Why it never ends

Chapter 139 Three Inferences
"Then you just—"

Pauler's face flushed red, and he was a little unable to speak the second half of the sentence.

"Just now?" Si Lei was puzzled. She looked at the place where she had just stood, "I was in a daze just now, didn't I do anything?"

Paula looked at Si Lei, and couldn't tell the truth of what she said for a while, but it seemed that since the afternoon when Si Lei appeared in his office, he was stunned by this person's routine.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Pauler adjusted his sitting posture without saying a word, and read the materials prepared by Su Lei together with the others.

When the door of the conference room was opened again, the only sound left in the room was the sound of pages turning.

Only then did Su Lei sit down.

She fully understands why Tanyi City Police Department's case-handling progress is the current state of tactical diligence and strategic laziness-Pauler is nearly sixty years old, and he will be honorably retired at the end of this year.

During his tenure, there were almost no murders in Tanyi City, so the detection rate of major and important cases of the Tanyi City Police Department has always been among the best in the third district.

Today, Pauler is about to retire, but suddenly there are such shocking changes that may cost him his life at the end of the year. Of course, he wants to push this case to AHgAs.

but it does not matter.

It wasn't until this moment that Su Lei really relaxed into his own rhythm.

She will pick up this hot potato in the eyes of others.

She desperately needs this opportunity.

……

In the middle of the night, Qianye saw the update on the case of Tan Yi Police Station that day from her own information channel.

After only a cursory glance, Chiba's anger flared up again: Su Lei set up a special investigation team for the 'Hoffman case' this afternoon, and at the same time, she made a request to AHgAs in the name of the investigation team, hoping that here Details of Jane Hester can be given as soon as possible.

Because, according to the testimony of Viscount Rich and others, Jane Hesta, who entered the Mercury Needle Reserve Training Base in Tanyi City many years ago, is suspected of committing a major crime.

Fernan in Nigeria died, Ava said it was Jane who killed him, and now that Hoffman in Tanyi is dead, they also insisted that Jane killed it—fortunately, Office 004 gave Si Lei a reply that night :
Jane Hesta is performing a special mission, which can be approximated as not having been active in the habitable area of ​​the third district recently, please exclude her from the list of suspects.

Qianye laughed, it seems that she really has to thank Ava——

If it wasn't for Ava's order to imprison Jane early, I don't know what crimes will continue to fall on Jane in the future!
It’s just that Chiba really can’t understand the reason: since the turmoil in 4623, the name of Jane Hester and herself have completely disappeared from the public eye—this even includes many subsequent cross-regional In order to strictly keep the secret of trapping the aberrants, Jane's identity is kept secret internally.

But why all of a sudden, so many people and so many incidents are pointing the finger at Jane?

Qianye forced herself to calm down and read the relevant documents of the police station. After reading the first page, she had to leave the studio temporarily and go to the balcony to blow the cold wind for a while, until she felt that she had calmed down a little. Then I continued to sit back at my desk and read the full text.

After repeatedly reading the relevant records of the police station, she noticed some potentially useful information:

First of all, Viscount Rich and others insisted that the murderer who killed Fernand and the murderer who killed Hoffman must be the same person. These are two clear vendettas, and they must not be treated as two independent cases.

Although these individuals' identification of Jane has been denied by Office 004, this piece of information is available.

After all, if the murderer in the two cases is really the same person, then as long as it is proved that Hesta did not have the conditions to kill Hoffman, it is equivalent to proving that she is not the murderer in the Fernand case.

During this period of time, Ava's imprisonment of Jane just ensured Jane's innocence in the Hoffman case.

However, the problem with this logic chain is that the Viscount and the others are vague about "why they insist that the murderer of the two murders is the same person", they just swear like crazy, but refuse to disclose any details.

The nobles in these livable places obviously concealed many things on purpose. For example, it is obvious that Hoffman is the only victim of the murder case at present, but Viscount Rishi and others are sure that they will follow Hoffman soon. In the footsteps of , he died suddenly after receiving 12 photos.

They repeatedly emphasized that 12 is an important number.

But why does it matter?
These men are tight-lipped about it.

Chiba quickly included this matter in her important to-do list.

Second, it was Si Lei's reasoning on the existing clues.

The Viscount suffered great fright after receiving the first photo, and set up strict precautions inside and outside his mansion that day. Perhaps because of this reason, the second photo sent by the murderer did not appear in the mailbox of the Viscount Mansion, but It was handed over to him by a tavern owner he knew well.

It can be seen that at that time, the murderer was very concerned about whether the Viscount received the photo.

However, in the next few days, the murderer did not choose the similar "must arrive" method to send the photos - it seems that at this time, the murderer didn't care much about whether the Viscount received the photos.

In this regard, Su Lei has several speculations:

First, perhaps what the murderer cared about was not the photo itself, but the continuity of the first two photos.

If the Viscount received the first photo and there was no further information, then neither the police nor he could determine whether it was a repeat of the Hoffman case or a simple prank.

Therefore, it is very important whether the first two photos can reach the Viscount smoothly.

Secondly, another fact is: only two photos of the four days from October 10th to 24th have been found so far, maybe the delivery of the murderer was interrupted, maybe TA left the photos in some strange place, the viscount and The police haven't found them yet.

But no matter what the possibility is, we seem to be able to make this judgment for the time being: Although the murderer prepared the preview photos in advance, when Viscount Rishi began to be fully armed and the police in Tanyi searched for suspects throughout the city, the murderer temporarily In the trade-off between "adventure to post photos to obvious places" and "prioritize keeping yourself from being discovered", I chose the latter.

Since the main purpose of sending the photos is to send a definite notice of the torture to the victim, the current two photos have achieved their purpose, and whether the Viscount can see the photos in time is not so important.

However, if the content of the photo itself is not important, why did the murderer choose the form of "photo" as a clue?

Judging from the existing photos, every photo taken by the murderer of the victim has a strange angle and is very random. The pictures in some photos are not clear at all, and sometimes even the main characters in the pictures are incomplete.

For example, in the photos Hoffman received, there were only a few parts in the frame, and the other parts were not captured.If it weren't for the multiple confirmations of clothing, location, and the person's trajectory that day, the police might not be able to tell who the person in the photo is at all.

However, every photo here contains very clear geographical information: Even the close-up close-up of Hoffman sitting on the back seat of the car, the murderer deliberately photographed the nearby dark blue lampposts— —Since it is a street lamp style only on the main road of the central axis of Tanyi City, the police quickly confirmed the location of the photo through this clue.

This is Su Lei's third inference: the murderer is trying to convey some information through the screen.

Each of these photos is like a string of ciphertexts without a key, and no one can decipher its plaintext for the time being.

People only know that the murderer's terrifying and vicious face is hidden behind these pictures.

TA is in silence, laughing sharply at everyone.

　Have you seen a fan in the comment section of this book, whose name is "Reunion", I have refined it.

　　(;ω;｀) It is so well drawn, not only well drawn, my nose was sour when I first saw it.The moment in the picture is the reunion of Hesta and Liz, and the reflection is the two chatting on the bench on the tree-lined road of the base. The time at the base is as bright as the picture in the reflection, but after leaving the base, This gray world is slowly revealing its cruel corner.

　　(;ω;｀) Thanks to @赛博女宝 for the creation, everyone can go to the comment area to have a look.
