The sudden appearance of the side mission seems to be a reminder that the real murderer of the case has not been caught.
But in the case file, Qin Zhibo saw a very sufficient number of witnesses and physical evidence.
Regin LeDoux, judging from his religious beliefs, was a member of the Yellow Seal Brotherhood, which was consistent with the deceased's beliefs.
There are sufficient personal and material evidence for killing children and producing drugs, but he is not the murderer?
Qin Zhibo frowned, jumped to the beginning of the case file, and re-read each page.
Looking through it again this time, Qin Zhibo saw the investigation points on the computer screen.
The first point of investigation was the disappearance of the little girl Fontenot five years ago. Other little girls claimed that they were chased into the woods by the "green-eared spaghetti monster."
The file retains a photo of the little girl's oral portrait from that year, and the investigation point was on this photo.
【Survey√】
[Portrait of a spaghetti monster with green ears. No one would use this portrait to issue a wanted notice, but the "green ears" in it are thought-provoking]
This is an extremely abstract pencil drawing, but only the ears are painted green with crayon.
Qin Zhibo, who is familiar with the investigation mechanism, knew that this should be a hint that one of the characteristics of the murderer was "green ears."
Qin Zhibo continued to look down and saw a new investigation point on another photo.
This is a photo of the church that Dora Lan attended after it was burned down. There is a mural of "Man with Antlers" painted on the wall.
【Survey√】
[The highest point of the mural of the man wearing antlers is over 2 meters]
The investigation description was very concise, but Qin Zhibo immediately understood what was wrong with the following description.
The pastor of the church said that the mural may have been painted by the children of the congregants, but in fact the height of the painting is more than 2 meters, and children must at least step on a ladder to paint it.
It would take at least a very tall adult to draw it without the aid of tools.
The church members described the man who took Dora Lantern to the grove as being tall and smooth with a scar on his chin.
The last investigation point is at the end of the file. As the murderer of this case, the photo of Regine LeDoux is hung on the file.
【Survey√】
【This is a photo】
The investigation instructions were simpler, but Qin Zhibo's brain had adapted to the reasoning rhythm brought by this investigation point, and he immediately realized its meaning.
Regin LeDoux has no scar on his chin.
And when Regin LeDoux was arrested for other crimes, in the photo of the criminal taken by the police, Regin LeDoux's height corresponded to the height caliper next to him, which was 175cm.
Such a height would definitely not be called "tall" in the United States, but it is almost the same in Japan.
This also means that Regin LeDoux was not the person who took Dora Lan away in the first place, and he was probably not the direct murderer of Dora Lan.
Not a direct murderer, but possibly an indirect murderer.
The real murderer deliberately depicted a certain ritual scene when he killed Dora Lan. This was a typical religious murder case. The real murderer was probably also a member of the Yellow Seal Brotherhood.
Now, choose to come to Qin Zhibo.
Both his main mission and side mission are related to this murderer. If he can be caught, at least 6000 general skill proficiency can be recorded.
How can you not be excited by such a huge reward?
But Mr. Clock asked himself to rush to Arkham Town as soon as possible. He had already lost half a day today.
Qin Zhibo: "."
After careful consideration, Qin Zhibo decided to let Mr. Clock stay in Arkham for two more days.
Anyway, if it encounters something dangerous, it can still fly away
It's just that it's definitely not that convenient to investigate cases in the United States in my current capacity.
Although there are examples of detectives handling cases, this behavior must be allowed with the support of a familiar police officer.
The time for side tasks is only 48 hours. In such a tight time situation, it is best to use existing resources.
Since Kudo Yusaku can obtain the file records of the case, he must have good connections among the local police officers.
In the study, Kudo Yusaku is composing a new novel.
The "Night Baron" series of novels that he has been writing for many years has created the world-famous villain image of "Night Baron", which makes Yusaku Kudo both happy and troubled.
The troublesome part is that he originally didn't want a cold-hearted murderer to be so respected by others, which goes against his own values.
But the character of the Night Baron is so handsome, and the market response has been unprecedentedly strong.
Kudo Yusaku could only choose to compromise, and added some rogue behavior to the Night Baron, giving the character a sense of mystery that is both good and evil.
Now, Kudo Yusaku feels that it is time for him to break through himself and create some characters who are completely dominated by a sense of justice.
After seeing Qin Zhibo's reasoning ability this afternoon, Kudo Yusaku suddenly got inspiration and thought that he might be able to write a novel about an FBI investigator?
But if I transform myself into writing such a completely righteous character, will it be unacceptable to readers?
If you cross over a little bit and write a movie script, will it be better received by readers?
Even a great writer like Kudo Yusaku will worry about whether his new work will be a hit on the street.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Kudo Yusaku looked at the door and saw Qin Zhibo walking in with his laptop.
"Mr. Qin, there is no need to rush to return the laptop."
Kudo Yusaku thought Qin Zhibo was here to return the computer, but Qin Zhibo showed the 1995 case file records opened on the computer in front of Kudo Yusaku.
This is
Seeing this file record, Kudo Yusaku narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but think about it.
This case file record was borrowed from the local police chief in Oklahoma not long ago in order to research the material for the novel. The chief happened to be a fan of his book.
But when looking through the file, Kudo Yusaku noticed something wrong in it.
But later, Kudo Shinichi was shrunk, and Kudo Yusaku was busy returning to Japan to see his son. After returning to the United States, he was urged to publish by many publishing houses, so he forgot about this matter.
He took this out and showed it to me, could it be
"Sorry, this file record is on the desktop, so I opened it and read it."
Qin Zhibo first apologized, and Kudo Yusaku shook his head to express his understanding.
After all, he is a former FBI, and it is just a professional habit to check the case files of police departments across the United States.
"What do you think about this file, Mr. Qin?"
Qin Zhibo looked at Kudo Yusaku's calm eyes and knew that he was also aware of some doubts in the file.
In this case
Qin Zhibo told the three doubts he had found one by one. After listening, Kudo Yusaku nodded in approval, with undisguised approval in his eyes.
"Mr. Qin, you are indeed the most suitable candidate."
With the abilities of the protagonist and Yusaku Kudo, "True Detective" is really a dimensionality reduction blow...
