New Gods of North America

After spending another night in the old police station, the next afternoon,

The church had probably sorted out the situation, and Tom Hagen formally notified Wayne, indicating that the people in the detective agency could withdraw temporarily.

Although he wasn't busy all the time, he had been working non-stop for several days, and Wayne was a little tired.

So, considering that the friendly guest appearance was "considerate enough", everyone left the old police station first, bought some food and stationery on the way, and returned to the courtyard of the detective agency to line up to boil water, take a shower, and rest.

After almost all the detectives were dispatched, only one detective and chef Parker were left to look after the house.

In addition, there is a little loli.

Although it is not known how long Emma took, this little girl has already solved the "coffin problem" that Wayne had previously posed, using a total of three different solutions.

By the way, she also opened the big safe in the detective agency.

He happily asked Lina and Willy to go and see it.

To choose between "praising him" and "beating him", Wayne chose to look through newspapers and flyers and decided to buy two more reliable safes.

David Mills was also on vacation, so Tom Hagen half persuaded and half forced him to board the detective agency's carriage.

At this moment, he was diligently flipping through several large books borrowed from the old police station, seemingly trying to figure out how to be an excellent defense lawyer.

Lina was obsessed with organizing the files and had already started to create individual files by name.

However, the files at that time were relatively simple, basically one loose-leaf per person, sorted alphabetically and put into a hardcover book cover.

Inesa had read a lot of materials these days, so she also helped.

It can even provide additional information about the people being investigated.

Since most people went to sleep first, we just had a casual dinner.

Wayne did take some time out to study with Chef Parker how to make potato chips, crispy fried chicken and American pizza.

At this time, Emma, ​​like Wayne, was a "stray person".

So she acted as a "guinea pig" or "taster" in the kitchen, tasting Chef Parker's research results. She also brought a notebook over, hoping that Wayne would give her some new topics.

Wayne was also a bit troubled by this.

He flipped through the problems Emma had solved before, and felt that this little girl could probably help him with his math homework now. If she went further into advanced mathematics, he wouldn't be able to do it himself.

Fortunately, the field of mathematics is quite broad.

While Wayne was thinking about whether to hire a professional teacher for Emma, ​​he brought up two subjects that could trouble children - probability theory and game theory.

Considering Emma's level, Wayne listed a few formulas in the notebook, explained the basic principles to her, and then threw two classic questions for her to play with.

One is the classic "Three-Door Problem" and the other is the so-called "Pirates Dividing the Gold".

I feel like it should be enough for her to play with for a while.

If that doesn't work, Wayne will have to use his trump card before finding a professional teacher.

For example, go to those intermediary agencies to get some stock news and trends, so that the little girl can experience the dangers and complexity of real-life game.

…

After everyone had a day's rest, the detective agency resumed classes and training.

The classroom for adults is not as warm as teaching children.

Ryan can "remember" up to three scenes within a spherical area with a diameter of approximately three yards, and can "transmit" those scenes to other people like three-dimensional virtual images.

Although the same scene can only be transmitted about three times, the images become blurrier as time goes on.

However, Ryan's current memory is all about the death scene of the rich merchant son who represents "lust", and there are less than nine detectives who have not been to the scene at that time.

Therefore, every agent who missed the wonderful scenes was fortunate enough to receive a baptism of pictures.

As an opening remark for the class, the effect was quite good.

After everyone calmed down, Wayne turned around and wrote the words "Introduction to Forensic Science" on the blackboard.

The reason why it is called "entry-level" is because Wayne himself learned it from detective novels, crime dramas and the like, and can only be considered to have a "rough understanding" but is far from being a professional.

“Most of the members of our detective agency have experience as bounty hunters, so they should be familiar with corpses.

"But as detectives, we must also learn to read more information from the corpse. Today, I can only explain some entry-level judgment methods to you. I hope that you can summarize some of your own experience in the future and share it with everyone."

Then there are terms like "rigor mortis", "living spots", "fingerprints", "blood splatters", etc.

And the clues and characteristics left after experiencing various classic ways of death.

As for the source of these experiences, it is of course Wayne's experience as a sheriff.

Not only some agents were amazed by this,

Even Bill Tench, who happened to be visiting the detective agency with gifts, was stunned for a moment after seeing the bunch of words on the blackboard.

Bill Tench was quite curious about this kind of professional course.

At first he just sat there and listened casually, but soon he started taking notes and asking questions in class.

After listening to a class,

Bill Tench looked a bit like a student. Finally, he couldn't help but confirm with Wayne:

"Wayne, I remember you were a sheriff in the West for less than half a year?"

Wayne nodded.

Now it wasn't just Bill Tench who was shocked.

Even Willy, who originally lived in Kanx, patted his chest, as if he was frightened by the security situation in the western town:

"It's been less than half a year, and we've already seen so many different corpses and deaths?! No wonder they say there's always a shortage of people in the West..."

You all have misunderstandings.

Wayne wanted to explain a little bit.

But never mind, I'll take you to the West when I have the chance.

Later, Bill Tench explained his real purpose. It turned out that he was also curious about the results of the investigation into the case and wanted to come and inquire about it.

Wayne led Bill Tench directly to his office and pushed him to David Mills, who seemed to be changing from a "magician" to a "lawyer".

After all, this is a matter involving the church, and the insiders probably know better what to say and what not to say.

In fact, even Wayne himself is curious about the final result, but unfortunately it probably won’t come out so soon.

Guests are strange sometimes.

When they don’t come, none of them come, but when they come, a large number of them may come.

Before Bill Tench left, three more carriages were parked in the yard of the detective agency.

Wayne was still wondering at first who this guy was and why Doug let in an unfamiliar carriage.

Then the people on the carriage got off, and they turned out to be Ian Fisk and his sister.

And there is Mr. Russell, who I met before.

This gold main lineup,

Come to life.
