After scanning the surroundings, Annick pointed to the surrounding walls and said to Emma: "Miss Emma, ​​please help check whether there are secret doors or damage on the walls. Rita, you are responsible for recording my next questions."

Rita took out her sketchbook, and Emma examined the surrounding walls.

"What time did you two separate from Ruby last night, and where did you go after that?"

The two stood at the door, and the smarter man replied: "I went back after being beaten by you yesterday. Oh no, I went back after being educated by you. The separation time was about 6 pm. Ruby asked us to go back.

Don’t cause trouble for you. Of course, we don’t dare to cause trouble for you, so we will go home separately.”

"Very good. You haven't caused any more trouble for you. Has Ruby offended anyone else or met any strange people recently?"

"No, we in the engineering team all get along very well. The foreman often invites us to dinner. The strangest thing is that one time when we were returning home from work, we met someone handing out small bottles of beer on the road. He just asked us to fill out a form. As long as we

It’s your name, relationship, home address, etc.”

It's not an agency this time, Annick thought to himself, "When did this happen? Do you remember what the person who distributed the beer to you looks like?"

"It must have been at the end of last month. I can't remember what they looked like. There were three of them, two men and one woman. The woman had a higher status. She ordered one to hand out beer and the other to fill out forms."

"What other characteristics do you have?"

"Oh, they are all wearing scarlet hooded robes, and the leading woman has a letter K tattooed on her clothes."

"There are no other characteristics. Think about it carefully."

At this time, the silent man standing next to her started talking. "That woman's pocket watch shouldn't be cheap, it seems to be a customized one."

"What kind of information are you talking about? Don't cause trouble to the Sheriff."

"No, this is very important information. How do you identify it as a customized pocket watch?"

The man scratched his head and said: "I noticed that her pocket watch chain was made of gold, so I took a closer look. The outside of the pocket watch was engraved with the pattern of responsibility, just like, yes, it was engraved on the back of a new French coin,

A shield-like protrusion was engraved with patterns. I wanted to take a closer look, but the woman put away the pocket watch."

Annick probably knew what he wanted to express, and said with a smile: "It's very helpful. Now I have a rough idea of ​​the murderer of your colleagues. You have helped a lot. Ruby has other family members and friends."

?Who will handle this funeral? How can I thank you for your help?"

When the two men heard this, they waved their hands and said no, "You just need to find the murderer as soon as possible. As for Ruby's family, he has been an orphan since he was a child and has no other relatives or friends. If you complete the investigation, write a letter."

Give it to us, we will take care of the funeral. The address was left at the police station when we reported the crime. If there is no other problem, we will leave."

Annick waved to them, took out a one-shilling note and handed it to them, "Let's go back by car and buy some food on the way."

When the two men saw this, they didn't refuse anymore. After taking the banknotes, they quickly thanked them and left the room. Annick went to call the landlord and pointed to the house and said: "We will send someone to clean up the scene in the afternoon.

You can arrange for someone to repair the door tomorrow."

The landlord nodded hurriedly and said to Rita with a flattering look on his face: "Miss reporter, can you please not write my address directly in the newspaper, otherwise I will have a very difficult life in the future."

The landlord was wearing a washed white formal suit, and the pocketbook in his hand was polished to a shine. If not for seeing a bunch of keys in advance, Annick would have thought he was a poor man. So he teased: "Your monthly rental income is from

If fifty pounds turns into forty pounds, it won't affect your life."

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly defended: "That's so much, only more than twenty pounds. In such an unfortunate situation, it is difficult to rent out this room. There are still rent arrears. I owe them all after two days."

I just drove people away, but these people didn’t know how to repay their kindness and called me a miser. You can still find a cheap house like mine in the Gonia District.”

Annick ignored him, held up the broken door with his hands, and installed the door on the house with a bang.

Annick and the other three returned to the branch, holding newspaper-wrapped fish and chips in their hands. Sea fish was fishier, fried to a crispy texture, and coated with chili powder. Annick thought the food was okay, while Emma devoured it.

"The eldest lady's family has never eaten food from the common people?"

"I'm just hungry, what do you know?"

Annick gave up the debate with the eldest lady, she still paid for the lunch.

After the meal, Rita still stayed here. Annick glanced at her, stretched out his hand and said to Rita: "Miss Rita, do you still have the testimony I asked you to write?"

"Yes, you said you have a candidate target, tell me about it." Rita handed over a piece of paper with the inquiry process scrawled on it. Annick felt a little sorry for Bell, who would be responsible for filing next.

If I saw this bunch of words, I would definitely curse.

"I still haven't gotten any clues from the letters. The third letter is r and enr. No matter how the three letters are combined, there is no final answer. But today's questioning gave me some clues."

"How did you know?" Rita asked.

"First of all, there is the size of the organization. There are three people or more, but it is definitely not a large organization. The things that a slightly larger organization has done in the Special Operations Division must be registered. This organization k did not attract attention. They only sent Miss Emma here.

That’s proof.”

"Why do I feel that your words are a bit offensive? Forget it, you can continue." Emma didn't care about Annick's speech.

"Second point, K organization should not be too short of money. It costs money to buy the information of intermediary companies and distribute beer to collect information, but K does not challenge us because of money issues as claimed. At least money is not the main reason.

"

"You're right, but it still doesn't mean anything."

"The third point is that there should be nobles involved in the K organization. The construction workers saw the coat of arms of a certain family on the back of the pocket watch. The coat of arms of the entire French-Singapore coin indicated that it was the coat of arms of the entire Kelange region. Something similar should have a heritage.

The coat of arms of a nobleman will not be exclusive to a new nobleman bought with money. However, this nobleman should not be a great nobleman. Otherwise, there is no need to go to an intermediary company in person to find the information of the funder. The city hall can find connections to see it. The coat of arms of a great nobleman

People, whether their parents support it or not, generally do not end up being supporters of secret societies.”

"This is what you said." Rita quickly wrote down Annick's speech.

"So based on the existing intelligence, Organization K should be a small, new secret society led by a female noble. They are most likely planning an activity at the port. On the surface, they carry out murders to provoke the police, but in fact they divert the police and special forces.

The attention of the Operations Department is that this female noble should be unmarried, and her family status should be inherited for more than 200 years, from a baron or knight family. The financial situation is good but not very wealthy, otherwise there is no need to personally take command. In this way
