Sure enough, even though the third room on the left side of the stairs on the first floor of the club was currently in use, when Shad proposed to change that room, the people in the club agreed without even hesitation.
The out-of-town wine merchants who used that room to discuss business were politely invited to the room on the second floor. Shade and Miss Beas entered the room alone again. The detective watched Miss Beas walk into the room with some excitement, so he blinked his eyes, and the wheel of life in his soul spun at an extremely weak speed.
Blood was diffused in his right eye, but it was hard to detect. In the normal field of vision, an unusually obvious halo of blood appeared, forming a trajectory of the victim's movement in the air, and this trace could be easily observed without even being captured.
In the state of "Divine Afterglow", this spell becomes more handy.
While Shade was using his own spells to observe clues, Miss Bei Yasi was also working hard. Although Shade didn't know what ability she used, it was clear that she had found some important clues in the room where the investigation team of the Orthodox Church had not found any clues.
In the blood vision of Xia De's right eye, the largest pool of blood was on the side of the sofa, in front of the cabinet where the vase was placed. The entire cabinet was splattered with blood, and there was a pool of blood on the floor.
Miss Beatrice also found this place and stood in front of the brown solid wood three-layer drawer cabinet, almost whispering:
"There are traces of remaining souls..."
"What?"
Xia De asked this deliberately, fearing that the other party would say something inappropriate again.
Sure enough, the girl with long brown hair also realized what she had said. She immediately turned around to observe the detective's expression. Seeing the latter's puzzled expression, she felt a little relieved:
"When I was training at Blackstone Security, I received special training in addition to women's fighting techniques. I think something may have happened around here."
“Is the security company’s training so good?”
Shade sighed and walked over to the cabinet.
Although he didn't know why the Orthodox Church didn't discover this, Xia De, based on the principle of doing things when taking other people's gold pounds, was very considerate and pulled out the drawers, moved the flower pots somewhere else, turned over the cabinets, and conducted a careful inspection of the place.
The cabinet had indeed been scrubbed clean, but at the bottom of the cabinet, where the wooden floor met the wall, there were traces of blood that were almost invisible to the naked eye.
If Shade hadn't used magic to observe it, he wouldn't have been able to find it even if he tried to look for it:
"Miss Beas, look here."
Xia De stood up and turned up the gas lamp above his head, then squatted down and pointed at the bloodstain. The lady with long brown hair also gathered her skirt and squatted down, following his finger, and indeed saw the blood in the crack of the wall:
"It looks like this is it!"
She did not doubt Xia De's "sharpness" and stood up happily:
"Detective, please step out for a moment. I need to use a special method to identify these bloodstains. Because it is a unique technique, you cannot see it."
This means that she will be using magic that requires magic materials and spells, and ordinary detectives cannot watch.
"sure."
Xia De stood up quickly, turned around and left the room without asking anything. After waiting for a full ten minutes, Miss Bei Yasi let him go back again. Even though Xia De was not good at observing other people's expressions, he could see that the other party was excited as if his eyes were shining:
"Detective, I think this is indeed a great discovery. Through special techniques, I confirmed that this bloodstain appeared on the day Mr. Lawrence disappeared, and I also found a way to track it. I..."
"We should inform the Redwich Field about this, and then let a reliable official police force to track them down. After all, the cultists are very dangerous, and it is definitely not possible to chase them down by ourselves."
Shade said, he looked at Miss Bei Yasi inquiringly, and the latter was reminded, and her excitement returned to normal:
"That's right. I'm only here to look for clues. It would be foolish to chase them on my own. Then I'll return to Redwich Field."
She didn't slip and said church this time.
"Detective Hamilton, you played a very important role in this commission. I think if there is a chance, we can continue to cooperate."
She extended her hand to shake hands with Xia De, who of course would not refuse, but his eyes paused on the golden ring on the other's finger:
"So about the commission fee..."
"You make the offer, Detective."
Shade nodded. Miss Beas, who was disguised as a nominal police officer and a wine merchant, might not know the fee standard of the detective industry, but Shade didn't know it either. He thought about it and thought that Miss Beas's income would not be very high, and this investigation did not cost too much:
"How about 15 shillings? But you will see to it that I am brought back to St. Teresa's Place."
Although he had money temporarily, Xia De was not willing to spend it recklessly.
"No problem, detective, the price is very suitable. I think we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. It is a pleasure to work with you. I have been very unlucky these days, but I have not encountered any trouble when I acted with you."
Miss Beatrice was about to take money out of her purse when she said this. Xia De said:
"Also, Madam, when you report this matter to Redwich Field, can you please reduce my role a little? It is not convenient to disclose today's meeting with Miss Carina. You know, an unmarried Duchess meeting a strange man..."
He did not continue, but the other party must have understood. The reason why he knew that Carina Cavendish was unmarried was because she was still using the royal family name of Cavendish.
"Of course."
Miss Beatrice handed some small change to Shade, then took a small silver coin from her pocket, blew it in front of her mouth, and then immediately put it to her ear to listen:
“Here’s a tip.”
She handed the small silver coin to Shad along with a fifteen-shilling note.
The silver coin with the portrait of the previous king is not legal tender, but it can still be circulated, with a face value of 8 shillings to 10 shillings. Its nature is between commemorative coins and circulating currency, and some special trading occasions particularly prefer this type of coin:
"Thank you, generous lady."
Shad waved his hat and spoke in an exaggerated tone. Miss Beatrice covered her mouth and chuckled. Both of them were in a good mood.
Miss Beas also had to return to the city center from the East District of Tobesk where the Lucky Southern Cross Club was located. The Church of the Sun was a little further away, and she could drop off Shad at the square on the way.
There happened to be an empty carriage parked in front of the club, so the two of them rode back together. They were both very satisfied with their gains.
