In Secred, suspects who have not been convicted are not allowed to be held for more than a full day.
As a police bureau, although there is a way to extend this time slightly, it will not be too long. This is why Henry said that Rufu can only be detained until the morning of the day after tomorrow.
It was already very late when Victor returned to Xianxiang Mansion. He quietly slipped back to the butler's room, locked the door and opened the bathroom door.
A pitch-black sparrow flew out from inside, and when it pounced on him, it turned into a puddle of squirming mud, clinging to Victor's shoulder.
"Xiao Hei!"
Victor called the thing in a deep voice, and the black ooze monster arched up like a soldier following orders.
"Cat!"
As he finished speaking, the mutated protoplasm began to tremble continuously, and its black fleshy body gradually formed the outline of a feline, and grew jet black hair.
In less than half a minute, a black cat with blue eyes lay lazily on Victor's shoulder.
This is the result of Victor's continuous training. Now, as long as there is no external force to destroy it, Xiao Hei can maintain one form for more than half an hour.
And there seems to be a sense of connection between it and Victor. Sometimes, Xiao Hei can understand what Victor means without even speaking.
Whatever it eats, it can change into anything, and it may even become a human in the future.
I just don’t know if this thing will walk, sit, and lie down like a normal person after it becomes a human, or will it retain its original nature and remain a terrifying and stupid creature.
After training this guy a little, Victor was not in a hurry to go to bed.
He took today's arrest of Rufu as an opportunity to raise his hand to make fortune-telling fortunes. As the golden light suddenly appeared on his knuckles, his thumb stopped at the "red mouth" position.
"Is it Chikou again?" Victor frowned and fell into deep thought.
This hexagram appeared several times in Missouri, and each time it brought about horrific incidents related to the invisible arts.
The limbed monster in the fog of the forest in the early morning, the fascinated chief engineer and his staff on the Kaleidoscope...
Just like what is described in the hexagram: Pedestrians are in panic, chickens and dogs are causing mischief, and sick people who go out to the west must beware of curses, for fear of contracting Yun diseases.
There is no need to examine the original meaning. The "curse" and "disease" here are not just invisible techniques...
If he had something to think about, Victor stroked Xiao Hei's head.
"Bring me the map!"
Following his finger pointing, Xiao Hei jumped onto the cabinet, opened the cabinet door with his claws, and took the map inside to Victor.
Victor took a closer look and found out, starting from the Xianxiang Mansion, where did the patient come out of the West?
His finger drew a line on the map, and there were so many locations involved that it was impossible to tell anything about it just by looking at it.
Can we find the place where Luffy hid his body in just one day tomorrow?
Or you can find evidence that the other party murdered Joseph.
Victor held his chin and thought, and suddenly a plan came into his mind.
……
The next morning, Henry came to visit and was sent to Will by Ms. Permis.
After Will sent away the maid, he took Henry to the study to meet with Victor.
"It's really troublesome. I really can't understand why you put yourself behind the scenes. Thomas, who wants to kill you most, can't reach out to Renekton now."
The first thing Henry said after sitting down was to complain to Victor.
He hopes to sit in the living room and chat, at least there is a fireplace, that is the way to entertain guests.
"My enemies are much scarier than Thomas, so except for a few people in the police station, try not to let more people know where I am." Victor responded with his legs crossed.
Henry doesn't know that he has been parasitized by the coyote statue, and the problem is superficial.
Even I don’t know what consequences that thing will bring. Risky exposure of this secret may make Victor a target of the Anti-Suppression Department.
Henry sighed: "Forget it, I asked for a record of the investigation of Roof from the police station. After Joseph's death, Roof was called by the Laketon Police Department to make a record, and there were also witnesses.
The confession is inside."
Henry put a brown paper document bag on the coffee table, and Victor took it out and flipped through it briefly.
The content recorded in it is very normal, roughly the state of Joseph when he died, and how Ruf was eliminated as a suspect.
It can be known from Ruf's transcript that Joseph had a mental problem after the last divination, and the circus could not continue to operate normally, and it has been suspended since that day.
Then, Ruf rented a room alone to take care of Joseph, and he stayed like this for a month. Later, because the circus' expenses could not support it, the employees and partners who had followed Joseph left one after another, and the old site was abandoned. Then suddenly one day, Joseph died violently in the rental house. The police arrived at the scene and inspected the body. No problems were found. It was just an ordinary natural death.
The testimonies of other witnesses were taken from circus employees and people living near the warehouse. They also proved that Joseph had gone crazy more than a month ago, and it was Ruf who took his uncle to take care of him alone.
Judging from the property Joseph left behind, there was no reason for Ruf to murder him. His uncle was not a wealthy man, and it was not worth risking his life to inherit this little thing.
In the testimonies of these witnesses, Victor only found one thing that aroused his curiosity.
"After Joseph's death, Ruf went back to the old warehouse several times. Some residents nearby witnessed it. Why?"
Henry looked at Victor's finger and replied in confusion: "What's so strange about this? Didn't the circus restart later? Ruf must have gone back to clean up the old things, and he must continue to use the ones that can be used. You see...
The eyewitness testimony said that he was driving a carriage and pulling goods..."
Really?
Victor's eyebrows rose, his eyes tightened, and he analyzed the confession word for word.
"No...no, you see, Mr. Downton's confession clearly stated that he saw Mr. Roof driving into the old warehouse with goods and then coming out with a carriage."
Henry leaned over to take a look, and asked in surprise: "That's it! Is there any problem?"
"On the contrary!" Victor pointed out the loophole, "Shouldn't it be that you go in with a carriage and come out with the goods?"
Hearing this, Henry understood in an instant.
"You are right. If he is preparing to restart a new circus, he should not continue to transport things to the old site."
Victor clapped twice, and Henry continued to ask questions.
"I can indeed feel that this guy is full of lies, but why did he want to murder Joseph?"
From the police investigation, it can be found that Joseph is not a rich man, and he is not as good at running a business as Roof after taking over the circus. Today, Roof is much richer than Joseph.
What Henry suspected was Roof's motives.
Victor thought thoughtfully, then sneered and said to him: "Why are you still thinking like an ordinary policeman?"
After hearing this, Henry replied with a slight displeasure: "Huh~! If you have any ideas, just tell me quickly and don't always tease me."
Victor pointed at the name Joseph and said: "Inheritance is not necessarily just money..."
Henry didn't react at first, but a few seconds of thinking allowed him to grasp the problem.
