Why it never ends

Chapter 1176 Police
She could not imagine how these seemingly timid and quiet women could have created such a brutal crime scene.

……

The next morning, the third deceased was found by patrolling police.

The victim this time was the farm's old accountant, who was hanged under a sycamore tree. Judging from the direction of his toes, he had been strangled before being hung on the tree. Compared with the previous two victims, his death was quite ordinary. The murderer simply used a thick hemp rope to kill him cleanly. Apart from that, there were no signs of torture. Judging from the time of death of the body, he was killed at about the same time as the previous victims, around nine o'clock.

The whole farm was in an uproar: three days, three bodies, the last one even appeared under the police's inspection, and the victims were all men in the settlement south of the farm - the laborers who could live in this area all had some status in the farm, which was completely different from those shack dwellers.

The police began to investigate the whereabouts of the deceased last night. After questioning, several policemen could not help but scold him for what he deserved. The old accountant always lived alone. He and several friends had planned to go to a nearby town to drink last night, but the other friends were worried about the bloody incidents in the past few days and were unwilling to go. He scolded several friends and left the farm on his bicycle at around 5 o'clock in the evening... This was the last time everyone saw him.

This dramatic result was like a warning bell, hitting the hearts of every farm man. The police began to repeatedly order all residents in the settlement not to go out at night, especially men. This does not mean that women are safer, but judging from the current deaths, the murderer seems to have a special liking for farm men.

The news quickly reached the palace, along with some speculations - the farm seemed to be increasingly convinced that the murder was related to the whales that Hesta had taken in. Someone told Santa about this and asked her what she thought, but Santa scolded the person and warned him not to talk about such groundless things again.

To be fair, Santa also felt that these whales were unclean, but that was a metaphysical intuition. These women with tattoos on their foreheads were always unlucky. If something bad happened on the farm, no one could guarantee that they had nothing to do with it. If Santa still lived on the farm, she would definitely join the crusade and drive these whales out of the farm.

But to say that they committed a crime? Santa didn't even bother to refute it. She saw that these women had a hard time killing chickens, and they still killed -

As soon as this thought came to her mind, she immediately thought of the woman, Sangonde, who was killing a chicken in the kitchen the day before yesterday afternoon.

Santa shuddered involuntarily, but immediately suppressed these crazy thoughts. Seeing that Hesta, who had left the palace for a short time yesterday afternoon, personally led the police to investigate today, she also hurried forward to see if there was anything she could do to help.

Santa always believed that such a dirty thing would never happen in a place like the palace.

……

Hesta did not take the arrival of these policemen seriously. After dealing with the police station here last time because of the tongue-cutting incident, she had a general idea of ​​the level of the policemen in Emmanlia - these people were just robbers in uniform, just like the policemen she encountered in the first few nights when she came to District 12.

These people need money, fame, status, and recognition from their superiors and other powerful people...The only thing they don't care about is their duties as police officers.

Hesta had no intention of flattering them to shake off suspicion, nor did she intend to rebuke these people for actually finding her. She coldly explained her absence yesterday afternoon - after all, she went into the city to meet the emperor and Duke Kovichik. At this point, the tone of the detective on the other side softened. He smiled and said that he heard that Governor Arevalo and Baron Trion were also in the palace at the moment. Hesta immediately stopped him and said, "This is not something that can be discussed publicly." The other party immediately understood and nodded repeatedly.

However, just as she and her group were passing by the whale people's dormitory, a young policeman suddenly stopped.

"Who lives in this room?" asked the policeman.

Hesta turned around and saw a young face. She wondered if she had seen this person at the scene of the tongue cutting case before, because this person's face looked familiar. "She is a female worker I specially recruited." Hesta replied.

"That's the whale man." The young man looked Hesta in the eye. "Open the door. We need to check."

Hesta's eyes revealed obvious displeasure, but the young man did not give up. Instead, he stared at Hesta: "Please cooperate with the investigation."

"Don't mind me, Inspector. This is our trainee agent. He has a bad temper..."

"Please watch your words, Chief Achman. I am just handling the case normally and performing my duties," the young man interrupted the detective. She looked at Hesta again, "Please open the door."

"Kral!" The chief detective lowered his voice, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You have no right to order me around," the young man said. "Chief Inspector, you are not my direct superior. If I behave out of line, please write it down and report it to Inspector Andre."

The detective's face suddenly turned red. Hesta glanced at the young man in front of him and reached out to press the door handle: "Come in, the door is not locked."

……

Later that day, Jia Heduolei and Lu Qizhen secretly went to the attic where Chloe was imprisoned.

Several people looked down from the window and saw a group of policemen leaving from the main gate, some got on cars, some got on motorcycles. Jiahoduolei talked about the rumors she had heard in the past few days, and Chloe and Lu Qizhen obviously didn't believe that those sensitive things were related to whale people.

"Speaking of the police," Lu Qizhen supported his face with one hand and suddenly sighed, "I was worried that my boyfriend would come after me the next day..."

Chloe was slightly startled - she had been thinking about how to end the confinement as soon as possible these days and had completely forgotten about Lu Qizhen's trip.

"What about him?" Chloe asked. "Looking at the way he is, I don't think he will stop now, right?"

"It's unlikely," Lu Qizhen said softly, "He is now imprisoned in the city prison, and his cell phone and other belongings have all been confiscated."

"Caught?" Chloe screamed, then laughed happily and clapped her hands. "Well done, well done. It's rare that these police officers do something serious."

"It's the 12th District Theater after all," Lu Qizhen scratched his head. "Yesterday Hesta told me that the police asked her whether she wanted bail, and she came to ask for my opinion... Hey, I'm a little bit..."

Gahodore finally raised her head with some concern: "Do the police listen to Hesta so much?"
