Mahazaya, National Guard Station, ten o 'clock in the morning.
"What? Funeral? " Juliet, who was disguised as a reporter, was talking to the person in charge of the local police station. "But … We made an appointment in advance!
"FTV, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs knows about this too!"
"Miss," the person in charge said in fluent English, "Funerals don't wait for anyone! As colleagues, we can't just focus on the interview and ignore the funeral, right? "
While Juliet was talking to the person in charge, Zhao Yu, who was standing behind the crowd, observed the surroundings carefully. He realized that the so-called National Guard Station was really shabby.
The dilapidated two-story building, the guards at the entrance, and the uneven police uniforms made it look more like a police station.
Plus, there were so many of them, yet they didn't register or check. They just walked in without anyone stopping or paying attention to them.
"Funeral? Whose funeral?" Juliet asked.
"The deputy bureau chief!" the person in charge replied. "The deputy bureau chief's house was on fire, and his whole family died … Sigh …"
"Oh?" Juliet creased her eyebrows and asked, "So, most of the police officers went to the funeral today? Your bureau chief went too? "
"Of course, with such a big incident, the bureau chief definitely had to go!"
"Tsk tsk …" Juliet shook her head helplessly.
"But …" the person in charge suggested, "You can interview me first. I am the director of logistics at the police station, so I know a lot of things!
"What do you want to know? Do you want to understand the impact of the new policy on our police force? "
"Mm …" Juliet exchanged glances with her subordinates, then pretended to be happy and said, "If that's the case, that's great!"
As soon as Juliet said this, someone immediately carried a camera and a microphone to them.
"Really?" The person in charge adjusted his collar and said nervously, "Will this part be broadcasted on TV?"
…
An hour later, Zhao Yu sat in the news broadcast car, looking at the street outside the police station.
The weather was hot, but there were dark clouds gathering in the sky, as though it was going to rain. According to the information, Zhao Yu knew that Mahazaya had rain for half a year.
Through the window, he could see groups of people on the deserted street. Some of them were dressed in rags. Some were chatting, while others were hurrying along.
There were all kinds of transportation on the streets. There were bicycles, trolleys, donkey carts, horse-drawn carriages, motorcycles …
Who would have thought that this was the capital of a country, yet it was so backward?
It was said that uncivilized primitive people still lived in the primeval forest in the center of the island, and some places even had the habit of cannibalism.
Peng …
At this moment, the car door opened, and Juliet and his men got in one after another.
"There's a problem, Zhao!" As soon as they got in the car, Juliet's expression changed. "We might have gotten ourselves into big trouble!"
"Oh?" Zhao Yu and Ding Lan were surprised. Ding Lan asked, "What happened?"
"Through interviews and investigations, we've found the person who spoke to Mia!" Juliet lit a cigarette and said nervously, "That person's name is Marge. He was the deputy director of the National Guard, and he was also the captain of the criminal police who was in charge of the Kuman Thong murders back then!"
"Huh?" Suddenly, Zhao Yu realized something.
"Yes!" Juliet nodded and said, "Today's funeral at the National Guard is for him!"
That one sentence caused the atmosphere in the car to freeze. For a minute, no one said a word.
"This …" After a long time, Ding Lan said in a low voice, "This is troublesome!"
"I bet ten thousand euros!" One of Juliet's men said in English. "The deputy director definitely didn't die of natural causes!"
"Yeah," another man said. "Mahazaya rained all year, so he was burned to death. He had to use some gasoline!"
"The whole family is dead. What does this mean? The murderer is cruel and merciless! "
Everyone began to discuss among themselves.
"Zhao," Juliet looked at Zhao Yu and said, "did you notice? If Marge's death was because of the phone call with Mia, then the whole thing points to the Kuman Thong murders! "
"Mm …" Zhao Yu nodded. "I've already thought of it. It seems like … Tsk tsk … "
It was undeniable that Zhao Yu had encountered the most difficult case in history.
Now, the clues to the Kuman Thong murders were right in front of them, but everyone knew what they would encounter if they continued to persist.
Whoosh …
Just then, the door of the news van was suddenly pushed open. The nervous agents immediately took out their pistols and pointed at the door.
"Oh, oh, oh …" The person outside the door was shocked and quickly raised his hands.
The next second, everyone saw that the person was also one of Juliet's men, so they put down their guns.
"What … What's wrong?" The agent sighed, then turned to Juliet and said, "Sir, I just checked their files. The list of suspects in the Kuman Thong murders has been deleted!"
As he spoke, he turned on his phone and showed Juliet the photos he had just taken.
"Look, the other files are all there, but the names of the suspects are missing!"
Phew …
Hearing this, Zhao Yu began to pant. The truth was obvious. Someone wanted to cover up the information about the Kuman Thong murders and prevent anyone from investigating the case.
Phew … Phew …
Zhao Yu closed his eyes and recalled the whole process. There was no doubt that the final conclusion was terrifying!
"But …" Ding Lan said, "I still don't understand! Although there were many victims in the Kuman Thong murder case, it was still a serial murder case!
"Why … Why did it become like this?
"Why did someone obstruct the investigation so crazily? Could this person be the murderer himself?"
Ding Lan's doubts were exactly what no one could figure out.
"Also," Zhao Yu added, "this person even dared to kill the deputy bureau chief of the police station. Although he did it, it's obvious that he is much more powerful than we thought!
"Juliet," Zhao Yu asked the French senior, "I don't think there's any need for you to hide anymore, right? What else do you know? "
"Huh? Me? "Juliet was stunned, then said innocently," I told you everything I know! Let's investigate the case together. What else do I need to hide? "
"Okay, you don't want to tell me, right?" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "Then let's go our separate ways! I don't want to investigate this case anymore! "
Then, Zhao Yu snapped his fingers, and Ding Lan took out her phone to book a plane ticket.
"Zhao," Juliet said solemnly, "I've shared all my information with you. I did hide something from you before, because I didn't want you to solve this case alone. But now, I swear to God that I didn't hide anything from you!"
"Really?" Zhao Yu asked. "Then tell me, why do you care so much about this case? If you solve the Kuman Thong murder case, what benefits will it bring you? "
