Upon learning of the progress of the severed finger case, the Bureau of Abnormal Investigation unsurprisingly agreed to Susanna's application for the transfer of the case, saying that an investigation team from King's Sparrow Island would immediately come to take over the case.

Originally, they wanted the Roses team to continue to fight, but Suzanne said that they still had half of the injured and sick personnel in their team, who had only experienced a major case before, and could not participate in the following comprehensive investigation.

The two sides are mercenary, and it is true that the Bureau has the right to command and command, but it is not so easy to force people to do thankless things.

Suzanne made it clear that it was okay to involve them, but it had to be counted according to merit in the special case.

After internal consideration, the Bureau of Anomalies gave a negative response.

They didn't think that the Rose Squad could be of much help, and their previous request was actually to think that one more person would be one more.

Susanna's request discouraged them.

So the Rose Squad continued the holiday.

"Donald, not feeling well?"

Stephanie was delighted, noticing that Donald, who was holding the page, had an ugly face, and leaned over and asked softly.

"Nothing, just something that suddenly came to mind...... Since you're going to go back, you'll have to return these materials to the police station, and I'm going to buy some juice for Lilo, and I'll help you return them. ”

Fold the paper in his hand and stuff it back into the file bag, adjusting his mood, Donald got up and left with Lilo.

Horn and Boglo's gazes lingered on his back.

It seems that there is some kind of tacit understanding, and no one says anything.

Joanna Hopkins, born in 1890, was the third victim of a finger amputation, and her body was found badly damaged......

Hopkins, this surname is rare.

The photograph on the victim's profile is the one on the deceased's resident card before his death, without makeup and without any costume.

Donald wished he had seen it wrong, but the passive effect of his agile thinking reminded him of the frames he had seen on Anthony's restaurant cabinet all this time when he saw the photo.

"Is there anything you need, sir?"

The waiter in the store stood behind the counter and watched Donald stand outside in a daze, and couldn't help but remind.

"Make two glasses of lime juice, the sour one. ”

After settling down, he put the pennies left over from the crackers on the table, and the waiter took the sliced limes and put them into a metal tube with some round holes underneath, and then used an iron pestle with some tapered spikes to squeeze the limes and began to press them.

This artificial method of juicing is relatively rare nowadays.

"One cup yours, one cup mine. ”

"I want them all. ”

"No, it's my money, so when I say one cup per person, one cup per person. ”

Donald leaned his cane against the edge of the bench outside, beckoned to Finger, and let it jump into his arms, lemon juice in one hand and finger severed information in the other.

It was work before, and now it's a private event.

After carefully reading the contents of the two document bags, the information in them does not describe the details of the case too much, and in many cases it is just a simple process and result, and then skips directly to the step of convicting the prisoner.

Including the evidence found at the scene, the confession of the criminal when he was interrogated by the police station and the abnormal investigation bureau, and the final punishment method.

The unsurprising death penalty.

There is no such thing as the abonement of the mentally ill in this world, sin is sin, and no reason can allow a mad guy to escape human destruction.

However, does the death of this criminal really mean the end?

Obviously there were still doubts, but he was directly executed on the grounds that sufficient evidence was found, and the content of the case report was also vague.

It is true that since the execution of the death penalty, there has been no recurrence of the case of finger severance, but this cannot be used as evidence that the case has been completely concluded.

Handing the two bags back to the police station, Donald didn't rush to leave, but waited outside the police station.

Wait for your goal to appear.

Mt. Green.

Donald stopped him as he walked out of the police station to buy coffee.

"Mr. Grant, what's the matter?"

Mutley was a little surprised, they had just confirmed the transfer of the mission and returned separately, and he didn't know why Donald Grant had come back to him.

"Actually, I want to talk to you about the finger severance case, my teammates can't participate in the case because of their physical condition, but I'm very interested in this kind of special and major case, I read the two documents just now, and the words are all concealed and jumped, I don't think it's a qualified case statement. ”

I used to take the lead in wanting to put down my job and continue my vacation, but now I am interested in this kind of case.

It's that real.

Given Donald's status as a member of the Anomalous Bureau, Mutley did not refuse, and the two sat outside the café to talk.

"I'm not trying to ask you about some inside information, I just want to know, what happened after the culprit was found, and the families of those victims were willing to accept this sentence?"

After all this time, it doesn't make much sense to discuss those details at this time, not to mention that no one can guarantee that the details of Mertley Green's memory are correct.

"A considerable number of people chose to accept it, because it was indeed physical evidence at that time, and the criminal himself confessed to the crime, and the death penalty for him was hanging. ”

"A psychopath who killed their family, and in such a brutal way, evaded the arrest of a large number of police officers for a long time, compared to his status as a mentally ill person, it always sounds like the criminal is more like a high-IQ criminal, doesn't it?"

Donald bluntly admits that it is not an easy thing to be caught after several crimes under the noses of the joint investigation team of the Bureau of Anomalies and the Police.

"No, I personally participated in the final arrest, the prisoner confessed to his crimes, but his words and deeds gave me the feeling of being extremely dull, which of course does not rule out the situation caused by the deterioration of his condition, in fact, the police department also explained it to the outside world, but some of the victims' families obviously could not accept it, it is undeniable that that time was really very difficult, and we had to accept their inquiries and public opinion pressure from the outside world every day. ”

Taking a sip of coffee, Mtley kept glancing at the gate of the police station next to him as he talked about the past.

"At that time, there was also a team of family members of the victims, who claimed to settle the case on their own. ”

"A team of victims' families...... This must be a very troublesome thing for the police department, what kind of people are they?"

Donald felt like he was vaguely grasping the crux of the matter.

"There are all kinds of people, I'm not sure, this team has been around for a while and then disappeared, because there has been no breakthrough, I think it may be their voluntary disbandment, after all, everyone has their own life, and it is not a good idea to bury their future for the sake of a deceased. ”

"Is there anyone who is more impressed? For example, the person who stood in front of the team before negotiating with the police station or carrying out some activities, someone who seemed quite capable...... For example, Officer Keppel, is he part of that team?"

Through a few hints to guide Mertley's memory, Donald has the impression that Anthony has always been a man of great courage.

"Keppel wasn't involved, he's a cop, what can and can't be done, he knows very well, the other person, Dix Ealing's father, he's an old-school soldier, I want to use the word tough guy to describe him, he even made the act of hiding a short knife and entering the police station and trying to kill the murderer with his own hands, Joanna J. Hopkins' husband, the man, had heard that he was a cook, but the first time I saw him, I knew that this was no ordinary man, and I had made eye contact with him several times, and the anger in his eyes was not often revealed, but the occasional appearance sent chills down the spine. ”

With his fingers brushing the bridge of his nose, Mertley had a look of wariness in Donald's eyes as he asked about Keppel.

He turned his body when talking about the two people in the back, and his brow was visibly furrowed.

"Alas..... Do you know what happened to them, like their lives, if they had any other families?"

Donald sighed helplessly, rubbing his fingers against Finger.

"I don't know, but the day Joanna Hopkins was killed, I heard that she was going to see a child in the hospital, and then that child seemed to be ....... Didn't hold it either. ”

"Shit!"

Draining the lemon juice in his hand in one gulp, his whole face wrinkled together with acid, Donald gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

Having narrowly escaped death, Pston felt that he had been miserable enough!

"What?"

Mertley asked, seeing Donald's movements, putting down his coffee cup.

"It's okay, thank you very much for your answer, it's a reward, I hope it's just a private conversation, okay?"

Putting five gold lists on top of each other and pushing it in front of Mt. Mertley, this is already nearly two months of his salary.

"I'm not a person who likes to talk all over the place, and it can be a lock on my mouth. ”

Murtley simply took the gold pound.

Since you're sitting here and telling some information, it's not so strange to be paid for what is happening and to hide what is happening.

If you want to seal people's mouths, there are always only two things that are best to use.

Gold Pounds & Knives!

After Mertley left, Donald remained in his place, flipping through his notes.

Did Anthony really do it?

Suddenly, without saying goodbye, the disappearance of Mathil Tate, the model of the phalanx that appeared at the scene of the kidnapping.

Keppel Leonard's anomaly at the time of today's investigation, Mertley, as his boss, couldn't be more obvious to maintain.

"Anthony, don't do anything stupid......"

Donald wiped his cheek and whispered to himself.
