Chapter 136: The person in charge absconding in fear of crime
"No! I've looked through all the places where things can be hidden. There are indeed toys for babies, but there are no puppets."
De Gaulle took out his handkerchief to dry his sweat. At this moment, Uma suddenly rushed out and started chatting with a maid in the corridor. Without saying a few words, she ran back again and anxiously told the two of them: "Mr. Dutch is back.
Yes, please leave quickly!"
To no avail, de Gaulle and Victor could only go to the lobby in the front yard to wait. As for the room that had been messed up, Uma finally left it to clean up.
Not long after, Dutch came back, and he was with Siqin.
He learned that de Gaulle and Victor were waiting in the hall, so he ordered the servants to entertain them well.
Xiqin's face was gloomy, he did not participate in the communication with the detectives, and went elsewhere alone.
Dutch put his cane upright next to the sofa, brought a cup of coffee and sat in front of De Gaulle and Victor, asking them about their recent progress.
Then, de Gaulle told Dutch what happened at Moon Home.
When Dutch heard that Tom was dead, he, who was normally calm in the past, also showed surprise.
"Detective Tom died? Was it because he was investigating our family's case?"
"I guess so, and the person who killed him probably served your Berkeley family in the past." De Gaulle continued to tell Dutch his entire reasoning and judgment about the case.
Of course, except for the fact that I just went through their bedroom.
"That's it... do you think the murderer who killed Shasa's child and made Shasa unconscious was one of those two maids?"
"Yes, Tom's death provides us with key clues."
After de Gaulle finished speaking, Dutch couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a pity... I couldn't see the murderer with my own eyes, otherwise I could have identified her. After the two maids left the villa, they didn't say where they would go in the future, so how are you going to find them next?"
De Gaulle did not show any concern after hearing this and had already thought of a plan of action.
"Detective Tom's death has been investigated by the Laketon Police Department. They will first find Moon Home, the owner of the housekeeping service company. The other party must have important clues. We just need to wait for news from the police.
.”
"Secondly, Tom and Pippen moved separately, so where did Pippen go? He should also know the news of Tom's murder by now. This morning's newspaper published the incident in a prominent section. Pippen must have seen it
There will be some concern. If he is not dead yet, I guess he will try to contact us proactively in the next two days."
"As long as the two sides exchange views, maybe they can help us eliminate a suspect."
After listening to de Gaulle's action plan, Dutch closed his eyes slightly, nodded and said: "Then please set off, but I have to explain first that I have always had a very bad premonition recently, and time may be running out, you understand me
Do you mean it?"
De Gaulle frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. He called Victor and left Stormwind Villas.
As he said before, the two went straight to the Laketon Police Station, found his sergeant friend, and asked him about the progress of Tom's case.
However, Chief John was not responsible for Tom's case because he had to organize manpower to search for the whereabouts of gangsters, and only provided them with a little information.
"I heard that the person in charge of Moon Home has been found. Oh no...his home address has been found, but the guy is not there. The police station has sealed off his house and is investigating and collecting evidence there."
After hearing this, de Gaulle's eyes lit up, he quickly asked for the address, left the police station again and rushed there.
After arriving at the address, the two of them saw people wearing police helmets enforcing security outside the house. The door of the two-story building with a tacky appearance was open, lights were on inside, and voices could be heard. It seemed that the police had tried to find a way to enter.
Went to the house.
De Gaulle also wanted to go in, but was stopped by the police under martial law, so he asked about the owner of the house.
"The suspect fled in fear of crime, and we are searching his home for evidence of murder."
Hearing this, Victor was not surprised. He stood outside the iron gate and looked inside. Occasionally, he could see police officers walking around in the corridor, as if they were cleaning something.
"Hey! You may not recognize me, but this murder case was reported by me. My name is De Gaulle Chaclo, and I am a detective." De Gaulle revealed his identity, hoping that the police in front of him could reveal more information.
.
The person who stopped the two people was a young man. He frowned and replied: "Detective? Although we are grateful for the clues you provided, we have not entrusted you to assist in the investigation. Those confessions have already described the matter.
It is clear that we have every reason to suspect that the person in charge of Moon Home plotted this murder."
"No, there's another woman? I mean, he has an accomplice."
De Gaulle once again recounted yesterday's confession, but the police officer in front of him said that the police chose to pursue the best people for the time being, such as Mr. Francis, the owner of Moon Homes, whose home address can easily be found
.
As for that woman... de Gaulle provided too few clues when he took his confession yesterday. He only described her appearance and did not know where the woman might be hiding. It was not easy to catch her.
At this time, the people inside were moving things out of the house one after another, one box after another, as if they were ransacking a house. Victor and De Gaulle were dumbfounded.
"I said... the other party is only a tentative suspect. How come you emptied other people's homes?"
"We just moved his things out and put them here temporarily. I'm afraid you don't know how messy this house is." A middle-aged policeman who was moving things angrily threw the box at the door.
At this time, Victor discovered that the box contained some dirty sundries, which showed that the owner of the housekeeping service company did not like tidying up the room very much, just like de Gaulle.
The police outside the door began to rummage through the contents of the box, apparently trying to find some clues.
However, it was impossible for them to notice the most noteworthy thing, because their eyes were all fixed on the paper debris.
Only Victor saw it.
He saw a flesh-colored calf sticking out of the box, just like a child being placed upside down.
Victor's eyes widened, but before he could speak, De Gaulle noticed the look in his eyes and suddenly saw the thing.
"Hey! Look there's a kid over there!"
As he yelled, the policemen were startled and hurried over to grab the calf and pull it out.
As a result, when people took a look, they saw that it was not a child at all, but a puppet with exquisite workmanship that looked real from a distance!
"Damn it! Don't scare us by screaming!" the policeman roared at De Gaulle, and then stuffed the toy into a large evidence bag.
"Do you think that thing looks like the weird doll that Ms. Uma said?" De Gaulle leaned behind Victor and asked softly.
Victor frowned and stared at it without saying anything.
"We have to find a way to get it over!" de Gaulle finally said, but he had a dark idea in his mind.
