Profiling

The two entered the manor, which was decorated in a very solemn and dignified manner. Most of the people present were dressed in black or white, making Harvey Bullock, who was wearing a light blue coat and dark blue trousers police uniform, stand out and immediately attract attention.

"Inspector Bullock, and this Priest, thank you for coming to my funeral," Mario said, approaching the two men with a sorrowful expression.

"Alas, what a tragedy! I heard your brother had an MBA from Harvard and was a recipient of the Oxford Rhodes Scholarship. It's such a pity that such a talented person met with such misfortune." Roland made the Cross, revealing a sorrowful expression.

"Don't you not know him?" Harvey Bullock asked Roland, looking puzzled, after Mario went to entertain other guests.

"Nonsense, it was homework I did on the spot." Roland patted him on the shoulder. "You think it's that easy to get a free meal?"

"That's really professional," Harvey Bullock exclaimed.

"Of course, since we didn't give any money, we have to do a decent job in other aspects," Roland said. "To be honest, even if we were short of Priest right now, I could fill in. Praying, giving sermons, singing hymns... I can do it all."

"... sharp."

"But it's obvious they don't lack it, so I can just focus my energy on the buffet later." Roland sniffed, "I can smell Florentine steak and Sardinian roast suckling pig."

"A true expert," Harvey Bullock said, sniffing like Roland, but he couldn't smell anything.

"I think I have a talent for being a gourmet. Next time you come to my place, I'll let you try some of my cooking."

"OK."

After the Priest prayed for the deceased and delivered a eulogy, the farewell ceremony for the body should have followed.

In the Falcone tradition, during this part of the farewell ceremony, relatives and friends Kiss the cheek of the deceased as a final way of saying goodbye, demonstrating their deep affection and respect for the departed.

However, since Alberto Falcone was shot on the Yacht and fell into the water, and his body was never found, this part was skipped, and we went straight to the buffet.

Carmine Falcone had no appetite. He stroked the empty Coffin and said in a low voice, "Who was it?"

"How can he be so audacious? He keeps targeting my people, even my son."

"Godfather Majesty, please don't grieve too much. You must take care of yourself," Minos, Falcone's bodyguard, advised.

"I think Mr. Falcone's health problems aren't caused by sadness, but by his age," Maroni said with a smile, a glass of Champagne in his hand, as he approached Falcone. "Everyone has to go through this... it's just that poor Little Alberto isn't here anymore."

"Maroni, if you've come here to mock me, then you've chosen a very good time." Falcone's tone carried a hint of threat.

"That's not what I meant," Maroni shook his head. "Let's join forces to eliminate the Holiday Killer."

Why are you suddenly telling me this?

"The people I placed at City Hall were killed by the Holiday Killer. He was after us. We can't keep passively reacting like this."

"Okay." Falcone nodded.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

As Roland popped a piece of Italian creamy mushroom chicken into his mouth, he muttered to himself, "These two actually teamed up?"

"Who are you talking about?" Harvey Bullock asked, savoring his Italian tomato meatballs.

"Falcone and Maroni, they're getting ready to catch the Holiday Killer together."

How did you know?

"Otherwise, why would two guys who have clashed so many times end up sitting together?"

"... Hopefully they can actually catch them, it'll save us Police some trouble."

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill, they went directly to Mario and asked him to investigate Alberto Falcone's room.

Of course, Harvey Bullock's reason was not because Alberto was a suspect in the murder, but because he was investigating the Holiday Killer.

"Inspector Bullock, if you can catch the Holiday Killer, the Falcone is willing to give you $2 million free of charge," Mario said earnestly to Harvey Bullock as he led the two to Alberto's room.

"Hey, I'm not doing this for the money, it's just the duty of Police," Harvey Bullock said righteously.

"Okay, you can just donate it to me then," Roland said to Bullock. "That way, you'll show your compassion without tarnishing your honor Police."

"Uh... Priest, why are you here too?" Mario looked at Roland with suspicion. It made sense for Harvey Bullock to come and investigate, but what was Roland doing here?

"Ahem... Officer Bullock is a bit afraid of ghosts, so having me along can give him some courage," Roland explained.

"... I won't tell anyone this secret." Mario gave Harvey Bullock a strange look.

"Damn it, slander! You're slandering me!" Harvey Bullock was furious. "I've been accused of being greedy and lustful, and I've been accused of being a lazy bum, but this is the first time I've been called a coward!"

"Should I give you an award?" Roland rolled her eyes at him. "I just needed an excuse to be with you, didn't I?"

"So why did you come with me...?"

"Are you underestimating my investigative abilities?" Roland said. "I'll show you."

Roland released the Kamaitachi, which searched Alberto's quiet bedroom carefully and soon heard a faint crackling sound.

Roland reached under Alberto's bed and pulled out a Bug.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Harvey Bullock exclaimed in astonishment. "How did you do that?"

"This is called profiling, a common method in criminal Psychology. It involves collecting evidence, analyzing the criminal's psychology, and replicating the criminal's information," Roland said, spouting nonsense with a straight face. "By putting myself in the criminal's shoes and thinking like them, I can know what they're thinking. That's 'profiling'."

"... Do you think I haven't studied criminal Psychology?" Harvey Bullock didn't believe a word Roland said.

"Anyway, I've found it." Roland shrugged.

"... Who put it in Alberto's bedroom?" Harvey Bullock muttered to himself, holding the Bug. "How did someone manage to get their hands on Falcone's good son?"

"I don't know about that," Roland said after thinking for a moment, "But we can rule out Batman for now."

"Why?"

"Because Batman's Bug is more advanced than this." Roland recalled a past event.
