Chapter XXXVII
The assassination was premeditated, all the monitoring on the gunman's retreat route was destroyed, and the means were clean and neat, leaving no clues, according to the analysis of criminal investigation experts who inspected the scene, this is either an organized conspiracy inside and outside, or a gang crime carefully prepared by professional killers, assassination activities like this require at least three or more people to coordinate and cooperate to complete, so as to ensure that there is no valuable clue left at the scene, In the end, Vito, an off-site eyewitness, became the sole and primary witness in the case.
The main problem in this is that Seaman died a few seconds before Dupon entered his lounge, and when Dupon entered the room, Seaman had already collapsed in a pool of blood, and Dupon immediately cried for help, and stood still, waiting for the guards to go in, and after checking the room, he came out, and the guards immediately chased in the direction of the passage according to the judgment of the scene, because if there were gunmen, then he could only retreat from the porch, and there was no second way to choose.
Vito's testimony exonerates Dupont, because now that the killer has escaped the scene, the most suspect has become Dupont, because even if he has just entered He-Man's room for only a dozen seconds, who knows what happened in those short ten seconds? After all, killing a person, these hours are enough. Maybe Dupong has no motive, can't find the murder weapon, can't find any suspicion of his crime, but the suspicion on him can't be cleared, because he doesn't have any other way to prove his innocence now, so he is the number one suspect, and when Vito said that he ran into the gunman and shot him, this immediately found a key witness for Dupont's own exoneration.
The guards who were chasing the murderer just now confirmed Vito's description, they did hear and saw the photon beam shot by the photon gun, they chased them out of the porch of the parliament building, but they did not catch up with the murderer, and after meeting the guards on normal patrol duty in the square, they blocked the Jing'an Gate, and screened the identities of everyone in the square, and found no other suspicious characters in the black dress and light gold bow tie described by Vito, and there were no other suspicious characters.
Dupont was obviously frightened, he was slumped on the sofa, his eyes were closed, the muscles on his face were a little twisted, Vito could even hear him gritting his teeth secretly, today was an unlucky day for Dupont, first he was suddenly and inexplicably questioned by the speaker of the state assembly, and then when he went to meet the elder He-Man, He-Man was stabbed to death, is there any motive to blame others? Although he is fine, who can guarantee that the murderer only came to He-Man alone! What was the purpose of the assassins killing He-Man? By whom? The most critical question is, who will benefit? This series of questions is placed in front of everyone, and what is this place, it is the political center of the Donghu city-state, which is full of thoughtful and powerful people, and it is also the highest stage for the competition of political forces of the various factions of the Donghu city-state.
The most angry must be Zhu Tong, who is the speaker of the State Assembly, when he heard the news for the first time, he couldn't believe it at all, and when he staggered to the lounge where He-Man was, he saw He-Man lying in a pool of blood, with a blood hole pierced by a photon beam in his chest, and there was no sign of life. An elder of the Intercontinental Senate, representing the city-state, was assassinated in the state parliament building, the political center of the city-state, which is extremely ironic, and it is also a slap in the face to Zhu Tong, because he is not only the speaker of the state assembly, he is also the top manager of the parliament building, and he has an unshirkable responsibility.
"Close the Jing'an Gate, block the square, all the personnel in the building must be verified and screened, and those who are not clearly identified are prohibited from leaving; In view of the fact that Director Dupont was a party to the case, in the spirit of avoiding suspicion, he could not direct the investigation of the case, and ordered the police headquarters to send criminal investigation experts to investigate the case; The matter is too big for me to be arbitrary, so I should immediately send someone to inform Senator Sergei and ask him to report the matter to the Intercontinental Senate, and request the Intercontinental City-State to send an investigation team to assist in investigating the case, find out the mastermind behind it, and restore the truth, so as to reveal the incident to the world. ”
"Jian Fan, immediately call Lao Jiu and ask him to intervene in the assassination case of He-Man, he is the head of the criminal investigation team, responsible for the investigation of the case, all the evidence must be gathered in his hands, and after it is confirmed, it can be submitted to the prosecution and the court;"
"Yes, I'll inform Lao Jiu immediately."
"Lennon, you are a security expert, and you must have your own analysis of the links in the case, so you also join the task force to supervise the case, and no one is allowed to take this opportunity to make a big fuss in it;"
"Yes, Chair, I know what I have to do." Lennon's face was gloomy, and a raging anger burned in his eyes, and he was also very unhappy recently, from the attack on Dupon in the observation room of the bald Cassie's prison, to the attack of Zhu Tong by Zhu Tong at Heman's reception banquet today, and then to the assassination of Heman as the first suspect at this time, it was all related to his work, after all, he was the captain of Dupont's guard, so he was holding his stomach angry.
Du Peng's gaze turned to Vito's body again, and said solemnly: "Vito, I may be in trouble now, because there are no other witnesses, after I entered the room, Seaman was lying on the ground, with a thumb-thick hole in his chest, and the human eye was already out of breath, I realized at that time that the assassin chose to do it at this time, just to cause trouble and push everything on my head, and now no one can exonerate me, the only way is to catch the murderer, and you are the only person who has seen him at the scene, so Vito." , I have ordered the headquarters to send a criminal investigation sketch expert, you have to try to find a way to recall the person's body and appearance, tell him everything you remember, we have to use the portrait you painted to arrest the murderer, the more detailed you describe, the greater the possibility of catching the murderer, there have been cases of catching the murderer directly with the criminal investigation sketch portrait, everything depends on you, please. ”
At this time, Du Pong knew very well that all the clues to solve the case were now on the entourage of the synthetic biology people he had newly recruited, and he was now eager to clear his suspicions, the sooner this kind of thing was, the better, because he was the third most powerful political figure in the Donghu city-state, and the longer it dragged on, the more rumors would be, and in the end, he would be discredited in the eyes of others, and his political image would be devastated, and finally he would completely collapse in the hearts of the public and be irretrievable.
