chapter 16 I didn't expect you to be so bad

Through the open window, you can see a corner of the community and the streets in the distance. Cars were coming and going on the street, and strange people were coming and going. People built cities, but they got lost in them. 1 "Edgar, what did you find?"Elaine was a little out of breath. Edgar Austin shook his head, "No, but I always feel like something is wrong." "What's wrong?" Edgar Austin said: "It's so clean here. There's not even any extra dust in the gaps on the floor. It looks like it's been vacuumed." "Didn't Professor Santiago's maid say she didn't clean it?" Edgar Austin said: "The maid at Professor Santiago's house didn't clean it, but couldn't the murderer clean it? He was worried about leaving any traces. After killing Professor Santiago, he cleaned all the places where he moved. Your police technical team couldn't find him. It’s normal for him to leave even the slightest trace.” "It's really possible, but..."Elaine looked at Edgar Austin with strange eyes, "The gap in the floor is so small, can you see how much dust is inside?" Edgar Austin avoided her question and said, "Where is the vacuum cleaner? Take me to see it." "It's in the utility room. I'll take you there."Elaine did not ask how Edgar Austin could clearly see what was going on inside the cracks in the floor. She took Edgar Austin to a storage room in the villa. There are cleaning equipment, mops, vacuum cleaners, buckets, etc. in the storage room, as well as some other sundries, but they are all neatly packed. "Has your police technical team checked this place?"Edgar Austin asked. Elaine thought for a moment, "A colleague came to see it, but he only took a brief look and did not check it carefully." Edgar Austin walked to the mop and his left eye twitched slightly. The wooden handle of the mop was suddenly magnified in his left eye, and everything on the surface of the wood was clearly visible to him. He didn't use a magnifying glass, but he could see more clearly than a magnifying glass. The handle of the mop is very clean, without leaving any fingerprints or even any water stains. Edgar Austin was even more sure of his guess, that is, the murderer must have cleaned the scene, and he even wiped the cleaning utensils used to clean the scene one by one after cleaning. There is only one explanation, because if Professor Santiago's maid cleaned the house, then what she wanted to do must be to rest instead of wiping the handle of the mop. "Edgar, you are so weird today. Just now you were lying on the ground looking at the cracks in the ground, and now you are looking at the mop. Are you helping me solve the case?"Elaine's curiosity became even more intense. "Stop talking."Edgar Austin walked towards the vacuum cleaner. Elaine raised her mouth in dissatisfaction, "You look like a detective, but you've never done this before, right? Are you okay? If we don't find anything, let's go for a walk. If we're lucky, we can bump into each other. Those two suspects. Hey, I'm talking to you, do you hear me?" She would definitely not shut up, but Edgar Austin did. While Elaine was nagging, he had already finished checking the handle of the vacuum cleaner. The result is the same, the handle of the vacuum cleaner has been wiped down and is as clean as if it had just left the factory. His eyes suddenly fell on the dust storage tube of the vacuum cleaner. The black plastic of the dust storage tube suddenly disappeared from his sight, and the contents inside also came into his sight. The dust bin has not been cleaned, and it still contains some debris, dust, carpet fibers, etc. A small piece of nail and a strand of hair embedded in the crack of the nail suddenly came into Edgar Austin's sight. Not only that, he also saw a trace of dark red blood remaining on the nail! Although the murderer was very cunning and careful, he still left evidence! But who can find such evidence except Edgar Austin, who has the power of clairvoyance? Edgar Austin couldn't help but smile. Although he was not a detective, and he had no experience as a detective, with the extraordinary ability of his left eye, he was a born detective! "What are you laughing at?"Elaine was full of questions. Edgar Austin didn't say anything. He took out the dust container of the vacuum cleaner and walked out. "What are you doing?"Elaine chased Edgar Austin out of the storage room. Edgar Austin returned to the living room, found a newspaper, opened the dust bin and dumped the garbage inside on the newspaper. Then he carefully dug through the dust and carpet fibers to reveal the tiny fragment of a fingernail hidden inside. "Are you talking?"Elaine didn't notice the small piece of nail, and she couldn't understand what Edgar Austin was doing. Edgar Austin carefully picked up the small piece of fingernail wrapped in a tissue, then handed it to Elaine's eyes and said with a smile, "Did you see it? This is the evidence left by the murderer." "This...you?"Elaine stared at the nails in the tissue in stunned silence. Edgar Austin said: "The blood on this nail should belong to the murderer, and there is also a hair of the murderer. With these two things, you can check the murderer's DNA, and then find the murderer's true identity from your police database. With such evidence, you can make a detailed report to the superiors. You have both witnesses and material evidence in hand, and you have solved this case." Elaine was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came over and secretly kissed him on the cheek, then laughed and said: "I knew it, I knew it... Haha, Edgar, you are really my lucky star!" Edgar Austin froze as if his acupuncture points were tapped, and his whole body felt bad. Elaine glanced at Edgar Austin and raised the corners of her mouth, "I didn't expect you to be so bad. Are you just having random thoughts?" Edgar Austin was about to cry but had no tears. She had said everything, what else could he say? Elaine took out her cell phone, "I'm going to ask someone from the technical team to come over. With such important evidence, it will be easy to find out the suspect's true identity." Edgar Austin suddenly turned around and held down her hand, "You are stupid. If you call back, Major will interfere with it again. He can make the technical team slow down by doing whatever he wants. You were dismissed after a week. , if he uses the evidence we found to solve the case, it will be a great achievement immediately." Elaine frowned, "What should we do?" Edgar Austin said: "Call the leader who promoted you and ask him to send someone over. You can also complain to him and make a small report about Major. That Major is always against you, don't you want to take revenge on him? This is an opportunity.” "Gee, Edgar, I really didn't realize you were such a bad person. I'll call Director Ronan right now."Elaine smiled and dialed a new number. "I'm going to the study."Edgar Austin turned around and walked to the study next to the living room. There is an ancient desk made of golden nanmu in the study room, and two large bookcases, also made of golden nanmu. This kind of wood looks brilliant with golden light and flowing light and shadow. You can tell at a glance that it is valuable collection-level furniture. "I'm afraid this desk and bookcase cost hundreds of thousands, right? This Professor Santiago is really rich."Edgar Austin thought in his heart, and then walked to the bookshelf. There are many books on the bookcase, including professional books on archeology, literary classics, and some miscellaneous notes. There are many types. "Professor Santiago died because of a key. How valuable must this key be to be worth killing by the two suspects? The information Elaine showed me said that the key might have opened some kind of warehouse door, and the patterns on the key were also Maybe it's part of the map... With such a complicated matter, it's impossible for Professor Santiago to leave only that bit of research information, right?"Edgar Austin's mind quickly shifted to the case. In fact, if he finds the evidence left by the murderer, he will be done with it. However, he became very interested in the cast iron key. He couldn't help but think back to the scene of welding the key, and the faces of the man in the suit and the sexy girl. Standing in Professor Santiago's study, he had a very strange feeling that Professor Santiago might be hiding something, but that thing had not been found by the police or the person who killed him. "Since you agreed to help Elaine, let's help her to the end and find clues to help her catch the murderer... Who knows that I have seen everything? Just treat it as a tourist fee."Edgar Austin smiled mockingly, and then , his left eye twitched slightly, and everything in the study suddenly became "transparent"...
