At the moment, old Arthur is preaching his unique skill of "solving crimes with the soul": "Of course, it is the victims themselves who know the criminals best. Even if he didn't see the criminal, his soul eye would clearly see the whole criminal process ... Old Arthur talked to everyone, and his colleagues were almost calluses. As a result, when old Arthur opened his mouth, all his colleagues ran away.
Look at the clock on the wall. Arthur began to tidy up the things on the table and get ready to get off work.
At this time, the office door was pushed open and a middle-aged woman with tears came in. She told old Arthur with tears that her daughter was missing.
This man is Mrs. Val, the woman who runs a grocery store in town. She said that her 6-year-old daughter Mary left for school at 7: 00 a.m. and hasn't come back yet. Usually the daughter should be home at 4 o'clock. She went to Mary's teacher just now, and the teacher said that the child was picked up by her uncle.
"We have no relatives in this town, and Mary has no uncle." Mrs. Val cried sadly.
Obviously, Mary was kidnapped by the bad guys.
Arthur inquired about the incident in detail, crossed his chest and said, "Pray! Let Mary's soul help us catch the criminal. "
Early the next morning, Arthur visited Mary's teacher. The young female teacher said uneasily, "I'm sorry, Mary has been very good." I didn't expect her to go behind my back with that man. "
"What kind of person is he?" Arthur asked.
"30 years old, wearing a top hat, face as thin as a knife, he said, he is Mary's uncle, to take my little niece in advance. I didn't agree. But after class, I went to the office to get my homework, only to find that Mary was not in the classroom. I chased out and saw the man and Mary leave school. "
The female teacher paused and said, "It depends. Mary is familiar with that man. They seem to be talking all the way. I will come back. "
Hearing this, Arthur's eyes lit up and decided to ask Mrs. Val about her usual acquaintances. Maybe there is such a thin man among them.
Mrs. Val thought hard for a few minutes and said, "We don't know each other, but Adele, who just moved here, came to see us several times. But ed is a good man. He is very kind to Mary. He would never do such an unnatural thing. "
Arthur just smiled. He went directly to the landlord, asked for the ID card with photos of the tenant Ed, and then took it to Mary's teacher. The female teacher affirmed that it was this man who took a fancy to Mary at first sight.
The main suspect, Ed, was brought before Arthur. He shouted angrily, "Why are you arresting me? I didn't commit a crime. " Arthur shook his head slightly and said, "Don't get excited, sir, the soul will make you tell the truth."
At six o'clock that night, old Arthur was taken to the roof of the police station. He separated the guards and wanted to interrogate them alone. In order to prevent Ed from escaping, Arthur locked the exit of the stairs. Ed doesn't know what he is going to do. He is full of doubts.
At this time, the night wind blew and it was very cold. There are no clouds in the sky, and the moonlight is more gloomy. Ed's calf began to tremble.
Did you sleep well, Ed? Old Arthur suddenly asked, "Mary won't disturb you in her dream!" " "
"Why did Mary want to see me?" Ed asked doubtfully.
"Because you took her away from school?" Arthur gave chase.
"I have never done such a thing. Maybe Mary's teacher mistook one for another. There are many people who look alike in the world. "
"Then how do you know what Mary's teacher told me?"
"..." Ed shivered at once, and he regretted his wrong answer. Glancing at old Arthur, he was staring at himself. Ed really wanted to slap himself, and his heart was in a mess. At the moment, nothing can be heard on the roof except the whistling wind. Suddenly, Ed vaguely heard a girl's childish voice in the wind: "Uncle, where are you taking me?" I'm scared! "Ed looked around in a hurry. There was no one inside, only he and detective Arthur stood in front of him. Maybe there is something wrong with his ears, Ed thought.
"What's the matter with you?" Arthur was furious and pointed his sword at Ed.
"It's Mary's voice ..." Ed was tongue-tied. "Oh, I see. You scared me by recording Li Feng's words with a tape recorder. I won't be fooled by you! "
Looking at Ed's pale face, Arthur realized that he must have Mary, the damn guy. "I don't have a recorder. Please search. I think you must have heard the voice of Mary's soul. " Arthur looked at Ed sarcastically and said to him flatly.
In order to prove that there is no soul, the frightened Ed pounced on Arthur and turned all his pockets upside down, but found nothing. Arthur doesn't have a tape recorder. "that old man must have imitate Mary's voice." Ed thought. He stared at Arthur's lips, and if Arthur's mouth moved a little, it would be seen through. Suddenly, another girl's cry reached Ed's ear: "Mom, come and help me!" " "Ed turned pale with fear, his legs went limp and he collapsed.
Arthur's mouth did not move, and Ed believed that Mary's soul had come to settle accounts with him. He had to admit his crime.
It turns out that when I was in contact with Mrs. Val these days, I saw that her family was very rich, so I came up with the bad idea of kidnapping little Mary to blackmail Mrs. Val.
Little Mary was saved.
However, to Ed's surprise, the voice of "soul" is not really Mary's soul talking, but old Arthur talking "ventriloquism". Of course, you don't have to move your mouth to talk with your stomach. The sound is coming from between your nose and your teeth, and it is not very clear. In the dark without people, it becomes the voice of the legendary "soul".
