In response to Gregor's question, Herman stated his opinion directly, and after listening to Herman's statement, Gregor nodded and continued.
"Yes, these are not ordinary bandits. They are from North Ufeija, a group of bandits who specialize in targeting ancient artifacts."
"Bandits from Northern Ukraine? What, foreigners?!"
Listening to Greg's words, Herman's expression became very confused. He had no idea how this case was suddenly connected to the hair theft in Northern Ukraine outside of China.
Gregor did not respond to Herman's words directly, but glanced around the room again, paused slightly, and then spoke.
"There were about five people in the group, three of them were about 65 inches tall, one was about 68 inches tall, and one was probably 69 inches tall. They were all from northern Uganda, with darker skin than us, and the men had a tradition of growing beards, and the beards were larger. Most of them probably didn't speak Puget Sound, and even if they did, their accents were probably a bit strange, and you could tell they were foreigners.
"These people may not have good tempers. If you communicate with others, you may get into arguments. They carry a bunch of tools with them. These tools are often strange in shape, including strange shovels, hammers, and some bone tools that are hard to figure out what they are used for. They give people the feeling that they are from some unknown place.
"These people should not have been in Tivian for long, and they probably haven't adapted to the place yet. We may be able to find relevant clues near the port area. By the way, they may also buy clothes recently. You may go to the port area or some nearby clothing stores to ask if there are similar people who have been here..."
Gregor described to Herman the detailed images of a group of people he had never seen before. Herman, who was standing by, was stunned and said nothing after hearing what Gregor said until Gregor turned to look at him again and spoke.
"Did you hear everything I said? Do you need me to repeat it again?"
"Ah... Listen, I heard it clearly, Mr. Meschos. I didn't expect you to get such detailed results in such a short time. How did you know the characteristics of that group of criminals in such detail?"
Horman looked at Greg with a strange look in his eyes, and Greg smiled and spoke slowly in a mysterious tone.
"Some normal reasoning, plus some methods that belong to my field... Anyway, I won't tell you the specific process in detail for now. The most urgent task now is to find clues about those thieves and find the poor hostage who was kidnapped.
"Sheriff Horman, just follow my intelligence and have your people search the port area and the surrounding area. Check hotels, clothing stores, restaurants and other stores. If you find any clues, please inform me in time.
"By the way, if you have discovered the hiding place of those guys, then don't act rashly. You must not take action immediately. Come back and tell me the news. I will make arrangements."
With a stern tone, Grego spoke directly to the sheriff in front of him. The sheriff, who was full of curiosity, nodded seriously after hearing what Grego said about the methods in his field, and did not ask any more questions.
"I see. Thank you Mr. Meshhos for your assistance in the investigation. I will immediately arrange for someone to do it. But before that, do you mind if I go back to the police station and send a telegram to that place to further confirm your identity?"
"That's no problem. After all, as you can tell from my perspective, your actions involve a transfer of command. I understand that you need to be cautious, and I will explain the current situation to the bureau." Greg continued to speak after listening to Herman's words, while Herman continued.
"Well, then I will tell my men about this first."
Having said that, Herman stepped back from the collection room. After seeing Herman leave, Gregor let out a long sigh of relief, then scratched his head and murmured.
"Huh... As expected of a detective, you can find out so many things so quickly...
As he spoke, a hint of envy appeared in Gregor's eyes.
"If only I had his ability..."
…
Iwege, Ademoya.
Next to the Adelaide Church Square, in a high-end hotel, Dorothy was sitting on a comfortable sofa with a serious look on her face. Just now, with the help of Gregor's senses, she conducted a long-range investigation of the Boyle Mansion in Tivian and obtained preliminary results.
The Boyle family was invaded by a group of treasure thieves from Northern Uffiga, and Nunot was abducted by them. Their purpose was probably to find the golden scepter that could protect the Boyle family from the curse.
When Greg was investigating the Boyle Mansion, Dorothy had already asked Nephnesse to sacrifice her detailed memories of her home to Aka. Therefore, when Greg was observing the Boyle Mansion after the invasion, Dorothy also had the Boyle Mansion that had not been invaded in her mind for reference.
In this reference, Dorothy discovered that many of the cultural relics originally collected in Boyle's mansion had disappeared. These cultural relics were almost all from the Northern Black people, so it was very likely that they were stolen by people who knew the value of the relics. This was Dorothy's first judgment that the invaders were from the Northern Black people.
The first judgment point comes from the various potholes on the wall and the ground. Others may not be able to see anything from these marks, but for Dorothy, who has read the masterpieces of the tomb mechanism master and scholar-type tomb robber Berard, she can see at a glance that these marks are unusual. These marks are left by a kind of small hammer-shaped professional tomb-robbing tool, which is used to judge whether there is a dark room or mezzanine in front or behind the ground.
If you use this special hammer to knock on the wall and it makes a special sound, you can tell if there is something behind the wall. Based on the sound, you can tell what is behind the wall. Is it a secret room? Or a mechanism? Or is it the nest of a tomb-guarding creature? This hammer can tell what is behind a very thick wall. It is a common tool for determining treasure points and avoiding mechanisms in tomb robbery. In addition, Dorothy found the ashes of the talisman in the corner of the collection room. This may be the trace left by the talisman they used to find the secret room.
The third judgment point is footprints. Just as Herman said, footprints can provide many key clues. Dorothy then judged from the footprints all over the building that these footprints belonged to five people in total, and judged their approximate height from the size of the footprints.
More importantly, Dorothy saw from the patterns on the soles of the footprints that the shoes that left these footprints were not the shoes commonly worn by the Tivians, but a pair of boots that were more suitable for moving in sandy environments, and the desert climate is the characteristic of northern Ukraine.
These people came to Tivian without even having time to change their shoes, which proves that they left in a hurry or did not know enough about Tivian, which could lead to another consequence, that is, they were too cold in Tivian to buy clothes.
Although Tivian's climate is constantly cold, it is still much colder than Northern Ukraine. It is still March in Tivian now, and the latitude is much higher than Northern Ukraine. If the Northern Wu people who come here are not prepared in advance, they will be frozen. Even if they have a "cup" physique, they will definitely feel better if they can. So Dorothy asked Greg to let Herman and others pay attention to the situation in the clothing store.
It was obvious that this group of Beiwu tomb robbers were lifting up the floor and knocking on the walls for no other reason than to confirm whether there was a secret room behind it. What they wanted to find was the secret room where the Boyle family kept the golden scepter.
Fortunately, according to Nefernis's memory, the mechanism for activating the secret room was intact. Although the tomb robbers spent a lot of effort, they still failed to find the secret room. Many of Boyle's vases were broken. Some of them did not need to be broken at all, but the reason they were still broken might be the result of these people venting their anger because they could not achieve their goal. So Dorothy judged that they might not be in a very good mood now.
The reason why they failed to find the secret room despite all their efforts was because it was built by Davis. Davis himself was an absolutely experienced treasure hunter, so he was certainly aware of all the tricks used by treasure hunters. So when he built the secret room, he must have set up various targeted measures to counter them, which made it impossible for the group of people to find it after searching for a long time.
“It seems that this group of guys may be related to that prince. We still need to find them to find out the specific situation.
"But in Tivian, this is not a problem for me."
Dorothy murmured this, and then opened Adele's contact page. She still had some connections and influence in Tivian.
