049 On paper
Advertisement in Fenglan Lane?
In Iwabuchi, where a newspaper needs a toddler, both paper and printing are relatively expensive, which also means that the penetration rate of paper advertising is bound to be low, so the "merchants" who can print advertisements, no matter how small, are bound to have a shrewd business mind. Otherwise, you won't be able to make ends meet.
But Hodden was more interested in this: Is Lenoor's salary enough to pay for Maple Lane?
Issa couldn't find much emotion on Holden's cheeks, so she could only take the initiative to say, "We guess that maybe that's why the couple are arguing. β
Hodden could hear the overtones, "That's the initial judgment of your team? The husband impulsively kills out of anger, which explains the wife's part, but what about the children's part?"
Issa pursed the corners of her lips, "Our team's analysis shows that he may be an alcoholic with a violent mindset for a long time. Her voice was also a little hesitant, in fact, she felt that there were many doubts about such an inference, but she was helpless not to find valid evidence.
"First, you can make sure that your wife has the scars of a long-term beating, and second, there's no need for him to hide his hobbies - I mean, he doesn't have to go home with an advertisement, he can go to Fenglan Lane to have fun." β
"Thirdly, and most importantly, the fact that there are no visible traces of cooking in the kitchen also proves that Madame Lenoll is not an ordinary housewife and may have been out a lot. If Mr. Lenore was really abusive, Mrs. Lenore's colleagues and friends should have been aware of it. β
So...... This means that there is no possibility of a couple quarreling.
Issa chewed carefully, "I know, I'll check the condition of the body when I get back." β
Hodden said casually, "Haven't the bodies been buried yet? If they are placed like this, it is summer now, and the degree of decay is estimated to be obvious." β
Issa smiled confidently, "We still understand this, we used the ice element to freeze the corpse, and there will be no problem for the time being." β
Hoden nodded in understanding.
Issa continued, "Frank Lenoll is the auditor of Iwabuchi City Hall. Recently, he was reviewing the internal accounts of our security forces, which has sparked a lot of speculation. Obviously, the last thing we need now is internal scandals, and the security forces can't afford that kind of consequences. β
Holden turned his head to look at Issa, "Isn't that the best motive?" and answered his doubts: if the murderer was hiding inside the vigilantes, then a lot of things would be much clearer.
Issa took a deep breath, "I know what you're hinting at. But now we still have no evidence, and I don't want to condemn our internal partners casually, I ......"
Without waiting for Issa to continue explaining, Hoden waved his hand, signaling that he already understood and that there was no need to explain further.
In fact, Issa's enlisting Holden's help and concealing the vigilantes' actions is enough to say a lot.
"Can you give me a look at the information about the Lenols, and the information that has been investigated so far?" Horgan then requested.
"Can't you tell me first what clues you've found?" Issa didn't directly agree:
Asking for Holden's help, at the end of the day, Issa just wants Holden to provide a different perspective and dig up clues that she didn't see, but if the case is completely open to Holden, Issa has to be cautious and cautious, and she doesn't think it's a good idea.
Hodden turned to look at Issa, "If you're worried about me leaking information, you don't have to, and if you're worried that the killer is an insider of the security forces, you need to lend me the information to read - you're an insider, you're a bureaucracy, it's hard for you to step out of the circle and see the big picture." β
Issa still stared at Howlen and didn't move.
"Squadron Leader Issa, you are asking for my help, and I am trying to help you, if you wish this is the end, then I can tell you some clues, for me, there is no loss. "Holden wasn't angry because the incident itself didn't mean much to him, he was just an outsider.
Issa remained silent, still speaking, looking at Howlen quietly.
Hodden didn't flinch or hold back, just lazily and casually walked around the room, like a cat walking, his slightly squinted eyes were scrutinizing every corner of the room, and occasionally sniffing around with his nose like a puppy, unaffected by Issa.
Eventually, Issa slowly closed her eyes, "You have to go through the materials in front of me." β
"No problem. Holden replied lightly.
Issa was a little angry, "Holden, I'm serious. This thing...... I don't know, I always feel that something is wrong and it is not normal, I need an answer. β
"That's why I'm standing here. Hodden also stood firm and said seriously, but only for three seconds, "Of course, there are three Keiths." β
After Holden expressed his attitude like this, Issa relaxed, "The information is in the carriage, give me a minute." β
Returning from upstairs to downstairs, Issa stood outside blowing the cold breeze to cool her brain and make sure once again that it was not a reckless decision to hand over the case to the seventeen-year-old boy.
Then she stood firm.
He quickly rummaged through his briefcase under the seat of the carriage, pulled out the investigative materials, and then returned to the second floor and handed it to Hoden.
Hodden looked at the information casually, and asked at the same time, "How did the vigilantes close the case so far?"
Issa gathered her thoughts, "The murderer is Mr. Lenoor. We investigated his expenses, and in his coat, we found two tickets for the Maple Lane cabaret tour, as well as two stays at the hotel in the 12th arrondissement, both of which were ...... Uh......"
Issa hesitated to speak, not because she was a girl, but because Hodden was still underage.
"Don't worry, I know what that place is. "Holden clears Issa.
"The evidence we found out showed that his secret was discovered by his wife, and he impulsively committed the crime. Issa then finished their reasoning, "From the bloodstains, footprints, murder weapons, and other clues, all of them confirm the motive of the crime." β
"But you still think things are a little weird?" Hoden picked up.
Issa nodded, "Well, it's just that I can't tell." "That's why I'm looking for Holden's help.
"Have you noticed that Mr. Frank Lenoer's parents are dead and he has no siblings, and Mandy Lenoer's mother and sister are still alive and well, and they live in Nivi. β
Horgan offered a detail, but Issa didn't know why, "It doesn't mean anything. β
"No, Mrs. Lenoor's mother and sister are not dead, which means that either of them can take care of two children, and Nivi's living conditions are not much worse than those of Iwabuchiβand the primary and secondary education conditions have their own strengths. Even if Mr. Lenore impulsively killed his wife, he did not have to kill his two children. β
"Attention, still in such a cruel way. β
Could it be that this is the suspicion that Issa has always found strange?
