Three related people, including one deceased, only saw each other, but they were able to sort out a complete murder case.
However, this "completeness" is made up of separate confessions spliced together. The biggest flaw is that no body was found.
At least one of the three of them lied.
"Can you talk about the deceased? Well... maybe we should call him a missing person. I don't think he is dead until I see the body with my own eyes." Victor put away his joking mentality and looked at the case with a serious attitude.
.
Tony snapped his fingers at an inspector next to him, and the other person handed him the document in his hand.
The former held the piece of paper and said to Victor: "As I said just now, he originally served in the White Crown and was found to be conducting illegal information exchanges with the outside world."
"With whom?"
"It's not clear. After all, Glenn is dead, but according to the clues provided by White Crown, the other party should be related to the Davis family. Maybe they are an organization. I believe William also got this information, so he sent you
Come and assist us."
Hearing this, Victor couldn't help but frowned.
Will the threshold wound...
"What kind of information exchange is it specifically?" Victor asked next.
Tony stuffed the documents into the brown paper bag, and then told Victor: "All the information about Glen Ridge is here. We won't be able to finish it in a while. You can go down and check it out yourself."
Judging from the other party's appearance, he seemed to be getting ready to break up the meeting.
Victor took the paper tape and asked him: "Are you busy?"
"Of course, this is not the only thing we have to deal with, Mr. No. 99." Tony stood up, "Maybe you can find time to walk around the city and meet the witnesses and what else.
Please contact us if you need our help.”
After he finished speaking, Li Anlong, who was reading a book, suddenly took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. He turned to Victor and said, "It's getting late. You can continue tomorrow."
So that's it... Victor felt a little hungry too, so no wonder Tony had to send the guest off tactfully.
After the meeting, the two parted at the door of the Inspection Bureau. Li Anlong contacted the carriage to go to the college by himself. He would not live in the club arranged by the Inspection Bureau.
Victor had no choice. He returned to the club and had a meal before taking an early rest.
The next morning, the two met at the agreed place to find the witnesses based on the contents of last night's information.
The first place we went to was the police headquarters in San Fran, where the criminal accused of murder, Garry Neto, was currently being held.
After showing their IDs, the two easily received cooperation from the police and soon arrived in front of the prisoner and met across the cold iron fence.
He was a very ordinary man, but his mental state was extremely poor. It could be said that he was on the verge of collapse.
His hands were clutching his scalp until it was scratched and bleeding.
"Gary Neto?"
Victor tried to ask him a question, but the other party's response was to growl and resist, refusing to answer any questions.
Victor did not give up and continued to guide the other party, finally getting a reply.
"I didn't! I told you everything! I just went in to steal something! I didn't see anyone, why did you frame me for murder?"
Gary's hands were tied and he banged the table violently.
"Then you have to explain it in detail. If we can catch the real criminal, won't we be able to clear your name?" Victor persuaded.
Gary looked at him fiercely: "What else is there to say? I was knocked unconscious and what I saw when I woke up was that woman! I didn't see a body. If there was a body, it must have been the woman who did it! He killed
He killed his own husband and then put the blame on me!"
"But it's also possible that what she said is true. If no additional clues can be provided, you will be the one who ends up on the execution ground after all." Li Anlong closed the book and looked at the prisoner with a smile.
Gary was stunned for a moment, then grabbed the iron railing and roared: "No! You can't do this!"
"Your irritability will only make things irreversible. That lady is a decent person. Compared with a jerk like you, of course everyone is more willing to believe her." Li Anlong continued to be aggressive.
These words finally made the prisoner soften. He calmed down his temper, slumped back to his seat, and honestly explained the whole story.
The time, place, people, and events were described in great detail, but there was nothing that was ignored in the report by the Police Bureau and the Police Department.
That day, he found that no one was in the deceased's home, so he broke the window from behind and sneaked into the room. When he was rummaging through the bedroom for valuable jewelry, he was knocked unconscious from behind.
When he woke up, Gary was lying in the living room with a bloody sharp knife in his hand and his body was covered in blood.
Then, he heard a woman screaming and turned around to see her standing near the entrance.
Gary didn't understand what happened at all and wanted to explain to the lady, but she opened the door and ran out, disappearing soon after.
Gary knew he was in trouble, so he quickly threw away the murder weapon and fled. As a result, he was caught by the police two streets away and escorted to the police station.
This was the whole process. Victor and Rianlong then left the police station and analyzed it as they walked.
"Can you divine whether he is lying?" Victor suggested.
Li Anlong smiled and set up the divination staff, then silently recited the test in his mind.
As the divination staff fell, Li Anlong shook his head: "No."
Victor continued: "There are doubts in the case. The first one is that Gary was moved to the living room after he was unconscious. Why did the other party do that? If the murderer's purpose was to kill Glenn, why didn't Gary just break into the house when he accidentally broke into the house?
Kill him too?"
"The obvious scapegoat, isn't it?" Li Anlong clasped his hands behind his back, the sun shone on his face, and the brooch shone brightly.
"Could it be Missy who did it?" Victor pinched his chin, "She secretly knocked out Gary and faked the scene so that he could take the blame?"
"Wouldn't it be more convincing if there was a body?" Li Anlong questioned, "Since the scene was faked and the body was hidden, there is no evidence to accuse Gary."
"Besides...where could she hide the body? Everywhere in the house must have been searched by people from the police station. It was also broad daylight. A woman could move the body out of the house in a short time and put it on the street.
Wouldn't someone see you on the transport?" Victor also felt strange.
Invisible art?
"Let's go find the postman!" he suggested.
Rianlong did not object, and the two again contacted the postman who claimed to have seen Glenn's body based on the information provided by Tony.
The other party looked very nervous when he saw the police came to the door. Victor bought him a cup of coffee to stabilize his mentality.
"I didn't miss a word, Mr. Inspector," the postman said seriously.
He is not very old, no more than thirty years old.
"I know. I have read the report provided by the police station. I just came to you to ask in person. Can you elaborate more? Are you sure that what you saw was Mr. Glenn's body?" Victor crossed his arms over his chest.
, asked leaning against the chair in the cafe.
The postman swallowed his saliva and nodded: "Yes, of course! There was blood on the guy's chest, and there was a knife stuck in it."
"With a knife stuck in it?"
"Yes, the police asked me, and I know they caught the criminal with a fruit knife, the same as the one left at the scene."
