Sequence: The God Eater

Chapter 17 The Police Station’s Suspicion

Because the wooden building had already aged, when Qin Siyang left, the whole building caught fire.

The raging fire could not be put out at all.

When the fire brigade arrived, they could only watch helplessly as the fire burned everything down.

In half an hour, this thirty or forty-year-old wooden building, a witness before and after the end of the world, was reduced to ashes.

The fire brigade looked among the ashes and finally found a burnt body with a knife that had been blackened by the fire, so they immediately contacted the police station.

After receiving the alarm, the police station immediately sent people here.

The leader of the team is still Inspector Orlov.

Olof kicked the standing black wood, and the wood cracked and broke into many pieces.

Looking at this area, he shook his head:

"This kind of fire seems to be common recently."

Roylena said: "Yes, as my [Scent Singer] sequence is known to more people, they all know that only by using fire can the smell left behind be completely eliminated. Therefore, when criminals commit crimes, they especially like to Use fire."

"Criminal? This fire was not an accident? Have you already led people to investigate the scene?"

"Yes, Detective Orlov. Among the ashes, there was a burnt corpse with a knife on the chest. He kept his hands tied behind his back. He should have been killed."

"Take me to see it."

"good."

Both of them were sequence ability users, and their physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people. They kicked aside some charred wooden boards and came to Liu Dazhi's unrecognizable corpse.

Orlov knelt down, took out a cigar, cut a slit with a pair of scissors, and then placed it on the burning wood aside to light it.

He took a drag on his cigar and then studied the body.

"On the surface, it looks like he was tied up and then stabbed to death directly from the chest. Give me a pair of gloves."

The police officer on the side handed Olof a pair of white gloves.

He held a cigar in his mouth, put on white gloves, and began to play with Liu Dazhi's body.

"This man's jaw is broken. It seems to be the result of a heavy impact. Are there any clues?"

The police officer on the side shook his head: "No, a fire destroyed a lot of evidence. Judging from the deformation of his bones, it seems to be the result of being hit with a baseball bat."

"It's relatively poor here, and things like baseball bats are rare. Even if there is one, it's probably made of wood. So, we can't find this murder weapon at all."

Orlov nodded, thinking the police officer's analysis made sense.

"Does any of the neighbors know anything?"

"Yes. The deceased's name was Liu Dazhi, who worked as a network administrator at a nearby Internet cafe. The time of the incident was approximately 7:20 to 7:25. His neighbors heard someone knocking on his door before the fire, asking him to open the door. The trash at the door was thrown away, and there seemed to be some dispute. "

"According to the timeline, he should be the one who broke into Liu Dazhi's house, killed him, and robbed his house."

"Do you know what that person looks like?"

The police officer shook his head: "No one saw it. Because it was too early, many people hadn't woken up yet. Those who heard Liu Dazhi arguing with others were all people who got up early to go to work."

Olof did not respond after hearing this, he lowered his eyebrows in thought, and then asked:

"Are the conditions at Liu Dazhi's house the best in this building?"

"No. There are two female workers in the cosmetics factory in this building, and their incomes are higher than Liu Dazhi's. Both of them have mobile phones, and it was they who called the fire station and called the fire truck. "

"Are they married?"

"One is married and the other lives alone."

After hearing this, Orlov shook his head: "Let's not characterize this case as a burglary yet."

"Why?"

Orlov did not answer immediately, squinted his eyes again, and took two puffs of his cigar: "If it was a home invasion, why not rob the single female cosmetics factory worker, but the ordinary Internet cafe network administrator Liu Dazhi?"

"This...maybe it was a temporary idea?"

"On the spur of the moment? This person doesn't look like it. He first quarreled and asked Liu Dazhi to open the door, and then went into murder, robbery and arson. His techniques were skillful and highly targeted."

"If he acted impromptuly, he would have stayed here and kidnapped anyone who went out alone, and then snatched their keys and robbed the house."

Roylena asked: "Inspector Orlov, do you mean that someone wants to kill Liu Dazhi?"

"I'm just saying that it's very possible. We have to investigate further to find out the specific details. By the way, you said he is the network administrator of the Internet cafe?"

"That's right."

Orlov looked around: "The person who can open an Internet cafe on the edge of such a safe zone is probably not an ordinary resident with a simple background. Go ask him and you may be able to gain something."

Wang Defa was sitting idle in the Internet cafe when he met Olof and others.

"Hey, officers, why are you here at my little internet cafe? Do you need my cooperation for anything?"

Wang Defa's face was respectful, but he was wondering in his heart what thing he had done that was found out and attracted these police.

He runs an Internet cafe here and has done a lot of gray area things. If any one of them is shaken off, it will be enough for him to live a hard life in the police station for several years.

"We are here because we have nothing to do with you. We just want to get to know you personally."

“Who are the officers trying to get to know?”

"Liu Dazhi, you know, right?"

"Oh, he's the network administrator of our Internet cafe. He's resting at home today. What do the police officers want from him? He doesn't have a mobile phone or computer. I can't contact him. The police officers may have to come tomorrow."

Orlov shook his head: "No, we are not looking for Liu Dazhi. We are looking for you. Because just this morning, Liu Dazhi was killed."

"Killed?" Wang Defa's eyes widened: "He is a dead fat man, why kill him?"

Seeing that Wang Defa's surprise didn't seem to be fake, Olof asked again: "Do you know who he has offended recently?"

Wang Defa was confused: "He is a network administrator who only cares about charging and turning on the phone. Who can he offend? Even if he offends someone, who will kill him?"

No matter how hard Wang Defa tried, he never guessed that the person who killed Liu Dazhi was Qin Siyang, who had just met him today.

Orlov added: "On-site inspection, it seems that he was burglarized. Do you have any clues about this?"

"Sir, home invasion and robbery are murders. Ask me, where can I get any clues?"

Olof felt that Wang Defa might not be suspicious, but he still asked: "Have you been in the Internet cafe all day today?"

"Ang, it's always there. You can ask anyone online here and they will all testify."

"Yes, Boss Wang is always here."

"Yes, I can prove it. If Liu Dazhi dies, it must have nothing to do with Boss Wang."

"Boss Wang, I remember that you seemed to be looking for someone this morning and left for a while?"

A young man with a pockmarked face said with a smile.

Wang Defa frowned and realized that this young man seemed to be someone he had scolded for defaulting on the Internet fee.

I didn't expect that he would be tripped up in front of the police today!

Wang Defa narrowed his eyes and looked at the man, thinking about how to teach him a lesson.

When Olof heard what the pockmarked young man said, he asked, "Wang Defa, is what he said true?"

"It's true." Wang Defa didn't care. Because in his opinion, Liu Dazhi's death definitely had nothing to do with Qin Siyang.

"Who is the person looking for you? When did he look for you? How long has he been gone?"

"My impression is already a little blurry. Oops, I don't know why I have such a headache and I can't remember it at all. Just ask that pockmarked young man. He probably remembers it better than I do."

This time, Wang Defa was no longer so enthusiastic about Olof's inquiry, but pretended to have a headache and avoided the topic.

Liu Dazhi's death had nothing to do with him, it was a certainty. It would be fine if he just cooperates a little bit.

The white-haired detective actually asked him about his personal affairs. Doesn't he know what it means to open an Internet cafe in a slum? Even the detective couldn't hold back on private matters, so how could he talk about them casually? !

Olof looked at Wang Defa's face with an unhappy expression.

Wang Defa also pretended to cover his head, revealing one eye from his hands, staring at Olof coldly, full of warning.

Olof knew that Wang Defa had a complicated background and could not embarrass him too much without evidence.

More importantly, no matter how you look at it, Wang Defa has nothing to do with Liu Dazhi's death.

So, he walked up to the pockmarked young man and said, "Excuse me, do you remember when the boss left and how long he left?"

The pockmarked young man rolled his eyes and said: "He left at about seven o'clock and left for about an hour! I heard you just said that Liu Dazhi was dead? Maybe he did it!"

"Fart!" said a person next to the pockmarked young man: "Boss Wang turned on the machine for me at about seven o'clock. He was always here when I was here. How could he be gone for an hour?!"

The pockmarked young man curled his lips: "That's because I remembered it wrong."

Wang Defa clenched his fists at the bar. The pockmarked young man seemed to be dancing a little too hard, thinking he was just an ordinary Internet cafe owner.

Hearing the rescue from the person next to him, Olof asked again: "So, what time did you turn on the phone? Can I take a look?"

The man looked at the login information and said: "Seven o'clock thirteen."

"Okay, thank you."

The fire was lit around 7:20, and Wang Defa had no time to commit the crime.

Olof glanced at Wang Defa, who no longer planned to cooperate with the investigation, and said: "Boss Wang, if you have any clues, please contact us."

"I won't send it."

Wang Defa was too lazy to talk to Olof and others.

Orlov led the officers away.

"Inspector Orlov, there must be something wrong with this Internet cafe owner! How about we check him out!" Roylena suggested beside Orlov.

"Of course he has a problem." Orlov lit another cigar: "But you can't check his problem. I can't check it before I return to Sigma District."

"But……"

"It's nothing. Roylena, don't be curious about everything, just focus on the cases that have happened. This is my warning to you. I hope you can remember it."

Roylena glanced at Olof's deep gaze and nodded.

After Olof and others left, Wang Defa took out his mobile phone and walked to the warehouse to make a call.

"Hey, old snake, me. Are you free now? Help me be a man."

"Well, the price is still the same as before. Don't worry, there are no serious people who come to my Internet cafe. Even if you kill them all, the police station won't be able to find you..."
