Holden's attention wasn't on Issa because he didn't think it was a doubt.Not to mention the middle-aged men, even they were not able to capture too much blood, because the dampness and mold revealed by the whole environment really ruined the judgment of the breath, coupled with the thick fishy smell near the dock, it was really difficult to judge.However, Issa was keenly aware of the anomaly and asked questions, which was an improvement, and Hoden did not interrupt, and after listening carefully, he confirmed his suspicions, and his thoughts moved on to the next stage."
And what about this morning?"
Hodden then asked.The vivid memory once again called out the pain, and the middle-aged man's facial features were distorted.“…… Before going to the docks today, I was still worried about Nick's condition and knocked on the door again, but there was still no response, and it turned out that our little Anne came to the door and asked me if there was any rotten seafood in there, because she smelled a smell of rot, maybe we should show Nick what was going on. ”"Annie?"
Issa interjected."
A little girl at the door, only seven years old this year."
The middle-aged man still replied obediently: he still did not notice the smell of decay, but the young girl noticed the change in the smell, "I was a little worried, so I asked a few other neighbors, and everyone realized that something was wrong, and then we realized that the situation might be wrong, so we joined forces to knock open the door, and then ......"
The words were cut off at this point, and the deep despair flooded, and I was no longer able to continue.However, Hodden still needs to continue to "brutally" complete the questioning, "Have you heard anything in the past two or three days?"
I'm anything that catches your attention. ”The previous catharsis and telling successfully stabilized the middle-aged man's mood a little, and in Holden's inquiry, he did not fall apart, but took several deep breaths in a row to regain his composure.But the middle-aged man did not answer in a hurry, but thought carefully and carefully, because it took a bit of time, and it was obvious that he could detect Director Zvi's impatient movements—that fat body, any little movement could cause a lot of movement, and he had a strong presence without making a sound.But Julian's repeated glances silenced Director Zvi without interrupting Holden's thoughts.“…… The night before yesterday!
Some movement can be heard on the fire ladder outside the window, and cats can be heard meowing. ”Before the middle-aged man's voice fell, he could see that the eyes around him were stunned and speechless.His eyes searched in a panic, and finally found the calm-eyed Holden, and quickly explained, "It's rare to see cats in this area of our house, really, most of the wild cats are in the twelfth district." ”Holden raised his eyebrows slightly, and nodded at the middle-aged man, "This is very important information!"
As I said, any anomaly counts. ”The middle-aged man's eyes showed gratitude, and the rotation of his brain became obviously flexible, "That's right, that's right, I still think the moon was very red that night."
I wasn't sure, I always thought it was because I wasn't feeling well, but then Nick screamed, and I went out to inquire, and when I came back, it seemed to be normal again, and the moon was nothing special.At the time, I thought it must be my own thoughts. ”The thoughts in Holden's mind seemed to be associated with something, and the light in his eyes brightened slightly, "Thank you, this is also very valuable information." ”"What the hell are you kidding me!"
Director Zvi couldn't hold back after all, and muttered and complained, but this time he didn't lash out.Hodden stood up directly, returned to Nightingale's room, looked out of the window, and then you could see the fire ladder above the exterior wall, which is a fire staircase outside the regular stairwell, mainly used for crowd evacuation in case of accidents, and usually more of an animal paradise.Director Zvi, who stayed in place, couldn't believe his eyes, "Unbelievable!
It's unbelievable!
What the hell is that kid doing?
”Then he started talking badly about Holden behind his back, and it was clear that the "big" man now had a myriad of emotions that needed to be vented.Issa ignored the other party, patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder to express comfort, thanked him for his help, and told Patia to take care of the middle-aged man, and then got up and followed in Holden's footsteps.By the time she reached the window, Hoden had already left the window, and he was standing directly on the fire ladder, looking as if he was looking at the scenery - but it was only the second floor, and there was no scenery at all, so Hoden was looking for clues."
What did you find?"
Issa asked.I thought I wouldn't get any response this time, but Holden's voice came from the wind, "Footprints." ”"What footprints?"
Issa asked curiously.Following Howlen's line of sight, Issa could see shallow sludge footprints left on the fire ladder, outlining an outline."
There's a lot of sludge and soot on the ground in this area, and everyone comes and goes with a lot of mud and then records their footprints."
Holden explained simply, and the part that didn't explain it was that the fire ladder was almost never over, so it was likely that the footprints left on it were ......Did the murderer enter the house from here?"
”Issa immediately got to the point.Holden didn't answer, bent down to re-enter the window, and returned to the house.Issa reasoned to himself, "The murderer came to the house from here, and then alarmed the wildcats?
Or is it that the other party has a cat with him?
Those testimonies are not right.Also, what is the allusion to the moon turning red?
Could it be that someone is performing some ritual?
Did you find any more clues?
”Issa was wondering if she should also go up to the fire ladder and walk for herself, only if she had seen it with her own eyes could she understand Howlen's reasoning.At this time, Director Zvi and Julian also came to the door of the room again, and Julian asked cautiously, "How is it, do you have eyebrows now?"
”Without waiting for Holden to speak, Director Zvi directly scolded, "Nonsense!
How can it be so fast?
Even if it is a detective, it takes time to collect more clues, how can it be possible to solve the case in thirty minutes?
Aren't you embarrassing people?
It's really rude at all. ”"Yes, yes, it was my negligence."
Julian apologized again and again, "I just think that it must be extraordinary to be able to amaze His Royal Highness the Third Prince, so I am looking forward to it, it seems that I am still too anxious."
Why don't we go back first and wait for further evidence to be collected?
”This "dialogue" that goes back and forth, and sings together, is obviously squeezing Horden, quietly venting his anger, but the means are really too rough and have no technical content.Issa couldn't help but roll her eyes."
Well, the answer has been found
