Chapter 31 The battle begins!

Inside the police car, Ginny turned her head in confusion and looked at the villa that was gradually moving away.

Just now, after Rorschach had a private conversation with the girl, he came out without saying a word, just waved at her, and went straight back to the car.

Ginny, who was handling a homicide case for the first time, was now completely confused.

She hadn't even had a close look at the body, and before she could put into practice the investigative skills she had learned from Sherlock Holmes, Crime Scene Investigation, and Agatha Christie's detective novels, she was hurriedly taken away by Rorschach.

"Are we just going to leave like this?" Ginny asked in confusion. "The murderer hasn't been found, the scene hasn't been investigated, and the mother and daughter are obviously suspects. Are we just going to leave them like this?"

"That girl is the murderer."

Rorschach told her directly without hiding anything, then asked in a thoughtful tone, "Since we walked in, that girl named Maria has shown many abnormalities. Think carefully, what are they?"

Ginny was stunned for a moment, and began to carefully recall every detail since entering the villa. Then she asked tentatively, "Is it her makeup? A girl whose father just passed away is still wearing delicate light makeup when she shows up. It feels very abnormal."

"Good, keep going." Rorschach nodded slightly and encouraged.

"And the look in her eyes and her emotions," Ginny continued. "She was able to spend hours with a corpse without showing any fear, but when she heard you wanted to talk to her alone, she hid behind her mother in fear. That was also very strange."

The rookie detective became increasingly excited as he spoke. "Oh, right, they said they went shopping this morning, but in a wealthy family like this, that's usually done by a nanny. And the girl was wearing high heels with red YSL soles. How could a schoolgirl who just lost her father wear shoes like that?"

"Haha, very good." Rorschach was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ginny to be so observant.

Sure enough, the only person who can attract the attention of a beautiful woman is another beautiful woman.

"What a pity for her mother." Ginny suddenly sighed. "Her mother must have been kept in the dark and knew nothing about it. A daughter killing her father, what a blow it must be to her. By the way, Rorschach, even though we have no evidence now, do we really not need to keep an eye on her first?"

Rorschach didn't respond. His satisfied smile faded. He turned and asked, "You think her mother doesn't know?"

"Uh...what else? I think she's acting pretty normal." Ginny shrugged and replied.

Rorschach nodded slightly, then slowly parked the car on the side of the road. Pointing outside, he said crisply, "Get out of the car and run five kilometers after the police car."

"What?!" Ginny was bewildered. Just as she was about to ask the reason, Rorschach quickly unbuckled her seat belt and then pushed her out of the car.

"When she realizes that there is something unusual about her mother, she can come back and take the car!" Rorschach said this and drove the police car past her without stopping.

Ginny complained and yelled, "You can't do this, Rorschach, I just recovered from my concussion, I'm still a wounded soldier!"

But no matter how she shouted, the police car did not slow down at all, and disappeared from her sight after one turn.

Ginny gritted her teeth in anger. She had to chase police cars like this every day. She felt that her physical strength and endurance were almost catching up with professional athletes!

Half an hour later, inside the police station.

Ginny was panting, her police uniform soaked with sweat. She held on to the wall and searched around for Rorschach.

After asking several colleagues, she finally found Rorschach in the crowded Technical Identification Department.

He was leisurely waiting in line at the back, waiting for the police officer in front to complete the evidence identification.

Seeing Ginny, Rorschach casually asked, "Have you found the key point?"

Ginny glared at him fiercely, then took a few deep breaths to calm herself before responding smugly, "That mother is deliberately hiding her daughter. Ever since we walked in, she's been intentionally or unintentionally keeping Maria behind her. If it's to protect her daughter, then she's being too deliberate. This suggests she knows her daughter committed murder, so she doesn't want Maria to be exposed to the police too much."

"Very good." Rorschach nodded with satisfaction and looked at her seriously. "The seventh lesson of a good police officer is to never overlook any details. Especially in a murder case like this, you must maintain a keen eye for observation. Any detail that seems out of place deserves repeated scrutiny."

Ginny snorted. Although she wanted to ignore Rorschach, she couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Since the mother and daughter are so suspicious, why don't they arrest them and interrogate them first?"

"How can we arrest him without evidence? Just based on our little guesswork?"

Rorschach asked back, pointing to the long line in front, "The murder weapon Maria used to kill the students is being identified, Corey. Just wait. Although we can't find fingerprints, we might be able to find other clues on it." "How long will that take?" Ginny looked at the long line in front and frowned impatiently.

Because of the gun battles that occurred in the city in recent days, there were mountains of murder weapons that needed to be identified, and there were at least twenty more police officers waiting in line ahead of them.

But then Ginny suddenly noticed that the other window in the corner was empty.

"Why don't we go over there?" Ginny pointed at the empty window in confusion. "Isn't there someone inside?"

Rorschach followed her finger and then shook his head. "Believe me, it will be even slower over there."

But Ginny didn't believe him at all and dragged him to the deserted window in the corner.

"Um, hello...Mr. Flash." Ginny glanced at the name tag on his chest, which had "Flash" written on it.

She asked politely, "We'd like to inquire about the murder weapon at the scene of the Sterling School homicide in the North District."

Inside the window was a middle-aged white man with a bloated figure and a somewhat dull look in his eyes.

When he saw Ginny, the corners of his mouth began to rise slowly, slowly, and then slowly again. Time seemed to have slowed down countless times for him.

"Hello, hello. What school are you talking about?"

Ginny was stunned. Such a simple sentence and smile actually took the other party nearly a minute!
She glanced at Rorschach and found that he was looking at her with a suppressed smile, obviously well aware of his slow-motion replay style.

Ginny bit her lip and continued patiently, "Northern District... Sterling... Noble... School..."

Rorschach, standing aside, leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, looking at Ginny with a smile.

The girl was pressing her face against the window, puffing out her cheeks, speaking word by word with a cautious expression, afraid that the other party might not hear her clearly again.

Rorschach suddenly discovered that this rookie was quite cute.

Although a bit arrogant and willful, her personality is very likable.

Thinking of this, he suddenly realized that the evaluation date was approaching. How many points should he give Ginny and what kind of evaluation should he give her?

At this moment, a rapid ring interrupted his thoughts.

Rorschach looked down and saw that it was Martin calling, who might have found some important clue.

However, as soon as the call was connected, his face darkened.

It was Gus's voice on the other end of the line!
"Rorschach, this is the first, but definitely not the last."

The next second, gunshots rang out and the call was disconnected.

But Rorschach could still hear Martin's painful cries from the echo of the phone!

Meanwhile, outside a school in the South District.

Carl, the youngest son of the Gallagher family, was skipping school and hiding under the wall to smoke secretly.

Suddenly, a car stopped in front of him.

Before he could react, a gun was already pressed against his forehead!
