Chapter 292: The truth behind the tragedy of the Hinde family
"Handcuffs." Linn stepped forward and said only two words briefly.
"We have already sat down as you requested, so there is no need for handcuffs..." Phil, the butler, tried to gain some room.
As long as they were not handcuffed, they still had hope of three against one, looking for an opportunity to snatch the gun from Linn's hand and regain the initiative.
But if they are really handcuffed, the situation will become completely passive.
They have no choice but to obey completely.
Even if the security outside senses something unusual and rushes over, Lin En can hold them hostage to protect themselves, otherwise they will both perish.
Linn didn't take it easy at all, and directly put the gun on the head of the housekeeper Phil, showing off his murderous aura: "Do you think I am discussing with you?"
Butler Phil is an important think tank of Marquis Aldrich, and he must know a lot of information, so Linn doesn't really want to get rid of him now.
However, he had too much blood on his hands during this period. Even if he didn't really have any murderous intention, the murderous aura that burst out was enough to make people tremble and not dare to question his words.
"Okay, okay, let's handcuff them." The butler Phil suddenly broke out in cold sweat, took the initiative to pick up the handcuffs connected to the seat, first cuffed one of his own hands, and then asked Marquis Aldrich who was sitting next to him to help.
He cuffed his other hand and said, "Please, please help me."
"What about me, who can help me..." Marquis Aldrich gradually panicked.
Under the threat of firearms, the three of them helped handcuff the two of them first, and then Linn personally handcuffed the last hotel owner, Ralph.
Seeing that the hands of the three people were cuffed tightly to the armrests of their respective seats, Linn put away the keys to the cuffs, pulled up another chair, sat in front of the three people, crossed his legs and began to ask: "
Explain it."
"Give me what?" Marquis Aldrich felt uncomfortable being stared at.
"How did you kill the Hinde family?" Lin En said.
"I, I didn't-"
"It's best to be honest." Lin En didn't have time to do any more psychological work for the three of them. "I admit that I don't fully understand your details, but I can guarantee that I know much more than you think.
.Next, I will ask questions that I don’t know as well as questions that I know. Of course, when I don’t know, you may get away with your quibbles. But if your answer happens to be different from what I know,
Every time it happens, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life."
No one doubted that Lynn wouldn't do something terrible.
Marquis Aldrich wondered how he could meet such an evil spirit: "Then...what good will it do if I answer truthfully?"
"Answer truthfully and I will let you live." Lin En said.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Aldrich's breathing became heavy.
Because the meaning of this sentence is clearly that if he tells a lie, Lin En is even ready to kill him!
A majestic Marquis of the Imperial City! He was going to be killed by a second-level police officer who was a mystery novelist?!
wrong!
The scheming, courage, and confidence of these people are seriously inconsistent with what he reported.
"Can I ask you a question first?" Marquis Aldrich suspected that what happened today was the work of some enemy.
"Crack!"
Lin En went up and slapped her loudly again: "Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"
"I..." Marquis Aldrich was slapped in a daze.
"Answer again, why and how did you kill the Hinde family." Linn sat down and asked while playing with the pistol.
"Answer him quickly." Butler Phil reminded in a low voice.
"I...I..." Marquis Aldrich's mind was in uncontrollable confusion. He forced himself to calm down and answer the question attentively, "Yes, I killed him...that day, that day I came here to find something, to find something."
I was tired of all the fun that Ralph recommended, so I just said I wanted to play something big..."
It took about two minutes for Marquis Aldrich to explain the whole matter clearly.
The reason is ridiculous.
He often comes to the basement floor of the Old South York Hotel to have fun, play with, and abuse others.
That night a month and a half ago, when he came to visit again, he suddenly lost interest in the existing gameplay, so under the influence of alcohol, he came up with a bold idea - to randomly select innocent people from outside, and use the unprecedented method to
method of killing.
Use this to stimulate yourself and get great pleasure.
Not only was this move not opposed by hotel owner Relf, but it also received his full support.
The reason is simple.
The Marquis of Aldrich is one of his important financial sponsors, and it is by unconditionally serving these powerful people that he is able to get where he is today.
In the eyes of all of them, the lives of ordinary people could not compare to the joy of Marquis Aldrich for a night.
So, the eldest daughter of the Hinde family just went out to buy some medicine for her father, and she happened to be targeted by this group of lunatics.
Then, Marquis Aldrich, who kidnapped the eldest daughter of the Hinde family, learned that there were seven members of their family. Driven by crazy thoughts, he decided to eradicate the roots. He immediately lured the rest of the Hinde family out overnight, and finally took them all away.
Arriving at the Old South Hotel.
After that, there was a brutal killing, and the seven members of the family were frozen into ice sculptures...
"Huh..." Lin En let out a long breath to relieve his inner discomfort, "Then, why did you lock the door to the rooftop after killing them? Isn't this the same as telling everyone directly,
Did the Shinde family die of homicide?”
"Let me answer this." Phil, the butler, said cautiously.
"explain."
"Actually, the door to the rooftop was not locked that night." Phil, the butler, explained, "I was not with Marquis Aldrich when it happened. It wasn't until an ice sculpture on the rooftop melted and hit the pavement at noon that I
It seemed that the Public Security Bureau and the Public Security Bureau knew about the murder case at the same time. That was seven lives. I knew that the General Public Security Bureau would pay special attention to it. If the Marquis was found, it would cause great trouble, so I immediately spent money to bribe the murderer.
Whoever has the key to the rooftop, ask him to lock the door again so that the Public Security Bureau can naturally find him and take the blame for the Marquis."
Linn narrowed his eyes.
Phil, the butler, was smart and locked the door on purpose later on.
He did this just to make the Public Security Bureau suspicious and realize that the case must be a homicide.
The only person who can lock the rooftop door is the person holding the key. If it is confirmed that the murder was committed, the Public Security Bureau will definitely arrest the person holding the key as the murderer.
"But what I didn't expect was that at the critical moment, the person responsible for taking the blame was afraid and claimed to the Public Security Bureau that he knew nothing and that the matter had nothing to do with him." Phil, the housekeeper, felt inexplicably frightened.
Then this fear turned into ridicule of the General Public Security Bureau, "But what I didn't expect was that under this situation, the General Public Security Bureau still found no new clues. Such a big case began to become more and more mysterious.
It turned into an unsolved case..."
Things developed beyond everyone's expectations.
The relevant person who took the key temporarily changed his story. The General Administration of Public Security paid great attention to it but found nothing, making a tragedy become confusing.
"Is the person responsible for taking the blame old George?" Linn asked.
When he first came to the Old Nanyue Hotel for questioning, he learned from the manager Bowen exactly how many people held the rooftop keys.
Manager Bowen replied at the time that there were three people holding it, and one of them, Old George, left the hotel shortly after the incident and was never seen again.
And this old George has worked at the Old Nanyue Hotel for more than fifty years. When he was young, he worked as a doorman and driver. When he was old, he was responsible for doing chores and managing keys. He has dedicated his whole life to this hotel.
If you want to take the blame, a person who is loyal to the hotel and has lived a sufficient life is undoubtedly the most suitable person.
"Yes." Hotel owner Ralph nodded.
"Manager Bowen said before that old George resigned, but he was actually silenced by you, right? Once he dies, everything will be unconfirmed. Even if the Public Security Bureau has any clues, you can still put the blame on him.
." Linn guessed.
"...Yes." The hotel owner Ralph hesitated for a moment and nodded again.
"You just acquiesced in him causing such a big trouble in your hotel?" Linn looked at Ralph in surprise, "At the very least, this incident will cause your hotel to be plagued by negative news for a long time, and at the worst, it can directly put you out of business.
"
At this time, Phil, the butler, took the initiative to speak again: "Actually, the Old Nanyue Hotel is very profitable, but the majority of the profit does not come from the regular guests..."
Lynn made it clear: "So Ralph doesn't care about the reputation of the hotel. If normal guests don't come, he can entertain those psychopathic dignitaries with more confidence. Even... this incident is a good thing for you."
Propaganda by those inhumane powerful people.”
Silence.
Silence is the best answer.
Lin En, who had seen so many ugly things, couldn't help but be shocked.
This is terrible.
Even the slightest bit of empathy will make you feel uncomfortable.
The Hinde family was just living a peaceful life, but they were targeted by such a group of inhumane lunatics, and ended up like this.
What’s even more ridiculous and terrifying is that the General Administration of Public Security paid special attention to it and did not accept bribes, but it took a full month and a half to find out the truth!
Even if the truth is found out, no one will fight to the death with the Marquis for the lives of seven ordinary people!
"Huh..." Linn took a deep breath.
The prosperity of the Imperial Capital is more prosperous than other places, and the despair of the Imperial Capital is also more desperate than other places.
The Hind family is just a microcosm.
There was no way that Marquis Aldrich had done such a thing to just their family.
And there is no way that the Old South York Hotel only has the Marquis of Aldrich as a customer.
As for the Imperial Capital, there is absolutely no way that there will only be one ‘Old Nanyue Hotel’.
After taking some time to calm down, Lin En still had the same cold expression: "Then let's talk about which dignitaries have visited here. What kind of shady business is carried out here."
When asked about this, everyone's hearts became tense.
Ralph, Marquis Aldrich, and butler Phil felt that Linn wanted to target everyone, and this matter would cause a big fuss.
Lin En was worried about how many powerful people this mission would anger.
"You...really want to know?" hotel owner Ralph confirmed with Linn.
"Tell him the truth!" Before Linn could speak, Marquis Aldrich began to urge loudly.
His idea is very simple.
Lin En has made it clear that he is not afraid of the Aldrich family, so if he wants to save himself at this time, he must drag more people into the water!
All the powerful people involved in this scandal have been unmasked. What will happen?
It's very simple! When the time comes, it will be considered a huge miracle if Linn, Reiner and the others can live one more day in this world!
Once the big shots from all parties eliminated Lynn and Reiner in order to ensure that the scandal would not be leaked, he would not have to worry about the truth about the tragedy of the Hinde family being revealed to the public.
Even if a miracle of miracles happens and Linn and Reiner really bring everyone to justice, then at least everyone can finish playing together and feel more balanced.
Linn glanced at Marquis Aldrich. He knew what the other man was thinking, but he didn't care: "Relph, you can rest assured and don't miss a single name or detail."
"I still have to advise you, enough is enough. Once I name those people, no matter what, this matter cannot be stopped." Ralph ignored Marquis Aldrich's urging and solemnly dissuaded Linn.
.
Of course he didn't do this because he was worried about Lynn's safety.
He just still holds out the hope that everything can go back to the way it was.
Only in this way can he continue to serve the powerful and earn a lot of money from it.
Otherwise, even if this matter is resolved by the powerful people, he will lose their trust and may even be buried with Lin En and Reiner for the sake of their safety.
"Ever since Reiner and I came here, it's up to us to decide whether this matter will stop or not." Linn shattered his illusions and said firmly, "Now, just say,
Has anyone participated in this disgusting rich man’s game?”
