Chapter 123: Eyewitnesses


In the subconscious of human beings, many information that they are not aware of are often recorded, such as smell, such as temperature, such as sound, etc.; In the course of an investigation, these insignificant details can be the difference between the dots.It's not that the truth is too difficult to decipher, it's that it's not looked at it carefully enough and isn't close enough."

Squadron Leader, who found the body and notified the vigilantes?

Perhaps he may have witnessed some important clues. ”Hodden notices a third person who has been ignored at the murder scene and asks his own questions."

Neighbor Neon McKay.When he got up to work in the morning, he noticed Austin's crying, found the body, and notified the vigilantes. ”After Issa answered, he analyzed and explored on his own, "The vigilante at that time asked Suzanne's work colleagues and friends, etc., but did not find the suspect, nor did he find the motive for the crime, and there were no clues; Moreover, Austin's father does not exist either. ”"There are no names, no records, and no portraits.Well......

Austin was eventually sent to an orphanage, and it seems that the clue to the family was also broken. ”Issa pondered around the thin one-page file, only to find that there was no angle from which to investigate.So, Issa looked up at Howlen, "Is there any clue to your friend?"

”"My friend said that Suzanne was his mother and that he witnessed the murder of his mother, but he did not have a complete memory because he was only three years old at the time."

Hodden also explained the information he had in the most concise terms."

So, he's Austin?"

Parsia's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but show pity.Holden paused, "His name is Oliver." ”Stare.Stare.Parcia and Issa looked at each other, unresponsive for a moment.What does this mean......

Suzanne has another child?

”Pacia hesitated to express his guess, "Or was there another child at the scene of the murder that night?"

Like, the murderer's child?

”Then continue to stare.Hodden didn't look too surprised, "As long as we follow the clues and investigate, we will be able to find out the truth."

Whether he is a victim or a child of a perpetrator, for him, only by getting the truth can he be freed. ”Issa once again cast his gaze at Hoden, a mature wisdom that did not match his age.But then Hoden continued to throw clues, "red and yellow balloons, a steam light rail, and an Austin name." ”"Austin!"

Parsia's round eyes were almost falling out, "This......

What the hell is going on?

”"Anything is possible."

Hodden gives an open-ended answer, never presupposing an answer until the truth is known.Issa also bowed his head lightly in agreement, "Don't make random assumptions yourself, but follow the clues and remain objective, so that you can gradually get closer to the truth." ”Although it was only a one-time collaboration, Issa also learned a lot – and she didn't mind learning from the young Holden."

So, are you ready to investigate?"

Issa asked, smiling.Pacia was also a little eager to try, but still asked, "Squadron leader, are we going to participate in the investigation together?"

”Issa's eyes were still fixed on Holden, and he said with a smirk, "Our security team credentials can still help at some point."

Right, Hoden?

”Hodden shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "I thought you weren't interested." ”He is not averse to Issa's joining, "but there is still a little file to investigate before leaving.The cases that are kept here in the Permafrost Scepter, when will they be updated?

”"Twelve months ago."

Issa explained, "If a case hasn't been updated for more than 12 months, we'll store it here temporarily; But as long as there is constant movement of clues or evidence or witnesses, the case is kept upstairs with a separate file storage room. ”"Documented."

Pascia added.Hoden nodded in understanding, "Wait a minute. ”Then, Hoden took the initiative to take a step forward, stretched out his right hand and touched the outer wall of the permafrost scepter, and instantly he could feel the majestic and turbulent sea of information venting towards him, and the feeling of the vastness of splitting his head and covering his face created a breath-holding shock, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he might get lost in it.Now Holden finally understood what Pascia had just felt—he did it on purpose, out of curiosity; But after being mentally prepared, Hodden savored the feeling of the ocean, and then mobilized the keywords he had prepared early and searched for the file he wanted: "Nick Nightingale".This was not Hoden's original plan.He didn't expect the appearance of the Permafrost Scepter, so he didn't prepare the investigation materials; But now that the opportunity has arisen, Holden has not missed the reason - originally, Holden wanted to formally ask Issa to see if he could find a trace of Nick Nightingale through Issa, but this is likely to mean that he must tell his secret, at least partially, which is definitely not the direction of things that Holden wants to go.Not to mention whether Issa is willing to help, it is enough for Hodden to avoid revealing his secrets as much as possible.He hadn't figured out how to find Nightingale yet, but the opportunity came to him.But the result did not surprise Holden: nothing.No criminal record of Nightingale has been found in the Scepter of Permafrost, on the one hand, only cases older than twelve months have been kept; On the other hand, it is highly probable that Nightingale was not involved in the crime – otherwise his name would not have appeared in the tailor's register at the end of August.Speculation is speculation, and Holden still needs further confirmation; Now that the idea has been preliminarily confirmed, Hoden's psychology has bottomed out a little.Immediately after that, Holden mobilized the second keyword."

Naron Mackay".This time, just waiting for a moment, you can clearly feel the rough texture of the parchment scroll between the palms of your hands, and you can curl up your fingers inward, and then you can feel a slight sinking weight, and the scroll has already appeared in the palm of your hand, which is indeed a novel experience."

What kind of file is this?"

Issa asked, unexpectedly, that in the midst of the lightning, Hoden would investigate another name.Hodden opened the file and explained, "I thought I might not be able to investigate, but I just tried it, but I didn't expect to find it." ”Parcia poked his head over and exclaimed, "Leon McKay?

That neighbor?

”Could it be that there is something wrong with this good neighbor of Iwabuchi who took the initiative to report the crime?

And also have a criminal record?
