A few hours before dawn, in the Smart Eye Detective Agency, a nervous Pippin told de Gaulle and Victor the name of the mysterious nun.
"Her name is Gina Langster. I don't know if you have heard of this name."
Gina Langster?
De Gaulle pinched his chin to recall, and soon remembered that this was one of the two maids.
Victor also remembered the name very clearly, but like de Gaulle, he did not show any unusual surprise even if he knew it.
Anyway, it was a choice between two, and Pippen's appearance was considered to have opened up the last link of their investigation.
"Oh...then what?" De Gaulle looked at Pippen with a slight smile.
Pippen coughed slightly and then said: "Tom separated from me. It wasn't until he died that I figured out what he was doing. As for me... I focused on that child. Since that kid
Na was already at the crime scene with her child, so where did this child come from?"
"Mr. Dutch didn't get any information from the missing persons or the orphanage at that time, and because of Gina's past status as a nun, I wondered if the child might have been born in a convent?"
"So I guessed that the baby was probably Gina's child. She violated the rules of the Bright Light Realm and committed adultery with a man without authorization and gave birth to a child."
"As a mother, she must have wanted her child to live a prosperous life, so she planned to send him to the Berkeley family."
"Yes, think about it carefully. If she leaves the church, can she support her children on her own?"
"As for later sneaking into the Berkeley family to work as a maid, I'm afraid it was also to take care of my children at a close distance. This motive is very convincing to me. What about you?"
Pippen's analysis was clear and logical. Although it was a guess, it made de Gaulle think a little.
"Well... it seems that you have gained a lot recently, but why did Tom die? Will the boss of Moon Home be charged with murder because of a nun?"
Regarding the Moon Home owner's involvement in Tom's murder, Pippin had already learned about it through the police station.
Although he didn't know who Mr. Francis was in that company, with his own judgment and investigation, Pippen could easily clarify the logic.
"Xia Keluo, your reaction has become slow. This is a very simple reason. Gina Lanster will violate the church and have an illegitimate child, so she is essentially a loose woman, and the most powerful weapon of a loose woman is
It’s just about the body, it’s hard for ordinary men to resist the temptation of beauty..."
Hearing this, Victor couldn't help but laugh softly.
He thought to himself: Although ordinary men are indeed easily seduced by beauty, since they have been involved in a murder case, not many will be willing to take a shot at a woman who has had sex with him a few times.
Pippen's conjecture is not feasible.
"What the truth is, we have to catch the woman to find out. But your appearance has saved us a lot of trouble. After all, we don't need to go to Ms. Uma for confirmation anymore, don't you think so, Watson?"
Victor was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at the puppet on the table.
"Then what do you want to do next? Continue to investigate with us?" De Gaulle leaned against the cabinet and stretched out his hand towards Pippen. "Although we have differences, since you are willing to share the results of the investigation, you must be ready to cooperate.
Already."
"..."
Pippen was silent after hearing this, as if he was pondering the pros and cons in his mind.
Finally, he shook his head.
"No... Actually, the reason why I came to you is that I have decided to withdraw from this commission. I am no longer prepared to deal with the Berkeley family's affairs."
"Oh?" Victor was curious and asked, "Then you can leave directly, why do you come back to us?"
"Because..." Pippin's face turned red and he showed an obvious expression of embarrassment, "Because I'm afraid of being killed by the murderer! Tom is already dead. If I continue to investigate, I might die too!"
"Hey! Who was so confident in stating his inference just now?" De Gaulle couldn't help but joke, "If Gina and Frances are the culprits, we can avenge Tom by catching these men and women, and you can at least get some
I received part of the reward, so what are you afraid of?"
Pippin's face turned even more ugly. He hesitated for a long time, and finally opened the door and left without saying a word. Before leaving, he left the watchmaker's address for de Gaulle to check on his own.
Victor glanced at De Gaulle and made it clear: "Pippin is not confident in his reasoning. He wants us to be the first."
"Of course I'm not confident. If it were me, I would be excited and proud when I was fully... no, more than 70% sure. I would definitely not be willing to share my findings with them. From the moment he opened his mouth and told us everything.
, I suspect this guy is giving up."
De Gaulle winked at Victor, who then joked: "So you took the initiative to invite him to join us?"
"If he refuses, he will definitely leave immediately. This is exactly what I want. Since he is not willing to get involved anymore, there is no need for us to waste time." After speaking, De Gaulle stretched and glanced at the wall.
The hanging pendulum said, "There are still a few hours until dawn. Let's take the time to get some sleep and work hard tomorrow morning..."
As soon as he finished speaking, de Gaulle yawned and fell into his messy bed.
…
Then snoring started everywhere. When he woke up and went to tidy up in front of the mirror, he found that the sofa was empty and "Watson" was missing.
The puppet on the table also disappeared.
De Gaulle was stunned for a moment and kept thinking in his mind. After observing the scene, he came to a conclusion - the other party should have left less than two hours after he fell asleep. What on earth was he doing? Why did he take away the puppet toys?
?
As keen as he was, he couldn't figure out what "Watson" wanted to do, so he could only simply wash himself, and then go out alone and rush to the police station.
…
In fact, the reason why Victor left without saying goodbye was to take the toy to find Dallion. He had to confirm whether this thing had anything to do with the carpenter.
As for De Gaulle, Victor has already thought of his words. Anyway, there is a high probability that he will only accompany De Gaulle on such a case. If the other party doesn't believe it, just pull him down! Just disappear by himself.
Shortly after dawn, Victor took a carriage and arrived at Dalyan's shop.
The place was still closed for business. Victor knocked on the door, and immediately there was a burst of rummaging through boxes and hysterical roars.
It's like a savage lives in this house now.
Victor's expression suddenly became solemn. When he saw that the door was still not open, he stretched out his hand to make a calculation and got an unclear hexagram of "Lian".
So, he immediately took out his pistol, broke the door lock, and entered the house with great vigilance.
He tied the doll around his waist with a belt, raised the gun in one hand, and touched a fire spell drawn in blood with the other hand, and went deep into the corridor of Dallion's house with great concentration.
It was very dark in the house with no lights on. Fortunately it was not night, otherwise I would not have been able to see anything clearly.
Some kind of slight moaning sound came from the direction of the carpentry workshop, like crying or crazy murmuring...
