Chapter 2 Stolen Corpse

"The teacher's body... was stolen?"

Felling was shocked, did not expect such a thing to happen.

Then he turned ashen and asked.

"What did the other party steal the teacher's body, do you know who did it?"

Ray Romano was someone he respected and helped him a lot. Now that the teacher's body was stolen, he was completely outraged.

"I don't know, I have called the police. These police officers are here to investigate this matter."

Josie said with a very ugly face.

The sudden death of his father made him very uncomfortable, and now his father's body has been stolen, which makes him even more sad.

"Sir, may I ask your name, and what is your relationship with Mr. Ray Romano?"

Seeing Fei Lin coming, a female police officer with brown hair in her twenties came up and questioned Fei Lin.

"I'm Ferrin Sookes, his student."

Flynn replied.

"Did Mr. Ray Romano have a grudge against anyone, especially recently?"

The female police officer continued to question.

"Do the police suspect that the person who stole the teacher's body is someone who has a grudge against the teacher?"

Fei Lin was keenly aware of the hidden meaning of the female police officer's words and couldn't help asking.

"The case is still in the detection stage, the details are inconvenient to disclose, please answer the question."

The female police officer said seriously.

"Feel sorry."

Felin apologized, and after recalling it for a while, replied.

"Since working, I have less contact with the teacher, but as far as I know, the teacher has a good relationship with the people around, and there is no one to complain about."

"Did you attend the funeral yesterday? Did you find anything unusual?"

The female police officer continued to ask.

"I attended yesterday's funeral, and nothing unusual was found at the funeral."

Flynn shook his head.

The female police officer did not ask any further questions, and left with several other police officers shortly after.

Obviously they should be looking for clues to detect this corpse theft.

It's just that, from the inquiry just now, they didn't seem to get any useful information.

Such a thing happened, Fei Lin did not rush back to Fei Lin Laboratory, he looked at Josie and suggested.

"Mr. Romano, while letting the police detectives, I suggest hiring detectives to investigate, they are more efficient than the police."

People who can act as detectives are mostly capable people.

Without the ability, they would not be able to make a living in this profession.

After all, police officers do not need pay, but they do need pay, and the pay is often not low.

Josie thought about it, agreed with Fehling's suggestion, and asked.

"Mr. Flynn, do you know a detective who is good at this?"

"I don't know anyone, but I heard about a detective named Caffy Colon, who is very good at this kind of disappearance. If you don't have a better candidate, I suggest hiring this detective."

Flynn said.

Soon after, Fehling and Josie got into a taxi, and after driving for half an hour, the taxi stopped in front of a detective's office.

Bang, bang, bang!

After knocking on the door, the two pushed the door and entered the detective's office.

There are desks, sofas, coffee tables and other items inside the detective office. The room is not big, but it is exquisitely furnished.

At this time, a man was sitting at the desk.

The man is in his thirties, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, a white shirt and a black vest.

Because of the cold weather, I was wearing a gray coat outside. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

"Please take a seat."

The man asked Feline and Josie to sit down on the sofa.

did not rush to ask the two of them about their intentions, but after pouring a cup of black tea for each of them, he sat on the sofa opposite the two and asked.

"You two, I'm Detective Caffy Colon, what's the matter with your visit?"

"Mr. Colon, I'm Josie Romano. Just last night, my father's grave was dug up and his body was stolen. I would like to entrust Mr. Colon to investigate." 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺

Josie explained his purpose.

"Is the body stolen? Mr. Romano, I am happy to accept the commission, but before I do, I must remind you that my commission fee is very high, as high as fifty gold pounds."

Caffy said.

"No problem, as long as you can find my father's body."

Josie Romano agreed without haggling.

Maybe after bargaining, the commission fee can be reduced, but now he is not in that mood at all.

"Very well, sir, I accept your commission."

Caffee stretched out his hand and shook it with Josie.

…

The cemetery outside the city, Feline, Josie, and Kaffey came here.

Fehling chose to follow.

Ray Romano was his teacher, someone he respected who had helped him immensely, so he chose to help.

After all, if the corpse is found, whether it is to capture the corpse thief or to transport the corpse back, it will require manpower.

And he also wanted to know who exactly stole the teacher's body, and why did the other party steal the teacher's body.

The three of them walked in the cemetery, towards Ray Romano's grave.

There are still crows on the branches of the branches that have lost all leaves. I don’t know if they are crows from yesterday.

The crow looked at the three people who came, and those **** eyes seemed to move with the movement of the three people.

In the entire cemetery, there was no one but the three of them, and the cloudy sky had been shrouded in darkness, and the atmosphere was inexplicably creepy.

"asshole!"

Seeing the tomb dug up, Josie's face was ashen, her fists clenched tightly, suppressing her anger.

And Fehling's face was also very ugly.

Ray Romano was a man he respected, but after his death, the body was disturbed and there was no peace, which made him very angry.

"Mr. Cologne, please, please find my father's body for me."

Strongly suppressed his anger, Josie looked at Caffey and asked.

"Rest assured, this is my job."

Kaffi nodded and started to enter work mode.

He first carefully looked at the tomb that had been dug up, then circled the tomb and looked around.

Although the fee is high, he is indeed a capable person, and soon, he will find out.

"Please come here!"

He greeted Ferrin and Josie, who walked over.

"This footprint is very new and has not been left for a long time. I suspect it is a footprint left by tomb robbers."

Kaffi said, pointing to a footprint on the ground.

"Could it be left by someone who came to the cemetery to sweep the grave?"

Felin looked at the footprints and asked suspiciously.

was just a footprint. He didn't understand why Kaffi thought the footprint was left by a tomb robber.

"There are lush weeds in this direction, and the road is difficult to walk. If you are a grave sweeper, you will not leave the cemetery in this direction."

"In addition, the time left by the footprints should not be long. Although I am not sure, there is a high possibility that it was left by tomb robbers."

Caffey explained.

"I see."

After listening to Kaffey's explanation, both Fehring and Josie were stunned, and they couldn't help but look forward to Kaffey's ability.

Using this footprint as a clue, Kafi began to follow.

Because there has been no rain in recent days, the footprints are not coherent and cannot be traced all the way through the footprints.

But Kafi has a very good way to track it all the way.

Sometimes, he used the trampled weeds as a trail.

Sometimes, he used the trampled dead branches as clues.

Occasionally, he used torn cobwebs as clues.

…

Felling and Josie were simply eye-opening. In their eyes, very ordinary things can often become clues for Kaffi to follow.

With the two of them, Kaffi left the cemetery from the side, entered the forest near the cemetery, and walked in the forest.

After walking for about an hour, an animal carcass appeared in front of him, and the three walked forward to check.

This is a gray-haired, four-foot-long animal carcass with a pool of dried blood under it.

"How come there is a dead dog here?"

Josie exclaimed in surprise.

"No, it's not a dog's corpse, it's a wolf's corpse."

Kaffy shook his head and said.

"Dogs tend to have drooping ears, whereas this corpse's ears were erected vertically."

"And, compared to dogs, its snout is longer and more pointed, and its muzzle is wider, all of which are characteristic of wolves."

"It just happened to appear in front of us. Could it be killed by tomb robbers?"

Fehling asked.

Kaffi didn't answer immediately, but squatted down and looked at the wolf's corpse and the surroundings.

On the neck of this wolf, there is a ferocious wound with exposed flesh and blood, and a large piece of flesh and blood is missing, which should be the fatal wound of this wolf.

And around, there are traces of messy ground rolling.

He had a judgment and said.

"It shouldn't be killed by a tomb robber, unless the tomb robber likes to fight like a beast and has the habit of eating raw flesh and blood."

The three of them continued to move forward. At this time, the sky had already dimmed, and it would be dark soon.

"Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo..."

In the forest, an unknown bird made a low chirping sound.

In the sky that was about to darken, it was inexplicably scary.

And the surrounding dense trees, under the blowing of the evening wind, swayed from time to time, as if there was something in between.

Felin felt a little hairy for no reason, and couldn't help but get closer to Josie and Kaffey.

And Josie seemed to be a little uneasy, he looked left and right, and said to Kaffi.

"Mr. Cologne, it's getting dark, why don't we go back to the city today and investigate again tomorrow?"

"Mr. Romano, you are the employer. If this is your decision, I will follow it, but I want to remind you that the longer the time passes, the less likely it will be recovered."

Caffy stopped and said to Josie.

"Then... let's continue."

Josie gritted her teeth. Although she felt uneasy, she decided to continue the investigation.

"Um."

Kaffi nodded.

For the current situation, he seems to have expected it.

I saw him take out a bamboo tube from the gray coat, and after opening it, it turned into a torch.

is lit with a match, and the orange light glows in the woods.

Caffy held a torch in front, and the three continued to search forward.

The light of the ?? torches shone on the surrounding trees, casting exaggeratedly elongated black shadows.

Feelin walked at the end, looking at the dark shadows formed by the light of the torches, not only did he not relax, but he became more and more hairy.

As the torch moved, the dark shadow changed, as if it had come to life.

made him worry about whether there would be a devil hiding in these shadows and would jump out at any time.

"who…?"

Kafei, who was walking at the front, suddenly let out a low drink, and Fei Lin quickly looked away from the shadows around him and looked forward.

saw only the front, a person with his back to them.

The man lowered his head and seemed to be eating something.

Seeing this person's back, he was inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen a similar back somewhere.

He didn't see it, but Josie, who was in front of him at this time, seemed to see an extremely strange scene, and his face was already pale.

Felin didn't recognize it, but Josie recognized it at a glance. The back of this man was very similar to his father, almost exactly the same.

Moreover, the clothes this man wore were the same as the clothes his father wore when he was buried.
