Chapter 68 Dispute
Public Security Station, Appraisal Office, Sufina just arrived and saw many people cleaning up things like metal and charcoal fragments. Hubble sees Sofina and brings her in.
Sofina said: "I know the matter, how is the situation?"
Hubble said: "Additional manpower has been sent to each city gate, and patrols are also searching the city. The Sheriff's Department has issued a reward for anyone who provides clues. The arrested people are now waiting for experts who are proficient in puppet machinery to identify the fragments. "
The parts of several large tables have been laid out. After a while, a carriage came outside the door of the police station. Hale Bess, the top official of the Imperial City Public Security Department, immediately greeted him: "Mr. Jixi."
Two people got out of the carriage, a woman wearing a black nightgown with her thighs exposed, and a very strong man. Hale Bess held the strong man's hand tightly: "I am Hale Bess, the person in charge here. It's great that you can come here late at night despite your busy schedule. Hey, you..."
The tired-looking woman next to her yawned, clapped her mouth, glanced at Bess next to her, and said expressionlessly: "I am Mr. Jixi."
"Uh..." Bess felt embarrassed and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Jixi."
Mr. Jixi ignored him and walked straight up the steps: "Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. . I still want to go home and sleep.”
The security officers and others watched Mr. Jixi walk into the police station, talking and whispering.
Da Funk whispered to the people around him: "This expert is really exaggerating. A woman had to call her sir and came here wearing pajamas."
"Who says it's not the case."
Someone Expressing doubts, he whispered: "Can this woman do it? Is she really an expert like this?"
Mr. Jixi looks very young, in his thirties, wearing high-quality, high-end black clothes Long nightgown. She didn't even wear a bra. She wore her nightgown like a windbreaker, with no buttons and only a belt. Her thighs were bare and she wore a pair of very narrow briefs.
When he arrived at the appraisal office, Bess asked curiously: "Mr. Jixi, who is this person next to you?"
"It's a puppet I made, and I call it Big Dog." Mr. Jixi didn't want to deal with such a scene. He gave a brief explanation and began to check the parts on the table.
People who originally doubted Mr. Jixi’s identity as an expert were secretly surprised. No one could tell that the 'bald man' who was flipping through parts in front of them was actually an artificial puppet!
Some people present couldn't help but laugh, while others tried hard to hold it in. Bess wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh. He glared at his subordinates fiercely and ordered: "Don't stay here anymore. Go outside and check the residents at the place where the incident happened to see if there are any clues."
No. How long did it take Mr. Jixi to finish the appraisal? He pointed at the table and said: "One or two styles." There are 2 dog puppets, 2 modified 48-type puppets, 3 Zero-4 type beheading puppets, and 1 Zero-Jiu type self-destruction puppet. The most well-preserved one is this, 1 75-type cannon-shooting puppet."< br>
“Can you see anything?” Bess asked, adjusting his leather windbreaker.
Mr. Jixi washed his hands, dried them with a white handkerchief and said: "They are all general-purpose puppets, with some improvements in details, but the essence has not changed. Although they are popular puppet styles in the eastern part of the mainland, they have no reference. This kind of thing can be bought everywhere in the market, and it can be made in many small workshops and even by private craftsmen. From the remaining parts, it can be seen that the craftsmanship of these puppets is of excellent quality, which is worth noting. "< br>
Bess was puzzled: "How do you say that?"
Mr. Jixi crossed his chest with his left hand and cupped his chin with his right hand and said: "The puppet master's puppets are very expensive. In the Puppet Professional League, puppets are The quality grading standards are divided into: ordinary, enhanced, excellent, fine work, flawless... and other qualities. This kind of general-purpose puppet is used as a consumable in the hands of most mercenaries and less wealthy puppet masters. Use. Of course, the lower the cost of consumables, the better, so they generally use puppets of ordinary quality, and many people use defective products. Only those who are more particular will use better quality. The puppets used for one-time self-destruction are basically of poor quality."
"You mean this puppet master is very rich?"
Ji Xi nodded: " The higher the quality craftsmanship, the The price difference is very large. Sometimes the price difference for one level may be more than dozens of times. For example, my big dog has hundreds of transmission parts in one arm, and every movement is very complicated. If the puppet is of poor quality, the puppet's movements will be very dull. If a puppet of good quality can be used as a consumable, I can only say that the puppet master has strong financial resources."
Da Fink said: "I also met a puppet." He described the puppet he saw.
Mr. Jixi said: "From your description, it should be a specially customized puppet. If I see the real thing, I may be able to tell which craftsman made it. Of course, it may also be the puppet master himself. "Many puppet masters are master craftsmen themselves."
Bes frowned and said, "In other words, these puppets are not." Any valuable clues?"
"No, a little bit." Mr. Ji Xi said: "The level of this puppet master is about high-level...and maybe a little bit stronger. , aged between 24 and 30 years old, not married."
Everyone was surprised: "Can you see this?"
Mr. Jixi rarely showed a confident smile: "This is my profession, please don't doubt it."
The puppet master originally majored in the magic of the mind control system. Although it is not mainly about mental control, Magicians who study the Department of Mind Control will have more or less research on psychology. When everyone thought about this, they felt relieved.
"I have done everything I can do, and the rest is your business." Mr. Jixi yawned again, and got into the carriage with the help of the big dog, still complaining: " Alas, I have to catch up on my beauty sleep at noon tomorrow..."
After Mr. Jixi left, follow-up clues were sent. At the time of the incident, some people saw the person jumping from the tower, a man wearing a blue robe. The interrogation of those arrested has also concluded.
The interrogator reported: "The four captured people confessed that they were militiamen organized in villages outside the city. Someone hired them for 1,000 gold coins two days ago and asked them to wait for the second contact. After the second contact , let them ambush in the street and use the explosion as a signal to carry out this operation.”
In some remote towns and rural villages, government soldiers are unable to take care of them. Each village will form its own militia organization to resist the invasion of monsters and bandits in the wild.
Bess was so angry: "These guys dare to kill people for 1,000 gold coins. They still kill people in the imperial capital! I wonder if these people have any brains? By the way, who is the person who contacted them? What does he look like? .”
The interrogator put down the report in his hand and said: "I don't know, the person who contacted them was a puppet."
"It's a puppet again. These people are very careful in what they do..."
……
Returning to the academy from the police station, he reported the situation to Deputy Dean Agnes, who was in charge of the case.
Agnes said: "Things happened during your actions, but the plan was approved by me. I will explain it to the superiors. You should cooperate with the police station and the royal guards to do your job. I will go to the palace to explain this operation in person tomorrow.”
After the report, the three of them were together, and Hubble was smoking under the tree. Da Funk was squatting on a stone bench next to a tree drinking beer. He couldn't help but raise his head and ask: "Captain, I don't mean to blame you, but where were you for such an important operation tonight?"
Su Fina said nothing.
Hubble said: "Actually, we still have a suspicious clue that we haven't mentioned at night." "Oh?" Sufina looked at him.
Hubble took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "Celeste Bingzhixie was also near the incident tonight. Da Funk and I were wondering if he was related to this case."< br>
Sofina lowered her head.
"You don't seem surprised." Hubble looked at her.
Sophina raised her eyes and said, "I know who the murderer was in the student assassination case."
"Oh!" Da Fink jumped down from the stone bench, and Hubble also threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, waiting for her to continue.
Sophina told them what she saw and heard.
Da Fink said: "You know why the murderer didn't say anything just now? Let's go arrest him now."
"Don't..." Sufina stopped him.
“What’s wrong?”
Sufina hesitated and said: "Leave this matter to me. Don't tell anyone about it yet."
"Why don't you plan to arrest someone? That's the murderer of the student murder case. This You don't know how big the relationship is, Captain!" Da Fink looked at her.
Sophina took a deep breath and sighed: "Xeno Blanche, she has been trying to get close to the teachers in the college, and intentionally or unintentionally pryed out some sensitive information, which caught my attention. I I didn’t touch her, firstly because I didn’t know what her purpose was, and secondly because I wanted to find out her accomplices from her interpersonal relationships.”
“Now her accomplices have appeared. , at least one, and there are very specific actions." Hubble said.
Sophina said, "Yes, I plan to do it. I had such a plan tonight. But..."
Da Funk: "But what?"
Hubble asked: "Is it because of Celeste?"
Sophina said nothing.
Da Funk was puzzled: "Because of that kid, why? Isn't he just a thief? If he is related to this case, the crime will be serious."
"He can't be It's related to this case." Sufina frowned, looking a little angry, and looked at Da Funk with certainty. Realizing that she had lost her temper, she softened and said, "And he is not a thief."
Hearing that something was wrong, Da Funk picked at the pimples on his face and wondered: "Captain, what's wrong with you? You seem to be very protective of that kid."
Sofina breathed a sigh of relief and squatted on the ground. Staring at the sand on the ground, he suddenly said: "He is very similar to me."
"Very similar?" Da Funk said She seemed to understand something: "You mean when you were a child?"
Sofina seemed to be talking to herself: "Solitary, closed, easily misunderstood, not close to others, eyes full of vigilance, ready to Be wary of others everywhere."
"This is your illusion..."
Sophie raised her head and glared at him.
“You say it, you say it.” Da Funk laughed dryly.
Sofina calmed down, stood up and said with a very relaxed look: "There is nothing to say. There are many orphans in the world. But his stalking behavior tonight can show that he and Bu Lan Qi is not in the same group."
"So what?" Da Fink spread his hands.
Sofina said: "He is not a real thief yet. We are just suspicious and have no direct evidence. He did not succeed either. There is a big difference between an unfinished theft and a successful theft. Chapter 1 Second, what is his purpose? ”
"This is not simple. If you arrest him and interrogate him, won't you know?" Da Fink said lightly: "If the intelligence system's interrogation methods are used on him once, I will not believe that he will not confess."
< br>Sofina glared at him again, and Da Funk could only shrug angrily. Sufina said: "I don't want to use too violent means. This matter can be solved in a better way."
Hubble said: "Whether Celeste is caught or not is not the same as whether Celeste is caught or not." There is no connection between Lan Qi and her accomplices.”
Sophina. Nodding: "Yes. But I think Blanche's background is not simple. There are many intelligence agents from various countries lurking in the imperial capital, but I don't think there is an ordinary intelligence organization behind Blanche."
"You Is there any evidence for such a judgment?" Hubble asked.
Sufina shook her head: "No, it's just the intuition of an intelligence officer. Also, Mr. Jixi also said that this group of people has strong financial resources behind them."
"This doesn't mean anything. Intelligence is expensive." Da Fink remained stubborn.
“But now there is a situation that is favorable to us.” Sufina said: “Before, we were showing that they were hiding. Now that I know their identities, the relationship between light and dark has been reversed. Blanche doesn't know that I already know her identity. I can use this to catch bigger fish. On the contrary, catching people now is just for the top. Explain, but this line is broken, and the people behind them will hide in the dark again."
Hubble nodded: "I agree with the captain's idea. If only two people are caught. If it’s a small fish, then we will suffer a big loss. Even if we take a back seat, we still have to catch the big fish!”
