Chapter 390 The Ghost in the Cloakshop

A young man wearing a black single-button morning coat, a top hat, and holding a simple cane appeared at the door.

"Hello, I'm Detective Jialin, how can I help you?"

The round-faced young man greeted him with a smile, and extended his hand politely.

And the other party also stretched out his hand.

A right hand in a black glove.

Also, there seems to be some mark on it.

Professionally and habitually, Galin scanned every detail of the opponent's appearance and movements.

Naturally, the black gloves on his hands would not be ignored by Galin.

At this time, the other party responded:

"I would like to entrust you with an investigation."

"OK."

Jialin withdrew his scrutiny, turned his left hand sideways, and motioned for the two sofas facing each other to receive guests and talk:

"Please sit down, we can talk slowly."

"If you have enough time." Galin added.

When passing the coat rack, the young man didn't take off his coat and coat, and sat directly on the inner sofa, while Galin turned and sat on another sofa.

After both of them sat down, Jialin took out a pen and paper, and began to ask about the contents of the entrustment:

"What do you want to entrust?"

"A person whose identity I cannot identify."

The young man said so.

"Is it to find out the identity?" Based on past experience, Jialin made a guess, "Is there any more detailed information?"

"I can't be sure either."

The young man asked with a slightly worried expression:

"I'm not an eyewitness either, it was seen by other people."

Such a response made Jia Lin feel a little puzzled. After looking at Ao Xing next to him, he continued to ask:

"What kind of person?"

"In a cloakroom, a statue displayed as clothing."

statue? Costume doll? Jia Lin sorted out the information in his mind, and at the same time, wrote down the keywords of "costume doll" on the paper.

"They said the costume doll would disappear at night and reappear in another clothing store during the day."

The young man spoke vividly.

Jialin didn't have any special reaction, conjectures such as using the costume model doll as a disguise to steal, prank and so on emerged in his mind, and recorded it seriously at the same time, but Osin, who was preparing tea, turned his head to look at him past.

"A cloakroom? What kind of cloakroom? Has anything been lost?"

Guessing that he was gradually leaning towards "stealing", Jialin asked.

"Lost property? In fact, I also suspected that it might be theft or something, but I didn't find anything missing, so it shouldn't be." The young man shook his head, and then named several cloakrooms and clothing stores.

"I would like to entrust you to investigate the situation of this matter. If possible, it would be better to catch this person."

With that said, he stood up, walked a few steps towards the desk, put his right hand in his pocket, turned around, and said to the round-faced youth:

"It doesn't matter if you can't catch the person. It's okay to be able to confirm the identity of the person. You don't have to worry about the rest. How do you charge?"

Jialin thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and asked: "Is this commission urgent? How long can we investigate? If it is within a week, 10 gold."

The young man responded: "The sooner the better, how about this, if you investigate within a month, I can pay you 10 gold, if you catch someone, I can pay you 15 gold."

"If it's more than a month, as long as I can investigate the news, I will also pay 5 gold."

This made Galin smile:

"Deal! Then, sir, as a deposit, you need to pay 1 gold in advance."

"No problem, as long as you can do it." The young man put the cane against the desk, took out a golden rose from his chest with his left hand, and gently patted it on the desk.

"I hope you can bring me good news as soon as possible."

Picking up the cane again with his left hand, the young man turned and left the room with "Gallin Detective Agency" hanging on the door.

Watching the young man leave, the round-faced young man Jialin immediately walked to the table, took the golden rose in his hand, tapped it lightly with his fingers, then blew on the gold coin, and put it to his ear.

However, it was also at this time that he noticed that his good partner, Ausin, seemed to be thinking about something, so he asked:

"Oshin, what are you thinking?"

"Oh, it's nothing." Osin, who came back to his senses because of Jialin's voice, glanced at the gold coin in his hand, and said, "I was just wondering why you only charged a deposit of 1 gold."

For an entrustment of about 10 gold, the down payment is about 2 to 3 gold.

Hearing this sentence, Galin smiled:

"The cloakrooms he mentioned are relatively high-end cloakrooms, and there is a luxury store that also sells and customizes jewelry."

"The black gloves that man is wearing should be the 'black gloves' of the gang near Rose Public School, which is also the logo of the Black Hand. Moreover, the logos of those people I have seen are somewhat different."

"The morning coat he's wearing is that 'Scapol' hat from the Stein Group."

"I don't recognize the top hat, but it must be made of silk."

"His cane has a special shape. Didn't we investigate it when we went to the winery before? The dead man was the host of an auctioneer. He had handled several auctions of antiques from the Hundred Days period. In addition to gold coins and vases, there is also a special cane sword."

"If it's correct, that person should be a middle-level and high-level person in the Mafia."

Galin made an inference based on the details he observed.

"Those members of the Mafia, although they are a group of villains, pay great attention to etiquette and reputation. However, if you accidentally offend them, the consequences will be disastrous."

Jialin responded by tossing the golden rose up and down.

The reason for the down payment is reputation. If the other party does not pay the commission after completing the commission, they will lose money, but the people of the Mafia

No need to charge 2 gold.

After explaining, Jialin smiled and said, "Let's go now? Go to those cloakrooms?"

Hearing this sentence, Osin also nodded, but then he said:

"Okay, I'll go upstairs to get something first."

After Jialin nodded, Osin walked to the side stairwell, walked upstairs all the way, and came to his room on the third floor.

When he took out the key to unlock the door, he found that the door was not locked.

Noticing this, Osin, who showed a puzzled expression, his eyes changed slightly, and then he entered the room cautiously.

Looking around, he came directly to a small box next to the bed.

The lock was opened! ?

The moment he discovered this, Ao Xing's eyes revealed a dangerous aura.

He quickly lifted the lid of the box.

There are some paper notebooks in the box, but there are no traces of being turned over, and they are all neatly stacked

Osin counted carefully, but did not find any notebooks or papers taken away

After confirming, Osin closed the lid of the box with a little doubt, and locked the lock.

And inside the box, in a notebook that seems to record the content of the autopsy, there is some text written on a page that is different from other pages:

[Bone picker: 1 joint bug, 6 ghost grass, spirit-melting water.]
