Reborn American Giants

In the study room covered with gray woolen carpets, San Salvador Police Chief Bande Dominguez was wearing a white bathrobe and holding a delicate Smith & Wesson M10 ". 38" revolver in his right hand, with his index finger

Still on the trigger, he pressed against the smooth beech

The desk made of beech wood remained motionless, with a large hole of about ten centimeters on the top of his head facing the door of the study. Red and white liquid covered the entire table, and on the wall behind him, the back of the office chair

, also spattered with scattered blood.

Several commandos tilted the muzzles of the rifles in their hands and looked at the corpse in front of them with some confusion. Their immediate boss, the top leader of all police in San Salvador City.

A commando stretched out his hand to stop Mrs. Band, who was struggling fiercely and wanted to rush into the study, outside the door. Faced with the obstruction, Mrs. Band, an ordinary housewife, broke out with powerful fighting power. However, her opponent was a

She was a strong commando, so even though she left a few blood marks on the team member's exposed wrists and neck, she was still firmly blocked by the opponent's thick arms.

Perhaps she was exhausted, or she saw her husband being "indifferent" to what happened at the door of the study. The unknown outcome in her heart finally overwhelmed Mrs. Band's will. Her knees weakened and she collapsed to the ground.

Go, cover your face with your hands at the same time, and let out a miserable sob.

This is what Konta and District Attorney Calandra saw when they stepped onto the second floor and entered the study.

"Captain," seeing the arrival of Konta and Calandra, Lieutenant Carmanio, the on-site commander who led the arrest operation, swung the rifle he was holding at an angle behind him, and then pulled up the hood to cover his entire body.

With a black mask on his face, he stood at attention and raised his hands in salute.

Konta looked at Carmanio with a livid expression, and asked in a silent tone: "Lieutenant, report the situation..."

Because of the failure of the operation and the anger of not successfully capturing the target, Contarian Camagno, his current deputy, even omitted his name. You can imagine how angry he is now. After Bender's death, it is estimated that many people who were originally

Those worried about this can breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yes," Carmanio didn't care about Konta's attitude towards him. He quickly reported what happened on the scene to the captain and the prosecutor.

"When we broke into the room, we quickly searched the entire first floor and found no target, so I ordered the team members to rush to the second floor..."

"Lieutenant, let's get to the point..." Konta interrupted Carmagno impatiently.

"Yes... we found the target in the study. The target was sitting at the desk. When he found us, he took out a pistol and pointed it at us. I immediately identified myself and then ordered the target to put down the weapon.

After the other party hesitated for a while, he then..."

"Just what..."

"The other party pointed the firearm in his hand at his chin, then pulled the trigger and committed suicide."

…

Konta didn't speak for a while. He approached Director Band's body who was sitting on an office chair, his head lying on the desk, and he stood there in shock.

Calandra grabbed Carmanio and said: "Lieutenant, when you entered the study, what was the other party... Director Bender doing?"

"Uh...what? I'm sorry, Prosecutor Calandra..." Carmanio looked a little distracted and was a little surprised by the prosecutor's sudden question, but he still quickly answered: "We

When I broke into the study, the time was too short and I didn't notice the target's behavior and movements."

"Okay, I understand, you go out first, notify the police station, and ask them to send forensics and on-site investigators to deal with the scene." Calandra looked at the billiard ball that was still swinging on the desk.

, the two small metal balls kept hitting back and forth, making a "bah, bah" collision sound.

"Yes," Carmanio raised his hands again and then walked out of the study with the remaining five team members.

"By the way, Lieutenant, please take Mrs. Band downstairs and be careful," Calandra suddenly called out to Lieutenant Carmanio who was walking to the door. The other person's shoulders seemed to be shaking unnoticeably.

After a moment, he replied "Yes", and then directed the two team members to lift Mrs. Bender who was lying on the ground and disappeared from the door.

Calandra looked at Konta who was standing quietly next to Band's body. She didn't say a word, but her eyes kept looking at a pair of gray cotton slippers turned sideways in front of the desk.

It was casually thrown on the carpet, barely visible in the shadow formed by the desk. However, it witnessed the fate of its owner. On this rainy morning, it left very unexpectedly with many secrets.

this world.

The room was very quiet, which made the sound of raindrops hitting the windows particularly noisy. After a long time, Konta took a long breath and turned his head to look at Prosecutor Calandra who was looking at him without blinking.

, the two people's eyes were a little hesitant to speak, but they did not make a sound.

In this quiet study, it seemed a little weird. In the end, Calandra broke the weird tranquility. She asked Konta, the supreme commander of the operation: "Captain Konta, have you discovered anything?

"

There is a meaning in the words, and no matter how slow Kongta is, he can hear it. He is just a slow person to some people's sophistication. He is not really stupid. On the contrary, when it comes to the detection of the case and the investigation of the scene, Kongta is very smart.

Tower has a very special intuition.

He now feels a numbness in his scalp, and a chill rushes down his spine to the back of his head, because Konta found that Bender's suicide was full of contradictions. This investigation was conducted by the independent prosecutor of the District Prosecutor's Office.

They implemented very strict confidentiality measures for the San Salvador police. Even he didn't know the specific action plan and goals before departure, and it was even less likely for Bender to know.

As a police chief, Konta could understand that when he faced Carmanio and others, his first reaction was to draw his gun and prepare to shoot. However, after the commando revealed his identity, his choice was not clear at all.

After a pause and hesitation, he fired a backhand shot, blowing off half of his head cleanly.

If it were a vicious gangster facing a desperate situation, Konta would definitely believe such decisive means and decisive tactics. However, when it appeared in Bande, a powerful and pampered man, Konta said that this would definitely

It doesn't make sense.

You must know that before a person commits suicide, he must think through the brain, think over and over again, and finally embrace death as a last resort. Once a person cannot think about it and wants to commit suicide, he must consider the cause of the matter and the occurrence of the matter.

, the development, the ending, leads to no way out, and only a dead end can escape.

Generally speaking, people who commit suicide will go through such considerations. This is not a momentary impulse, or even a matter of a day or two. Bender does not meet all these "conditions" at all. He is not a person who commits suicide at all.

A little bit of performance and motivation, which is why Konta is suspicious.

However, all this is just Konta's guess. There is no evidence to prove his inference. Thinking of the faces of the commandos downstairs that are covered by black masks at this moment, except for only two pupils, no expression can be seen.

, the muzzle of the gun slung in his hand has never been hidden secretly

Targeting them, as long as he said something, a chill came to his heart... Konta said to Calandra: "Prosecutor, I think we should leave the scene and wait for the forensic autopsy results and the scene

Let’s discuss it after the survey reports from the surveyors are out.”

Calandra looked at Captain Konta in front of her with a complicated expression. In the end, she said nothing, just nodded, and then quickly left the study, as if she was escaping from something terrible, and went straight downstairs to

Mrs. Band asked for some other information. Now that Band was dead, she could only hope to get some information from Mrs. Band.

Konta stood at the door of the study, turned around and glanced at Director Band's body lying on the desk. With a huge fear, he finally gently closed the wooden door of the study...
