The police car was parked in front of an old building.
Of course, the two police officers who drove the car were no longer there. They were now in a unit on the second floor of the building, accompanied by several forensic officers.
There was no doubt that this was a murder case. According to common sense, there should be at least several times more people at the scene of this kind of murder.
But obviously, there were more forensic officers searching for evidence than maintaining order and looking for clues. The so-called maintaining order was actually just setting up a cordon downstairs, and no one was guarding it.
The reason for this was not the slacking or inaction of the police officers in charge of maintaining order in the city, even though the city had always been known for its poor security. The truth was that not only had there been a major hostage-taking incident last night, even the President of the Senate had been assassinated on his way home. At the same time, the local Chief Jose was also shot by bandits in the theater. Now the whole police system was in chaos, and a large number of people were transferred.
Due to all kinds of reasons, only two police officers arrived at the scene in the end.
"Mrs. Riley, please repeat, you are the owner of this house, right?" A police officer was holding a recording pen to Mrs. Riley.
Mrs. Riley said, "Yes, this house was left to me by my husband, and there are currently four tenants."
On the other side, the second police officer was questioning Arnold, the tenant of the unit where the murder happened.
Of course, the questioning here was much more detailed. The police officer not only turned on the recording pen, but also took a small notebook to write down important clues.
"Are you sure you don't know the victim?" The police officer asked.
"No, I have never seen this woman." Arnold shook his head.
The police officer snorted, "You said you don't know the victim, then why was she in your house? We have checked the door, and there is no trace of damage. Although this place is not high, you can climb in from the outside. Let's assume that this woman is a thief … But in your house, the most valuable thing should be the only air conditioner in your bedroom, right? "
"Officer, listen to me, I really don't know this woman, and I don't know how she got in my house." Arnold hurriedly said, "I was at school the whole night and only left this morning … The guard, the guard can testify for me!"
"Did I ask you that?" The police officer snorted. "Why are you in such a hurry to explain?"
"I …" Ah Nuo swallowed his saliva and subconsciously adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, not daring to speak.
From the outside, A Nuo did not look like the kind of college student with a flying personality who could keep up with trends. Instead, he looked more like a bookworm.
At this time, the communicator on the officer's shoulder rang.
After listening for a while, he looked at A'Nuo and said, "Through the ID card left by the deceased, we found the personal information of the deceased. Who do you think this woman is? "
Arnold asked curiously, "Who are they?"
"Her name is Livia. She used to be a police officer and had experience of being arrested. I think she should still be in that profession now." The police officer stared into Arnold's eyes and suddenly asked, "Sir, do you have a habit of soliciting prostitutes?"
A Nuo was stunned, and then he said with a rather agitated expression, "What do you mean? Are you suspecting that I killed someone? At that time, Mrs. Riley was also there. We all saw with our own eyes that someone climbed down from my house and ran away. It was a woman! "
"Quiet!" The police officer snorted. "You just need to answer my questions. You don't need to say anything else! Answer me, do you have a habit of soliciting prostitutes? "
Perhaps because the police officer's momentum was too strong, A Nuo's face turned pale and he hurriedly said, "No."
At this time, another police officer who was taking a statement with Mrs. Riley came over, and the two began to talk in a low voice.
Then the police officer looked at A Nuo and narrowed his eyes. "You said that you didn't know the deceased? Then why did your landlord, Mrs. Riley, tell me that she saw a woman walk out of your house several times? "
"Impossible!" A Nuo shook his head. "I really don't know this woman …"
"Is that so?" The police officer sneered. "In fact, it's very simple to prove whether this woman has been here before or not. There are surveillance videos in the nearby streets, and we can investigate the previous records. At the same time, there are many shops downstairs. With so many people, if this woman has really been here several times, she will definitely find someone who has an impression of her … Don't you think so? "
A Nuo's face changed slightly.
"You're lying!" The police officer shouted coldly.
A Nuo's face turned pale, and he hesitated. "Officer … I do have something to hide, but can we speak in private?"
The two police officers exchanged a look and brought A Nuo out. "Well, if you're smart, you should know that you have to tell us the truth!"
"Officer, I swear, I really don't know this woman." A Nuo swallowed and then hesitated. "But I think … I might know why she appeared in my house."
"You don't know her? How can you know? "The police officer was furious." Boy, are you playing with us? "
A Nuo quickly shook his hands. "No, no, no, please listen to me. I … I actually have a brother. Maybe he knows this woman? "
"Your brother?" The two police officers frowned.
A Nuo sighed and said, "Yes, my brother … We're twins. It's true. You should be able to find the records about this. My brother's name is Haley … "
The police officers quickly investigated. With the information provided by A Nuo, Haley's information was quickly verified.
Looking at the simple information about Haley on the phone, as well as Haley's ID photo sent by the headquarters, the police officers compared it to A Nuo's current appearance and frowned. "They really are twins … You mean, this victim was brought back by your brother?"
"Maybe, I'm just guessing." A Nuo sighed and said, "I don't have a good relationship with my brother. The last time he came to my house was two months ago. But something strange happened at that time, and that was that a spare key to my house was missing. I didn't think much of it at that time … But now that I think about it, my brother must have secretly taken it. "
The police officer was puzzled. "Even if he took it, why did he bring this woman here? Also, why did you and Mrs. Riley see another woman run away? "
A Nuo shook his head. "How would I know? I've already told you, I just came back from school early in the morning. I don't know what happened here! But … "
"But what?" The police officer asked.
A Nuo frowned and said, "After hearing about the victim's identity, I remembered what happened in the past. Back when my parents were still alive, our family of four was still living here. My brother … Haley was already very fond of finding prostitutes back then. He would even bring them back home to save on the cost of the hourly room. The victim happened to be a prostitute, so I have reason to believe that Haley secretly brought her here to do those things when I wasn't home … "
The police officer snorted and said, "Since you have such an important clue, why didn't you tell us at the beginning? Instead, you waited until we found out that you were lying to us before telling us the truth? "
A Nuo seemed to have been forced into a corner. He grabbed his hair painfully and squatted on the ground.
"Because … Because I didn't want anyone to know that I had such a brother. Officer, since you've found his information, you should know what kind of person my brother, Haley, is is, right? Theft, drug abuse, fighting, assault, illegal traffic jams, jail time … I think the file on him should be as thick as a dictionary! What about me? Since I was young, I studied very hard and my grades were excellent. Later, I tried my best to get into this famous university. In other people's eyes, I was a person with a bright future … I didn't want anyone to know that I had such a twin brother … "
It seemed that he could not control his emotions. At this time, Arnold suddenly raised his head and roared, "Can you understand that feeling? In this world, there is a person who looks exactly like you, but does all kinds of bad things! Every day, who knew how many people hated this face behind his back! Every day, who knew how many people were looking for this face to seek revenge! You … Can you understand that kind of fear? Can you understand the hatred in my heart?! "
"Recently, because of my good grades, the faculty gave me an extra scholarship. My tutor also recommended a very good internship company for me …" A Nuo took off his glasses and covered his eyes. He sounded like he was about to cry. "If … If others knew that Haley was my brother and that he might be related to the murder case, then my … my efforts all this time, all … all …"
His shoulders trembled. This young man in his early twenties squatted in front of the two police officers and cried silently.
The police officer who questioned A Nuo shook his head and took out a pack of tissues. He patted A Nuo's shoulder and said, "Okay, about what you said, we will seriously verify it when we go back. Of course, it's also true that you didn't cooperate with us in the beginning … But, forget it, we won't pursue this matter for the time being. "
"Then, do you know your brother … I mean Haley, do you know where he is? Or how to find him? "another police officer asked.
A Nuo wiped his eyes and put his glasses back on. He shook his head and said, "I don't know where he is. All this time, he was the one who took the initiative to find me. Sometimes, even when I was hiding from him, he could always find me. To be honest, for a person like him, where could he not stay? Today, he's at this woman's house. Tomorrow, he'll be at another woman's house. Maybe the day after tomorrow, he'll be in prison. "
The police officer took notes and asked, "When was the last time he came to find you? You said two months ago. Do you remember the exact time? Did he say anything to you at that time? Did he mention anyone? "
"It should be late October, around the 25th or 26th." A Nuo frowned. "I don't remember what he said. At that time, I didn't want to talk to this guy at all. I was just brushing him off. "
"That's it? Try to remember everything in detail, "the police officer continued to ask.
A Nuo rubbed his forehead and said hesitantly, "Oh right, he said that day that he would have money in two days. When that time comes, he would buy me a big house."
A Nuo shook his head and sneered. "How can a person like him have money? Even if he does, I'm afraid he wouldn't know where he got it from. I don't want that kind of money! "
The two police officers continued to ask A Nuo a lot of questions and then told him to keep in touch and that they could find him at any time. They didn't leave until it was almost evening.
Mrs. Riley didn't know what the police officers said after they took A Nuo away. She asked with concern, "A Nuo, are you okay? They didn't do anything to you, did they? Don't be silent. If they bullied you, I'll sue them! They're a bunch of freeloaders! They only know how to bully us! "
"No, no, they just asked me some details." A Nuo shook his head and comforted her. "They were very polite to me. They were just curious why the deceased could come in."
"That's right. How did these two women get in here? It's really strange. "Mrs. Riley suddenly looked at A Nuo strangely." You … you really don't know? "
A Nuo smiled bitterly. "If I knew, I wouldn't have such a headache … Now they've blocked the scene. I don't even know where to stay today."
Mrs. Riley nodded and suddenly said, "It's a pity that the sewer pipe in my house cracked today. It smells so bad! Otherwise, you would have been able to stay a few nights … How about you stay outside for a while? It doesn't matter. I can reimburse you. "
"No, I'll go back to school. There's a place for me to rest." Seeing that Mrs. Riley suddenly distanced herself from him, A Nuo didn't say anything. He lowered his head and said, "I … I'll go back to school first."
"Well … Well, be careful." Mrs. Riley nodded and didn't ask him to stay.
…
"Sir, do we really believe this guy's words?"
In the police car that was far away, a conversation between two police officers began.
"There's nothing to believe or not to believe." The one who was asked said casually, "Let's go to the Great Learning Center and then check the details of Haili. In addition, the deceased's mobile phone is still here. Let's go back and unlock it. Let's check the last communication record … Let's get the results as soon as possible. Then we'll follow the script. "
"Okay."
His companion didn't say anything more. Now the system was in chaos. Several factions had begun to take action, all wanting to grab the vacant position left by Director Jose's death.
At this time, the police officer who was asked suddenly said, "There will be, right?"
"What?"
"There are two brothers. The older one is a bad guy, and the younger one is a future social elite. "
