Screenwriter Mystery

"Has anyone seen Spike?"

Washington, bsi headquarters.

Amanda frowned and asked everyone in the office. Facing Amanda's question, Angela looked at each other in dismay, and finally Agent Phil shook his head.

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Spike for several days. I thought you had arranged for him to do some quests, boss."

Hearing Agent Phil's answer, Amanda's frown deepened.

"what happened?"

Noticing the expression on Amanda's face, Detective Zhou immediately asked.

"A few days ago, after Spike asked me for the file of Father Merlin's case, he suddenly disappeared."

"You're worried, Spike won't say goodbye after he gets the dossier."

Hearing Amanda's words, Detective Zhou immediately reacted.

After all, Spike's purpose in joining bsi before was to investigate Father Merlin's case.

"I don't think Spike should say anything and just leave without saying a word."

On the side, hearing the conversation between Amanda and Detective Zhou, Angela immediately spoke.

"Why are you so sure."

In response, Detective Phil on the other side immediately spoke up and sang the opposite.

"Father Merlin's case was originally the reason for Spike to join bsi. Now that he has got what he wants, it is not normal for him to leave."

"Even if he wants to leave, he will at least say hello to us."

"Why?"

"After so much, aren't we and Spike friends?"

"My friend, it's just what you think, maybe Spike himself just sees us as partners."

"You seem to have a problem with Spike, Phil?"

"I have no problem with Spike, I know you are too emotional, Angela..."

"Okay, you two, say less."

Seeing that, the voices of Detective Phil and Angela in the office became louder and louder.

Amanda said something impatient.

"What's wrong?"

Just at this moment, a hoarse and slightly magnetic voice suddenly sounded.

Hearing the familiar voice, Amanda turned her head.

I saw that Spike was carrying an old wooden box in his hand, and appeared in bsi with a curious look.

"Look, I was right!"

Looking at Spike reappearing in the office, Angela snorted at Detective Phil opposite, showing a victorious attitude on her face, as if saying that she was right about Spike.

The latter opened his mouth, but did not say anything.

After all, facts speak louder than words.

Carrying the wooden box, he came to the office and sat down on his own sofa. Spike's eyes swept over the people in front of him and finally stopped on Amanda's face, and asked with a smile.

"I can hear you arguing when I get out of the elevator. Are you talking about a case?"

"..."

Looking at Spike's gaze, Amanda felt a little guilty in her heart for some reason, and she subconsciously moved her eyes to avoid Spike's.

"It's the boss..."

Detective Zhou, who was on the side, replied calmly.

"She couldn't find you, and thought you would leave without saying goodbye after you got the file of Father Mo Lin's case."

Seeing that Detective Zhou did not shy away from pointing out the reason, the expression on Amanda's face couldn't help being a little annoyed, but she had to nod to admit that she really thought so.

With Detective Zhou's clarification, the inexplicable guilty conscience in Amanda's heart has been reduced a lot.

"That's what happened."

Hearing Detective Zhou's explanation, Spike nodded knowingly.

"Although I don't want to leave without saying goodbye, the reason for my disappearance these days is indeed related to the case of Father Mo Lin..."

Following Spike's explanation, in the office, whether it was Amanda or Agent Phil, they all forgot what they had just argued, and involuntarily turned their attention to Spike on the sofa.

"Bsi's record of Father Morin's death is too little, and some of them are from the testimony of the surviving children in Springwood Town. It is difficult to piece together a complete clue."

"There's nothing we can do about it. When we learned the news of Father Merlin's death, it was already the second day after his death."

In this regard, Amanda gave her own explanation.

"I'm not blaming bsi for anything."

Faced with Amanda's reaction, Spike just nodded calmly.

"In fact, given the danger that Father Merlin encountered at the time, even if you were at the scene, you couldn't change anything, and you might even become a member of Father Merlin, a member of the victims."

"There is a detailed report on the death of Father Morin in the case file. It is obvious that the existence of the murder of Father Morin is extremely dangerous and strange, and even the devout Father Morin is powerless to resist its power. However, if only relying on the dossier provided by bsi , in addition to having a certain degree of understanding of the target of the attack that Father Merlin encountered at the time, there was no help in the investigation of the entire case. Therefore, in order to understand all this, I spent a few days and finally found a person who could assist me. Something to investigate..."

"What you call things should be in this wooden box, right?"

Hearing Spike's words, Detective Zhou's eyes in front of him subconsciously landed on the wooden box.

"bingo."

He nodded and gave an accurate answer.

Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of Amanda and others, Spike reached out and opened the old wooden box in front of him.

"Cough cough~"

With a burst of dust flying, Spike waved the dust raised in front of him.

The contents of the wooden box were also revealed in front of everyone's eyes.

"A candle?"

However, looking at the things in the wooden box, Agent Phil raised his eyebrows subconsciously, with a puzzled expression~www.readwn.com~ what appeared in the wooden box that Spike opened, It's not the mysterious item they expected, but a half-burned candle that looks unremarkable.

"This is the item that can help investigate the death of Father Morin?!"

To be honest, if it wasn't for Spike's previous experience as a psychic, he had already shown enough ability to be convincing.

Taking out such a candle that does not seem to have any mysterious atmosphere has long been booed.

"Yes, it's a candle."

In the office, Spike nodded lightly to the inquiring gazes from everyone, and then slowly opened his mouth to add.

"Of course, it's not just an ordinary candle, although it looks like..."

"It's Harry Houdini's candle."
