Kieran carefully flipped through the documents, trying to find out more about the Missing People Murder Case.
The information in the folder could be divided into two parts.
The first part was about the missing person, Louver.
Ten years ago, Louver had disappeared on his way to school when he was only 15 years old.
The police had invested a lot of manpower and resources into the case, but they had failed to find any trace of him until three days ago.
Louver, who was supposed to be missing or even dead, had reappeared after 10 years.
Not only had he reappeared, but he had also brutally murdered a taxi driver, Munter.
As for the murder of the taxi driver, it was categorized into the second part.
Munter, a 50-year-old taxi driver, had been murdered in his own home.
He had been murdered in his own home.
His fingerprints were all over the room.
Munter was a kind man who loved to read. Other than the fact that he was divorced, there was nothing noteworthy about him.
Of course, there was nothing noteworthy about him. It was just a record of the information in the folder.
More questions had appeared in Kieran's mind.
"Is there anything else you want to add to this Mr. Munter?"
Kieran raised his head and asked Schmidt.
"I know what you mean.
A teenager who had been missing for 10 years had reappeared and killed a taxi driver. There must be some connection between the two.
"In fact, this taxi driver might even be the kidnapper back then!"
"That's what I thought at first, but … after our investigation, everything is normal!"
Schmidt shook his head helplessly.
"Everything is normal?"
Kieran furrowed his brows.
"In our eyes, everything is normal. That's why we need the help of a special person like you, who can look at things from a different perspective!"
Schmidt opened his hands wide. He was openly admitting his shortcomings.
"Let's go!
Let's take a look at this Mr. Munter! "
Kieran stood up.
He really wanted to reject Schmidt's offer and stay in the study to continue reading.
However, his promise to Nikorei forced him to help Schmidt. It was the only way he could stay in the study and continue reading.
...
In the morgue.
Morgue cabinets were lined up along one of the walls. Two autopsy tables were placed in the middle of the room.
A forensic doctor who had been waiting for a long time was standing next to him.
"Schmidt, please pay me extra the next time I work late at night!"
The man started to complain the moment Kieran and Schmidt came in.
"If you can get the director's approval, I have no objections!"
As Schmidt spoke, he walked towards the morgue at the side.
It was obvious that this was not Schmidt's first time here.
The forensic doctor quickly followed Schmidt and opened the morgue cabinet before he could open it.
"Hey, there are surveillance cameras here!"
"And according to the rules. There are some things that I have to do! "
"Otherwise, my salary will be reduced by quite a bit!"
He smiled at Kieran and introduced himself, "Derrick, it's an honor to meet you, Mr. 2567. Your analysis of the Heart Taker is great! If it's possible … "
"Alright, Derek!"
"2567 and I are here for business!"
"This isn't an exchange of pleasantries, nor is it a gathering. Understand? "
Schmidt interrupted the forensic doctor.
"Okay, okay!"
"The victim was Munter, 50 years old. He was stabbed more than a dozen times, the most lethal one being the one that pierced through his heart … "
The forensic doctor explained as he opened the body bag.
Kieran's eyes were locked on the body.
The man was extremely muscular.
With that kind of sturdiness, he didn't look like a taxi driver at all, but more like a professional wrestler.
His hands were covered in thick calluses, both on the back and the center of his palms. Kieran could totally imagine that given the size of the man, his palms could easily crush bricks and stones with ease.
However, Munter had been killed so easily.
There was a deep wound on his chest. The cut was clean and neat from the front to the back, going straight through his heart.
It showed how sharp the weapon was and how skillful the wielder was.
Kieran was more concerned about the other wounds on Munter's body.
Every slash was not deep, nor was it shallow.
They were enough to inflict excruciating pain on Munter, but not fatal.
"Louver is torturing Munter!"
Kieran came to a conclusion.
If Munter had nothing to do with Louver's disappearance, Kieran would be the first to doubt it.
Still, there was another question.
"The fight between Louver and Munter must not have been silent. Did none of the neighbors hear any sounds or screams?"
Kieran asked.
Kieran had not mentioned anything about this in the file.
"Nope.
I've asked all the neighbors around Munter, and none of them heard any screams or sounds of fighting! "
Schmidt said confidently.
"We should go to Munter's house and have a look.
Thank you for your help, Derek! "
Kieran thanked the forensic doctor and walked out of the morgue.
"It's my duty!"
The forensic doctor smiled and waved at Kieran.
As for Schmidt, he had already walked out of the morgue.
With their relationship, it was destined that there was no need for such small talk.
...
Munter lived at 155 Ciaran Street.
It was a street where the middle and lower class families gathered.
They could not be considered the middle class, but they did not want to live in the slums, so they gathered here.
Ciaran Street had the characteristics of both.
There was a little bit of chaos, but there were also regular police patrols.
All in all, it was a safe place.
The residents in the area were also quite friendly.
That was why Munter's murder had caused such a huge uproar.
Following the rumors, people started to panic.
The station had to increase the number of officers.
Kieran had already seen two groups of simple security posts and a group of mobile police patrols from the street corner to Munter's house.
"We've explained enough.
"But the residents here are still worried. They believe that a serial killer comparable to the Heart Taker killed Muntle."
It shouldn't be Louver, that poor kid! "
Schmidt said with a helpless expression.
"Are the residents familiar with Louver?"
Kieran asked out of instinct when he heard Schmidt's tone.
"Yes.
"Back then, Louver's disappearance and Muntle's murder caused an uproar!"
Now that both of them are combined, I can already imagine what kind of news will appear in the papers! "
Schmidt nodded, his voice sounding even more helpless than before.
In fact, Kieran could already see some reporters squatting around the area with their cameras.
Some of them were even pressing their shutters at Schmidt and Kieran.
"Go away!"
Schmidt chased the reporters away as he got out of the car.
In return, the reporters pressed their shutters even harder.
Kieran shook his head.
He finally understood why Schmidt had been a chief officer for ten years, yet he had never been promoted.
It would be strange if he could get promoted with that kind of temper.
Listening to Schmidt's angry shouts at the reporters, Kieran squeezed through the police cordon and entered Munter's house.
Schmidt's presence was the best pass.
None of the patrolling officers would stop them.
As soon as he entered the house, Kieran frowned.
