"So do we, but we need to prepare for the worse," Sherly said.
"Is there no clue as to the perpetrator? What about their motive?" Jack asked.
"I'm afraid we have no idea about the motive," Canon said. "But we might have something about the murderers."
"It is still unclear, though," Sherly said as she gave Canon a disapproving look.
Canon chuckled. "Forgive my partner here. She disliked sharing things that are still ambiguous."
"After questioning the eyewitnesses just now, we might have found something that links the murderer in this town with the one two days ago," Sherly said. "But I don't want us to jump into assumptions, we are still waiting for the report from the other towns where the other murders occurred. Once we cross-check the facts, we should be able to make a better deduction."
"Let me know once you have something tangible," Jack said. He didn't want to push for an explanation if the two were not certain.
