Chapter 159 The dead can talk
Soon, Enid wrote a bunch of messy things on the back of the crumpled note.
"Let me confirm in advance, that is to say, you guys from the Gus Association should all know how to solve these puzzles, right?"
Milo stood aside, frowning. Look at what Enid wrote.
In his opinion, these questions covering various elements of physics, chemistry, geology and brain teasers are impossible for normal people to solve.
"I don't know if others can figure it out, but I can." Enid handed the finished note to Milo and asked him, "So what are you doing?"
"From a certain point of view, I am playing tricks."
Milo held the piece of paper and began to look around, looking for traces of the black figure.
Enid thought Milo was counting the stone piers, and said impatiently:
“Don’t forget it, I can tell you the answer directly.”
"Shhh, don't say it yet." Milo immediately covered Enid's mouth.
Enid's reaction was very violent. She slapped Milo's hand away: "Oh! What the hell did your hands touch? What the smell!"
"Disinfection Liquid? Alcohol?" Milo sniffed his fingertips and muttered: "Just came out of the morgue."
Enid reacted even more fiercely. He wiped his mouth frantically.
At this time, Milo suddenly saw the shadow of a slender arm appearing on his sleeve, slowly spreading to the note in his hand.
The movement was like the shadow taking the note from his hand.
Milo said nothing and waited calmly.
......
A few minutes later, the shadow disappeared from Milo's sleeve, and then slowly appeared on the 23rd stone pier by the river.
Milo immediately turned to Enid and asked: "23, the revised answer is 23, right?"
Enid was stunned for several seconds.
"Huh? Uh...how did you calculate it? You actually know the algorithm of the Gus Association? It's really outrageous. You made it up in just one night? I remembered that you This is how you passed the law enforcement examination, right? Damn, what kind of genes do you have, why are you all so smart..."
Milo didn't pay attention to Enid's exclamation, he stared at Shi The shadow on the pier that only he could see.
The shadow was nodding to him at this time.
"Really Maggie Greene?" Milo whispered.
"What Maggie Greene?" Enid waved her hand in front of Milo.
"It's okay. You did a great job. If you rush back now, you still have time to attend the last class of the day. I have other things to do, so I won't play with you for now."
< br>Milo patted Enid on the head and hurried to the law enforcement headquarters.
Left by the river, Enid shook her hands vigorously to vent her speechlessness:
"You die..."
…
Law enforcement headquarters, morgue.
As soon as Milo opened the door, he saw old Theon standing under the kerosene lamp and smoking a big cigarette with the smell of corpses.
The latter’s first words when he saw Milo were:
"It was found out that the killer was once a member of the Fifth Expeditionary Force. He had participated in almost all of the expansion of the Southeast Sea, the Western War, and several recent large-scale military conflicts in this era. He had six medals of honor registered in the register. , awarded in the name of the royal family."
"Are you talking about the J Women's Medal?" Milo shrugged.
“I mean, this man’s surname is Solomon now.” Old Xion took a puff of cigarette and stared at the cold corpse on the table:
“I’m just curious. Why did Solomon want someone to kill a student boy?" Milo didn't stare at the corpse. After he returned to the morgue, he started rummaging through Joey's belongings and said while searching, "Who knows. , The scraps of the manuscript in the hands of the Gus Association were bought by Ethan Field from the black market, which belongs to Solomon's industry. They probably realized that they had sold something that they should not have sold. "
"Then why did you wait until today to take action?" Old Xion asked a question that Milo had asked himself once earlier today.
"Uh...because I came into contact with Joey yesterday." Milo pointed to Joey's body.
"So it's silence." Old Xion nodded, and then asked: "Did this kid know something he shouldn't know?"
"Before he was shot through the head by a bullet, he Tell me, Ethan Wilder is still alive." Milo didn't intend to hide anything from Old Theon, and truthfully repeated what Joey said before his death.
"Are you sure?" Old Xion frowned.
Ethan, like the seven members of the law enforcement agency, disappeared on the night of the Great Library Incident. It has been a year and a half. Old Xion has been tracking down, but no clues have been found about the disappearance. He does not believe Joey. Can find out the whereabouts of Ethan.
"Uh..."
Milo hesitated for a moment.
But at this moment, Maggie's shadow emerged on the wall behind old Theon.
She was nodding to Milo.
Milo raised his eyebrows and simply nodded: "I'm sure."
"That means the people from the Solomon Gang don't want us to find Ethan Field." Old Xion followed the train of thought and continued.
Milow continued what he said: "Because Ethan Field may have in his hands the fragments of Fenich's manuscript."
"This makes sense, but The dead can't tell us where Ethan is now." Old Theon shook his head.
Milo raised the corner of his mouth.
No, no, no, dead people can talk.
But...
"Let me ask you a question, how long do these two corpses need to be kept here before they are buried?" Milo asked Old Xion.
"Burial? According to the process, autopsy, evidence collection, case characterization, family members signing and claiming, well...it depends on the situation. The law enforcement office is only responsible for throwing the corpse to the church funeral director before it smells bad." Old Xion felt that Milo's question was a bit nonsensical, but he still answered it seriously.
"It sounds like it will take a long time..." Milo scratched his head.
Can I use the Peeping Totem without burial?
This Milo has never tried it himself, but there is a high probability that it will not work. The Scarlet Witch said that whether it is the nightmare stage or the undead peeping, what Milo hears and sees is what the superior person said. Acceptable information requires the deceased to spontaneously pray to the god in their mind, or to obtain approval from God in some form...
And burial is actually a form of "identification".
The golden tree icon engraved on the tombstone is a very important part.
If there is no way to peek at Joey's soul in the short term, Milo will have no choice but to use another method.
Maggie told him all the information about Joey.
Maggie has a high probability of knowing the whereabouts of Ethan.
So...
"Let me ask you another question, is it possible that you happen to understand sign language?" Milo asked old Xion.
“Are we discussing the case or just chatting?”
Old Theon couldn't keep up with Milo's leaping thinking.
