It didn't take long for Mr. Kosma to receive an apology letter from Memnon. He just glanced at it and said to Mrs. Kosma next to him: "This letter was not written by him. It seemed like it was written by a lame man. He couldn't write it." Such beautiful handwriting.”
The lame man is the steward next to Memnon. His real name has long been forgotten, but he has many aliases. Before joining the Bloody Dawn, the lame man was a tutor of a nobleman. His leg was broken by a child of the nobleman. He was hit with a wooden stick more than ten times before it was broken. From then on he had the nickname from Mr. Kesma, Cripple. It is said that he is lame, but in fact it is impossible to find it unless you look carefully.
This guy looked soft and gentle at the time, but he was actually a ruthless person. At that time, the doctor said that the leg could be saved, but it would become lame, so he asked the doctor if there was any way to stop the lameness. The doctor told him to put a steel bar in, and then use a very thin but very strong special steel wire to fix the leg bones, so that he would not look too lame. He agreed and lay in bed screaming in pain for more than a week.
It's not that the pain stopped after a week, but that his voice became hoarse and he couldn't scream. From then on, everyone respectfully called him "Cripple".
Mrs. Kesma looked at the gorgeous handwriting on the letter and nodded, "It is indeed the handwriting of a lame man. That guy Memnon can't write it. What is written on the letter?"
Mr. Kesma threw the letter to Mrs. Kesma, then lay on the easy chair and took two puffs from his pipe. When Mrs. Kosma asked him what his plans were after reading the letter, Mr. Kosma had a smile on his rigid face, "Since he apologized, let's forget about it.", facing Kosma. After seeing the lady's contemptuous look, Mr. Kesma continued: "What he wants to hurt is Du Lin's bastard son. Tell Du Lin about this and let him solve it on his own."
"If he doesn't do well, he should come back and farm with me. Then he can bring that girl back and have a few more children, and his life will be considered complete."
For people of the older generation like Mr. Kesma, reality is reality and ideals are ideals. In the past, he could risk his own life to challenge the corrupt aristocracy for his ideals, but now he can also put aside everything and live the life he wants in the new world.
It's just that Mr. Kesma may not be aware that Dulin is much more capable than he imagined.
In Ilian, Anpu has been studying the case of Juan's "suicide" for a long time. He feels that the case is not as simple as it seems, or that it is more complicated than he imagined. He always feels that he may have overlooked something. Things, dare not easily connect all the indirect evidence. Among these clues and indirect evidence, the most important link was missing, the link that could directly deal a heavy blow to Dulin.
So he put the case aside for the time being and took a roundabout approach.
In the hotel room, detectives from the Police Investigation Bureau transferred from other places sat around him. He used charcoal to write and draw on the white walls of the hotel. While doing damage, he said: "I recently came from The citizens of Ilian have collected some gossip about Dulin. I think this will be the most powerful evidence to defeat Dulin from the side." He circled a few names with charcoal, "Not long ago, the provincial people thought. To protest against Du Lin’s failure to use Provincial People, we united with the workers’ union to launch a demonstration, but then the demonstration did not start. Let’s find out what happened.”
"The second point is that Du Lin is running a non-governmental organization called the hometown association in Ilian and Tenel. I think there may be something hidden in this organization that Du Lin is very concerned about. Find out the members of the hometown association, and What are they doing?"
"Third point, check this Carter. Some people say that Carter offended the local celebrity Fulers family in Ilian, and then his wife left the local area, and the Fulers family also disappeared. I think there may be something wrong here ,Check properly."
Anpu put down the charcoal pencil in his hand, clapped his palms, wiped all the toner on his hands with a black towel, and then said very seriously to the detectives present: "We are not facing ordinary criminals. He has very superb criminal methods, a very clever mind, and is good at playing with people's hearts. What you think is evidence is not necessarily evidence. You must find witnesses!"
He looked at his watch, "We don't have much time. If we can't catch this guy Dulin in the next ten days, he will most likely escape the punishment of the law. Gentlemen, please uphold justice." !”
After arranging the task, Anpu continued to study the Juan case in the hands of the researchers. Now this case has reached a dead end. There are no witnesses, which means that the indirect evidence in his hand cannot produce a new definition of Juan's death. There is no executor, and if the executor cannot be found, there will be no way to implicate Du Lin. In the past few days, he compared all the shoemakers' shops in the city through the only slightly clearer footprints at the scene, and found about forty suspects.
But these people all have strong evidence of alibi... He frowned and thought for a while, then dialed the police station.
"What? You mean Juan's body hasn't been buried yet?" Anpu was a little surprised. As far as he knew, although Juan was bankrupt and owed a large sum of money, his family was still there. Dulin seemed He had no intention of continuing to pursue the debt, leaving his family with a way out. Maybe life will not be as rich and wealthy as before, but it will always be better than ordinary people.
Most of Juan's mortgaged properties at that time were his real estate, and he did not mortgage his family's private property. Any piece of jewelry on these rich people can be exchanged for thousands of dollars or more, so his family should live in peace. It's ok. Anpu thought that Juan had already been buried. In the empire, as long as it was not a criminal case and the family members were not allowed to bury the body, most families would bury the deceased as soon as possible so that they could return to the embrace of God.
But Juan was not buried, which made Anpu feel that something was strange and gave him an extra thought. He questioned the police officer who answered the phone, and the police officer told him that after Juan's death, his family did not come to claim the body, nor did they say it would be buried in the cemetery. The police station is too lazy to take any initiative. What if Juan's family members come to make trouble? The police officer also provided information. It is said that Juan's children were sent to other places by him some time ago. They are on their way back. They should wait for the family to gather before they consider the burial issue.
Anpu immediately took his clothes and ran to the police station. In the morgue, he saw a bloodless Juan... It was difficult to tell from the appearance that this pile... was Juan. It is difficult for people who jump from a building to maintain their basic original appearance. When falling from a building, the huge impact will cause the person's head to bear the huge impact and crack, the limbs will be twisted and broken during the unconscious waving, and the internal organs in the abdominal cavity will be broken. It may be squeezed out from the vagina, or the skin may be torn and sprayed out directly.
Juan's body was in very bad condition. In addition to the fact that his internal organs had not come out, his head was flattened and his limbs were twisted. The most important thing was that all the clothes on his body were gone.
"Where are his clothes?" Anpu glanced at the simply restrained body and there was no need to continue looking at it. Even if there were any clues, they were destroyed. He pinned his hope on the clothes Juan was wearing at the time. middle.
The police officer quickly handed him the bag containing Juan's belongings. He rummaged around in the evidence room for more than an hour and found some clues that might or might not be useful.
When he returned the things to the little policeman, he casually asked, "I saw a lot of cigarette butts on the rooftop. Does he have a big addiction to smoking?"
The little policeman shrugged, "Do you think I can understand the living habits of these big shots?"
After thanking Anpu, he returned to the morgue and took out Juan's tongue. His tongue was already blue, but there was a layer of burnt yellow tongue coating on the surface. An Pu dug around and found a nail clipper, scraped off the brown layer on his tongue, put it into a small bag, and left the police station without changing his expression.
Not only did he illegally collect evidence, but he also stole a lighter among the evidence. Logically speaking, his behavior would make the evidence lose their legal validity, but Anpu didn't care very much. Just make up for the formalities if necessary, but now it's just too late.
He first asked someone to test the burnt yellow substance on Juan's tongue, and then found the hotel manager and asked about some things about Juan's life. He learned from the hotel manager that Juan did not smoke, at least not in public. It was unclear whether he smoked at home.
Anpu returned to the room and studied the "stolen" lighter over and over. He determined that it was a very expensive lighter. In addition to the sterling silver body, there were also lion eyes engraved on the lighter shell. There is a tiny ruby. There is also a series of numbers on the bottom of the lighter. The price of such a lighter is definitely not cheap. This is a major discovery in this case.
He continued to add his clues and evidence chain, and he had a vague feeling that perhaps all the doubts would soon surface.
The test results came out before finishing the meal. Those things were cigarette tar. The cigarette butts on the rooftop should have been smoked by Juan, but he didn't smoke. Why did he smoke so many cigarettes continuously on the rooftop? Did Du Lin say something to him through other means, and someone else sent him a message, saying something that forced Juan to jump from the rooftop
