Jim came forward and said doubtfully: "Do you mean these messy things are the evidence left by Merlin?!"

Cheng Shi nodded and said: "Yes, but this evidence is one of these things, and only Merlin and the murderer know it!"

Everything here is very neat, but if it is messy here, it will naturally attract people's attention!

As for why the murderer did this and chose not to take it away, it could only be because that thing was not direct evidence!

This is also the main reason why he didn't take it away, and after this thing disappears, he will expose some clues!

The murderer would simply throw that thing together with other useless things. This would be better, but it would be inconvenient to take it away!

This thing could be anything, there's no way we'd find it without any hints!"

Catherine's originally excited expression slowly disappeared: "Then what should we do now? Are we really unable to find that thing?!"

Cheng Shi shook his head and said: "We don't have a clear goal, how can we find the right clues from this pile of things?!

And we don’t have much time, so let’s take this pile of things away first, and you can find a big, sturdy bag!”

Catherine quickly found a big bag, and Cheng Shi put the things on the table into it one by one!

He memorized these things one by one. When Jim saw Cheng Shi's things, he asked doubtfully.

"We don't have much time, why are you so slow to load things up!"

Cheng Shi quickly explained: "Although I don't know which clue Merlin left, we may be able to deduce it!

So next, let’s go to Albert’s residence to search and see if we can find anything related to these things!”

When Jim heard this, he said with some emotion: "Thank you, I didn't tell you the truth at first because I was afraid that you wouldn't dare to investigate further and would remind Albert that we were suspicious of him!

I didn’t expect that you would help us investigate the case so much. I am biased against you. It might have been better if I had told you about this earlier!"

Cheng Shi then nodded and patted Jim on the shoulder: "You're welcome, this is just my duty. As for saying it now, it's actually not too late. We still have time to check it out!"

Jim nodded gratefully and carried a large bag of stuff on his back first. Cheng Shi turned to Catherine and said!

"Okay, now let's go to Albert's residence. Catherine, you should know the address. Please lead us from the front!"

By this time, Jim and Catherine had already believed Cheng Shi, because of Cheng Shi's serious attitude towards the investigation and his methodical reasoning just now!

They all made him feel that Cheng Shi was a trustworthy person, and he was also a bit unpredictable. Both of them unknowingly followed his words and acted!

Cheng Shi and Jim took turns carrying the things, followed Catherine, and soon arrived at Albert's residence!

The place Albert lived in was not a luxurious villa, but an ordinary apartment, a one-bedroom and one-living room!

Cheng Shi then used the elementary lock-picking technique he learned from Deng Xin. After several failures, Cheng Shi still allowed Cheng Shi to open the door!

After a few people entered, they discovered that there was very little furniture inside. Apart from the things necessary for daily life, there was nothing here!

The most abundant thing was a bookshelf full of foreign books. Cheng Shi stared at the foreign bookshelf and couldn't help but sigh in his heart!

The books on this bookshelf are the most likely place to find clues, but there are too many, and he doesn’t have time to read them one by one!

He had no choice but to say: "Let's search carefully and try not to move anything here. If we can't find anything to convict him, you have to leave a way out!"

Then Cheng Shi went through his clothes and found that except for the two formal black robes he usually wore, there was no other clothes.

As the only priest in the French Concession, he doesn’t have much of a job and lives purely on donations from believers, so it’s not surprising that he only has a few sets of priest clothes!

Cheng Shi didn't find any clues on it, so he put it back as it was. The three of them searched almost all the places they could!

In the end, Catherine walked up to Cheng Shi, spread out the seven oceans in her hand, and said doubtfully.

"Agent Feng, I didn't find anything big here. I only found the seven oceans he put in the drawer!"

Cheng Shi said doubtfully: "It's just this little money, shouldn't it be?!"

Catherine also said doubtfully: "Yes, there are quite a few believers in our choir, and he is not a waste of money. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have only this little money!"

Cheng Shi then asked: "Have you found any bank exchange coupons or bankbooks or anything like that?!"

Jim also came over, shook his head and said, "We searched everything and found no bankbooks!"

Cheng Shi turned to look at the books on the wall and asked in confusion: "Did he hide the bankbook in a certain book, or does he have another secret residence?!"

Cheng Shi quickly walked to the bookshelf and looked up and down. There was a lot of dust on the horizontal panels of the bookshelf, and there was no sign that the books had been moved!

He took another careful look at everything in the room, and then Cheng Shi said, "No, Albert should have another place to live!"

Jim said doubtfully: "Why do you say that?!"

Cheng Shi continued: "There is nothing for entertainment here. The only thing to pass the time is books, but he hasn't touched it for a long time!

In addition, there is only this little money to look at here, unless Albert is really an ascetic who has no interest in money!

If not, then this is not a place where you will stay for a long time, and there won’t be anything useful here!”

Catherine nodded and said: "Although he is a priest, he is not an ascetic!"

Jim said unwillingly: "What should we do? Should we just forget it?!"

Cheng Shi is still not 100% sure that Albert is the man behind the scenes, but all the evidence points to Albert!

A palm print was found in Alva's house. Of course, a palm print can't mean anything. It can only mean that he may have framed Alva!

Coupled with Reis's peculiar performance and the fact that he was a highly respected figure, Cheng Shi had to suspect that he was the man behind the scenes!

What he just said to the two of them seems to have been definitely done by Albert, and it was also said to make the two of them believe him and help him investigate the case!

But now after Cheng Shi checked Albert's residence, he understood in his heart that there was definitely something wrong with Albert!

Even if Albert is not the man behind the scenes, he must have done something shady, but the clues are now broken again!

However, Cheng Shi couldn't let these two people lose their goal of investigating the case, so he had no choice but to say with a smile.

"Albert's other residence will definitely not be far from here. We will find it soon!"
