"I'll just say it!" Haier patted his head, showing a little panic, "It's him! The murderer! We should have arrested him long ago!"

The bearded police officer Harvey rolled his eyes and didn't argue with Haier. He turned and left the room and walked downstairs. Harvey glanced at Anna and the others who were standing at the door poking their brains, and waved to drive away, "Go up there, kids! "

The children nodded obediently, but made no move to leave.

The taller Haier and another police officer came out of the room and locked the room door with the key they got from Penny. The town police station was short-staffed and could only protect the scene in this way.

"Officer, is Mr. Dott really dead?" Anna, with Catherine the owl standing on her shoulders, tilted her head, looking like a curious baby, her head was full of cute templates of Conan costumes, "I believe you must be To be able to catch the murderer quickly, Ms. Penny cried to tears over there, which is really pitiful."

Haier signaled another policeman to check on the witness. He put the key in his trouser pocket and came to Anna, "Unfortunately, Mr. Dott really left us, child."

He tried to touch Anna's head and was almost bitten by Catherine, "Ow!" He yelled, Catherine flew away, and he retracted his hand, "We now have a suspect, it should be soon The killer can be caught, so don't worry."

"That's great," Anna nodded. "Is the object of your suspicion the old gentleman downstairs? Officer, he doesn't look like someone who can kill."

"Child, don't believe those people who seem harmless, this man downstairs, Frank Bryce, he has been on the battlefield, I don't know how many people he killed, he has some psychological problems, it's probably the previous case of Riddle Villa. The real murderer, oh... maybe you don't know..."

Haier shook his head, "Anyway, he's very dangerous, I have to go to work and the child," he pointed to the room where the crime happened. "Don't enter this room—of course you can't enter either, because I locked the door."

Anna watched Haier go downstairs. There were only a group of children left in the long corridor. Lianna hugged Ivan and followed another policeman into a large room, where the people who were on the second floor when the murder happened were gathered.

"We have something to do friends," Anna coughed.

"Ron, you and Harry go downstairs to see the suspected murderer, Frank Bryce," Anna touched her chin and instructed the Magical Boys Detective Team to start the operation, "Hermione, I need you to follow the man next to you. room, and record the testimony of any possible witnesses."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, "solve the case!" They were very excited, after all, they were children under ten years old and wanted to be involved in everything, "We must seize the hot cocoa that Mr. Dott made for us. murderer!"

"Anna..." Hermione frowned, "To be honest, we are all children, we shouldn't interfere in these matters, we should leave them all to the police..." It felt like Hermione was the embodiment of reason, a mature transmigrator Anna I can't help but start to reflect on myself, whether this Conan behavior should be stopped in time.

"Hermione! Mr. Dott said he was going to make us a Luther Hobbs cake, but he died in the room the next second. Don't you want to catch Mr. Dott's killer?" Ron waved Arm, "We're wizards! We can see what Muggles can't, and think in other ways - we can find the killer very quickly! It's like... er... Batman! Yes!"

Batman... Ron really likes Batman, he thinks Batman is a wizard too.

Hermione was silent for a while, then turned and walked towards the large room where the witnesses gathered, "Just once, I just want to catch the murderer as soon as possible."

"What about you, Anna?" Harry ran towards the stairs, being pulled by Ron. "Aren't you coming with us?"

Anna shook her head. "I've got other things to do, hey! Ron! Do you still have the zizi honey candy from Honey Duke's candy store?"

Ron quickly threw a candy over, "Thanks!" Anna caught it nimbly and put the candy in her pocket, she watched Harry and Ron go downstairs, and then took a piece out of the flying Catherine's feather. The key was the one in Haier's hand just now.

"Nice job, Catherine," Anna praised it, she had accepted the setting of Catherine's thief owl, Catherine shouted proudly and flew to the wooden table aside, trying to steal the vase above.

Anna tied her hair into a ball head, put on dragon leather gloves, and inserted the key into the wooden door of the room where the crime occurred. With a twist, the wooden door was easily opened without any creaking sound. Anna stepped in, then closed the door and locked it.

The smell of death filled the whole room. It wasn't a stench, but it was breathless. The room was square, and everything was clear at a glance. A huge wooden wardrobe that could hide two or three people. , the stone fireplace is next to the wardrobe, the red carpet is spread in front of the fireplace, and the temperature is left in the fireplace, and the fire inside should have been extinguished not long ago.

Anna didn't look at the striking bed and the corpse above, she walked to the fireplace.

'How did the fire go out? She squatted down and took a closer look. The firewood was covered with a layer of sand, and the wooden barrels beside the fireplace were filled with a lot of sand. It seemed that the fire was extinguished by using sand to isolate oxygen. , this is a bit strange, as if someone deliberately stepped on the sand after the fire was extinguished, for fear that the fire would not be extinguished.

Perhaps this is the awe of fire caused by the frequent occurrence of the Little Hangleton fire? A little Hangleton man put out the fire? There were no black footprints on the carpet from the fireplace, perhaps Mr. Dott put out the fire and cleaned the soles of his feet.

Anna looked at the trash can by the fireplace, and sure enough, she found a few paper towels stuck with sand and ashes, with a faint smell of apples.

Anna stood up, walked from the fireplace to the bed, she finally saw Mr. Dort lying on the bed, but the angle was not very good, and it was not perfect for her height, so she moved a small stool and stood on it and looked at it. Dot's corpse.

This was Anna's first close encounter with a corpse, a strangely pale corpse, but she found that she wasn't as frightened as she had expected.

Probably because she was once close enough to death to come to this world with the ghost Myrtle as a friend, and meet the nearly headless Nick and Professor Binns, when death is no longer an unknown thing, it The horror of the corpse will decrease, so when facing the corpse, although Anna feels uncomfortable, she has no other reaction. She believes that although Mr. Dott has left this world, he will still exist in other ways.

In addition to the bizarre potion materials seen in the potions classroom at Hogwarts, the weird knowledge learned in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and the occasional "mistake" of the dark wizard trades I saw in Knockturn Alley, Anna's psychological quality has been improving, oh, thanks to the heavy-duty criminal investigation dramas I watched on the Internet before her rebirth, a pale corpse is always better than the **** flesh that looks **** after being mosaicked. .

'Too much blood loss,'It is not difficult to come to this conclusion, Anna noticed the wound on Dot's neck, it was difficult not to notice, because a knife was inserted there, a very long knife, which could not cut much Te's neck was pierced, and it looked like the killer's strength wasn't that great, maybe it was a woman? Or maybe the murderer hesitated when committing the crime.

There were two pinhole-like things not far below the stab wound. Anna stared at it for a while, then took out the picture taken in the woods from the blue floral cloth bag and unfolded it.

A dark shadow stood in the woods behind her, and at first Anna thought it was Nagini who had been photographed, but now it seemed that perhaps Little Hangleton was in some other danger—such as a vampire.

But would a vampire kill so rudely with a knife? Anna glanced at the blood spurting out of Dort's neck. Isn't this a waste of food?

Anna jumped out of her chair and went around to the foot of the bed, which was facing the fireplace, and she saw Dot's calf dangling from the foot of the bed, only one shoe on his foot, and the other, probably when he was struggling. Falling, Anna bent down and found the shoe under the bed.

The soles of both shoes were sticking to some moist soil, so Mr. Dort should not put out the fire in the fireplace, because the fire extinguisher should have cleaned his soles after putting out the fire.

Anna raised her hand.

These moist soils indicate that Dot has gone out at least once after the rain, and not through the main entrance, because Anna has been paying attention to the scarecrow outside the main entrance. If Dot went out through the main entrance, she should be able to notice.

Strange, Dot made cakes in the kitchen, then went out through a secret back door once, then came to this room, and then died here, why did he come here during working hours, and he can rest after making the cake? But the dishes he left in the kitchen haven't been washed...

Maybe he met someone outside, put down his work, and then the two came to this room together? His friend, lover, or Frank Bryce? It was definitely not his wife anyway, because Ms. Penny was with the staff at the time—

Such speculation, it is likely that the person who was with him at the time killed him, and this person was very familiar with Dort, because Dort did not struggle and fight too much before his death. The murderer approached Dot and stabbed him with a knife. neck, covering his mouth until he died.

As for vampires... Anna frowned~www.mtlnovel.com~ I haven't thought about what role vampires played in this case.

"Where's my key..." Haier murmured outside the door, followed by the impatient voice of Officer Harvey, "No, Haier, we only have this key!"

"Kakaka..." Someone was shaking the doorknob.

Anna moved the wooden stool back to its original place, stepped on the bedside table and turned to the outside of the window. She took out a 'Zizz Honey Candy' and ate it in her mouth, then jumped off the second floor.

She came to a smooth stop a few inches off the ground, landed, and ran quickly back to the Hanged Hotel.

"Bang!" Harvey kicked the door open, and he saw the open window at a glance, "Damn!" He ran to the window and looked down, but he saw no one, nor did he leave any footprints on the gravel road , "Someone was here just now!"
