Chapter 33: Solving the Case in 33 Minutes
"Hello." Nora greeted him politely.
"Angel light?" Inspector Isaac frowned, "To be honest, our community is messed up enough now, and we don't need some variety actors to come over and make any detective dramas." ”
"We're not here to make a drama." Eleanor spoke up, "We're here to solve the problem of missing people in your community. ”
"Then I'll ask, Your Excellency the Knight of Dawn." Isaac's salutation made Eleanor's face darken, "Do you have a criminal investigation license?" ”
"What?"
"Do you have any relevant work experience? How many criminals have been caught trying to cover up the crime? Inspector Isaac said coldly, "If you are not a professional in this field, how can you be confident that you are here to help us, not to cause trouble for us?" ”
"Huh." Asker, who was at the back, said, "We're really not good at finding people. ”
"But we're good at killing."
"Even if you find the culprit, you will be confident that you can deal with each other?"
"We have guns." Inspector Isaac remained silent.
"Guns are not a panacea." Asker said.
"Sounds like you know something about the murderer?" Inspector Isaac's eyes instantly sharpened.
"If we don't know, how can we rush to meddle in this case without an employment contract?" Asker's rhetoric is also very measured, and it is obviously not the first time he has dealt with someone like the other party.
"Who hired you?" Inspector Isaac asked quickly.
"We are professional mercenaries." Asker calmly refused.
Professional mercenaries, of course, will not easily reveal the identity of their employers.
"And how can we be sure that your real mission is to capture the murderer, not to kill them, but to rescue them?" Inspector Isaac pressed again.
"If that's what you're skeptical, it's simple." Asker said, "Just hire us." ”
"The mercenary group may lie in order to carry out the mission, but it will never betray the mission itself."
Inspector Isaac: ..................
There is nothing wrong with this, after all, business is credit these days, as long as an employment relationship is established, a famous mercenary group like the Azure Sword will at least not destroy its credit for a little money.
However, if their original employer gave them the task of catching the murderer, then the Yus community gave them another fund...... Isn't that stupid?
"You're hired by the big men of the Vennice Council?" Inspector Isaac asked coldly.
"You can guess." Asker didn't show any expression. Whether you guess it right or not, we won't answer.
This guy doesn't get in oil and salt! Isaac was also a little speechless.
After a short period of thought, the detective finally made up his mind.
Hire!
The reason is also very simple, because it is to take the account of the community's public expense, and it is not that it does not cost his money, of course, the more insurance, the better.
After an urgent discussion with the Yus Mansion Committee, Inspector Isaac returned to his office and offered the Teal Sword mercenary group.
75 silver marks.
It's quite small, and it's not a lot of money compared to the tasks that everyone has done before.
However, considering that this was purely free (even if they didn't have the money, everyone still had to find the murderer), Asker finally bargained with the other party and negotiated a price of 80 silver marks.
"Alright, now you're our employer." Asker finally said, "Get all the information related to the disappearance." ”
"These are the messages of the recently disappeared." Three minutes later, Inspector Isaac pulled out a pile of papers from the side room.
"So much?"
"It's actually less." "We've only counted the cases reported by the victims' families, and I'm afraid that's just the tip of the iceberg." ”
"At present, it seems that the victims are mostly young women and children, and the time of the crime is concentrated in the early morning and night."
"There's no way to pinpoint the location of the crime, if we can know where they disappeared, maybe we can find an approximate area......"
"Isn't there a place for the missing to live?" Sheila said suddenly.
"Where do you live?" Inspector Isaac frowned.
"That's right." Sheila said, "The structure of the Yuss community means that you can't have any convenient transportation here. In the case of pure walking, a person's range of motion cannot be too far from the range of his residence. ”
"You wait." Isaac directly pulled out a large three-dimensional map, fixed it on the whiteboard with a tack, and then picked up the file of the missing person, and marked the location of the missing person's family on the map.
After about ten minutes, as the dots on the map became more and more dense, everyone noticed that the locations of these individual points were extremely scattered, and there was no result to be seen.
"Don't divide it like that." "Only the location of the victims who disappeared in the evening is located. ”
"You mean, the victims usually stay home in the evening, and early in the morning, ......" Inspector Isaac is also very sharp-minded.
"There's a high probability they'll go out to buy ingredients and prepare lunch." Sheila nodded, "Therefore, it is possible that victims who originally lived outside the target range could enter the range and disappear. ”
Mi'er also came to help, and after about ten minutes, she and Isaac drew a map again.
This time, the position of the independent points on the map began to shrink noticeably, but still nothing was noticed.
"Your building is three-dimensional." Sheila added, "Divide the locations according to the number of layers, one map for each layer. ”
"Can't you just say the request all at once?" Isaac was a little upset.
"I'm not an inspector." Sheila said.
Inspector Isaac was speechless.
So everyone split the map into layers, and after about ten minutes, there was finally a breakthrough.
Most of the points are located on the 13th floor, and the 12th and 14th floors have only two-thirds of the points. Also, the points on the 13th floor are scattered throughout the floor, while the points on the other floors are concentrated around a certain location......
"This location, it's a staircase passage!" Isaac slammed the whiteboard, "In other words, the murderer lives on the 13th floor, and hunts the victims on the other floors through this staircase!" ”
"We can't say for sure exactly where they live on the 13th floor...... "Sheila's words were interrupted by Isaac before she could finish her sentence:
"But we can cordon off the 13th floor and then go from house to house with this staircase as the center!"
Locking down the floor, is it so rude? The girls were sweating out, and Inspector Isaac was already in action.
"Hollow Woods, go gather your hops! Since the Azure Sword said so, the opponent is definitely not a simple criminal criminal, and he is ready to kill suspicious people at any time! ”
"Levi, take my signed warrant and go to the warehouse to extract weapons and equipment!"
"Dahan, you come with me to the Mansion Committee, I want to apply for a 24-hour emergency fire order!" Gritting his teeth and saying the last sentence, Inspector Isaac's expression turned murderous.
