"If the person in the car is not Ali, who else could it be?" Ole asked.
"I don't know," Zhang Heng said. "I have never seen Ali or Hans. I'm only telling you what I observed at the scene. The deceased is very young. He should be 176 to 178 centimeters tall, and he weighs about 70 kilograms. He's a male, flat-haired, left-handed, sports, and in good shape. He just broke up with his girlfriend," Zhang Heng said.
Alesia and Ole looked at each other. "If this description is accurate, the person who died in the car is indeed not Ali, but it's not Hans either. We don't know such a person."
Song Jia could not help but interject, "Forget about the first part. How do you know he broke up with his girlfriend?"
"The deceased's back smelled of alcohol, mud, and grease. When he struggled, he rubbed himself against the seat. The grease and smell of alcohol in this part should have been left behind after he passed out in the alley next to the bar. This means that he drank alone, and he didn't call his friends. Obviously, something sad happened to him. And for a man his age, his sadness is most likely related to his relationship. This was confirmed later."
Zhang Heng paused and then continued, "He kicked the seat in front of him when he struggled, so I found his shoe prints on the back of the seat. I can tell that his sneakers didn't fit him well, which means that someone else gave him the shoes. However, he came from a wealthy family, and the perfume he used was a luxury brand. There was no reason for him to wear uncomfortable shoes, unless the person who gave him the shoes meant a lot to him. But he drank alone, so I assumed that they had broken up, and he wore those shoes to reminisce about the past."
Everyone was stunned after listening to Zhang Heng's analysis. "Who the hell are you? Are you Sherlock Holmes' roommate?" Ole's jaw dropped.
It took Alesia a while to recover, frowning. "Why is this man in our van? What does he have to do with those fanatics? Could it be that he is also investigating that evil spirit, just like you? "
"No, he is a tourist traveling to Greenland," said Kuna. "You are right. He did come to the Arctic Circle alone after he broke up with his girlfriend. Two days ago, he went missing after drinking in the tavern." Kuna looked at Zhang Heng and said, "You are right.
This time, it was Zhang Heng's turn to be surprised. "Did your little elf also tell you this?"
"No, I saw the news." Kuna pointed to the satellite TV in the living room.
"…"
"Just half an hour before you came back, the police found his body on the beach, and they are collecting clues from the public. He is an American, and there are 27 stab wounds on his body. The appearance and characteristics match with what you said," Kuna said.
"That means he has been in the hands of those fanatics for a whole day last night. By the way, Satchus also mentioned that these guys will hold a ritual regularly, and their sacrifices are usually people from outside the island. But this time, they didn't kill the sacrifice immediately. Instead, they specifically brought him to our van and stabbed him to death. They want us to mistake the dead person for Ali." Alicia quickly sorted out the ins and outs of the incident.
"Yes, your analysis is very reasonable and logical. What's more, you are not emotional. It seems that you have grown a lot this time. But you have to know that you are now accusing one of our friends and relatives of betraying us. There is no more serious crime than this, not to mention that the person you suspect is about to take over his teacher's position and become a shaman." Kuna put down the coffee cup in her hand, and her expression became serious.
"Who? Hans is going to become a shaman?" Ole looked a little stunned. "Although he is not stupid, his mind is not on this at all. His learning speed is not as fast as mine, let alone Alesia. If he wants to become a shaman, it will take him at least seven or eight years. Besides, how old are we now? He is too young to become a shaman. "
"There is no other way. His teacher can't hold on any longer. Gabba's health has always been poor, and he feels that his time is coming. That's why he has been so anxious all these years. He can't wait to give everything to his student. He has high expectations for Ali, but unfortunately, he chose the wrong method."
Kuna sighed. "I have told him many times not to push young people too hard, especially Ali. Although he is quiet on the surface, he always has his own ideas. I was worried that there would be a crack in their relationship, but it doesn't matter now. Gabba doesn't have long to live anyway. Last month, he went to the hospital for a checkup, and they found a malignant tumor in his head. He can't operate on that part of his body. Now, he just needs to make some herbs to eat. Their tribe can't live without a shaman for a day, so it's not long before Ali becomes a shaman."
"We have to tell his teacher what he did before that happens," Alesia said anxiously. "Let's not talk about Hans and Luke's feud first. I'm worried that he has already joined the evil, mysterious cult without us knowing. If he becomes the shaman of their tribe, the whole tribe may fall into the hands of the evil spirit. I've seen that guy's believers, and they have all lost their minds. They have become crazy and aggressive. Teacher, Gabba may not listen to us, but you are the most powerful and respected shaman of the Inuit. If you tell Gabba, he will definitely reconsider letting Ali take over his position. "
"This is not a small matter. Although I am willing to believe your deduction, I need more evidence to accuse a young man of being a traitor."
"Of course, we brought back Satchus. He used to be the leader of those fanatics. Well, strictly speaking, he was only the commander of the operation, but he should know about the actions of those fanatics. However, there is something wrong with his mind, and he can't communicate with people normally now. I'm afraid I can only ask you to go into his dream," Alesia said. "Maybe you can find the whereabouts of the sacred relic."
"Okay." Kuna did not refuse. "Let me get ready. You can bring him in."
"Sorry, this is an internal matter of the Inuit. I didn't want to interrupt, but I still have to say it. As far as I know, that … the evil spirit that you speak of is also very good at invading other people's dreams. So, if you want to enter his believer's dream, it may be very dangerous."
"Thank you for the reminder, young man." Kuna nodded. "Although you look very cold, it seems that you have inherited some of your mother's gentleness and kindness. I will be careful, and I have my elf. She will protect me."
