At Renekton Vanilla Orphanage, a female caregiver led Victor slowly along the sunny corridor. She greeted the children passing by and explained some of the conditions of the orphanage to Victor.
"This orphanage has been established for almost 20 years. At first, most of the children adopted were immigrant children. You know, the world is always very demanding on poor families, so that they give up the precious things they get by chance."
baby'."
Victor followed silently all the way. He came to this orphanage to investigate the whereabouts of the child sent by Dallion.
Although Dallion confirmed that the child later died, Victor still needs to find definite clues.
The female caregiver beside him remembered Dallion's name and led Victor to the cemetery behind the yard, where she showed him the child's tombstone.
"Although some time has passed, I remember that the child was very healthy when he was first delivered. We really don't understand why the carpenter entrusted him to us...even if the child is not his son."
While talking, the female nurse placed a white flower in front of the tombstone with a sad expression.
Victor stared at the small tombstone for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Mr. Detective, is there anything else we can do for you?" the female nurse asked, staring at the ten-star badge on Victor's chest.
Victor shook his head slightly, turned around and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he asked about the working hours of the orphanage and said he would come back at a later time.
…
The sun had already set when he returned to the city. Victor arrived at the Smart Eye Detective Agency full of worries, only to find that the door of the agency was unlocked. De Gaulle was sitting on the sofa, smoking cigarettes and reading piles of newspapers.
.
"I know you will come back, Watson." Seeing Victor coming, de Gaulle raised his head and stared at him, "So do you want to explain why you left without saying goodbye?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor returned the puppet toy, and then blurted out the prepared lie: "I know a craftsman who makes toys, and I have seen similar ones in his shop, so I took it to him to confirm.
.”
"Huh? Then why didn't you tell me and we could act together." De Gaulle frowned.
"The craftsman is in debt and the shop has been closed. He will not open the door to a stranger. If we go there together, we will definitely be rejected." Victor shrugged helplessly.
De Gaulle glanced at Victor a few times, and after discovering sawdust on his clothes, his suspicion weakened a bit.
He turned his attention back and continued to read the newspaper in his hand.
"So you got a clue?"
"No, he didn't do this..."
Victor did not want to tell De Gaulle everything about Darien because he was afraid that the other party would follow this clue and investigate him.
After all, the dead baby under the hanging door of the stone bridge at the entrance of the city was published in the newspaper, and he was at the scene at the time.
"Really...what a pity..."
De Gaulle looked very worried, which made Victor feel strange.
"Did something happen?"
After hearing Victor's inquiry, De Gaulle sighed and told him that he went to the police station and happened to meet Gina to surrender.
Upon hearing this, Victor was immediately shocked.
"What? Gina Langster turned herself in?"
"Yes, and with the cooperation of Mr. Dutch, I successfully interrogated and found out the whole story."
Next, de Gaulle told Victor the other party's complete confession.
Gina is the holder of the "Waiter" secret transmission, and can rely on "parasitic" superiors to gain their power and luck.
Therefore, she chose to enter a monastery and become a nun. She hooked up with an aristocratic man through distance and became pregnant with his child.
However, the noble's family fortune had long been ruined, and Gina was unable to gain "power" from him. Therefore, after giving birth to her child, she faced a difficult situation. Not only was she kicked out of the monastery, but she also had to find a way to support her.
baby.
So, she scouted out the rich people who were playing in the mountain park, targeted the Berkeley family, and took advantage of them to steal the stroller. Unexpectedly, an accident happened and killed their child.
But Gina simply refused to do anything and sent herself into the Berkeley family through the introduction of Moon Home, using puppets and toys to seduce the grief-stricken Mrs. Shasa.
After the other party believed in this fabricated "invisible art" lie, he replaced his own child with the purpose of using the Berkeley family to support his children.
Gina herself can not only take care of her children, but also steal the Berkeley family's wealth.
Francis from Moon Home later became her partner, and the two of them were involved in some unethical transactions, so Gina would not let herself be exposed.
Tom pretended to be a policeman and found out about Moon Home. Frances was scared and slipped away while Tom was searching for information, and informed Gina, who lived not far away, about the incident.
Gina suggested cooperating with Francis to deal with Tom. Francis was too timid and ran away instead of working together, so Gina had no choice but to do it herself.
She did not go through the front door because the sound of opening the door would alert the people in the house, so she chose to climb in from the outside, sneak attack on Tom while he was not prepared, and slit his throat to death...
After telling all this, de Gaulle raised his head and stared at Victor, his expression a little unreadable.
"It's a complete story, isn't it? What do you think?"
Victor frowned and replied calmly: "Let me think about it carefully first, or let me tell you your opinion, Mr. Shaklo."
De Gaulle shook his head: "I'm not very clear. Gina's motives and methods are consistent with what we have investigated. They are purposeful, have invisible skills, and have reasons..."
"But... I still have questions. Based on her confession, it can be inferred that this nun is a skilled killer. Not only can she climb up the second-floor window with her bare hands, but she can also face us unexpectedly without being surprised."
"Such a woman is cold-blooded and ruthless, and will never give up to achieve her goals. She is not like a person who is overflowing with maternal love. Let's not say whether the child is hers or not. If possible, she can throw away her biological child, and then
Enter the Berkeley family openly as a maid."
"It's all about money anyway. As long as Shasa's child is not killed, Dutch will not hire anyone to investigate. Wouldn't she be better able to steal the Berkeley family's luck?"
After hearing this, Victor remained silent, but in his heart, he gradually came up with his own ideas.
De Gaulle continued to express his inner doubts: "The last thing is, why did she surrender? You know, even if there is no death penalty in the laws of Minx State, there are countless ways to kill her with Daqi's ability. Why would this woman give up?"
She chose to surrender out of hope? What is she relying on?"
Victor stared at the puppet toy and suddenly changed the subject: "What is Mr. Dutch's attitude? Does he think Gina is the real murderer?"
De Gaulle took a long puff of cigarette, blew out the smoke ring and said: "That money... He has already sent someone to deliver it, a full 1,000 faraka, an honest and trustworthy entrustment..."
Now that the money has been obtained, it proves that the employer recognizes de Gaulle's work, and the job can be ended.
However, can things really end simply now?
Other detectives might have taken the money and stopped, but de Gaulle would not. His eyes still sparkled with the fanatical flame of pursuing the truth.
"Vladimir, this matter is not over yet. There is still a key person who has not appeared. I must find him. Yes, it is Mr. Francis!"
