254 The outcome of the case
There must be a reason why things go wrong!
An old fritter like Inspector Gates will never make some low-level mistakes and offend some big people who shouldn't be offended.
At first, he naturally regarded Ryan and Duran as Watson Strong's apprentices, but they were inconsequential characters, because Ryan restrained his aura so much, in the eyes of everyone, he was an ordinary teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old, and his words and deeds were also very conformist.
Now, Ryan Shire's temperament is very different than before.
If he was one of the leaves of a tree, completely inconspicuous, now, he is still a leaf, just a golden golden leaf that shines with dazzling light, the same leaf, however, you can recognize it at a glance, and your eyes will be subconsciously attracted to him.
The mustache trembled slightly above his lips, like a leaf swaying in the wind, a wisp of fear swept across Gates's face, his eyes staring at the things in front of him flickered, his pupils subconsciously contracted, his eyes narrowed slightly, staring seriously, trying to distinguish, and verify what he thought one by one.
In front of him, in Ryan's hand, was a police badge.
He didn't take that thing and shake it under the other party's eyelids like the plot of some brain-dead TV series on Aqua Blue Star, but used the tips of his thumb and index finger to stick the upper part of the police emblem and hung in Gates' sight like that, motionless, allowing Gates to distinguish carefully and see clearly.
Police* emblem!
Gates has one in his hand, and the logo on it is different from that of ordinary policemen, because he is a second lieutenant, so there is an iron thorn around the crown on the police * badge, two for the lieutenant and one for the captain, however, the police * badge in front of him has a diamond-like shining star.
Even if this thing is a police badge worn by a police officer at the school level, it is not qualified to be inlaid with it, even if it is just a star, it is the lowest level of existence, but it also represents some mysterious and unpredictable will.
As a police officer for several years, Gates has also dealt with people wearing the same police badge, but on a few occasions, he has never seen the existence of two stars inlaid on it, both of which are one star.
Those guys were expressionless and had no one in their eyes, but even their sub-bureau chiefs, who were captains, could only be treated cautiously and respectfully, like a licking dog, as long as they stood in front of each other, the face of their own head officer, the smile never disappeared on it for more than a minute.
Iris!
From Jörgen Alfonso, Gates knew the name of the department in which such people worked.
When he was promoted to lieutenant, he knew something about these people, and knew that they were specialized in solving certain mysterious incidents, just like the priests of the Templars, who were responsible for protecting them, the general public, from certain mysterious beings, and if such a thing happened, they and the police had to obey the orders and cooperate fully.
Don't?
Inspector Gates has ominous thoughts in his mind.
Could it be that what happened last night involves that, or why is this iris agent here and why is he intervening?
As a member of the Alfonso family, he is naturally not afraid of irises, the problem is that the surname behind Gates is not Alfonso, as the peripheral dogleg of the family, a chess piece that can be discarded at any time, if it is against the people of the iris, most of them will be wiped out by the other party like a small bug.
What can the family do for themselves?
Nothing can be done!
Even if you do something, it doesn't mean anything to yourself!
After confirming that the thing was genuine and not a fake, Gates retreated in his heart, after all, the guy who delivered this task to himself did not say that there would be iris people to intervene, which was equivalent to putting himself together, and now, he can only do things according to the rules, and there is no way to use many means.
Seeing the other man's eyes flickering, Ryan knew that this thing was working.
Although, he was placed in the 16th District Office and served as the deputy district head, Ryan Charles did not lose his position in Iris, but was promoted to a one-star detective according to the normal promotion procedure, and every month, he can still get a salary from Iris, the salary that a normal one-star detective receives.
This salary will remain on the books of the Iris Lans City branch, and whether Ryan will receive it or not is another matter.
The reason for this is naturally that there is a PY transaction.
For Iris, there is a member of the Leslie family among the members, which is naturally very satisfied, and it will help the work of the Iris agency in Reims City, maybe it will come in handy at some point, especially when Iris once helped Ryan Charles when he was in distress, this is a favor, if Ryan Charles rises to prominence in the Leslie family, and even, if he can become a Grand Duke, this investment will be very profitable.
For the Leslie family, this is also an alternative investment.
The big family can be passed on forever, and its own strength is of course the foundation, but the three holes of the cunning rabbit are a strategy that every big family is good at.
The more friends you make, the fewest enemies you make, this is basically the strategy of every big family.
Of course, many times you can't help yourself, you don't want to set up enemies, but the enemy comes uninvited, as long as there are entanglements of interests, this is inevitable, unless they are evenly matched like the Philippe and Alfonso families, and their territories are far apart, otherwise, once they are enemies, they will go all out, and it is better to eradicate the hostile families.
This was the case with wars between families thousands of years ago.
You can only live and die, and only one of the two can live, unless a more powerful force intervenes, such as the Templars, such as the royal family......
Now, it's much better.
Because there are rules and laws, most wars occur between countries, after all, many countries are now unified, the supremacy of imperial power, even if it is not the supremacy of imperial power, there is also a senate represented by the great aristocracy, basically, the internal strife is controlled within a certain scale, and there are few wars of extermination.
In Reims City, there are some noble children among the members of the Iris, some of them have the surname Macron, and the surname of the Speaker of the House of Lords is Macron, but in the Iris there is no surname Leslie, and the surname Alfonso is not allowed, even if there are priests with these two surnames in the Templar, it will never appear in the Iris.
This is because the iris is a direct organ of the royal family.
This is one of the foundations of the Louis family's strength, allowing the children of small nobles to join, allowing the children of court nobles to be the foundation, but they will never allow provincial nobles like Leslie or the big families of those blue-blooded nobles to get involved, of course, many times the rules are just rules, but they may not be enforced.
Especially hundreds of years after the formation of irises, it is almost impossible to be as pure as when they first started.
That's why there is such a PY transaction as it is now.
Even if the people of Iris know that Ryan has the blood of the Leslie family, at this time, they will pretend not to know, and they will keep his position, although, in this life, even if Ryan cultivates to the point of reaching the peak, he can only be a one-star detective, and this position cannot be promoted again.
"This detective, I wonder if I'm qualified to listen?"
Ryan said with a smile.
His tone was flat, not a hint of majesty, nor threatening.
"After all, I was also present at the time and participated in the first aid, I think I am qualified to be a witness, and tell everything I have seen and heard, we are all people in the same department, and it is our duty to help each other, so there is no need for you to thank me, this detective, there is no need for you to thank me......"
As soon as he said this, Inspector Gates nodded busily.
His hair was all brushed back and held in place with oil, revealing a high, broad forehead that was now glistening and a few sweat stains reflecting off the sun.
At this time, Inspector Gates naturally did not continue to ask Watson about what happened last night, because that matter was not something he could participate in, that incident was led by Iris, assisted by Sheriff Trim, and, because the matter involved transcendental, the police station actually did not have files, and all the files were taken by Iris.
Inspector Gates can only ask questions about what happened today.
In other words, whether the dead guy was killed by Watson, or was it accidentally killed by unfavorable treatment, or was he terminally ill and Watson couldn't do anything about it......
Nothing more than these few results.
Initially, the course of the case was controlled by Inspector Gates.
He has human witnesses, a large number of human witnesses, as for physical evidence, this thing can be completely manufactured, so, whatever result he wants is the result, if Watson does not resist, it is like a fish on the knife board can only be slaughtered, if he resists, it is better, it must be afraid of crime and abscond, otherwise, why resist law enforcement?
Now, naturally, it doesn't.
Although, there are still a large number of people who say that Watson Strong is the murderer, and that he poisoned his eldest brother in full view, but compared to Ryan's current testimony, those testimonies can be completely invalidated, and even those guys will be thrown into prison as false accusers.
At the very least, spend some time in the detention center of the 16th district police station in Reims.
Of course, getting in and out of the detention center is just a routine for these guys, even if they don't understand why things are going the way they are, why Inspector Gates doesn't act according to the plan, but none of these guys are stupid, and no one questions them, and they all confess their guilt without saying a word, like a docile old scalper in the field.
So, the matter was settled.
Inspector Gates and those patrol officers left with the group of guys, and also took the body with them by the way, the whole incident was completely responsible for those guys, it was they who wanted to blackmail Dr. Watson, and our wise Inspector Gates saw through everything.
"Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Watson Strong thanked Ryan.
Ryan waved his hand and looked at Watson.
"You're welcome, now, we're a family......"
