Mystery: The Star Key

  Chapter 99 Basic Deduction

When   Jennings and Joshua heard Igna's words, their eyes were as big as copper bells.

   "You're not writing a novel, are you?" Joshua said.

   "These are quite obvious." Ignat asked Joshua and Jennings rhetorically, "Can't you see it?"

   "...Well, it's still...not obvious to me." Jennings twitched the corners of his mouth.

   "I think so too." Joshua said a little embarrassedly, "Tell me, how did you see it?"

"After I came in, I saw the evidence found from the deceased's body, including ink pads and seals, and his fingers were obviously stained with ink. During the work, I will carry these items with me, and the fingers are on them. Obviously, there are not many occupations that can be contaminated with ink. Most likely it is grassroots financial practitioners or lawyers.

"But most financial practitioners can't afford to wear such fine clothes. The three-piece suit worn by the deceased is obviously worth a lot of money. It is not brand new, but it has not been washed many times, indicating that he should be more than a financial A lawyer with a higher salary. Of course, he also wears a diamond cufflink pin to illustrate the point.

"But such a person died alone in the outskirts of the country. There was no servant to carry the suitcase for him, and he only brought a large suitcase when he went out. There was no trace of a wedding ring on his hand. This shows that he is currently a A man's life. A man who has the money to buy cufflinks, brooches and bespoke clothing, but has no decent people to take care of. Shows that he is spending most of his time frugally.

   "Is a single lawyer who is willing to spend money on professional suits but no one hires servants to start a business? Isn't a lawyer who is starting a business coming to Backlund with a big suitcase to handle a big case?"

  "..." Jennings and Joshua opened their mouths and looked at each other, but they didn't say anything for a while.

   After a while, Joshua asked, "Then...then how did you know he just came out of the train station?"

"His clothes had a faint smell of first-class cleaners and air fresheners on a train," Igna said, "and there was a bit of coal in it. He was carrying a suitcase and had this on him. People with two flavors can only just get off the train, right?"

  "..." Both Jennings and Joshua fell silent.

After a long while, Jennings patted Ignatius firmly on the shoulder and said very sincerely: "Shellin, have you ever wanted to become a private detective in the past? Your reasoning ability is definitely not inferior to the great detective Sherlock Moriarty. ."

   Actually, I really thought about it... um, but I can't say that.

  Ignatius can only say vaguely: "I still prefer to write. But Sherlock Moriarty has always been my idol."

   While the three of them were chatting in low voices, the two inspectors came out of the room. Joshua immediately trotted over to the two inspectors and saluted.

   The two inspectors saw Igna many times during their conversation with Joshua. Then, after the three of them talked for a while, the two inspectors quickly left.

   "You're right." After sending off the Inspector, Joshua walked to Ignatius' side and looked at him with a very complicated look.

   "The deceased is Backlund who came by train from other places. He is a lawyer and is busy with his work during the entrepreneurial period. He is single and has no servants to take care of." Joshua said.

   Hmm... Igna nodded secretly. According to the description, the two "professionals" should have completed the "reconnaissance" using methods similar to "psychic" or "dream divination". Only by using metaphysical methods, there will be only results and no reasoning process.

   One of the two people who just came must be a substitute punishment, and the other may be a night watchman, because he looks very calm, not like someone from the Church of the Storm.

   "Then the deceased this time, like the previous four, also 'forced' and 'voluntarily' committed suicide by taking poison?" Igna didn't ask how they got this result, but instead asked.

  Joshua frowned and looked at Igna without making any answer. But his expression already said his opinion.

   "Are there no other people's footprints in the room?" Igna could only turn to other questions.

   "Yes." Joshua said, "It has been photographed for evidence, and the soil on the soles of the shoes has been extracted for testing. The results will be available at that time."

   "Yeah." Igna nodded, "Have you found the suitcase?"

   "Not yet." Joshua said, "I just told the two police officers that they should be able to find them soon."

   "Okay, I understand." Igna didn't ask more. Because even if asked, Joshua would never be able to answer.

   However, since the two police officers were able to find the suitcase, it means that they have the ability to fortune-telling. There is an increased likelihood that the other young officer is the Nighthawk.

  Because, the official Beyonders in the sequence of fortune tellers should all be night watchers. The current Church of Fools does not have the right to establish a team of Beyonders.

   Joshua, Ignatius, and Jennings waited for a while at the scene, and then saw the two police officers returning to the crime scene with a larger suitcase.

The two police officers handed the suitcase to Joshua's hands, and the agitated inspector said, "The suitcase has been found, but the fingerprints have been wiped off. The other things are still there, with his Identification documents, power of attorney, and a change of clothes... an obituary can be issued, and his family is invited to claim the body."

   "Okay." Joshua nodded, took the suitcase and handed it to the police officer on the side.

"Dr. Jennings' assistant, isn't it. You are not bad, you are very good." The agitated inspector said to him, his voice was deep and deep, as if he was born to represent majesty and punishment, "The Lord will praise you for your discovery, this Let us directly locate his identity by saving a lot of police force. Thank you."

   is the punisher, and he's actually quite polite... But Igna didn't expect Joshua to give him this "credit". This discovery can actually be said by Joshua to be what he saw.

  Igna nodded to the penalty person, and nodded four times on his chest: "This is my honor. It was the gift of Mr. Fool that I happened to be able to discover these abnormalities."

   Hearing Igna's words~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the inspector seemed a little stunned.

Then, instead of talking to Igna, he turned his head and said to Joshua: "Then the special operations team's on-site investigation is over, you can continue your regular investigation, and our special operations team will leave first. You Remember to submit the inspection report to the special operations team.”

   "Yes, sir." Joshua saluted the two inspectors and sent off the two airborne superiors.

   "Anything else about us?" Igna asked Joshua.

   "No." Joshua patted Ignatius on the shoulder and said, "Leave it to us next, you and Jennings can leave first, and the body will be returned to Siviras later."

Eh? Is it so easy to get off work?

   pulled away the somewhat surprised Igna, and Jennings quietly winked at him: "Don't worry, this is the privilege of the technicians."

   "Otherwise, why do you think I chose to be a forensic doctor at the Civellas Field?"

   I found that I forgot to update the setting period.
