Chapter 497: The Clouds of a Small Town (8)
The bar was not open, and it was said that it would not open until 10 o'clock, and now it was only 8 o'clock.
Originally, An Yizhi did not rush to the police station to read the information about the disappearance case, because the police had no clue after three months of investigation, and the usefulness of those materials can be imagined. In addition, you can go to see it at any time anyway, so there is no need to run in a hurry.
But not now, Fielding is dead, James has been kicked out of the investigation team, and the materials stored in Fielding's office will soon be moved elsewhere, and it will be difficult to read it at that time.
I have to say that the system is quite struggling with the balance of players' strength, and when they didn't have any clues, they could still use the power of the police to work through Fielding's connections, but with a clue, Fielding actually hung up.
This directly leads to the fact that the entire police force cannot be borrowed, not to mention weak, but not as strong as yesterday.
Everyone drove to the police station, hoping that the archivist would not move so quickly.
On the way, An Yizhi didn't waste so much time, he took out his notepad, looked at the clues he recorded on it, and thought hard.
Investigating the gas station is tedious and potentially dangerous, so I asked the NPC to investigate this matter.
Logically speaking, a serial killer is already dangerous, but this disappearance case is obviously not as simple as a serial killer, and compared to the latter two, a serial killer can only be regarded as a pediatric.
For the other two groups of killers, Ann pointed out that the direction of their current investigation is to follow the path of Fielding's death, and there was no evidence of their existence in the first place, but as soon as Fielding died, the evidence came.
This is indeed somewhat ironic.
There's an old saying that if you don't know, you can't do it unless you do. Any crime, no matter how meticulously planned, will still leave traces, and if you follow a little clue to investigate, you will definitely be able to find the person behind the scenes.
But the problem is that An Yizhi has very few clues at hand, so few that it makes people cry.
A phone number, the voices of two men could be heard in the background, with chainsaws and the very inconspicuous beep of an ambulance passing by.
That's all the clues.
The sound of the chainsaw is very simple, which means that the other party should work in a place where the chainsaw is often used, generally speaking, only decorators or lumberjacks use it back, and An Yizhi prefers the latter.
The small town of Sparnet is famous for its timber, so it's highly likely that the other party is a lumberjack.
But the bad thing is that there are dozens of logging yards near Sparn, and there is no way to pinpoint where they are, so you can't ask them one by one, so even if you ask, the other party will probably not admit it honestly.
With a sigh, Ann closed the notepad with one finger.
If you can use the official background to find out which lumber yard the ambulance passed by today, it should be possible to narrow down the lockdown significantly, and if you are lucky, you may be able to find the exact location directly.
But it's not interesting to talk about this now, anyway, the system just doesn't plan to let players take advantage of it, and they can really use the official background, so they don't have to act too easily.
The system is full of bad fun, he doesn't give the player a big advantage, and he doesn't put the player in a completely desperate situation, and what this guy loves most is to watch the players run for their lives.
The car slowly stopped at the door of the police station, and An Yi glanced at it, feeling that there were not many people entering and leaving the police station, and perhaps most of the police officers had been driven to patrol the streets.
With James with them, they managed to infiltrate the police station without much effort.
An Yizhi had the intention of asking James to help with a few guns and the like to enhance his combat effectiveness, but after thinking about it, the management of firearms in the police station is very strict, and he has to write a report explaining how many bullets he fires.
Take the stairs to the second floor, which is supposed to be where the police work, but now there are very few people sitting at their desks, and most of the police are out.
"Hey, James."
A chubby guy stood in the way, and he seemed to know James.
"I've heard about the boss, it's really unfortunate, I think we'll make the murderer pay."
"Thanks, I'm so much more perked."
The two talked for a while, and the fat cop looked at the three players behind James:
"Who are they?"
"Oh, they're friends with the chief, come to the chief's office to help get something, ma'am...... You know. ”
Fielding's wife was taken to the hospital due to excessive grief, and news of Fielding's death soon spread throughout the police station.
"Oh, that's fine, but you need to hurry."
The fat policeman looked left and right and whispered to them:
"Thomson's philistine guy has long wanted to replace the leader, and if he sees it, I'm afraid he will get you in trouble."
"Well, let's get it as soon as possible."
The fat cop patted James on the shoulder, then took a glass of water and returned to his seat as he normally would.
It seems that the police station is probably not monolithic.
This is also normal, people work in the police station, and as long as there are people, there will definitely be disputes.
These things have nothing to do with An Yizhi and them, at most, pay attention to the fact that there are no ghosts in the police station, and other tricks are meaningless at all.
Fielding's office was large, and it was evident that his status in the police department was not low.
The room was relatively tidy, except that there were very few things that belonged to Fielding, and they only saw a few pictures and some potted plants that might belong to him.
Of course, it doesn't matter, the purpose of Ann is information.
So as soon as he entered the door, Ann pointed to the most conspicuous filing cabinet.
"Alas, sure enough, it's still a step too late."
When I opened the drawer, all the materials in the filing cabinet were gone. The cop named Thomson was too quick to act.
"Maybe there's one in the other cupboard."
The brave invincible doesn't want to give up so quickly.
"Well, let's look for it."
Ann turned to James at the door and said:
"Can you help us get a set of tools for forensics?"
"Well, I'll try, you know I'm just a rookie cop, and a lot of people in the bureau don't know each other."
"It's okay, try your best."
The main purpose of forensic tools is to make it easier to collect clues in the future, and in the middle of the 20th century, there were already many forensic methods, and it was possible to find clues from fingerprints and bloodstains.
The two of them were still busy in front of the filing cabinets, and they pulled out each cabinet to look at it, although they still found nothing.
An Yizhi came to Fielding's desk and sat down, casually pulling open the drawer while crossing Erro's legs.
If the file was really taken away by Thomson, it is estimated that there would be nothing left in the desk drawer, and An Yizhi did not report any hope.
"Huh? Feel...... It seems to be a bit of a discord. ”
Pulling open the largest drawer and seeing that there was nothing inside, An Yizhi was about to push it back, but found something abnormal.
He leaned down and saw that the planks under the drawers seemed to be much thicker than the others.
Reaching out and pressing it in the drawer, he picked up the metal ruler in the pen holder and measured it.
It feels right, the planks under the large drawers are indeed thicker than the others.
He pulled out the largest drawer and put it on the table, which made the anomaly even more obvious, the paint under the drawer was obviously different from the paint on the handle, although the color should be the same, but the paint below was relatively new, so it was relatively conspicuous.
Groping his fingers along the edge of the drawer, he finally found a slightly upturned plank, like a small opening.
Take the ruler and scrape, and some almost translucent flocculent will appear on the ruler.
"Glued together? And it's also a hot melt adhesive? ”
Maybe there's something down there.
Realizing this, Ann pointed up the drawer and used a ruler as a knife from the opening, peeling the wooden board from the drawer little by little.
With the mournful sound of a thin plank, it took three or five minutes for An Yizhi to finally open it.
He guessed correctly, there was a secret compartment under the drawer, which contained four or five pieces of paper and a few photographs.
"What's that?"
Leave the grass on the plain and ask.
An Yizhi glanced at it a few times and replied:
"It should be evidence of a crime, this guy's name is Falk. Davide is a drug dealer. ”
The evidence hidden under the drawer was so detailed, along with clear photographs of the dealer's deal, that it was enough to send him to prison.
"Drug dealers? Then why didn't Fielding arrest him? Is he so hard to catch? ”
The brave are invincible and incomprehensible.
"I'm afraid, it's not that I can't catch him, but I don't want to catch him."
Combined with Fielding's move to hide this part of the evidence, An Yizhi boldly guessed:
"I guess Fielding used this evidence to control this drug dealer, and this hapless guy may have been taken undercover by Fielding."
This is not uncommon, and many police officers, especially veteran ones, have some dealings with offenders who can be exploited in the event of a crime.
It's just that this kind of behavior belongs to the gray edge, and if it is not good, it is easy to be ruined.
An Yizhi tucked the found evidence into his arms, and then put the drawer back in its place, trying not to make people see the problem.
"This drug dealer may be able to take advantage of it, since he is Fielding's informant, now as long as he gets this evidence, he can also be our informant, the question is how to find him."
The evidence found in the dark compartment at the bottom of the drawer does not indicate that this is called Faulk. Where is Davide's guy, let alone the phone number, not even the range of activities.
The brave invincible is still a little unrelieved, this jealous guy can't accept the cooperation of the police and criminals, even if it is to catch worse criminals.
"Don't worry, when he's useless, we'll make this evidence public."
Hearing An Yizhi say this, the brave invincible face improved.
"Hey, guys, look what I found."
At this point, James went and returned, carrying a box in his hand.
"There are luminol reagents, fingerprint collection paper, and all kinds of tools have been cleaned."
James grinned and said teasingly:
"I took it secretly while the people in the forensics department weren't paying attention."
"It won't cause you any trouble."
Naturally, the brave are invincible, and An Yizhi will not care about NPCs.
"No, just return it when you're done."
It is estimated that even if there is no major trouble, James will have to write a lot of repentance afterwards.
An Yizhi opened the door of the police station under the shutters and looked at it, and then said:
"Guys, I think it's time for us to leave, I saw Thomson enter the police station."
