Chapter 137: Selflessness and Selfishness

Crunch ~ crunch ~

The tires of the vehicle are covered with snow, and the Roses team arrives outside the villa.

As soon as they arrived at the police station in Tallinn this morning, they were told that the house of a prominent government official in the city had been attacked, so that before they could enter the police station, they had already re-mounted in the car and rushed to the scene of the crime.

Before them, the police department had already sent a police force to arrive, so that by the time the Rose Squad arrived, there were already quite a few police officers on the scene.

"This number is too exaggerated, isn't it...... Now the case is popular and swarming up, crowd tactics?"

Donald looked at the full number of police cars parked on both sides of the street, which looked like it was just the perimeter of a medium-sized villa, and the number of police officers at the front door could even be described as crowded.

"Exaggerated? no, it may be more exaggerated later, after all, this is the Owen family!"

Susanna's gaze lingered on the emblem on the outer wall of the villa.

"Donald, here's the police department's information, you can take a look. ”

Stephanie handed over a folder at the right time, and Donald pulled out the information in it and quickly skimmed through it, and couldn't help but be shocked to see the end.

The Owen family, the outside world has many titles for this family, and the loyal guardians of Dmingham are one of the more widely spread.

It's a special family.

The Dirmingham Daily once conducted an investigation, and in the past few decades, the Owen family has trained more than 30 sheriffs, including direct members of the Owen family and side personnel who have a certain connection with the Owen family.

Although a significant number of them are now retired, their protΓ©gΓ©s and subordinates have been scattered throughout the police department for several years.

Not to mention those who are still in office.

The current chief of the Dmingham Police is Behemo Edward.

He was appointed by the government to ensure the prestige of the police department among the aliens after the thunderstorm of that year.

It is a personnel who has been transferred from abroad.

Before him, the chief of the Dmingham Police Department had always been the head of the Owen family.

Someone once said in private that Behemo Edward relied on his unrivaled strength to order the police station, and no one dared to say a "no" to him.

Connally Owen took control of the police department with the prestige and charisma that the Owen family had built up in Dmingham for decades, and made everyone feel free to do things for him.

It's impossible to know who the commenter was, but the gap between the two is clear.

Most people think that one day Behemo Edward will be old and no longer have the strength of the dominant rank, and his successor will not reach the position of power he should have.

Then the position of the police chief, not surprisingly, is still the Owen family.

There is no second option!

It is precisely because of this that the attack on the head of the Owen family will cause such a big momentum.

"What are you doing?"

No sooner had he stepped through the cordon and into the door of the Owen family's villa than Donald heard a neutral voice.

"Who allowed you to leave your affairs and come to my house? This is a grave dereliction of duty!"

Listening to the meaning of this, is it Connelly Owen who reprimands people?

"What are your accusations, answer me!"

Suddenly, I heard someone yelling.

"Guarding Demmingham!"

"Be louder!"

"Guarding Demingham!!"

"Collect the team, get back to your duty!"

"Yes, sir!!"

It seems that the dialogue has been rehearsed countless times, and even the police officers leaning against the gate subconsciously straighten up and stand with their feet together.

The officers in front of him began to retreat in large numbers, and Donald saw the man standing in the snow through the gap in the crowd of officers.

He was shirtless, with a large number of bandages around his waist and abdomen, and the violent movements of the reprimand just now seemed to cause the wound to burst, and the doctors and nurses around him were anxiously trying to persuade something, while he just watched the police leave his villa, get into the car, and return to their posts.

From start to finish, Connelly Irving's spine didn't bend even an inch.

He is not the chief of the Dmingham Police Department, but he can still do in a few words what only a chief can do.

That's the charisma.

The eyes of the people are bright, and the title of loyal guardian of Demmingham is not something that the news agency can boast.

Connery Owen was a competent police chief, as even Behemo Edward had emphasized in many government meetings and private receptions.

"This is Connery Irving......"

Hopper whispered to himself, and Donald heard it, but didn't say anything more.

In just a few minutes, there were only a dozen police officers left in the entire Owen family villa to protect the scene, and Donald and the others had a chance to get close to Connery Owen.

The questioning took place in the study, where Connery Owen sat on a bench with a healing potion in his hand and a wound on his waist being treated.

"At breakfast time, an assassin climbed over the courtyard wall of my house, through the small garden, broke through the walls and windows to assassinate, he was tall, about 6 feet, of medium build, fighting empty-handed, he burst into the room, first killed my wife, Shirley Owen, and then tried to kill me, but was intercepted by my guards, and I survived. ”

As Connelly Owen recounted the case, everyone in the Rose Squad had more or less strange expressions on their faces.

For no other reason, Conrad Irving, is too calm...... One might even say cold.

When he said the first half of the sentence, Donald thought that he was the only one who was injured, and there were no other casualties, which is why he was so calm.

As a result, the content of the second half of the sentence surprised Donald and made the rest of the Rose Team confused.

The death of his wife was just a dry sentence in Connally Owen's mouth: I killed my wife Owen Shirley first.

There are no emotional fluctuations throughout the narrative, as if discussing his breakfast bread being trampled on by the Assassins.

The latter may also have some regrettable feelings.

"Absolute rationality, as the head of the Owen family, you have to dedicate everything to the family and Dmingham, this is the family motto of the Owen family, and it is rumored that every head of the Owen family has received this teaching since childhood, or ...... Brainwashing, for him, his wife is just a tool to continue the family bloodline, the same as the knife and fork during the meal, I only thought it was a rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true, which reminds me of another comment about Connery Owen that circulated among the nobles of Dmingham: Connery Owen is not a good husband, never has been!"

Suzanne didn't know why she looked a little lost, and maybe mixed with some resentment that she probably didn't even notice herself.

As a woman, of course, it is uncomfortable to hear that there is a man who looks down on his wife so much.

As a government official, Connery Owen was selfless and great.

As a husband, Connery Owen was undoubtedly extremely selfish and ruthless.

"Leave that alone, let's investigate, in pairs, Stephanie and Suzanne will go for questioning, Pence and Boglo will go to check the scene, and Donald will examine the body with me. ”

Their mission is to catch the assassin, not to discuss the private life of an imperial viscount here.

After listening to Horn's assignment, Stephanie glanced at Donald, who was already on his way to the room where the body was placed.

The two girls are in charge of intelligence gathering, and Stephanie's talent and Susanne's communication skills can come in handy.

Pence and Boglo, one a martial artist and the other a crossbowman, are familiar with melee or ranged combat.

Donald himself is a wizard, able to detect possible spell fluctuations on corpses, and has a high-level undead by his side, and he probably has no more say in the assessment of the state of corpses than her.

The division of labor is clear, the thinking is clear, and the progress of the three parties is also smooth, but the final result is unsatisfactory.

In the hallway of the villa's garden, avoiding the Owen family, the Rose Squad begins to have an intra-team discussion and share information.

"Before the assassination, the guards and servants in the villa did not notice anything unusual, and before today, there were no suspicious figures around the villa, and no one had inquired about the Owen family. ”

Stephanie leaned against the wall of the inner hallway, her eyes resting on Finger, who had served as a hand warmer in Donald's arms.

Her charm was tempered and both men and women were eaten, and it took her an hour to ask almost all the servants and guards of the Owen family, without asking for any useful information.

"The murderer seems to have passed by by the Owen family courtyard by chance, happened to see the Owen couple dining, and felt that he could kill the people inside, and then without any preparation, he climbed over the wall, charged, attacked the target, and the abrupt beginning, the same abrupt end......"

This description may be an exaggeration, but it also shows that Suzanne also did not find out that the killer had made any preparations before the assassination.

"The courtyard wall is nearly 10 meters away from the location where the Owen couple dined, but there are only 3 footprints in the yard, the murderer's speed is very fast, the building materials used in the walls of this villa are not ordinary stone bricks, but they don't even hold it up for a second in front of him, which shows that the murderer has the means to suddenly form a range of super impact...... None of this will help us find the murderer. ”

This is the information that Pence and Boglo discovered, and the murderer's attack process was simple, clean, and without a trace of superfluous behavior.

Fast speed, strong power, and a ranged attack are traits that are shared by any melee fighter with a certain level of strength.

"There is no clue in the corpse, it is just a blow to death, and there is no special means. ”

Horn said what he wanted to say for Donald, and they examined several corpses, including Shirley Owen, all of which were ordinary external injuries, such as a punch to a broken skull, a kick to break a neck bone, and a ruthless and crisp attack, stabbing with pure physical strength to avoid any exposure of talent.

The killer seems to be deliberately hiding his methods, and he has proven to be successful.

To determine the target, what is needed now is traits, traits that can distinguish the murderer from ordinary aliens.

"Does the Bureau of Anomalies have tracer powder?"

After a long silence, Donald suddenly turned his head and asked Horn.

I really can't think of a way, so I can only use the stupidest way.

Donald could only hope that someone in the Bureau of Diversity would make tracer powder, and there would be enough of it......
