Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 160 Itinerary
Old Theon doesn't seem to know sign language either.

Older law enforcement officers like him generally possess more technical skills and experience than academic knowledge. They have long since missed the most efficient age for learning, and if they have free time, they would rather lie among the women in a pleasure house.

For Milo, it seems a bit too late to cram for sign language at this critical juncture.

But this is the most effective way he can think of to communicate with his shadow, because he can't hear the shadow's voice; he can only see the shadow's silhouette making movements.

……

“I’m not trying to discourage you, but if it involves Solomon, I think our investigation might not go very smoothly. At least we won’t find any valuable clues in Nanwei City.” Old Theon’s tone was calm, as if similar situations had happened many times before and he was used to it.

Law enforcement officers may be seen as the most intimidating group by the general public, but from their perspective, they also have their moments of helplessness. This helplessness can be summarized as the situation when their cases involve the church, Solomon, and the aristocracy.

Even the most intimidating person in a black trench coat would be helpless when faced with these three groups.

Because even the highest court in the law enforcement system cannot do anything about these three forces.

"Even if we have the evidence now, it's not enough?" Milo pointed to the assassin's corpse on the table.

At least one thing is certain now: the assassin came from the Solomon gang, and that is strong evidence.

Old Theon glanced at Milo and said calmly, "So, according to your plan, we'll open an investigation into this assassination and designate a soldier who once received six Medals of Honor as the murderer. How many people do you think will support this?"

"So that's what the J-Woman Medal is for." Milo chuckled sarcastically. "Speaking of which, didn't the leaders say they'd give me one too when the Icam case ended? Why haven't we heard anything about it yet?"

"You'd have to ask the royal family, hehe. They might have forgotten. When it comes to honor, who knows, maybe one day you'll die a heroic death, and they'll remember." When it comes to being sarcastic and sarcastic, old Theon is a senior to Milo.

"We can't just let Joey die for nothing, can we?" Milo shrugged.

"The autopsy report shows that this guy already had extensive vascular blockage before he died, and a small part of his brain was close to stopping functioning. That means even if he hadn't been shot, he wouldn't have lived for more than a few days." Old Theon raised his eyebrows: "So strictly speaking, it wasn't a wasted death."

"Did it mention the specific reasons? For example, did this guy already have a disease like thrombosis?" Milo took the autopsy report from Old Theon and started looking through it.

“No, we found a recent medical report for this guy. The report shows that while his health isn’t exactly good, it’s not bad enough to kill him.” Old Theon shook his head.

"In other words, the symptoms only appeared recently."

Perhaps this has something to do with the copper ring and the shadow?
All strange sights and experiences are linked to clairvoyance. The Scarlet Witch has made it clear on this point: the level of clairvoyance determines a creature's perception. Whether one can see strange things and understand them depends on clairvoyance.

But when ordinary people face all this, the most common reaction is to fall into chaos, madness, or even die in bizarre ways.

These negative symptoms can be collectively referred to as sequelae.

Just like Milo, who repeatedly fell into the memories of the dead.

……

"When was Joey's last medical report?" Milo suddenly asked old Theon.

“Forty days ago, that is… the beginning of last month,” old Theon replied. “Hmm…” Milo nodded.

He clearly remembered that yesterday at the cemetery, when Joey mentioned that he first clearly saw Maggie's shadow, he said the date was "the 12th of last month".

At the beginning of the month, Joey was in good physical condition.

Before the 12th, he had some strange feelings, and on the 12th, he clearly saw Maggie's shadow.

Assuming the physical ailment is a sequela, which appeared after he came into contact with the shadow, then Joey probably received the ring sometime between the beginning and the 12th of last month.

Once we figure out where he got the ring, it's essentially the same as finding Ethan Field's whereabouts.

Milo is currently facing significant obstacles in communicating with the shadow, and he can only resort to the most primitive method: asking questions and receiving "yes" or "no" responses from the shadow.

What he needs to do is to narrow down the scope of the investigation as much as possible.

……

“I have a suggestion: check Joey’s approximate schedule from last month, especially from the beginning of the month to around the 12th,” Milo said to old Theon.

“That’s not difficult. It’s easy to find out the daily schedules of students like them.” Old Theon nodded. “I’ll arrange for someone to gather information in a bit.”

“I can go to the academy myself,” Milo said.

“I know this sounds a bit strange, but I suggest you try not to act alone during this time,” Old Theon suddenly reminded Milo.

"Do you still think someone is following me?" Milo narrowed his eyes.

He had seen old Theon pointing his gun at thin air twice already. What Milo couldn't understand was that his spiritual vision was definitely superior to old Theon's, and there couldn't be anything that old Theon could see but he couldn't. Yet he hadn't found anything, but he clearly felt a mysterious and intense sense of crisis.

This feeling made Milo very uncomfortable.

He has gradually adapted to the wider field of vision that a psychic possesses, making the unknown more likely to trigger his nervous tension.

“It might not be a person,” old Theon shrugged, speaking in a joking tone.

Milo smiled and didn't say anything more.

He packed up quickly, took some potentially useful documents and files, and left the law enforcement headquarters again, heading to Nanwei Academy.

And old Theon really did follow along patiently.

For the rest of the afternoon and into the evening, the two of them were constantly moving between the college's teaching buildings and dormitories, repeatedly confirming Joey's whereabouts during that period through the accounts of Joey's classmates and teachers.

Finally, as night completely enveloped the entire city of Nanwei, I managed to put together an itinerary that was barely passable.
