Chapter 527: Negotiation

Leo took the document from Frank Forson's hand, looked through it carefully, and found nothing wrong, and signed his name at the bottom of the document.

After handing the document back to Frank Forson, Leo asked, "Can I go now?"

"Of course not. Frank Forson put the document back in his briefcase, and then said very formally: "After all, you are the last non-Panir that Pasa Kagulan came into contact with before his death, and whether you have anything to do with his death or not, you can't leave here for the time being." ”

Leo snorted coldly and said, "So you mean that I am under house arrest here?"

Frank Forson explains: "Of course, it can't be considered house arrest, it can only be said to be protection. ”

Leo smiled and asked, "Protection?" are you sure I need protection. ”

"Of course, of course, you don't need protection, we are protecting the ordinary people of Turin. Frank Forson's face turned serious, and he was heard only to say: "We suspect that the death of Pasa Kaguran has something to do with the ruins that Old Man Rembrandt is now excavating, and Pasa Kagulan is one of the main supporters of Old Man Rembrandt's excavation of the ruins, and they have clashed with many local forces in the Moisan continent over this matter. ”

As he spoke, he paused slightly, and then continued: "After Passa Kaguran came to the kingdom, there have been no accidents for so many days, but when I met you today, there was an accident, and the relationship between you and the old man Rembrandt is extraordinary, so it must be the content of your conversation yesterday that stimulated the murderer and made the murderer make the decision to take the risk of assassinating Passa Kaguran. Can you tell me what you were talking to? ”

"He just told me that he was a student of Old Man Rembrandt, and that he was angry with me, the person Old Man Rembrandt often mentioned, and then I left." ”

"It's that simple?" Frank Forson was stunned, a little unconvinced.

Leo shrugged his shoulders and said disappreciatively, "It's as simple as that, how complicated do you think it should be." ”

Frank Fussen frowned, was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "If you were asked to help investigate this case, how much would you be paid?"

Leo was a little surprised when he heard this, although just now he said that they would pay a lot of money for him to investigate this case, but this was just a casual remark, he didn't think that the kingdom's police department and special bureau would be willing to let an outsider intervene in their case, because in this way, whether the case is solved or not, they are the unlucky ones.

But now Frank Fussen doesn't look like he's joking, he really invited Leo to investigate the case, which makes the cautious and suspicious Leo wonder if there's something wrong with this case.

Therefore, Leo did not offer his price, but asked tentatively: "Why did you, the director of the Special Bureau, invite me, an outsider, to investigate this case? Is this invitation official or your private?"

"It's semi-official. Frank Forson quickly responded, and explained: "This case is not completely in the hands of our Special Bureau, the whole investigation of the case is led by the Royal Police Department, and the department that assists in the investigation of the case is not only the police department itself, but also the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and our Special Bureau, and the Panier side has also sent people to investigate the case together, and the National Assembly and the Royal Family have also sent people as monitors to station in the joint investigation team, so the details of the investigation of this case are not secrets to the outside world at all." ”

Leo said, "Do you suspect someone in the investigation team who has a murderer?"

"There may or may not be. Frank Forson replied cautiously, "There's nothing wrong with being careful!"

Leo thought for a moment and asked, "If I agree to assist in the investigation, what investigative privileges will I receive?"

Frank Fossen shook his head and said, "No, there can't be any privileges, and if you are discovered, I will not even admit to hiring Mr. Leo to investigate this case." ”

Leo didn't agree immediately, but thought very seriously for a while before he said slowly: "My reward is all the relevant materials for the construction of the Turin Seminary, from the campus plan of the seminary, to the drawings of each building, and the reference materials for all the statues on the building, including the Temple of the Gods. ”

Hearing Leo's painting, Frank Fussen couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't think Leo's requirements were particularly demanding, but he felt that Leo's requirements were too simple.

For ordinary people, the construction materials of the Turin Theological Seminary may be very difficult to find, but for the Special Bureau, this is too simple, because when the seminary was built, there were some strange things at the construction site, and the Special Bureau intervened in the investigation, and then the Special Bureau followed up the entire construction process, watching the Turin Theological Seminary be built from a wasteland little by little, and the Special Bureau also backed up a copy of the construction materials of the Turin Theological Seminary, which was stored in the warehouse, and as long as it took a little time, it could be easily found。

"Is there a difficulty?" Leo certainly didn't know that the information he wanted was available in the Special Bureau, so he saw Frank Forson's performance as a dilemma.

"Nothing was difficult. Frank Forson said vaguely, and then said to Leo: "I agreed to your terms, when are you going to get paid?" ”

Leo shook his head and said, "Don't worry, wait until you pay the previous payment." ”

"You can rest assured that once the documents are handed in, the results will be available soon. Frank Fussen stood up with a smile and said, "You stay here at the police headquarters first, and I'll take you there." ”

"Hopefully Mr. Frank will hurry, my patience is not very good. Leo nodded in agreement with Frank Foson's arrangement, but also made a small threat, although he knew that this threat was useless to people like Frank Foson, but when Frank Foson opened the door and was about to walk out, he stopped him again, deliberately revealed a little information, and said, "Mr. Frank, do you know that Passa Kagulan is a beast soul warrior?"

"What?" Frank Forson clearly didn't know about this, with a look of surprise on his face, he stopped, looked at Leo, and said, "There is no mention of this in his profile, it just means that he is an ordinary person." Are you sure?"

Leo did not respond to Frank Fossen's inquiry, but simply leaned back in his chair and smiled.

Frank Forson knew that it would be useless for him to ask, so he left the room full of questions.

Subsequently, a staff member of the police headquarters took Leo to the rest house in the headquarters and settled down, which is a rest house specially prepared for senior officials of the headquarters, and the facilities are naturally not much worse than high-end hotels and inns.

In the room, Leo was lying on a fluffy bed, looking like he was resting and sleeping, but in fact his attention was all on the spirit net, which controlled the spirit net to wrap the entire police headquarters in it.

As an important department of the Inge Kingdom, although it only deals with ordinary people's cases, a large number of devices that can interfere with psionic energy or other special energy are still placed here, and some strange objects containing special energy are placed in several important places.

If it was before, Leo could only be helpless in the face of this situation, but now Leo has some ways to deal with it, although these methods cannot completely erase the effects of those devices, but at least they can allow him to more or less detect the information in those rooms.

Moreover, the agents in those rooms would habitually discuss the case after leaving the room, and these discussions could still provide Leo with enough information even if they were just a few words.

This fragmented information is like a puzzle, gradually laid together, restored into a complete picture, and also allows Leo to truly understand the whole process of the case.

The person who found out what happened to Pasa Kagulan was his servant, and the time was last night, because the Panir people have a habit of eating before going to bed, so when the servant prepared food and brought it to Pasa Kagoolam's room during the night, Pasa Kagoulan's body was found.

At that time, the servant went to inform the people of the Panier Mission, and the mission went to the scene to inspect the situation, identify the body, and determine the identity of the body, and this behavior of the mission also invisibly destroyed some useful traces left at the scene, so that the trace experts at the police headquarters were helpless.

Later, the Kingdom Police, who took over the scene, could only look for clues from the corpse, but the people of the Panier Mission were unwilling to hand over Passa Kagulan's to the Kingdom, so the Kingdom Police could only conduct an examination of the body at the scene.

The autopsy report was supposed to be classified, but a police headquarters clerk in charge of sorting out the case materials, while sorting out the case materials in Bay, when leaving the archives protected by jamming devices, and chatting with colleagues, revealed a lot of hidden information recorded in the files, including the autopsy report of Passa Kaguran.

There are already very superficial autopsy methods in the world of Velon, but they involve religion, cognition and other issues, so that autopsies are still at the level of autopsies on the surface of the body, and autopsies are also available, but few police officers are willing to use them.

The autopsy on Passa Kagulan was also not dissected, and only a few autopsies were done.

In this autopsy report, the focus is on the injuries and cause of death on the body of Pasa Kagulan.

The autopsy believes that there are two injuries that led to Passa Kagulam's death, one is the heart, judging from the wound, someone should have suddenly shot from behind Pasa Kagulan, stabbed very accurately from the back into the heart protected by the chest cavity, and instantly crushed the heart.

The second point is that at the neck of Pasa Kaguran, someone in front of him directly cut off Pasa Kagulam's head with a weapon such as an axe or machete.

Because of these two injuries, the police in charge of the case analyzed some of the scenes at the time of the crime, and believed that there were three people at the scene at that time, one in front and one behind, Pasa Kagulan was in the middle, and the person behind Pasa Kagulan suddenly launched a fatal attack on him, and the person in front of him still cut off the other party's head when the other party was mortally injured in order to ensure that Passa Kagulan would not have any resistance.

Therefore, the police are now deducing that the murderer and Passa Kagulan knew each other and had a close relationship, otherwise Pasa Kagulan would never be so comfortable exposing his back to a stranger, and the surprised expression on Pasa Kagulan's face before his death can also be used to prove the police's speculation.

The police immediately limited the scope of the murderer to members of the mission, and the investigation of Leo was mainly because Leo had contact with Passa Kaguran, and it was just an investigation in passing, and he did not intend to be a suspect.

However, the subsequent investigation seems to have reached a bottleneck, because after talking to the members of the mission one by one, the royal police found that at the time of the inferred crime, all the members of the mission were holding a meeting for the next day's mining rights negotiations, and the deceased did not attend the meeting because he was unwell, which means that the people in the mission did not have time to commit the crime. And none of the servants who followed the mission acted alone or in two, and almost always there were three or four people who could prove the location of the others at the time of the crime.

So now the police have expanded the scope of the killer to include other Paniers in the city, or people who may have been closely related to the deceased.

Some of the findings of this investigation are correct in his opinion, such as the fact that the person who killed Passa Kagulan is an acquaintance, and a very close person, so close that he will not have any defense, and those that make him feel that they have no reference value are a lot of suspicion of other members of the mission, and in Leo's opinion, the mission is perhaps the least worthy of suspicion.

It was mentioned earlier that the reason for killing Passa Kaguran was the ruins that the old man Rembrandt was excavating, and the royal police and the special bureau would get such an inference that there must be a reason, there must be something very serious at the site of the ruins excavated by the old man Rembrandt on the Moisan continent, otherwise they would not have gotten such a cause immediately after the death of Pasa Kaguran, and at the same time, it can be seen that the condition of the old man Rembrandt in the moissanite wasteland is not very good.

However, Leo has reservations about the fact that the old man Rembrandt excavated the ruins as the cause of the murder of Passa Caguran, and although he has not yet begun a formal investigation, he can vaguely sense that the old man and the excavation of the ruins are definitely not the cause of the murder.

The results of the police investigation can provide Leo with too few clues for analysis, and he must go to the scene in person to see the body of Passa Kagulan in person to get more clues he wants to know.

Although he said just now that he would not start investigating this matter until the payment was paid, he knew better that if he couldn't collect the information in person in the first place, after a long time, all the useful information might disappear, so he had to act now and collect the useful information that he could collect first.
