Chapter 129: Handling the case and arresting the murderer
"Vi, did you ask anything?"
By the time Vi came out of prison, Caitlyn had finished her coffee.
Wei shook her head and didn't speak.
"I guess not, it's not early, let's go home and rest." Caitlin heard the bell ringing, and it was time to leave work again, and Jinx waited until tomorrow morning to deal with it, and the first thing to do was to go home and sleep under the covers.
After staying up late for two days in a row, she felt that she couldn't lift her spirits after drinking coffee.
Vi was pushed out of the police station by Caitlin without even taking the gloves, she returned to her small, messy home in the tailor's quarter, put her hands that were caught in the power gloves and soaked them in ice water, washed her face with ice water, and then took out a bottle of shimmer wine, poured it into the glass where the ice cubes were placed, and took a sip of the ice cubes.
She turned on the pipe, and Jagu Mydarda's voice kept coming from inside, asking her to assist his men in carrying things safely from Picheng to Zaun tomorrow night.
Myrdalda is Piltover's most powerful family, and they control the opening and closing of the Sungate Gate with their piston patents, and they control the maritime tax, the most substantial economic lifeline in the city.
Jagu is the current head of Myrdalda's family, and it was he who used his family reference letter to insert Wei'an into the police station.
"It's endless." Wei shook his wine glass, and the colorful liquor seemed to reflect Jia Gu's gray-haired face.
She hated this person, because Jagu actually asked her to assist in smuggling, but there was no way, Wei couldn't be a police officer without him.
The wine glass flickered again, and the fluorescence formed the warm smiling face of the bar owner on the outskirts of the narrow alley.
When Vi was still a gangster, it was the bar owner who persuaded her of dangerous tendencies that could lead to self-destruction, reinforced Vi's code of conduct, taught her how to exercise self-control in battle, and even taught her how to channel her unquenchable anger.
But these are all in the past, Wei blew on the mouth of the bottle, drank the whole bottle of shimmer wine, and then collapsed on the bed with his eyes closed, too lazy to cover the quilt.
The next morning, when Wei arrived at the police station, she saw Caitlyn sitting in the office sulking with a big aunt's leaky expression.
The reason why Caitlin is so angry is that last night, Jinx escaped from prison, and she broke through the prison from the inside with a bomb when she searched her whole body!
Caitlin couldn't figure it out: she had obviously checked her whole body, and even her mouth was pried open, how did Jinx conjure a bomb out of thin air, she didn't even have a ditch!
And Jinx's arms have all been handed over, and the prison was not blasted from the outside, and when you think about it, the suspicious person is only the only one who has touched her yesterday, but how can Wei have a bomb?
I don't even know where Jinx has gone!
With no evidence and no way to speak, Caitlyn stretches off and begins to deal with the last five very strange cases of workshop thefts, all of which have lost a certain part, but which alone seems to be of little use.
Using the report at hand, and after more than half a day's deliberation, Caitlin came to the conclusion that the five thefts seemed to be the work of the same person, a man named Dwaki, who was a Zaun pickpocket who did not know who he worked for.
If you put together all the stolen items from the five workshops, Dwaki seems to be collecting various parts to make a version of the Vishrah Hex vinyl musket.
Caitlin was taken lightly by the conclusions she had reached, and if she didn't have a certain amount of knowledge about Hextech, she would never be able to deduce the motive of the criminal.
But her parents happened to be experts in this area, and under the influence of her parents, Caitlin was also half an expert in this area.
The Vishra Hex Vinyl Musket is a prohibited weapon, and Devaki is supposed to steal a sample and take it to the black workshop in Zaun to copy it in large quantities, and then smuggle it to an area, and the weapons may be smuggled to Noxus or Bilgewater.
If the Noxian invaders used muskets to conquer the city, then the victim countries would jointly condemn the city and resist the city's luxuriant shipping.
Perhaps these weapons were equipped by the pirates of Bilgewater, and there is a good chance that the sea between Leather City and Ionia would be plundered by these pirates.
Whoever it gives it to will damage Piltover's reputation and economic development.
However, in order to build the musket in its entirety, Dwaki needed a core part, and Caitlin set her eyes on her detailed hand-drawn map of Piltover, and locked onto the Murridge workshop, not far from the theater.
With her Hextech rifle on her shoulder, Caitlyn calls her partner, Vi, and the two come to the Murridge Workshop to keep an eye on them.
As the afternoon passed, and as the sun set, Caitlin's suspicions were finally validated and her patience was rewarded.
As city lighting workers lit up the street lamps, Caitlin recognized Dwaki by the reflection in the glass of the coffee shop across the street.
At the moment of eye contact, Dwaki recognized Caitlyn as well, and began to run like a frightened mouse.
She grabbed the Hex Tech rifle, the bullet was loaded, ready to fire at any time, and then decisively rushed into the crowd to chase Dwaki, and saw Caitlyn run away without saying a word, only to find the trace of the criminal she had discovered, so she violently pushed away the pedestrian and quickly followed.
Caitlin kicked her foot and came to a sharp stop at the junction.
The light bulbs in the glass cover of the street lamp overhead emitted a warm and soft light, reflecting the surprised expressions of the pedestrians around them. Her lilac eyes scanned back and forth over each of them, looking for the silhouette of Dwaki.
A young man walked across the street towards her, ruddy and radiant, and he beckoned to Caitlin.
"Are you chasing someone?" He asked. "A guy with a big hat?"
"Yes," Caitlyn said. "Did you see him? Where did he go? β
The young man pointed to the left and said, "Go that way, you can run faster." β
Caitlin followed his gaze and saw the jubilant theater crowd pouring out from the direction of the painter's playground, interspersed with drink vendors and street-gazing street girls.
Vi finally followed, repeating Caitlyn's question.
"I said he would hide in the crowd." After telling Wei, the young man interjected again.
Caitlin glanced at the enthusiastic passer-by in front of herβhis clothes were made of the finest fabrics, and they must have cost a lot, but the cuffs and elbows were worn out, and it seemed that there was no money to repair them.
Her gaze was skeptical, it was the color of last season, and the neckline was a year old.
The young man may have been a rich man before, but now the limelight has been lost.
Vi turned in the direction of the crowd on the left and said, "Go, Catelyn!" If you don't leave, you'll lose it. β
The cobblestone road was slippery from the evening drizzle, and the road was full of footprints, and Caitlyn crouched down on one knee, unconcerned about the dirt on the ground.
She looked at the street from another angle, and from this angle she noticed a string of heavy heel marks on the surface of the cobblestones, which only those who run fast leave such footprints.
However, the footprints did not go to the left, but to the right.
"How much money did Dwaki give you to talk nonsense?" Caitlin confronted the young man in outdated clothes, "If you don't have a sea of gold, you'll lose a lot." β
The young man raised a hand and said proudly, "Actually, it's five pieces." As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and ran, laughing and getting into the crowd.
"The sea of hardware allows you to shield the prisoner? Scold. Caitlyn took one last look at the young man's jubilant back.
"What...?" Before Vi could finish speaking, Caitlyn turned around and ran the other way.
She may have missed a few precious seconds, but she knew exactly where Dwaki was going by now.
