What is the biggest difference between humans and animals?
A wise man once said, it's the creation and use of tools.
That's why Arthur hoped to be human.
Therefore, without any burden and filled with anticipation, he looked at Linda Camille, hoping to hear more information about Clay's death.
Under Arthur's gaze, the young girl beca sowhat nervous, imdiately turning her gaze towards 17 Xilin Street, and after rely a few seconds, a look of confusion appeared on her face.
"How is it, do you see anything?"
Arthur inquired.
"No, I didn't see anything, but I can feel there a... mockery, ostentation, and calm!"
Linda Camille said, frowning.
Calm?
She couldn't understand why she would feel calm at a cri scene.
Neither could Arthur.
However, upon seeing Linda looking at him uncertainly, the young 'Spirit dium' chuckled softly and subconsciously wanted to pat the girl's head but rembered that she his little aunt, which clearly wasn't appropriate.
Instead, he gently patted her arm.
"Linda, believe , you've already done well enough—your level of skill already surpasses most people,"
Arthur said softly.
Seeing no disappointnt in Arthur's eyes and even receiving approval, the girl imdiately nodded happily and didn't continue to ask about how she would compare to Arthur—deep in her heart, she never dared to hope to surpass Arthur, the reporter also said, Arthur was not only a perfect inheritor of the 'Spirit dium' Bloodline but exceeded it!
With astonishing, terrifying Talent, he surpassed everyone!
She, of course, couldn't do that.
She just needed to surpass most people.
She at least had to deliberately stand behind Arthur silently, able to watch his figure from afar.
Co on!
Linda, you can do it!
The Kledos Family is born extraordinary!
The girl cheered herself on silently in her heart, while Arthur's gaze drifted towards the carriage—inside was another girl, Edith.
As the daughter of the Bernice family, it was sowhat strange for her to be in the carriage at this ti.
After all, her brother had died, and her parents were still grieving.
"Edith injured her leg when she was a child,"
Linda imdiately explained for her friend.
"I see,"
Arthur said, bowing slightly towards the direction of the carriage.
The girl inside the carriage, wearing a veil, promptly returned the gesture.
"Edith's really pitiable, if it weren't for damaging her leg when falling out of a tree, she would be chased by all the n in South Los by now,"
Linda sighed.
Arthur did not contest that.
Although the veil concealed her features, Arthur could vaguely make out her delicate countenance.
At the sa ti, Arthur was curious why Edith's illness lingered.
With the Bernice family's wealth, it simply shouldn't be possible.
Linda noticed Arthur's curiosity and promptly explained,
"The reason I say Edith is pitiable is because of this—when she fell from the tree, she went straight into a hole between the roots, which was completely hidden from the outside view. Moreover, Edith had fainted at the ti, and by the ti people found her, it was already the next day.
And in her efforts to climb out of the hole, Edith disregarded her injuries, which caused irreversible damage to her leg."
Arthur nodded in understanding, then pointed towards 17 Xilin Street.
Linda promptly waved at Arthur, understanding his intent.
"Be careful!"
As he was leaving, Arthur offered a word of caution.
"Don't worry, my mother told about the dangers of being a 'Spirit dium'—I'm ready!"
Linda said, at the sa ti taking a box off the carriage and showing it to Arthur.
Recognizing the familiar design, Arthur instantly identified it as the 'Kledos Family's Spirit dium Box.'
As for where it ca from?
It must have been Old Charlie giving it to Ms. Camille.
It might have been for rembrance.
It might also have been for self-defense.
However, no matter what, Arthur couldn't help but curse Old Charlie in his heart—
"You really spent a fortune chasing won!"
"Use it well, and you'll find the world has beco different."
Having said that, Arthur headed towards No. 17 Xilin Street, while Linda nodded vigorously.
At this mont, the girl fully believed in what Arthur had said.
Even though so of his words might seem utterly absurd to others.
For instance: The Kledos Family is born extraordinary.
Inside No. 17 Xilin Street, Malz was still busy. Simon's questioning wasn't going smoothly; the neighbors around claid they hadn't heard any unusual sounds.
As a result, the search area expanded—Dico and Simon, along with their team, began investigating Clay's circle of friends, especially those who often attended the salons.
And the old sheriff's busyness stemd from Mrs. Bernice.
The lady wished to take her son's body ho.
In response, the old sheriff ntioned the police departnt's rules.
But Mrs. Bernice insisted on her view and suggested she could donate two carriages to the police departnt.
To this, the old sheriff stated that while rules are rules, they could still be discussed.
When Arthur arrived, Mrs. Bernice had already offered to donate three carriages, and the old sheriff looked at Arthur expressionlessly. Following Arthur's nod, the old sheriff imdiately said—
"Mrs. Bernice, thank you for your generosity.
Do you need to send soone to help you transport Clay's body?"
"No need."
Mrs. Bernice shook her head with red-rimd eyes.
After that, the lady bowed to Arthur.
"Mr. Kledos, you are a true 'Spirit dium,' thank you for everything you've done for Clay.
If only I could've found you sooner, maybe, just maybe..."
A sob cut her off.
Mr. Bernice comforted his wife again.
"Please accept my condolences."
Arthur said softly.
Mr. Bernice helped his wife away. As they reached the door, the gentleman turned his head, revealing the sole emotion in his eyes—
I want others to mourn as well!
Arthur nodded slightly.
After the Bernice family and Linda Camille left, Dico was the first to rush back—
"Chief, consultant, Clay was such an idiot, a moron.
He always did strange things and then boasted about his bravery to others.
He even urinated into other people's drinks."
The fifth-level police officer couldn't resist complaining as soon as he returned.
"So, there should be many people who got along well with him."
The old sheriff sighed.
No one wants to be a fool, but everyone likes to amuse themselves with a fool.
This makes the fool believe he has many friends.
And it turns those who amuse themselves at the fool's expense into friends with a common interest.
Friend and friend, both are no friends.
"Hmm, we need to question more than thirty young people, and each one of them is no simple matter, each with either a wealthy father or a wealthy mother.
This is going to be a long task.
Simon has already gone to the first place: Jody's house."
As he spoke, Dico looked towards Arthur.
The fifth-level officer was hoping their miraculous consultant would have a better way.
Otherwise, he reckoned he wouldn't be able to return ho for another two days and see his daughter.
"Don't worry, we'll have results soon."
Arthur spoke with a calm tone.
The young 'Spirit dium' said this initially to soothe everyone's restless emotions, but in the very next mont after his words fell, a patrol officer who had been out with Simon burst in and said in a low voice—
"Police Chief, consultant, Jody is dead!"
Instantly, Malz and Dico turned their heads to look at Arthur.
