Satan's servants (16) investigate
"Who is this?"
"Erin from the Royal Prosecutor's Office. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Tianyun politely stretched out his hand, shook hands with Lester and Richie, and sat down next to Jun Hao: "I have heard about the tragedy that happened in Rochester Prison. When he saw Jon that day, he had been restless and seemed to be afraid of something. β
"Scared?" Richie tugged at his glasses curiously. He looked much younger than Lester, and his white face had the vitality unique to young people, and naturally he was a little more childish. "Miss Irene, did you just mean that Jon was threatened by someone else?"
"Yes. About this, he himself admitted. Tianyun took out a memory card from her handbag, "That day, I secretly filmed Jon with a video camera. And what he said and what he did was recorded. This is a backup file and has not been cut in any way. β
Jun Hao was slightly stunned.
- Erin, why didn't she tell him about it beforehand?
"That's great!" Rich excitedly took the memory card from Tianyun's hand, carefully put it into the file bag he carried, and then asked, "Then Miss Irene, before we watch this video, can you briefly describe the scene of the meeting with Jon?" β
Tianyun nodded her head, and gave a brief explanation of the situation of visiting Jon that day. When Lester and Richie heard that Jon had drawn the face of the real murderer, their eyes became extremely excited.
"Is that portrait in your possession, Miss Erin?" Rich asked.
Erin shook her head and smiled, "No." The portrait is here in Junhao. He's a detective, and he might find something special through the portrait. β
Lester and Richie turned their gaze to Jun Hao. Jun Hao shook his head and said, "I'm very sorry, I won't hand over that portrait to the police for the time being." β
"Why?!" Richie looked a little excited, and Lester also looked at Jun Hao with puzzled eyes: "Mr. Jun Hao, that portrait is an important piece of evidence that the police need, I hope you can cooperate with our work." β
"There's something wrong with that portrait." Jun Hao explained, "Jon's way of painting this portrait is very strange. Therefore, I think that the person in the portrait is not the real murderer of the case. β
Lester couldn't understand Jun Hao's logic. According to Erin's description, Jon has been emphasizing that this is the real culprit after drawing the portrait at that time. And the identity of this person, according to the eyes of 'Irene', is a religious extremist, and it is very dangerous. Now that Jon has drawn the appearance of the real murderer, the police have evidence to search for this person. And Jun Hao has no reason not to cooperate with their investigation work at all.
"Mr. Jun Hao, I can understand your eagerness to solve the case. But we also hope that you will be able to cooperate with the police in their investigations. After all, it is the duty of the police to solve the case, not a personal interest. Lester's tone wasn't friendly, "Since Jon has provided the suspect's portrait, I hope you can hand it over to the police." If you really want to participate in solving the case, we at the police are more than welcome to join us. β
Lester's words were very tactful, in his understanding, perhaps Jun Hao was unwilling for the police to participate in his process of solving the case, which ruined his fun of solving the case. But Jun Hao still just shook his head and said, "I do have an obligation to cooperate with the police investigation." But I can't give the police clues that I know are wrong, because that will only mislead the police and wronged innocent people. Even if that person is a heinous man, I don't want to blame him for a fault that doesn't belong to him, and slander him with untrue evidence. β
"How can you ......?!" Richie wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lester. He didn't want to argue too much with Jun Hao. In Lester's eyes, Jun Hao is a psychopath who behaves strangely, but he was not sent to a mental hospital, and his profession happens to be a detective, and he has indeed helped the police, and has solved several cases with his weird logical thinking skills. Since he is unwilling to provide it, there is no need to force it. After all, in their hands, there is the video material provided by Irene.
"In that case, we won't bother anymore. After we have gone back and studied the footage provided by Miss Irene, we will contact you again if necessary. With that, Lester got up to leave. After saying goodbye to the two of them briefly, Jun Hao asked Su Luo to send the two downstairs, and then returned to the living room and looked at 'Irene'.
'Irene' was sitting at the coffee table, flipping through an insect magazine. She was still so beautiful, especially when she was focused on something, and her beautiful blue eyes seemed to shine like a sapphire.
"Erin, why didn't you tell me you brought a camera that day?" Jun Hao walked over to Erin and sat down, examining Erin's face with an inquiring gaze.
"I forgot to say it." Tianyun didn't want to explain too much about this problem, but took out a large stack of documents from his handbag. "I borrowed graphic information from Vincent about the Rochester Prison massacre, which contained autopsy reports of 31 deceased people, as well as detailed identification information. I've made a copy of it all, you can take a look. β
"Is Vincent in charge of this case?" After taking the documents in Tianyun's hand, Jun Hao really didn't ask about the camera anymore.
Tianyun nodded, "Thirty-one felons died this time. Although the police temporarily claimed that it was a group brawl to the public, they also blocked most of the information. However, because some prison guards saw the scene at the time and were taken to the hospital due to excessive fright before the investigation team arrived at the scene of the crime, many of the doctors, nurses and other patients he came into contact with had already heard the real situation. What's even more troublesome is that many media reporters are tracking the case. Presumably, there may be some politicians behind the scenes, trying to suppress some people. β
Jun Hao is not interested in the purpose of politicians. He was only concerned with the true cause of death of the thirty-one felons, and whether there would be some unknown connection between them and Jon, Tarani, and the ten teenagers who died tragically.
Carefully look through each autopsy report. As previously learned through police insiders, only six of the 31 deceased had suffered fatal injuries, and the rest were only stab wounds to the flesh or subcutaneous bruises caused by blows and collisions, which could not have caused death. Those fatal injuries were caused by a switchblade, a murder weapon found at the scene. On this murder weapon, the fingerprints of two people were collected - Jon Galli and Louis Pitt. Louie's autopsy report was very strange, and no internal or external injuries were found on his body, as if he had died suddenly. In general, this condition is usually sudden death caused by heart palsy. However, in the blood test report, no abnormal indicators were found, and in short, it was not a sudden death caused by drugs.
"I took a preliminary look at the materials. On the murder weapon, Louie's fingerprints are more obvious than Jon's, and Jon's fingerprints are partially covered by Louie's. Therefore, it can be roughly inferred that Jon took the murder weapon and killed those people at the beginning, and Louie may have later taken the murder weapon and killed Jon and some of them. But there is no way to explain the cause of Louis's death. β
Jun Hao nodded in agreement and said, "With Jon's physical fitness, it is impossible to kill thirty prisoners. But Louie used to be a fighter in an underground casino, and if it were him, it wouldn't be impossible to kill that many people. Now the question is, why did those thirty-one prisoners leave their cells at night? How did they leave? And why is there a fierce fight in the corridor? In the end, they all died tragically? β
"A reasonable inference is that the 31 prisoners collectively orchestrated an escape. But in the process of escaping, there were quarrels or disagreements that led to a group brawl that ended in death. β
Jun Hao shrugged his shoulders and said disapprehantly: "This is the official explanation. But apparently, this is not the truth. β
"For the official, the truth is never the most important thing." Tianyun's tone was marked with a hint of sarcasm. "So, do you think this tragedy was not a tragedy caused by a group fight?"
Jun Hao shook his head and said, "There are many things that are not logical in this case. If a collective escape occurred in the middle of the night, and there was an argument and a brawl, it would be impossible for the prison guards on duty not to find out, let alone allow the prisoners to fight to death. According to the information, the surveillance equipment in the corridor that night did not record any situation at the time of the incident. However, after the monitoring equipment was inspected, no damage or abnormality was found. In other words, at the time of the crime, the monitoring equipment was ineffective. But after that, it was back to normal. To do this, unless it's ......"
"Is there someone inside the prison cooperating with the criminals in committing the crime?"
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." This is also Jun Hao's least favorite result to speculate, "If it is a prison insider, it is indeed possible to control the monitoring equipment, or even deliberately delete the video records of that period." β
"So, what is the connection between this case and Taranny's case?"
"That's one of the things I'm thinking about." Jun Hao put down the materials in his hand, turned to the study, and took out a snow-white letter paper. "This is an anonymous letter, most likely the hand of the murderer."
Jun Hao handed the letter to Erin, 'Erin' took the letter paper and read it carefully, the snow-white five fingers lightly pinched the same snow-white letterhead, and the bright red nail polish was very bright. For some reason, this bright red color made Jun Hao feel slightly dazzling.
"The content of this letter ......" Tianyun was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed: "Could it be the murderer's provocation?" But why would he know you're investigating this case? Is it ......? β
"I thought about that too. It is indeed very likely that the murderer is a police insider. That's why I was able to kill the thirty-one prisoners so easily, and find where I was, and send this letter. Jun Hao twisted his eyebrows as he spoke, and pulled out another cigar from the humidor, and was about to pick up the blade, but 'Erin' took the blade and cigar from his hand, and quickly and lightly cut a perfect incision. If it is within the police, it will be difficult to continue the investigation. "Erin handed the cigar to Jun Hao's hand, but Jun Hao was stunned for a moment before taking the cigar and muttering, "Erin, you have indeed changed a lot......"
"Huh?" Tianyun looked at Jun Hao inexplicably.
"In the past, you would never have cut a cigar for me, because you hated the smell of cigars." When Jun Hao said this, his eyes were always fixed on 'Irene's face, as if he wanted to find something through her.
"You know that. Many leaders of the procuratorate like to smoke this. Tianyun gave another reasonable explanation, and then asked: "This letter says that I want you to guess a riddle, what is the riddle?" β
"It's this." Jun Hao took out the cut envelope and handed it to 'Erin'.
Looking down at the contents of the envelope, 'Erin' slowly read out the eleven lines of riddle.
"The lying child devours the black heart and liver;
The selfish woman drank the vicious black blood;
The cowardly butcher, who died by the knife of fear;
The ugly soul has become a vicious dog that bites;
The messenger of justice, who shattered the false braincase;
The stupid populace bites off the long tongue of nonsense;
The creator of public opinion, cut off the cold ten fingers;
Devout believers, who give their souls and blood;
Satan's servant, tasting the delicious darkness;
Can the wise men of mankind catch up with death?
NEXT.......... GAME..........οΌ β
"What does that mean?" 'Erin' looked at Jun Hao in confusion. "If you're going to guess a riddle, there's always a hint, right?"
Jun Hao lit his cigar, took a deep breath, spit out a circle of smoke rings, and nodded, "He has already given a hint." That's the last line, NEX**AME. What he wanted me to guess was the next game, the next killing. According to this ten-line poem, the next killing should correspond to the sentence 'The messenger of justice shattered the false brain'. Jun Hao explained: "According to my guess, the lying child devoured the black heart and liver - it should be the ten teenagers who had their hearts and livers gouged out; The selfish woman drank the vicious black blood - it was supposed to be the death of Tarani, but it was not clear what the vicious black blood meant; The cowardly butcher, who died under the knife of fearβthis sentence shall correspond to Jon's death for the time being, for the cause of his death was a piercing of the heart; The ugly soul has become a biting dog - perhaps referring to the thirty-one dead prisoners. Therefore, the next killing should refer to the sentence - 'The messenger of justice has shattered the false braincase'. What I am thinking about now is who the 'messenger of justice' is mentioned in the letter. And why do you want to smash the 'false' braincase? β
Listening to Jun Hao's analysis, Tianyun's heart swelled with bursts of irrepressible excitement! The red glow under his eyes flickered constantly.
"That's right, Erin. Why didn't you tell me about the camera? Jun Hao suddenly asked about it again.
"Huh?" Erin was stunned for a few seconds before she said, "I forgot to tell you." I've been busy lately, and I've always forgotten things. He didn't want to explain this question too much, so he naturally avoided Jun Hao's inquiring gaze. Tianyun put down the envelope and stationery in his hand, got up and walked to Jun Hao's side, stretched out his hand and gently hugged his neck, and said with a smile: "Great detective, do you remember what day it is?" β
"What day is it?" For some reason, the first thing that came to Jun Hao's mind was the first paragraph on the letter.
"It's April 1st, April Fool's Day!" 'Irene' had a smile on her face, and her blue eyes looked particularly charming under the intoxicating smile. "The procuratorate has an April Fool's Day party, why don't we go together?"
"April Fool's Day party?"
"Yes. It is said to be a masquerade. "Erin reached out and touched Jun Hao's face, sighed and said, "Don't always think about these cases, let's relax once in a while." Maybe something will suddenly come to mind, or find some clues? β
