Chapter 193: Drowning
In the concession, where land is expensive, there is a world of difference in price between a villa with a swimming pool and a villa without a swimming pool, Banes is just a military attachΓ©, where did he get so much money to buy this villa? Xiao Zhenlei thought to himself that if it weren't for Barnes to put him to death, he would still make friends with Barnes, and everyone would exchange money together and take what they needed, but it was a pity that Barnes blocked the road at the beginning. β β β Top β Story, www.
Running errands in the swimming pool, this Barnes and his Belgian woman are really avant-garde enough, Xiao Zhenlei retracted his head after seeing it, leaned against the wall and waited calmly for several minutes.
"Oh honey, you're amazing!" After a long time after the calm and calm, the woman said lazily, "No, my body is a little cold, I have to go into the house to rinse and change into clean clothes, my dear, do you want to go with me?" β
Barnes gasped, "Oh, I'm going to swim a little longer, honey, you go up first, I'll be in when I've swam enough, you don't have to worry about me!" β
"Okay!" The Belgian woman agreed, paddled her limbs gracefully towards the edge of the pool, swam to the edge of the pool and went ashore, writhing a white piece along the cobblestone path on the lawn into the bungalow.
After watching the white body disappear, Xiao Zhenlei looked at Barnes in the pool, and Basner was swimming towards the other end of the pool with his back to him.
It's not difficult to kill Banes, only one bullet is enough, but Xiao Zhenlei doesn't want this matter to arouse the suspicion of the patrol room, or if it doesn't arouse suspicion, he can't use a gun, and he wants Barnes to die naturally. Or that the death was unexpected, which is a bit difficult.
Barnes was swimming across the pool. This was an opportunity for Xiao Zhenlei, and he put on a pair of gloves. Hunched over to the pool at a swift and silent pace, he quietly dived under the pool before Barnes swam back, without making any noise or causing large waves.
Barnes was already swimming back, and at that moment a bright light flashed in the sky, followed by a loud thunderclap, followed by a thunderclap and wind. Heavy rain followed, and it fell with a clatter.
Barnes looked up and saw that it was raining so hard that it seemed that he could not continue swimming, and he swam faster towards the shore, but then a dark shadow suddenly flashed under the water, and Barnes felt that his feet were entangled, and a huge force was dragging him deeper into the pool.
He began to panic, and desperately threw off his arms and paddled towards the water, but the force that dragged his feet under the water was enormous. After a few strokes of his hands on the water, the whole person was dragged under the water, and all that was left on the surface of the water was the torrential rain that kept falling.
Under the surface, Xiao Zhenlei dragged Barnes into the depths, and he pressed Banes to the bottom of the pool to prevent him from escaping the surface of the water to breathe. Sensing the imminent death of his life, Barnes resisted with all his strength to escape, but to no avail.
Heavy rain on the water continued. Beneath the surface of the water, death is coming. No one knew what Barnes was thinking now, and he never imagined that someone would sneak into his villa and kill him. He didn't even see the face of his killer clearly, so he pressed to the bottom of the water in a daze, and couldn't break free no matter what.
A few minutes later, Barnes didn't move, he was pressed under the water for too long and his body lost his vitality due to lack of oxygen, Xiao Zhenlei saw that he didn't move, he stretched out his hand on his neck and touched it, there was no pulse, he let go of Barnes, Barnes himself sank to the bottom of the pool, Xiao Zhenlei swam directly from the bottom of the water to the shore, and gently climbed ashore, at this time the rain was very heavy, and the sound of him getting up from the water was masked by the heavy rain, he turned his head to look at the small window of a lit room on the second floor of the western-style building, The shadow of a naked woman on the curtain is constantly rubbing his body, he has no intention of appreciating this wonderful **, hurriedly left the villa, this sudden heavy rain covered up a trace of his coming, in fact, he had already seen that it would rain tonight, so he chose to do it before the rain, with the help of the power of nature to cover up a trace, the gods are difficult to find out the truth.
Women are always troublesome, spending too much time on bathing, makeup, and dressing, but it is said that half an hour has passed since the Belgian woman changed into clean clothes and went downstairs after taking a shower in the bathroom on the second floor, and she didn't see Barnes at this time, she thought that it was raining so heavily outside, and Barnes couldn't stay in the pool all the time, so she searched in the building, calling Banes's name loudly while looking for it, until she searched all the places in the bungalow and still didn't find Barnes.
Something must have happened, right? The Belgian woman panicked, she hurriedly beckoned two maids to look for it together, and she took an umbrella and walked out of the bungalow to the pool to look for it, and called Barnes's name loudly, but Barnes's body sank to the bottom of the deep water of the pool, and the light was too dark at night to see the body of Banes who sank to the bottom of the deep water.
Several people searched inside and outside the villa for more than an hour and still did not see any trace of Barnes, and his clothes, shoes and briefcase were still there, it was impossible to leave the villa and go out, and the Ford car parked in front of the western-style building was still there, and it was impossible for Barnes to leave naked.
After I couldn't find it, a female maid built yì Belgian woman immediately called the police, although the Belgian woman wanted to call the police and let the patrol room send someone to help find it, but her relationship with Barnes was extremely secret, if the outside world knew about Barnes's relationship with her, the headlines of the newspaper tomorrow would expose the scandal between them, which was undoubtedly a disaster for her. Hoping that Barnes was playing a prank on her, she still made a phone call to the consulate, but the person who answered the phone said that Barnes had not returned from his outing, so she had to give up.
On the morning of September 3, the Belgian woman, who had been waiting in the villa all night, picked up the phone again and called the consulate with trepidation. This undoubtedly shows that Barnes is really in trouble.
Just as she was in a daze as she made the call, a scream suddenly came from behind the bungalow. The Belgian woman reflexively got up from the couch and ran to the back door of the house, and just ran out of the back door when she saw a maid running by the pool.
"Ma'am. Something's wrong, there's an accident, sir, sir," the maid cried out at the sight of the Belgian woman, but was a little out of breath because she was so frightened that she couldn't finish the whole story.
The Belgian woman immediately grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, "What's wrong with the sir?" Say it! β
"He's under the pool!" The maid turned sideways to the pool with a pale face.
After daybreak, the light outside was intense, and the water in the pool was clear, so the maid who was cleaning by the pool saw the body of Banes sunk at the bottom of the deep water of the pool. Generally speaking. After the person is drowned, it will sink to the bottom at first, but after a period of time, the body will surface, the time of this surface is uncertain, some will surface after a few minutes, this kind of drowned person still has a great chance of being rescued, but some of the body will not surface until a few days later, and the body will begin to decompose.
When she ran to the edge of the pool and saw the corpse under the water, the Belgian woman sat down on the ground with a blank face, and the maid immediately squatted down to support her. "Madame, ma'am, you must hold on!"
It took a long time for the Belgian woman to come back to her senses with tears streaming down her face. In a deep voice, he said to the maid, "Call the patrol room!" β
Soon, the patrol room arrived at the scene, and when the inspector who led the team found that the drowned person was actually Barnes, his face changed. immediately called the police department, and after receiving the news, Mai Gaoyun, who received the call, couldn't help but secretly curse himself for being so kind of back during this time. As far as things don't go well, there is no clue about the murder of the Qing court official Enahai. If Barnes drowned by himself, it would be nothing, but if he was murdered, then the fun would be great, he told the person in charge of the patrol room at the scene to do a good job of secrecy, and not let any newspaper reporter get the news for an interview, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately called the police inspector Bruce and the consulate, and then drove to the place of the incident.
When McGowan arrived at the scene, the patrols of the North District Patrol House were investigating the scene, and Barnes's body had been recovered and parked on a stretcher next to the swimming pool, and the body was covered with a white cloth.
The site survey equipment of the patrol house in the public concession is very advanced, one patrol house is holding a small flash camera to take pictures at the scene, but the scene has long been destroyed by a Belgian woman and a maid, and several patrols are looking on the lawn, trying to find any useful clues.
After McGoun arrived, the detective in charge of the scene rushed over, McGoun didn't say anything polite to him, and after looking at the body and confirming that it was Barnes, he asked directly: "What is the approximate situation?" Let's talk about the situation first! β
"Okay, sir, please come with me" The inspector agreed and walked to a secluded place, Mai Gaoyun also followed, and the inspector said in a low voice: "You also saw it just now, it is indeed Colonel Barnes, there is no doubt that I have sent someone to investigate before you came, this villa is the property of Colonel Barnes, the hostess in the room is a Belgian woman, after inquiry and investigation, her name is Hereth, no occupation, she came here from Belgium two years ago, I guess it should be Colonel Barnes's secret lover, Of course this is just my guess! According to Hereth and the two maids, shortly after dinner last night, she and Colonel Barnes swam in the pool, and in about half an hour, Hereth went ashore to take a bath, and Colonel Barnes stayed alone in the pool to swim, and when she took a shower and changed her clothes and went downstairs, it was already raining heavily, but she was still because Colonel Barnes had already come out of the pool, and she screamed a few times but there was no response, so she began to look in the house, but she searched every corner of the house and did not find Colonel Barnes, At that time she panicked, so she asked two maids to look for it together, and they also came to the pool to look for it, but according to them, because of the rain at that time, the light was very dark, and nothing was found on the water, but they could not see under the water, and the Belgian woman thought that Colonel Barnes had played a prank on her, and you know that it is normal for lovers to have this kind of play, and they gave up after looking for more than an hour, and they did not sleep all night, It wasn't until this morning that the rain stopped and the maid was cleaning by the pool to find the body of Colonel Barnes who sank to the bottom of the pool, and what we learned was roughly like this, just now I briefly examined the body, the corpse was blue and blue, there were no injuries on the body, the preliminary judgment was suffocation, that is to say, drowning, but I am not sure if it was drowning or not, this requires further autopsy examination! β
Mai Gaoyun took out a cigarette and lit it, took a few puffs and said: "It's okay if it's drowning, it's okay for us, as long as the news is blocked and not known to the outside world, but if it's murdered, we will be in big trouble, and a large number of people in the police department will have to get off the horse."
The detective also looked worried, "Yes, I hope he drowned himself, it's good for everyone!" β
Soon, the inspector general of the police department rushed over, and with him came a representative sent by the consulate, and after the representative sent by the consulate saw the body and confirmed that it was Barnes, he told Bruce that he must find out the truth about the cause of Banes's death, and another point, and the most important point, is to block a qiΔ news, find a way to warn the Belgian woman and her two maids to shut up, and at the same time let the patrol officers involved in the investigation of the scene not leak any news, and whoever leaks the news will be held responsible.
But there is really no way to block the news in this matter, a large number of patrols in and out of this villa, and senior police officers to the scene, have already alarmed the major newspaper reporters with a very sensitive sense of smell, Mai Gaoyun was blocked by a large number of reporters outside the gate before he had time to leave the villa, and fled in a hurry after leaving a sentence without comment, which made the reporters even more suspicious that this time it must be another big news, so they chased after it, and some reporters even secretly bribed the patrols involved in the case to obtain news, that afternoon, The news was reported in the newspapers, and the news of Barnes' death was eventually revealed, and the consulate was furious and demanded that the patrol house immediately determine the cause of Banes's death.
After the body was brought back to the patrol room, the forensic doctor conducted an autopsy on the body, due to the limited scientific and technological conditions at this time, even the forensic doctor did not find any abnormalities in the body, and the patrol room finally confirmed that Barnes drowned by himself, probably due to a long time in the water, heavy rain, and a drop in temperature, causing him to have muscle spasms in the water and drown himself in the swimming pool.
