"You guys caught the wrong person, you know!"

Mayor Fritz's eyes were red, his body trembled slightly, and he said viciously: "I am the judge of Augusta!"

You detained me for no reason, and I will definitely sue you!"

"There are naturally reasons to arrest you, and now that you have been arrested on two charges of murder and embezzlement, as a judge, you should know your own rights.

You can hire a lawyer, and if you can't afford it, we'll appoint you a public lawyer for free.

Take him to the police station and interrogate him when I get back. ”

Agent Edgar had seen countless threats, his expression was full of indifference, and he waved his hand for the two FBI agents to take him away, and said to Han Xuan, "Sorry, this kind of thing happened at your resort.

We went to search his house just now and found conclusive evidence, a 44 caliber Colt python pistol, the bullet in the magazine, the same bullet left at the crime scene.

Presumably he didn't think anyone would find out that it was a homicide, so he didn't throw away the gun, criminals are often so arrogant, in fact, his plan is really good. ”

Many people around heard this sentence, and instantly thought of the only case in the town that died recently, Hanark and his son!

The noise suddenly remembered!

Martinez also cast the ballot for Fritz, muttering: "God, is it the judge who did it?"

……

Fast forward two days.

That day, Han Xuan and them went to the crime scene to investigate.

In the afternoon, Agent Edgar and CSI's captain, Agent Klopp, went on another trip with a metal detector.

However, there was a galena mine nearby, and the exposed lead ore interfered with, and the metal detector could not be used, and it was useless.

Edgar then stayed in Augusta to continue his investigation, while Agent Klopp returned to FBI headquarters in Helena.

When the medical examiner dissected the bodies of Hanak and Rick, he found unusual lacerations on their bodies.

Unlike the wolf's scratches and bites, the flesh left on Hanak's right rib found lacerations from the bullet, as well as slight burns on the epidermis.

Similarly, Rick had such a wound on his thigh, although the flesh was gone, but the bullet scratched the leg bone, causing a fracture and leaving abrasion marks.

After being actually shot, you won't be able to cover your wounds with your hands and continue to run like you do on TV.

The muscles and blood vessels inside the body become a mess.

Even in a bulletproof vest, several bones will be broken, and there is a high chance that you will fall unconscious.

Based on the injuries they were inflicted on at the time, it was impossible for them to escape.

Moreover, the people of the Crime Scene Investigation Department found traces of knife cuts and bound limbs on a British Columbia wolf that was otherwise dead.

With the characteristics of the British Columbia wolf, if it did not die immediately at that time, it could still call for help, and the sound would attract all the wolves within a few kilometers around, perhaps this is the truth that caused them to be attacked by wolves.

One of them could be unconscious due to blood loss, and the other was injured in the leg and could not escape, and the two men encountered hungry wolves and other scavengers in the snow

Therefore, it turned out to be murder without a doubt.

With the scene destroyed and too few clues in hand, Agent Edgar begins to investigate why anyone would want to kill them.

A visit to Hanark's neighborhood revealed that he rarely left the town.

The last time he left Augusta was last autumn, and if he could make a feud with someone else, it was definitely someone from the town.

Edgar targeted the convicts who had recently been released because of Hanark's imprisonment, the type of people who were few in town and who all had evidence of an alibi that day.

A female British Columbia wolf with a huge body weighing about 70 kilograms can be transported to the scene, either as a gang or as a man.

After questioning more than forty people in a row, Agent Edgar felt that he knew enough, and under an interview with a reporter from the Times newspaper in Augusta, he released a preliminary profile of the murderer:

Male, between the ages of 30 and 55, white, calm and calm, physically strong, experienced in hunting, will set traps to catch gray wolves.

He has good marksmanship and a 44-caliber pistol, and has had a recent conflict with Knahan or Rick

When Agent Edgar went to Mayor Fritz to ask for more newspapers, he unexpectedly noticed that Mayor Fritz's expression was calm, but very wrong.

With many years of criminal investigation experience, from some subtle movements and expressions of the other party, he felt that the mayor had something to hide, but he did not think about "he is a murderer".

Until the next day, the newspaper was published.

Mr. Raymond, the owner of the weapons shop, came to say that last year the mayor of Fritz had bought a 44-caliber pistol in his shop, and that he was a hobbyist hunter.

He had caught a few wolves with a bouncy ring trap, his father was the best hunter here, and Fritz had been learning since he was a child.

But since he came back from college and became a judge, he has stopped using it, and young people rarely know about it.

Raymond Sr. and Barton Sr. had a good relationship, having grown up together in Augusta, and of course knew Hanak.

They were so close that they wanted to question Fritz, but Edgar persuaded them.

Soon after, another patrol officer told him that the judge and Hannack had argued a few times in the previous month, apparently over Rick's role as sheriff, and Fritz disagreed.

After Edgar questioned the patrolman, he found that all the profiles matched Fritz, so he stared at him.

The mayor of a small town in the United States is not an official, and generally as long as he is rich or prestigious, he can serve as an official.

Belongs to the kind of people who are thankless and angry at both ends.

However, everything near the town must be asked to him first, and it is a bit right to talk about it.

The strength of the entire investigation team, staring at one person to investigate, progressed quite quickly.

When Edgar found out, Fritz's son had just bought a villa worth about $350,000 in Bozman, southeast of Helena, and paid in full.

I couldn't help but wonder about his source of funds, according to the investigation, Fritz's son was a car mechanic, and it was impossible for him to make so much money.

After asking the manager of the bank, it was found out that this was a road built some time ago, and it was to pass through the pastures of Fritz, and the money that the government compensated him was legal income.

However, the truth is

Fritz did not have a pasture at all!

He forged all the documents, temporarily assigned more than 100,000 acres of wasteland to his name, said that the road passed through his ranch, and defrauded the government of compensation.

After questioning the official in charge of the construction of the road, he replied that there was indeed a policeman named Knahan who had visited him at the beginning of the month and asked about it.

The situation is clear at a glance.

The sheriff got the news out of nowhere, and was killed by old Fritz when he tracked it down.

Edgar used Han Xuan's name to obtain a search warrant from the judge of the federal court in Helena City without much difficulty.

In the evening, the gun and the forged documents in the safe were found from Fritz's house

Han Xuan held the teacup, sat on the sofa in the lounge, and listened quietly to this unbelievable thing.

Although there have been an average of more than 20,000 homicides per year in the United States in the past ten years, Hei Xuan is still a little frightened when he really appears next to him.

For the sake of such a little money, old Fritz actually planned this homicide to hide the murder and blame the murderer on the wolves.

If it weren't for the fact that Old Barton wanted to investigate and hired FBI agents to reassure him, the people here would really attack him as an ordinary beast.

It is not uncommon for Mayor Fritz to lead a team to find it, and it is not uncommon for the scene to be destroyed, resulting in the footprints of other people.

It almost let him get his way

Han Xuan said: "Thank you, I think Barton and Hanak's wives and children will be very relieved to hear this news." ”

"It's fine, if you really want to thank me, invite me to a drink and interrogate him tomorrow.

There are still ten minutes left for New Year's Eve, and I don't want to waste such a beautiful time on him.

By the way, last week, we at the FBI, in a black market transaction, found a few pieces of ko's head gold, I think it could be yours.

The man named Hill hasn't been caught yet, but he is already wanted in the United States, and the information has been sent to Interpol, and he will soon be wanted worldwide, and he can't escape. ”

"Haha! Thanks again, you can drink the wine in the bar, and you must lie down and go back tonight" (to be continued.) )
