Crow's Paradise

At dusk, Arnold sat on the bench in front of the newspaper office, rubbing the corners of his eyes while sorting out the various clues he found throughout the day.

He had previously used the momentum of the Nightingale Birdman to guide a group of detectives in the direction of the Rat Man and the sewers. Although the detectives said they did not fully trust him, in the absence of other information, they followed the direction he provided. .

In just one day, through the information reported by various detectives, he was able to eliminate most of the sewers in the first and second districts.

Human data is indeed something that is difficult to replace.

After summarizing the information gathered from all aspects, Arnold sighed in a low voice.

When faced with various cases, Arnold is mostly calm and calm. He also thinks that he is an excellent detective. However, in the face of this kind of problem, he can only admit that his strength is insufficient.

However, Arnold did not expect that this "game" that he had originally ignored would bring him so much information.

He himself has conducted a more rigorous review of this information one by one. He can be sure that the vast majority of the information is certain.

However, Arnold is worried about one thing——

That is the information about the black market, which has not been leaked by any media so far. He has been conducting various investigations for such a long time without any additional gains. This in itself means that the secrecy of the black market information has reached a level that he cannot touch. the point.

So, in this case, is his "review" a valid act?

Arnold wasn't sure.

But there was nothing he could do except examine the practice more carefully.

Now, many detectives are looking in this direction, and he can only choose to believe that the sense of smell of these detectives is not far behind his, if not sharper than his.

At the same time, he is also quite active walking around various detectives. If you need manpower or help, you can look for him. Even if you don't look for him, he will take the initiative to come forward.

It has to be said that whether it is his original identity or his identity as "Licid", he has many friends in this detective circle. This was originally planned to collect information about the black market. In this time, it worked.

And he also discovered that the two police detectives had also contacted the police station and seemed to be investigating related information.

After all, for things like serial murders, no matter whether the two detectives were sent by the police station to perform work or for their own pleasure, they needed to provide information to the police station for investigation.

And that's exactly what Arnold needed.

However, he also needs to pay attention to one thing——

That is, what if organizations like the police force are enemies?

He had previously thought that such an organization could not have no clues, so there might be official involvement, acquiescence, support, or personal termination.

Arnold is quite sensitive to these types of messages.

Therefore, he also needs to observe.

Maybe we can find a breakthrough from the police.

The werewolf detective smiled and showed his teeth.

Unlike those hunting dogs that were tamed by the upper class, he found something good.

There have been a lot of homicides in Central City recently, but most of them have nothing in common.

And that elf is described as a rat man.

Indeed, he found a lot of unusual activity among the Skaven.

However, he believed it had little to do with the serial killings.

but

The werewolf detective narrowed his eyes.

Although it didn't matter, these rat men were obviously targeting the police station and avoided the hounds and falcons at the police station in various ways.

These rat men are fighting against the police.

Thinking of this, his smile became even bigger.

detective?

No, he had no information about helping solve the case.

His goal is to find the criminals most worthy of their hunt.

His goal is this.

As for the rest? unimportant.

However, the number of criminals who can get his attention is much less than he expected.

Although these rat men should not be the perpetrators of the serial murders, he became interested in these rat men.

The Church of Bones, right?

Speaking of which, in some historical records about the Dark Ages, the Church of Bones indeed played a disgraceful role.

He calmed down his thoughts, called his men, and asked them to send over all the relevant texts about the Church of Bones.

night.

Arnold's eyes focused on a case from January ago.

This case occurred in a corner near a sewer, and there were six victims in total.

Although these victims seemed to have died on the spot, some suspicious points were discovered after a search and investigation.

Police believe these suspicions point to another building nearby, which they believe is a fake site.

However, Arnold had another idea——

These scenes are indeed disguised, but they are just inducement traps.

The crime scene was indeed near the sewer.

Arnold narrowed his eyes.

Smart criminals can counter-detection, forge evidence, forge alibi, and engage in various battles of wits with the police and detectives.

And what is most likely to appear is suspicion.

What would the police think, then I would take advantage of the situation.

Arnold has seen a lot of this.

The police may also have some experience and will carefully identify the traps set by the perpetrators.

but

'Criminals know what the police will think'

“The police know the perpetrators know what the police think”

“Criminals know what the police know and criminals know what the police think”

When people with simple thinking face this situation, they will always simply and crudely think that the deeper they think, the more powerful they will be.

However, sometimes, thinking too much can bring danger to your situation and have the opposite effect.

Moreover, this kind of speculation is itself based on a preset confrontation based on the fact that the other party can find doubts.

Just like now, if the police do not suspect the clues, but directly believe that the case occurred near the sewer, then it will be a typical counter-effect.

Or conversely, there were no problems at the scene, but because of overthinking, some things that were not evidence were presupposed as evidence.

However, that's exactly why.

He did find artificially created doubts.

So

Outside the window, a nightingale birdman was looking at Arnold's residence from a distance.

Next to him was a dark green rat man on crutches:

"Your plan doesn't seem to be very effective?"

"But it's the most secretive way, isn't it?"

"hidden?"

"It seems that you think that because you have been exposed, you have to end it quickly, right?"

"Of course, don't you think your plan is better?"

"Yeah, better for me."

"'For me'?"

"Yes, just like you don't put your hopes on me, you have your own plan. Even if I carry out my plan, you haven't stopped acting, right? Of course I will do it in the best way for myself. Take into account your plans.”

"Um."

The green rat turned around and disappeared from the nightingale birdman.
