Chapter 37 Geocentric Religion
Eating melon is human nature!
Gossip is engraved in everyone's genes. There is no distinction between high and low status in eating melons, not to mention country, occupation, and social class. From the princes and nobles to the common people, everyone likes to eat melons.
Especially the on-site melon, the fresh and hot kind, is the most attractive to the onlookers.
A suicide case occurred in the hotel. A geology professor from Lundam took poison and committed suicide in the room, leaving a suicide note before his death. The professor confessed his bad life and did many bad things to his friends and students, hoping to die in exchange for everyone's forgiveness.
Near noon, the assistants and students who were traveling with him saw no answer when they knocked on the door, so they called the hotel owner to break in and found the professor's body and suicide note.
It was just an ordinary suicide case, with poison taken in a secret room and a handwritten suicide note, which almost ruled out the possibility of homicide. When the police arrived, confirmed the scene and went through the process, the case was basically closed.
Coincidentally, Wesley, a detective from London, lived in the hotel and walked around the scene, insisting that the professor had committed suicide.
An acquaintance commits a crime, and the murderer is among his assistants and students.
Almost at the same time, local detective Hood of Enlord Town came to the hotel to deliver an investigation report to the professor and firmly believed that the professor died of homicide.
Hood has met the professor several times and commented that the professor is an arrogant and selfish old thing. The possibility of such a thing repenting and committing suicide to atone for his sins is extremely low.
There was no motive for suicide. If the professor had any regrets, he would have killed himself long ago. How could he endure it until now?
Ever since, the two detectives met their eyes.
Wesley is a well-known detective in London, who is in his thirties, and has a good reputation in the industry; Hood is a local detective in Enlord Town, who is nearly fifty years old, and his professionalism and experience are widely praised.
Without saying a word, the two immediately started investigating, both trying to solve the case and catch the real culprit before the other.
The onlookers were very excited. They were not interested in the professor's life or death, and they had an indifferent attitude towards who the murderer was. They just wanted to know who of the two detectives was better.
A group of people blocked the entrance of the hotel, waiting to decide the winner. As the news spread, more and more townspeople joined the crowd of onlookers, blocking traffic and blocking Wayne's car.
Hood played at home and won the support of 90% of the townspeople.
The opening odds are extremely high!
Hood has gained the moral support of the townspeople, but when it comes to money, the townspeople are more willing to believe in Lundam's detective.
The famous detective who can pull this out in Lundam must be better than our local detectives!
What, where are the police, you ask?
Partly responsible for evacuating traffic and partly responsible for opening the market, the police officers of the Kingdom of Windsor are so unpretentious.
The police chief was a lazy man, so when he saw the two detectives Wesley and Hood fighting on the spot, he simply allowed them to do it, detaining the assistant and the student group, and waiting for the two detectives to finish all their work.
They are all about solving crimes. Why not let the detectives contribute when they are fully paid?
Of course, you can't say that, it's against the rules. The police chief meant to give the victim the truth, and he would refer to the opinions provided by the two detectives during the investigation.
One thing to say here is that with the advancement of the times, even in the Kingdom of Windsor, detectives are not qualified to enter the murder scene. Private detectives are mainly active in the civil and commercial fields. Once criminal crimes are involved, they basically have nothing to do.
For example, in Wayne's previous entrusted investigation of Dr. Reiner and his wife, he followed and took pictures in various ways, but he was not caught on the spot, otherwise he would have suffered a lot.
This is Windsor, and there is no shortage of gays in the prison. Many people cannot figure it out at first, but once they enter, they are connected in all directions.
Back to business, Wayne squeezed through the onlookers on the three floors inside and outside, grabbed the special seat in the front row, and happily waited for the two detectives to fight.
He saw the police chief and two colleagues who were engaged in a reasoning duel. The three of them gathered together. They had just walked out of the murder scene and seemed to be discussing something.
With identification from the enthusiastic crowd, Wayne knew who the two detectives were. Wesley was fair-faced and beardless, a standard Windsor handsome boy; Hood was slightly fat and had two black beards.
The atmosphere at the scene was harmonious, but Wayne was disappointed. The two detectives were not as passionate as they imagined. They were even exchanging opinions and sharing the clues they had collected.
"Tsk, that's boring. Sure enough, anime is all a lie." Wayne curled his lips, looking at the fun and thinking it was too trivial.
Like Wayne, the townspeople also expressed their dissatisfaction, and each one shouted: "Hood, you represent the town of Enlord, show your skills to Mr. Lundan, and let him know how powerful the country detective is."
"Hood, I bet all my drinking money tonight on the London guy, you must not win!"
"Don't worry, Hood can't solve the case. His poor detective skills are no match for Master Lundam, otherwise he would have gone to Lundam to make a fortune long ago."
"Hey, I don't like hearing this anymore. What's wrong with Mr. Lundan? Mr. Lundan is also a human being. I stand with Hood. He is the one everyone expects." Wayne was bored and took the initiative to join the fire-fighting team, just like the one next to him. The idle and bored gentleman hat started a fierce battle.
"Wesley is also well-known in Lundam. I have heard of his name. He has been in newspapers many times. The Lundam Police Department often appoints him to help solve cases." The gentleman in the hat held a civilized stick in his hand and a newspaper under his arm. Disdainful of Wayne's words.
"Just a passer-by, let me tell you, I am from Lundam, and I am also a detective. I have never heard of Wesley, and there is no mention in the newspaper."
"You don't even know Wesley, and you still have the nerve to pretend to be Detective Lundan. If you were a detective, I would eat this newspaper!" Gentleman Hat seemed to be a die-hard fan of Wesley, and he became excited after just two words. stand up.
Faced with this behavior of cheating people to eat and drink, Wayne did not say anything. The onlookers were so happy that they spread the word and the whole street was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
"Who wants to duel and where?"
"I heard that a pretty boy slept with the hat shop owner's wife..."
"Funnymudpee!"
"Asshole, whoever touches my butt, please be gentler?" "Damn it, my wallet is gone."
"Fuckyouseconduncle!"
The chaotic crowd seriously disrupted order and soon aroused the dissatisfaction of the police chief. He shouted loudly and told the crowd to keep their voices down.
Gentleman Hat couldn't see a big talker like Wayne, so he shouted: "Chief, this gentleman is also a detective, why not let him provide some opinions?"
And detectives! xN
A group of people looked at Wayne who was standing next to the gentleman's hat. Wayne's two colleagues also cast their gazes. The police chief was slightly stunned and asked a police officer to bring Wayne to him.
"What do you call this gentleman?"
"Wayne."
"Where are you from, Mr. Wayne? I haven't seen you in Enlord Town." The Sheriff has average abilities, but he is not a useless person. At least he has a good memory and is familiar with every face in the town.
If you are not familiar with it, you are an outsider.
"People from Lundan, come to Enlord Town for vacation and live there temporarily." Wayne raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the villa.
The police chief looked in the direction pointed by Wayne, his eyes flashed, and his tone immediately became respectful: "It turns out to be Mr. Wayne. I'm sorry. I heard that you are also a detective?"
"Part-time detective, opened a detective agency, just for fun."
Wayne waved his hand. There were two professional colleagues and a group of police officers at the scene, and he didn't want to get involved.
After all the shopping and fussing, the stress has been relieved and it’s time to go back and meditate.
At this moment, the professor's body covered with white cloth was brought out. The case was a bit tricky. After investigating the murder scene, the forensic investigators were at a loss and were preparing to take several suspects back to the small town police station for questioning.
Two detectives will also be accompanying them.
This is how crimes are solved. Whether it is the police or the detectives who work together to solve the case, almost all cases are solved in the office. It is very rare to catch the murderer directly at the crime scene by reasoning.
Wayne glanced at the body, his eyes swept across several suspects, and stopped on a middle-aged man.
This man smelled very strong, with a lot of professor's scent from head to toe...
The smell of the professor's corpse!
Although the other suspects had the same smell, it was far less strong than the man's, indicating that the man had been alone with the professor's body for a long time.
Wayne analyzed what he had just heard and speculated that the smell on the suspects came from a group breaking into the secret room, and the man...
Got it!
When the door was broken in, was your kid hiding behind the door?
No wonder your nose is so red. Does it hurt?
You have a big heart. You stood guarding the professor's body all night. Aren't your legs numb? Are you afraid that the professor will chat with you in the middle of the night?
Wayne identified the murderer, and through the reasoning process, whispered a few words in the Sheriff's ear, then said goodbye to the Sheriff and drove back to the big house villa.
If it had been anyone else who hadn't even entered the crime scene and identified the murderer just by looking at his face, the police chief would have scoffed and wouldn't have believed a word he said.
But Wayne was different. His temporary home was unusual.
Mr. Landau gives money to the Enlord Town Police Department every year, which is called social donation, so that the town police officers can enjoy the same benefits as the Lundan police officers.
Will friends who live in food and clothing talk nonsense?
It can't be!
After returning to the police station, the sergeant immediately interrogated him personally. The first words he spoke made the middle-aged man's face turn pale.
"In addition to the professor's body, there was also a person hidden in the room. He poisoned the professor and then put down his suicide note and hid behind the door waiting for others to break in, thereby disguising the suicide scene in the secret room, right?"
"You don't have to say anything, but someone noticed that you were not wearing gloves. Your fingerprints may be picked up from the wall behind the door."
The middle-aged man did it, and he was indeed the one who killed the person.
The rapid solution of the case surprised the two detectives, especially the local detective Hood, who looked like he had seen a ghost.
WTF, is this the same Sheriff he knows? Has he been impersonated?
The police chief felt proud for a while and explained to the two detectives: "The person who solved the case was Mr. Wayne. He identified the suspect at a glance and deduced the circumstances of the case."
"..." x2
Only glanced at it, how could this be possible. x2
"Wesley, you are also Detective Lundam. You must have heard of his name, right?"
Wesley: "..."
No, this was the first time he heard the name of this colleague.
The two detectives looked at each other and became interested in Wayne. After the two left the police station, Hood said, "Wesley, do you want to extend an invitation to him?"
"You can give it a try."
Wesley nodded. He had been following the Geocentric Sect group for a long time, and finally got some clues. The insider professor was poisoned to death.
