Chapter 241 A Dirty Cop

"Heh!" Ava first let out a cold laugh, then spoke sharply. "I thought you had some magical method,but what you suggested is a standard procedure in criminal investigation. We would have done iteven if you hadn’t mentioned anything. You wait here; until the case is clear, you’re not to leave! Ifyou try, I’ll arrest you and detain you for 72 hours!"

After schooling Daniel, Ava ordered her team, "Get moving and collect handwriting samples from allhotel employees. We need to replace the person who wrote this suicide note tonight."

Half an hour later, the team indeed found a matching handwriting sample. The note was written by acleaning staff member at the hotel, Mia Taylor, who was off duty at the time. Ava immediately led afew team members to Mia's apartment. By the time they arrived, however, the place was eerilyempty, and Mia wasn't answering her phone. Had Mia vanished?

In the apartment, the team found two dolls punctured with needles. Each doll was labeled with aname: one was Handsome, the other Jennflower.

"Search! Keep searching! Don't miss any corner; overlook no piece of evidence."

Even after discovering the dolls, they knew punctured dolls couldn't be submitted as evidence. Afterall, no one would believe such objects could commit murder.

Daniel picked up one of the dolls, examining it carefully. Seeing this, Shitstrong sensed anopportunity to accost him: "Scumbag, what do you think you're doing? That's evidence, and you'renot part of our team; you can’t just handle it! You better put it down! If you've left fingerprints, you’rea suspect!"

"Shitstrong, what are you doing? Are you a dirty cop? You seem rather experienced in this!" saidDaniel, handing the dolls over to Shitstrong with a chuckle. "Since you won’t let me touch them, howabout you examine them? Let's see if you know what these are and if you can crack the case."

"They're just two small dolls, big deal; they don’t mean anything."

"These dolls hold Mia's holy soul. If we track her holy soul, we can replace her unholy soul. A holy soulcan exist outside the body, but an unholy soul cannot. If we can locate Mia's unholy soul, we canreplace her person and arrest her!"

"What? Holy soul? Unholy soul? Are you a priest or something? We’re conducting an investigationhere, not praying in church!"

"Shitstrong, how about you explain how Handsome got into room 1313 and hanged himself whenthe seal on the door was intact? Are you suggesting your theory is that Mia conducted somemystical ritual, binding an evil spirit to him, and that’s why he went there to hang himself?"

Shitstrong didn’t believe in the existence of evil spirits, so his questions were meant to mock Daniel.

What he didn't expect was Daniel to actually nod in agreement after hearing him out, "Shitstrong,the only correct thing you've said tonight is that. Handsome was indeed possessed by an evil spirit,which led to his suicide. As for the murderer, I think it should be Mia!"

Just then, a team member approached.

"Sarge, we’ve found out who Mia is -- she’s Jennflower’s mother."
