"It seems that we have all been tricked, Watson..."
De Gaulle finally couldn't hold himself any longer and kept beating his chest and feet.
"I just let the murderer go with my own hands! Stupid, so stupid... Come on, come on! Come and punch me to wake me up."
Victor ignored De Gaulle's frustration and carefully recalled the process of his arrival in this company.
As soon as they entered the door, they bumped into the female assistant. They didn't know that a murder had taken place upstairs. The other person was very cunning and disguised herself as an employee of the company, claiming that the boss and Tom were upstairs, so she lied.
Passed them both.
Considering the urine of this era, almost no women will serve as the head of a company. They are still fighting for the right to vote. Therefore, the moment De Gaulle discovered the body, he pointed his suspicion at the company that was originally in the office.
principal.
Before he noticed the flaw on the window sill, he asked the woman to report the crime first, which gave her a chance to escape.
If the woman had shown any intention of leaving early, De Gaulle would definitely have discovered the problem.
It can only be said that the murderer was too cunning and calm. Until she went upstairs, she was still "doing her best" as an employee.
"Are you going to chase him?" Victor asked de Gaulle.
This guy wiped away the frustration on his face and continued to pace around the room calmly.
"Don't be anxious. If you run out now, you probably won't be able to catch up."
As he spoke, his eyes shifted from the corpse to the rows of information racks behind him.
"Well...I see, Watson, although we missed the best chance to catch the murderer, we did not lose everything. Sometimes unnecessary actions can become the biggest flaw."
After saying that, he raised his chin towards Tom's body.
"Do you see what's wrong?"
Victor stared at the dead detective, silent.
De Gaulle didn't wait for him to think, and took the time to explain: "Looking at his movements, do you think it's weird?"
"Of course... his fallen body should have been moved by someone. There are traces of blood dragging on the ground, but the movement was not big. It just changed his posture." Victor elaborated on his analysis.
De Gaulle snapped his fingers and pointed at him: "This is just an appearance. Tom's fatal injury was that his throat was cut. Think about it, how would you react if you were attacked from behind and had your neck cut?"
Victor simulated it in his mind and immediately replied: "First I will definitely cover my neck and try to stop the bleeding, and then I will look back to see who is trying to kill me."
"Yes! You are right, Tom should have tightly covered his bleeding neck, but look at his hands, one is beside his head and the other is pressed under his waist."
"And look at the hand next to his head. His cuffs are stained with a lot of blood, but his palm is relatively clean... At least when he is covering his neck, it won't be stained with just such a shallow amount of blood...
"
De Gaulle's inference still made some sense, but Victor didn't know what he was going to say yet.
"so what?"
"So, I think that de Gaulle must have been holding something in his hand at the time, and when his throat was slit, he subconsciously covered his neck, and the blood that spattered was covered by the thing he was holding.
Most of it has been absorbed... So, dear Vladimir, what do you think it will be?"
Hearing this, Victor glanced at the information on the ground at his feet, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"It's paper..."
"That's right! It's still the original file saved by this company!"
De Gaulle slammed his fist on his palm and said through gritted teeth: "Fate is always playing tricks on us. The information that Tom was looking at at that time must have very key clues in it. That's why the murderer will tell the truth after killing him."
The original document in his hand was taken away, and he was adjusted into a death posture..."
"Then the murderer came to destroy the evidence. He happened to meet Tom and had to kill him. Then he found that the things Tom was looking at before he died were the things he wanted to destroy, so he moved his body." Victor added, "
Then the information and the murderer must have been stained with a lot of blood, so why was there no blood on the female assistant just now?"
Just when Victor had doubts, he suddenly remembered that the female assistant was wearing a jacket that looked like a men's style.
"I see... before leaving, I took away the clothes of the person in charge that were originally left in the office..."
He had something in mind and deliberately opened all the cabinets in sight, and sure enough he found a bloody women's jacket inside.
"Okay! Then another question comes, where is the person in charge of this company? If he was not in the company originally, how did Tom get in?"
De Gaulle didn't know what the problem was. He was inclined to think that the person in charge of the company and the female assistant were in the same group.
Because of this, the two were able to cooperate in murdering Tom.
"Just imagine, the truth may be like this. Tom disguised himself as a policeman and came to investigate the information. The boss of the housekeeping company was afraid that he would find something, so he sneaked away secretly, but told the woman the situation, and the woman came directly to
Tom was killed."
"Well...yes, you want to ask me why I don't suspect that the woman is the boss of this company? Wake up, no woman will risk professional discrimination to work as an agency, and you can also look at the photos on the table.
Here we are, it should be this guy named Francis."
De Gaulle was joking while analyzing, but Victor reminded him that the evidence was probably taken away or destroyed by the murderer, and their clues would most likely be interrupted here.
But de Gaulle once again disagreed with this statement.
"Look at the mess of papers on the floor, Watson, don't you think it's strange?"
Victor was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Don't you mean to say that the murderer didn't take away the information, but mixed them into the files all over the floor?"

De Gaulle snapped his fingers.
"Although Tom's abilities are limited and his work is unreliable, he is not a lunatic. There is no need to rummage through a file and make other people's offices such a mess."
"I think these were all done by the murderer. She didn't take away the information. She was probably afraid that the police would check carefully and find the missing ones, so naturally she would not incriminate herself."
"In fact, this is possible. Do you remember the information we have? Yes, the recommendation letters of the maids hired by the Berkeley family. As long as we take the time to compare them one by one, the original information taken by the murderer will be exposed immediately.
Come out, then it will be clear who the murderer is."
According to de Gaulle's analysis, Victor remembered that the Berkeley family hired almost seven servants through this company, two men and five women, but they were not hired at the same time. There was an interval of three or four years, and some of them no longer work for the Berkeley family.
.
De Gaulle continued: "The best way is actually to destroy all the original materials related to Berkeley. This will confuse our sight and make it impossible for us to determine who is the problem."
one."
"But it's obvious that in a short period of time, the murderer can't find all the original records of those people from so much information, and he doesn't dare to burn the whole place with a fire. After all, it's in an urban area. Such a move would make too much noise.
Not being able to escape from the scene was a problem... So she made a crazy decision, which was to turn over the files in the entire office, stain them all with Tom's blood, and then mix in her own original data and scatter them on the ground.
"
After listening to de Gaulle's explanation, Victor once again thought about the woman who was calm and calm, and thought that the other party was too cunning.
De Gaulle finally shook his head: "Hey! It seems that we have to rummage through this pile of files. Maybe we can find some clues..."
At this moment, Victor thought of an idea.
"If it is as you expected, it will not be difficult to find the original files that were mixed into the pile of paper."
