Roman opened the safe. The safe was divided into three layers. There were two wooden boxes side by side on the lower layer. There were some documents and a few small bags on the middle layer. There was a tray on the upper layer. Now the tray was empty. There was a Russian doll next to it. , judging from the horizontal line in the middle of the body, it should be a Russian matryoshka doll, about the size of an adult's palm, less than ten centimeters in width, and less than twenty centimeters in height.
Roman pointed to the tray: "The necklace was placed on this tray before. I'm usually very careful and don't move her."
Jimmy: "Can I check this?"
Roman left the safe, and Jimmy stepped forward, took out a flashlight and shined it on the tray, observing the tray carefully. There was a layer of dark red velvet underneath the tray. Maybe it had been left there for a long time, and the lint on the velvet had been pressed out. It was in the shape of a necklace, and Jimmy saw no other traces of being pressed down on the velvet.
Gently lift the tray. There is very slight dust residue at the bottom of the tray. Usually the safe is not opened often, and a little bit of dust will fall. Although it will not be too obvious, it will still be a little bit. However, compared with the position of the tray and For the traces below, this pallet has not been moved for a long time, otherwise there would at least be drag marks below.
Jimmy: "Is anything else missing from the safe? Is there anyone else who can open this safe?"
Roman shook his head: "No, my family is not in New York, and they will not come here. Only I can open this safe."
Jimmy: "I didn't bring any fingerprint identification agent when I came out this time. There's no way to tell if someone else has opened your safe. And if it's a professional, they must be wearing gloves and generally won't leave any obvious traces. It can only be said that this is a routine inspection method. Whether it is effective or not depends entirely on the operator's technique.
But judging from the tray itself, it seems that no one has moved it. Look at the fluff here. If someone picked up the necklace like this, there should be slight indentations here, but now it seems that there is nothing abnormal here.
This shows that the person who took the necklace was very careful to lift the necklace from the top. Frankly speaking, ordinary thieves would not do such a thankless thing. Those who can do this must be experienced and repeat criminals. "
Jimmy backed away from the safe, and Roman came over and closed the safe.
Jimmy: "I will bring a fingerprint identification agent next time I come here. I hope it will be fruitful. Also, Roman, do you have surveillance here?"
Roman shook his head, "It's not convenient for me to use surveillance. Apart from the old items left by my ancestors, there are no other precious items in this house."
Jimmy: "Does anyone else come into this study usually?"
Roman: "There is only the servant Dalia. She will come and clean it every few days. I came back the day before yesterday, and yesterday I found that the necklace was missing. Someone had searched Dalia's room before, and there was nothing there. .”
Jimmy knocked on the wall next to the safe, "Can I check out the room in the back?"
Roman took Jimmy out of the study and into the next room. Although it looked like there were just two rooms, the wall between them actually had a mystery. The safe was hidden between the two walls, and the safe could not be seen from this room. Is there anything unusual about the location?
….
Jimmy came to the wall, reached out and touched the wall, and then put his whole palm on the wall. He stretched out his left hand and touched it away from the safe. There was an obvious temperature difference between the two sides. The walls are noticeably cooler.
Jimmy had already seen it when he was downstairs. The appearance of this villa looks similar to the surrounding ones, with three floors, but there are two basements, and there are also some walls that seem to have hidden spaces behind them. One of the wall mezzanines is The safe is here. This mezzanine is partitioned by the second floor floor. The first floor below is still a mezzanine, and one of the basements is under the mezzanine.
Jimmy carefully observed the inside of the mezzanine, but didn't find anything obvious. He turned and walked towards the door, preparing to go to the first floor to take a look. Roman looked at Jimmy's movements, completely confused, and followed him downstairs.
Jimmy checked the location, went to the room downstairs, looked up at the location of the safe on the second floor, and walked to the safe.
Under the safe, I reached out and touched the wall. Just like the second floor, the wall under the safe was very cold, while the wall next to it was at a normal temperature.
[To be honest, I have been using @@ recently to read and catch up on updates. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. It can be used on both Android and Apple. 】
Jimmy looked down at the basement below and could only see a square space, but there seemed to be something like smoke inside that was interfering with Jimmy's vision.
It might have been a distance issue when he was on the second floor, or it might be that he didn't look at the basement too carefully at all. He didn't see it very clearly at the time, and he didn't notice the smoke-like situation. Now he looked at a place more than two meters below his feet. , it’s obvious.
The problem is that Jimmy sees something abnormal, but he can't tell it, because he has only seen this situation once before. During the exorcism in Little Rock Church, the thing Father Royant exorcised from the man's body was in the shape of smoke...
Seeing the scene in front of him, Jimmy overturned his guess that a thief entered the study, opened the safe and took away the necklace. It seemed that something was wrong with what happened here. If there really was something in the basement below that he saw last time in Little Rock If the other things are not moved, just taking the necklace is not an ordinary theft. It may involve very troublesome things.
Jimmy is very reluctant to get involved in this kind of thing. Although the exorcism seemed easy last time, there is no Father Luo Yint this time. If he gets involved, he will be in trouble if he is found here. Big.
Jimmy turned around and said to Roman: "I want to check several rooms, but it can be done during the day. I have to go back to get the fingerprint identification agent. People in this villa had better not leave before I come. To avoid something unpleasant happening later.”
Jimmy took off his disposable gloves and put them in his pocket. After Roman nodded, Jimmy was ready to leave.
Roman walked Jimmy to the door and took a look at the fact that there was no parking lot in front of the villa. "Jerry, did you drive here?"
Jimmy: "No, take a taxi, driving is not convenient."
Roman: "Then I'll have someone take you back."
Jimmy: "Don't be so polite, I'll just take a taxi back. See you tomorrow, Roman."
Jimmy left the villa and walked on the street. He took out his mobile phone and called the taxi company and called a taxi. He didn't dare to let Roman take him back. Although Justin didn't make it clear, this Roman definitely didn't look like him. He looks so harmless, and if you can find Justin's clue, this Roman must be a figure in the underworld, so be careful.
