Chapter 271 The Poet Who Killed His Wife
David Derby.
31 years old, male, from Nanwei City.
“A talented poet, at least that’s how the locals praise him. He has always maintained contact with several of the most well-known publishing houses in the country. He has been a popular figure in the eyes of his peers since he was a student. , but later Shen Xin faded out of the public eye after creating it. "
"After he married his wife Asenath White, he spent all his savings to buy the old Kroinshield Manor on the outskirts of the city. It is said that he and his wife had a period of envy. A love story in the school years ”
"The cause of this incident was that a mutual friend of David and his wife Asenas noticed something unusual when they visited the manor. David claimed that his wife was traveling, but this statement has been going on for nearly two months. Some Visitors smelled a terrible stench near the cellar of Kroinshield Manor, and thinking of the couple's not harmonious relationship after marriage, they chose to report the crime."
"Theon was in the cellar of the manor. A rotten remains were found. Whether the body belongs to Asenas needs further identification, but it is almost certain that it is his wife Asenas.”
Colleagues quickly reported the case. The information was relayed to Milo.
Milo looked calmly at the document he had just sorted out in his hand, shook his head and said, "The guy in it doesn't look like a talented poet."
" Maybe he doesn't have any talent for swearing." The colleague spread his hands.
"Where is the reporter?" Milo asked.
"Justin Joffrey." The colleague handed Milo another document and said: "An editor of a publishing house and a classmate of the suspect David, when he was still a student I have already gotten to know the Derby couple, and it can be said that I have witnessed them getting married... Maybe you should listen to what Justin said about this marriage. It's not quite right."
"Well. ." Milo nodded.
Then he asked:
“The attacker?”
"We recovered the bullets from the scene, including the ones you were attacked at the bank. After preliminary comparison, we determined that they came from the same manufacturer and the workmanship was exactly the same. However, the source could not be found. They were not inland. Produced in a factory,” the colleague responded.
"Well...you go ahead and do your work first."
Milo leaned against the wall and fell into deep thought. In addition to David Derby's information, he held in his hand that Information about Grasso, a thief who can become invisible.
What struck him most strangely now was that David Derby and Grasso seemed to have no connection at all. One was an elegant scholar born into an upper-class family, and the other was a pickpocket who wandered the streets. They were completely from two different worlds, but they were attacked by assassins using the same bullets and firearms at almost the same time.
Why is this?
From the perspective of the suspect, Milo could not find any connection between the two cases.
The wife murder case and the bank robbery case are not even incidents of the same nature.
Unless there is some unknown secret that can connect these two people together, Milo can only think about this matter from another angle.
That is, the main targets of the assassins are not Grasso and David Derby, but Old Theon and Milo themselves.
That's a completely different story.
Who dares to target a law enforcement officer like this in an urban area? Moreover, the targets chosen were the only two members of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Chengnan Law Enforcement Station.
……
Oh, I’m wrong, I’m not the only one.
The seven members of the Shadow of Exile were not here, and Milo almost forgot about them. After being attacked, the group of seven immediately chased him away.
However, the assassin's professionalism obviously exceeded their expectations. The 7-man group found no trace of the other party and now moved to the scene of the attack on Old Xion to look for clues.
…
Milo was not sure about the previous two speculations without enough information to support them.
"We have to talk to Grasso again tomorrow."
Milo glanced at Grasso's address information on the document, and then decided to interrogate David Derby first.
After all, this is a murder case on the table.
......
Milo opened the door and walked into the interrogation room.
Although Edward Derby is in his early thirties, as an adult male, he still has a boyish face that makes it easy to guess his age, with blond hair, blue eyes and a child-like fresh complexion. The mustache that was deliberately grown seemed a bit out of style, perhaps to make him more in line with his identity as a poet.
Obviously, this is a pampered man. The lack of exercise in his life has made him appear somewhat plump and unique to teenagers, but he is not as pot-bellied as a precocious middle-aged man.
After Rick sewed up the wound for him, Edward was only wearing a white shirt, but he still insisted on letting the law enforcement officer tie up all his buttons.
“It’s so interesting to be shy because of the exposed fat, but not ashamed at all to have to kill your wife.”
Milo locked the door of the interrogation room and put the Put the information in your hand on the table.
"Mr. Derby, according to the traditional method, my colleagues and I should each play a role. You know the story of white face and red face, but in view of the current situation, I think it is not necessary. Well, let's have a gentle conversation and talk about your wife calmly. If everything goes well, you can leave this humid and terrible room soon."
What surprised Milo was that David Derby actually put on an argumentative attitude:
"I should leave this room. There is no reason for your arrest. What did I commit?"
"Uh, murder, hiding a body." Milo glanced down at the information on the table, and then Said: "As far as I know, my colleagues also found equipment for smoking prohibited substances in your manor, so I have to add this one."
"You don't understand! You don't understand at all. ...I have no choice, this is self-rescue, not murder!" David started to get excited.
Perhaps it was the wound on his abdomen, but his expression became very ferocious and terrifying, the sockets of his eyes were red, and there were bloodshot eyes on them.
He tugged on the chain that fixed the handcuffs on the table. There seemed to be a hint of panic in his excitement. He opened his eyes wide and gritted his teeth and said to Milo:
"If I don't kill her, I will be the one who dies, do you understand?!"
"No, you don't understand, you don't understand at all...Haha...you don't understand at all..."
"Let me out! Let me out!! I want to get out of here!!!"
