From the perspective of the sheriff, there is no problem with Eden's words. The murderer must be caught, but the most important thing, which must be considered first, is the safety of the people's lives.
But Linn absolutely cannot accept that the murderer survives the night.
No matter whether there is a sixth victim tonight or not.
He doesn't want to say goodbye to this world just after being promoted to [Transcendent].
"I will keep an eye on them one by one tonight, and the rest are up to you." Lin En planned to focus on the five people who were unwilling to leave.
As for the other four solitary individuals with high depravity values who were also listed as key suspects, they were all under unified protection by Eden, so there was no fear that they would escape.
Hearing that Lin En volunteered to keep an eye on them, Eden felt relieved: "Okay, I will arrange more manpower for you."
"Hmm. By the way, how are the preparations for your shelter here?"
"Get ready, it's a church on the street." Eden said.
"church?"
Eden is very satisfied with this shelter: "The church is large and can accommodate dozens of people, and there is no need to pay room fees or ask superiors to approve money. The most important thing is that many people think they are ghosts and demons.
To cause trouble, the church is the place where they have the least resistance, making it easier for us to manage.”
"Well, it's pretty good." After hearing what Eden said, Linn also felt that the church was a good place.
"Let's start working after dinner. I will gather everyone in the church first, and then I will arrange manpower for you to cooperate with you to monitor those who live alone who are unwilling to leave." Eden was eager to try, waiting for another confrontation with the murderer, "Also,
, I'm a little undecided and would like to hear your opinion."
"Say." Linn started eating faster.
"Do you think we should strengthen patrols on the streets? Now there is no way to be 100% sure that the murderer is among the people living alone. If we miss it and don't patrol, the murderer may target other people."
"What about the patrol?"
Eden breathed heavily: "If we patrol and don't give the murderer a chance, we may not get any clues tonight."
Lin En felt a vague contradiction: "But isn't your request just to ensure that no one will die tonight?"
"Yes, and I also want to get more clues." Eden smiled bitterly, "It sounds a bit greedy, but in order to minimize the loss, I can only fantasize like this."
"Understood." Lin En swept away the food, drank half a glass of water, and wiped his mouth, "Then I will set off first, notify those who live alone to meet at the church one after another, and then monitor those who are unwilling to leave."
"Well." Eden began to mobilize his troops, "Gotha, Paul, you lead people to cooperate with Linn's investigation, and follow Linn's arrangements when necessary."
"yes."
"yes."
Eden has a group of direct descendants who share his hatred of evil and have a sincere and straightforward personality.
Having seen Lynn's performance, these two Eden's right-hand men did not have any resistance at all because they had to take orders from the consultant.
This is rare.
If it were anyone else in the Public Security Bureau, they would probably have to embarrass Lin En and work passively.
In the old way, it is considered offensive to take orders from a consultant.
After saying goodbye to Eden, Lynn, Gotha, and Paul left the restaurant and began to remind the lonely people one by one to go to the church to spend the night according to their addresses.
Everything went smoothly this time.
After saying hello in advance, the single guests packed their things and followed them neatly to the church to rest.
For a time, apart from those who had moved out in advance and those who had been urgently transferred to the church for refuge, there were only five people living alone in their homes on the huge Kling Street.
"If these people are not murderers, they are too unethical." The muscular Gotha crossed his arms across his chest and left the last resident's house, saying to Linn, "We were already very short on manpower, but now for them,
Ten people were assigned to protect each other."
"Yeah, it's like us catching the murderer has nothing to do with them." Paul shook his head helplessly.
Lin En's mood was stable: "It's okay to keep it."
"How do you say that?" Gotha asked.
"There is a very high probability that the murderer will commit another murder tonight." Linn explained, "If all the people living alone are placed in the church, it will greatly affect his actions. If he is among these five people, then he will be killed tonight."
To take action, the target can only choose from the remaining four people."
"Let's just keep an eye on him and wait for him to take the bait?" Paul answered quickly.
"Yes, but this is an ideal guess. The specific situation must be more complicated than we imagined." Linn patted Gotha and Paul, who were standing on his left and right. "In addition, it is not ruled out that the murderer has a gun. If the arrest is launched,
Arrest, please pay attention to your safety."
Gotha straightened his back and his well-developed chest muscles were quite obvious: "Paul and I will protect you."
"Okay, thank you." Linn didn't say much.
Time passed by and it was 8:40 pm.
The task may be triggered at any time.
And there were only two hours and twenty minutes left before the murderer's scheduled murder time.
The men sent by Eden were placed around the other four stranded alone people.
Lynn, Gotha, and Paul lurked near the home of the one who he thought was the most abnormal of the five people living alone.
The reason why this person is said to be abnormal is because he is unemployed and lives a very poor life.
I heard from neighbors that it was rare to see him go out.
Occasionally I see them wearing very shabby clothes and going to the nearby bakery to buy a big bag of bread that is about to expire.
And his home was also very abnormal.
It was so clean that it could be described as empty.
There were no cabinets or tables inside, just a bed and a bookshelf filled with books.
Although this person's corruption value is [-30], he looks quite thin and does not seem to have the ability to kill.
But he is a lonely and eccentric person after all.
Lynn tends to pay more attention to his situation.
Even if he is not the murderer, such a helpless person with a monotonous lifestyle can easily become the murderer's target.
"Don't smoke. It's late at night and cigarette butts are very conspicuous." While waiting, Paul stopped the bored Gotha from smoking.
"Keep holding on, in order to catch the murderer." Lin En also advised.
"Okay." Gotha had no choice but to put away his cigarette and took a few long breaths to endure his craving.
Paul had heard Eden describe Lynn's deeds many times before, so he also admired him: "Mr. Lynn, do you think the murderer was one person or a gang?"
"At the moment, it looks more like one person." Lynn stared at the lighted room while answering Paul's doubts, "Because these cases look bizarre, but one person is enough to do it, and there are more people.
Convenient to hide your whereabouts.”
"Find out who it is, and I will have to apply to kill him personally when we are waiting for execution!" Gotha whispered, "The people who live alone provoke him, what right does he have to destroy it just to satisfy his morbid psychology?"
Other people’s lives…”
"I'm also curious about his motives." Lynn was very interested in the case.
The murderer's motive.
How the murderer committed the murder.
He wanted to know.
At this moment, a long-lost voice finally sounded from his ears.
