Feilin was shocked, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Then his face turned livid and he asked.
"What did the other party do to steal the teacher's body? Do you know who did it?"
Ray Romano was a person he respected and had given him great help. Now that the teacher's body was stolen, he was completely angry.
"I don't know. I have called the police. These police officers are here to investigate this matter."
Qiao Xi said with a very ugly face.
His father's sudden death already made him very uncomfortable, and now that his father's body was stolen, he became even more sad.
"Sir, may I ask your name and what is your relationship with Mr. Ray Romano?"
Upon seeing Felin arriving, a female police officer in her twenties with brown hair came up and questioned Felin.
"I am Felin Sox, and I am his student."
Feline replied.
"Did Mr. Ray Romano have any enemies with anyone during his lifetime, especially in recent times?"
The female police officer continued to ask.
"Do the police suspect that the person who stole the teacher's body is someone who has a grudge against the teacher?"
Felin was keenly aware of the hidden meaning in the female police officer's words and couldn't help but ask.
"The case is still in the investigation stage. It is not convenient to disclose the details. Please answer the questions."
The female police officer said seriously.
"Feel sorry."
Felin apologized, recalled it for a moment, and then replied.
"Since I started working, I have had less contact with teachers, but as far as I know, teachers have good relationships with the people around them, and there are no grudges."
"Did you attend yesterday's funeral? Did you notice anything unusual?"
The female police officer continued to ask.
"I attended yesterday's funeral, and I didn't find anything unusual at the funeral."
Felin shook his head.
The female police officer did not ask any more questions and left soon after with several other police officers.
Apparently they were looking for clues to detect the body theft.
However, judging from the inquiries just now, it seems that they did not get any useful information.
After such a thing happened, Felin did not rush back to the Felin Laboratory. He looked at Qiao Xi and suggested.
"Mr. Josie, while letting the police investigate, I suggest hiring detectives to investigate. They are more efficient than police officers."
Most of the people who can serve as detectives are quite capable.
If they don't have the ability, they won't be able to make a living in this profession.
After all, police officers do not need to be paid, but they do need to be paid, and the pay is often not low.
Qiao Xi thought about it, agreed with Felin's suggestion, and asked.
"Mr. Flynn, do you know any detectives who are good at this?"
"I don't know anyone, but I heard that a detective named Caffey Colon is very good at this type of disappearance. If you don't have a better candidate, I suggest hiring this detective."
Flynn said.
Soon after, Felin and Qiao Xi got into a taxi. After driving for half an hour, the taxi stopped in front of a detective agency.
Bang, bang, bang!
After knocking on the door, the two opened the door and entered the detective office.
There are desks, sofas, coffee tables and other items inside the detective station. The room is not big, but the layout is exquisite.
At this time, a man was sitting in front of the desk.
The man is in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a white shirt and a black vest.
Because of the cold weather, I wore a gray coat outside.
"Please take a seat."
The man asked Felin and Qiao Xi to sit down on the sofa.
He did not rush to ask the two of them why they were here. Instead, he poured a cup of black tea for each of them, then sat on the sofa opposite them and asked.
"Both of you, I'm Detective Caffey Colon. What's the reason for your visit?"
"Mr. Colon, this is Josie Romano. Just last night, my father's grave was dug up and the body was stolen. I would like to entrust Mr. Colon to investigate."
Josie explained her purpose.
"Has the body been stolen? Mr. Romano, I am happy to accept the commission, but before that I must remind you that my commission fee is very high, up to fifty gold pounds."
Caffey said.
"No problem, as long as you can find my father's body."
Josh Romano didn't bargain and agreed.
Maybe after bargaining, the commission fee can be reduced, but right now, he is not in that mood at all.
"Very well, sir, I accept your commission."
Caffey stretched out his hand and shook it with Josie.
…
At the cemetery outside the city, Felin, Qiao Xi and Kafei arrived here.
Felin chose to follow.
Ray Romano was his teacher, a person he respected and had helped him tremendously, so he chose to help.
After all, if a body is found, manpower will be needed whether it is to capture the body thief or to transport the body back.
And he also wanted to know who stole the teacher's body and why the other party stole the teacher's body.
The three of them walked in the cemetery towards Ray Romano's grave.
There are still crows on the branches that have lost all their leaves. I wonder if they are the crows from yesterday.
The crow stared at the three people who arrived, and its bloody eyes seemed to move with the movement of the three people.
Except for the three of them, there was no one else in the entire cemetery. In addition, the sky was always dark with clouds, and the atmosphere was inexplicably scary.
"asshole!"
When he saw the dug grave, Qiao Xi's face was livid, his fists were clenched, and he was suppressing his anger.
Felin's face was also very ugly.
Ray Romano was a person he respected, but after his death, his body was disturbed and could not be left in peace, which made him very angry.
"Mr. Colon, please, please find my father's body for me."
Suppressing his anger, Qiao Xi looked at Kafei and asked.
"Don't worry, this is my job."
Kafei nodded and began to enter work mode.
He first looked carefully at the dug tomb, then walked around the tomb and looked around.
Although the fee was high, he was indeed a capable person, and soon he made a discovery.
"Please come here!"
He greeted Felin and Qiaoxi, and Felin and Qiaoxi walked over.
"The footprints are very new and haven't been there for a long time. I suspect they are the footprints left by tomb robbers."
Kafei pointed to a footprint on the ground and said.
"Could it be left by someone who came to the cemetery to sweep the grave?"
Felin looked at the footprints and asked doubtfully.
It was just a footprint. He didn't understand why Kafei believed that the footprint was left by a tomb robber.
"There are lush weeds in this direction and the road is difficult to walk. If you are a grave sweeper, you will not leave the cemetery from this direction."
"In addition, the footprints should not have been left for a long time. Although I am not sure, there is a high possibility that they were left by tomb robbers."
Caffey explained.
"I see."
After listening to Kafei's explanation, both Felin and Qiao Xi were stunned and couldn't help but look forward to Kafei's abilities.
Taking this footprint as a clue, Kafei began to follow it.
Because there has been no rain in recent days, the footprints are not consistent and cannot be traced all the way through the footprints.
But Kafei was very resourceful and tracked him all the way.
Sometimes, he used trampled weeds as clues.
Sometimes, he used trampled dead branches as tracking clues.
Sometimes, he used broken spider webs as tracking clues.
…
It was an eye-opener for Felin and Qiao Xi. In their eyes, extremely ordinary things could often become clues for Caffey to track.
With the two of them, Kafi left the cemetery from the side, entered the forest near the cemetery, and walked in the forest.
After walking for about an hour, an animal carcass appeared in front of them, and the three of them stepped forward to check it out.
It was an animal carcass with gray hair, about four feet long, and a pool of dried blood underneath.
"Why is there a dead dog here?"
Josie said in surprise.
"No, this is not the body of a dog, but the body of a wolf."
Kafei shook his head and said.
"Dogs tend to have droopy ears, but this corpse's ears were vertical."
"Moreover, compared to a dog, its snout is longer and more pointed, and its mouth is wider. These are the characteristics of a wolf."
"He just happened to appear in front of us. Could it be that he was killed by a tomb robber?"
Felin asked.
Kafei did not answer immediately, but squatted down and looked at the wolf's body and its surroundings.
On the neck of the wolf, there was a hideous wound with exposed flesh and blood. A large piece of flesh was missing. This should be the fatal wound of the wolf.
And all around, there were messy signs of tumbling on the ground.
He made a judgment and said.
"It should not have been killed by a tomb robber, unless the tomb robber liked to fight like a wild beast and had the habit of eating raw flesh and blood."
The three of them continued to move forward. By this time, the sky was already darkening, and it would be dark soon.
"Gugu, gugu, gugu..."
In the forest, unknown birds chirped low.
In the already darkening sky, it felt inexplicably scary.
The surrounding dense trees swayed from time to time under the blowing of the evening wind, as if there was something in them.
Felin felt a little hairy for no reason and couldn't help but move closer to Qiao Xi and Kafei.
And Qiao Xi also seemed a little uneasy. He looked around and said to Kafei.
"Mr. Colon, it's getting dark soon. How about we return to the city today and investigate again tomorrow?"
"Mr. Romano, you are the employer. If this is your decision, I will comply with it, but I want to remind you that the longer time passes, the smaller the chance of recovery will be."
Kafei stopped and said to Qiao Xi.
"Then... let's continue."
Qiao Xi gritted his teeth. Although he felt uneasy, he still made the decision to continue the investigation.
"Um."
Kafei nodded.
He seemed to have anticipated the current situation.
I saw him taking out a bamboo tube from his gray coat, and after opening it, it turned into a torch.
Lit it with a match, and the orange light lit up in the woods.
Kafei held a torch in front, and the three of them continued to search.
The light from the torches shone on the surrounding trees, casting exaggerated and elongated black shadows.
Feilin walked at the end, looking at the dark shadows formed by the light of the torch. Not only did he not relax, but he became even more hairy.
As the torch moves, the dark shadow changes, as if it comes alive.
He couldn't help but worry whether there would be a devil hiding among these shadows and jumping out at any time.
"who……?"
Kafei, who was walking at the front, suddenly let out a low drink. Felin quickly looked away from the shadows around him and looked forward.
All they could see in front of them was a person with his back to them.
The man lowered his head and seemed to be eating something.
Seeing this man's back, he felt inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen a similar back somewhere.
He could not see that Qiao Xi, who was in front of him at this time, seemed to have seen an extremely strange scene, and his face was already pale.
Felin didn't recognize him, but Josie recognized him at a glance. The back of this man was very similar to his father, almost exactly the same.
Moreover, the clothes this man was wearing were the same as the clothes his father wore when he was buried.
