Sanfran's contact person turned out to be the director of the Police Bureau branch, a bald middle-aged man with an unserious face named Tony Carlos.
The other party actually came to pick up Victor and Li Anlong in person near the pier, and arranged accommodation for them in Sanfran.
That house is not far from the branch of the Inspection Bureau. It is a garden villa with good conditions, even better than the Xianxiang Mansion. It can be said to be quite luxurious.
However, Li Anlong said that he did not need additional preferential treatment because he had already been assigned a dormitory by Sanfran Public University.
If there is no investigation mission, he will first choose to live in the academy.
This was not something worth worrying about. Tony didn't say anything. After the two put their luggage away, he led them to the Police Bureau branch.
The branch is located in the Guangdun District of Sanfran, which is also the core area of the capital. The planned area is very large, and the White Crown of the Presidential Palace is also nearby. However, because the urban construction is too dense, you can only see it by climbing to the upper floors of the branch building.
Six towers.
The Sanfran Branch is a little different from the Renekton Police Station. It is just a building, more than 20 stories high, standing in the middle of a group of buildings.
As they climbed the stairs, Tony said to Victor: "William Marshall didn't say you would arrive in San Francisco today, Mr. 99."
Victor scratched his head in embarrassment: "Well... for some reasons, I have to leave early."
Tony was not the kind of serious person. He did not complain about Victor, but just shrugged: "Then we have to wait for a while. After all, we are meeting at short notice."
Victor swallowed, and then asked him: "Is it about this mission?"
Tony nodded.
Victor asked again: "Are there any details you can disclose to me in advance?"
Tony was slightly surprised: "What? Didn't William tell you the situation?"
Victor thought for a while: "Did he say he was interrogating prisoners or something... said he was related to a secret organization?"
After hearing this, Tony stopped on the stairs and turned his head with confusion on his face: "What prisoner?"
Victor was stunned on the spot. He looked at Li Anlong, who was silent behind him, and the other person smiled back, as if telling him - "I don't know either."
Tony touched the handrail of the corridor and glanced curiously back and forth at their red hair.
"I'm sorry, we didn't catch the prisoner. Either you heard wrong, or William was talking nonsense, but we did encounter some difficult things and need the help of your Anti-Suppression Department."
While they were talking, the three of them had already entered the conference room.
The room was different from what Victor had imagined. It was not a spacious place with a big table. Instead, it was very cozy. The seats were all sofas. There was a coffee table next to the sofa. There was a fireplace in the end for heating.
A lady made tea for the three of them, and Tony asked them to sit down and wait. Several other supervisor-like guys came in one after another to join the meeting.
After a brief exchange, Victor roughly understood what this mission was about.
There is indeed no prisoner, but there is a suspect named Glenn Rich, an agent of the White Crown Intelligence Department.
The White Crown discovered that he was conducting some kind of illegal information exchange with the outside world, and suspected that he was a spy. But when they were about to arrest him, something went wrong in the middle...
After listening to this introduction, Victor roughly understood why William said he was here to interrogate the prisoner. If Glenn was caught, wouldn't he be the prisoner?
"He ran away?" Victor sipped his tea and glanced at everyone present curiously, "So you need the help of the Anti-Suppression Department to find him?"
"No..." Tony shook his head, "He died..."
Victor's hand holding the tea cup paused.
"Dead? Then what's the use of calling us here?" Victor chuckled, "I can't resurrect the dead."
"I'm not asking you to resurrect him." Tony's expression darkened and he said seriously, "But I need you to find out the truth about this man. His death revealed something weird."
Putting down the tea cup, Victor continued to smile and said: "I'm afraid the truth is this: He found out that you had found him, so he committed suicide out of fear of crime?"
"It's not that simple. Just listen to me." Tony took a deep breath and told the whole story.
First of all, the address where Glen Rich died was in his own home, and the police department had caught the murderer, which means that he did not commit suicide out of fear of crime, but committed suicide.
The person who killed him was a thief who killed the owner of the house during a burglary. The motive makes sense. He was afraid of being caught and took desperate measures.
But during the interrogation process, although the thief named Gary admitted the truth about his burglary, he otherwise killed people and argued that he fainted for no reason at the time. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a pool of blood next to
The deceased's wife was a woman named Missy Dorsey.
When the woman found him, she ran out of the room screaming and reported the incident.
"Oh...then what? Didn't you hear any bizarre plot?" Victor interrupted inappropriately and yawned.
Tony was a little unhappy at being interrupted, but he did not complain. After all, the other person was an assistant to the minister according to his position, which was the same level as him as the branch director.
"But the strange thing is that there was no body at the scene..." Tony continued, "The blood on Gary's body does belong to Glenn, but the police department found nothing."
Hearing this, Victor couldn't help but complain: "Wait a minute! There is no body? Why are you sure he is dead? There is no evidence of homicide or suicide?!"
"The lady named Missy claimed that her husband was killed by Gary." Tony continued.
"So she has seen the body?" Victor asked back.
Tony frowned and shook his head: "She didn't either..."
Victor refused to admit defeat and said: "Then she is lying. That makes sense."
Tony continued to shake his head: "But unfortunately, the original person who reported the crime was not her, but a postman."
"postman?"
"Yes, while delivering the letter, the other party found Glenn Rich lying at home, covered in blood, so he was so frightened that he directly reported the case... In other words, someone who had nothing to do with Glenn
Glenn's body has indeed been seen."
"In this case..." Victor held his chin and pretended to be a detective, "That means Gary hid the body. You have to force him to tell the truth."
"But Gary claimed that he had never seen the male owner of the house from the time he entered the house until he woke up after fainting." Tony's expression became more and more confusing, "In other words, the murderer has never seen the deceased..."
ah?
Victor was stunned. He looked at Li Anlong next to him. It turned out that the other person did not listen carefully from the beginning. Instead, he was flipping through the books he carried with him. The brooch on his clothes was still shining.
"He's lying!" Victor raised a finger, "There's something wrong with this."
Tony replied tangledly: "Indeed, but we have repeatedly confirmed it and used a lot of interrogation techniques to come to the conclusion that the murderer has never met the owner of the house. He doesn't even know who Glenn is, nor does he describe him.
There are no physical features of the deceased."
At this point, Tony paused and stared at Victor.
Victor understood from that look what kind of help the other party needed, so he confirmed the core point of the incident again.
"The postman...he saw the murderer?"
"No……"
"Where's Missy?"
"nor."
"Has Missy seen the mailman?"
"nor."
"Has Gary seen the mailman?"
"He said he didn't see anyone else except Missy..."
After confirming, Victor frowned and concluded: "In other words, the postman only saw the body of the deceased, but not the murderer or the wife of the deceased. The wife of the deceased found the murderer, but did not see the body of the postman or her husband.
, and the murderer not only did not see the postman, he did not even see the person he killed, he only saw the wife of the deceased..."
