In the evening, Zoff came, and the material he brought was only a dozen pages, but the handwriting was densely packed. It was obviously written by his hand. He must have racked his brains and thought about it while writing. It was very detailed material.
It was recorded that the three gunmen were all workers in a small local tannery. They were usually in the factory, but occasionally they were seen riding horses walking around the town. Sometimes they got into fights with people in bars, and they were somewhat famous.
The tannery where the three of them work is a family business and one of the few small workshops in this town. There are dozens of workers. The family is called the Hodelman family. It is an ancient and large family in the peninsula with many branches.
, the Hodelman family in this small town is one of them.
The most prosperous line of this family has served as the privy steward of the Duke of Haussburg for generations.
Of course, the surname Hodelman is too old, so these so-called Hodelman families are not closely related to each other, and can even be said to be just passers-by.
Lu Ming felt like the surnames in his previous life, such as Zhang and Liu, were from the same ancestor thousands of years ago, but the descendants have nothing to do with them.
However, because the Hodelman family is regional and located on the peninsula, it does have an organization similar to a clan association, but it is only used by a few relatively prosperous families for friendship and cooperation.
Rooney, the current owner of the Peninsula Club and Peninsula Hotel, is a distant relative of the Hodelman family in this town. His great-grandfather and the current head of the Hodelman family are cousins. Rooney’s great-grandfather left this town decades ago.
, went to the urban area of Houseville to make a living, and actually created a world.
Under the night light, Lu Ming looked through the materials in his hand and pondered some possibilities.
Naturally, Lu Ming couldn't understand the original manuscript Zoff wrote in Western, so a careful female attendant translated it into Chinese for him.
Someone knocked on the door gently, and the beautiful and beautiful girl in snow-white clothes was Isabel.
"Teacher, what should we do next?" Isabel's blue eyes blinked.
"Do you have any ideas?" Lu Ming smiled.
"With the current signs, the teacher should also suspect that some members of the Hodelman family are involved in this case, right? The Derman family in this small town may be the real executors of this assassination. The Hodelman family is very likely to be involved.
They were participants in the separatist movement. They assassinated the Duke of Houseburg in order to eliminate the Duke of Houseburg. In the Houseville area, the existence of the Duke of Houseburg was also one of the signs of its close connection with the empire. Many tycoons
The people of Houseville also regard the Duke of Houseville as the representative of their traditional lords. Without the Duke of Houseburg, the separatist movement in Houseville will lose the most important shackle in the future and become more logical."
Isabel glanced at Lu Ming, and seeing that Lu Ming remained calm, she thought for a while and said: "Furthermore, even if my estimate is wrong, we can only follow this clue to investigate, which is the town of Chaben."
The Hodelman family." After a pause, "Of course, the investigation into Zoff should also be conducted in secret."
Lu Ming finally nodded, "So, how to check this town's most prestigious family? Do you have any ideas?"
Isabel sighed softly: "It's very difficult. Even if the three gunmen really received the order from the Hodelman family, there is no evidence now, unless the person who sent the order admits it. Moreover, it is difficult for us to know them.
Which member of this family assigned them the procedure for sending instructions?"
Lu Ming nodded, "One more thing, this is still our fixed thinking. On the surface, we believe that the three gunmen are appointed by the factory owner's family, but what if they are not?"
Isabel frowned and said, "The student believes that it is very likely that the factory owner's family will appoint the three of them, because these three people all have a common characteristic, they are all orphans without direct relatives, and, judging from the assassination process,
Their use of firearms, their timing, and the accuracy of their marksmanship all show that they have undergone long-term training. Why are these three people willing to work as workers in a leather factory in such a small town?"
"Their gun skills training should be a long-term process, and the training time every day will be very long. They are training three professional killers. Without the accommodation of the boss, it will be difficult for the three of them to do their jobs well."
?Furthermore, it is strange to be willing to lurk in this factory. If someone trained the three of them to lurk here so that they could be used to assassinate someone in the future and mislead our investigation direction after committing the crime, then we have to investigate
If we go down, we still have to look for clues from the three factory workers and the factory owner."
Lu Ming nodded silently.
"Furthermore, if you weren't a teacher and could accurately determine the origins of the three gunmen, it would actually be difficult for us to verify their true identities. Therefore, I still prefer that someone did not deliberately let the three gunmen lurk here. They came from Thirteen Four
They have been working in this factory since they were young. They are all orphans. Someone selected them to secretly train as professional killers. This person is most likely to be the management of the factory."
Lu Ming nodded: "After you laid out everything, it seems that the suspicion of members of the Hodelman family here is getting bigger and bigger."
"The teacher also thinks what I said makes sense." Isabel's blue eyes lit up.
"Well, you are very talented in investigating crimes. Being a soldier would be a waste of your talent!" Lu Ming smiled.
"Really?" Isabel's little face looked a little happy, "To be honest with the teacher, my original ideal career was to be a police detective. I envy Anne very much. She was a police detective when she was in the north, right? But,
My mother, everything has been arranged for me, and if I have any ideas or say anything to her about this difficult case, she will definitely not listen to a word of it, and she will always treat me as a child."
Lu Ming was startled for a moment. It turns out that as a mother, Chris is not immune to the customs.
But she is very understanding and tolerant of herself. It seems that those who are not her biological children and those who are biological are treated differently. In her eyes, her biological daughter will always be a child who needs protection and help in planning her life.
"Teacher, are you lying to me? What I analyzed, do you really think it makes sense?" Isabel suddenly looked at Lu Ming suspiciously, feeling a little unconfident.
Lu Ming rolled his eyes, "Even if Chris says something wrong, I won't deliberately compliment her, okay?"
Isabel pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard Grandma Li say that you forced my mother to apologize to you."
Lu Ming smiled: "So, why should I tell lies to deceive you? Just to make you happy? Is this necessary?"
Isabel immediately nodded repeatedly, her delicate and pretty face shone with excitement, "Thank you, teacher!" It looked like she almost blurted out the words to thank her father.
Lu Ming was confused, why did he gradually feel that his stepfather had entered the role?
I also somewhat touched the veins of this beautiful aristocratic girl. In fact, deep down, Isabel has a very elegant and gentle character, but she is very stubborn on the outside. She is typically tough on the outside but soft on the inside, which is exactly the opposite of her mother Christine.
Moreover, she has never seen her father since she was a child, and she grew up under the guidance of a strong mother. In fact, deep down, she needs her father's love very much, and she has always hoped to have her father's encouragement and guidance. She is only responsible for being a happy child.
Cotton jacket.
If Bisi hadn't met herself, would she have been like this when she grew up? Most of them have some emotional loss. Children who grow up in single-parent families, to be more serious, are really prone to personality problems.
Normal people sometimes have a hard time understanding them.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head.
Seeing Isabel's eagerness to try, Lu Ming smiled and said, "I feel like you have some ideas on how to proceed with the investigation. Let's talk about it." Seeing her hesitation, he encouraged her: "I said, in terms of investigating the case,
You are very talented, you have to have confidence!"
Isabel nodded: "Okay! Teacher, don't scold me if I say something wrong. I think so..." It can be seen that her blue eyes are full of happiness.
