"Detective Castro, I don't understand why your Marseille State Police Department is interested in the case in Louise State?" The centaur stretched out his hand expressionlessly to touch Qin Lun, and led everyone out of the house. .
"Sheriff Maloof, we have asked John's relatives. The couple didn't come to Crystal Lake for vacation. They just planned to camp in the mountain forest scenic spot at the junction of the two states. We suspect that the Crystal Lake camping area is not the scene of the first crime. Maybe it's just where the murderer dumped his body!" Qin Lun said without hesitation.
Before coming here, Cora had already guided Qin Lun on these issues, so that he would not be overwhelmed by Maloof's inquiry.
"Beautiful answer!" Maloof scratched the ground, turned his head and looked straight at Qin Lun, "You know there... the fragments of Mr. and Mrs. John's are everywhere, and some of them have even been mixed with the soil. Any police officer who saw the crime scene would not think it was just a dumping ground."
"Sheriff, we haven't seen it!" Qin Lun turned his head to look at the two companions, spread his hands and said, "If you can let us see the report and photos of the crime scene, I think we can draw our own conclusions !"
"Show you the on-site report? Then let you meddle in my case?" Maloof narrowed his eyes and shook his finger, "Young man, I don't think so. Go back to Marseilles, I won't let you meddle This case!"
"Forget it, I expected it would not be so easy, it seems we have to find another way!" Cora winked at the two.
At the beginning of her plan, she felt that this trip would be in vain. As a police officer, she is well aware that the two jurisdictions do not belong to each other, and it is not so easy to share case information. If they are real police, then they can also coordinate through the top of the state police department. It's a pity that they are not real police officers, and it is impossible to get assistance from the Massai State Police Department.
"No, don't worry!" Qin Lun looked back at the villa, his eyes flashed, and he walked towards a police officer who was taking notes at the scene.
"Hey, do you know the identity of the victim?" Qin Lun asked the policeman with a smile.
"Oh, yes! However, we still need to wait for the final confirmation of the body print!" The policeman looked up at them and replied cautiously.
"Perhaps we can provide you with the medical records of the residents of Marseilles to help you speed up!" Qin Lun flattened his lips and suggested kindly, "You know, the sooner the identity of the victim is determined, the faster the victim can be arrested. Stop the murderer!"
"No need, sir, although they are residents of Marseilles, we can also find their identities from the registration form of the villa property!" The policeman grinned, with a strange smile in his smile, as if mocking Qin Lun was beyond his control, "Sir, if the Crystal Lake Police Department can catch the murderer on its own, I won't bother you!"
Cora kept frowning, very dissatisfied with Qin Lun's self-assertion. However, when he heard the police officer's words at this time, his eyes lit up, as if he understood something.
"Thank you, officer!" Qin Lun narrowed his eyes slyly, and immediately left the somewhat bewildered low-level policeman, turned around and stopped Sergeant Maloof who was about to drive away.
"Hey, get out of the way! If you really want to intervene in this case, let your magistrates call me, otherwise don't waste my time." Maloof poked his head out of the car window , looking angrily at Qin Lun at the front of the car.
"Mrs. Cora, I remember you seem to have said that the country's case-handling process is very similar to the federal system of Esmila, right?" Qin Lun asked softly in the team channel.
"Yes, I said that. If two cases with a very short time interval, the victim is from a neighboring state at the same time, and the other state police department is unwilling to provide the progress of the case. We can submit it to the Federal Bureau of Justice in accordance with the Federal Security Act, But if this is the case, the state police departments on both sides will no longer be able to take over the case!" Cora said excitedly.
Qin Lun confirmed what Cora said, and immediately repeated what she said in the team channel in front of Maloof.
"I believe this result is definitely not what Sergeant Maloof wanted!" Hill, who hadn't been able to intervene, smiled cheerfully.
"Damn it!" Maloof frowned and cursed, holding back his anger and getting out of the car again, "Agent Castro, I think we need to talk alone!"
Ten minutes later, Qin Lun walked towards Hill and Cora with a smile.
"He agreed to let us review the on-site reports and photos of John and his wife, but strictly ordered us not to intervene in the case! Otherwise, he vowed to complain to our superiors!"
"Hehe, we only need that information. As for whether to intervene, I'm afraid he has nothing to say!" Hill smiled, not caring about Sergeant Maloof's warning at all.
Since Broken Starry Sky gave Qin Lun and the three plot identities, there must be an electronic identity record in the Marseille State Police Station, and ordinary phone inquiries are unlikely to reveal it. However, when it was discovered that Qin Lun and the others had intervened in the case, Sergeant Maloof complained to the senior management of the Marseille State Police Department. At that time, even if the false identity is exposed, it is not important anymore.
"Qin Lun, you...should have asked that centaur to investigate the crime scene of the villa, right?" Cora asked in a good mood, smiling at Qin Lun for the first time.
"Of course, Michelle will take us in!" Qin Lun smiled and pointed to the centaur girl who was walking towards them.
When Michel led them into the villa again, the three happened to see Sergeant Maloof reprimanding the unlucky policeman. The centaur policeman glared at Qin Lun viciously. If he hadn't been tricked out by Qin Lun out of nowhere and the victim was a tourist from Marseilles, this scene would not have happened.
Walking into the victim's bedroom, Michelle's face turned pale, and she immediately rushed out of the house covering her mouth.
The bedroom was blood-red, and even the walls and ceiling were splattered with blood. The three victims were a couple and their six-year-old daughter.
The couple folded their arms and held the young girl in their arms. The three of them lay together on the spacious bed, and the two adults hugged their daughters inwardly, like a sleeping family. The eyes of father and mother have been gouged out, leaving only a pair of horrible blood holes.
The cause of their death is difficult to ascertain, because not only their eyes and throats were gouged out, but their stomachs were also disembowelled, their internal organs were missing, and their entire chest and abdomen were empty. However, the body of the six-year-old girl remained intact. Except for the broken neck, there was no trauma to other parts of the body.
Hill suddenly gave Qin Lun and Cora a wink, and the two of them moved forward and immediately took two steps forward to block the doorway. Hill quickly opened his father's mouth with his rubber-gloved right hand and pulled out a copper coin.
The mother and the young girl also had the same copper coins in their mouths. Hill swiftly stuffed the copper coins into his pocket, and then signaled the two companions to leave.
After surveying the scene, the three of them were brought back to the police station by Michelle again, where they still needed to call the scene report of the murder of John and his wife.
"Qin Lun, how did you know that the family killed in the villa was also a tourist from Marseilles? Don't tell me, you just guessed randomly!" On the way back, Cora finally couldn't help asking on the team channel.
Cora knew that asking Qin Lun such questions all the time would make her look stupid. But as a policeman, she couldn't help her professional habit of seeking the truth.
"Hehe, that villa is far away from the city and is on the edge of the forest in the tourist area. What kind of building do you think it is?" Qin Lun asked with a smile.
"It should be a leisure villa for the rich to use for vacation, or simply a rental villa provided by the scenic spot for tourists." Cora thought for a while and said, "Of course, we already know it is the former one. However, this is not the case. It cannot be proved that the wealthy couple is from the state of Massai, they may also be local rich people in the state of Louise."
"That's right, it's true that the type of villa alone is not enough. However, before we came here, Michelle once said that this case may be committed by the same murderer." Qin Lun's eyes flashed, and he asked seriously, "You must know that when we arrived at the scene, Maloof had just finished inspecting the scene. That is to say, when we were at the police station, they had just received a call to the police, so on what basis did the people in the police station make the decision in advance? How about such a guess?"
"Is it the geographical location of the crime scene?" Cora bit her lip, her face still full of confusion, "But, Michelle said, it's a bit far from where John and his wife were killed..."
"Distance doesn't mean anything! On the same road, the starting point and the ending point are far away, but they are on the same route." Hill beside him also smiled and joined in the explanation. Obviously, he had already understood Qin Lun's intentions, "If the caller has no problems, it is generally unlikely to give a detailed introduction to the scene of the crime. Before the police investigate, there will be some guesses, which can only be based on the location of the crime."
"Our guide mission 'The Mystery of Crystal Lake' has already introduced that John and his wife got lost on the way and entered the Crystal Lake camping area by mistake. They originally only planned to camp in the forest area at the junction of the two states." Qin Lun sighed and spoke. Said, "John and his wife have three children, and they are not reckless young people at their age. If they knew that it was a restricted area closed by the state government, they would definitely drive away immediately, so as not to have an accident while camping, so they must have thought that they did not I got lost and arrived at the expected campsite."
"So, although they went to the wrong place, the driving distance is about the same. It should be a road from Marseille State to the Crystal Lake camping area!" Cora slowly came to her senses, "That villa is on the edge of the Crystal Lake camping area, and After the police received the call, they subconsciously guessed that it was the same murderer. It proves that the villa is on the same route as the place where John and his wife were murdered. Although the distance is a bit far, it is also the road from Marseille to Crystal Lake!"
"Hehe, if you contact the villa for vacation, that family is most likely a tourist from Marseille!" Hill gave the final conclusion with a smile.
Cora looked at Qin Lun with a complicated expression. What Qin Lun speculated was actually not that difficult. In the Esmila Police Station where she used to work, she also met many detectives who were good at reasoning.
But this man seemed to be more powerful, he not only remembered what Michelle said casually. And at the time, almost conditioned reflexes generally made inferences. It's not so much reasoning, it's more like a... instinct!
"Then, as long as we find the murderer of the villa case, we will also find clues to the 'Crystal Lake Mystery'!" Cora breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, these two cases are not the same murderer! (We are not looking for the same person!)" Qin Lun and Hill said in unison.
"Okay, whatever!" Cora looked from one to the other, wrinkling her face in distress.
