The noise in the hotel was still there. Adolf sat at the counter, ordered a simple meal, and was chewing when Kino's excited shouts came from next to him.
Looks like this guy made another big fortune at the poker table.
Most of the men in the town, except those who were working on the railway outside, gathered here. Although there were many people, Adolf had already done enough inquiring.
He was about to leave Valdin after finishing his meal, but at this moment, three or four men wearing cowboy hats and bell-bottom pants entered the hotel.
Adolf pinched the portrait in his coat pocket again and prepared to go over and ask.
But as soon as he left the stool, he suddenly became alert.
After the four people entered the hotel, they sat separately at the seats by the door and the table by the window.
They obviously came in together, why do they have to sit separately?
Withdrawing his hand, Adolf lowered the brim of his hat, avoiding the eyes of those people looking at the interior of the hotel, and approached Kino who was still playing cards with his back on his back.
"Black Jack! I'm sorry, everyone, I, an outsider, want to win..."
Just as Chino was about to collect the money, he was slapped in the back by the man behind him.
"time to go……"
Adolf's voice came, and Kino subconsciously prepared to ask, but suddenly saw his serious expression.
"Put these away and leave..." Kino replied softly.
Adolf grabbed his hand: "There's no time..."
As his voice fell, the four people who had just entered immediately saw the situation at the gaming table, and their attention was attracted.
Adolf grabbed Kino's arm, pulled him out of the crowd, and went straight to the stairs.
"Stop! Renekton Inspection Bureau!"
One of the four men took out a pistol, and just as he took aim, he saw two people running up to the second floor.
They all chased after him, heard the sound of the door being broken, and then chased into a guest room, just in time to see two figures break the window and jump down to escape.
"Go downstairs! Stop him!"
Following the angrily scolding of the detective, Adolf and Kino had already mounted their horses and galloped madly towards the outskirts of the town. Several gunshots were heard behind them, but luckily the bullets missed them.
After escaping from the sight of the intelligence bureau agents, the two of them stopped to rest by a stream.
"With your ability, is it necessary to run away? Do you know how much money I won with that hand of cards?" Kino gasped.
Adolf still looked at the way he came, wary of anyone catching up with him.
"It's necessary. I heard that many people from the Inspection Bureau are stationed in Dandelion. This land will also be completely taken over by the federation... Killing the investigators will only get us into greater trouble."
"What on earth did you do? Why are you wanted by the Inspection Bureau?" Kino asked angrily.
Adolf recalled many things in the past. His hands were stained with blood, and it was not surprising that he was wanted. However, he still believed that it was caused by the riot he caused in the town of Walding.
Where should he go next? If he was wanted by the police, he might be searched everywhere in Missouri. Adolf was deeply confused about this.
"Run further..." He finally said to Kino.
…
Returning to Renekton, De Gaulle excitedly shared the information obtained by the Young Detective Team with Victor.
"José Garcia, male, 69 years old, is also one of the Progressives who died this time. He hired a coachman not long ago, who turned out to be a dwarf. Look, it's a coincidence, right?"
This information turned Victor's curiosity into shock.
Why did the dwarf get involved with the Progressives again? His analysis clearly excluded him from the suspicion of murdering the Progressives...
It's a bit complicated...
"Where is this person now? Are you sure it's Vader?"
"He will definitely not use his real name when applying for a job, but as long as he is a dwarf, he is worthy of our investigation!"
"You mean, this person is missing now?" Victor raised his eyebrows.
"Anyway, my friends didn't find me, but they found out about each other, and that's enough!"
De Gaulle looked confident, as if he had already thought of a way to find Wade.
Soon, he stood up and walked to the blackboard to start planning, and then said to Victor: "According to the clues we have, Vader is taking revenge on Bilbo and at the same time taking back the cult treasures he hid, right?
"
Victor nodded slightly and suddenly asked: "Do you want to take advantage of this?"
Snap! With a snap of his fingers, de Gaulle praised: "That's right, we have a clear understanding!"
De Gaulle then wrote names of people on the blackboard behind him and drew an extremely simple plan of Renekton.
"Based on the analysis of time and distance, coupled with the intervention of the Police Bureau, Wade should have only visited the Triangle Feng mansion once, and then returned without success."
"Then we can conclude that he did not know whose possession it was."
"If you were him, Watson, try to simulate it. Suppose you suddenly discovered that Dilio's wife was holding an auction in a public place in Renekton one day. What would you think?"
Victor frowned immediately after hearing this. He already understood De Gaulle's plan.
"Do you want the lady to get involved and pretend to be auctioning her husband's valuable items so that Wade thinks she has them?"
"That's right! That's it!" De Gaulle slammed the chalk on the blackboard, "There is absolutely no way he will miss this good show."
Are the Golden Tarot Cards... really that important? Victor is skeptical about this. In his opinion, this thing will only be useful to the seers of the dream and butterfly aspects.
"You could have resorted to this method early on under the guise of an auction." Victor teased.
As a result, de Gaulle pointed to the map and explained to Victor based on the time of Wade's disappearance.
"The key point of this plan is that Vader does not know the situation of Dirio's wife. I have not confirmed his hidden identity in Renekton before, so I cannot deduce his whereabouts."
"Now that I know that Wade was Jose's servant, I can increase the success rate of the auction to 70%."
"Is there any logic in it?" Victor chuckled.
Then de Gaulle picked up the pen and busily continued to draw symbols on the blackboard.
"This is the scope of Jose's daily activities. This is the Triangle Maple mansion, and the lady lived further away after her husband died. The probability that the two of them would interact is extremely small. If Wade had ever found that
Madam, as the client, I must already know, so I said there is a 70% probability... He may not have had time to figure out who Di Leo's wife is, because of the death of Jose and the subsequent actions of the Intelligence Bureau.
Intervened in the investigation, causing him to have to hide himself discreetly."
Victor listened to his analysis and felt that it did make sense.
In short, by holding a painless auction, even if the other party is not attracted, they will lose nothing.
"Are you agreed? Mr. Watson, if we work together, we will be able to catch that guy. Now I will go and inform the lady that there is a good show waiting for us next!"
