Cosma Empire

It didn't take long for Mr. Kesma to receive an apology letter from Memnon. He just glanced at it and said to Mrs. Kesma next to him: "This letter was not written by him, but it seemed to be written by a cripple. He couldn't write it." Such a beautiful handwriting."

Cripple is the housekeeper next to Memnon. His real name has long been forgotten, but he has many aliases. The cripple was a nobleman's tutor before he joined Scarlet Dawn. His leg was broken by a nobleman's child, and he had to beat it with a wooden stick more than a dozen times before breaking it. Since then he has been nicknamed by Mr. Cosma, Lame. It is said that he is lame, but you can't find it if you don't look carefully.

This guy looked weak and gentle at the time, but he was actually a ruthless person. At that time, the doctor said that the leg could be saved, but he was going to limp, so he asked the doctor if there was any way not to limp. The doctor told him that if he put a steel bar in, and then fixed the leg bone with a very thin but high-strength special steel wire, he would not look too lame. He agreed, and spent more than a week in bed whimpering at the top of his throat.

It's not that the pain disappeared after a week, but that his voice became hoarse and he couldn't yell out. Since then, everyone respectfully called him "the lame".

Mrs. Kesma looked at the gorgeous font on the letter and nodded, "It's indeed the handwriting of a lame man. Memnon can't write it. What is written in the letter?"

Mr. Cosma threw the letter to Mrs. Cosma, and then lay on the easy chair with a pipe in his mouth, taking two puffs. When Mrs. Kesma asked him what his plans were after reading the letter, a smile appeared on Mr. Kesma's rigid face, "Since he apologized, let's forget about it." Facing Kesma Mr. Kesma continued to say: "He is going to hurt that bastard son of Du Lin. Tell Du Lin about this and let him solve it by himself."

"If he can't do well, he should come back and farm with me. When the time comes, bring that girl back and have a few more children. His life will be considered complete."

For people of the older generation like Mr. Kesma, reality is reality and ideals are ideals. In the past, he could risk his life to challenge the decadent nobles for his ideals, but now he can also let go of everything and live the life he wants in the new world.

It's just that Mr. Kesma may not be very clear that Du Lin is much more capable than he imagined.

In Illian, Amp has been studying Juan's "suicide" case for a long time. He feels that this case is not as simple as it seems, or more complicated than he imagined. He always feels that he may have overlooked something. Things, dare not easily connect all indirect evidence in series. Among these clues and indirect evidence, the most important link was missing, the link that could directly deal a heavy blow to Du Lin.

So he put the case aside for now and took a roundabout approach instead.

in the hotel room,

Detectives from the Police Investigation Bureau who were transferred from other places sat around him. He wrote and drew with charcoal on the white walls of the hotel, and while he was destroying, he said: "I recently heard from the citizens of Illian I have collected some gossip about Durin, and I think this will be the most powerful evidence to defeat Durin from the side." He circled a few names with charcoal, "Not long ago, the provincial people wanted to protest against Durin's disobedience. Using the people of Shengya, we united with the labor union to plan to launch a demonstration, but the demonstration did not start, so let’s find out what exactly happened.”

"Second point, Durin is running a non-governmental organization called the Hometown Association in Illian and Tener. I think this organization may hide something that Du Lin is very concerned about. Find out the members of the Hometown Association, and What are they doing."

"The third point is to check this Carter. Some people say that Carter offended the famous Forrest family in Illian, and then his wife left the local area, and the Forrest family disappeared at the same time. I think there may be something wrong with it. ,Check properly."

An Pu put down the charcoal pencil in his hand, clapped his palms, and took a blackened towel to wipe off the toner on his hands. After that, he said very seriously to the detectives present: "We are not dealing with ordinary criminals. He has very superb criminal methods, a very clever mind, and is good at manipulating people's hearts. What you think is evidence may not necessarily be evidence, and you must find witnesses!"

He looked at his watch, "Our time is running out. If you can't catch this guy in the next ten days, then he will most likely escape the punishment of the law. Gentlemen, please uphold justice !"

After arranging the task, An Pu continued to study the Juan case in the hands of the researcher. Now the case has come to a dead end, and there are no witnesses, which means that the indirect evidence in his hands cannot produce a new definition of Juan's death. Without an executor, if the executor cannot be found, there is no way to implicate Du Lin. In the past few days, he compared all the shoemaker's shops in the city with the only slightly clearer footprint on the scene, and found about forty suspects.

But these people have strong evidence of their alibi... He frowned and thought for a while, then dialed the police station.

"What? You mean that Juan's body hasn't been buried yet?" Anpu was a little surprised. As far as he knew, although Juan was bankrupt and owed a lot of money, his family members were still there. He didn't intend to continue chasing the debt, leaving his family with a way out. Maybe life will not be as rich and expensive as before, but it will always be better than ordinary people.

Most of Juan’s property mortgaged at that time was his real estate, and he did not mortgage his family’s private property. Any piece of jewelry on these rich people can be exchanged for thousands of yuan or more, so his family should live It's ok. Anpu thought that Juan had already been buried, and most families in the empire would bury the dead as soon as possible, so that they could return to the embrace of God, as long as it was not a criminal case and refused to collect the corpses for burial.

But Juan was not buried, which made An Pu feel that things were strange, and he also had a little more thought. He asked the police officer who answered the phone, and the police officer told him that after Juan's death, his family did not come to claim the body, nor did he say that he would be buried in the cemetery. The police station didn't bother to advocate without authorization, what if Juan's family members came to make a fuss? The police officer also provided information. It is said that Juan’s children were sent to other places by him some time ago, and they are on their way back. They should not consider the issue of burial until the family members are gathered together.

An Pu immediately took his clothes and ran to the police station. In the morgue, he saw Juan with a pale face... It was hard to tell from the appearance... that was Juan. It is difficult for people who jump from a building to maintain their basic original appearance. When they fall from upstairs, the huge impact force will make people's head cracked due to the huge impact force, and their limbs will be twisted and broken in unconscious waving. It may be squeezed out of the gang door, or it may tear the skin and spray it directly.

The condition of Juan's body was very bad. In addition to the internal organs not coming out, his head was flattened, his limbs were also distorted, and the most important thing was that his clothes were gone.

"Where are his clothes?" Anpu glanced at the body that had been simply restrained, and there was no need to continue looking at it. Even if there were any clues, they were destroyed. He pinned his hopes on the clothes that Juan was wearing at that time. middle.

The police quickly handed him the bag containing Juan's belongings. He searched the evidence room for more than an hour, finding some clues that may or may not be useful.

When he returned the things to the little policeman, he asked casually, "I saw a lot of cigarette butts on the roof, does he have a big addiction to cigarettes?"

The little policeman shrugged his shoulders, "Do you think I can understand the living habits of these big men?"

After thanking An Pu, he returned to the morgue and took out Juan's tongue. His tongue was already blue, but there was a layer of burnt yellow tongue coating on the surface of the tongue. Anpu dug around and found a nail clipper, scraped off the browned layer of coating on his tongue, put it in a small bag, and left the police station without changing his expression.

He not only obtained evidence illegally, but also stole a lighter among the evidence. It stands to reason that his behavior would make the evidence lose their legal validity, but An Pu didn't care much. It is enough to make up a formality when necessary, but now it is just too late.

He first asked someone to test the scorched yellow substance on Juan's tongue, then found the manager of the hotel, and asked about some things about Juan's life. He learned from the hotel manager that Juan does not smoke, at least he has never smoked in public. As for whether he smokes at home, it is not clear.

An Pu returned to the room and studied the "stolen" lighter over and over again. He decided that it was a very expensive lighter. In addition to the sterling silver body, there was also a lion's eye carved on the lighter casing. There is a tiny ruby. There is also a series of serial numbers on the bottom of the lighter. The price of such a lighter will definitely not be cheap. This is a major discovery in this case.

He continued to add his own clues and chain of evidence, and he had a vague feeling that perhaps all doubts would surface soon.

The test results came out before the meal. Those things were cigarette tar. The cigarette butts on the rooftop should have been smoked by Juan, but he doesn’t smoke. Why did he smoke so much continuously on the rooftop? Could it be that Du Lin said something to him in other ways, and someone sent him a message, and they said something to force Juan to jump off the roof?
