Chapter 532: Under Investigation
When the time was up, the guards waiting at the doorway walked in with Frank Fussen, and saw Leo standing next to the learning machine, the surrounding room already in its original state.
"How's it going?" asked Frank Forson eagerly as the guards inspected the artifact.
Leo didn't answer, just shook his head.
Seeing Leo's response, Frank Forson didn't show a surprised expression, he knew very well that countless people had tried this thing before Leo, and except for a few who had managed to gain some strange knowledge, everyone else was either crazy or found nothing.
In fact, he was glad in his heart at the moment, because if Leo's situation was different, he would have to deal with a powerful transcendent who had gone mad, and it was a place like the National Bank, no matter what the outcome was, it was his bad luck, who let him make this happen.
The artifact guards on the side quickly completed the artifact inspection, in fact, this inspection was just a routine matter, because various tests had been done before, and the artifact was indestructible, which is why they dared to put Leo and the artifact in a separate room.
After inspecting it, the few of them closed the lid again, took out the key hanging around their necks, locked the lid, and carried the things out without saying a word.
"Let's go!" Frank Forson teased Leo with a slight smug emotion as he walked out, "You now know why I'm willing to trade this qualification, right? ”
Leo, who was walking behind, did not contradict him, and Frank Forson did not get the desired response, and also found it a little bored, and did not say anything more.
The two of them walked out of the basement converted from an entertainment pod in silence, returned to the ground, walked out of the National Bank, and boarded the carriage waiting at the door.
Frank Forson pulled the lasso beside him, and after signaling that the coachman could go, he took out a heavy briefcase from the secret compartment next to his seat, put it in front of Leo, and said: "This is the reward for another deal, and I will give it to you in advance, I hope you can close the case of Deputy Panier as soon as possible." ”
Leo didn't take the briefcase, just looked at Frank Forson calmly.
Frank Fussen frowned and said, "Why do you want to go back?"
Although Frank Forson often gives people the feeling that he seems to be very good at talking, when he is serious, the kind of momentum that belongs to the special director is also naturally radiated.
Leo was not affected by Frank Forson, he remained calm, and said, "I remember that I said that I wanted all the information about the construction of the seminary and the temple of the gods," he said, glancing at the briefcase and saying, "Don't tell me that this briefcase contains all the information." ”
"It's true that it doesn't contain that much information, but it does contain what you need to look at those materials. Frank Forson seemed to have thought of Leo's question, so he quickly replied, "It's all the qualifications you need to check the profile." ”
"Qualification documents?" Leo was stunned, picked up the briefcase, opened it and looked at it, and found that it was full of stamped documents, he took out one at random and looked at it, which roughly meant that Leo was given the right to go to the National Library to access a copy of the document.
Without waiting for Leo to ask, Frank Fossen took the initiative to explain: "Originally, I thought that there were copies of these documents in the Special Bureau, but when I went back to check it, I found that these documents had been taken from the archives of the Special Bureau more than ten years ago, and they were divided into dozens of copies and placed in different departments. ”
Leo couldn't help frowning when he heard the news, and almost thought that Frank Fuson did it on purpose, but quickly thought that the director of the special bureau should not be so boring, and he had nothing to do and cause trouble for him, so he didn't say anything more.
After holding the briefcase in his hand, Leo said to Frank Forson, "Let's go to the Hotel des Nations." ”
Hearing this, Frank Fussen was slightly stunned, and immediately knocked on the wooden board of the carriage behind him, and gave a loud command to the coachman outside, and then asked with a little curiosity: "Is the murderer at the Wanguo Hotel?" It is impossible that all the deliberate people in the Wanguo Hotel have investigated, and none of them meet the characteristics of the murderer. ”
"Have you really checked them all?" Leo asked with a smile, "What about the women? Have the women checked too? What about the courtesans and warblers who have been hanging out at the Hotel des Nations all year round?"
"Woman?" Frank Forson couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and his face quickly showed a contemplative look.
Like most men in the Kingdom of England, Frank Fossen will naturally look down on women like them, so when they find a murder case and the target of the murder is still a powerful man, they subconsciously exclude women and put the object of suspicion on men.
In addition, he knew from Leo that Passa Kaguran was actually an beast soul warrior, so women would not be on his suspicion list, so the investigation in the past few days was all focused on the men who were at the Hotel des Nations at the time.
Now that Leo was alerted, Frank Forson immediately realized that he had made a mistake in his thinking, ignoring such an obvious group of search targets, which made him wonder if he was really old.
Neither of them spoke in the carriage, sitting quietly, their bodies swinging back and forth regularly with the bumps of the carriage.
After a short time, the carriage slowed down and soon stopped, and the main entrance of the Hotel des Nations appeared on the window of the carriage.
Leo didn't say hello to Frank Fowson, and walked out of the carriage and into the very deserted Hotel des Nations, where Frank Fossen also got out of the carriage and quickly followed.
After entering the hall, Leo glanced around, then walked directly to the reception counter in the lobby, and asked the lobby manager, who had nothing to do, "On the day of the murder, who are the courtesans and wandering warblers who are doing business in your hotel, and take out their list." ”
In the face of Leo's request, the lobby manager didn't react for a while, and was stunned on the spot, after all, a stranger suddenly ran over to ask for a list of courtesans, and anyone who encountered this kind of thing would feel a little overwhelmed.
Seeing that the lobby manager was not responding, Leo turned his head and said to Frank Forson, who walked to the side, "Come on!"
"This is my ID, and I hope you will cooperate with our investigation. Frank Forson took out a document and put it on the counter in front of the lobby manager, the document he took out was not a special bureau certificate, in fact, for the vast majority of people in the country, they didn't know that there was a special bureau in the kingdom, and the lobby manager was obviously one of the ordinary people, so Frank Forson's certificate was a senior police officer certificate from the police station.
After seeing this familiar document, the lobby manager couldn't help but sigh, he had seen similar documents dozens of times in the past few days, so he could see at a glance how high the level of the police officer corresponding to this document was.
After answering the word, the lobby manager immediately walked into his office, and after a while he took out a folder and put it on the counter, pushing it down in front of Leo.
As one of the top three high-end hotels in the kingdom's capital, it naturally needs to carefully select some men and women in entertainment to supply to the guests of the hotel, so the warblers and courtesans who pick up the work in the hotel must be investigated by the hotel to confirm that her body and knowledge will not ruin the reputation of the hotel before they are allowed to enter the hotel's bars, entertainment venues and bathrooms and other places to contact the guests of the hotel.
Hundreds of names were recorded in the list provided by the lobby manager, most of whom had been crossed out, and these people had either found a good home and abandoned the profession, or they were lost in this drunken life rotting and dying.
Leo picked up the list and looked at it for a while, then pushed it back to the lobby manager, and instructed, "Mark the names of the people who were in the hotel that night." ”
The lobby manager was naturally very familiar with these names, and quickly drew circles on the list with a pen, and soon all the names were marked.
Leo took it back and looked at it, frowning slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes, because there was no one in the marked list who matched the murderer he had speculated.
Frank Fussen on the side watched Leo's movements, he could see that Leo was looking for the murderer, but he didn't understand what Leo was looking for the murderer, because in his opinion, Leo seemed to have just taken over the case, and he hadn't finished the details of the case, let alone asked him for any information related to the case, etc., Leo should know nothing about this case.
But now, Leo has obviously investigated the case clearly, and even has some speculation about who the murderer is, which makes him feel a little puzzled.
Leo ignored Frank Forson's reaction, he thought back to the information he had gathered and the results he had inferred from the information, and after confirming that there were no mistakes, he thought of another possibility, so he turned to the lobby manager and asked, "Is there a list of all the names recorded?"
"The whole list, of course. The lobby manager said very firmly: "As long as the courtesans are active in the hotel, they must register with me, and they can only enter the hotel with my consent, and the list of these people will be recorded in it, and it will be updated every day......
Just when the lobby manager expressed how high his professionalism was, Leo keenly noticed that the lobby receptionist sitting next to him showed a look of disdain on his face, and seemed to disagree with the lobby manager's words.
"Don't talk yet!" Leo immediately raised his hand to stop the lobby manager's next words, then pointed to the lobby receptionist who showed a disdainful expression just now, and said, "Tell me, in addition to the names on the list, are there any other courtesans who can enter the hotel without this list?"
"I, I don't know anything. The receptionist in the lobby didn't expect to be named suddenly, and his face immediately showed a panicked look, and he shook his head again and again to deny it.
"What do you think of an extra person in the police station's detention cell?" Leo asked, ignoring the receptionist in the lobby and turning to Frank Forson.
Frank Forson said very cooperatively: "No problem, there are a lot of empty rooms in the detention cell, and I believe that he will be willing to say anything after staying overnight." ”
"Wait, wait! I really don't know anything. The receptionist in the lobby was obviously a newcomer with little social experience, and after being slightly intimidated by Frank Fussen, he said anything, "It's the manager! The manager will bring some people into the hotel who are not on the list." ”
"You'd better explain, Mr. Manager. Leo turned his head and looked coldly at the lobby manager and said.
"No, it's absolutely nothing, I ......" Although the lobby manager tried his best to be calm and showed a look of being wronged, some of the other uncontrollable body language on his body had already given a completely different answer.
"Over to you. Leo didn't wait for the lobby manager's words to speak, and said to Frank Forson, who was beside him.
Frank Forson still took two steps forward very cooperatively, and said to the lobby manager with a cold expression: "Come with us honestly! It's better not to let me do it, if that's the case, you are assisting the criminal in committing the crime, and the crime will be different." ”
"Wait a minute, I remember, wait a minute, I remember!" The lobby manager has a wealth of ability to read words and colors, and it is easy to see from the expressions of Frank Fussen and Leo that they are not intimidating, but really want to take him to the police station, so he immediately panicked, and hurriedly said: "There was an unregistered wandering warbler that night, but they left quickly." ”
"How many times has that warbler been here?" asked Leo again.
"The third time, it's a newcomer. The lobby manager hurriedly explained: "I just saw that she was a newcomer, her body was very clean, and her appearance was not bad, so I let her in." He defended himself again: "I'm going to see if she adapts here, and if she adapts to this, I don't mean not to put her on the list." ”
"Does that woman live in the Kraft neighborhood of the Garden District?" asked Leo
"Yes, yes!" the lobby manager nodded hurriedly.
"Write me her address. Leo commanded.
"Yes, yes!" the lobby manager quickly agreed, quickly wrote the address on a sticky note, and handed it to Leo.
Immediately after receiving the note, Leo and Frank Forson left the hotel, boarded the carriage, and drove towards the address written on the note.
After the lobby returned to calm, the lobby manager wiped the sweat on his forehead because of the nervousness just now, and then turned his head and glared viciously at the lobby receptionist who betrayed him, thinking about how to fix him, but then he didn't have the heart to fix him, because he saw that the hotel manager was looking at him coldly, obviously the hotel manager just now saw all the scenes.
