Matthew was the third executive member to die this month, but this time Matthew's death did not cause a stir in the city. He was found dead in the study by his servant, who then called the police. Hesitating that curfew and military control were still being implemented in the city, Memnon had no choice but to wait until daytime tomorrow if he wanted to go over and take a look.
He was a little strange. Who killed Matthew? He only met Matthew in the afternoon. What was the motive and purpose of killing Matthew
Matthew is obviously not involved in the current case. He is an outsider. Is there any benefit in killing an outsider
After thinking about it for a long time and still not being able to figure out the relationship, Memnon sighed. The explosive emergence of all the things during this period made him very anxious. Fortunately, he had found a new "owner", and he only needed to settle these things in front of him. , the future is in his hands.
He subconsciously glanced at the things on the table. If there was something important, he would put it away. If not, forget it. It was getting late and he should go to bed. However, it was this glance that made him see someone he didn't want to see - Roel.
Roel has been discharged from the hospital. His injuries were serious, but not particularly serious. The bullet penetrated his lung, but fortunately the bullet penetrated his body. After the rescue, his condition stabilized and he was able to be discharged from the hospital after a period of recovery. There was a photo of him on the front page of the newspaper. In the photo, Roel looked very haggard, as if he had aged more than ten years. But Memnon stared closely at Roel's eyes in the photo. Through this printed photo, he saw something called secret joy.
For a moment, there was a light in Memnon's mind that tore through the fog. He could arrange for someone to assassinate him, so why couldn't Roel arrange for someone to assassinate him
Memnon was completely sleepless at this time. He was sitting in front of the table with his hands clasped on the table. He frowned and stared at Roel in the newspaper. He was startled by his guess!
He continued to think deeply according to his own ideas. If Roel designed the opening ceremony of the entire Westworld drama, how much benefit could he get
He received a cash income of no less than two million at one time, solved all the current difficulties, became a vulnerable group that was persecuted in public opinion, and represented a group of people, and he was able to remove himself from everything at once. After taking it out, even Memnon had temporarily given up the idea of continuing to pursue Roel's line. Because this line is too troublesome, if you are not careful, it will touch the sensitive nerves of some people, and they will stand up against you.
The most powerful group of people in the west are gold prospectors and miners. Once Dulin touches Roel, it may trigger a backlash from the miners and their families. Under the promotion of thoughtful people, his three-guarantee policy may be regarded as a language game of "settling accounts after the fall". If you take his money and still be targeted by him, the three-guarantee policy will soon be shaken. The three-guarantee policy is exactly how Memnon took root in the west. In this way, all the people in the west who needed work, had to provide education for their children, and were in good health were all caught up in one fell swoop.
Almost everyone meets one of these conditions, but once there is a problem in this area, he may be doomed. This is why he knew that the mining accident in Roel's mining area was no accident, so he bit the bullet and paid out the compensation.
So are there any disadvantages
There would be no more losses than Roel's own injury.
Ignoring what happened next to Roel and the inside story of his attack, it was just a hypothesis, just a hypothesis.
Assuming that Roel's attack was a farce directed and performed by himself, then Memnon's own injury was also a "drama" arranged by himself. Who was the instigator of Dulin and the other people who were assassinated
Memnon retracted his hands and crossed his chest, leaning back on the chair. He began to recall all the people who were assassinated during this period. Except for Roel, him, and Dulin, everyone else died in the attack. , this suddenly gave him a creepy feeling. Did he arrange Du Lin's assassination himself
Once this idea appeared, it grew and spread uncontrollably until it occupied Memnon's entire mind. The more he thought about it, the more likely it was that he thought it was possible. He also classified the people who were assassinated during this period into a category.
None of the actors who acted themselves have really died, such as Roel, such as him, such as... Du Lin.
Those who did not arrange the assassination scene themselves are truly dead, such as Hendry and others and people from the West Mining Association, including Matthew who died at night.
But... Memnon frowned again. His assumption did conform to certain rules, but he learned from the hospital that Dulin's gunfire was much more serious than Roel's, especially since the doctor told him that if When Dulin was attacked, if his head moved just one centimeter to the left, the bullet would penetrate his head and kill him completely. Moreover, the gunshot wound on his waist and abdomen was also very serious. The bullet broke off a section of his intestines. If he was sent to the hospital three minutes later, he would not be able to be rescued.
Such a serious injury... Memnon put himself into Dulin's perspective and felt that it was still impossible. This was not a drill, this was a joke with his own life! This was not a shot in the shoulder or leg. It was really possible that death could result from a very small oversight. He would not be so cruel, nor could he be so cruel.
If Du Lin is transferred to the other side, then who in the end ordered the assassins to kill these people
Early the next morning, two soldiers appeared in the mayor's office. Memnon looked at these soldiers with a stern face. He did not like these people. There are many reasons for not liking it. For example, back then he encouraged and boasted that taking over the western military base would mean separatizing the western region. As a result, he unexpectedly had a decisive battle with the military outside the western military region. In the end, he almost lost his capital and spent a lot of money. It took him a year to regain his breath. As for now, the city under martial law has the military's license to meddle in everything, and they can temporarily manage and supervise the city as they see fit.
In other words, the city now has two management systems, one is the city hall government, and the other is the western military government. Of course, he will not like people who have obviously interfered with his power.
"Mr. Memnon, we are here to investigate the assassination of Matthew, the executive member of the West Mining Association. We hope you can cooperate with our investigation." The speaker was a female soldier who looked pretty good. The female soldiers who were able to be selected..., Memnon glanced at her epaulettes, it was a lieutenant. Female soldiers who can become lieutenants must meet certain conditions, such as being beautiful or having strong military qualities.
Memnon put one hand on the edge of the table and leaned back on the chair, "What does this have to do with me?"
The female soldier took a step forward. Her chest muscles were very well developed, and she looked like she exercised regularly. After all, going on missions also represented the face of the Western Military Region. She must choose such an outstanding soldier to be decent enough. She said with a half-smile: "Mayor Memnon, we have collected some clues and agree that this case may involve you. So we invite you to assist us in the investigation. By the way, this is approved by the Ministry of Defense."
Memnon was silent for a moment, he needed to understand what happened, "I understand, wait until I change a set of clothes." As he said that, he walked into the lounge next to the office, closed the door and picked up the phone.
You must ask the police chief about this kind of thing. Although the city has implemented military control, this does not include the police. The local police station is still operating normally, including handling cases at night.
The police chief quickly told the whole story after receiving Memnon's call. After Matthew went home at night, he asked his maid to put bath water for him. In the process, he returned to the study and asked The maid waited for the bath water and other things to be ready before calling him.
The maid prepared everything for the bath and waited for another ten minutes. This was because Matthew would sometimes be very focused on reading some documents and didn't like to be disturbed by anyone. So she waited a little longer before calling Matthew. She went up to the study room on the second floor and unexpectedly found that the study door was not closed, leaving a gap about a foot wide, which was very abnormal. Because for a home owner, the study is the most important place in the family besides the bedroom. It may involve a lot of confidential matters, so the door should be locked at all times, regardless of whether there is anyone inside.
The maid called twice outside, but there was no answer inside. Then she looked inside through the crack in the door and saw only Matthew's side. He was leaning on a chair, as if he was asleep.
The maid knocked hard on the study door again, but Matthew still didn't wake up. She vaguely felt that something was wrong. After pushing the door in, she found that Matthew's neck had been cut open, and there was a knife stuck in his eye. Then she called the police.
There are also soldiers on duty at the regional police station. Because of an accident in this city, people only know the police phone number and do not know the contact information of the army, so they arranged for people to stay at the police station.
Soon the police and soldiers arrived at Matthew's villa, but the police were asked to investigate outside the door, and the police chief did not know what happened inside. About twenty minutes later, the military people asked the coroner to drive the body away in a car. No one knows what they did next. It was only in the morning that the police chief learned that the military asked Memnon to cooperate with the investigation. As for how to cooperate and what to investigate, he had no idea.
Memnon cursed "waste" and hung up the phone. He hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to change clothes. Like the police chief, he didn't know what was going on. It wasn't appropriate to call others at this time. What if he was really just cooperating
