After listening to Burke's words, Adeline, Rowler and his son looked at him and shook their heads neatly.

Burke also guessed that it would be the answer, and he didn't make any secrets, and said the answer directly: "'al-tee' is the abbreviation of Alcoholics Anonymous! It is said that this mutual aid organization is very successful. Two or three years ago, it should have been The organization has started to settle in Andrew Town, and the confidentiality measures have been done well. If there were no colleagues in the bureau who were involved in the case who had participated in this mutual aid meeting, I would not have been able to find them so quickly."

"Alcoholics Anonymous? Why does Mr. Mary have an internal journal of this kind of mutual aid?"

Josh thought of the cover of the publication he had seen in Burke's phone photo. Although it was only half of it, the Madou on it was so hot and sexy, and he couldn't see what it had to do with Alcoholics Aid, "Maybe Who gave it to her, or it was given to her by the promoters of the mutual aid association on the street!"

Josh guessed so, but Burke shook his head and continued to drop the heavy news: "The deceased in the Dunwu block murder was named Pamela Leslie, a 22-year-old black-haired woman, and like Mary Bell, she was A young and beautiful single woman; however, Pamela is a fitness instructor and works in the Dunwu neighborhood. She just moved to Andrew Township at the beginning of this year, and she has no social relationship with Mary Bell, but... ...."

Burke deliberately paused at this point, seeing that everyone's attention was focused on his words, and then continued: "But I found out that she also has a booklet with such a faint stamp at home! This time, I took the magazine back to the police station and asked my colleagues from the forensics department to help me identify it. I found that the letters printed on the stamp were exactly the same as those on the photo sent by Adeline. They were all 'al- Tee' such a few letters."

Adeline frowned upon hearing this and said, "So it seems that the stamp was made lightly on purpose?" Every magazine had the same stamp, but each stamp was extremely faint. Not wanting to attract attention, which is inherently a paradoxical behavior.

Rolek, who had been silent all this time, spoke at this moment. He always remembered the bold guess made by Josh when they had dinner at noon, and asked Josh, "Burke, have you checked this organization? Who are the people who participate in the mutual aid meeting?" Alcoholics themselves must be accompanied by family members? I always feel that Teacher Mary and the mysterious figure from the anti-rebel army did not meet by chance. They must have known each other through a certain platform. The other party has a hobby of collecting badges!"

"what?"

Burke didn't know the gains of Adeline and Rowler's actions during the day, so he was confused about what Rowler said. Just at this time, his order was delivered, so he listened carefully while eating quickly. The explanations given by the others, after his elegant movements but the effect of eating and drinking in a storm, he has already sorted out all the news in his mind.

"So, it is very likely that Mary Bell was targeted by the owner of the 'badge of doom', that is, a town rebel army two or three years ago? The 'al-tee' organization also moved into Andrew Town almost two or three years ago , Do you think this is a coincidence? Also, my colleague specially helped me check the files of the year. This mutual aid meeting must be accompanied by an alcoholic and a relative or friend. Only two people are allowed to participate together. You said that Mary Bell Is it the alcoholic or the alcoholic's escort?"

Pamela Leslie, the victim of the Dunwu block murder, was personally dissected by an expert sent by the state. All the information will not come out until after midnight, but judging from the testimony of her neighbors, colleagues and clients , she must be an alcoholic, but it is not clear which relatives and friends accompanied her to the AA meeting!

But the situation of Teacher Mary is more complicated. When the murder happened last year, Mary Bell's death appraisal was done by the forensic doctor in the bureau. Because "One-eyed William" was caught at the scene of the murder, the soon-to-be-retired The old forensic doctor only did the most basic death appraisal, confirming that the dagger held by "One-Eyed William" had indeed punctured her main artery, causing her to bleed profusely and die.

As for whether Mary Bell had a history of alcoholism or not, her body had already been buried now, so it was definitely impossible to know from this aspect.And her only family member in the town is Mrs. Arnold—Bette Bell.Thinking of this, Burke, Rowler and his son all set their sights on Adeline.

Adeline shook her head slowly. Although she didn't talk about alcoholism when she talked with Mrs. Arnold in the morning, Adeline could clearly feel in her heart what Mrs. Arnold said, her sister Mary. Apart from being a little nerdy, Bell is almost a perfect girl.Perfect means, doesn't it mean that there are no bad habits?

So Adeline thought that Mary Bell should have no history of alcoholism, so who did she accompany to participate in this "al-tee"?

For a while, several people fell into silence again. It seemed that they had grasped many clues in one day, but in fact these clues were extremely trivial, and there was almost no connection between them when viewed separately. The feeling of not knowing exactly what it is makes everyone feel a little bit defeated.

Burke looked at the time, he had been out for almost 10 minutes, so he got up and asked the waiter to retrieve his coat for him, "I'm sorry everyone, I have to go back to the police station, this restaurant tastes very authentic, you slow down Enjoy it slowly! I have asked the boss to charge me the account! By the way, Adeline, the Huaxia meal last night was very delicious and seems to have the effect of "washing the marrow and cutting hair", thank you very much! Goodbye everyone !"

The dark blue woolen coat made Burke's figure look particularly tall and straight. The color of the clothes and his blue eyes complemented each other under the light, making those who were still sitting in their seats looking up at him suddenly feel his usual calmness The subtle elegance revealed in it.

It wasn't until Burke's figure disappeared into the night outside the door that Josh withdrew his gaze and coughed twice to remind the two people around him to regain their senses: "Um, don't you think Burke is not just a little policeman? "

Adeline also felt this way in her heart, but she didn't agree with Josh. After all, talking about people behind his back is not a glorious thing, and she thinks that she agrees with Burke rather than his family background behind him, so he is a It doesn't make any difference to her whether an ordinary policeman is a kid from a rich family.

Rowler didn't seem to want to talk about this topic either. Josh, who was originally excited, immediately felt a little bored, but when he thought about the rich man's treat today, he turned his boredom into appetite, and began to eat and drink happily.

In short, this French meal, although the treaters arrived late and left early, it can be regarded as a feast for the host and guest, well, at least the guests think so.

Early the next morning, Rollecker, his son, and Adeline received a text message from Burke at the same time: It has been investigated that the alcoholic is Lisa Clive, a female student in the class that Mary Bell taught before her death! The latest "al-tee" mutual aid meeting will be held at seven o'clock tonight, and I will pick you up in the evening!

Josh didn't quit his job as a car salesman after he awakened his Green bloodline. There happened to be a charity party in their company at seven o'clock in the evening. Josh had to speak at the meeting as a year-end sales representative because of his last big cass order, so at night He can only miss the appointment.

If Josh didn't go, there would be one more person participating in the Alcoholics Anonymous family, so Adeline also decided to stay at home, so that Rowler and Burke could pretend to be a father and son to attend the mutual aid meeting.

Adeline was actually very interested in the mutual aid association, and she had a strong premonition that Mary Bell and the mysterious anti-rebel army met at this mutual aid association.

However, firstly, there can only be two people who come to the Mutual Aid Association, and it would be too abrupt for her and Lilith to follow; secondly, Halloween on October 10 is getting closer and closer, and Halloween is also equivalent to the Chinese Ghost Festival. In the concept of people in Qingzhou Continent, in the days before and after the Ghost Festival, it is not suitable for babies under the age of one to go out at night. Babies are pure in physique, and they are easy to provoke ghosts and ghosts even on weekdays, let alone Ghost Festival On such a special day.

So Adeline decided to take Lilith out at night as little as possible in recent days, but who knows, on this night less than a week before Halloween, in the old Green Rowler and Burke disguised as alcoholics and their family members Going to Alcoholics Anonymous, on the night Josh dressed up to attend the company's charity gala, something happened to Lilith!
