Chapter 718 Neighbor's Death



The streets were eerily quiet as Fein walked towards the yellow tape surrounding the perimeter of the crime scene. A sense of dread filled him as he approached the police officers, their grim expressions hinting at the tragedy that had befallen the neighborhood. The air was thick with the smell of death and decay, and Fein couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness for the victims and their families.

Fein's curiosity got the best of him, and he started to walk around the area, examining everything in sight. As he looked around, he noticed that the houses looked abandoned, and the windows were boarded up, giving the street a rundown appearance. There was a chill in the air, and the trees in the area rustled with an eerie whisper.

Suddenly, Fein's attention was caught by a group of bystanders gathered near a corner of the street. He could hear them discussing the incident and the possible reasons behind it. Fein walked towards them, his eyes scanning the area for clues.

One of the onlookers noticed Fein's inquisitive expression and asked, "Do you know what happened here?"

Fein nodded and began to explain his deduction process. "Based on the condition of the houses and the boarded-up windows, it's clear that this neighborhood has been abandoned for some time. I believe that the perpetrator knew this and took advantage of it to commit the crime."

The onlookers were impressed by Fein's deduction skills and asked him to elaborate further.

Fein continued, "The condition of the houses also indicates that there were no recent residents. So, I would rule out any grudges or personal motives. It's more likely that the motive behind the crime was financial gain."

Fein looked around the area again and noticed that there were no signs of forced entry. "There were no signs of a break-in, so I would assume that the perpetrator had access to the neighborhood."

One of the police officers overheard Fein's deductions and approached him. "Impressive," he said, "but we still need to investigate further."

Fein nodded in agreement, and the police officer walked away to continue his investigation.

The sun was beginning to set as Fein walked away from the crime scene. The quiet street was a stark contrast to the turmoil that had occurred there. Fein couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as he walked away, wondering what other mysteries lay hidden in the shadows of the abandoned neighborhood.

The ringing of Fein's phone pulled him out of his deep thought. He glanced at the caller ID and saw that it was an unknown number. Curiosity getting the better of him, he answered the call.

"Hello, this is Fein speaking," he said, trying to sound professional.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Fein. This is Officer Johnson from the local police department. We're investigating a case here in the neighborhood, and we've hit a wall. I've heard from some of the neighbors that you're quite skilled in the science of deduction, and I was hoping you could help us out."

Fein's eyes lit up with excitement. Finally, he could put his skills to use in a real-life scenario. "Of course, Officer Johnson. I would be happy to assist you with your investigation," he replied eagerly.

"Great, thank you. I'll send a patrol car to pick you up in ten minutes," the officer said before hanging up.

Fein quickly grabbed his coat and headed outside. He could feel his heart racing with anticipation. As he waited for the patrol car to arrive, he surveyed his surroundings, trying to pick up any clues that might help in the investigation.

When the car finally arrived, Fein got in and was driven to the crime scene. As he stepped out of the car, he observed the area with sharp eyes. The scene was chaotic, with police officers and bystanders milling about. Fein could feel the tension in the air as everyone tried to make sense of what had happened.

Officer Johnson greeted Fein and introduced him to the other officers on the scene. Fein then asked to be taken to the location where the crime had taken place. As he walked through the area, he carefully observed every detail, trying to piece together the events that had led up to the crime.

Fein then started to ask questions to the neighbors and the police officers. With each response, he made a mental note, carefully analyzing every piece of information that he had gathered. He then proceeded to apply the process of elimination, crossing out any possibilities that did not make sense or did not fit the evidence.

As he continued to work, Fein's eloquence and confidence impressed the officers and bystanders around him. They watched in awe as he pieced together the clues and made connections that they had missed.

Finally, after hours of investigation, Fein had solved the case. He presented his findings to Officer Johnson.

Fein frowned, deep in thought. "Well, for starters, there's no sign of forced entry. The door and windows are all intact, and there are no marks or scratches on them. That means whoever did this either had a key or knew the code to the security system."

The officer nodded slowly. "Okay, but we already checked the security footage. There was no one else in or out of the house around the time of the incident."

"Right," Fein said, rubbing his chin. "So that means whoever did this either had already been in the house, or they found another way to get in that we don't know about yet."

He turned his attention to the surrounding houses, his eyes scanning the windows and doors. "Now, let's look at the neighbors. Did anyone hear or see anything suspicious?"

The officer shook his head. "No, we've talked to everyone on this block. No one saw or heard anything out of the ordinary."

Fein's eyes narrowed as he looked back at the boarded-up house. "That's interesting. If the perpetrator had a key or code to the security system, then it's possible they could have been living in this house for some time."
