Looking at Bullock in front of him, Hoden could perceive many loopholes and gaps, and it was obvious that Brock's arrogance and pride had blinded him, so much so that he had completely forgotten who the young man standing in front of him really wasβor rather, he remembered, only the more he wanted to show off his might in front of Hoden.
How exactly to deal with an opponent like Bullock is not difficult for Hoden.
At this point, Hordon didn't compliment, but said lightly, "The mission of the vigilantes." β
It is conceivable that Bullock has always regarded himself as a "nobleman", and has never paid attention to the work of the security team, and his nobility is his pride, but the reality is that among the ranks of the nobility, it is precisely his sheriff status that makes Bullock stand out, because it represents justice.
Therefore, Bullock's feelings about the job of sheriff are very mixed, and it can even be said that he likes to coexist with exclusion.
In normal times, Bullock would not have bothered to show off his work, but this time it was different, Mr. Stanley's case was bound to attract a lot of attention, including countless nobles, which also meant that Bullock could use this stage to show himself and further win a higher position in the ranks of the aristocracy.
It is precisely because of this that Bullock attaches special importance to the case, and the glory of the "mission of the security team" shines again.
Really!
Hoden's words touched Brock's weakness, on the surface, he pretended not to care, "It's just my daily job", but he couldn't help but nod his head lightly, revealing his true feelings at this time, and even seemed to invite Hoden, "Say more".
Because Holden didn't discuss the case in depth, Bullock was able to take advantage of the situation to publish those "inside stories".
"We can imagine that there should be countless suspects attempting to murder Mr. Malcolm Stanley, and it is possible to find at least ten potential suspects by stepping out of the vigilante and standing on the street and asking casually, and criminals who want Mr. Stanley to disappear may appear in every corner of life. β
Bullock shared it rhetorically.
"In other words, the reason for the crime, it's not difficult, because everyone has their own potential reason for the crime, and more importantly, the time and opportunity of the crime, they must match the cause, in order to be able to lock down the real murderer, which is also what I have been investigating in the past two weeks. β
Hodden bowed his head to indicate that he was still listening intently, and although there was no flattery or flattery, Hodden's eyes could make Bullock feel that his words were being heard, and the taste of pride and ostentation made his words gush out, and he couldn't stop at all.
"According to the clues, I also encountered a lot of detours, and finally came to the position of David Lechman, who is the murderer who meets all the conditions. β
Bullock's differential treatment can be felt from the title, for the deceased is "Mr. Stanley", and for the murderer is "David Lechman", he did not even call the "suspect", and directly gave the definition of "murderer", which seems to have been closed before further investigation.
But Holden didn't interrupt Bullock.
"On the night of Mr. Stanley's murder, David did not have enough evidence and witnesses to prove his whereabouts, especially the time period of his death, and according to his own testimony, he went out to the market in search of leftover vegetables and seafood, hoping to supplement the family. Because his wages were withheld by Mr. Stanley. β
As far as Hodden knew, Mr. Lechman was a bookkeeper.
Unlike an accountant like Nair, Mr. Lechman was only literate and numeracy-wise, and his daily job was to keep all the transactions and keep a professional account. As a result, Mr. Lechmann's remuneration was not very generous.
Mr. Stanley decided that David's work was not good and that he did not deserve that much pay, so he withheld part of his salary. This was obviously not good news for David, so he went to the market to see if he could find some leftover ingredients, hoping to help his family. β
However, David did not gain much. β
"Here's the key. β
David was not able to find any remnants of food to prove his trip to the market, and David did not encounter anyone or anything to prove that he had been to the market, and his testimony was uncorroborate, which means that David's whereabouts are unknown in the event of Mr. Stanley's presumed death. β
"Obviously, David has a grudge against Mr. Stanley for withholding wages, and his already meagre income is now shrinking even further, which is clearly not wonderful. β
However, if the murder is carried out just because of the small salary of Wukis, there is still a lack of strong evidence, and there are many, many more potential murderers in a similar predicament to David, and it is impossible to count. Importantly, we also found even more important evidence of why David did it. β
Bullock, a little excited.
Like a child showing off his exploits, Parcia strongly suspects that Bullock's brain is actually awake, and he knows who Hoden is standing in front of him, and Hoden's identity makes Bullock even more excited, because he wants to be able to prove his abilities in front of Hoden.
Those eyebrows and dances are leaking the true thoughts of Bullock's heart, and there is no need for Holden or Pascia to make a sound, just one look is enough for Bullock to tell all the ins and outs like a bamboo tube pouring beans.
This...... It's a bit childish.
But Pascia is witnessing this scene.
"Obviously, this requires a large and cumbersome investigative work to complete. "Not only do you need to interrogate a large number of potential suspects, but you also need to find clues in the midst of thousands of pieces of evidence." Pacia and I are investigating the mass disappearance of homeless people, but there is still no progress because we have so much information to deal with, and we are stuck right now. β
The disappearance of the homeless?
Survey?
When did it happen?
Pacia's head was full of question marks, and although they should have continued to cooperate in the investigation, the investigation did not take place, so what was Hodden talking about?
Bullock was able to find satisfaction in Hoden's words: what did Hoden not be able to accomplish, but he did, and what does this prove?
"Of course. Bullock nodded in agreement, "It's not easy. But the expression means something else: You know it's not easy, but I did it anyway, how about it, amazing, right?
Howlen smiled and responded with a gentle chin of his head.
Bullock seemed encouraged, and continued, "We found a ledger that records the real reason for David's murder. β
