Chapter 1: The Flame of Hope (1)

In the middle of the night, a murder occurred.

Dead a viscount.

Early in the morning, I could hear such news circulating in the streets and alleys, but most of it was hearsay, and none of the daily newspapers were willing to report on it, which seemed to be related to a high-ranking nobleman.

This has been the case since ancient times, as long as it has something to do with power, it is not so simple.

The forensic doctor from the Public Security Department arrived at the scene, there was nothing but an empty suitcase, the deceased was lying face down on the table, his throat was cut, and his blood was flowing all around, of course, the cause of death was very simple, just a simple blood loss.

There are no other scars on the body, it seems that he was not abused during his lifetime, and it can be seen from the various traces that the murderer acted decisively, without the slightest hesitation, and ...... Very professional.

When they saw the face of the deceased, they immediately panicked, and someone recognized it at a glance from the bloody face, it was Lord Viscount Terry Medwin.

The heir to the title of the Medwin family, and one of the nobles of the British North Mountains, the status is no less than that of the Brittch family.

However, the death of such a noble man in Polnia was feared to arouse the wrath of the Queen.

Even though the Sheriff's Office blocked the news in time, the news of the nobleman's murder spread, and it didn't take long for most of the Polnians to know about it.

The death of Terry Medwin caused a lot of commotion, among which there were many ordinary people who gloated, and there was a certain gap between the nobles and the commoners, and only death could usher in the equality of all beings.

When the incident fermented, Jiang Chenchuan was still sleeping, the small detective agency did not seem peaceful and quiet, and Loqueren said that there was something wrong the day before, and he wanted to go back home, so he didn't come to prepare breakfast.

Therefore, no one disturbed me, and naturally slept until noon.

Only the poor black cat was woken up by hunger, barking beside the bed, and did not wait for Jiang Chenchuan to wake up, so in desperation, he had to open the door by himself and find food in the living room.

It was probably time for lunch, and Berlito was woken up by a sharp knock on the door, and the visitor seemed to be in a hurry, so there was quite a commotion.

"Who?"

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Berlito opened the door with Hacella and saw that it was Miss Rena, who had been there last night.

Knowing that Rena was Jiang Chenchuan's friend, Berlito was not polite, pointed to the open door of the bedroom, and said:

"Uncle Ewell's still sleeping."

"Isn't he awake yet?"

Rena glanced at the clock to make sure it was time for lunch before stepping inside.

"Probably ...... I didn't wake up."

Berlito replied honestly.

The black cat jumped onto the dining table, its hair fluttering in the air, and watched Rena's eyes wander into the bedroom.

Of course, the expected scene did not appear, Jiang Chenchuan was woken up when he knocked on the door, and at this moment he was sitting on the bed, let Rena wait in the living room first, he had to change his clothes

Rena sensibly stepped back and sat down on the couch, just in time to wait for her to make small talk to Bellio.

"I didn't ask yesterday, kid, what's your name?"

"Berito, Berlito von Heinrich."

Rena, who heard the answer, was slightly stunned, but she didn't expect that there was such a kinship between Berlito and Jiang Chenchuan.

"Sister Rena."

While Rena was still thinking, Berlito suddenly spoke.

"Are you Uncle Ewell's girlfriend?"

The words alarmed Rena's heart, and she hurriedly shook her head in a panic and said:

"Of course...... No......

"Didn't you come today to go on a date with Uncle Ewell?"

"Of course not!"

Rena quickly denied it.

"Then you are...... There's a new commission?"

Jiang Chenchuan's voice appeared in the living room, he had already changed into a formal outfit, wearing a black tie, and a flat set

outfit, just add a black trench coat when you go out.

"So to speak, I just got the news today that a man has died on Costa Street, not far from us."

As soon as he mentioned the matter, the panic and inexplicable shyness just now were swept away, and they were replaced by serious and serious expressions.

"This matter should be handed over to the Public Security Department, although my side job is a detective, but this kind of life-threatening case will not be accepted for the time being."

Jiang Chenchuan cleaned up the living room with his hands, and touched the black cat watching the play, but it seemed to be in a bad mood, and ran away after meowing at Jiang Chenchuan, and he didn't know where to hide.

"Ewell, you take a look at this information first......

Rena handed over the information about Terry Medwin's case, the murder of the nobleman was a case with extremely bad effects, and as soon as the incident happened today, she got a secret order through some special channels.

This matter is not only handled by the Public Security Bureau, but also by various forces.

The Queen's request is to solve the case and find the murderer in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, as soon as the incident came out, as the eldest lady, she also felt a little uneasy, the intelligence network of the Black Hat Hotel had been spilled out, in addition to information and clues, she also needed someone who could help her solve the case.

Naturally, Rena thought of Jiang Chenchuan.

Jiang Chenchuan looked down at the part of the case sorted out, the internal report of the Public Security Department was also very detailed, the scene was handled very cleanly, obviously the murderer was a veteran, at least, there were a lot of similar experiences.

"No, I can't take this commission."

Jiang Chenchuan returned the information to Rena, and Berlito listened to their conversation on the side, with Jiang Chenchuan here, he didn't dare to say anything.

"What if...... Is it my personal request?"

Rena looked up and said slowly.

"That's not going to take it."

Jiang Chenchuan Mari replied.

"I'll add money."

"I can't add money this time!"

Jiang Chenchuan scratched his head.

"Listen, Rena, this is not a simple murder case, I can only deduce a few points based on the clues you provided me, first, the murderer came prepared, second, there were more than two people at the scene at the time of the crime, there should be three or four people, and third, the other party should have killed someone, that is, what you are looking for may be a repeat offender who has never been caught so far!"

Speaking in one breath, before Rena could respond, he glanced at Berlito, who was playing with the cat, and whispered closer.

"It's dangerous, Miss Rena, and if you can, I advise you not to get involved."

"Ewell ......"

I don't know why, Rena feels that Jiang Chenchuan is a little different from before, obviously it is well-intentioned advice, and there are worries that can be heard, but I always feel that it is ...... There's something weird about it.

"Someone killed the nobleman!"

"Nobles are just humans!"

Jiang Chenchuan glanced up at Rena.

"I'm sorry, Miss Rena, but I'm afraid I'm ...... this time There's no way to help you."
