Enforcer's Handbook

Professor Miles is dead.

Song Lan inquired about the location of the incident, which was Professor Miles's residence. According to what the teaching assistant said, the professor returned to the apartment alone after class. When he went to the professor to discuss next week's lectures at night, he discovered the professor's corpse.

"I think one of us must have a broom star physique."

"It's not us, it's you."

Without thinking, Lu Xiang used the control variable method to draw a conclusion when Song Lan went on a business trip to the small town. During that week, the law enforcement department did not encounter any major cases. On the contrary, problems appeared one after another in the small town.

She was very sure that Song Lan was the person with the physique of a famous detective.

Song Lan was speechless.

In the face of hard facts, any argument is useless.

After a moment of silence, he said, "But it was Professor Miles who died this time. If you have anything you want to say, don't hold it in your heart. You can talk to me."

From Lu Xiang's description of Professor Miles, it can be seen that she has always respected the old gentleman very much. After learning about the professor's death, he had already made preparations to provide psychological counseling for Lu Xiang.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Lu Xiang's tone was as calm as ever, "Let's go to the professor's residence."

As a law enforcer, what she can do for the professor is to find the murderer and bring him to justice.

However, this idea was abandoned when the two arrived at the professor's residence, because the person responsible for investigating the case had already reached a conclusion before they arrived.

Professor Myers committed suicide.

There were no signs of struggle or encounter in the room. This afternoon, the professor just returned to his residence as usual, locked the door, and sat at the desk facing the door.

The desk is piled with books related to psychic research, as well as news in this field.

In the drawer on the right hand side of the desk, there is an old-fashioned silenced pistol. It seems that the professor did not want his suicide by swallowing the gun to cause too much noise.

The suicide note on the table was stained with splattered blood. After confirmation by the assistant teacher, it was indeed Professor Myers' notes.

After identification, it seems that the suicide note was written a long time ago. Judging from the contents of the suicide note, Professor Miles had long had the idea of ​​committing suicide, and he has never been able to get over the events of that year.

From the perspective of criminal investigation, the professor was fully motivated, and regret and self-blame have been tormenting him over the years.

In addition to various news and research books on the table, there is also a transparent plastic basket filled with glass marbles. In the words of the teaching assistant, this is Professor Miles’s habit. When he thinks about problems, he always thinks about it. He held the glass beads in his hands and stared at the texture on them.

After Lu Xiang learned about the situation at the scene, he basically came to the conclusion of committing suicide.

However, she did not tell Song Lan the most important conclusion about suicide.

At this moment, the "detective" responsible for investigating the case also finished searching the bedroom and walked out.

"Classmate Lu Xiang, it's such a pity. I didn't expect that we would eventually meet in this way."

The visitor was a tall and thin man.

Wearing a familiar retro-style black trench coat and a top hat, at first glance, he looks like a famous detective from the Middle Ages.

The man's left eye was equipped with an obvious mechanical eye. He was talking to Lu Xiang, but the mechanical eye kept scanning Song Lan and made a subtle sound of axle rotation. He took a few steps forward and said with a smile. He stretched out his metal right hand.

His body has undergone highly prosthetic modifications, but all the modifications look like the quality of technologies that were not yet mature twenty or thirty years ago. Their characteristic is that they will leave extremely distinctive marks on the human body, making them look more... An android is more like a machine.

"Nice to meet you."

After greeting Lu Xiang, the man deliberately came to Song Lan and showed great curiosity towards him, "You must be the famous Mr. Holmes."

"Song Lan."

While shaking hands, Song Lan corrected him.

"Mr. Song Lan, actually I think it's very obvious from the environment at the scene."

Then, the unknown "medieval detective" strode to the desk, "According to the autopsy report, Professor Myers' death time was 18:13 this afternoon, less than 10 minutes after the end of the psychic theory class. For 20 minutes, the surveillance video showed that no one visited the deceased. At 21:31, the teaching assistant came to the deceased's apartment to discuss the teaching content with the deceased and discovered the body.

"In addition to the long-term mental state of the deceased and the various clues left at the scene, the surveillance of the apartment building and the confessions of the guards all proved that Professor Miles could no longer endure the torture in his heart and chose to use the prepared weapon He ended his own life with a silenced pistol. It is worth mentioning that the guards in the apartment are all artificial intelligences, so the possibility of them lying can be ruled out... Do you two have different views on this?"

"Not yet."

Lu Xiang said that this case has no flaws in terms of motive or chain of evidence. Any investigator who visits the scene will come to the same conclusion.

"But why today?"

The assistant teacher with red and swollen eyes couldn't help but ask. Professor Miles was the person he respected the most. For him, the professor was not only his boss, but also his life mentor.

"coincide."

The "Medieval Detective" straightened his bowler hat with his right hand wearing a black leather glove and said, "For a person with long-term psychological problems, he will choose to end his life on any day. As for whether he has been affected by the outside world, Stimulation, or something that awakened painful memories in him, are not enough to change the conclusion of suicide."

If he has something to say.

When talking to the teaching assistant, the mechanical eyes still stayed on Song Lan. It was obvious that he had heard about what happened in the classroom.

"It's such a shame that not everyone has the courage to face their past."

This sentence seemed to be comforting the teaching assistant, and it also seemed to be said specifically to Song Lan.

"Since it is determined to be a suicide, there is no need for the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau to intervene."

Lu Xiang interrupted the conversation between the detective and Song Lan. She recognized his identity from the emblem on his brooch. In other words, this person had no intention of hiding his identity from the beginning.

But apart from his identity, she knew nothing about the man in front of her.

"certainly."

The man nodded and said, "This is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Investigation Bureau. Now that I have reached a conclusion, I will leave soon."

It is not uncommon for people to commit suicide because they are unable to face the past, and it is naturally not enough to attract the attention of the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau.

However, he knew very well that once the news of Professor Myers' death spread, Lu Xiang would definitely come here as soon as possible.

This case can serve as an opportunity for them to meet.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself."

The "Medieval Detective" suddenly remembered something, and just when he was about to pass by Lu Xiang and Song Lan, he stopped at the right moment.

He deliberately lowered his voice and looked at Lu Xiang with one eye, while the other mechanical eye continued to observe Song Lan's reaction.

From the first moment they met, Song Lan realized that this person was not compatible with him.

——"My name is Angre Saffron, and I am a detective."
