Chapter 9: Suspicious Concealment

The Earl of Edward of the Bloods did not attend the Arnold Day sacrifice in order to receive the leader of the Wolf Clan, Mutu, but was found dead in his own castle.

No matter how you think about it, it makes people feel that about the death of Count Edward, the leader of the wolf clan, Mutu, will definitely not be able to get rid of it.

Ye Mengying, who had been silently recording on the side and did not speak, couldn't help but look at Li Ye at this time, the excitement in her eyes was overflowing, she approached Li Ye, and whispered to Li Ye: "Team leader, should we investigate that Mutu." ”

"It's not a rush now, I'll talk about it later!" Li also shook his head, Mutu he would definitely investigate, but he still had many questions to figure out before that.

"Just now Master Dick said that he was the first to find the body of Count Edward, so when he found the body, did you all return to the castle together?"

"There was no Officer Lee, and Dick was feeling a little unwell at the time, so he left early on the way to the sacrificial ceremony. And when the ceremony was over, Madame said that she had not left the castle for a long time, and that she wanted to be angry a little longer, so Madame had to go back later than us. It was Karl who replied in place of the others.

Although there is not much indication that Edward's death must have been related to the people in the castle, Carl's answer has temporarily ruled out the suspicion that he and Oliver's butler and servants have not had time to commit the crime.

"Is that so?" Li also looked at Dick and Qin Xuexin.

"Yes, Officer Lee. Dick nodded, acknowledging Carl's claim.

"What time did you leave, do you remember?"

"It's about 3:40!"

"Between three forty and five fifty-five, there was an hour and twenty-five minutes in between, didn't Elder Karl just say that you were going to worship on the hill near the castle, and why did it take so long for you to return to the castle. From Dick's answer, Lee also very keenly grasped a suspicious point.

"This ......" Dick touched his nose and paused, but then he looked straight into his eyes and explained to Li Ye: "Because I came back by taxi, but the taxi broke down halfway, and it took a lot of time for the driver to repair the car, so I came back a little late." ”

"Then on your taxi software, there should be your taxi information from yesterday!" Ye Mengying, who had been carefully recording on the side, interjected and asked.

"No, I happened to run into a taxi on the road, and I didn't use any taxi software. Dick shook his head.

"In the middle of the night, can you also meet taxis on the mountains near here?" Ye Mengying asked suspiciously.

"Maybe I'm lucky!" Dick leaned back, folded his hands around his chest and shrugged, a look of whatever you wanted.

"Do you remember the license plate number of that taxi?"

"I don't remember!"

"What taxi company?"

"It seems to be Volkswagen, or it could be Johnson & Johnson. ”

"You always remember what color the car is!"

"It should be red! Officer Ye is sorry, I'm really not very sensitive to color. ”

"Is the taxi driver male or female, and does he have any physical characteristics?"

"The man looks like a very ordinary one, nothing special. ”

Ye Mengying asked questions one after another, but all she got from Dick's mouth were vague answers, which made Ye Mengying deepen her suspicion of Dick, but also couldn't help but feel very angry at Dick's "dishonesty".

With a "snap", Ye Mengying put the pen in his hand on the table, and was about to continue to attack Dick.

But Ye Mengying suddenly felt that Li Ye beside her gently poked her with his elbow, Ye Mengying couldn't help but look at Li Ye in confusion, but saw Li Ye shaking his head slightly at her.

Ye Mengying was not stupid, and after being reminded by Li, she immediately realized that it didn't seem to make much sense for her to ask Dick continuously, but it was more like an act of anger, because if Dick insisted on his words, then it would be impossible for her to get the answer she wanted.

Realizing that her performance just now was a little bad, Ye Mengying's cheeks couldn't help but flush, she picked up the pen on the table again with a little embarrassment, and lowered her head in embarrassment.

Seeing that there was nothing to ask from Dick, Li also turned the target of his inquiry to Qin Xuexin.

Previously, when Oliver introduced Qin Xuexin to Li Ye, he quietly told Li Ye that Qin Xuexin married Count Edward after his last wife passed away.

Li Ye said at the time that it was no wonder that Qin Xuexin looked younger than Liam, it turned out to be Liam's stepmother.

However, no matter how young Qin Xuexin is, she is a veritable wife of Count Edward, so Li still does not dare to slack off in terms of title.

He looked at Qin Xuexin and asked, "Mrs. Qin, do you have anything to say?"

"I don't have much to say. Qin Xuexin replied lightly, showing quite indifference, as if she didn't care at all that Li would suspect her because of this.

"Isn't there anything to say?" Li didn't expect Qin Xuexin to have such an attitude, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

But then Li also narrowed his eyes, held the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, and looked up and down the elegant woman in front of him again.

It's kind of interesting!

From Qin Xuexin's body, Li also seemed to see a clear layer of fog, which made him can't help but eagerly want to see what kind of secrets are hidden under that layer of fog.

So Li also changed the question and asked Qin Xuexin very directly: "Mrs. Qin, what do you think about your husband's death, or who do you think may be the murderer of your husband?"

"Hmph, how do I know, there are so many people who want to kill him, even I want to kill him. Qin Xuexin snorted lightly, and there was an obvious hatred in her eyes.

"Mrs. Qin, what do you mean by this?" Qin Xuexin's answer made Li Ye stunned again, and asked in surprise.

I don't know if she leaked her mouth just now, or for some other reason, Qin Xuexin stopped making a noise this time, she chose to be silent.

Seeing this, Li Ye moved his gaze to the other people in the hall, wanting to get answers from them, but unfortunately, no one spoke, including Carl, who took the initiative to answer Li Ye's questions just now.

There is a problem!

"Ahem", just when the hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence inexplicably, Liam, who had not eased up since Ye Mengying's kick on the back of the head, finally spoke at this time, and he broke the silence in the hall with his cough.

"Master Liam, do you have anything to say?"

"Officer Li, my father led the entire blood clan in Jiangcheng, and he offended many people outside, such as Mutu of the werewolf leader, Bishop Paul of the Holy See, and Qian Sanyi of the Green Gang. And these people are all likely to be my father's murderers, so instead of wasting your time here to suspect us, you might as well investigate them sooner, so that you may be able to catch my father's killer sooner. ”

Although Liam's words revealed some of Edward's interpersonal situation, they were more of an expression of his dissatisfaction.

"Yes, Officer Li, you went to my brother's study just now, didn't you find a little clue about the murderer there, that's why you keep interfacing us here?" Not only Liam, but Elder Karl, who had been very cooperative with the investigation, had gradually become gloomy at this time, and echoed beside him.

Seeing this, Li also thought about it, and then had to nod and say, "Okay! We'll be here today! If there are any questions in the future, I will ask you again." ”

was forced to end the interrogation of everyone in the castle, and Li Ye could only leave the hall with Ye Mengying, preparing to join Shen Qianxue and the people from the forensic department.

On the way back to the scene of the murder, Ye Mengying asked Li Ye a question in confusion: "Team leader, why didn't you ask those servants just now?" Dick and Madam Qin obviously didn't say a lot of things, maybe those servants can provide some useful information!"

"There's no need for that, Dream Shadow, do you think that with Elder Karl here, even if those servants know something, do they really dare to speak!" Li Ye replied with a faint smile.

"That's right!" Ye Mengying's face flushed, and she also felt that she seemed to take it for granted.

Looking at Li Ye beside him as if he always looked like he was holding a Zhizhu, Ye Mengying's heart couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Li Ye.

Obviously, Li Ye is about the same age as himself, but he always thinks about things so carefully, and in the previous fight with Liam, the amazing speed showed Li Ye's own outstanding strength, no wonder Li Ye became the head of the Investigation Department of the Special Administration Bureau at such a young age.

"You're here!"

When Li Ye and Ye Mengying returned to Earl Edward's study, they saw that Shen Qianxue was already waiting for them at the door early.

"How's that, what did you find?" asked Lee.

"Didn't you already inspect the scene before!Nothing!It's clean!" Shen Qianxue shook her head and replied.

Shen Qianxue's answer was expected by Li Ye, but it also made him feel a little disappointed, and he asked again: "Then how is your autopsy? What is the cause of Count Edward's death?"

"Death from excessive blood loss due to trauma may be a dagger or a saber or something. Shen Qianxue's answer was very simple, she felt that she didn't need to speak a lot of technical terms, because even if she said it, Li would not understand it.

"Do you mean that the wounds on Count Edward's body were the direct cause of his death?" asked Lee thoughtfully.

"Yes, yes, but I'll only be able to perform the simplest autopsy here, and if you want a more detailed autopsy report, you'll have to wait until I get back for a further inquest. Shen Qianxue said.

"Is the time of death determined?"

"Not yet!" Shen Qianxue shook her head.

"Why is this?" It is not very difficult to confirm the time of death, especially for the experienced Shen Qianxue, it should be a piece of cake, Yi Li couldn't help but ask.

"Because the vital signs of the Bloodline are different from those of us humans, the time of their death cannot be confirmed by ordinary methods, and it will only be known after an autopsy. Shen Qianxue explained.

"That, Forensic Doctor Shen, can I ask a question. ”

Li Ye and Shen Qianxue both spoke very quickly, which made Ye Mengying on the side have no chance to speak at all, so she waited until the two finished speaking before she hurriedly interjected.

"Ask!"

Although Shen Qianxue and Li Ye spoke in a very impulsive tone, they had some feelings, but when facing Ye Mengying, her voice was so cold that it gave people a very distant sense of distance.

It was Ye Mengying's expression and tone that couldn't help but become very cautious when he asked, "Forensic Doctor Shen, what I want to ask is, will the Blood Clan also die due to excessive blood loss?

"Of course not. Shen Qianxue's voice was still cold, but she still answered Ye Mengying's question.

"Sunlight and weapons with special attributes do work wonders against the Bloodline, but blood is extremely important to any life, let alone the Bloodline, which lives on blood. Therefore, once the blood clan loses too much blood, it will also become weak, and if it goes further, it will die. It's just that under normal circumstances, the Bloodline's strong self-healing ability makes it rare for them to lose too much blood. ”
