Wine and Gun

"Exactly," McCard said solemnly. "Doctor Bucks, Officer Hardy and I are now investigating a vicious case against children."

Herstal took an extra turn as he drove back to the law firm.

He went to see a client today who was doing the division of property for a divorce—the fifth divorce. The whole thing went smoothly, an hour and a half before he told his law firm Emma he expected to go back.

The reason why he was so careful about time was because he arranged a private meeting during work hours.

When Herstal parked his car in front of a cafe, he felt like a scumbag who carefully arranged his affair. He really didn't want Albarino to know that he had arranged this meeting: the other party had always opposed him targeting the members of the Sequoia Manor, and this time Albarino's position was even very reasonable, Herstal himself I also know that if I really start with those rich people, I will get myself into a lot of terrible trouble.

But he couldn't control himself, and for the first time ever, he decided not to.

Without Albarino's help investigating what happened at Sequoia Manor, Herstal's packed schedule is now even more hideous. Although he wanted to investigate further based on the information Midaren gave him, he was really unable to do so.

At first, he planned to start with the two thugs who kidnapped him mentioned by Midalen. Among them, the guy with tattoos on his face had distinctive features and was easier to find. But Herstal did some research on the gangster he knew and found that the guy had died in a burglary more than a dozen days ago.

The fact was so suspiciously coincidental that Herstal almost suspected that Slade had found someone to kill him in order to silence him. But it was no longer feasible to find someone in this way, and Herstal had to start with the driving route provided by Midalen.

——And he had to admit that he was really not that familiar with the streets of Westland.

Hestal, who had always hated asking for help, walked into the cafe with a sense of tension, and the guy he was meeting was sitting upright in a window seat. The character of the other party has been considered, and he is the most trustworthy one among those who are familiar with the road environment of Westland - although for the pianist himself, this "trust" itself is also pitiful - Herstad Now he can only hope that after he has explained the cause and effect to the other party, the other party will choose to help him instead of jumping up and calling the police.

At this moment, Orion Hunter was sitting in the booth by the window, with a cup of coffee mixed with a lot of wine in front of him.

He waved happily to Herstal.

Albarino sat with Hardy's officers, listening to Lavasa McCard speak on stage. Tommy was sitting next to Albarino, his face was like a kid entering an amusement park for the first time, his legs were shaking with excitement.

Originally, such a case would not have involved an intern like Tommy, but after all, the connection between the last corpse dumping case and the previous case was discovered by Tommy, and Albarino also brought Tommy to the meeting. , for which the latter was grateful, and repeatedly said that he would take Albarino to a big dinner afterwards.

Albarino has just come to the stage to explain to the police the cause of poor Kevin's death, and the Forensic Medical Bureau's judgment that this case is actually a series of crimes - but there is no strong evidence for his and Tommy's previous judgment. It proves that although the victims of the six murders in the past three years were all children, and all of them were thrown into the water, their death methods were very different, and they should not have been committed by the same murderer.

At this moment, McCard is saying: "...if the autopsy results are correct, there are now two possibilities: one, there is no connection between these cases, and they are the work of different murderers; two, although the six cases The corpse dumping case was not committed by one person, but it was committed by the same regular and organized gang, which means that we are dealing with an organization that sexually abused children and murdered and dumped corpses."

"As you can see, the difference between these two possibilities is very large," added John Garcia, who was standing beside McCard. "Different judgments and investigations are in opposite directions, so it is necessary to correctly judge the nature of this case. It is very important for subsequent investigations.”

The audience below nodded one after another, and Albarino also sat up slightly: If McCard judged that the case of Kevin's murder had nothing to do with the previous cases, and planned to put the previous unsolved corpse dumping case on hold for the time being, It is estimated that WLPD will not be able to find Sequoia Manor in this life.

From the current situation, Albarino prefers that McArd treat this case as a separate murder case, rather than deal with the previous five cases. Because Herstal is bound to kill Slade, the ideal situation is: after Slade died, Herstal could not find the list of people in Sequoia Manor, so the matter was finally settled. Sooner or later, Herstal will find out that his identity has been completely revealed in McCard, and then they will have to leave the United States, and the whole thing will be forgotten by Herstal sooner or later.

But if the case is dealt with together, McArd will definitely find out about Sequoia Manor sooner or later. If Herstal kills Slade, another McArd will be involved at this juncture, and the consequences will be disastrous.
