"This is a senior investigator from the Special Task Force headquarters, Liang Fala." The officer with triangular eyes said, "And I'm Huang Rong, a special agent from the Military Intelligence Bureau. Old Liang and I have decided to investigate together. Please tell Dad that you guys don't have to interfere this time."
A senior investigator from the headquarters?
Xia Fan looked at Liang Fala. He was a middle-aged man with a wide mouth. Even though it was daytime, he wore a pair of large sunglasses. His hair was combed neatly and glossy, not a hair out of place.
Chu Yan stood up and retorted, "This is Brittany. All crimes committed by superhumans in Brittany are under our jurisdiction."
Hmph!
Liang Fala snorted coldly. His face was very gloomy. He stared at Chu Yan's full chest and said coldly, "A junior investigator and a trainee investigator. You don't have the right to talk to me? Get lost. If you want to talk, get Jerry here. "
What an arrogant attitude …
Xia Fan saw that Chu Yan seemed to be greatly humiliated. Her fair neck was flushed and her chest was heaving violently.
Suddenly …
At this moment, Xia Fan heard the voice of Jerry, the candy's dad. "Asking my people to get lost? I think the one who should get lost is you. "
Xia Fan was taken aback. This was the first time he had ever heard his father swear.
He looked back and saw Jerry's dad in the middle. His fat body occupied the entire aisle. Behind him was Qin Zimo, Chen Chen, and Dunn, nicknamed the Man in Black.
At this point, all the investigators from the Brittany branch had arrived. Starting from Jerry's dad, they all had nicknames except for Xia Fan. Since he was only a trainee, he could only be considered half an investigator in the bureau, so he did not have a nickname.
Liang Fala stared at his dad. Before he could speak, his dad changed his previous amiable attitude and said aggressively, "Liang Fala, senior investigator from the headquarters' Investigation Division Seven. The last time I saw you, you were still a young boy. I didn't expect so many years to pass in the blink of an eye. If I remember correctly, you should be forty years old this year, right?"
Xia Fan found it interesting that his dad knew how to act old. He saw Liang Fala frown and said reluctantly, "I'm forty-three this year."
Zhang Ye's father asked with a smile, "How's your division chief, Zhang Weiyuan, doing?"
Xia Fan's heart skipped a beat. How could his father call the director of the Seventh Investigation Division 'that kid'? How awe-inspiring!
Liang Fala said, "Director Zhang has been transferred to the Secret Bureau to be the bureau chief."
"Oh, then what about Lao Cai from the Secret Bureau?" Dad asked again.
"He is now a law enforcement member of the headquarters," Liang Fala replied.
Elder Father smiled. "Enforcer? He should have taken over Liao Qingshan's position. When I was still at the headquarters, Old Liao's health was not very good, but he insisted on not retiring. It's really hard for him. Now that he has retired, he can go to his daughter's place to enjoy his happiness. I remember when his daughter, Liao Qingqing, was born, I even held her. The little girl was naughty and peed in my arms. "
Xia Fan was speechless. The daughter of one of the nine law enforcement members had once peed in his father's arms? It seemed that his father knew everyone in the headquarters. What was the background of this chubby old man?
Liang Fala curled his lips. "Dad, don't use your seniority to pressure me. The past is different now. As a senior investigator in the bureau, I have the right to take over the operations of the local branch. Of course, if you want to snitch on me to the headquarters, I have nothing to say."
Hahaha!
Dad laughed and took out a bag of hazelnut chocolates. He distributed them to everyone. Looking at his bulging arms, he must have hidden a lot of delicious food.
"Why would I?" Dad peeled a piece of chocolate and threw it into his mouth. As he chewed, he said, "It's not my style to snitch on you, but I feel that this case is not trivial. It should be handed over to someone more likely to solve it."
Liang Fala didn't take the chocolate from his father. His eyes lit up with excitement. "Dad, is what you said true? Don't forget, I am a senior investigator from the headquarters. "
"Yes." His father nodded. "Tell me what you think."
Liang Fala nodded. His eyes became serious. He squatted down and carefully examined the victim's body. From time to time, he touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
Chu Yan brought Xia Fan to the corner of the living room and said, "Dad and Liang are fighting. There's nothing for us to do here. Let's wait and watch the show."
Xia Fan was puzzled. "Dad, you have such a powerful background."
"Of course." Chu Yan said proudly, "I heard that Dad used to be a gold-medal investigator in the headquarters. Later on, something happened and he was sent to Britannia. That Liang guy dared to put on airs in front of Dad. Dad taught him a lesson."
Chen Chen interrupted, "It depends on the situation. Dad doesn't like to show off his seniority. He'll pretend to be a grandson if he can. However, Dad is very protective of his children. Just now, Dad heard Liang talking to the two of you. That's a big taboo. It doesn't matter what others do to him, but he can't bully his subordinates, which is us."
Xia Fan was touched. Jerry's father's behavior was quite similar to that of the scourges who had accompanied Xia Fan since he was a child. They also desperately protected Xia Fan and in the end, they lost their lives.
After more than ten minutes, Liang Fala finally stood up and said with conviction, "It's obvious that this is a premeditated robbery and murder. According to the degree of stiffness of the body, the time of the crime is estimated to be between ten and eleven o 'clock last night.
"There are no signs of damage in the entire house, which means that the suspect deceived Wu Jie's family's trust in advance. After entering the room, he suddenly committed the murder. At that time, Wu Jie and his wife were watching TV with their three grandchildren, so the bodies were concentrated in the living room area.
"In Wu Jie's study on the second floor, the safe was opened and all the belongings were missing. This means that the suspect probably knew Wu Jie's family, knew the location of the safe and the family's habits.
"The scene has obviously been professionally cleaned. There are no remnants that can be used as clues. In addition, Wu Jie used to be a superpower user. It is inferred that there should be at least two criminals with Star Sector-level combat power …"
Liang Fala made his own judgment from a professional point of view. He was sure that this was a robbery and murder case.
As a senior investigator from the headquarters, Liang Fala's inference was reasonable and clear. He finally concluded, "According to the situation at the scene, the murderer should be two or three lurking superpowers. Their information was not registered, but as long as we conduct a resident population survey within a radius of 30 kilometers from the murder site, we should be able to find the suspect. Focus on the local property management company, electric heating company, local police, and any other work units that can gain the trust of the victim."
Clap clap clap!
Huang Rong from the military applauded. "A senior investigator is indeed extraordinary. I believe that as long as we follow this line of thought, it won't be difficult to find the murderer. Dad, what do you think?"
Jerry's father smiled faintly. He turned his eyes to Xia Fan. "Xia Fan, do you have a different opinion?"
Xia Fan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that his father would throw the responsibility to him. He thought that Jerry's father would personally take action this time.
Liang Fala's face was already green. He gritted his teeth and said, "Dad? What do you mean? He's just a bullsh * t trainee investigator! "
His father said disapprovingly, "How would you know if you don't try? When I first met you 20 years ago, you weren't much better than Xia Fan. "
"It's okay, Xia Fan. Speak your mind boldly."
Xia Fan had no choice but to nod slightly. With a smile on his face, he looked at the angry Liang Fala and said, "I don't think this is a robbery or murder. This is the murderer's execution."
Execution?!
The word Xia Fan used was very special. Everyone was stunned for a moment.
His father touched his fat chin. "Go on."
Xia Fan came to the center of the living room, in front of the five bodies. He pointed down with one hand and said, "Don't you think that the way Wu Jie's family died is very strange? Their heads were facing the center of the living room, face down, and their throats were slit.
"I think that after the murderer entered the Wu family, he controlled the victims in the living room, then made them kneel down and form a circle. Then, he used a knife to slit their throats one by one.
"This kind of execution-style murder is obviously due to a deep hatred. Look at the wounds on their necks. They were all caused by the left hand because the incision on the left side of the wound is obviously deeper. All five victims' throats were slit with the left hand, which means that the murderer did not have many people. He was alone.
"After all, if all the murderers were left-handed, the probability of that happening is too low."
"Nonsense!" Liang Fala was furious. "Wu Jie is a retired soldier and a superpower user! If there was only one murderer, why didn't he resist?! "
Xia Fan smiled. "Maybe Wu Jie knew the murderer. When the murderer knocked on the door and appeared in Wu Jie's house, he knew that his time was up, so he didn't resist."
"Ridiculous!" Liang Fala stared at his father. "Is this your subordinate? We, the Special Task Force, rely on evidence to enforce the law, not on whims! "
His father was unmoved and said to Xia Fan, "He's right. You need to show me evidence."
Xia Fan nodded. "I'll try."
After that, Xia Fan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, put on his gloves, and opened it. Then, he curled his tongue up as if he was whistling, but no one at the scene could hear the sound of the whistle.
His father had given Xia Fan two hazelnut chocolates. He crushed them and spread them in his palm.
Not long after, a few orioles chirped and landed. They were not afraid of Xia Fan at all. They landed on his arms and shoulders, then hopped to the front of Xia Fan's palms to eat the chocolate crumbs.
"It's beast-taming!?" Liang Fala was stunned. The way he looked at Xia Fan was completely different. It was no longer full of disdain, but shock.
After all, it was rare for someone at Xia Fan's age to have mastered advanced beast-taming skills and control the small animals around him. Even if there were people who were proficient in beast-taming, they would usually be old men.
Huang Rong, from the military, narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Fan again.
Xia Fan turned around and said helplessly, "It would have been a better choice to deal with the mice living in the kitchen sewer, but someone used a strong pesticide, benzodiin, and all the mice ran away."
"Fortunately, these little guys live nearby. They told me that only one person came here last night."
Hmph!
Liang Fala said with a gloomy face, "Even if you know beast-taming and can get information from the animals, you can't explain why the safe on the second floor was stolen. As a retired superpower user, Wu Jie's wealth must be far beyond that of ordinary people. This was not a vendetta, but a premeditated robbery and murder!"
"Achoo!"
Xia Fan's nose suddenly twitched and he sneezed, scaring away the orioles.
He had no choice but to throw the chocolate crumbs in his hand onto the lawn in the yard. He returned to his father's side and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Are you sure?" His father was stunned, and the fat on his chin trembled.
"Fifty percent. After all, the smell of disinfectant in this room is seriously disturbing me. That's why I need you to make a decision." Xia Fan shrugged.
His father nodded gently and observed Xia Fan. Xia Fan still had a smile on his face.
Jerry's father first looked at Liang Fala, then at Huang Rong, and finally at the black suitcase with the Military Intelligence's logo in the corner.
