Lord of the Secret Art!

The teacher's body...was stolen?

Flynn was shocked, not expecting such a thing to happen.

Then he turned livid and asked.

What did the other party steal the teacher's body, do you know who did it?

Ray Romano is a person he respects and a person who has given him great help. Now that the teacher's body has been stolen, he is completely angry.

I don't know. I have called the police. These police officers came to investigate this matter.

Josie said with an ugly face.

The sudden death of his father made him very uncomfortable, but now his father's body was stolen, which made him even more sad.

Sir, may I ask your name and what is your relationship with Mr. Ray Romano?

Seeing Feilin coming, a brown-haired female police officer in her twenties came up and questioned Feilin.

I'm Flynn Sox, and I'm his student.

Flynn replied.

Did Mr. Ray Romano have any feuds with anyone, especially recently?

The female police officer continued to question.

Do the police suspect that the person who stole the teacher's body is someone who has a grudge against the teacher?

Flynn was keenly aware of the hidden meaning in the female police officer's words, so he couldn't help asking.

The case is still in the investigation stage. It is inconvenient to disclose the details. Please answer the question.

The female police officer said seriously.

Feel sorry.

Flynn apologized, and after thinking about it, he replied.

Since I started working, I have less contact with the teacher, but as far as I know, the relationship between the teacher and the people around him is very good, and there is no one who has any grudges.

Did you attend yesterday's funeral, did you notice anything unusual?

The female police officer continued to ask.

I attended yesterday's funeral, and nothing abnormal was found at the funeral.

Flynn shook his head.

The female police officer didn't ask any more questions, and left with several other police officers shortly after.

Obviously they should be looking for clues to solve this body theft.

However, judging from the inquiry just now, it seems that they did not get any useful information.

After such a thing happened, Flynn was not in a hurry to return to Flynn's laboratory. He looked at Josie and suggested.

Mr. Romano, while letting the police detect it, I suggest hiring detectives to investigate. Compared with the police, they are more efficient.

Most of the people who can serve as detectives are quite capable people.

Without the ability, it is impossible for them to make a living in this profession.

After all, police officers don't need to be paid, but they need to be paid, and the pay is often not low.

Josie thought about it, agreed with Flynn's suggestion, and asked.

Mr. Flynn, do you know any detectives who are good at this?

I don't know anyone, but I heard that a detective named Kafei Colon is very good at this kind of disappearance cases. If you don't have a better candidate, I suggest hiring this detective.

Flynn said.

Not long after, Flynn and Josie got into a rental carriage. After driving for half an hour, the rental carriage stopped in front of a detective agency.

Bang, bang, bang!

After knocking on the door, the two opened the door and entered the detective office.

There are desks, sofas, coffee tables and other things inside the detective office. The room is small, but the layout is exquisite.

At this time, a man was sitting at the desk.

The man was in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a white shirt and a black vest.

Because of the colder weather, he was wearing a gray coat outside.

Please sit down.

The man asked Flynn and Josie to sit on the sofa.

He was not in a hurry to ask them why they came, but after pouring a cup of black tea for each of them, he sat on the sofa opposite them and asked.

Two, I'm Detective Kafei Colon. I wonder what's the matter with your visit?

Mr. Colon, I'm Josie Romano. Just last night, my father's grave was dug up and his body was stolen. I would like to entrust Mr. Colon to investigate.

Josie explained his purpose.

Has the body been stolen? Mr. Romano, I am happy to accept the entrustment. However, before I do this, I must remind you that my entrustment fee is very high, as high as fifty gold pounds.

Caffey said.

No problem, as long as you can find my father's body.

Josie Romano didn't haggle and agreed.

Perhaps after bargaining, the entrustment fee can be reduced, but now he is not in that mood at all.

Very well, sir, I accept your commission.

Kafei stretched out her hand and shook it with Josie.

...

In the cemetery outside the city, Flynn, Josie, and Kafei came here.

Flynn chose to follow.

Ray Romano was his teacher, someone he respected and gave him great help, so he chose to help.

After all, if the corpse is really found, no matter whether it is to capture the corpse thief or transport the corpse back, manpower will be needed.

And he also wanted to know who stole the teacher's body, and why the other party stole the teacher's body.

The three of them walked in the cemetery towards Ray Romano's grave.

There are still crows on the branches that have lost all the leaves. I don’t know if they are the crows from yesterday.

The crow stared at the three people who came, its blood-colored eyes seemed to be moving with the movement of the three people.

In the entire cemetery, except for the three of them, there was no one else, and with the dark clouds covering the sky, the atmosphere was inexplicably creepy.

asshole!

Seeing the dug-up grave, Josie's face was ashen, his fists clenched, and he was suppressing his anger.

And Flynn's expression was also very ugly.

Ray Romano was a man he respected, but he was outraged that his body was disturbed after his death and that he was not given peace.

Mr. Cologne, please, please find my father's body for me.

Suppressing his anger, Josie looked at Kafei and begged.

Don't worry, this is my job.

Kafei nodded and began to enter work mode.

He first carefully looked at the excavated tomb, then walked around the tomb and looked around.

Although the fee is high, he is indeed a capable person, and he soon discovered it.

Come here please!

He greeted Flynn and Josie, and Flynn and Josie walked over.

This footprint is very new, and it has not been left for a long time. I suspect that it is the footprint left by the tomb robbers.

Kafei pointed to a footprint on the ground and said.

Could it be left by someone who came to visit the cemetery?

Flynn looked at the footprints and asked in doubt.

It was just a footprint, and he didn't understand why Kafei believed that this footprint was left by the tomb robbers.

This direction is full of weeds and the road is difficult to walk. If you are a grave sweeper, you will not leave the cemetery from this direction.

In addition, the footprints should not have been left for a long time. Although I can't be sure, there is a high possibility that they were left by tomb robbers.

Caffey explained.

I see.

After listening to Kafei's explanation, both Feilin and Josie were stunned, and they couldn't help but look forward to Kafei's ability.

Using this footprint as a clue, Kafei began to track it down.

Because there has been no rain in the last few days, the footprints are not consistent and cannot be traced all the way through the footprints.

But Kafei was very resourceful and tracked down all the way.

Sometimes he used downed weeds as a trail.

Sometimes, he used trampled dead branches as tracking clues.

Sometimes, he used broken cobwebs as tracking clues.

...

It was an eye-opener for Flynn and Josie. From their point of view, very ordinary things can often become clues for Kafei to follow.

With the two of them, Kafei left the cemetery from the side, entered the forest near the cemetery, and walked in the forest.

After walking for more than an hour, an animal corpse appeared in front of them, and the three of them stepped forward to check.

It was the corpse of a gray-haired animal about four feet long, with a pool of dried blood beneath it.

Why is there a dead dog here?

Josie was surprised.

No, it's not a dog's body, it's a wolf's body.

Caffey shook his head.

Dogs tend to have drooping ears, whereas the ears of this corpse were erected vertically.

Moreover, compared with dogs, its snout is longer and sharper, and its mouth is wider, which are the characteristics of wolves.

It just happened to appear on our way, could this be killed by a tomb robber?

Flynn asked.

Kafei didn't answer immediately, but squatted down to check the wolf's body and its surroundings.

On the wolf's neck, there was a hideous wound with exposed flesh and blood, and a large piece of flesh and blood was missing. This should be the wolf's fatal wound.

And around, there are messy ground tumbling marks.

He had a judgment and said.

It shouldn't have been killed by the grave robber, unless the grave robber likes to fight like a beast and has the habit of eating raw flesh and blood.

The three continued to move forward. At this time, the sky had already dimmed, and it would be dark soon.

Cuckoo, cluck, cluck...

In the woods, unknown birds chirped lowly.

In the sky that was about to darken, it was inexplicably creepy.

And the surrounding dense trees swayed from time to time under the blowing of the evening wind, as if there was something in it.

Flynn was inexplicably a little nervous, and couldn't help getting closer to Josie and Kafei.

And Josie seemed a little uneasy, he looked around and said to Kafei.

Mr. Cologne, it's getting dark, why don't we go back to the city today and investigate tomorrow?

Mr. Romano, you are the employer. If this is your decision, I will obey it, but I want to remind you that the longer the time passes, the less likely it is to get it back.

Kafei stopped and said to Josie.

Then... let's continue.

Josie gritted her teeth. Although she felt uneasy, she still made a decision to continue the investigation.

Um.

Caffey nodded.

For the current situation, he seems to have expected it.

He took out a bamboo tube from his gray overcoat, and when he opened it, it turned into a torch.

Lit with a match, orange light lit up in the woods.

With Kafei holding a torch in front, the three continued to search forward.

The light of the torch shone on the surrounding trees, casting exaggerated and elongated black shadows.

Flynn walked last, looking at the dark shadows formed under the light of the torches, not only did he not relax, but he became more and more hairy.

As the torch moved, the pitch-black shadow changed, as if it had come to life.

He couldn't help worrying about whether there would be a devil hiding in these shadows and would jump out at any time.

who……?

Kafei, who was walking in the front, suddenly let out a low cry, and Feilin quickly looked away from the surrounding shadows and looked forward.

In front of them, a person turned his back to them.

The man lowered his head and seemed to be eating something.

Seeing this person's back, he was inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen a similar back somewhere.

He didn't see that Josie, who was in front of him at this time, seemed to have seen an extremely strange picture, and his face was already pale.

Flynn didn't recognize it, but Josie recognized it at a glance. The back of this man was very similar to his father, almost exactly the same.

Moreover, the clothes worn by this man were the same as those worn by his father when he was buried.
