Jelle wondered why he had a hole in his chest when he was having a good conversation.
Carmine didn't understand why Jelle suddenly collapsed there when he didn't do anything and there was no one else in the room.
Adjutant Eden was puzzled as to why something like this happened in the office after he had only been out for about ten minutes.
In the flash of lightning, Carmine was the first to speak: "Come here quickly! Something happened to Jelle!"
After being stunned for less than half a second, Adjutant Eden rushed over, picked up Jelle, and checked the injury: "What's going on?!"
"I don't know, he suddenly..." Carmine himself could not explain clearly what happened.
"Cough, cough..." As the person involved, Jelle's pupils were dilated, but his throat kept choking with blood.
"This..." Rory followed closely, but stayed at the door.
"Carmine! What have you done!" Winston said in shock as he pushed Rory away.
He thought that Carmine would fight him to the end and attack him, but he never thought that he would dare to kill Deputy Director Jeller of the Public Security Bureau.
Jelle's identity is not ordinary.
Killing him, given Carmine's background and connections, is simply not enough to settle the matter.
The only thing waiting for him then is to be arrested and executed.
"I didn't kill him! I didn't do anything!" Carmine's eyes widened at Winston, "It was you, right?! You framed me on purpose!"
"I have just been staying with Deputy Eden! How could I possibly attack Deputy Director Jeller?!" Winston retorted.
"How could I possibly kill him! Would it be good for me to kill him?!" Carmine's hair stood on end, and his voice could not help but tremble slightly as he raised his voice.
This was the most nervous time in his life.
Because he couldn't get rid of suspicion, he convinced others that he was the one who killed Jelle.
Then you will definitely die!
Tswold City is a medium-sized city, and the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau is a first-class security chief who wears a star on his shoulder. With an identity of this level, no matter where he is placed, he is considered a prominent figure!
"Stop talking nonsense! Do you have a doctor here?!" Adjutant Eden knew that Jelle's injury was serious and it was absolutely too late to drive back to the city. He could only pin his hopes on whether there was a doctor employed in the mining site.
"Yes, yes, but this kind of injury may..." Beads of sweat broke out on Carmine's forehead.
Let alone a small doctor in a mining field who only deals with minor bruises. Even the top doctors in the imperial capital cannot bring the injured back to life when their heart is penetrated.
What's more, Jelle is already on his deathbed and may not be able to hold on for even half a minute.
As an adjutant who had experienced numerous beatings and killings, Eden also knew Jele's situation very well, but he still found it difficult to accept Jele's death like this: "What exactly happened?"
"Cough...cough..." Jelle had probably lost consciousness. His body was convulsing and choking on blood instinctively, and he was unable to respond to Eden.
Another seven or eight seconds passed.
Jelle stopped choking on blood and tightly grasped the wrist of his adjutant Eden with one hand, staring and losing breath.
After a brief period of bustle, the office fell silent again.
Things happened so fast that everyone wondered if it was their imagination.
Lin En, who was standing at the door, seemed extremely surprised. In fact, he was calmly observing everyone's situation, ready to intervene at any time and guide the situation to develop in his favor.
"Dead, dead?" Rory's face turned pale.
Winston frowned and felt the pulse on Jelle's neck, and said in a low voice: "Dead."
"Don't even move." Adjutant Eden's eyes were red. After carefully laying Jelle flat on the ground, he stood up and pulled out his gun, looking coldly at Carmine.
"It's really not me!" Carmine said anxiously, "I have no reason to kill him!"
"You and Deputy Director Jeller are the only ones in the office," said Deputy Eden.
Carmine was speechless.
Winston was not affected by the tense situation in the office. He squatted and tore open Jelle's clothes and carefully examined the injury: "Adjutant Eden, how do you think this kind of wound was caused?"
"This kind of penetrating injury looks like a gunshot wound." Adjutant Eden replied.
He had no hostility or suspicion towards Winston.
This is not only because Winston has been very upright since they met, but also because when Jelle died, Winston was with him and had no conditions to commit the crime.
The last thing is logic. From this point, we can rule out the possibility of Winston sending someone else to assassinate Jeller.
Winston had an absolute advantage in the negotiations, and it would not be long before Carmine had to accept his terms and give up all the benefits of the new mine.
In this case, unless he was kicked in the head by a donkey, why would he want to kill Jelle and mess up the situation that he finally managed to control?
"Then if it was a gunshot wound, did you hear the gunshot just now?" Carmine used the inferences of his adjutant Eden to clear his suspicions.
"I just suspect that it is a gunshot wound. It does not mean that it is, nor does it mean that you did not use other means to cause such a wound." Adjutant Eden mainly suspected Carmine, although it is still unclear how Carmine committed the murder.
, but the general context has been figured out in his mind.
Carmine attaches great importance to the new mineral vein and wants to win it at all costs.
However, the tough maintenance of Paramount Company made it difficult for him to advance this idea. He had to rely on bribing his company's prospectors and bribing his company's miners to destroy the machines, trying to gain an advantage.
After these problems were cleverly resolved by Winston of Paramount Company, and after convincing the Chamber of Commerce to support him, he finally adopted a more extreme method, asking Rory to send the others away and kill Jelle himself...
There are also some logical inconsistencies.
For example, Carmine should kill Winston the most, and if he wants to take away Jeller, he should take away Jeller and keep Winston.
For another example, if Carmine had really decided to kill Jelle, he probably wouldn't have left so many clues waiting to be discovered.
However, despite this, the inference that Carmine is the murderer is still the most convincing at present.
Because the office is a closed space.
Only Carmine and Jelle were inside.
It was also because Carmine and his gang seemed too cunning, too mercenary, and too sneaky, especially since Rory inexplicably took them to meet a fake mole, during which he frequently paid attention to the time, as if waiting for something.
Although there were still many doubts in his mind, Adjutant Eden, who had already figured out the basic direction, called two subordinates outside to help him deal with the situation.
The two subordinates originally thought that tonight was a normal errand, but after seeing Jelle's body in the office, their legs became weak and they almost sat on the ground together.
The dignified deputy director of the Public Security Bureau was actually killed!
Who is so brave?!
In the territory of the Carmine mining site, it can only be Carmine!
"I, we..." The subordinates had never seen such a battle before, and were so frightened that they didn't know what to do next.
"Check the office to see if there are any secret passages, and then check the windows to see if there are any problems." Adjutant Eden confronted everyone with a gun.
"yes."
"yes."
Two sheriffs began a detailed search of the office.
Carmine, Rory, Winston, Lynn, and Robert stood aside and witnessed the entire process.
Ten minutes later, the office was turned over.
Make sure there is no secret room and the windows are closed.
The only thing worth mentioning is that guns were found on all five of Carmine, Rory, Winston, Lynn, and Robert. Apart from that, there were no other instruments that could be used to commit murder.
"Confess the situation, Carmine." After confirming that there was really no possibility of a third person, Adjutant Eden became even more convinced that Carmine was the murderer.
"What are you confessing? I didn't kill him!" Carmine said, "What reason do I have to kill him?! If I really want to kill him, do you think I will let you catch him?!"
Rory was still confused.
He looked at his father.
I don’t know if Carmine was framed or if he actually killed Jelle himself.
Adjutant Eden was unmoved: "You said you were not the murderer, but tell me, as the only person who has been with Deputy Director Jeller, what did you see?"
Carmine felt very aggrieved, feeling wronged and having no excuses: "After you left, we kept talking about the new mine, and then about ten seconds before you entered, Deputy Director Jelle suddenly
There was a bloody hole on his chest, and then he collapsed, and you just happened to push the door open and walk in."
This is true.
It's a pity not to mention Adjutant Eden and the others. Carmine even thinks it's ridiculous when he says it himself.
A blood hole appeared inexplicably on Jelle's chest?
How is this possible?
"In other words, Deputy Director Jele's incident happened about ten seconds before we entered?"
"That's right."
"Ten seconds before entering the door, we were very close to the office, but we did not see the door or any suspicious person standing in front of the window. There were no signs of damage to the door or window. Do you know what this means?" Adjutant
Eden asked.
Carmine walked to the window in disbelief and checked.
The windows are indeed always closed, and the switch is in the office. If you want to open it, you can only open it from the inside.
Even if someone stands outside the window and uses a hidden weapon to commit murder, it is impossible to maintain the integrity of the window after penetrating it.
But he knew very well that he didn't do anything.
Jelle's wounds could not have occurred naturally.
There must be a murderer hiding in the dark!
"It's really not me. You should know that I have always had a good relationship with Deputy Director Jele. No matter what happens, I will never offend him or even kill him. This is someone who is framing me and deliberately setting up a situation to make things worse."
The information all points to me..." Carmine tried to explain, proving that he would not do such a thing.
Suspicions are raised, and unless the truth is revealed, they cannot be dissipated.
Adjutant Eden looked at Carmine with a scrutinizing gaze: "It is almost impossible to kill people without leaving any traces in the true sense. Maybe you deliberately made all this suspicious, so as to clear yourself
suspicion."
"If it were really me, then I wouldn't be able to do it myself." Carmine knew that the current situation was very contradictory.
Rory helped: "It's really impossible for my father to harm Deputy Director Jeller. We are not fools. Doing this-"
"Then why did you take me to meet a fake mole? Are you trying to delay time?" Adjutant Eden was suspicious along with Rory. In his opinion, this was obviously a long-planned move by Carmine's gang.
.
As for why they wanted to kill Jelle, we can only know this after bringing him back for interrogation.
"I...I didn't delay, and that's not a fake mole." Rory said bitterly.
When Adjutant Eden saw this, he became more confident: "You sent us out in the name of meeting the mole just to create an opportunity for your father to assassinate Deputy Director Jeller."
"No."
At this time, Winston, who should least object to this conclusion, stood up.
He groaned and rejected Adjutant Eden's opinion: "Mr. Carmine and Mr. Rory should not be the murderers of Deputy Director Jeller."
