Chapter 56: Put yourself in the shoes, think outside the box
Chu Long always felt that the criminal did not find the items he wanted. When he was at the crime scene, Chu Long discovered that the criminal stayed at the scene for a long time after committing the crime, and did not leave until someone approached the store again.
If you put yourself in the shoes of someone else and commit a crime that hurts others because of this gem necklace, you will never give up. So what should you do?
Waiting for the situation to calm down and searching? Impossible. Not to mention that John is not dead. I don’t know when he will wake up. He knows me and I will be exposed. If I don’t leave, I will be arrested and thrown into a dark prison. That’s not possible.
!
What else can we do? Time waits for no one! At present, only John knows the location of the gem necklace. Those stupid policemen have not thought of this for a while. They will only be obsessed with catching me. So what can I do now?
Woolen cloth?
Extending the time, yes, that's it, but how to extend it? If John doesn't wake up, then no one will identify me! I also have time to slowly look for the gem necklace, but in this case, I can't get it from him
News, forget it! Let’s gain some time first!
Thinking of this, Chu Long quickly walked out of the room and walked towards Corporal Lin En's room.
"Dong dong dong!" Chu Long knocked on Corporal Lin En's door.
"Chu, it's not the time we agreed on yet!" Soon Corporal Lin En opened the door and looked at Chu Long outside the door and asked.
"Go in and talk." Chu Long ignored Corporal Lin En and walked straight into the room.
Corporal Lin En closed the door. There was a pot of black tea and a vase of decorative flowers placed on the wooden display cabinet near the door. He picked up a cup, poured a cup of black tea, put it in front of Chu Long and said, "Tell me,
What did you think of?"
Corporal Lin En sat on the sofa and looked at Chu Long, who was sitting on the side and asked.
"I thought back to the contents of the case report and the beggars' inquiry records that I saw during lunch, and thought that we found in the store that what the criminal was looking for was not found. So what will he want to do now?"
Just as Corporal Lin En was about to answer, Chu Long waved his hand, signaling to listen to him.
"Extend the time so that he can have more time to find the gem necklace. To do this, John must not wake up," Chu Long said in a deep voice.
"You mean he's going to kill John?" Corporal Linn stood up suddenly and said.
Chu Long waved to Corporal Lin En, indicating that he should sit down first and let himself finish speaking. Corporal Lin En sat down helplessly and listened to what Chu Long was going to say next.
"Well, but someone from the police is there, he won't go for a while." Chu Long said with his hands crossed on his chest.
"But he will go to inquire about the situation and spread the news. The police found the gem necklace and are looking for it in various ways."
"There are also signs that John is waking up."
"Time is getting increasingly urgent, so he can only take the risk and go to the hospital for a try." Chu Long told Corporal Lin En everything he thought of, and came up with an idea.
"Everything you said must be satisfied if the murderer is one person. What if it is organized? That would not be true." Corporal Lin sat and listened to everything Chu Long had to say, and thought about it.
Doubts were raised later.
"If the murderer had committed the crime in a gang, John would have been kidnapped a long time ago. Why go to all this trouble! There is absolutely no need." Chu Long said, his mouth was a little dry, and he picked up the black tea and drank it before answering Corporal Lin's doubts.
"And the groom who appears in the early morning and the church member during meal time are undoubtedly the same person, that is, the murderer."
"He spent a long time inquiring about John's living habits, and he did it early in the morning so as not to attract too many people's attention. However, there is always an accident in everything, and Ya Heng's appearance broke this plan."
"Asking Inspector Upton to check the hat shop opposite, there should be some gains." Chu Long leaned on the sofa and told Corporal Linn everything he thought about.
Corporal Lynn thought for a moment, then stood up and walked to the bedroom, dialing the rotary dial automatic telephone placed on the bedside table. After a beeping sound, the call was connected.
"Inspector Upton, this is Corporal Lynn."
"Corporal, you guys are back at the hotel, how's the investigation going?" Inspector Upton's tone showed that he wanted to see what you could find out.
"It seems that those two young police officers haven't returned from their shift yet. I'll leave our findings to you." Corporal Linn didn't care about the other party's annoying tone and said directly.
"Have you really discovered anything?" A surprised question came from the other side of the phone.
"You'll know soon, won't you?"
Corporal Lin didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he said straight to the point: "That's it..."
Corporal Lynn told Inspector Upton all of Chu Long's analysis.
"Can something like this happen?" Inspector Upton asked with the same doubts as Corporal Lynn had questioned for several minutes.
"The Police Department is now blindly searching for the murderer. I don't know how long it will take! You might as well give it a try. Anyway, it is you who caught the murderer and committed a crime, not us." Corporal Lin En said straightforwardly.
Inspector Upton thought about it for a moment, and that’s right! No matter what, it was their police department that benefited from this matter. Of course, the most important thing was his meritorious service. After all, he was responsible for this case, and Corporal Linn and the others also arranged it themselves.
Clues discovered only after entering the crime scene.
After thinking about it like this, Inspector Upton figured it out. After thinking for a moment, a voice came from the phone and said, "Okay, Corporal Lynn, I will make arrangements."
"Okay, let us know if you have any news." Corporal Linn immediately hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, he walked out of the bedroom, sat on the sofa and looked at Chu Long and said, "It's been arranged. Inspector Upton will be waiting at the hospital."
"Corporal, do you have anyone available in London?" Chu Long suddenly said this after Corporal Lynn finished speaking.
"Yes! What's the matter with you?" Corporal Linn asked doubtfully.
"Arrange some people to wear casual clothes and take turns in several waves from now on to monitor Butts Hospital 24 hours a day at different time points."
"The main purpose is to check for people who have appeared near the hospital many times to watch but not go in. This person smells like horse manure. The smell of horse manure is a bit weird, with a pungent smell."
"Keep an eye on this person and don't alert him. If Supervisor Upton arrests someone in the hospital and the person runs away quietly, follow him and find a secluded place to arrest him." Chu Long thought for a while and then told Lin
What did Corporal En want him to do?
"What? Wait, why are you arresting this person?" Corporal Lin frowned and asked strangely.
"If this person really exists, then he is undoubtedly the murderer." Chu Long said, gently turning the ring on his finger.
"You mean the people caught in the hospital are 'bait'?" Corporal Linn thought for a while and said.
"There is this possibility. From John's store, we can see that the other party is an extremely cautious person. He likes to observe the situation in secret and then confirms that the time is right before taking action."
"But he doesn't have much time. It's very possible that he might use a trap to lure out the police secretly and then commit another murder." Chu Long speculated that the other party would do this through the details of the crime committed in John's store.
"Then if Inspector Upton started to inspect them, they wouldn't have ambushed them! Wouldn't the other party prepare in vain?" Corporal Linn asked.
"No, if that's the case, John will be killed directly by the person who committed the murder in the hospital. That person will become the real murderer and go to prison instead of the real murderer."
Chu Long sat up straight and stood up, refilled himself a cup of black tea and explained to Corporal Lin En.
