The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Leo took the document from Frank Fussen, read it carefully, found nothing wrong, and signed his name at the bottom of the document.

After handing the document back to Frank Fussen, Leo asked again: "Can I go now?"

"Of course not." Frank Fussen put the document back into his briefcase, and then said very formally: "After all, you are the last non-Parnier that Pasa Kagooran came into contact with before his death. His death is related, and he cannot leave here for the time being."

Leo snorted coldly and said, "Then you mean that I'm under house arrest here?"

Frank Fussen explained: "Of course, it cannot be regarded as house arrest, it can only be regarded as protection."

Leo smiled and asked back: "Protection? Are you sure I need protection."

"Of course, of course you don't need protection. We protect ordinary people in Durin." Frank Fussen's face became serious, and he only heard him say: "We suspect the death of Pasa Cagulan and the death of Lumber Rembrandt is one of the main supporters of Old Man Rembrandt’s excavation of the remains, and they have clashed with many local forces in Mozambique for this matter.”

As he spoke, he paused for a while, and continued: "After Pasa Cagulan came to the kingdom, there have been no accidents for so many days, but an accident happened when I met you today, and you and old man Rembrandt The relationship is extraordinary, so it must be the content of your conversation yesterday, which stimulated the murderer and made the murderer make a risky decision to assassinate Pasa Kagulan. Can you tell me the content of your conversation? Maybe it will be helpful to discover the murderer help."

Leo said truthfully: "He just told me that he was a student of Old Man Rembrandt, and he was angry with me, a person whom Old Man Rembrandt often mentioned, and then I left."

"It's that simple?" Frank Fussen was taken aback, somewhat disbelieving.

Leo shrugged his shoulders and said disapprovingly: "It's that simple, how complicated do you think it should be."

Frank Fussen frowned, remained silent for a moment, and suddenly asked: "If you are invited to assist in the investigation of this case, how much do you need?"

Leo was a little surprised when he heard this. Although he said just now that Frank Fussen and the others would pay a lot of money for him to investigate this case, this was just his casual talk. He didn't think the Kingdom's police department and special bureau Will be willing to let an outsider intervene in their case, because in this way, whether or not the case is finally solved, they will be the unlucky one.

But now Frank Fussen didn't look like he was joking, he really invited Leo to investigate the case, which made the cautious and suspicious Leo suspect that there was something tricky in this case.

Therefore, Leo did not offer his price, but asked tentatively: "Why did you, the director of the Special Bureau, invite me, an outsider, to investigate this case? Is this invitation official or your private?"

"It's semi-official." Frank Fussen quickly responded, and explained: "This case is not completely in the hands of our special bureau. The investigation of the entire case is led by the Kingdom Police Department, which assists in the investigation of the case. There are not only the police department itself, but also the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our special bureau. In addition, Panier also sent people to join in the investigation of this case, and both the Congress and the royal family also sent people as inspectors to the joint investigation team, so this The details of the investigation of the case are not secret at all.”

Leo said: "Do you suspect that there is a murderer in the investigation team?"

"Maybe, maybe not." Frank Fussen replied cautiously: "There is nothing wrong with being careful!"

Leo thought for a while and asked, "If I agree to assist in the investigation, what investigation privileges can I obtain?"

Frank Fussen shook his head and said: "No, there can be no privileges. If you are found out, I won't even admit to hiring you, Mr. Leo, to investigate this case."

Leo didn't agree immediately, but after thinking very seriously for a while, he said slowly: "My reward is to build all relevant materials of Dulin Theological Seminary, from the campus planning of the Seminary to the blueprints of each building, as well as the building materials. References to all the statues on the website, the pantheon is also included."

Hearing Leo's painting, Frank Fussen couldn't help being stunned. He didn't think Leo's request was particularly harsh, but he thought Leo's request was too simple.

For ordinary people, it may be very difficult to find the construction materials of Dulin Theological Seminary, but for the special bureau, it is too simple, because when the seminary was built, some strange things happened at the construction site, and the special bureau After intervening in the investigation, the Special Bureau followed up the entire construction process and watched the construction of Dulin Theological Seminary bit by bit from a wasteland. The Special Bureau also backed up a copy of the construction materials of Dulin Theological Seminary and stored it In the warehouse, as long as you spend a little time, you can easily find it.

"Is there any difficulty?" Of course Leo didn't know that there was a copy of the information he wanted in the special bureau, so he regarded Frank Fussen's performance as a dilemma.

"There is no difficulty." Frank Fussen said vaguely, and then said to Leo: "I agree to your conditions. When are you going to get paid?"

Leo shook his head and said, "There's no rush, let's talk about it after you have paid the previous salary."

"You can rest assured that after the documents are handed in, there will be results soon." Frank Fussen stood up with a smile and said, "You stay here at the police headquarters first, and I will take you there after the arrangements are made over there." .”

"I hope Mr. Frank can hurry up, my patience is not very good." Leo nodded and agreed to Frank Fussen's arrangement, but also made a small threat, although he knew that this threat was not suitable for people like Frank Fussen What's the use, but when Frank Fussen opened the door and was about to go out, he stopped him again, deliberately revealed a little information, and said, "Mr. Frank, do you know that Pasa Kagulan is a beast soul warrior?"

"What?" Frank Fussen obviously didn't know about this matter, with a surprised look on his face, he stopped, looked at Leo, and said: "His information didn't mention this matter, it just indicated that he It's a normal guy. Are you sure?"

Leo did not respond to Frank Fussen's inquiry, but just sat on the chair, smiling and saying nothing.

Frank Fussen knew it was useless to ask any more, so he left the room full of doubts.

Afterwards, a staff member of the police headquarters took Leo to a rest house in the headquarters and settled him down. This is a rest house specially prepared for senior officials of the headquarters, and the facilities are naturally not much worse than high-end hotels and hotels.

In the room, Leo was lying on the soft bed, looking as if he was resting and sleeping. In fact, his attention was all on the mental net, controlling the mental net to wrap the entire police headquarters in it.

As an important department of the Kingdom of England, although it only deals with ordinary people's cases, a large number of devices that can interfere with psionic energy or other special energies are still placed here, and some strange objects containing special energies are placed in several important places .

If it was before, Leo could only be helpless in the face of this situation, but now Leo has some countermeasures. Although these methods cannot completely erase the influence of those devices, they can at least make him more Less prying into the information in those rooms.

Moreover, the detectives handling the case in those rooms would habitually discuss the case after leaving the room. Even if these discussions were just a few words, they could still provide enough information to Leo.

These fragmented information are like a puzzle, gradually laid together and restored to a complete picture, which also allowed Leo to truly understand the entire process of the case.

The person who discovered what happened to Pasa Kagulan was his servant. It was last night, because Paniers have the habit of eating before going to bed, so the servants prepared food and brought it to Pasa Kagulan at night. While in the room, Pasa Kagulan's body was found.

At that time, the servant went to notify the members of the Panier mission, and the mission went to the scene to check the situation, identify the corpse, and confirm the identity of the corpse. The useful traces made the trace science experts at the police headquarters helpless.

The Kingdom police who later took over the scene could only look for clues from the corpse, but the members of the Panier mission were unwilling to hand over Pasa Kagulan's to the Kingdom, so the Kingdom police could only conduct a body inspection at the scene.

This autopsy report was originally supposed to be a secret, but there was a police headquarters document in charge of sorting out the case data. When sorting out the case data and leaving the file room protected by a jamming device, he revealed a lot when chatting with his colleagues. Confidential information recorded in the archives, including the autopsy report of Pasa Kagooran.

In the world of Vinylon, there is already a very crude autopsy method, but it involves issues such as religion and cognition, so that the autopsy is still at the level of superficial autopsy, and autopsy autopsy is also available, but few policemen are willing to use it.

The autopsy on Pasa Kagulan also did not carry out an autopsy this time, only some superficial autopsies were done.

In this autopsy report, all the injuries and cause of death of Pasa Kagulan were mentioned.

The autopsy personnel believed that there were two injuries that caused Pasa Cagolan's death. One was the heart. Judging from the wound, it should be that someone suddenly shot from behind Pasa Cagolan and stabbed him from the back to the chest very precisely. In the heart of protection, the heart was instantly crushed.

The second point is at the neck of Pasa Kagulan. Someone used an ax or a machete in front of him to directly chop off Pasa Kagulan's head.

Because of these two injuries, the police in charge of the case analyzed some scenes at the time of the crime, and believed that there were three people at the scene, one in front and one behind, with Pasa Kagulan in the middle, and the person behind Pasa Kagulan Suddenly launched a fatal attack on him, and the people in front, in order to ensure that Pasa Kagulan would not have any resistance, still chopped off the opponent's head when the opponent was fatally injured.

So the police's current inference is that the murderer knew Pasa Kagulan and had a close relationship, otherwise Pasa Kagulan would never be so relieved to reveal his back to a stranger, and Pasa Kagulan The surprised expression left on Gulan's face before his death can also be used to prove the police's speculation.

The police immediately limited the scope of the murderer to the members of the mission, and the investigation of Leo was mainly because Leo had contact with Pasa Cagulan. suspect.

However, the subsequent investigation seemed to be at a bottleneck, because after talking to the members of the mission one by one, the Kingdom police found that at the time of the inferred incident, all the members of the mission were holding a meeting for the next day's mining rights negotiations, while The deceased did not attend the meeting because he was unwell, which means that the people inside the mission had no time to commit crimes. And none of the servants who followed the mission acted alone or in two. There were almost always three or four people who could prove the location of the other people when the incident happened.

So now the police have expanded the scope of the murderer to other Paniers in the city or people who may have a close relationship with the deceased.

For the current investigation results of the police, Leo did not fully use them as reference data. Some of the investigation results were correct in his opinion. For example, the person who killed Pasa Cagolan was an acquaintance, and A very close person, so close that he would not have any precautions, and those things that made him feel that there was no reference value were a lot of doubts about other members of the mission. In Leo's view, perhaps the mission was the least suspicious object.

It was mentioned that the reason for killing Pasa Cagulan was the ruins that Rembrandt was digging. The Royal Police and the Special Bureau will have such an inference that there must be a reason. It must have been excavated by Rembrandt in Mozambique. Something very serious happened at the site of the ruins, otherwise they would not have gotten the cause of such an incident immediately after the death of Pasa Cagolan. At the same time, it can also be seen from this that the old man Rembrandt’s situation in the wasteland of the Mozambique continent not too good.

However, Leo has reservations about taking the old man Rembrandt's excavation of the ruins as the cause of Pasa Cagulan's murder. Although he has not started a formal investigation, he can vaguely feel that Rembrandt Old people and digging ruins are definitely not the cause of this murder.

The results of the police investigation can provide Leo with too few analytical clues. He has to go to the scene and see Pasa Cagolan's body in person in order to get more clues he wants to know.

Although he said just now that he would not start investigating the matter until the payment was paid, he knew that if he could not collect the information himself in the first place, the useful information might disappear after a long time, so he We must act now and first collect the useful information that can be collected.
