Chapter 124: Special Techniques
Sure enough, even though the third room on the left hand side of the stairs on the first floor of the club was being used, when Xia De proposed that he wanted to change to that room, the club people didn't even hesitate and agreed.
The foreign wine merchant who was using that room to talk about business was politely invited to the room on the second floor. Xia De and Miss Miss Beiyasi entered the room alone again. The detective watched Miss Miss Beiyasi walk into the room with some excitement, so he blinked, and the life wheel in his soul rotated at an extremely weak speed.
The blood color dissipated in his right eye, but it was hard to be noticed. An abnormally obvious halo of blood appeared in the normal field of vision, forming the trajectory of the victim's movement in the air. This trace didn't even need to be captured to be easily observed.
In the state of "Divine Radiance", this spell was even more handy.
While Xia De used his own spell to observe clues, Miss Miss Beiyasi was also working hard. Although Xia De didn't know what ability she used, it was clear that the other party also found some important clues from the room where the Orthodox Church's investigation team found no clues.
In the field of vision of Xia De's right eye, the largest pool of blood was on the side of the sofa, in front of the cabinet where the vase was placed. The whole cabinet had been splashed with blood, and there was a trace on the floor.
Miss Miss Beiyasi also found this place, standing in front of the brown solid wood three-layer drawer cabinet, almost whispering:
"There are traces of spirit remaining..."
"What?"
Xia De asked deliberately, fearing that the other party would say something inappropriate again.
Sure enough, the girl with brown long hair also realized what she had said, and immediately turned to observe the detective's expression. Seeing that the latter had a confused face, she relaxed slightly in her heart:
"When I was trained at Black Stone Security Company, in addition to women's fighting techniques, I also received special training. I think something must have happened around here."
"Is the training of the security company so powerful?"
Xia De sighed and walked to the cabinet.
Although he didn't know why the Orthodox Church didn't discover this, Xia De, based on the principle of doing things after taking other people's Jin Bang, very considerately pulled out the drawer, moved the flower pot to another place, knocked down the cabinet, and carefully checked here.
The cabinet had indeed been scrubbed clean, but at the bottom of the cabinet, at the position where the wooden floor connected to the wall, there were blood marks that were almost invisible to the naked eye.
If Xia De hadn't observed it with a miracle, he wouldn't necessarily be able to find it even if he looked for it deliberately:
"Miss Miss Beiyasi, look here."
Xia De stood up, adjusted the gas lamp on his head to be brighter, and then squatted down to point to the bloodstain. The lady with brown long hair also gathered her skirt and squatted down, following his finger, and indeed saw the blood in the wall crack:
"It seems it's here!"
She didn't doubt Xia De's "acuteness", stood up happily:
"Detective, please go out for a while, I want to use special methods to identify these bloodstains. Because it is a unique technique, it cannot be seen by you."
Meaning she wanted to use miracles that required spellcasting materials and incantations, and ordinary detective could not watch.
"Of course you can."
Xia De stood up briskly, didn't ask anything, turned and left the room. After waiting for a full ten minutes, Miss Miss Beiyasi let him go back again. Even if Xia De was not good at observing other people's expressions, he could find that the other party had excitement like eyes shining:
"Detective, I think this is indeed a big discovery. I confirmed through special techniques that this bloodstain appeared on the day Mr. Lawrence disappeared, and, I also found a way to track it, I..."
"Should inform Ridwich Yard about this matter, and then let a reliable formal police team conduct the investigation. After all, cultists are very dangerous, and chasing them yourself is definitely not okay."
Xia De said. He looked at Miss Miss Beiyasi inquiringly. The latter was reminded, and the excited mood returned to normal:
"You are right. I am just here to find clues. Chasing them myself is really too stupid. Then I will return to Ridwich Yard."
She didn't make a slip of the tongue and say it was a church this time.
"Detective Hamilton, you played a very important role in this commission. I think if there is a chance, we can continue to cooperate."
She reached out to shake hands with Xia De. Xia De of course would not refuse, but his eyes paused on the golden ring on the other party's finger:
"Then about the commission fee..."
"Detective, you set the price."
Xia De nodded. Miss Miss Beiyasi, who pretended to be an honorary police officer and pretended to be a wine merchant, might not understand the charging standard of this line of detectives, but in fact Xia De didn't know either. He considered for a while, Miss Miss Beiyasi's income should not be very high, and this investigation didn't cost too much:
"How about 15 shillings? But you have to be responsible for sending me back to St. Deran Square."
Although he had money temporarily, Xia De was not willing to spend it indiscriminately.
"No problem, detective, this price is very appropriate. I think we will definitely have a chance to cooperate again in the future. Cooperating with you is very pleasant. I have been unlucky these days, but I didn't encounter any trouble when acting with you."
Miss Miss Beiyasi said, and was about to take money from her handbag. Xia De said again:
"Also, lady, when you report this matter to Ridwich Yard, can you slightly weaken my role? The meeting with Miss Galina today is not convenient to disclose to the outside world. You know, an unmarried female Duke meeting a strange man..."
He didn't continue, but the other party must understand. And the reason why he knew Galina Cavendish was unmarried was because she was still using the Cavendish royal surname.
"This is of course."
Miss Miss Beiyasi handed some scattered banknotes to Xia De, and then took out a small silver coin from her pocket, blew it in front of her mouth, and immediately put it to her ear to listen:
"This is a tip."
She handed the small silver coin together with the banknotes worth 15 shillings to Xia De.
That silver coin with the head of the previous King is not legal tender, but it can still circulate. The face value fluctuates between 8 shillings and 10 shillings. Its nature is between commemorative coins and circulating currency, and some special transaction occasions especially favor this kind of coin:
"Thank you, generous lady."
Xia De waved his hat and said in a very exaggerated tone. Miss Miss Beiyasi covered her mouth and laughed lightly, and both of them were in a very good mood.
Miss Miss Beiyasi also had to return to the city center from the East District of Tobesk where the Lucky Southern Cross Club is located. The Sun Church is a bit further away, and she could drop Xia De off at the square on the way.
There happened to be an empty carriage parked at the door of the club, so the two took the carriage back together, and they were very satisfied with their harvest. ===== CHAPTER 125 =====
