In the evening, Zuofu came, and the material he brought was only a dozen pages, but the dense handwriting was obviously written by his hand. He should have racked his brains and thought about it while writing, it was very detailed material.
It was recorded that the three gunmen were all workers in a small local tannery. They were usually in the factory, but occasionally they were seen riding horses in the town. Sometimes they got into fights with people in bars, and they were somewhat famous.
The tannery where the three of them work is a family business and one of the few small workshops in this town. There are dozens of workers. The family is called the Hodelman family. It is an ancient and large family in the peninsula with many branches. , the Hodelman family in the small town is one of them.
The most prosperous line of this family has served as the privy steward of the Duke of Haussburg for generations.
Of course, the surname Hodelman is too old, so these so-called Hodelman families are not closely related to each other, and can even be said to be just passers-by.
Lu Ming felt like the surnames in his previous life, such as Zhang and Liu, were said to be from the same ancestor thousands of years ago, but the descendants have no relationship at all.
However, because the Hodelman family is regional and located on the peninsula, it does have an organization similar to a clan association, but it is only used by a few relatively prosperous families for friendship and cooperation.
Rooney, the current owner of the Peninsula Club and Peninsula Hotel, is a distant relative of the Hodelman family in this town. His great-grandfather and the current head of the Hodelman family are cousins. Rooney’s great-grandfather left this town decades ago. , went to the urban area of Houseville to make a living, and actually created a world.
Under the night light, Lu Ming looked through the materials in his hand and pondered some possibilities.
Lu Ming naturally couldn't understand Zuo Fu's original manuscript in Western, so a careful female attendant translated it into Chinese for him.
Someone knocked on the door gently, and the beautiful and beautiful girl in snow-white clothes was Yin Sabel.
"Teacher, what should we do next?" Yin Sabel blinked with her green eyes.
"Do you have any ideas?" Lu Ming smiled.
"With the current signs, the teacher should also suspect that some people from the Hodelman family are involved in this case, right? The Derman family in this small town may be the real executor of this assassination. The Hodelman family is very large. They may be participants in the separatist movement. They assassinated the Duke of Houseburg in order to eliminate the Duke of Houseburg. In the Houseville area, the existence of the Duke of Houseburg is also one of the signs of its close connection with the empire. Many of them The people of Houseville also regard the Duke of Houseburg as the representative of their traditional lords. Without the Duke of Houseburg, the separatist movement in Houseville will lose the most important shackle in the future and become more logical. "
Yin Sabel glanced at Lu Ming and saw that Lu Ming remained calm. She thought for a while and said, "Furthermore, even if my estimate is wrong, we can only follow this clue to check the book." The Hodelman family of the town." After a pause, "Of course, the investigation of Zuofu should also be conducted in secret."
Lu Ming finally nodded, "So, do you have any ideas on how to investigate this most prestigious family in this town?"
Yin Sabel sighed softly: "It's very difficult. Even if the three gunmen really received the order from the Hodelman family, there is no evidence now, unless the person who sent the order admits it. Moreover, it is also very difficult for us. Knowing the procedure for them to send out instructions, which member of this family assigned them?"
Lu Ming nodded, "One more thing, this is still our fixed thinking. From the surface, we believe that the three gunmen are appointed by the factory owner's family, but what if they are not?"
Yin Sabel frowned, "The student believes that it is very likely that the factory owner's family will appoint the three of them, because these three people have a common characteristic, they are all orphans without direct relatives, and, from the assassination process, Look, their use of firearms, their timing, and the accuracy of their marksmanship all show that they have undergone long-term training. Why are these three people willing to work in a leather factory in such a small town?"
"Their gun skills training should be a long-term process, and the training time every day will be very long. They are training three professional killers. Without the boss's accommodation, it would be difficult for the three of them to do their jobs well. ? Moreover, it is strange to be willing to lurk in this factory. If someone trained the three of them to lurk here so that they could be used to assassinate someone in the future and mislead our investigation direction after committing the crime, then we have to investigate. If we go on, we still have to look for clues from the three factory workers and the factory owner."
Lu Ming nodded silently.
"Furthermore, if you weren't a teacher and could accurately determine the origins of the three gunmen, it would be difficult for us to verify their true identities. Therefore, I still prefer that someone did not deliberately let the three gunmen lurk here. They came from Thirteen Four They have been working in this factory since they were young, and they are all orphans. Someone selected them to secretly train as professional killers. This person is most likely to be the management of the factory."
Lu Ming nodded: "You have laid out everything. It seems that the suspicion of the members of the Hodelman family here is getting bigger and bigger."
"The teacher also thinks what I said makes sense." Yin Sabel's green eyes lit up.
"Well, you are very talented at investigating crimes. Being a soldier would be a waste of your talent!" Lu Ming smiled.
"Really?" Yin Sabel's face looked a little happy, "To be honest with you, teacher, my ideal career was to be a police detective. I envy Annie very much. She was a police detective when she was in the north, right? But, my mother, everything has been arranged for me. Moreover, if I have any ideas or want to talk to her about such difficult things, she will definitely not listen to a word. She will always treat me as a child. child."
Lu Ming was startled for a moment. It turned out that as a mother, Chris was not exempt from the customs.
But she is very understanding and tolerant of herself. It seems that those who are not biological and biological are treated differently. In her eyes, her biological daughter will always be a child who needs protection and help planning her life.
"Teacher, are you lying to me? Do you really think what I analyzed makes sense?" Yin Sabel suddenly looked at Lu Ming suspiciously, feeling a little unconfident.
Lu Ming rolled his eyes, "Even if Chris says something wrong, I won't deliberately compliment her, okay?"
Yin Sabel pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard Grandma Li say that you forced my mother to apologize to you."
Lu Ming smiled: "So, why should I tell lies to deceive you? Just to make you happy? Is this necessary?"
Yin Sabel immediately nodded her head, her delicate and pretty face shining with excitement, "Thank you, teacher!" It looked like she almost blurted out the words to thank her father.
Lu Ming was confused. Why did he gradually feel that his stepfather had entered the role?
I also somewhat touched the veins of this beautiful aristocratic girl. In fact, Yin Sabel has a very elegant and gentle character in her heart, but she is very stubborn on the outside. She is typically tough on the outside but soft on the inside, which is exactly the opposite of her mother Christine.
Moreover, she has never seen her father since she was a child. She grew up under the guidance of a strong mother. In fact, deep down, she needs her father's love very much. She also always hopes to have her father's encouragement and guidance. She is only responsible for being a happy child. Cotton jacket.
If Bi Si hadn't met her, she would have been like this when she grew up, right? To some extent, there is some lack of emotion. Children who grow up in single-parent families are really prone to personality problems if we look at it more seriously.
Normal people sometimes have a hard time understanding them.
Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head.
Seeing Yin Sabel's eagerness to try, Lu Ming smiled and said, "I feel like you have some ideas on how to proceed with the investigation. Let's talk about it." Seeing her hesitation, he encouraged her: "I told you, I'm investigating. Come on, you are very talented, you have to have confidence!"
Yin Sabel nodded: "Okay! Teacher, don't scold me if I say something wrong. I think so..." It can be seen that her blue eyes are full of happiness.
