Chapter 11 Initiation of an investigation
Sitting on the sofa opposite Mutu, Li also looked up and down the leader of the wolf clan in front of him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Mutu's face is very rough, with brown sideburns and red pupils, and his chin and cheeks are covered with beards, which makes people look majestic at a glance, and Mutu's burly figure is more than two meters tall, even if he sits on the sofa, he is almost the same as standing on an ordinary person, which adds a bit of compelling momentum to Mutu invisibly.
"Officer Li, I have never dealt with any of you in the Special Administration Bureau in the past, I don't know what you are here for, Officer Li?" Mutu spoke with a full of breath and a deep voice, just like his heroic appearance.
"Patriarch Mutu, I have come to visit me today for the case of Edward Van Dro. Li Ye was not polite, and directly explained the reason.
"Edward Van Zhuo, what is wrong with Edward?" When Mutu heard the name of Count Edward from Li Ye's mouth, his brows couldn't help but tuck slightly, and his eyes narrowed, and there was a thick evil aura in his eyes.
"He's dead. Li didn't know if Mutu was playing dumb by asking, so he looked at Mutu with dead eyes as he answered, trying to see something from Mutu's reaction.
"What? Edward is dead?" Just a moment ago, Mutu's expression revealed a strong killing intent because he heard Edward's name, but the next second, when he heard Li Ye say that Count Edward was dead, Mutu's killing intent suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a face full of shock.
Seeing Mutu's mouth wide open and his eyes wide-eyed, Li also felt that unless Mutu's acting skills were superb enough to win the Academy Award, the shock he showed at the moment should not be fake.
"Who killed him?" asked Mutu, who had unconsciously dug the fingers of his hands deep into the armrests of the sofa because of the over-excitement in his heart.
"We are still investigating the murderer, but don't you know anything about Count Edward's death, Patriarch Mutu?" Although Mutu's performance just now did show that he did not know about Count Edward's death, Li also asked tentatively.
"I don't know, because tomorrow is almost the night of the full moon, and I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself, so I've stayed here today and haven't gone out, and my people have also been restrained, so I don't know that Edward is dead. Mutu shook his head.
"Really?" Li also felt that Mutu's explanation made sense.
"Patriarch Mutu, I have one more thing to ask you. I heard that you had been to the Earl's castle the night before, before Count Edward was killed, is that true?"
"It's true!" Mutu's answer was surprisingly refreshing.
"And what did you go to the Count for?"
"Recently, the Bloodline has taken a lot of action against us, not only has our range of movement become smaller and smaller, but many people have been injured as a result. I didn't want to see this situation continue, so I went to Edward, hoping to reconcile with him for the time being. ”
Mutu's answer was consistent with what Elder Karl had previously provided, so Mutu should not have lied about it.
"Patriarch Mutu, have you achieved your goal?" Li also asked.
"No, it's infuriating to say this, I had contacted Carl beforehand and wanted him to help me find out what Edward was talking about, and then I got feedback that as long as we agreed to some conditions, Edward could consider making peace. But I didn't expect that when I really went to find Edward, he didn't even give me a little room to turn around, and refused directly on the spot, and even threatened to drive all our werewolves out of Jiangcheng this time. Murtu gritted his teeth at the end, clearly angry at Edward's backsliding.
"Then when did you arrive at the castle and when did you leave? ”
Hearing Li Ye ask this, Mu Tu naturally understood that Li Ye was doubting himself, but Li also suspected that he was also a matter of course, who let him go to an inappropriate place at an inappropriate time, and his identity was still so sensitive.
So Murtu was not annoyed, and replied, "I went to Edward's castle at about half past twelve the night before yesterday to find him, and as soon as I made a proposal for peace, he rejected it at once, so I remained in the castle for less than ten minutes, and left the castle at about thirteen o'clock." ”
"Patriarch Mutu, did you go to the castle to find Count Edward alone?"
"Yes. ”
"Then can you find a time witness for yourself!"
"Of course I ......" Mu Tu subconsciously wanted to say that of course I can, but in the middle of the sentence, he suddenly woke up and didn't seem to have a way to find someone to testify for him, so in the end he shook his head with a wry smile and spit out two words: "Can't!"
Mutu's answers to the two most crucial questions obviously did not get him off the hook, but Li did not show his attitude, but continued to ask.
"Patriarch Mutu, when you met with Count Edward, were there any other people in the castle, or did you notice anything unusual? ”
"Well, I don't think anyone else, at least I haven't. As for something unusual?" Mutu looked down and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't seem to feel anything out of the ordinary. ”
"Yes, Patriarch Mutu, I have one last question for you, who do you think is most likely to be Count Edward's murderer. ”
"Officer Li, I'm afraid I can't answer you. Mutu shook his head, and then he explained to himself: "After all, I don't know much about Edward's death, and it is not a good thing to speculate and wronged others. ”
"That's right!" Li was also slightly disappointed by Mutu's answer, because he had thought that Mutu would say two names anyway, and in that case, whether Mutu was really suspicious or deliberately diverted his gaze, Li would be able to make further judgments based on this.
However, Mutu's answer also showed his bright side, which made Li look up to him a few points.
When Li also said goodbye to Mutu and drove back to the Special Management Bureau, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.
Pushing open the door of the office, it was dark in the room, and there was no one inside, and Li couldn't help but wonder and muttered to himself: "Where is this guy Qiangzi?"
Li also remembered that he had clearly said that he would hold a case summary meeting in the evening, and Ye Mengying was sent by him to visit other suspects, so it didn't matter if he came back later than him. But what he asked Xiao Qiang to do, he just clicked on the keyboard and made a phone call, but this guy was not in the office, and he didn't know what to do.
ZZzz......
Just when Li was also surprised that Xiao Qiang was not in the office, suddenly there was a slight snoring sound in a corner of the office, and Li also turned on the light and looked towards that corner.
saw a person lying on his stomach on the desk and falling asleep, but it was not Xiao Qiang.
"This kid!" Li also looked at Xiao Qiang, who had the horns at the corner of his mouth flowing into a line and flowing to the table, and immediately shook his head helplessly.
However, before everyone arrived, Li did not wake up Xiao Qiang, he came to a sofa in the office for guests, and half-lay down.
Taking off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, Li also rubbed his temples, slowly closed his eyes, and gradually sunk his whole body into the sofa.
After running around for a day, Li Ye only felt that his whole body was sore, and his head became groggy because he had been thinking about the case all day.
It's really people who are tired, and the heart is even more tired.
Alas, when I get rich, I will quit immediately!
Whenever Lee also became exhausted from work, such an idea would come to his mind, and of course it was just an idea.
How to get rich? Buy lottery tickets? Or do you rely on the novel you wrote that you haven't signed a contract with until now?
"Team leader, I'm back!" Li Ye, who was half-lying on the sofa and was drowsy, suddenly heard Ye Mengying's shy voice.
Li also opened his eyes and looked, and sure enough, he saw Ye Mengying's beautiful figure walking in from the door, looking radiant, which was diametrically opposed to his state at this time.
However, Li also knew that Ye Mengying had just joined the work, and he was supported by freshness, so he looked energetic after a day of work, but after a while, the freshness was gone, and Ye Mengying would be the same as himself, and he would want to lie down on the bed after work.
Since Ye Mengying is back, of course, the meeting will be over early, so Li Ye shouted to Xiao Qiang, who was still sleeping there in the dark, "Don't sleep, get up." ”
Whew-
What is embarrassing is that Li not only failed to wake up Xiao Qiang, but made Xiao Qiang's snoring sound a few decibels higher, louder, and faintly rhythmic.
Seeing this rather joyful scene, Ye Mengying couldn't help but smile, she walked to Xiao Qiang's side, shaking Xiao Qiang's body, and called out: "Qiangzi wake up! Wake up!"
I don't know if Xiao Qiang slept too deadly, or Ye Mengying's movements were too gentle, Xiao Qiang just snorted twice, changed the direction of lying down and continued to sleep.
Seeing Xiao Qiang sleeping like a dead pig, Li Ye finally couldn't bear it anymore, he put on the glasses he took off again, got up and walked over quickly, raised his slap and slapped Xiao Qiang on the back of the head.
"Alas!" Xiao Qiang was slapped by Li Ye, and immediately let out a painful snort, when he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw Ye Mengying pursing his lips and chuckling at him, while Li Ye beside Ye Mengying had a cold expression.
Don't think that it must be Li Ye who slapped himself just now!
"Brother Li, what are you doing!" Xiao Qiang rubbed the back of his head and muttered to Li Ye dissatisfiedly.
"What are you doing! Get up and have a meeting!" Li glared at Xiao Qiang impatiently.
Due to the special nature of the work, although it was already more than 7 o'clock in the evening, the canteen of the Special Administration Bureau was still open.
But after all, it was night, and the cafeteria seemed a little deserted, except for two or three cooking masters who were still there to make food when they went home, there were only seven or eight police officers who missed their meals because of work and sat in all corners of the canteen, gobbling up their heads and eating.
After Li also woke up Xiao Qiang, he was going to have a meeting directly, but what made Li also speechless was that Xiao Qiang had just woken up and started to scream that he was hungry again, saying that he would faint if he didn't eat again.
If it was just Xiao Qiang shouting that he was hungry, then no matter how much he tossed like this, Li would not pay attention to him, but then Ye Mengying blushed and said that she didn't eat dinner either, which made Li have no choice, so he had to change the location of the meeting to the cafeteria.
