of them and the cat out.
Captain Bincy didn't take away the photo of the severed head, it was still placed on the counter. The old man frowned and looked at the dying man in the photo, but he didn't guess what happened.
"Audrey, do a divination about this matter. I don't want the cause, result and process. I just want to know the name of the woman who disappeared."
At half past five, Miss Audrey took the initiative to come to the antique shop to have a conversation with Dad. She heard such a request as soon as she opened the door, and immediately started to prepare without asking why.
"If that's the case, then it's really unfortunate."
Dad sighed softly.
(Chocolate tail flick... )
The incident took place a little far from Papa's antique shop next to the pier area. It took Jenkins and Captain Bincy half an hour to cross half of the city to reach Mr. Stein's house.
He should be a very successful businessman, because that house is like a manor, with a large garden. The building is divided into three floors, occupying more than three times the area of Jenkins' house, and the number of servants in the house exceeds double digits.
At this time, the servants were standing tremblingly by the wall of the foyer waiting, and all the active people in the building were police detectives and police officers in uniform. There are also some fakes, such as Jenkins and Captain Bincy.
"The suit was a little too small and I felt like someone was pinching my wrist."
He followed Captain Bincy to the second floor while unbuttoning his cuffs, and had to dodge a group of police officers hurrying down from the third floor. But those police officers are obviously not real police officers. Many of them Jenkins has seen before. They are the gravekeepers of the Church of the End of Death.
The study is located on the second floor of the building. After walking up the stairs, walk along the corridor to the third door on the left, which is the location of the crime. At this time, the door was open, and a young police officer stood at the door to supervise the people entering and leaving.
He obviously knew Captain Bincy, or the star on Captain Bincy's shoulder, and he nodded and let them go in.
"The sound insulation in this study is very good. It is difficult to hear the sound from the outside after closing the door... Look here."
Poor Mr. Stein's head had been removed at this time, and the carpet was rolled up and moved aside, so that the police could draw the fixed lines of the traces of the body. The position of the head is close to the piano on the side, and the lid of the piano is open, and the chair is slightly pulled away.
There were no traces of fighting in the room, and everything should have happened very quickly.
"Actually, I'm curious, how did you find me? After all, I have very little connection with this matter."
Jenkins looked casually to both sides and asked softly.
"Because besides the lost corpse, there is another thing that disappeared here—a delicate red rose. The servants were very impressed with this flower. It is difficult to see such a bright flower in winter, and the dead will After it was brought home, it didn’t show any weakness.”
"So, you found me based on the flowers?"
"Yes, the servant who drove the coach knew you at that time. He had seen your picture in the newspaper. Moreover, according to the description, it could only be you. Who else could have such ability in the Norland parish?"
In fact, Captain Bincy did not say a word, that is, it is not surprising that such a bad thing is associated with Jenkins.
Although it seemed that the police officers were investigating the case, the people in the room at this time were actually the benefactors. They are from [Starry Sky and Equilibrium Church], [Knowledge and Book Church], and [Death and the End Church]. The dead believe in the righteous god [Vientiane Starry Sky]. This area is under the jurisdiction of the Sage Church, and it involves extraordinary death cases. Generally, believers at the end of death are invited to help dispose of the corpse to prevent the corpse from changing due to the influence of extraordinary power.
Team leaders from other churches also know Jenkins because of various incidents in the past six months, and a simple handshake is considered a greeting. Captain Bincy called Jenkins just to make sure about the flower.
"It can be confirmed that extraordinary power was involved in this incident. Before and after the incident, someone witnessed a tall black shadow jumping on the roof of this block. It was obviously not a human being. The question now is, why did your flower It also disappeared with the woman and the corpse. Maybe the murderer took it because of its beauty, but the probability of this is very small."
"I see."
Jenkins nodded, and then briefly described what he had done with the flower. There is nothing unusual about this, it just gives new life to a dead rose.
Captain Bincy asked someone to find a new rose, which revived Jenkins as if at noon, and then brought it into the scene for simulation. The psychic of the Church of Death and the Last Day temporarily recalled Mr. Stein's soul, but the soul was confused and refused to cooperate to reveal the appearance of the murderer. Only when seeing this bright red rose, the tendency to degenerate into an evil spirit at any time will be slightly relieved.
