Chapter 516: Blizzard Mountain Villa Murder (11)
After looking down and thinking for a moment, Lin Lei raised his head and glanced at McGovern and asked, "What about the note?"
McGovern immediately took out a crumpled note from his underwear pocket and handed it to Lin Lei.
Lin Lei took it and looked at it, and sure enough, it was a handwritten handwriting, although it was in English, but it could also be seen that it was written by a woman, and the content of the note was indeed as McGovern said, asking him to go to the cabin......
After reading it, Lin Lei handed the note to Sheriff George and asked him to put it in the evidence bag - it was clear that this thing was very important, at least in Lin Lei's opinion.
After putting away the note, Sergeant George scratched his head and asked Lin Lei with some confusion: "Detective Lin, Kelly asked McGovern to cheat on the cabin, and then McGovern was attacked by a mysterious man - does this mean that Kelly was involved in the case?"
Lin Lei frowned slightly, noncommittal, but asked McGovern, "Did Kelly give you the note?"
McGovern didn't think about it, and replied directly: "No." I don't know when she put the note in my pocket, I guess it was when she was playing cards! I was playing Texas Hold'em with Robert......
Lin Lei nodded, was silent, and fell into deep thought again.
Just as Lin Lei looked down and thought, suddenly a rapid mobile phone rang - Sheriff George immediately took out his mobile phone and connected the phone.
In just a few seconds, Sheriff George was shocked: "What? What did you say? Dr. Kevin was killed?!"
Lin Lei was also stunned all of a sudden!
Kevin Forensic Murder ?!!
It's-
After Sergeant George hung up the phone, he immediately said to Lin Lei: "Oh no, Detective Lin, Forensic Kevin has been killed!"
Lin Lei took a deep breath and asked, "When did it happen?"
Sheriff George stabilized his emotions for a moment, and then said, "Just now, someone from a nearby village passed by Dr. Kevin's forensic house and found that it was a mess and had been burned to the ground. The man immediately ran to the village chief to report it, and the village chief brought people to put out the fire, and finally extinguished the fire and found George's body in the wreckage......"
After a pause, Sergeant George continued, "Detective Lin, I'll go to the scene right now!"
Lin Lei immediately made a decision and accompanied Sheriff George to Kevin's residence!
Most of the police cars in Alaska are snow buggies, and it only took Lin Lei and George half an hour to get to Kevin's residence in a snow buggy.
Sure enough, the place had burned to rubble, and even Kevin's body had burned beyond recognition.
Although unrecognizable, Kevin has been with Sheriff George for decades, and the nearby villagers are also familiar with him - judging by the outline of the corpse in all aspects, the person who was burned to death is Kevin, and the final result needs to be compared with DNA, but that is a later thing, and it is almost certain that the deceased is Kevin.
Gibson's corpse was not so lucky, not to mention the bone slag, even DNA samples could not be extracted, and the corpse was completely highly carbonized.
"Alas, I didn't expect Kevin to be poisoned...... Why did the killer kill Kevin?" Sergeant George let out a sigh and a huge question.
Lin Lei was noncommittal, just thinking quietly there.
The clean-up and investigation of the scene was immediately launched, and after a preliminary inquest, it was determined that Kevin was burned after his death, and the specific cause of his death could not be determined for the time being because he had been burned, and could only wait for the subsequent autopsy to be declassified.
In any case, it must not have been an accident of fire, but a murder unmistakably.
The accelerant should be gasoline, and there is a strong smell of burning gasoline at the scene.
Just then, Sheriff George's phone rang again.
Everyone's hearts hung in the air, for fear of hearing some more bad news - should the number of people killed increase again?
However, the good news came from the phone call this time, Robert, Daniel and Kelly were all found by the police, and they didn't go far!
After a brief questioning by the pursuing police, it was not that the three men had absconded in fear of crime, but because Kelly was afraid to stay in Cook Hill any longer, she strongly urged Robert and Daniel to go with her to a nearby village, saying that it would be safe if someone else was there.
Robert and Daniel couldn't help but be pestered by Kelly, so they had to agree to her.
The three of them walked together to a nearby village, but who knew that there was an avalanche on the road they were familiar with before, and the road was impassable. The three of them looked for a nearby path, but they turned around and got lost, until they were found by the police, and the three of them were still spinning in the snow!
After leaving some of the police to clean up the scene, Lynley and Sergeant George returned to Cook Hill with the rest of the group.
Kelly, Robert, and Daniel were taken back to Cook Hill, and along with McGovern, who had been left there, all four of them were taken under police control, except for the mysterious figure Rios, who was still nowhere to be heard.
On the car back to Cook Hills, Ray made his first request to Sheriff George.
All four suspects were isolated separately to prevent them from colluding with each other.
A short time later, the police car returned to Cook Hill, and Ray and Sergeant George entered the cottage hall.
A left-behind policeman stepped forward to report that Robert and the others were all in their rooms, and that police officers were watching in each room.
Sergeant George asked Lin Lei: "Detective Lin, you are an excellent policeman who has won the title of 'detective', since you are present in this case, then please leave it to you......"
George's words were very polite, and they didn't seem to match his identity - but Lin Lei knew that George was more afraid of the connections behind Lin Lei, otherwise with a foreign policeman without jurisdiction, people would definitely not look at Lin Lei.
Lin Lei's title of "detective" is more valuable than the title of "brick family," because it is generally recognized by the Interpol community.
Many "brick families" have various names, but they are actually titles issued by pheasant agencies to bluff people, but Lin Lei's "detective" title is obviously not.
Since Sheriff George is very polite, and Lin Lei has never been a person who pretends to be a big-tailed wolf, he smiled politely and said kindly: "Sheriff George is serious, we are all policemen, and now the first step must be to ask for the alibi of these people." ”
Sergeant George nodded, and then asked, "Detective Lin, who should you ask first?"
Lin Lei continued to smile, but a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said lightly: "McGovern has a perfect alibi at the time of Gibson's murder, so let's go and ask the other three about the activity trajectory between 14 and 16 o'clock yesterday afternoon." ”
