Amid the laughter of the girls, Daisy screamed and rushed out of the bathroom. Looking at her girlfriends who were almost laughing together, Daisy gritted her teeth and said: "This is not funny at all, you know, it's not funny at all."
Amidst the laughter, Pasi subconsciously glanced into the bathroom, and then the smile on her face froze.
In the flickering candlelight, a dark figure was reflected in the mirror.
"ah"
Willy sighed: "The next day after that night, the girl named Pasi was found dead in her bedroom. After on-site inspection, it was found that the doors and windows were intact, with no signs of being pried, and no signs of strangers were found. The fingerprints and footprints can be said to be a perfect locked room murder case."
"The eyes melted, the brain disappeared, and the head became an empty shell." Sherron looked at the autopsy report in his hand, frowned and said to Willy, "What's the reason? Why didn't the report indicate the cause of all this?"
Willy smiled bitterly and said, "If I knew the modus operandi, I wouldn't have to worry."
Xie Lun raised his eyebrows and looked at the thick pile of documents below: "This kind of thing happened more than once."
Willy nodded, reached out and pulled out three more photos from the file, and placed them in front of Sherron: "Starting three months ago, all the accidents occurred were young girls. The locations of the crimes were all in New York City. Pasi's death was This is the fourth case.”
Looking at the four photos in front of him, Xie Lun frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked Willy: "Since you applied for professionals from above, you should have an idea of why Hollis sent me here, right?"
Willy nodded: "Actually, I have heard about that kind of thing, but I didn't expect it to really exist. What's even more unexpected is that in just a few months, you are already a professional in handling that kind of thing. ”
Xie Lun knew that the cases he had handled in the past few months could not be hidden from his superiors, and he did not want to hide them all. As long as his secrets were not exposed, it would be better if his superiors knew the details of other cases, so that they would be better able to cover up the matter.
"Boss, no, I should call you Director Willy now. Your judgment is still so accurate." Sherron put the photo in the file and smiled at Willy, "I took this case."
"Okay, what do you need me to do?"
"Separate, independent, and unfettered investigative powers."
"No problem. You are a special agent, and now you are specially appointed by the higher authorities. You already have independent investigation power on this case." Willy took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Sherron, "I heard it was you. Come on, I have issued a certificate a long time ago. With this certificate, all New York City police departments and all departments under the NIA New York Division are not allowed to hinder your investigation and must cooperate closely."
"Letter of proof" Xie Lun took the certificate and smiled strangely, "You specially opened this letter to me, which makes me feel more and more unsure. Old man, please tell the truth. Have you taken control of this New York branch? "
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, kid." Willy sighed and whispered, "To be honest, the situation in the New York branch is a bit complicated. The top leaders of other branches are elite supervisors, and the following supervisors assist them in their work. And Here, the senior manager has always been vacant, and several other managers are responsible for their own affairs. Now that one suddenly comes from the air, they must be dissatisfied. "
Willy stood up, put his hands on his back, looked out the window, and said in a deep voice: "At first it was an incomprehensible government order, but after I rectified it, it has now become a shady one. I now doubt that the superiors transferred me here in the first place. The purpose is, as there is an old saying in the East, what is the sword dance and then what?"
Xie Lun took a sip of coffee and said with a smile: "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was intended for Pei Gong."
"That's right, that's it." Willy nodded, "What do you mean?"
Xie Lun almost spit out the coffee in his mouth. After swallowing it reluctantly, he said helplessly: "To put it simply, someone wants to use you to deal with other people."
Willy snorted and turned to look at Sherron: "Who do you think they want to use me against?"
Sherron laughed, drank the coffee in one gulp, stood up and said: "Hollis"
Willy nodded and said in a deep voice: "Director William is old, and it is no secret that President Robert has wanted to replace Director NIA many times. Although it is unlikely that Hollis will be promoted to Director, there are still people who want to weaken him. Her strength, after all, she has been in charge of nia's overall finance and logistics for many years, and she still has a great influence within the bureau."
"Praise, this is flattery." Xie Lun also said in a deep voice, "I asked you to be the top leader of this New York branch, but I only promoted you to the position of supervisor. This way, if anything goes wrong in the future, others can also be justified. I’ll kick you off.”
Sherron looked at Willy and suddenly smiled relaxedly: "I suddenly understand what you and Hollis mean."
Willy frowned and said, "What?"
"By solving this mysterious serial murder case and drawing everyone's attention to me, you can take the opportunity to operate behind the scenes, cultivate your own confidants, and establish yourself in New York."
Sherron stared into Willy's eyes: "What I said is right."
Willy was stunned. After a while, he took out another black box from his pocket, handed it to Sherron, and said with a wry smile: "Hollis told me that if you see through our plan, then hand over this box." for you."
Sherron took the box and looked at the sealed plastic bag on it. Willy shrugged: "I don't know what's inside."
Xie Lun took the box, weighed it in his hands, frowned and said, "I might have guessed it, but..."
He tore open the plastic bag and opened the box, only to find a smartphone inside.
Willy asked in confusion: "What is this?"
"cell phone"
“Why don’t mobile phones have buttons?”
"Because it's smart."
Xie Lun took out his mobile phone, turned it on skillfully, and looked at the logo that appeared on the screen: "Qingguo Company, I didn't expect to meet again."
As soon as I turned on the phone, a phone call came in. After Xie Lun connected, Monica's familiar voice came from the other side: "Boss, you finally turned on your phone. I didn't think you could get that phone."
"How can I, a wise, wise and advanced person like me, not be able to see through Hollis's thoughts?"
"Okay, stop bragging. Deputy Director Hollis said that this is the latest model of communication product jointly developed by Qingguo Company and the military. The civilian version will not be released to the market until next year. However, Deputy Director Hollis considered You often run around, so I tried to find a way to get you one. In short, this phone has many functions, so you have time to study more."
"Don't worry, I can get started with this thing in a minute."
Xie Lun added in his mind: "After all, I was tired of playing in my previous life."
"You can brag. I've been studying for three days and I still haven't figured out how to send text messages." Monica hummed, "Then this call ends here, I just want to inform you that from now on we will I contacted you through this mobile phone, so be sure not to lose it."
After hanging up the phone and looking at the stunned Willie, Sherron laughed: "I want to take all those files with me."
"good."
Willy nodded subconsciously, and saw Xie Lun leaving with the files under his arm, then he realized and said urgently: "Wait, you can investigate the case as you like, but I have three requirements for you."
"What"
"First, you are not allowed to go to Gotham. Second, you are not allowed to go to Gotham. Third, you are still not allowed to go to Gotham."
Willy looked serious.
