In such a panic, there must be something important hidden inside.
"Open it!" Eden urged his subordinates.
"Don't!"
"throat!"
At the suspect's exclamation, the suitcase was opened.
Everyone looked at the things inside and were stunned.
I saw that there were piles of women's underwear inside...
Some of them look older and have obviously been used...
"This..." Eden's mood was like riding a roller coaster, "What does this mean?"
"It's not just this box, it's all in several closets in his house." The sheriff said, "I heard from female tenants that their underwear has been lost. Now it seems that it was him, the landlord, who stole it."
"Ah..." The suspect's face was ashen and he sat slumped, unable to say a word.
theft.
Collection of foreign objects.
abnormal.
Should be caught.
But the most important thing now is to find the murderer of the serial murder case.
Therefore, although a criminal was found, Linn and Eden felt even heavier.
"You continue the interrogation." Eden walked out of the interrogation room and lit a cigarette impatiently.
Linn followed out.
"What should I do now..." Eden really had no idea. During this period, he had made countless attempts and efforts, but the results were too little. "Three roads have not worked. We really have to do it at ten o'clock at night."
Are you going to gather all the people who live alone before one o'clock?"
"There's still time." Linn glanced at his watch.
It's half past four in the afternoon.
There are about four hours left before the mission is triggered.
There are still six and a half hours until the murderer commits his sixth attack.
He must control the progress.
To avoid finding the murderer before the mission is triggered, we must also eliminate the possibility of letting the murderer escape justice before dawn.
"Hiss...hoo..." Eden exhaled, "Originally, there was such a big case, and other colleagues were rushing to investigate, hoping to make a big contribution and take the opportunity to become a strong candidate for the new deputy director. Later, they discovered that this case
It’s not that easy to break, it’s a hot potato. If you’re not careful, you’ll have to bear more, and they’ll all run away. I’m the only one who dares to pick it up..."
"They are all here for their career, but you are the only one who really wants to solve the case."
"But...can I break it..." Eden had a little self-doubt.
Doubt your ability to solve the case.
I wonder if my existence in this environment of the Public Security Bureau is a joke.
"Of course, it can be broken." This matter will also affect Lin En's life and death, and Lin En must catch the murderer.
"Why are you so confident?" Eden was amused.
Lin En leaned against the wall: "I have no choice."
Eden understood this sentence on his own: "Yeah, I have no choice. I can't just admit defeat and let the murderer continue to do evil and let those colleagues gloat."
"Let's go back to Kling Street. I'll visit the people living alone one by one." Lin En planned to use [Peeper's Eye] to do a preliminary screening to make sure he was confident.
"I've been busy running back and forth every day." Eden took a puff of cigarette and strode outside, "Let's go!"
Seeing that Eden has always maintained a high fighting spirit.
Lynn was also a little bit infected.
At five o'clock, the group returned to Clint Street again.
Seeing the afterglow of the setting sun filling the sky, Linn and Eden felt a layer of gloom in their hearts.
There is no way out for them.
No matter who the murderer is or where he is, he must be arrested today.
"This is the list." Eden gave Lynn the information about the people living alone on Kling Street. "There are still many who have moved away. I don't know if the murderer is among them... There is no way to catch the murderer.
, and it’s ridiculous to stop innocent residents from leaving.”
"The murderer probably hasn't left yet." Lin En looked up at the dazzling array of buildings on the street. "For him, the game may have just begun."
Eden narrowed his eyes: "Game? That's right. For such a pervert who enjoys killing people, other people's tragedies are just a game."
"I'm going to visit them one by one, and you should be prepared to gather those who live alone and provide protection." Time was limited, so Lin En decided to divide his troops into two groups.
"It's really up to you this time." Eden smiled and tried his best to dispel the pressure in his heart, "There will be a big fuss tonight. If the murderer cannot be caught, I guess... Oh, let's not talk anymore, let's get to work!"
After tossing the residents of Kling Street, it still had no effect. Not only would Eden not be able to get promoted, it would even be a question of whether he could keep his current position.
After all, if the impact is bad, someone from the Public Security Bureau must take the blame and bear responsibility.
After saying goodbye to Eden, Linn and other sheriffs began to visit one by one according to the information on the list, and at the same time reminded them that before eleven o'clock tonight, the Sheriff's Department would arrange an address for them to provide unified protection.
The job didn't go very well.
Because most people were working and the work scope was not limited to the Clint Street area, it took nearly three hours to investigate the more than 30 people living alone who had not yet moved out of Clint Street.
During this period, the most puzzling situation occurred for Lin En.
Five people living alone actually refused the protection provided by the Public Security Bureau and made it clear that they would stay at home.
So brave?
Do you not believe in the existence of ghosts and demons? Or is there something else hidden?
After the visit, Lin En listed nine of the more than thirty people living alone as key objects of observation.
Among them were five people who refused to spend the night at the location arranged by the Public Security Bureau, and four people whose corruption scores exceeded [150].
If the murderer really lives alone.
Linn felt that he was in there.
However, he did not rush to provoke a few people and use [Perception] to see who was hostile to him who was investigating the case. Instead, he planned to wait until the mission started before investigating.
Otherwise, the murderer will surface before the mission begins, and then there may be other unknown missions triggered.
Eight o'clock.
A group of people had dinner in a restaurant on Clint Street.
It turns out that the owner of this restaurant was affected by the "eleven o'clock ghost" and closed the restaurant as soon as the sun went down every day, and did not dare to open at night.
But Eden did not believe in evil and ordered the restaurant to open.
Seeing the mandatory requirements of the Public Security Bureau and the fact that there were so many armed police officers staying in the restaurant, the owner reluctantly reopened the restaurant with confidence.
"What? There are still people who refuse to come?" Eden was surprised at Lynn's report while eating, "What do they think? Are they crazy? Regardless of whether there are ghosts or not, people living alone are the key targets of victims.
There is no doubt about it.”
"I feel something is wrong. Maybe there is a murderer inside." Linn enjoyed his dinner slowly, glancing at his watch from time to time to estimate the time when the mission would start.
"Then we should control them immediately." Eden said.
Lin En shook his head: "If the murderer is really here, then he is unwilling to accept our unified protection and must be planning to do something at night. It is best for us to monitor in secret and have sufficient evidence. But... the murderer is very smart.
I’m afraid ordinary surveillance won’t have much effect.”
"The problem is, there are five people living alone who have refused unified protection. It's impossible for all five of them to be murderers, right?" Eden pointed out what didn't make sense.
"This is worth thinking about." Lin En didn't have a good idea at the moment.
"Anyway, there are only two options. One is to force them to come here to provide protection, and the other is to arrange two police officers around them. Although it is difficult for the police officers to monitor the murderers with extremely high IQs, there is still no problem in protecting the innocent residents.
"." Eden chewed the food, "As a member of the Public Security Bureau, I feel that the bottom line tonight is not that the murderer must be caught, but that no more people must die."
