New Gods of North America

David Mills was on his way to the next crime scene.

Climbed into the two carriages of Wayne and his companions.

Even now, he still looked a little frightened. Looking at the cloth wrapped around the mirror on the carriage, he couldn't help but shake his head:

"How could you collect such a dangerous thing without permission? You should hand it over to the church in time for proper disposal."

David Mills didn't seem to know that it was the "wise sage" who came.

But according to him, he clearly felt the breath of "danger" and "uncleanliness" just now.

Lina certainly disagrees with him:

"This mirror is very expensive! If you meet someone from the Truth Church, they will even be willing to pay a high price for it. If you put it in the church's warehouse, it will just gather dust."

Wayne patted David Mills on the shoulder and supported him in a seemingly objective manner, "Don't worry, we already have a complete set of plans to manage it safely, and there will be no accidents."

David Mills glanced again at the corner of the carriage where the mirror wrapped in cloth was thrown.

The look in his eyes spoke for itself. "Is this what you call 'safety management'?"

The matter of the "wise sage" is probably not suitable to be said in front of such serious church personnel.

So Wayne laughed and said, "Usually we would seal it in a safe. This time we just accidentally brought it out because we were transporting it. Don't you think we have dealt with it in time?"

David Mills' attitude did not seem to change. "Even if I cannot confiscate it directly, I will report this matter to the church according to regulations after I return."

Wayne expressed his understanding. "No problem. It's just an ordinary extraordinary item. Although its status may not be low, it is not very harmful. The church actually allowed us to exchange extraordinary items with contributions before, so this matter is not as dangerous as you think."

Um……

Compared to Lina herself, the problem with this mirror should be much smaller...

In fact, Wayne himself has looked at himself in this mirror. Apart from the occasional "flower screen", it is almost the same as an ordinary mirror.

…

Each of them reserved their opinions and arrived at the third crime scene, which was the landlord's house on the "next day".

This time the murderer's operation was relatively simple, he just tied the person up and bled him.

By the way, he also took a small bucket and poured it on the windows facing the street.

Judging from the fact that no one noticed it at the time, the things were thrown at least late at night - in fact, the police received the report in the morning.

Apart from that, there wasn't much blood at the scene.

That's the big pool near the victim's body, which looks a bit scary.

However, if we look at it this way, the order in which the scenes were discovered and the order in which the murderer committed the crimes are really inconsistent.

According to the current situation, use logic to analyze,

The murderer probably kidnapped the "fat man" or the "landlord" first, then went to the street alley and chopped the "thug", and then went to the "fat man" in his bloody clothes to clean up.

Although it is still unclear whether he dealt with the "landlord" first and then chopped the people, or whether he chopped the people and changed his clothes before splashing blood on the window,

But it is highly likely that the murderer “Fatty” was not encountered on the third day, but on “Day Zero”.

There is no such thing as a "gastric contents examination" these days, and the investigation report does not clearly state how long the "landlord" was kidnapped.

This "landlord" is not a "service-oriented landlord". He is the type who does nothing but collect rent. He doesn't interact much with his tenants and he hardly ever goes out.

However, if the murderer tied up the person in one go, then slowly drained his blood and fed him the "paste\

,"Then the murderer might not be committing "one crime a day", but rather being "busy for a while" and then slowly controlling the time for the scene to be discovered.

Inesa apparently noticed this, too:

"Based on the current situation, the possible victims may have been controlled by the murderer."

David Mills nodded silently beside him with a serious expression.

Lina was flipping through the old books in the "landlord's" cabinet, as if she was trying to find out if he had hidden any private money or something.

The things that the "landlord" read were quite diverse, including outdated newspapers and periodicals, as well as large volumes such as scriptures and historical works, and even melodramatic novels that made Lina shake her head after reading them.

Maybe that's why he doesn't go out much.

Looking at the old desk, I found that the "landlord" himself was a researcher, and there was a pile of materials that looked like archives.

Many research topics only have a title or an introduction, and nothing else.

There are even things that look like novels, but the beginnings are never finished.

There are even fewer effective clues here than in "Bad Boy" or "Fatty".

Lina didn't find any hidden money in the end, so she clapped her hands:

"Our next stop, shall we go to the morgue to look at the bodies, or go back to the police station and wait for the next victim to be found?"

Wayne had read some criminal investigation knowledge in novels or TV dramas before.

But when it comes to professional autopsy, Wayne is really not that good at it. He would rather look at the autopsy report given by the police.

Bill Tench also knew that the current situation was not optimistic, but he still wanted to struggle:

"Do you have any clues or directions you can think of at the moment? Even if we can get a little closer to the murderer, it will buy time for the possible victims."

Everyone fell silent.

Wayne tried to think about it:

"If we don't pursue accuracy, based on the current situation, the murderer is likely to have a carriage that he can use alone, which belongs to him or his employer.

“And judging from the fact that the murderer did not take any valuables, it is clear that the murderer did not commit the crime for money, at least not for direct money.

"So we can roughly infer that the murderer may have a relatively stable life or job, and may have had some interactions with the victims, and may have had certain 'pursuits'?"

This is actually "correct nonsense". If you screen people in a city based on such broad criteria, you can screen out hundreds or even thousands of people.

But at this point, even Lina’s prayers to the “wise sage” did not get an answer, so she could only try to “profile” to ease the atmosphere.

So everyone looked at each other in silence and could only go back to the police station to continue looking through the materials.

Who knows, some group of investigators might bring back some new clues.

Before leaving, David Mills made a prayer gesture with the Holy Spirit's seal on his chest.

Wayne noticed his movements and suddenly had a new idea.

"You said that a place that can connect the sons of wealthy merchants with factory workers, street thugs, and small urban landlords...

“Could it be the church?”
