Puppeteer: I Use Human Puppets to Create Perfect Accidents - Chapter 23
Chapter 23: A Shocking Discovery. Another Puppet?
Seeing Alice’s reaction, Kalitan startled for a second, but she still explained, “It’s an exquisite puppet. It’s very lifelike. At first glance, I thought it was a real person. When Ada came that day, I gave it to him. He liked it very much. Why? Is there a problem?”
“Nothing.”
Alice felt as if she had caught onto something.
It was another strange puppet!
She clearly remembered the strange puppet that appeared in Jerry Mac’s case last time.
The footprint simulation technology showed that the puppet had really moved that night. However, this kind of thing was too bizarre, so no one believed it, including her.
Although they felt that there was something wrong with the puppet, they still chose to believe that there was something wrong with the footprint restoration technology.
After all, this kind of thing was too strange and impossible to happen.
But this time, there was actually another puppet that appeared in the case!
Was it a coincidence?
Alice shook her head violently. After working on cases for so many years, she did not believe in coincidences.
Her intuition told her that this puppet must be the key to this case.
Thinking of this, she immediately asked, “What about that puppet? Where is it now?”
“I gave it to Ada. I don’t know exactly where he put it.”
Kalitan spread her hands and replied innocently.
Alice nodded and then said, “Then where did you get this puppet?”
“Well… Someone gave it to me. I don’t know exactly who was it. There’s no relevant information on the delivery. Maybe it was a gift from some fan who adores me, but I guess he doesn’t dare to reveal who he is. I’ve met many people like him,”
Kalitan shook her head in disdain, and then looked at Alice curiously. “What’s wrong, Officer? Does this puppet have anything to do with the case?”
“Nothing.”
Alice did not explain the situation to Kalitan.
After all, she was unrelated to the case. If Alice really told her, she was afraid that Kalitan would not believe such a strange thing.
Knowing that finally there was a new clue, Alice’s mood slightly cheered up. Now that this matter started to clear up, she did not delay any longer.
She immediately stood up and shook hands with Kalitan. She said, “Miss Karitan, thank you for your cooperation. The information you provided is very helpful to us.”
With that, Alice walked out swiftly.
It was not easy for her to find a clue. So, she could not wait to start the investigation.
Standing behind her, confusion was written all over Kalitan’s pretty face. Help? What help?
Was it that puppet?
Was it related to Ada’s death?
How was that possible!
Kalita laughed off her wild thoughts and shook her head.
Then, she sat on the sofa, looking at the empty villa, and fell into her thoughts.
The rich Ada had died. She was really at a loss and did not know where to go.
She could not afford such a luxurious life on her own.
Thinking of this, she felt a little frustrated.
It was not easy to hook a top-tier man like him. She didn’t even enjoy enough of her days yet, but he was already dead.
How could this be reasonable!
…
Back to Alice.
After saying goodbye to Kalitan, she immediately arranged for people to search Ada’s residence again.
This time, she specifically told her staff to focus on finding a beautiful puppet.
And things went smoothly. Although they did not find it in Ada’s residence, however, in his car, they found the puppet that Alice had mentioned.
From this point, it could be seen that Ada liked this puppet very much. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought it along with him.
This was also confirmed by asking Ada’s driver.
According to him, Ada liked this puppet very much. Every time he changed cars, he would definitely bring it along.
To be frank, wherever he went, he would bring it along!
The moment they saw this puppet, everyone was shocked.
It wasn’t their fault for making a fuss. This puppet was too realistic.
At first glance, everyone thought that it was a real person.
And what was even more amazing was that the touch was very delicate and soft, as if it was a real person’s skin.
How was this made?
How could there be such a craft technique in the world?
This was simply a great work of art!
If those artists saw it, they would immediately go crazy!
But unlike them, Alice was even more shocked when she saw it. There was horror.
The facts had proved her guess.
This puppet was really the same as the weird puppet in Jerry Mac’s case!
Except for the changes in its facial expression, the carving technique, the material used, and the lifelike effect, were all the same.
Alice couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air, chills running down her spine.
She felt that she had already grasped the most crucial clue. The puppet was involved in both cases.
What did this mean? There had to be a connection between these two cases.
Obviously, these two cases were not accidents at all, but purposeful murders!
Thinking of this, Alice hurriedly picked up the puppet and rushed to the Chief’s office to report this shocking discovery.
The Chief was also very shocked when he learned of this discovery.
He was very convinced by Alice’s rigorous deduction!
Moreover, these two cases were full of various doubts and did not make sense.
Therefore, he immediately believed Alice’s conjecture. These two puppets were very likely the key to solving the case.
However, the investigation of the case had once again fallen into a deadlock.
That was because there were no other fingerprints on these two dolls other than the two victims.
They had even searched all the shops in Gotham City that made puppets, including the shops selling the raw materials for making puppets, wood shops, fuel shops, and so on.
However, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack. It was impossible to find anything useful.
Just these two puppets were not convincing enough, and the most crucial evidence was still unavailable yet.
At this point, Alice could not help but feel frustrated.
The clues that she had painstakingly found came to an abrupt end and stuck once again.
This made Alice very depressed.
However, she was a persistent person. The more she felt helpless, the more she wouldn’t give up.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become the only woman as the chief of the Criminal Investigation Section of the Gotham Police Department.
Soon, she regained her spirits and her eyes lit up.
To be able to find such a crucial clue in such a complicated and strange case was already a great harvest.
She believed that with her efforts and perseverance, she would definitely find some breakthrough.
At once, she picked up the case files of the two cases and read them carefully again.
