Chapter 537: Accidental Death

For the next few days, Leo stayed in the room where he could see the perfume shop, keeping an eye on the movements, leaving only twice to go downstairs to buy the day's newspaper.

Although this kind of wait-and-see approach is too clumsy and passive, it is the best way Leo can think of right now.

In the past two days, there has been no difference between the city and the usual on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent, there are many more policemen patrolling the streets, and the agents of the Special Bureau are also haunting the streets from time to time, these agents not only carry some modified tools with extremely high-tech technology, but also send some transcendent agents to follow around, including both family members and other abilities.

Judging from the content of the newspaper, Frank Fowson really failed to persuade successfully, and Hoover Hansen still decided to participate in the opening ceremony of the Naval Museum, but the previous opening time was postponed for a few days due to the impact of the murder at the International Hotel.

However, the opening of the Naval Museum is not the main concern of the citizens of Turin, and even the impasse in the negotiation of the mining rights between the kingdom and Panier is not the main concern of the citizens, and for the citizens of Turin, the last tour of the Kingdom of England that the Spiritual Theater Troupe will take place in five days, is their primary concern.

The Spiritual Theatre Troupe, which has only become popular in recent years, has been touring the world a year ago, and this month it has come to the Kingdom of England to perform two performances in the old and new capitals, and the three performances that have been performed before have been sold, and various theater critics have praised the troupe's repertoire.

The love of the English people for drama is definitely the first in the world, and the people of Durin are the first of the first, in order to be able to let the spiritual drama troupe perform, they even did not hesitate to submit a willing bill to the parliament and the royal family through the way of parliament, asking the parliament and the royal family to use the bill to order the spiritual drama troupe to perform additional performances.

This kind of behavior seems ridiculous in the eyes of people in other countries, but it has become a kind of talk in the Kingdom of England, and because of this action, the Spiritual Theater Troupe, which was supposed to end its tour of the Kingdom of England a few days ago, agreed to perform an additional performance, which was definitely like a festival for the people of Turin.

In the past two days, the main news in the newspapers has been related to the Spiritual Drama Troupe, which has completely stolen the limelight from everything else, including the Navy's long-planned museum launch.

Leo was also curious about the Spiritual Theatre Troupe after reading about it in the newspapers, because when he was in Port Set, Leo had read about the troupe more than once in various newspapers, and most of them were praises for the troupe's performances, and almost everyone who saw the troupe's performances said that they could feel the shock from their hearts.

The spiritual shock obtained from the drama made Leo feel a little curious, because although various immersive films and television have long been mature in the Earth Federation, there has never been a moviegoer who will describe the film they watched as spiritual shock when they are interviewed, and they are more rational analysis from the story structure of the drama itself, plot arrangement, etc., so Leo will be curious about the spiritual shock described in the newspaper, and this curiosity also made him decide to go to the last performance of the Spiritual Theater Troupe.

For the Special Bureau, the Naval Security Department, the police and other departments, although the Spiritual Drama Troupe has stolen the limelight from the Naval Museum, it is not a bad thing, because it will at least make the opening ceremony much less public, so that they can complete on-site security tasks with fewer people, so that more people can be deployed to monitor the surrounding area of the museum's front lawn square, especially the surrounding high-rise buildings with a view of the square.

It's just that they don't know that they are likely to be useless in doing so, because the murderer has far more weapons than they imagined, and the extreme distance they think will not cause any obstacles to the murderer at all.

Leo didn't plan to alert Frank Forson, and he didn't even take the initiative to contact Frank Fuson in the past few days, because if he couldn't find the murderer through this perfume shop, then the ritual assassination was his only chance to capture the murderer, and Hoover Hansen's life was not his concern.

However, just as he waited for two days to begin the museum exhibition ceremony and the killer appeared, a newspaper published a message that disrupted his plans.

"Is Hoover Hansen dead?" saw the front-page headlines in all the newspapers, and Leo sensed that something was strange about it.

I saw that these newspapers without exception wrote the news of Hoover Hansen's death in detail on the front page, and later described the life of Hoover Hansen in a large article, which seemed to summarize the life of this kingdom hero.

After first reading the contents of the newspaper, Leo thought of a trap, a trap prepared by the official Kingdom of England for the murderer.

Leo felt that they were doing this just to take advantage of this sudden accident to disrupt the murderer's position, make her lose her cool mind, and come out to investigate whether Hoover Hansen was dead.

But after carefully reading the newspapers he bought, Leo felt that things might not be as simple as he thought, and Hoover Hansen was probably really dead, because in these newspapers, there were many newspapers run by liberals, and while publishing Hoover Hansen's obituary, they were also criticizing Hoover Hansen's series of massacres in Mozambique, calling him a butcher.

If the official falsification of Hoover Hansen's death had been a trap, it would have been impossible for such newspapers to humiliate the naval heroes they considered to be heroes.

Therefore, the only possibility is that Hoover Hansen really died, but it is unknown whether he died by assassination or because of old age and decay.

However, in Leo's opinion, Hoover Hansen's unnatural death is very likely, because just half a month ago, there was an article about Hoover Hansen participating in the launching ceremony of a new ship in the Navy, and his physical condition at that time was no worse than that of a normal young man.

If Hoover Hansen had been sick recently, the Navy would not have let him come to the museum opening ceremony, so Hoover Hansen's death was sudden and abnormal, so Velon's official will use various means to conceal the truth of his death.

Although Leo was quite sure that his speculation was true, he did not rush to conclusions, so he went downstairs, found a child who was checking his shoes nearby, and asked the child to sign a simple letter to the Special Bureau for five pennies and give it to Frank Foson.

Leo, who returned to the surveillance room, silently waited for Frank Fossen's arrival, he was not worried that the child would not meet Frank Fossen, and now in this case, Frank Fossen was probably also looking for him, and once there was news of him, he would definitely ask about him and come to see him immediately.

As Leo had expected, after he had waited for less than half an hour, a figure had climbed in from the other side of the room towards the window of the dark alley, and after landing on the ground, he walked straight to Leo's side and said, "General Hansen is dead, he was assassinated. ”

"I can guess. Leo nodded, and instead of turning his head to look at Frank Fussen, he asked directly, "Is the wound that caused his fatal injury small, and the body tissue around the wound seems to be burned." ”

"How do you know?" Frank Fussen was stunned and looked at Leo in surprise.

Leo asked curiously, "How long is it?"

"According to the investigation, the shot was fired at the top of a Poseidon church, two kilometers away from Hansen House. Frank Forson quickly replied, but at the same time looked at Leo suspiciously, and said, "Did you already know that the murderer had a weapon that could assassinate the target from a long distance?"

"Yes. Leo honestly admitted.

Frank Forson couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you say it at the time? If you did, General Hansen would ......."

"He's going to die, too. Leo looked at Frank Fortson disdainfully and said, "Do you think those big people in the kingdom would believe that there is such a weapon in the world that can be assassinated from a long distance?"

Frank Forson didn't speak, because it was clear that not to mention the big names in the kingdom, he wouldn't believe that anyone would be able to kill someone from such a distance until the assassin's assassination location was confirmed.

Now not only the police, but also the Special Bureau, the Navy Security Department and other departments have increased the pressure exponentially, which is no longer just to investigate the two cases such as the assassination of Hoover Hansen and the murder of the envoy of Parnell, but also to find out what kind of weapon the murderer used, and seize or destroy this weapon.

Otherwise, none of the high-ranking people in Turin City would feel at ease, because any of them could be the next victim of this weapon.

"What have you been doing these two days? Have you found the whereabouts of the murderer?" Frank Fusson didn't dwell on this issue, but asked Leo while walking to the window and looking out, and when he saw the perfume shop opposite, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Does Gilena's perfume shop have anything to do with this?"

"It's kind of related. Leo nodded, and told Frank Fossen about the smell of perfume he had found at the scene of the murder, the results of his investigation, and his way of waiting for the killer to appear.

After listening, Frank Fussen showed a little disappointment on his face, and said: "It's indeed a good clue, but it's a pity that it's useless now, the murderer assassinated General Hansen at home in advance, and now I'm afraid he has escaped from Turin City, and it is impossible to stay here until the murderer appears." ”

"I don't think so. Leo refuted Frank Fussen's opinion, and said with great confidence: "Actually, I think the murderer should be about to appear!"

"Why?" said Frank Fussen, looking at Leo in bewilderment.

"It's very simple, because everyone else thinks like you that the murderer has escaped from Turin City, so they will inevitably increase their search efforts in the towns around Durin City, and even the harbor cities of the entire kingdom. Leo explained: "So the situation outside will be extremely serious, and there will be cards and searches everywhere, and Durin City will calm down and become the safest place." ”

Frank Fussen was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought, and after a long time nodded and said, "Yes, you have a point. ”

Leo continued: "Actually, we don't know much about the murderer, at most we know that she is a woman, probably a remnant of the ancient clan, and we don't know anything about other details, such as appearance. Now in Dulin City, there are more than 100,000 people from the Mozambian Continent, she doesn't need to do anything at all, as long as she blends into the more than 100,000 people, she won't have any trouble being an ordinary Mozambian. ”

"Yes. Frank Fussen agrees with Leo's statement, and says very seriously: "I'm going to transfer people back......"

"Don't do that. Leo dissuaded: "I think you should not only not be able to transfer people back, but you should increase the search efforts in the surrounding cities, and you should also let their departments cooperate with you to increase the search efforts." ”

"You ......" Frank Forson hesitated for a moment without understanding Leo's intentions, but soon he realized what the benefits of Leo's actions were.

Once Leo's method is followed, then the surrounding areas of Turin City, and even the entire town of the Inge Kingdom except Turin, will be dangerous for the Assassins, and only Durin will be safe, so that Durin will be equivalent to an invisible cage that traps the Assassins, giving them plenty of time to find the murderer.

After listening to Leo's suggestion, Frank Forson did not stop, and immediately rushed back to the headquarters of the Special Bureau, gathered his subordinates, and promulgated the decision to expand the search in the vicinity, and then contacted the police and the navy to cooperate in the search of the surrounding area, and strictly inspect the ships going to sea in the harbor.

After arranging the matter, Frank Forson handed over the matter to his men, and he returned to the hut where Leo was staying, waiting for the killer to emerge on his own.

Although Leo analyzed the murderer's mentality and behavior very well, he was not too sure about it in his own heart, after all, it was also very likely that the murderer would flee immediately after successfully assassinating the target.

Because of one thing they had overlooked before, that is, the murderer did not necessarily commit the crime alone, maybe she had an accomplice or something, and it was impossible for the remnants of the ancient clan to even be the only one who survived.

If someone else helps, then she can think of a way out before the assassination, directly arrange a ship, and after the assassination is successful, she will leave the Kingdom of England by boat, so that all the speculations made by Leo will be in vain.

However, things don't seem to be going in the worst direction, and on the third day after Hoover Hansen's death, the man Leo was waiting for appeared.
