Just as her colleagues in the police station had thought, in order to solve this case, Alice had entered into her own thoughts.

When her colleagues had already started returning to work, Alice did not even notice it.

At this moment, she had already devoted herself to the case.

She had always believed that no matter how perfect a crime was, there would always be a flaw.

It was just that the size of the flaw was different. As long as she observed carefully, she would definitely be able to get the answer.

The continuous high-intensity brain consumption had overwhelmed Alice.

Helplessly, Alice planned to take a short break.

But just as she lowered her head, Alice inadvertently glanced at the case information in her hands.

One of the documents was the analysis of the props in the room before Jerry Mac entered the room through the footprint simulation technology.

The other one was to analyse the props in Jerry Mac’s room after he entered through the footprint simulation technology.

The last one was the analysis of the props in Jerry Mac’s room after he slept through the footprint simulation technology.

During the whole process, there was another subtle point that she had not paid attention to before.

But looking at the information in her hand, she suddenly realized it.

There were five bottles of champagne on the table in the room.

Previously, their attention was all on Jerry Mac himself, so no one paid any attention to these five bottles of champagne.

According to the footprint simulation technology, the five bottles of champagne were not opened when Jerry Mac entered the room.

After Jerry Mac and the internet celebrity finished messing around with their business, the five bottles of champagne still had not been opened.

But in the second half of the night, through the footprint simulation technology, it was shown that the five bottles of champagne was opened, and all the wine was emptied.

Then Alice suddenly thought of Jerry Mac’s death report, which was written that he was drunk and accidentally fell into the sea.

And the approximate amount of alcohol consumed happened to be five bottles of champagne.

Thinking of this, Alice’s eyes suddenly lit up, and her face showed a little of excitement.

This meant that Jerry Mac had drank those five bottles of champagne on the table, and the drinking should have happened after their business between him and the internet celebrity.

Something must have happened in between. Otherwise, why did Jerry Mac drink so much?

As long as the reason behind it was found, then the truth of this case would be uncovered.

Alice hurried back to the simulation video investigation.

However, this video was once again sent Alice back to confusion.

Through the footprint simulation technology, about two hours after the business between both of them, the weight of those five bottles of champagne began to gradually decrease.

From this, it could be deduced that at this point of time, Jerry Mac should be drinking.

But the problem was that Jerry Mac was still sleeping, and none of his footprints appeared near the table, nor were there any extra sets of footprints in the room.

The champagne was definitely drank by someone, yet Jerry Mac was still sleeping.

This had completely confused Alice.

There was no one near the wine table, and Jerry Mac was still sleeping…

Then who could explain why the champagne was decreasing?

There was definitely someone else at the scene.

But this person had not been found yet, so he had to be hiding somewhere around the corner.

Thinking of this, Alice put down the documents in her hands, sat on the chair, and fell into deep thought.

This was Alice’s unique way of handling problems.

Whenever there were out of clues, she would comb through the cases to find the latest clues.

Firstly, she recalled the items in the room… 

There were not a lot of things.

A wine table, a few bottles of wine, a big bed, and a puppet.

Secondly, Alice recalled the events that happened in the room.

Jerry Mac and the internet celebrity returned to the room. The two of them did their business, slept, and the champagne started to decrease.

Combining these two events, when the champagne began to decrease, there was only Jerry Mac, the internet celebrity, a wine table, a few bottles of wine, and a puppet in that room!

Thinking of this, Alice suddenly made a new discovery.

Generally speaking, things that seemed unlikely to happen were often the truth. 

When the champagne in the room began to dwindle, the only person who had a chance to pour it was the puppet.

A puppet that could pour champagne. This sounded crazy, but it was also the only thing that was possible.

Before that, no one had been able to reconstruct the puppet’s footprints because none of them had ever paid attention to that puppet.

Once again, Alice reconstructed the scene using the footprint simulation technique, but this time she focused all her attention on the puppet.

She wanted to see what the puppet was doing while the champagne was slowly decreasing. 

However, through this simulation analysis, the result terrified Alice.

Time was paused at 3:10 am.

At that moment, Jerry Mac and the internet celebrity were in a deep sleep.

And the champagne was decreasing…

Through the simulation technology of footprints, Alice found something unexpected.

The puppet was light as a feather, so light that the footprints could be easily ignored, and it was difficult to restore the puppet’s footprint.

But Alice was one of the top FBI detectives, so she was confident to deal with this matter.

And according to her restore, she did find some unexpected situation — the puppet seemed to have moved by itself.

And it was moving towards Jerry Mac.

But that wasn’t all.

What was more terrifying was that Alice noticed that the puppet suddenly disappeared when it reached Jerry Mac’s bedside.

The puppet’s footprints were completely gone out of nowhere. Not a single trace of the footprints was found in the room.

When the footprints reappeared, the puppet was back in its original position.

At the same time, the five bottles of champagne were completely emptied.

What did the puppet do?

Was the puppet being manipulated by someone or did it just move by itself?

Why was the champagne inexplicably emptied by itself?

And after the puppet disappeared, how could it reappear in its original position?

Tons of questions surfaced in her mind, and before she knew it, Alice’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

Over the years, she had solved countless strange cases in the FBI.

However, this was the first time Alice had encountered such a mysterious case.

Although she had an uncanny feeling towards this case, Alice still reported her findings to the Chief.

Looking at Alice’s simulated images and related information, the Chief’s face turned white.

Obviously, he also realized the strangeness of the entire case.

With a bitter smile, the Chief said, “Thank you for your hard work, Alice. Since this case has a hidden story, we’ll continue to investigate. You look worn out; you should take a rest.”

After saying that, he directly turned off the video.

As the chief of the FBI, he actually felt that it was a little scary.

This was beyond his understanding. If he hadn’t been forced to watch such a scary video, he definitely wouldn’t have watched it anymore.

It was so creepy!
