Star City Operations Bureau, Operations Branch Three.
The Deng family's case has been transferred to them. The pile of cases has already made them overwhelmed, and this case has added a huge burden to them.
Since the incident, the Deng family has exerted pressure on the case-handling departments through multiple channels.
Originally, judging from the wounds, this should have been a murder case. After all, the deceased had obvious fatal stab wounds in their throats.
But after careful investigation, it was obvious that something was wrong.
Deng Kai had multiple fractures on his body, his chest was obviously hit hard, and he had suffered severe internal injuries before his throat was cut.
The same was true for the other two Deng family members. They had suffered obvious injuries before their throats were cut. The injuries suffered by these two people looked even weirder. There were obvious strangulation marks on their necks, and they did not look like they were man-made.
.
Of course, it is difficult to judge the nature of the case simply by relying on the wounds.
However, many details at the scene showed that this was not just a murder. There were also a lot of strange details about what happened in the private room of the club.
For example, the door handle of the private room was almost stretched out of shape.
But this door has no lock at all. It only needs a slight push and pull to open. Why is the door handle being pulled and deformed?
What's even more weird is that what happened in the private room was obviously after a long struggle, which lasted at least fifteen minutes.
For such a long time, if there was a fight at the scene, there would be shouts and sounds of fighting, but the waiters outside did not hear it at all.
This is obviously not common sense.
At the scene of the murder, it was impossible for the deceased not to make a death struggle. The order of death of these people was obviously sequential, so it was impossible for other people not to call for help or not try to escape. Why didn't anyone escape from the private room?
Judging from the scene, apart from the five dead people, there were at most two people present at the scene.
Even if those two people are both murderers, two against five, the advantage shouldn't be that big.
If it was truly an overwhelming advantage, the fight should have been completed within tens of seconds, so why did it last so long?
It is impossible to find a reasonable explanation for all the details.
Of course, the most bizarre thing is that several waiters in the club, including the supervisor, mentioned one person, and that was Deng Heng, the playboy of the Deng family.
But Deng Heng was obviously still detained in the Operations Bureau, and there was no way he could appear in the private room.
Unless Deng Heng knew how to clone himself and walk through walls, he could escape from the custody of the Action Bureau and go to the club to kill five people in a row.
This situation is obviously impossible! There are also people on duty at the Operation Bureau. Deng Heng never left the Operation Bureau last night, and there is obvious evidence of alibi.
There is only one explanation. The Deng Heng who appeared at the scene is definitely not Deng Heng's real body.
In other words, a fake Deng Heng appeared.
But according to the supervisor, Deng Heng spoke to him at that time, and his tone and voice were exactly the same, without any difference.
What is a little strange is that Deng Heng used to be afraid of Deng Rong, an elder of the clan, but last night Deng Heng called Deng Rong an old man, which was obviously abnormal.
The police have collected surveillance footage from the outside of the on-site club and handed it over to the Operations Bureau.
Surveillance showed that the person who entered the club was indeed Deng Heng. No technical analysis could find any flaws.
Luo Chu and Lao Han looked at each other, and three words came to mind at the same time, replicator.
"Old Han, the hole in the bureau is a bit big. Several replicators have disappeared. Several recent cases are vaguely related to replicators. Why do I feel that this matter is getting harder and harder to understand?
"
Lao Han was silent, thinking about something with a complicated expression.
I replayed the surveillance video over and over again, looking for it, but couldn't find any clues.
"Luo Chu, replicators usually use sneak attacks to kill people. This method of committing crimes by killing less and killing more is not very similar to the replicators' methods."
"Oh? You don't think it's a replicator?"
"Since Deng Heng has never left the Operations Bureau, only the replicator can explain the appearance of the exact same Deng Heng in the club. However, the person who killed the person may not be the replicator? Isn't there another person at the scene?"
"Those are the guests invited by the Deng family for a banquet."
"Yes, it's a guest invited to the Deng family banquet, but we can't find this person's identity in the face recognition system. This is very strange."
"Well, everyone who knows his identity is probably dead. The service staff at the club can't explain why. The supervisor said that he vaguely heard Deng Rong calling him Mr. Yue. But you can't find the person just by his last name.
?Isn’t this looking for a needle in a haystack?”
"The surveillance video of Deng Heng and this person leaving the club is very obvious. Deng Heng left first and this person left last. Who is the murderer, or are they simply accomplices?"
"They are probably accomplices. Unfortunately, these two are very cunning. The surveillance along the way was unable to catch them. It seems that they have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities."
Luo Chu and Lao Han were both helpless. The strange era was coming, and the role of surveillance seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.
Old Han sighed softly and put down a piece of information.
"Luo Chu, by coincidence, the jumping case in Crescent Harbor is actually related to the murder case of the Deng family. The deceased who jumped from the building in Crescent Harbor made a lot of calls to Deng Rong before his death.
"
The four words Crescent Harbor reminded them of a person at the same time.
They didn't want to mention this name at all on this occasion.
Although the two of them were chatting behind closed doors at the moment, they still didn't want to mention that name in such a murder case.
However, no matter how they avoid it, it seems difficult to avoid this name.
Because, this place and this time are too sensitive.
The two of them were silent for a while, both of them were a little worried.
If this matter proceeds according to normal procedures, the investigation will always lead to Jiang Yue.
Although Jiang Yue did not appear in the on-site surveillance.
But it is really hard not to associate Jiang Yue with Crescent Harbor.
What's more, the conflict between the Deng family and Jiang Yue is basically open to the public.
"Luo Chu, this case is difficult to handle." Old Han sighed.
"It's not difficult to handle. We have a lot of cases on hand. Even if we put them in order, this case is far from being ranked."
Luo Chu narrowed his slender eyes and spoke in a weird tone.
Isn't it just dragging words? What's so difficult about this?
What happened to the Deng family's pressure? Pressure is a matter for the leaders to resolve. Their people who directly handle the case do not accept pressure.
There are so many cases and everyone is putting pressure on them, so who should handle them? Are there any rules anymore?
"The Deng family seems to want to take this opportunity to find fault with us. Do you think we deliberately released Deng Heng to commit crimes?"
"Tch, their imaginations are too rich, right? Besides, if it was really Deng Heng who did it, would the Deng family still have the shame to make such a fuss? The family is in internal strife and killing each other. Where is the shame?"
"Luo Chu, to tell the truth, the deceased in Crescent Harbor was obviously not the owner there and had nothing to do with the house where he stayed. Why did he appear there?"
"Old Han, I really can't answer why."
"I'm worried that this matter may really have something to do with Xiao Jiang. If we find out about him, it will not look good on both of us."
Luo Chu is actually worried about this problem too.
"As long as he doesn't appear at the scene of the crime, no matter how you investigate, it will be in vain. Without clear evidence, the investigation will be in vain. I believe Xiao Jiang can understand it."
This is currently the most advantageous place for Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue did not appear at the crime scenes of the two cases.
He was not under surveillance, and there were no fingerprints, hair, footprints, etc. of his at the scene.
The two fell into a long silence again.
From a professional perspective, of course they want to solve the case.
From a personal point of view, they obviously do not want this matter to be related to Jiang Yue.
If it was really Jiang Yue who committed the case, they would be in a very difficult position. If they were asked to deal with Jiang Yue, they would be extremely reluctant.
But if we really need conclusive evidence to prove that it is Jiang Yue, it is really difficult to ask them to bend the law for personal gain. It is also not worthy of their uniforms and the badge of the Great Zhang Kingdom on the top.
The two of them were worried.
What Luo Chu thought about was that at that time last night, he called Jiang Yue and Jiang Yue was turned off.
The time period of the shutdown state, according to the timeline, is exactly the same period, and it is a completely overlapping period.
After the incident, the time when Jiang Yue called back was not long after the incident.
Luo Chu intuitively judged that even if this matter was not directly related to Jiang Yue, it was probably somewhat indirectly related.
But Lao Han's considerations were much deeper than Luo Chu's.
Old Han's memory returned to Yunxi Town some time ago.
When Yunxi Town dealt with the group of replicators, they fell into a very passive situation.
Because the replicators were scattered in various areas of Yunxi Town, it was extremely difficult to completely eradicate them, and there were not enough manpower at the time.
Therefore, Jiang Yue proposed at that time that he should find a way to summon other replicators to Wang Fucai's house.
To be honest, when Jiang Yue proposed this plan, Lao Han was not very optimistic at the time. It was just that Jiang Yue's behavior had always been too evil, so Lao Han could not refuse Jiang Yue's proposal.
Because in Lao Han's opinion at the time, it was extremely difficult to summon other replicators with just Wang Fucai's mobile phone.
What's more, those replicators are all cunning and shrewd, and some of them are even suspicious. Knowing that strangers have sneaked into Yunxi Town, they must be even more suspicious, and the possibility of asking them to gather at Wang Fucai's house is extremely low.
But Jiang Yue succeeded.
At that time, Jiang Yue took Wang Fucai's mobile phone and went out. I don't know what method he used, but he actually succeeded in summoning the replicator to Wang Fucai's house.
This was also the key to victory in that battle.
Lao Han has always found this matter very strange. If Jiang Yue only used his mobile phone to summon these replicators, why would he leave Wang Fucai's house?
What did he do after leaving Wang Fucai's house?
I met other replicators along the way. Why didn't the replicators suspect his foreign face?
At that time, Lao Han was very suspicious and asked Jiang Yue on the spot how he did it.
Because he also read the chat records on his mobile phone afterwards, Jiang Yue pretended to be a replicator of Wang Fucai and said that he had appeared in the town.
Then the other replicators should have met him, why didn't they betray him? The replicator is not a fool, so why can't Wang Fucai recognize him?
At that time, Lao Han wondered whether Jiang Yue had some secret method of hypnosis that caused the replicator he met to lose his mind.
It's a pity that Jiang Yue didn't give him an answer at that time.
This matter has always been a mystery in Lao Han's heart.
Until this moment, when he saw Deng Heng on the surveillance camera, Lao Han suddenly had a bold idea for no apparent reason.
Could this Deng Heng be Jiang Yue?
And is Jiang Yue a replicator? Or does he have the skills of a replicator?
If this were not the case, there would be no way to explain what happened in Yunxi Town.
There is no way to explain everything that happened in the club.
To say that Jiang Yue was a replicator, Chief Yan of the Action Bureau and his confidants had suspected this when he first arrived at Yunshan Times Square, and conducted a rigorous investigation and review of Jiang Yue.
The conclusion of the investigation at that time was obvious: Jiang Yue was indeed not a replicator.
So, who was the person who pretended to be Chief Yan in Yunshan Times Square?
Who is this person pretending to be Deng Heng now?
Coincidentally, Jiang Yue's shadow seems to be present in everything.
If it were just an isolated case, Lao Han would definitely not push the matter in that direction. But these three suspicious situations were all related to Jiang Yue.
It was difficult for Lao Han not to doubt him.
"If Xiao Jiang really has replicator skills, then everything that happens will be explained."
"But the bombing of the Daozi Lane villa was also the work of a replicator. This should have nothing to do with Xiao Jiang. Is it another case?"
All kinds of thoughts were spinning in Lao Han's mind.
These reasonings slowly gave Lao Han some clues.
From the first time he met Jiang Yue, this young man seemed to be shrouded in a mysterious aura. Today, this mysterious aura makes it even more difficult for him to see through it.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to be Jiang Yue's enemy at all.
Even if he knew that he was the murderer of the Deng family's murder, he did not want to become Jiang Yue's enemy.
Once such a person is forced to the opposite side, it will be simply terrible. With his ability, even if the Operations Bureau devotes all its efforts, it may not be able to do it.
Logically speaking, the murder seems cruel.
Judging from the personal grievances, the conflict between Jiang Yue and the Deng family was actually initiated by the Deng family. Moreover, the Deng family paid for the assassination first.
Although there is no conclusive evidence for these two incidents, the matter seems to be very clear.
Fortunately, the Deng family has not yet thought of Jiang Yue. With the arrogance of the Deng family, they could not have imagined that Jiang Yue's threat was so great.
Various live videos are also beneficial to Jiang Yue. It is normal for the Deng family to not expect Jiang Yue.
After all, the few people who really fell out with Jiang Yue, except for Deng Heng, have basically died.
Clan elder Deng Heng, as well as Deng Kai, those who knew about their grudges with Jiang Yue are all dead.
Under such circumstances, it is normal for the Deng family not to suspect Jiang Yue.
Although Lao Han had various reasonings and guesses in his heart, he obviously would not say these things out loud.
The Deng family is not related to him.
Furthermore, the Deng family is not on the line of administration of his brother Xingcheng, and he usually does not listen to the greetings of the elders.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Old Han to take the risk of offending Jiang Yue for the sake of the Deng family. To investigate Jiang Yue based only on reasoning and guesswork, unless Old Han's brain is caught in the door.
Don't talk about anything else, just his niece, she absolutely cannot let him go.
Besides, even if all kinds of suspicions are focused on Jiang Yue, as long as there is no clear evidence, who can do anything to him?
The aura of being the number one physical testing genius in Star City is nothing more than that.
Now all forces are wooing this genius, especially the military, which has long been ready to make a move.
If the Action Bureau offended Jiang Yue at this time and pushed Jiang Yue away, the military would definitely be very happy to take advantage of it and directly drag Jiang Yue to the military.
Don't say there is no evidence, even if there is definite evidence, who can stop an important person in the military? Weird times, special moments, special treatment.
A true dragon like Jiang Yue has already taken on the power of a flying dragon flying in the sky, and no one can stop it.
Anyone who blocks it will act like a chariot and bring humiliation upon themselves.
The Deng family doesn't overestimate their own capabilities and has to fight with others. They will remain calm on the surface, but they will give you a big deal secretly.
Lao Han has no doubt at all that Jiang Yue is definitely a decisive and decisive person.
Just from the scene of yesterday's attack, it can be seen that Jiang Yue is obviously used to killing people with blood and is not unfamiliar at all.
This also proves that Jiang Yue, who looks gentle on the surface, is definitely a ruthless person.
Ruthless people do things that are unpredictable.
Judging from the two cases, there may be more twists and turns inside, or even a counter-attack of you killing me and me killing you.
After all, why do people from the Deng family appear in Crescent Harbor for no reason?
And it happened to appear in the building opposite Jiang Yue's house.
And there was actually a telescope at the scene? This was clearly to monitor Jiang Yue.
A vague line basically formed in Lao Han's heart.
The Deng family attacked Jiang Yue and ambushed Jiang Yue at Crescent Harbor. Jiang Yue discovered him and launched a counter-attack.
Luo Chu squinted his slender eyes, looked at Old Han, and asked meaningfully: "Old Han, what are you thinking about?"
"Haha, it's just random thoughts. This case will be a headless case until the two people who left it are found, and it will be difficult to make a breakthrough."
"In such a big Star City, how easy is it to find two people?" Director Luo sighed, "Besides, there are too many people we are looking for."
This is the truth. There are bombings, multiple attacks on awakened people, and various strange cases. The cases they have piled up on their hands are more than just these two. Are there more than one or two people they are looking for?
Both of them were old foxes who had matured. They tacitly avoided the topic of Jiang Yue and did not go into it further.
Especially Luo Chu, he didn't care at all.
He didn't care whether he was the director of the Third Division of the Operations Bureau. In his opinion, even if this matter was related to Jiang Yue, it was still a personal grudge between Jiang Yue and the Deng family.
In strange times, if you can buy someone to kill someone, it is reasonable for them to kill you in return.
Let’s not waste the Operation Bureau’s precious resources, right?
…
Han Jingjing, who was in the hospital, obviously also got the news, but she was a child of a wealthy family and could keep her composure. She knew that it was not appropriate to call Jiang Yue at this time, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to Jiang Yue.
But her curiosity has obviously not diminished.
Anyway, it wasn't a serious injury. If she had scratches on her face and didn't want to see anyone, she would have gone straight out of the hospital to find Jiang Yue.
Seeing that an important party was coming soon, Jiang Yue also promised to accompany her to attend. At this juncture, lying in the hospital really made Han Jingjing a little unable to lie down.
What's more, every minute of an awakened person's time is important. If you miss a few days of homework, you may miss a lot!
