Profiler 3: Crime Ends

Chapter 46 Death Puzzle Dried Flowers

Kevin couldn't help but look at Jiao Yang, what the hell is this?It turns out that the old man accepted the police's questioning only to facilitate the application for renewal of the Canadian government's treasure hunting license? !

40 years ago, Daniel gave up the family business he had just inherited, moved from Texas to Oak Island, dug tunnels everywhere, and searched for treasures.If he's not on the island, he's going to search for treasure maps all over the world...

Because he was obsessed with finding treasures, Daniel didn't get married until he was almost 40 years old.But even after becoming a family,? He only occasionally goes home to see his wife and two children who live in California.

Daniel searched for many years before he found conclusive evidence of buried treasure on Oak Island, which was a ventilation hole several meters wide.

Just as Daniel was talking, the outer door rang, and a couple in their thirties came in. The man was holding a three or four-year-old, fair-looking, very cute little girl.

When the man heard about the treasure hunting license, his face darkened.

He went straight to Kevin and Jiao Yang and said, "Who are you? Are you here to inquire about treasure maps again? Listen to me, gentlemen,? This old man who has been obsessed with treasure hunting for 40 years, my father Daniel, I'm already out of my mind. You can't get anything you want from him. Please leave my house as soon as possible!"

CBI will not wear police uniforms for daily attendance, but the iconic black suit.

At this moment, because the weather was getting hot, Kevin and the others took off their suit jackets and folded them aside.It is even more impossible for Jiao Yang to have any police uniform now.

According to the information provided by Professor Jones, Daniel Walker has two sons.I don't know which one this misunderstood gentleman is.

"Hello."

Kevin stepped forward and said, "Sir, what's your name? You misunderstood. I'm the Federal Police, Kevin Smith, the head of the CBI criminal investigation team."

After hearing Kevin's self-introduction, the man couldn't help being stunned for a moment, "Are you the police? Or the CBI? You can just call me Scott. Has my father caused any trouble again?!"

"No."

Kevin patiently explained: "It's just that there has been a case related to the treasure of Oak Island recently. Let's come to find out the situation."

"Oak Island again!"

As soon as Scott heard this word, he impatiently pulled away his wife and young daughter who came up to greet them.

Jiao Yang suddenly heard the door knock again, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure walking in.

Jiao Yang paused, subconsciously said: "Nathan? Why are you here?"

"Hi!"

Nathan came over and said with a gentle smile, "I'll come back to see my father. Are you my father's friends? What a coincidence."

It turned out that Nathan was Daniel Walker's second son.Jiao Yang pointed to Kevin, shook his head and said, "No, I came here with this police officer."

Kevin also stood up and said, "I'm a police officer from the CBI. I'm here to ask Mr. Walker to find out something."

Nathan was startled, took a step back unconsciously, and forced a smile: "Then...then you talk. I won't bother you. Dad, I'm going back to my room first."

Daniel seemed very happy to see Nathan, waved his hand and said, "Go son!"

At this time, the door of the opposite room opened, and the three or four-year-old girl changed into a more beautiful floral skirt and walked over unsteadily.

Holding a handful of chocolates in her hand, she ran to Jiao Yang's side and said, "Uncle, eat candies!"

The little girl's eyes are clear, and her face is as delicate as a flower.Jiao Yang's heart softened unconsciously, and he took a chocolate candy casually, "Oh, thank you baby!"

Jiao Yang touched his body subconsciously, but it is unlikely that a man of his age still carries candy with him.Jiao Yang searched all over his pockets, only to find a scented bag of dried flowers in a tulle bag.

He collected and dried jacaranda petals that fell from the campus.

He originally wanted to give it to Lu Yuanli, as a little adjustment in their increasingly fixed and boring life.

Jiao Yang shook the sachet in his hand at the little girl, "Baby, what's your name?"

The little girl smiled shyly, "Rukia."

Jiao Yang smiled and said: "Then Lucia, thank you for the chocolate candy, how about this for you?"

Rukia nodded shyly, "Thank you uncle."

Soon her mother, Scott's wife, ran over, picked up the little girl, bowed to Jiao Yang and said, "Sorry for the trouble."

"No." Jiao Yang said with a smile, "Lukia is very cute."

When Scott's wife brought their little granddaughter into the room, Neil invited the two of them into the study.

Kevin felt that no one should bother him at this time.He asked, "Daniel, do you know about the curse of the Oak Island treasure? Do you believe it?"

"heard about it."

Daniel said: "How to put it, we can't explain many things beyond nature, but it doesn't mean they don't exist."

Kevin glanced at Jiao Yang, and said solemnly: "Recently, several murders occurred one after another on a university campus. We suspect that this is related to the curse of the treasure of Oak Island. Mr. Walker, can you help us recall, about this Curse, is there anything that impresses you, Mom?"

"To tell you the truth, gentlemen."

Daniel said: "Over the years, I may have searched every inch of Oak Island, and I am very familiar with them. I have also learned about the details of this curse. I even thought about it, I I have been trying to find it for half my life, but the key to my failure is that I have always been alone, and I have never led a treasure hunting team, let alone casualties. However, these are just thoughts. So, I really don’t know I understand why some people would kill people because they want to fulfill the curse and get the treasure of Oak Island, this is impossible!"

Jiao Yang paused, "Mr. Walker, why do you say that?"

Daniel coughed and said, "Officer, I don't know how to solve the case. Because if someone wants to believe this is true, they must be very religious to the treasure. However, the content of the curse is that seven people died during the treasure hunt." .It is not that seven people were killed for no reason. The meaning here is completely different. Does this person still want to deceive God?!"

The meaning of this statement is correct, just like if you believe that gods have spirits, you should not deceive gods and ghosts.If ghosts and gods can fool you, then what's the point of you pretending here?

Jiao Yang shook his head helplessly. Although what he said was true, throughout the ages, thousands of people have been dazzled by the so-called treasures and wealth.There are countless people who have abandoned their wives and children, killed their fathers and brothers, and betrayed their country for glory in order to become famous.This reason cannot stop those who are already crazy about treasure.

Daniel said: "That's why I think that saying that someone killed someone because of a curse is just diverting attention!"

This is also a way of thinking.Kevin looked at him and said, "Daniel, you have been hunting for treasures all the time, do you know anyone who is particularly fanatical about treasures?"

"Then it's just me!"

Daniel laughed heartily and said: "After all, there is no other person in this world like me who has spent 40 years for a legend!"

This sounds reasonable, but Kevin just looked at Jiao Yang, and smiled at Daniel: "Your suggestion is very good, we will consider it carefully!"

But both of them knew very well that the possibility of Daniel killing someone because he was too obsessed with the treasure was very low.

Because Daniel is almost 70 years old this year, although he seems to be in good spirits, his hands have begun to tremble slightly when he smokes a pipe.The three deceased were two men and one woman. Even Daniel might be able to subdue Eileen with the effect of the ether towel.Eric and Chris among the victims were both young and middle-aged boys.

First, it is very difficult for Daniel to subdue them alone.Second, the knife in Eric's chest was decisive, fast and steady.And before the murderer shot, there were basically no obvious signs of struggle.This means that the murderer probably knew Eric.

Eric, a drug addict at a young age, can't see any connection with Daniel, at least on the surface.

Without any useful clues from Daniel, Jiao Yang and Kevin went back.

On the way back, Kevin thought about it, and asked, "Hugo, do you think the murderer could be Daniel?"

Jiao Yang said with a smile: "It's unlikely. If the murderer is really him, how could he say these words? Also, considering Daniel's current age and physical condition, he wants to subdue and kill Eric and Ke alone." Reese, it is too difficult!"

Kevin pondered: "But you Chinese are not talking about falsehood. Maybe he said it on purpose to disturb our sight? You see, he just kept talking about finding the treasure in order to complete the curse. This is impossible. But this is the only direction of investigation we have now. If we deny this, we have nothing to do with this case! As for the problem you mentioned, there is another key point! Now there is no definite evidence to prove that the murderer is alone..."

"There is indeed no solid evidence to prove that there is only one murderer."

Jiao Yang scratched his nose and said, "You are right. Even if the murderer is not Daniel, since he spent 40 years searching for the treasure in Oak Island, then the murderer is likely to have some kind of connection with Daniel. For example They have searched for treasure maps together, studied the terrain of Oak Island together, and even sailed out to sea together. Keep an eye on Daniel, maybe there may be windfalls!"

"I think so!"

Kevin said happily: "I'll submit a report when I go back and apply to my superiors!"

As soon as Jiao Yang arrived at the downstairs of the villa, Lu Yuanli came out, "I think the snacks in that shop are pretty good, let's go and eat."

"actually……"

Jiao Yang stepped forward to hold his hand, shook it and said, "You think it feels good to be able to hold hands with me, right?"

Lu Yuanli was noncommittal, but asked, "Did you gain anything from meeting Daniel today?"

"It's okay."

Jiao Yang roughly told Lu Yuanli about how he met Daniel today, and what he discussed with Kevin just now, and asked, "It took me a long time to reach an agreement with Kevin. Do you think the murderer will come to terms with you?" Daniel related?!"
