Don't think that the modern means of criminal investigation are particularly superb, and think that the previous methods of detection are particularly old-fashioned.
The development of modern criminal investigation is mainly reflected in technology, such as DNA and fingerprints.
But fundamentally speaking, criminal investigation mainly depends on the brains of the investigators.
This will not change in the past, present or future.
An Yizhi could think of going to the gem shop to ask where the gems left by the murderer came from. The police, even the guard in this replica world, are naturally very clear. Moreover, they have official identity and a large number of people, and the search is faster and faster than an Yizhi.
But this clue is not easy to catch, otherwise the murderer would have been arrested now.
There are many shops selling gemstones in the imperial capital. Clark once said that the gem business of the imperial capital has been monopolized by his gem psychedelic, which monopolizes the business of magic gemstones.
It's not bad. Anyway, all the gemstones left by the murderer are magic gemstones. Clark made it clear that there will be no magic gem material in his store.
But what he said was high-end materials, and low-end materials were not among them. For example, the fire agate mentioned in the file was a quite low-end kind of magic gemstones.
This gem may be made into rings or necklaces by ordinary jewelry stores, or it may be bought by adventurers as consumables, or enchant their equipment. Because of the large consumption, this gem is also a kind of magic consumables.
There are many shops operating these low-end gem businesses in the city, which is very difficult to investigate. In addition, due to the Midsummer Festival, a large number of tourists pour into the imperial capital. Among them, adventurers who have nothing to do and can give themselves a holiday account for the majority of tourists. It is normal to take the opportunity to buy some gems in the imperial capital.
It is also because on the Midsummer Festival, in order to cope with the public security problems caused by the surge of people, the guard is already understaffed, and then go to check a large number of shops and the floating population who have bought these gemstones
The guard said: give me a way to live.
In addition, magic gems are not contraband. They can only be regarded as managed products. In addition to reporting and presenting certificates for large-scale transportation or trading, ordinary people carry a few gems in small quantities, which won't attract attention at all. Even if they take a box of gems around the streets, it's no problem. It's a big deal to say that they come to the imperial capital to expand their gem business.
So this line doesn't have the ability to follow the steps. It takes a lot of manpower and time to get it done. Someone in the guard must be doing it, but when will the results come out
Don't expect.
At present, the only good news is that Clark said that advanced magic gem materials will not flow out of his shop, and the serial killer is a little obsessive-compulsive. After each murder, he always leaves gems consistent with the identity and status of the victim at the scene. In this way, unless the killer gets special high-end magic gem materials, Otherwise, the emperor's vote of highly qualified guys should not worry about being regarded as a target.
There is no doubt whether a serial murderer with the purpose of killing people has such paranoia. It can be said that the murderer has broken his heart as an ordinary person since he started indiscriminate killing. This paranoia can find common ground in many serial murderers.
But this is not 100% safe, because Clark also mentioned that there are black market businessmen in DIDU, and the murderer may get gemstones from them.
Different from the first visit to the magic city, at that time, an Yizhi was ordered to investigate the case. Falque not only gave a large amount of activity funds, but also transferred the devil's Guide crusade to accompany fast. Intelligence and other convenience were also open. He could do whatever he wanted, and there was no pressure to bring all the businessmen in the black market.
This time, there was no foreign aid except an Yizhi and Kara. Kara said he could transfer the urban defense army, but according to the current situation, how many people are left in the barracks of the urban defense army
Thinking about how to go next, Carla, like Haila, changed her previous image of a cold faced beauty and chattered excitedly in Ann's ear.
Seeing that the girl was easily over excited, an Yizhi didn't go to the carriage. After all, there was a monitoring spell on it.
Walking, an Yizhi suddenly saw a large noisy crowd coming along the road. It was a parade to celebrate the Midsummer Festival.
The three oversized flat cars seem to be driven by magic. They are not fast, which is almost impossible.
This is the stage of the performance.
On the flat car, bards and bands play happy songs, graceful dancers dance in gorgeous costumes, and even you can see the picture of domesticated beasts and trainers performing in the same cage.
At the end of the motorcade, a guy dressed as a clown spread candy to the crowd and shouted:
"Long live your majesty! Long live midsummer!"
The crowd also shouted together. It sounded really happy.
An Yizhi stood in place and watched the parade slowly pass. He was a little curious. After all, he had never seen such a parade float with his own eyes in reality.
I was a little interested in seeing an Yizhi. Carla said:
"These performers are recruited from all over the country and divided into several teams. They will perform in the city all day."
"No rest?"
"Of course, we have to rest. When the parade reaches a place with few people, it will stop and change shifts. There are several groups of performers waiting to perform. This is a good opportunity to become famous."
If you have nothing to do, it's a good choice to follow the team to see the performance. An Yizhi can understand the audience who go to the scene to see the performance. This atmosphere can't be experienced by watching TV at home anyway.
Unfortunately, he obviously doesn't have such leisure.
"By the way, I remember you are not a student of the military academy? Midsummer holiday?"
Quandang chatted, and an asked casually.
"I dropped out."
Carla said:
"The last year mainly focuses on confrontation training and examination. The school will not teach more knowledge. When they graduate at the age of 17, they will return home to join the army. Ordinary noble foreign students will choose to drop out of school in the last year and directly return home to use their family contacts to enter the army."
"Then how can you honestly stay in the imperial capital?"
This sentence seemed to poke Carla's pain. Her face sank and said:
"Because of the interference of my eldest brother and sister, if I want to join the army, I can only start from the most grass-roots officers, not from the staff headquarters. My father has been busy with the war at the border recently and has no air control over me, so I can only stay in the Imperial capital temporarily."
Sure enough, every family has a difficult Sutra. In the eyes of these nobles, whether brothers and sisters or biological parents, as long as they become their own way, they are immortal enemies.
Kara's eldest brother and sister planned to use the pretext that the border war was too tight to play Kara. Kara, who could not join the army and could only wander around at home, could not make any achievements. Finally, she had to get married.
Her father, Duke Westford, could see the contest between the children, but he did not stop it. After all, he was a pragmatist. Since he lost the contest for inheritance, he would not arouse any sympathy from him.
"You said you had a little brother? Isn't it good for you to unite?"
"My brother..."
Carla hesitated for a moment, as if considering her words.
"He's only eight now."
"Too young?"
"No, it's too dangerous."
What's the danger of an eight or nine year old?
"He's not like a child. Although we don't have much contact, I feel like I'm in the back with him."
An pointed and shrugged, indicating that your noble family is really chaotic. He didn't intend to study it deeply. Anyway, he just chatted and asked casually.
"Continue to get down to business. Do you have any other clues in addition to the information of those cases?"
Maybe Ann once asked such a reliable question. Carla obviously didn't turn around.
"All I know is... Wait."
With that, she lit up the white light of communication in her ear, turned her head, muttered a few words, turned back and said:
"There's a new clue. The guard found a new victim."
Sure enough, the undead don't give clues.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
Carla's carriage was always behind them. When she got the news, she took it to the scene of the crime.
It is a three storey residential building. It seems that there are many residents, just like a large apartment.
The location of the crime was a family on the first floor near the stairway.
An Yi pointed out that the scene had been blocked by the guard when they arrived, but in order not to cause public panic, they only blocked the room at the crime scene, not the whole residential building.
As soon as she got to the place, Carla couldn't wait to rush out of the carriage and find the person in charge standing at the entrance of the stairs to ask about the situation.
"There were two dead people. They were a couple. The man was a teacher and the woman was a housewife. The first discoverer was there."
Carla looked down at the head of the guard's fingers, but she saw only two teenagers aged 11 or 12.
"They were students who came to the teacher's house for tutoring. According to them, they arrived here at the agreed time. After knocking on the door for a long time, no one responded. They climbed up the window and saw the victim through the curtains, so they asked the guard patrolling nearby for help."
Carla nodded, said hello and went to ask the two children the details of what had happened.
An Yizhi didn't have the consciousness of the bodyguard. He directly crossed the blockade of the guard and Shi ran entered the crime scene.
Anyway, there are blue waistcoats around (the uniform of the guard). Don't worry about Carla's danger. Instead of listening to their nonsense, Ann pointed to her own eyes.
The guard also saw that an Yizhi came with Carla. The latter was the daughter of the four dukes. It was a fox pretending to be a tiger. An Yizhi entered the crime scene and no one dared to stop him.
A yellow cloth blockade was pulled up at the door. An Yizhi raised his feet and stepped over. He saw a new impact trace on the wooden door. At the same time, the lock was locked. It was estimated that it was caused when the guard knocked open the door.
In other words, the prisoner may not have invaded through the front door, or he may have locked it outside with a key after he left?
Continue to go forward, after a narrow entrance, an Yizhi asked, a strong smell of blood
