Chapter 66: The Clockwork Orange Case

Brookrent Regional Police Department.

Knock Knock Knock –

There was a knock on the door of the superintendent's office, and Godwin, who had just finished making the call, looked up and said to the door:

"Come in."

The door of the office was opened, and a young female police officer walked in, after coming in, she subconsciously held her breath, the smell of smoke in the room was too strong, and Godwin was holding a cigarette between the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, the cigarette butt in his hand was burning slowly, and a thin white smoke slowly came out, and the smoke was like a soft line flowing slowly, dancing between his fingers.

Smoke curls and the smell of smoke is strong.

"Sir, there's a gentleman looking for you." The female police officer endured the pungent smell of smoke and said quickly and concisely.

As if observing the female police officer's discomfort, Godwin vigorously extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray, then coughed and asked the female police officer:

"What's your name?"

The female police officer looked down at the special passage registration form in her hand, and then replied:

"Hugh Abraham."

Hearing the name, Godwin stood up on the spot, patted the dust off his clothes, and adjusted his tie.

"Where is he now?"

"In Room 1 of the Special Affairs Section, he entered here through special registration." The female police officer looked at Godwin slightly strangely, and then replied to him.

"I know, I'll go over to receive each other in person, you go down first."

"Yes."

After the female officer left, Godwin opened the drawer under the desk and took out the file that he had read countless times, and then he left the office and walked straight to Room 1 of the Special Affairs Division.

He admits that he did lose his temper just now, but it's no wonder that he has been patient for a long time for the recent homicide, for the arrogant and abnormal murder.

Soon, Godwin came to Room 1 of the Special Affairs Department, which usually had intern thaumaturgists from the [Clock Tower] stationed, but recently, all the thaumaturgists have entered a state of silence, so most of the Special Affairs Department instantly became deserted, and when he pushed open the door of the Special Affairs Department, there was only one person in the entire reception room.

A handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes is sitting quietly on the sofa in the reception room, he is wearing a black trench coat, with a pure white lining inside, a black top hat is quietly placed on his right hand, his figure looks very straight and upright, the expression on his face is very kind, and his body reveals a sunny and cheerful atmosphere.

The man in black in front of him was different from the man in black in the past, who liked to wear black formal clothes, and they didn't feel as comfortable as the blonde young man in front of him. Godwin said to himself inwardly.

"You're Mr. Abraham, I'm Godwin, one of the main officers of the Brookrent Regional Police Department." Godwin came to the blonde young man with an enthusiastic face and stretched out his right hand.

Xia Xiu politely stood up and shook hands with the visitor, the person in charge in front of him was filled with a relatively strong smell, a pungent smell mixed with tobacco and chemicals, even if this Godwin has maintained an elegant posture and proper dress, but the smell of tobacco will still bring some discomfort that people can't ignore.

"I remember that Wudu's military spending doesn't seem to be supported by smokers." The blond youth smiled and said to Godwin.

Ge Dewen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the young man in front of him was making fun of the smell of smoke on his body, to be honest, it was indeed a bit rude for him to receive guests with the smell of smoke.

"Ahaha, Wudu is one of the largest tobacco consumers in the central government." Godwin snorted awkwardly.

After the initial chat, Godwin also determined that the blonde young man in front of him belonged to the more open man in black, which made their next communication much more direct.

"I don't think Mr. Abraham is the kind of person who likes to complicate things, so let's get straight to the point, whether you're here to investigate a recent transcendent crime." Godwin said bluntly to the blonde youth.

"Of course." Xia Xiu smiled and nodded.

Xia Xiu came here because he needed to help him find out [anger] through the intelligence system of the police agency.

Adistavad is a perpetual hater of conflict, and violent crime is her only source of pleasure.

The [Angry] slave in the previous life iterated very quickly, and her original master was no longer verifiable, so he needed to rely on the intelligence of the police system, and the only thing he had to do now was to execute her before he could commit a greater atrocity.

After hearing Xia Xiu's affirmation, Ge Dewen directly handed over the file that had been prepared in his hand to the other party, and said to him:

"This is a file of a recent extraordinary crime, and I hope these files can help you."

Xia Xiu naturally took the file submitted by the other party, he smiled and said "thank you" to Ge Dewen, and then opened the file directly in front of him and took out the investigation reports related to [anger].

Establishment of Police District IV in Brooklent.

Time of the case: 1590.4.1.

Location: XX residential area, XX street, Brooklent area

Case Description:

The suspect in this case is Nelly Gregory, 21 years old, unemployed, living in an apartment in the city. According to eyewitness testimony, on the night of the incident, the suspect, Nelly Gregory, attacked a couple from an elderly family near midnight and then invaded a home and attacked four residents of the house.

During the attack, the suspect used a variety of violent methods, including but not limited to punching and kicking, hitting the head with a bottle, and beating with an iron bar, resulting in the tragic death of one of the victims. The victims, aged between 60 and 90, included two men and three women.

Eyewitness testimony said that the suspect had held an eyewitness with a knife in one hand before committing the crime, and that after the assault, he played a piece of classical music before leaving the scene.

After the police made every effort to track down and collect evidence, the suspect was arrested the next day.

After the prisoner was apprehended, we found a hole in his back that resembled a clockwork groove, and when the prisoner was arrested, he was holding a wind-up orange in his hand.

The next day, Nelly Gregory died in the detention chamber.

Surveillance shows that at 2:00 a.m., Nelly Gregory's body suddenly stiffened, his hands and feet trembled wildly, his face was extremely pale, beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, and his eyes looked like they were staring at something, but they were not focused.

His breathing then became more and more difficult, and finally became shallow and silent, like a extinguished candle.

Diagnosis of cause of death: heart valve disease, damage to the heart valves, affecting the normal blood flow of the heart, causing the heart to not work properly.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Indeed, the ability of [A Clockwork Orange] is often controlled by those who die of heart palsy.

After reading the dossier, Xia Xiu said secretly in his heart.

After reading "The Evil Case of Nelly Gregory", Xia Xiu began to check the follow-up file investigations one after another.

Most of them are very bad crime reports, and these criminals are concentrated in these few days, and it looks like they are doing a big bargain on the weekend, and the volume is very large.

Behind each offender is a clockwork-like slot, holding a wind-up orange before being arrested, and always playing a Ninth Symphony when they commit a crime.

Even when robbing a bank, the perpetrator had to carry a playback device capable of playing the Ninth Symphony.

"Is there any information about the offender's earlier contact with other people?" Xia Xiu asked at Ge Dewen.

He wanted to find out who Adistadt's slaves were through contacts one by one.

Ge Dewen saw Xia Xiu's plan, this idea was what they had done before, so he opened his mouth and said to him:

"We have set up a task force before, and in the task force, there are two police officers who are in charge of going out to investigate and found some information about the perpetrators in the course of the investigation, but when they just conveyed the message to the headquarters through the walkie-talkieΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·

When Godwin said this, he subconsciously clenched his fists.

The two officers let out a terrible scream as soon as they had just finished calling for a situation, and they lost contact with headquarters, and by the time the other officers found them, their bodies had been divided into many parts, their heads full of fear and pain hanging from a black spike, and a fire bucket was placed underneath the spike.

At that time, the police officers who saw this scene all vomited, and the death of their companions was so tragic that many witnesses suffered from serious psychological problems because of this incident.

Looking at Ge Dewen, who was biting his lower lip, Xia Xiu naturally understood what was happening.

"Condolences."

"As long as you can bring this damn culprit to justice, the Brookrent Regional Police Department will fully cooperate." Godwin said to the blonde youth in a resolute tone.

Regarding Godwin's performance, Xia Xiu just nodded calmly, he came here to get information about Adistadt.

At this time, Godwin also collected his excitement, and he knew that what he could do now was to provide more information to the blonde young man in front of him.

"At the time of the murder of the two police officers, we had already located the location where they had originally sent the information, and we were able to determine that the murderer's usual range of activities was in this area."

Speaking of this, Godwin's face showed an unwilling look.

"Just as we were about to continue our investigation, [the clock tower] stopped us and disbanded the task force on the spot."

sacrificed two police officers to find a major clue, but was directly stopped by the people of [Clock Tower], how can you call him willingly.

"Where is that area?"

Xia Xiu directly asked the most core question, he needed to delineate Adistadt's range of movement, [Anger] was a pleasure offender, as long as her range of motion was determined, he would be able to squat at the other party.

"Near the Lim Regis School, one of the most prestigious high schools in the Brookrent area and one of the top private high schools in the Wudu area."

The Limregis School has produced many famous politicians, businessmen, scientists, artists, etc.

"We suspect that the perpetrator is a staff member or student of the school." Ge Dewen said affirmatively to Xia Xiu.

"Limuregis Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

Xia Xiu muttered to himself in a low voice, he looked down at a file in his hand, looking at this file, he could understand why Godwin was so sure that the murder was an insider of Limregis.

Archive Prepared April 4, 1590.

Very concise file content, and it was written in the recent past.

"The police station in the fog is much more powerful than [the clock tower]." Xia Xiuyang raised the file paper in his hand and praised Ge Dewen.

Xia Xiu believed that if the police station in the fog capital had a thaumaturgical department independent of the [clock tower], the security environment in the fog capital would rise slowly.

In the face of the arrogant pig teammates of [Clock Tower], no one wants to continue to be bound to them, if the Kingdom of Heaven wants to obtain secular power, it will definitely be the first to bury nails in the Wudu region, and ensure that they are buried one by one.

"You're wrong." Godwin was unusually modest, but the expression on his face was one of approval.

Xia Xiu glanced at Ge Dewen with a smile, this is a wonderful person, but also a capable and responsible person, he picked up the top hat placed on the sofa and bowed to Ge Dewen.

"The information you provide is very important, and it saves me a lot of tedious preliminary work."

Ge Dewen also saluted Xia Xiu back, and he sincerely asked the blond young man:

"Please be sure to give the wicked a true judgment."

The blonde young man put his top hat back on and smiled at Godwin and replied:

"That's what I'm here for."
