It was not long before Mr. Kersma received a letter of apology from Memnon, and he just glanced at it, and said to Mrs. Kersma, who was beside him, "This letter was not written by him, but like a lame man, and he cannot write such a beautiful hand." ”

The lame man, who is now the housekeeper by Memnon's side, his real name has long been forgotten, and there are many pseudonyms. The lame man was a nobleman's governess before joining Scarlet Dawn, and his leg was broken by the nobleman's child, who was beaten a dozen times with a wooden stick before breaking it. Since then he has had the nickname that Mr. Kersma has called, Cripple. said that he was lame, but in fact, he couldn't find it if he didn't look closely.

This guy looked weak and weak at the time, but he was actually a ruthless person. At that time, the doctor's statement was that the leg could be saved, but if it was to be lame, he asked the doctor if there was any way to avoid lameness. The doctor told him that if he put a steel bar in it and then used a very thin but strong special steel wire to hold the leg bone in place, it would not look too lame. He agreed, and then crumbled in bed for more than a week.

It's not that it doesn't hurt after a week, but that he can't shout when his voice is hoarse, and since then, everyone respectfully calls him "cripple".

Mrs. Kersma looked at the ornate font on the letter and nodded, "It's indeed lame words, Memnon can't write it, what is written in the letter?"

Mr. Kersma threw the letter to Mrs. Kersma, and then lay down in his easy chair and smoked his pipe in two puffs. When Mrs. Kersma read the letter and asked him what his plans were, a smile appeared on Mr. Kersma's rigid face, "Since he apologized, then forget about it." Facing Mrs. Kersma's contemptuous gaze, Mr. Kersma continued: "He wants to hurt Doolin's bastard son, tell Doolin about this, and let him solve it himself." ”

"If he doesn't do well, he will come back and farm with me, and when the time comes, he will bring back that girl and have a few more children, and his life will be complete. ”

For an older generation like Mr. Kersma, reality is reality and ideals are ideals. In the past, he could risk his life to challenge the corrupt aristocratic notices for the sake of his ideals, but now he is able to drop everything and live the life he wants in the new world.

It's just that Mr. Kersma may not know that Durin is much more capable than he thinks.

In Ilian, Arm has been researching the Juan "suicide" case for a long time, and he feels that the case is not as simple as it seems, or more complicated than he imagined, and he always feels that he may have overlooked something, and he does not dare to easily connect all the circumstantial evidence. Among these clues and circumstantial evidence, the most important link is missing, the link that can directly deal a heavy blow to Durin.

So he put the case aside for the time being and instead took a roundabout approach.

In his hotel room, he was surrounded by agents from the Police Investigation Bureau, who were drawn from elsewhere and drew with charcoal on the snow-white walls of the hotel, wreaking havoc as he wrecked, saying, "I have recently gathered some gossip about Doolin from the citizens of Illion, and I think this will be the strongest evidence of the defeat of Dolin from the side." "Not long ago, the Provincial Elegance wanted to protest against Doolin not using the Provincial Elegance, so they united with the workers' union to launch a demonstration, but then the march did not take place, to find out what happened. ”

"The second point is that Dührin is running a civic organization called the Fellow Townsman Association in Illion and in Turnaire, and I think there may be something hidden in this organization that Doolin is very concerned about, to find out what the members of the Fellow Townspeople Association are doing and what they are doing. ”

"Third, look up this Carter. Some people say that Carter offended the local celebrity Flauce family in Illian, and then his wife left the local area, and the Flears disappeared at the same time, I think there may be a problem here, find out. ”

Amp put down the charcoal in his hand, clapped his palms, took a blackened towel to wipe the toner off his hands, and then said to the detectives present very seriously: "We are not facing an ordinary criminal, he has very superb criminal methods, a very smart mind, and is good at playing with people's hearts. What you think is evidence is not necessarily evidence, and witnesses must be found!"

He looked at his watch, "We're running out of time, and if we can't catch this guy in the next ten days, then he'll most likely get away with the law." Gentlemen, please do justice for the sake of justice!"

After arranging the assignment, Amp continued to study Juan's case, which has now reached a dead end, and the absence of witnesses means that the circumstantial evidence in his hands cannot produce a new definition of Juan's death. Without an executor, there is no way to implicate Duhrin if he can't find this executor. In the past few days, he has identified about forty suspects by comparing all the shoemakers' shops in the city with the only slightly clearer footprints that exist at the scene.

But these people have strong evidence of alibi...... , he frowned and pondered for a while, then dialed the number of the police station.

"What? Are you saying Juan's body hasn't been buried yet?", Ample was a little surprised, as far as he knew, although Juan was bankrupt and owed a lot of money, his family was still there, and Durin didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to collect the debt, leaving his family with a way out. Life may not be as rich and expensive as before, but it is always a little better than ordinary people.

Most of Juan's mortgaged property at that time was his real estate, and he did not mortgage his family's private property, and any piece of jewelry on these rich people could be exchanged for thousands of dollars or more, so his family should be able to live well. Amp thought that Juan had already been buried, and that as long as the Empire refused to allow his family to be buried, most families would bury the dead as soon as possible, so that they could return to God's arms.

But Juan was not buried, which made Amp feel that in addition to something strange, he also had a little more thought. He questioned the police officer who answered the phone, who told him that after Juan's death, his family had not come to claim his body and had not said that he would be buried in the cemetery. The police also provided information that it was said that Juan's children had been dismissed by him some time ago, and that they were on their way back, and that they should wait until the family had gathered before they would consider the issue of burial.

Amp immediately grabbed his clothes and ran to the police station, where he saw Juan with a bloodless face...... It's hard to tell from the outside that this pile of ...... It's Juan. It is difficult for people who jump off the building to maintain their basic original appearance, and when they fall from the building, the huge impact force will make people's heads crack open under the huge impact force, and the limbs will also twist and break in the unconscious wave, and the internal organs of the abdominal cavity may be squeezed out of the gang door, or the skin may be torn and sprayed directly.

Juan's body was in a very bad condition, in addition to the internal organs did not come out, his head was flattened, his limbs were twisted, and most importantly, the clothes on his body were gone.

"Where's his clothes?", Amp glanced at the corpse that had been briefly retracted, and there was no need to continue looking, even if there was any clue that had been destroyed, he pinned his hope on the clothes Juan was wearing at the time.

The police officer quickly handed him the bag containing Juan's belongings, and he rummaged through the evidence room for more than an hour, finding a clue that might or may not be useful.

When he returned his things to the little policeman, he casually asked, "I saw a lot of cigarette butts on the rooftop, does he have a big addiction to smoking?"

The little cop shrugged his shoulders, "Do you think I can understand the habits of these big people?"

Amp thanked him and returned to the morgue and pulled out Juan's tongue, which was blue but had a burnt yellow coating on the surface of the tongue. Amp dug around and found a nail clipper, scraped the charred layer off his tongue, put it in a small bag, and left the police station without changing his face.

Not only did he illegally collect evidence, but he also stole a lighter from one of the exhibits, which he would logically deprive of their legal benefits, but Amp didn't care very much. If necessary, just make up a formality, but now it's just too late.

He first had someone test the brown color on Juan's tongue, then he found the manager of the hotel and asked him about Juan's life. From the hotel manager, he learned that Juan did not smoke, at least not in public, and it was unclear whether he smoked at home.

Amp returned to his room and studied the "stolen" lighter over and over again, and he decided that it was a very valuable lighter, with a small ruby carved into the lion's eyes carved into the lighter's shell in addition to the sterling silver body. There is also a series of numbers at the bottom of the lighter, and the price of such a lighter will definitely not be cheap, which is a major discovery in this case.

He continued to add his clues and chains of evidence, and he had a vague feeling that maybe all the suspicions would soon surface.

The results of the test had come out before eating, those things were cigarette tar, and the cigarette butts on the rooftop should have been smoked by Juan, but he didn't smoke, why did he smoke so many cigarettes on the rooftop in a row? Did Durin say something to him in other ways, and someone else passed him a message, and what did they say to force Juan to jump off the rooftop?
