v2 Chapter 137: selfless and selfish

crunch ~ crunch ~

The tires of the vehicle were rolling over the snow, and the Rose Squad arrived outside the villa. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā

As soon as they arrived at the police station in Tallinn this morning, they were told that the house of a well-known government official in the city had been attacked, so that before they could enter the police station, they had already got back into the car and rushed to the crime scene. on site.

Before them, the police station had already dispatched a police team, so that when the Rose Squad arrived, there were already many police officers on the scene.

"This number is too exaggerated, right now there is a rush to handle cases, crowd tactics?"

Donald looked at the crowded police cars parked on both sides of the street, it looked like it was just the perimeter of a mid-sized villa and the number of police officers at the front door could even be described as crowded.

"Exaggerated? No, it may be more exaggerated later, after all, this is the Owen family!"

Susanna's gaze stopped at the emblem on the outer wall of the villa.

"Donald, this is the information of the police station, you can take a look."

Stephanie handed over a folder at the right time, Donald took out the information and browsed it quickly, and he couldn't help but be speechless when he saw it at the end.

The Owen family, the outside world has many titles of this family, and the loyal guardian of Demingham is one of the more widely spread.

This is a special family.

The Demingham Daily conducted an investigation. Over the past few decades, the Owen family has trained more than 30 sheriffs, including direct members of the Owen family and collateral members who are related to the Owen family.

Although a considerable number of people are now retired, their protégés and subordinates have spread all over the police department for several years.

Not to mention those who are still employed.

The current Demingham police chief is Behemo Edwards.

He was a dominant powerhouse with an imperial background specially appointed by the government in order to ensure the prestige of the police station among the heretics after the thunderstorm broke out that year.

It belongs to those who have been transferred from abroad.

Before him, the chief of the Demingham Police Department had always been the head of the Owen family.

Someone once said in private that Behemo Edward relied on his unrivaled strength to command the police station, and no one dared to say "no" to him.

Connery Irving took control of the police department with the prestige and charisma that the Irving family had built in Demingham over the decades, making everyone willing to serve him.

It is impossible to test who the commenter is, but the gap between the two can be seen from this.

Most people think that when Behemo Edward is old, he will no longer have the strength of the dominant level, and his successor will not reach the position of strength that he should have.

Then the position of the police chief is, not surprisingly, the Owen family.

There is no second option!

It is precisely because of this that the attack on the head of the Owen family caused such a huge momentum.

"What are you doing!"

As soon as he crossed the cordon and stepped into the door of the Owen family villa, Donald heard a voice full of energy.

"Who allowed you to put your affairs in my house? This is a serious malfeasance!"

Listen to the meaning in this sentence, is it Connery Owen who reprimanded people?

"What is your accusation, answer me!"

Suddenly someone shouted.

"Guard Demingham!"

"louder!"

"Guard Demingham!!"

"Close the team, go back and perform your duties!"

"Yes, sir!!"

As if they had rehearsed countless conversations, even the police officers who were leaning against the gate subconsciously straightened their bodies and stood with their feet side by side.

The police officers in front began to retreat in large numbers, when Donald saw the man standing in the snow from the gap in the crowd of police officers.

He was wearing his upper body, and a lot of bandages were wrapped around his waist and abdomen. The violent movement when he reprimanded just now seemed to crack the wound. Several doctors and nurses around him were anxiously persuading him, and he just watched the police leave. His villa, got in the car, and returned to his post.

Connery Owen's spine hadn't bent an inch from start to finish.

He's not the chief of the Demingham Police Department, but he can still do in a few words what only a chief can do.

This is the charisma.

The public's eyes are sharp, and the title of Demingham's loyal guardian is not something that the news agency can blow.

Connery Owen is a competent police chief, a point that even Behemo Edwards has emphasized at numerous government meetings and private receptions.

"This is Connery Owen"

Hooper whispered to himself, and Donald heard it, but didn't say much.

In just a few minutes, only a dozen police officers were left in the entire Owen family villa for on-site protection, and Donald and others had the opportunity to approach Connery Owen.

The case was inquired in the study. Connery Owen was sitting on a bench, holding a healing potion in his hand, and someone was treating the wound on his waist.

"At breakfast time, an assassin climbed over the wall of my house, walked through the small garden, broke through the wall and the window to assassinate, he was tall, about 6 feet, medium build, fighting with bare hands, he rushed into the room and killed first. Killed my wife Shirley Owen, then tried to kill me, was intercepted by my SS, and I survived."

As Connery Owen narrated the case, everyone in the Rose Squad had more or less weird expressions on their faces.

For no other reason, Conrad Irving, was too cool to say the least.

When he said the first half of the sentence, Donald thought that he was the only one injured, and no other casualties were caused, so he could be so calm.

As a result, the content of the second half of the sentence surprised Donald and made the rest of the Rose team at a loss.

The death of my wife was just a dry sentence in Connery Owen's mouth: Kill my wife, Shirley Owen, first.

There was no emotional fluctuation during the entire narrative process, as if discussing that his breakfast bread was stepped on by an assassin.

The latter may also have some regrettable emotions.

"Absolutely rational, as the head of the Owen family, you should dedicate everything to the family and Demingham. This is the family motto of the Owen family. It is rumored that every head of the Owen family has received this teaching since childhood. In other words, brainwashing, for him, his wife is just a tool to continue the family blood, just like the knife and fork during the meal. I thought it was a rumor before, but I didn't expect it to be true. It reminded me of the noble house in Demingham. Another comment circulating about Connery Irving: Connery Irving was not a good husband, never was!"

Susannah looked a little disappointed for some reason, perhaps with some resentment that she might not even be aware of.

As a woman, of course it would be uncomfortable to hear that a man despised his wife so much.

As a government official, Connery Irving was selfless and great.

As a husband, Connelly Irving is undoubtedly extremely selfish and callous.

"Don't worry about it for now, let's start the investigation, two by two, Stephanie and Susannah to question, Burns and Boglow to check the scene, Donald and me to check the body."

Their mission is to catch the assassin, not to discuss the private life of an imperial viscount here.

After listening to Horn's assignment, Stephanie glanced at Donald, who was already heading to the room where the corpse was placed.

The two girls are in charge of intelligence gathering, and Stephanie's talent and Susannah's communication skills come in handy.

Burns and Boglo, one is a fighter, the other is a crossbowman, and they are all too familiar with the traces of melee or long-range combat.

Donald himself is a wizard who can detect possible spell fluctuations on the corpse. He is also accompanied by a high-level undead. It is estimated that there is no more right to say about the status of the corpse than her.

The division of labor is clear, the thinking is clear, and the progress of the three parties is also very smooth, but the final result is not satisfactory.

In the corridor of the villa garden, avoiding the people of the Owen family, the Rose team began to discuss and share information within the team.

"Before the assassination, the guards and servants in the villa did not find any abnormality. Before today, no suspicious people appeared around the villa, and no one had ever inquired about the Owen family."

Stephanie leaned against the inner wall of the corridor, her eyes fixed on Finger, who served as a hand warmer in Donald's arms.

Her charm was exercised by both men and women, and spent an hour asking almost all the servants and guards of the Owen family, without asking any useful information.

"The murderer seemed to pass by by chance outside the walls of the Irving family's courtyard. He happened to see the Owens eating and felt that he could kill the people inside. Then, without any preparation, he climbed over the wall, charged, and attacked the target, abruptly. The beginning of the same abrupt end"

This description may be a bit exaggerated, but it also shows that Susannah also did not find that the murderer had any preparations before the assassination.

"The courtyard wall is nearly 10 meters away from where the Owens ate, but there are only 3 footprints in the courtyard. The murderer is very fast. The building materials used for the walls of this villa are not ordinary stone bricks, but in front of him, there are only 3 footprints. It didn't hold up for a second, which shows that the murderer has the means to suddenly form an area-type super shock, which can't help us find the murderer."

This is the information that Pence and Boglow discovered. The murderer's attack process was simple, clean, and without a trace of superfluous behavior.

Fast speed ~lightnovelpub.net~ Strong strength, with the means of area-based attack, these characteristics will be possessed by melee aliens who have reached a certain level of strength.

"There is no clue on the corpse, it is just a blow to death, there is no special means."

Horn said what he wanted to say for Donald. They examined several corpses, including Shirley Owen. They were all ordinary traumatic injuries, such as smashing the head with one punch, breaking the neck bone with one kick, and ruthless and violent attacks. Simply, assassinate with pure physical strength to avoid any exposure of talent.

The murderer seems to be deliberately hiding his methods, and it turns out that he has done so successfully.

To determine the target, what is needed now are characteristics, characteristics that can distinguish the murderer from the ordinary heretic.

"Does the Alien Bureau have tracing powder?"

After a long silence, Donald suddenly turned to ask Horn.

If you really can't think of a way, you can only use the stupidest method.

Donald can only hope that someone in the alien bureau will make enough of the tracer powder
