Upon learning that the finger-severing case had progressed, the Investigator Bureau unsurprisingly agreed to Susannah's case transfer application, saying that the investigation team from Wangque Island would come to take over the case immediately.

Originally, they wanted the Rose team to continue to fight, but Susannah said that half of the injured and sick people in their team who had experienced major cases before were unable to participate in the next comprehensive investigation.

The aliens joining the Alien Bureau does not mean that they are completely dedicated to their lives. Both parties are employed, and the Alien Bureau has the right to command and order, but it is not so easy to force people to do thankless things.

Susannah made it clear that they can participate, but it must be calculated according to the merits of special cases.

After internal consideration, the Interrogation Bureau gave a negative response.

They didn't think the Rose Squad could be of much help. The previous request was actually thinking that one more person would be more helpful.

Susannah's request made them dismiss the idea.

So Rose Squad went on vacation.

"Donald, are you not feeling well?"

Stephanie was overjoyed, noticing that Donald, who was holding the paper, looked a little ugly, leaned over and asked softly.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly remembered something... Since you guys are going to go back next, do you have to return this information to the police station? It just so happens that I'm going to buy some juice for Lilo, and I'll help you pay it back."

He folded the paper in his hand and stuffed it into the file bag, adjusting his emotions, Donald got up and left with Lilo.

Both Horn's and Boglo's eyes stopped at his back.

There seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding, and no one said much.

Joanna Hopkins, born in 1890, the third victim of the severed finger case, the body was found badly damaged...

Hopkins, this surname is rare.

The photo on the victim's profile is the photo on the deceased's resident card, with no makeup and no makeup.

Donald hoped he was wrong, but the passive effect of quick thinking made him think of the picture frames he had seen on Anthony's restaurant cabinets for the first time when he saw this photo.

"Sir, do you need anything?"

The waiter in the store stood behind the counter and watched Donald standing outside in a daze, and couldn't help reminding him.

"Make two glasses of lime juice, and choose the most sour one."

After calming down, he put the few pennies left over from the crackers he bought on the table. The waiter took a few sliced ​​limes and put them into a metal cylinder with some round holes at the bottom. The thorny iron pestle kept squeezing the lime and began to squeeze.

This artificial juicing method is relatively rare these days.

"One of yours, one of mine."

"I want it all."

"No, it costs me my money, so if I say one cup per person, it's one cup per person."

Donald leaned his cane to the edge of the bench outside, beckoned to Finger, and let him jump into his arms, holding the lemon juice in one hand and the information on the severed finger case in the other.

It used to be work, now it's a private event.

After carefully reading the contents of the two file bags, the information in them did not give too much description of the details of the case. Most of the time, it was just a simple process and result, and then jumped directly to the step of convicting the criminal.

Including the evidence found at the scene, the criminal's confession when confronted by the police station and the Interrogation Bureau, and the final punishment method.

Unsurprisingly, the death penalty.

In this world, there is no saying that the mentally ill can be exempted from guilt. Sin is sin, and no reason can let a mad person escape humane destruction.

However, does the death of this criminal really mean the end?

Obviously there are still doubts, but he was directly executed on the grounds that sufficient evidence was found. The content of the case report is also unclear.

It is true that since the execution of the death penalty, there has been no case of the finger-cutting case, but this cannot be used as evidence that the case has been completely concluded.

Returning the two document bags to the police station, Donald did not leave in a hurry, but waited outside the police station.

Wait for your target to appear.

Mertley Green.

Donald stopped him as he was walking out of the police station to buy coffee.

"Mr. Grant, what's the matter?"

Mertley was a little surprised. They had just confirmed the transfer of the mission and returned to each other. He didn't know why Donald Grant came back to find him.

"Actually, I want to talk to you about the severed finger case. My teammates are unable to participate in the case because of their physical condition, but I am very interested in this type of special and important case. I have read the two documents just now, between the lines. It's all concealment and jumping, and I don't think that's a qualified case statement."

Before taking the lead in wanting to quit work and continue on vacation, Zhangkou is now interested in this type of case.

It's so real.

In view of Donald's status as a member of the alien bureau, Mertley did not refuse, and the two sat and talked outside the cafe.

"I'm not trying to inquire about some insider information to make it difficult for you. I just want to know what happened after the criminal was found. Are the families of the victims willing to accept this sentence?"

After such a long time, it doesn't make much sense to discuss those details at this time, and no one can guarantee that the details of Mertley Green's memory are correct.

"A considerable number of people chose to accept it, because there was indeed physical evidence at that time, and the criminal himself admitted the crime, and the death penalty for him was hanging."

"A mentally ill person who killed their family and evaded a large number of policemen for a long time in such a cruel way. Compared to his status as a mentally ill person, it always sounds like the criminal is more like a A highly intelligent criminal, isn't it?"

Donald bluntly stated his thoughts. It is not an easy thing to be caught after committing crimes several times under the eyes of the joint detection team of the Discord Bureau and the Police Department.

"No, I personally participated in the final arrest. The prisoner confessed to his criminal behavior, but his words and actions made me feel extremely insensitive. Of course, this does not rule out the deterioration of his condition. The situation, in fact, the police station explained to the outside world, but some family members of the victims obviously could not accept it. It is undeniable that it was a very difficult time during that time, and we had to accept their inquiries and the pressure of public opinion from the outside world every day.”

Taking a sip of coffee, Mertley always glanced at the door of the police station next to him when he talked about the past.

"There was also a team of family members of the victim who claimed to be solving the case themselves at that time."

"The team formed by the victim's family... It must be a very troublesome thing for the police station, what kind of people are they?"

Donald felt vaguely grasping the crux of the matter.

"There are all kinds of people, and I'm not sure. This team has existed for a while and then disappeared. The reason is that there has never been any breakthrough. I think it may be that they disbanded voluntarily. After all, everyone has their own It's not a good idea to live and sacrifice your future for someone who has passed away."

"Are there people who are more impressive? For example, the person who was standing in front of the team before negotiating with the police station or conducting certain activities, someone who seems to be quite capable...for example, Kepper Officer, did he join that team?"

Through some prompts to guide Mertley's memory, in Donald's impression, Anthony has always been a very powerful person.

"Kepel wasn't involved, he's a policeman, he knows what he can do and what he can't do, the other guy, Dix Illing's father, he's an old-school soldier, I want to use the word tough guy To describe him, he even made an act of hiding a short knife and entering the police station, trying to kill the murderer himself, Joanna Hopkins' husband, that man, I heard he was a cook, but I saw it at first sight He knew that this was not an ordinary person, and I had looked at him several times, and the anger in his eyes was not often revealed, but occasionally it caused a chill down the spine."

Fingers crossed the bridge of his nose, and Mertley showed a hint of caution in Donald's eyes when he asked about Kepper's situation.

When talking about the two people behind him, he turned his body, and his brows were clearly wrinkled.

"Hey... Do you know their later circumstances, such as their lives, do they have other family members?"

Donald sighed helplessly, rubbing Fingers with his fingers.

"I don't know very well, but I heard that Joanna Hopkins was going to see the child in the hospital on the day she was killed~lightnovelpub.net~ Later, the child seemed to....was not able to hold on. "

"Shit!"

He drank the lemon juice in his hand in one gulp, and his whole face was wrinkled with sourness. Donald gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice.

After finally escaping from Preston, he felt that he was miserable enough!

"what?"

Seeing Donald's actions, Mertley put down the coffee cup and asked.

"It's okay, thank you very much for your answer, this is a reward, I hope it's just our private conversation, okay?"

Putting the five gold lists together and pushing them in front of Mertley has been his salary for nearly two months.

"I'm not a person who likes to talk nonsense, this will become a lock on my mouth."

Mertley simply took the gold pound over.

Since sitting here and telling some information, but also concealing what happened now, it is not so strange to receive some compensation.

To seal someone's mouth, there have always been only two things that are best used.

Gold pounds and knives!

After Mertley left, Donald remained in his place and opened his notes.

Did Anthony really do it?

Suddenly without saying goodbye, Mathil Tate's disappearance, the phalanx model that appeared at the kidnapping scene.

In today's investigation of the case, Kepel Leonard's abnormality, as his boss, Mertley, can't be more obvious.

"Anthony, don't be stupid..."

Donald wiped his cheek and whispered to himself.
