Chapter 661 Theorizing the Crime

The streets of Atlantic City are relatively modern and quite clean.

Melina had never been here before. As she walked along the street, she was extremely curious about the various signboards and billboards.

“This place looks so special…”

"Half of Atlantic City is under the ocean. We are still on the upper level. The lower level is a city covered by a huge glass window surrounded by the ocean. That is the real desperate situation."

Paddy said.

The two of them were choosing clean clothes in a clothing store on the street.

They don't want to go to the case in clothes that make it difficult for them to move.

Especially Paddy.

After she moved, Melina realized how much damage Heidi had caused her, to her waist, shoulders, back... The most dangerous one was a blow near the femoral artery, so deep that the bone was visible and Heidi's factor was attached. Fortunately, Paddy used the factor to forcibly suture the wound, and not even much blood seeped out.

In this state, her clothes naturally became a little tattered.

I have to say that this little Huanglong has a good figure.

There are actually muscles.

Melina feasted her eyes.

"Guest, are you buying these clothes for your sister?"

The waitress had a dazed look in her eyes, and she looked up at the air while speaking. After a moment, she seemed to have received some message, and said with a blushing face, "Your sister is so lucky..."

Melina looked at Paddy strangely.

Isn't the banshee's ability a little too typical?

Transparency, common sense revision…

"Who is she talking to?" Melina vaguely sensed the state of the factor, but this was a 'cognitive vision' formed by modifying the factor ratio in the other person's body.

Melina couldn't enter the other party's cognitive vision, so she didn't know what Paddy had arranged.

"Talking to a typical Holheim banshee."

Paddy says:
"This Holheim witch has a typical Holheim appearance, with light blond hair, passionate and deep green eyes, a small nose, and eye sockets that easily show shadows. She has an elegant temperament and is about 1.77 meters tall."

It sounds like the G-Force.

This guy Paddy... knows a lot, doesn't he?

"Why only one?"

"You probably don't have any experience in committing crimes." Paddy shared his own experience in committing crimes. "If Heidi wants to pretend, she will ask all the undercover police to track us down according to the standard of two people. The identity I fabricated will not stand up to scrutiny."

"At this point, the difference between one person and two people is huge. They will focus on those 'duos' whose identities cannot be explained, rather than a woman from Holheim."

After buying the clothes and other things, Paddy obediently took out the money and put it on the table, then he and Melina borrowed the dressing room here.

After changing clothes.

Melina and Paddy are about to start figuring out how to track down the perpetrator.

But first, some intelligence...

……

Atlantic City Criminal Investigation Bureau, 3rd floor, Archives Room.

Even though Melina was fearless, she was still a little scared when she was being hunted and arrived at someone else's lair.

Paddy was not at all scared, it was like he was back home.

She gently tapped a few symbols on the panel of the archive room.

The bookshelves on both sides began to flip over, revealing a brand new bookshelf.

"file."

"You look to the left and I look to the right."

Paddy said this and went up to work.

Melina glanced at her back.

I even started to thank Heidi. Thanks to Heidi for clearing Paddy up, otherwise he would probably be helpless now.

...

This time the golden honey wine mystery is of a completely different nature from previous ones.

If the previous one was just a crime of passion, then this time it was a long-planned and sophisticated crime. The method used was completely an improvement on the first one, and it was not just a simple "idol crime".

It's completely different from the gimmicks in the newspapers.

The detectives speculated that the perpetrator of this crime wanted to draw the detectives' attention to the idols. There were quite a few idol groups that appeared in the custody bureau these days... The detectives were under a lot of pressure, so they naturally frequented the nearby underground idol street.

In such a complicated situation, it is naturally difficult to trace.

Because this kind of crime is not done by "idols performing in the storage center", but "anyone who passes by and has idol props can do it."

The reason why there were no incidents in the past period of time was that many people believed that the custodian would learn from its lessons...

Plus the added manpower gave the criminals a false impression.

"It's under strict guard."

But many times, adding more staff does not actually increase the intensity of supervision.

For example, if Sonia had 1000 clockwork cats watching Melina's every move to prevent her from entering her villa, Melina might still go in casually and have a party before leaving. But if she had one Dorothy watching Melina, that would be enough.

This is an extreme example though.

But 'using the right people' is much more reliable than 'using more people'.

The defense here is visibly lax, so it can only fool outsiders...an expert can tell it works at a glance.

So... the criminal must be an expert in crime, or in other words, a premeditated and highly intelligent criminal.

Melina scrolled down the files and saw the efforts made by the agents.

Tracking on a magical level is done through various spells and sigils.

like water off a duck's back.

The criminal used a substitute puppet to interfere with the prophecy.

He also placed idol substitute dolls in famous cities in the seven kingdoms to disperse the magic factors of the pursuit, and then purchased idol group support items from 134 agencies to track the pursuit factors to each idol.

Coverage is in the thousands.

Not to mention that the criminal might not be an idol, even if the criminal is among these idols, it is obviously impossible to track down all these tens of thousands of idols.

Especially since it also contains hundreds of legendary banshees.

It has to be said that this might be a situation that even Melina is a little helpless about.

"Melina, any new ideas?" Paddy looked over.

Melina touched her chin:

"He looks like a seasoned veteran."

she says:

"It must be a banshee who committed the crime. The criminal's magic factor should not be too strong. At the same time, the criminal is good at pharmacy and can dilute the golden honey wine into precious raw materials for potions for sale. The first time she committed the crime... she probably didn't have much money in her bank account, but the second time she was more complete."

Paddy shook his head slightly:

"No, this is a novice offender. Although he is very talented, he is definitely a novice."

she says:

"The way this gang commits crimes is too theoretical, a bit like...how should I put it? You should have participated in a course group when you were in school?"

“I have.”

"So let's say you're still in a class group, and the professor asks you to write a paper on how to commit a crime, and you start creating theories based on what you've learned."

Paddy's eyes flickered:

"This crime is similar to the state I hypothesized. It's very theoretical, very theoretical."
