Late at night, a murder occurred.
He died as a viscount.
Early in the morning, I could hear such a news circulating in the streets, but most of it was hearsay. No daily newspaper was willing to report this matter, and it seemed to be related to a high-ranking noble.
This has been the case since ancient times. As long as it has something to do with power, it's not that simple.
The forensic doctor from the Sheriff's Department arrived at the scene. There was nothing on the scene except the empty suitcase. The deceased was lying face down on the table, his throat was cut, and his blood was flowing around him. Of course, the cause of death was also very simple, just simple. Excessive blood loss.
There were no other scars on the body. It seemed that he had not been tortured before his death. It could be seen from various traces that the murderer was very decisive, without any hesitation, and... very professional.
When they saw the face of the deceased clearly, they suddenly panicked. Someone recognized the bloody face at a glance. It was Lord Terry Medwin, Viscount Terry.
The heir to the title of the Medwin family is also one of the nobles of Beir, England, and his status is no lower than that of the Bridget family.
However, the death of such a distinguished person in Bornia would probably arouse the Queen's wrath.
Even though the Sheriff's Department blocked the news in time, the news of the noble's murder spread, and it didn't take long for most of the people in Bornia to know about it.
The death of Terry Medwin caused quite a commotion, among which there were many ordinary people who rejoiced in his misfortune. There was some kind of insurmountable gap between the nobles and the common people. Only death can usher in the equality of all living beings.
When the incident unfolded, Jiang Chenchuan was still sleeping, and the small detective agency did not appear peaceful and peaceful. Locklan said the day before that he had something to do and had to go home, so he did not come to prepare breakfast.
Therefore, no one disturbed me, so I naturally slept until noon.
Only the poor black cat woke up from hunger and barked helplessly by the bed. It didn't wait for Jiang Chenchuan to wake up, so he had no choice but to open the door and find food in the living room.
It was probably about lunch time when Bellito was woken up by a rapid knock on the door. The person who came seemed to be in a hurry, so he made a lot of noise.
"Who?"
Rubbing his hazy sleepy eyes, Bellito opened the door to Hatcher and saw Miss Reina who had been here last night.
Knowing that Reina was Jiang Chenchuan's friend, Bellito was not polite, pointed to the open door of the bedroom and said:
"Uncle Ivel is still sleeping."
"Isn't he awake yet?"
Reina glanced at the clock to confirm that it was time for lunch before walking in.
"Probably...not awake."
Bellito answered honestly.
The black cat jumped up on the dining table, its flying hair floating in the air, and looked at Reina walking into the bedroom with its ghostly eyes.
Of course, the expected scene did not appear. Jiang Chenchuan was woken up when he knocked on the door. At this moment, he was sitting on the bed and asked Reina to wait in the living room first. He had to change clothes.
Rena withdrew sensibly, sat down on the sofa, and just in time to wait, she chatted with Bellito.
"I didn't ask you yesterday, kid, what's your name?"
"Berito, Bellito von Heinrich."
Rena was slightly startled when she heard the answer. She didn't expect that there was such a close relationship between Bellito and Jiang Chenchuan.
"Sister Lena."
While Reina was still thinking, Bellito suddenly spoke up.
"Are you Uncle Ivel's girlfriend?"
The words shocked Reina's heart, and she shook her head in a panic and said:
"Of course...no..."
"Then you came here today to go on a date with Uncle Ivel?"
"of course not!"
Lena quickly denied it.
"Then you...have a new commission?"
Jiang Chenchuan's voice appeared in the living room. He had already changed into formal clothes, wearing a black tie and a neat suit.
When you go out, just add a black windbreaker.
"You can also say that today I just received news that a person died on Costa Street not far from us."
As soon as business was mentioned, the panic and inexplicable shyness just now disappeared, replaced by a serious and serious expression.
"This matter should be handed over to the Sheriff's Department. Although my side job is as a detective, I won't take on cases like this where life is at stake."
While Jiang Chenchuan tidied up the living room, he also touched the black cat watching the show, but it seemed to be in a bad mood. It meowed at Jiang Chenchuan and disappeared. He didn't know where he hid.
"Evel, take a look at this information first..."
Reina handed over the information about the Terry Medwin case. The murder of the noble was a case with extremely bad consequences. 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 Department, but also various forces are taking it seriously and participating in it.
The queen's request is to detect the case and find the murderer in the shortest possible time.
Therefore, as soon as the incident broke out, as the eldest lady, she also felt a little uneasy. The intelligence network of the Black Hat Hotel had been leaked. In addition to information and clues, she also needed someone who could help her solve the case.
Naturally, Reina thought of Jiang Chenchuan.
Jiang Chenchuan lowered his head and looked through the partial summary of the case. The internal report of the Sheriff's Department was also very detailed. The scene was handled very cleanly. It was obvious that the murderer was a veteran, at least, he had had many similar experiences.
"No, I can't accept this request."
Jiang Chenchuan returned the information to Lena, and Berito listened to their conversation. With Jiang Chenchuan around, he did not dare to say anything more.
"What if... it's my personal request?"
Reina raised her head and said slowly.
"I won't answer that either."
Jiang Chenchuan answered quickly.
"I'll add money."
“I can’t even add more money this time!”
Jiang Chenchuan scratched his head.
"Listen, Lena, this is not a simple murder case. I can only deduce a few points based on the clues you provided me. First, the murderer was well prepared. Second, there were many people at the scene when the crime occurred. Two people, there should be three to four people, and third, the other party should have killed someone before, which means that what you are looking for may be a habitual criminal who has never been caught before!"
He said it in one breath, and before Lena could respond, he glanced at Bellito, who was looking for a cat to play with, and leaned closer in a low voice.
"It's very dangerous, Miss Rena. If possible, I advise you not to get involved."
"Evel..."
For some reason, Leina felt that Jiang Chenchuan was a little different from before. It was clearly a well-intentioned advice, but there was also audible concern, but she always felt... something was weird.
"Someone killed the noble!"
"Nobles are only human!"
Jiang Chenchuan raised his head and glanced at Reina.
"I'm sorry, Miss Rena, I'm afraid I...can't help you this time."
