Although Issa strongly suspected that everything just now was just Hoden's conspiracy, she also had to admit that they did desperately need Hoden's help.

When she first learned that the Eighth Jurisdiction was preparing to hire Hoden as a consultant sheriff, Issa was the first to express her support, knowing better than anyone what Hoden was capable of, but the question was more about how the cooperation should be carried out, as Hoden always had some ...... in his head Qingqi, and unconsciously able to wrap others in, stupidly sold and helped Holden count the money.

It's like now.

Issa realized that she had been entwined and was a little depressed, but after a moment's hesitation, she didn't continue to dwell on it, and went deeper.

"And that's not all. ”

"Later, we followed the disappearances and deaths and found a homeless house in the 8th arrondissement, with seven names from their occupants. ”

Originally, Nightingale's investigation manual had a total of twenty names, and after deducting Holden and Samuel, there were only eighteen left.

In order to avoid the terrible situation of a large number of homeless people freezing to death on the streets when winter comes, Iwabuchi has provided an application program for those homeless homes to apply for funding and then provide accommodation and food for the homeless to alleviate the survival plight of the homeless as much as possible. ”

"Outside of winter, it can also be effective in relieving the pressure on the city streets. ”

"But it's still in the early stages of development, and there aren't many homeless homes applying for funding. ”

"The project stipulates that every homeless home must be officially registered, and the personal data of all homeless people who stay overnight or go to eat. ”

"It is precisely because of this that we were able to find this wandering home according to the registration information. ”

Issa spoke, and Hodden listened.

Obviously, this wandering home should be the one that Oliver mentioned.

And this homeless home has seven homeless people missing or dead, and the authorities may not have paid attention to it, after all, it is not an important population, but the homeless people must be able to get first-hand information, no wonder the number of people visiting has been declining in recent months, and I am afraid that the homeless people are also aware of the anomaly.

"Is there anything unusual there?" Hoden didn't hold out hope, he knew by referring to the tailor shop and the inspection center, even if the wandering house was involved in the banquet, there should be no clues left there, but the investigation is the investigation, and the routine still needs to be completed, so as not to miss the clues, don't take it for granted.

Issa nodded her head in agreement, "Hmm. ”

At first, Issa's investigation failed to find clues, and even if the homeless home provided a shelter from the elements, it still could not prevent the homeless from leaving, and naturally, the whereabouts of the homeless were difficult to trace.

There was nothing flawed in the homeless home's rhetoric, they did not know the whereabouts of the homeless, and the search and investigation of the security team did not find any traces.

But then, Issa remembered the details of Randolph's case, and thought of the accounts - Randolph was accidentally implicated by Lenoll because of the accounting problem, and money is always the most important motive for committing crimes.

So, Issa began to investigate the homeless home's accounts, and then found a breakthrough.

"According to the regulations, the homeless people who support the homeless will be counted according to the number of people, and the city hall will calculate it according to the number of people, on the one hand, a certain percentage of the tax will be exempted from the homeless home applicants, and on the other hand, the amount will be allocated according to the number of people to ensure that the homeless home can provide adequate accommodation and food. ”

"The cost per head is not much, otherwise it would not be a voluntary semi-charitable project, but the accumulation of a head and head is a lot of money. ”

"The homeless home counts the number of homeless people in large quantities or even overcounts, but it does not provide them with accommodation or food at all, many homeless people are driven out after eating a few potatoes, and then where they go, the homeless home will not care at all, just report the number regularly, and then come to make huge profits. ”

"So they didn't know about the disappearance of the homeless at all, because they were the ones who drove the homeless people to blame. ”

"You can't imagine how many crowe they hid in the secret door of the bedroom wall, and in order to avoid being found in the bank accounts, they hid all crowe in their home, and what I saw alone was more than two hundred crowe. And the final statistics should be more than that. ”

"I can't believe how many homeless people are behind these two hundred crowes. ”

Howlen's idea was, how many cups of top-of-the-line gold satin beer could be bought for 200 crooks?

The numbers should be huge.

However, when human lives are equated with money, even the largest amount of money cannot measure the importance of those lives.

Holden nodded lightly to show that he understood, he was not surprised that Issa was able to investigate the results, the case was not too complicated, and Issa has now gradually found the way, the situation of a wandering home is still difficult for the squadron leader, Holden is even more curious:

"So have you checked the list of homeless homes, and how many people are missing or dead?"

Hodden keenly grasped the key at once, and at the same time, it was also an important clue that the Wandering House was directly linked to Mr. Harford's banquet.

But Isa's expression was a little embarrassed, "It's still counting." As you know, the whereabouts of homeless people are not easy to detect, and now that there are so many of them, we need more time. ”

After a pause, Issa muttered, "And the team isn't very active." ”

After all, it is a homeless man, an existence abandoned and forgotten by people, and even if he sees the corpse of a homeless man, the security team only symbolically files a case, and few people will investigate deeply, even Issa himself is no exception.

If it weren't for the sheer number of homeless disappearances this time, which was simply shocking, Issa probably wouldn't have really taken it seriously. And now faced with a small mountain of investigation and confirmation work - and the identity and status of most of the homeless people are in a state of uncertainty, passive sabotage within the security team is also to be expected.

After realizing this, Issa inevitably felt a little embarrassed, and there was no way to go on with life just by relying on full of enthusiasm.

Raising his gaze again, Issa tried to probe Holden's expression, but found that Holden's brows frowned slightly, and he fell into deep thought, his expression was a little solemn, "Holden, did you find something?"

Hoden raised his eyes to meet Isa's scrutiny, "What if I said that it's not just the homeless that has gone missing in large numbers?"
