Chapter 116: A New Star

"The murderer is you!"

The inspector held out his finger and pointed at a lady with a surprised and bewildered face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Are you kidding, sir. She was the wife of the victim, so why did she kill her husband?"

Catherine, the policewoman, said to the detective, looking suspicious.

"Don't be deceived by illusions. It's a shame that you're still a police officer, so why don't you have a little suspicion. ”

Mr. Inspector seems to be very unhappy with this female subordinate.

Catherine pouted, her eyes full of resentment as she was reprimanded. But she had to take the detective's word for it. Since becoming a subordinate of the detective, she has never seen the chief handle a single case wrong.

"Even if you are a close couple, some will have different dreams in the same bed. ”

Without waiting for the panicked lady to explain, the detective spoke again.

"It's true that the house is set up everywhere to look like a burglary. It does mislead the direction of the investigation. But I knew that this burglar did not exist at all. ”

Imaginary people?Catherine opened her mouth in surprise.

"According to the testimony of the lady. A robber entered the house through a window and tied the man to a chair and demanded a place to store his belongings. After looting all the belongings, he killed the man with a knife and fled. And she herself hid under the bed in the attic, and she didn't dare to come out.

As the first discoverer of the case, and as the hostess of this house, her words will definitely be used as a criterion. With preconceived ideas, investigators naturally did not suspect her.

However, I found a very interesting phenomenon. That is, while the money in the safe has been stolen, the rest of the place has been turned into a mess. But the lady's jewelry was not lost in the slightest. Look at her earrings, are they different from the last time we came to collect evidence. ”

Catherine looked at Madame. She was found wearing round gold earrings on her ears. As for what earrings the other party wore last time I came, I don't remember it at all.

Just as the woman was about to speak, she was interrupted by the detective.

"Don't tell me it's your new earrings in the last two days, I've looked into all the jewelry stores in the neighborhood and you haven't visited any of them. Your jewelry wasn't stolen at all. It would be a big mistake for a thief to miss these things, knowing that some jewelry is worth far more than the bills.

That's why I judged that there were no robbers at all. To confirm my suspicions, I also had the officers carefully clear the ground and collect some hair. You must know that people are very excited when they are robbed, and they will not leave no hair. In the end, we found that there was no hair other than the hair of your couple and the investigators. ”

Catherine was completely stunned. She had no idea that the chief had done so much without her knowledge. And this is clearly a sign of distrust of her.

"This proves that you are lying! I'm afraid that this lady had already cleaned up the items that were not in her favor before the investigators arrived, and was waiting for the stupid police to arrive. ”

The detective mocked the woman in front of him.

“...... Mr. Inspector, I don't accept what you're saying at all. My husband and I are so affectionate, how could I kill him? ”

Seeing that her conspiracy was exposed, the lady hurriedly avoided answering the detective's question head-on and played the emotional card.

Seeing that the woman was still not giving up in the face of the evidence, the detective continued: "Madam, did you have a good time on the Gold Coast two days ago?"

When the lady heard this, her face turned pale.

The Gold Coast is the premier casino near Port Pelos. The people of Pelos know that it's a good place to burn money.

"You have a gambling addiction that has led to a lot of debt in your family. Your husband probably came up with the idea of a fictitious robber to protect the last bit of property in the family to escape from debt collectors. But he didn't expect you to actually kill him after tying him up......

That way, you can take the money you have left over from your family and gamble a few more times. Ma'am, am I right?"

Before the Inspector could finish speaking, the lady took a dagger from her bosom and stabbed her in the heart.

Before the Inspector could speak, Catherine had already kicked the dagger away.

"I know you don't want to live because you don't have the money to gamble anymore. But your sins of murder need to be paid for in prison. ”

The detective dropped the sentence and let his officers pick up the woman. He walked away without looking back.

Another case was satisfactorily resolved.

"What's the spirit, it's not that I kicked the dagger away. ”

Catherine's thoughts came from behind. The detective didn't pay any attention, but listened to the footsteps behind him become more and more urgent, and followed him.

For his stunned subordinates, he won't have a good face. Even if the other party is a beautiful woman.

That's right, this inspector is none other than Eric.

It had been two months since he had arrived at Pelos.

Upon returning to Pylos, Papitt shoves Eric into the police station and makes him a detective. You must know that in addition to the commissioner, there were only three detectives in the police station before.

And a foreigner became a detective as soon as he came. Although the Pelos were not conservative, they couldn't help but cast a disdainful glance at the outsider.

As a detective, you have to have an assistant. So the police station arranged for Eric a rookie female police officer as an assistant.

But this beauty is almost not good, not only is her marksmanship a mess, but even the logical thinking skills necessary to be a police detective are very poor. There is only something commendable in terms of physical skills. Eric even suspected that he had been sent here on purpose to cause trouble.

Obviously, this is proof that he has received the exclusion of others. But then, Eric's performance surprised everyone.

In two months, he cracked a total of 30 cases. On average, one piece is one every two days. There were eight homicides, six thefts, five robberies, three disappearances, and even eight old cases. You know, this kind of clue is missing, and the old case is the most difficult.

Incidentally, Eric didn't use the MONOCULUS at all when solving these cases. He thinks that he relied too much on MONOCULUS some time ago and needs to focus on honing his skills as a police detective.

Now, no one questioned the strength of the new detective. The officers also respected Eric, and their colleagues were happy to have added a capable person to the police station.

Guys with real materials will be welcomed wherever they go. They all affectionately refer to him as the "rising star" of the Pelos Police Station.

And what makes Eric work so hard is Papitt's commitment.

Long ago, Eric had expressed his desire to meet the gun god Colt. Surprisingly, Papitt didn't immediately agree.

"What is the purpose of your meeting with the teacher, to learn two-handed pistols?"

Padit was wary.

"Nothing, just wanting to see the legendary spear god with my own eyes. Of course, it would be better to see him show his hand. Eric replied easily.

"Good. After you've solved a hundred cases, I'll take you to meet him. ”

Papi made a promise.
