Mutilated fragments

Riel listened carefully to the old man's speech to Marlon. Sloanmande's appreciation, he enjoyed the affection in the old man's eyes as he spoke, and he nodded in agreement with the old man's words.

"There are not many young people who are eager to study and research like that, where is Mr. Malone now?"

This question made Riel feel the urge to cry, and he didn't want to disappoint the old man when he looked at the old man's appreciative attitude towards Sloanmande, and the enjoyment of meeting a confidant who shared a hobby to discuss something he loved together.

"Yes, he's a good friend of mine, he's a good person, we've been good friends since middle school, we've known each other for decades, he's a reliable person, and now he's ...... He's far away. Riel looked down and shook it.

The old man seemed to see Riel's sadness and sadness, and he nodded silently, "Yes, bless you and your Mr. Marlon, if I can see him again to send me my greetings." As he spoke, he wrapped up the antique clock.

"Thank you." Rare silently expressed his gratitude to the old man, and even more so for his high opinion of Sloanmand, Rare put away the clock and walked out of the watch shop, he had already found a MINISD memory card left by Sloanmand behind the dial.

Riel went back to his room and inserted the MINISD card, which was very well organized, and he clicked on the 'Look at Me First' file, which was the last video file that Sloanmand left for Riel. "Hi Riel, I was surprised to meet in this way, I guess I was already ...... when you saw this video" Sloanmander was silent for a few seconds, and he immediately said with a nonchalant look, "Please don't feel sorry for me, I feel like I'm running out of time, okay man, let's cut to the chase." Sloanmander coughed violently in the video, and when the violent coughing finally stopped, he adjusted his voice, "I've been investigating for about 20 days, and there are indeed many intriguing connections in it as you deduced. ”

Sloanmand has spent 3 days reading the information provided to him by Riel since he received it, based on his years of experience as a private investigator, he feels that there is a danger that Riel did not find, despite Christina's objections, he and Christina both know that their time is limited, he bought himself a high accident insurance when he left, and he wants to use his last value to leave his wife and daughter with food and clothing.

He went to the Rainbow Hotel in Fellinghill City, and chose a room that could be clearly captured by surveillance, obviously this choice was very clear, Rare told him that he thought that the two things were somewhat inevitably linked, Sloanmand was to help Rare find the missing link between the two things, he started with Thomas's case, it was not difficult to find the key person in this case, Sloanmand used a little trick to contact Officer Terry.

Sloanmand learns during the conversation that Terry, as a newcomer to the police world, can easily fall under his control, and Terry proudly recounts his involvement in the case, but his involvement in the case is limited after all, and he has to find Terry's partner, Officer Andy, and learns that Andy has taken a long leave of absence since Andy ended Thomas's case.

He drove to Andy's mother's house in Milin Hill, Noyna and met Andy, through a few days of communication, Andy gradually let go of his resistance to the case, after all, the death of three police officers and Ellroy The matter is not over, no one found the real murderer who killed them but helped Thomas clear the crime, the most unacceptable thing is the family members of those policemen, they even reprimanded Andy as the scum of the police community, but the fact is that no one can change it, he told the process of helping Thomas clear the case.

"Officer Andy, in fact, Thomas was wronged, but why would anyone wronged an ordinary person, is it because he was born in the military?"

"This is something I haven't been able to guess, I have just said it, so the matter has not been rigorously logically inferred and evidence collected, and I am a handyman who was inserted halfway, and no one tracked the whole case, when I took over, I wanted to find out the murder of three police officers, and the motive for Thomas to abscond, it was a mess."

"You've found a lot of suspicions, haven't you?"

"Yes, the biggest suspicion, in addition to the damage to the car, the biggest suspicion is that on the day of Thomas's arrest, the court had prepared his wanted warrant, as if it was waiting for him to abscond, this is not a rumor but someone has personally seen that the wanted warrant appeared on the judge's desk a long time ago, and this was not included in the official report."

"Can you tell me about the judge? And you said that the case was ordered by Hunter himself......"

"Yes, Wheatet. Lohr. Winster, the executive judge of the district court, is a figure with a head and a face. I did say this earlier, and I suspect that Hunter is in league with Wheatnet, and that he's a bastard, a bastard in the truest sense of the word. ”

"So, do the judge and Hunt have a vendetta against Thomas?"

"No, I don't think so, I guess not."

"Is it possible, then, that Wynette and Hunter were both told, or that someone commanded them to do so?"

"I don't know about this, the person who can command the magistrate is not a small role, you know what I mean...... I think it may be some secret hidden in Thomas, after all, he has participated in military operations before, and now the state or some authority wants to shut him up, and the arrest of the suspect with the help of the police has happened before."

Sloanmand did not refute Andy's speculation, he knew that there was no such thing at all, he had also communicated with Riel, thinking that it was the National Intelligence Service or the Ministry of Defense and other high-level authorities in order to conceal previous actions, deliberately let those soldiers who had performed missions disappear to achieve the effect of concealment, but Riel denied that their group had investigated Thomas's background and the source of the case, and it was not ruled out that there was such a possibility but it was very small, and it had nothing to do with those authorities.

"You just said that Thomas was charged with being involved in a robbery and was shot ......"

"No, it's suspected of robbery, there is no evidence to prove that he did it, the surveillance on the road section where the crime occurred that day is bad, and the direct evidence doesn't exist, I suspect that nonsense, someone deliberately erased the surveillance video at that time, and three policemen were killed on the way to escort him to the old town, which was done by Ellroy on Hunt's orders, and El Roy didn't know the arrangement of the bastard Hunter."

"And where did you get Thomas's previous dossier?"

"There is a ...... kept in the police station"

Sloanmander thanked Andy for his help, and finally before leaving, he asked, "Why did Elroy suddenly tell the whole truth?" ”

Andy shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know, maybe my conscience found out, that's it." ”

"So, what do you think of El Roy's death?"

"This ...... It is said that he took the black gold of the gang and his appetite for black gold grew, and finally he ...... "Andy grinned and made a 'gurgle' sound, indicating that he was dead like this, Sloanmander thought that the reason for Elroy's killing was not reasonable, but it was just a coincidence of time and some inappropriate behavior, could it be that Elroy let his people be killed for no reason because of his own arrangement, and his conscience was discovered? He was constantly hanging out with the gangsters, and he couldn't have changed his mind all of a sudden.

Sloanmander still wrote it down in his notebook:

El Roy exposes shady scenes? Conscience? Black Gold killed?

Thomas case file?

Sloanmande was very grateful to Andy for his assistance and returned to Ferlinghill to successfully buy the police in the archive room with money, and he was secretly taken to the evidence and archives room in the basement of the police station, where he looked through Thomas's file, and there was a photo of a bloody T-shirt that caught his attention, marked as evidence on the day of the crime, but the key object was gone, he asked the police officer and did not get a satisfactory answer, and took a secret photo of the remaining file.

Sloanmand jotted it down in his notebook:

Thomas was shot?

Key Evidence - Surveillance, Non-existent......

Whistleblower Death ......

Behind...... Hunter? Wheatet?

Sloanmand returned to the hotel and sorted out all the papers, looking at the papers he had walked into Thomas's dead end, he didn't know where the next path was now, where to go from there, he was vaguely close to something, he hurriedly opened the papers and re-read them, and after a moment he closed his laptop thoughtfully, put his hands on his chest and watched the spider crawl past him.

A parliamentarian? He also wrote down in his notebook that in Rare's profile he had mentioned that a councillor in Fellinghill had commissioned Denkel to investigate, but who was that councillor? Riel didn't know.

He could sense that finding the mysterious councillor would reveal something unknown, Sloanmand was going to follow Hunt around the police station tomorrow, and what kind of connection Hunter and Wynette had with the mysterious councillor, they must have been in frequent contact, although it was more time-consuming but relatively effective.

Sloanmande's 3 days of tracking finally paid off, on a bright noon, Sloanmand was eating tacos while leaning on the car opposite the police station, Hunter came out of the police station and looked around left and right to tidy up his clothes, and walked towards the parking lot, Sloanmand filled the most tacos and started the car and waited for Hunter's car to appear, watching Hunter's BMW 530 stop at a very elegant restaurant, watching Hunter walk in and sit opposite the middle-aged fat man, Sloanmand took a few photos with his camera, When I entered the restaurant, it was easy to learn from the waiter that the fat man was Councilor Morin.

"Maureen. Aite. Matarence was originally an obscure lawyer in a law firm, worked in a local law firm for 15 years, undertook various lawsuits, so he was not famous, so he spent 15 years in a mess, and through his wife's cousin, he got a small opportunity in the House of Representatives, that is, a small position in charge of agriculture, at first Morin was still very radical, but he did not attract the attention of others at all, that is to say, no one paid attention to his existence at all, and in this case he mixed up for another two or three years, However, a few years ago, there was a sudden turning point, and suddenly got the help of nobles, and since then the development of Qingyun can be described as a leap, and no one can say clearly how to get the favor of whom, as if it ...... It seems that good luck is coming one after another, everything is tailor-made for him, and it is a miracle that he has suddenly become a rising star in politics from the original little minion. ”

Riel listened to Sloanmander describe Maureen's legendary life.

"I put all my energy into Morin, I spent a lot of money to find my good buddy, it's a lot of money, you give me working capital is obviously not enough, it doesn't matter, you will receive my bill......"

Sloanmander said emphatically, Riel smiled and thought to himself this shrewd guy, Sloanmander continued, "Hacking his computer, it's definitely worth the money for you, you'll never guess what you're getting, I've copied the file in the 'A-Thomas Case' folder in my memory, and found the footage of Thomas being robbed that day, that is, the deleted street footage, Thomas was literally shot that day, that's the ......." "Sloanmand holds up a photo of Thomas being shot in front of the DV." The guy who shot was vague but recognizable, it was a street thug named Elan the Kid, they were robbing Thomas that day and there was a shooting, I was going to talk to the gangster, and guess what, this guy was killed on the night Thomas absconded, because Elan robbed the other party's gang status, and the other party shot Elan in retaliation, I don't think it's that simple....... ”

"I went to the thug who killed Elan, he didn't know who was Thomas, obviously he was also an incorrigible bastard, but I still believed what he said, it was true that he was really angry that the boss handed over the territory he used to run to a thug for no reason, and just like that, tragedy happened, this may really be a coincidence, I don't think it deserves my sympathy."

Sloanmander took a sip of water and continued.

"Let's get down to business, we found in Morin's computer that the file was sent to a person named Ferina, we don't know who this person is called Ferina, there is no information, and the mailbox is also a leased temporary domain name, which cannot be tracked, not only did we find this, but what is more exciting is that Councillor Morin was also involved in the acquisition of Sennar, I have reason to believe that Morin, Hunter, and Wynette are the people behind Sennar, and that Sennar is a puppet ......"

After Sloanmander coughed violently in the picture, he continued: "Let's talk about Sennar, this name Sennar originally belonged to the manager in charge of loans at the Atlantic Investment Bank, and was the right-hand man of the investment president Joe, who was snobbish and cautious, never willing to take responsibility, and had very poor interpersonal relationships in the bank, since Joe had a car accident, Sennar has failed, and was squeezed out by everyone and no one wants to be with such a person, and finally was found by Morin and became a puppet CEO, A veritable puppet doesn't have any real power, it's just a little money to put up a name, I think this is also very in line with Sennar's character, man, I also checked the source of the funds, and I found that all the funds came from a third-party private equity investment fund......"
