Chapter 302

The car tires roll over the snow, and the rose squad arrives outside the villa.
As soon as they arrived at the police station in Tallinn this morning, they were told that the house of a well-known government official in the city had been attacked, and before they could enter the police station, they had already reopened. Get in the car and go to the crime scene.
Before them, the police department had already dispatched a police force, so that when Rose Squad arrived, there were already many police officers on the scene.
“This number of people, isn’t this too ridiculous… Now there is a rush to handle cases, crowd tactics?”
Donald looked at the people parked on both sides of the street. The crowded police cars seem to be just the periphery of a medium-sized villa and the number of police officers at the front door can even be described as crowded.
“Exaggerated? No, it may be more exaggerated later, after all, this is the Owen family!”
Susannah’s eyes stayed on the emblem on the outer wall of the villa.
“Donald, this is the police department’s information, you can take a look.”
Stephanie handed over a folder at the right time, Donald pulled out the information quickly Browsing it again, I can’t help but be stunned when I see it at the end.
The Owen family, there are many names of this family in the outside world, and the loyal guardian of Demingham is one of the more widely spread.
This is a special family.
The Demingham Daily has conducted an investigation. Over several decades, the Irving family has trained more than 30 sheriffs, including direct members of the Irving family, as well as collateral personnel who are related to the Irving family. .
Although a considerable number of people are now retired, their protégés and subordinates have spread all over the police department for several years.
Not to mention those who are still employed.
The current Demingham Police Chief is Behemo Edwards.
He was a dominant powerhouse with imperial military background specially appointed by the government in order to ensure the prestige of the police station among the heretics after the thunderstorm that year broke out.
Belonging to the personnel transferred from outside.
Before him, the chief of the Demingham Police Department had been the patriarch of the Owen family.
Someone once said in private that Behemo Edward relied on his unrivaled strength to command the police station, and no one dared to say “No” to him.
Connery Owen controls the police station with the prestige and charisma built by the Owen family in Demingham over several decades, and makes everyone willing to work for him.
It is impossible to test who the commenter is, but the gap between the two can be seen.
Most people think that when Behemo Edward is old, he no longer has the strength of the dominant level, and his successor has not reached the status of strength that he should have.
Then the position of the police chief is, not surprisingly, the Owen family.
There is no second option!
It is precisely because of this that the attack on the patriarch of the Owen family caused such a big momentum.
“What are you doing!”
Just as he crossed the cordon and stepped into the door of the Owen family villa, Donald heard a full-fledged voice.
“Who allowed you to put your affairs in my house? This is a serious dereliction of duty!”
Listening to the meaning of these words, it was Connery Mr. Owen?
“What is your accusation, answer me!”
Suddenly someone shouted.
“Guard Demingham!”
“Speak louder!”
“Guard Demingham!!”
” Close the team, go back and perform your duties!”
“Yes, sir!!”
As if they had rehearsed countless conversations, even the police officers by the gate were subconsciously Stand up straight, feet side by side.
The police officers in front began to retreat in large numbers, when Donald saw the man standing in the snow from the gap in the crowd of police officers.
He was naked, with a lot of bandages wrapped around his waist and abdomen. The violent movements he made when he reprimanded him seemed to have ruptured the wound. The doctors and nurses around him were anxiously persuading him. And he just watched the police leave his villa, get in the car, and go back to their post.
Connery Owen’s spine didn’t bend an inch from start to finish.
He’s not the chief of the Demingham Police Department, but he can still do in a few words what only a chief can do.
That’s the charisma.
The public’s eyes are sharp, and the title of Demingham’s loyal Guardian is not something that news agencies can blow out.
Connery Owen is a competent police chief, a point even Behemo Edwards has emphasized at numerous government meetings and private receptions.
“This is Connery Owen…”
Hooper whispered to himself, Donald heard him, but said nothing.
In just a few minutes, only a dozen police officers were left in the entire Irving family villa for on-site protection, and Donald and the others had the opportunity to approach Connery Irving.
The case was interrogated in the study. Connery Owen was sitting on a bench with a healing potion in his hand. Someone was also treating the wound on his waist.
“At breakfast time, an assassin jumped over the walls of my house, through the small garden, and stabbed through the walls and windows. He was tall, about 6 feet, medium build, and fought with bare hands. Ran into the room, killed my wife Shirley Owen first, then tried to kill me, was intercepted by my SS, and I survived.”
With Connery Owen For the narrative of the case, everyone in the Rose Squad had more or less weird expressions on their faces.
For no other reason, Conrad Irving, it’s so cool… even callous.
Donald thought he was the only one injured when he said the first half of the sentence, and no other casualties were caused, so he was so peaceful.
As a result, the content of the second half of the sentence made Donald startled, and even more so that Rose Squad and others were at a loss.
The death of my wife was just a dry sentence in Connery Owen’s mouth: Kill my wife Owen Shirley first.
There is no emotional fluctuation in the whole narrative process, as if discussing that his breakfast bread was stepped on by assassin.
The latter may also have some regrettable emotions.
“Absolutely rational, the patriarch of the Owen family should dedicate everything to the family and Demingham. This is the family motto of the Owen family. It is rumored that every patriarch of the Owen family has been accepted since childhood. It’s all teaching in this regard, or…brainwashing. For him, the wife is just a tool to continue the family bloodline, which is exactly similar to the knife and fork during meals. I just thought it was a rumor before, didn’t expect it Really, it reminds me of another comment about Connery Irving circulating among the nobles of Demingham: Connery Irving was not a good husband, never was!”
Susannah I don’t know why she looks a little lost, and it may be mixed with some resentment that she may not even be aware of.
As a woman, of course it would be uncomfortable to hear that a man despised his wife so much.
As a government official, Connery Irving was selfless and great.
As a husband, Connery Owen is undoubtedly extremely selfish and callous.
“Leave all that and start investigating, in twos, Stephanie and Suzanne go to question, Burns and Boglow go to check on the scene, Donald and I check the body.”
Their mission is to catch the assassin, not to discuss the private life of an Imperial Viscount here.
After listening to Horn’s assignment, Stephanie glanced at Donald, who was already heading to the room where the corpse was placed.
The two girls are in charge of intelligence gathering, and Stephanie’s innate talent and Suzanne’s communication skills can come in handy.
One of Burns and Boglo is a fighter and the other is a crossbowman, and they are all too familiar with the traces of melee or long-range combat.
Donald himself is a wizard, able to detect possible spell fluctuations on the corpse, and with a high-level undead by his side, it is estimated that there is no more right to say about the status of the corpse than her.
The division of labor is clear, the thinking is clear, and the progress of the three parties is also very smooth, but the final result is not satisfactory.
In the hallway of the villa garden, avoiding the people of the Owen family, the Rose Squad begins a team discussion and sharing of information.
“Before the assassination, the guards and servants in the villa did not find any abnormality. Before today, no suspicious persons appeared around the villa, and no one had ever inquired about the Owen family. ”
Stephanie leaned against the inner wall of the corridor, her gaze resting on Finger, who served as a hand warmer in Donald’s arms.
Her charm was exercised by both men and women, and spent an hour asking almost all the servants and guards of the Owen family, without asking for any useful information.
“The murderer seemed to pass by the Irving family’s courtyard by accident, happened to see the Irvings at dinner, felt that he could kill the people inside, and then jumped over the wall without any preparation. , charging, attacking the target, an abrupt start, an abrupt end…”
This description may be a bit exaggerated, but it also shows that Susannah also did not find that the murderer had any preparations before the assassination. .
“The courtyard wall is nearly 10 meters away from where the Owens dined, but there are only 3 footprints in the courtyard. The murderer’s speed is very fast. The building materials used for the walls of this villa are not ordinary stone bricks. , but he didn’t hold it for even a second in front of him, which shows that the murderer has the means to suddenly form an area-type super shock… These can’t help us find the murderer.”
This It was the information that Burns and Boglow discovered. The murderer’s attack process was simple, clean, and without a trace of superfluous behavior.
Fast speed, strong strength, and the means of ranged attack, all these traits will be possessed by melee aliens with a certain level of strength.
“There is no clue on the corpse. It’s just a blow to death. There are no special methods.”
Horn told Donald what he wanted to say. Several corpses, including Leigh Owen, were all ordinary traumatic injuries, such as smashing the head with one punch, kicking the neck bone with one kick, and very ruthless with a single strike. They simply used physical strength to assassinate to avoid any exposure to innate talent. .
The murderer seems to be deliberately hiding his methods, and it turns out that he has done so successfully.
What is needed now are characteristics, characteristics that distinguish the murderer from the ordinary heretics.
“Is the Anomaly Bureau tracking powder?”
After a long silence, Donald suddenly turned his head and asked Horn.
If you can’t think of a way, you can only use the stupidest way.
Donald can only hope that someone in the Anomaly Bureau will make a tracking powder and there are enough…
