World War I

Chapter 143 Immediate Arrest
After drinking half a bottle of wine, his head felt a little hot and his nerve endings were a little excited. He looked at the time, left the bar, and waited for the autopsy results at the hospital door.

After waiting for two hours, Yekalinan finally came out.

"There were no external injuries, no sexual assault before death, no alcohol in her blood, no poisons, she was healthy, it's unlikely she died of illness, she died between 1 and 3 a.m. this morning, that's all."

Yekalinan handed over the autopsy report, Luo Ye took it and flipped through it.

"It's difficult to know the cause of death. Can you determine the time of death? That's very important."

"I can confirm that it was between one and three in the morning. I'm sure of that. Please take me back to the police station."

"Ok."

It was the first time that Luo Ye was alone with her in the police car. The atmosphere was very dull. Luo Ye wanted to talk about some topics that interested her, but Yekalin's reaction was simply unbearable.

No sound, at most a "hmm" or "really?" or "oh."

When they were almost at the police station, Yekalinan suddenly said, "Give me back the nesting doll."

The police car squeaked.

"What are you doing? Road rage is good, there are few vehicles, what does it mean to be swaying?"

Luo Ye said: "Is it shaking? There are rocks on the road. I am avoiding them. Otherwise, it is easy for people to get a flat tire."

Yekalin said nothing more.

The police car stopped in the parking lot. Yekalin opened the door, got out, and walked towards the laboratory alone. Luo Ye hoped so much that she would look back, but unfortunately, she didn't.

"Sheriff, you're interested in Yekalin An, right? She's also the director. Just give up on that idea."

Sonya stood by the detention room, gloating.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"If you can't help it, go find Chris. She can help you solve your animal desire problem."

"What are you talking about? Believe it or not, I will deduct your wages!"

"It's useless to threaten me. I don't accept your threats. Mark has been waiting for you in your office for a long time."

"And his witnesses?"

"The colonel went to handle it. He worked harder than anyone else. Andre from the investigation committee put too much pressure on him."

Luo Ye was not in a hurry to meet Mark. The cause of Mary Hayes' death was too strange, which increased Luo Ye's suspicion of Mark. If Mary Hayes was killed by Mark, then Mark would definitely make a perfect alibi. Moreover, at the murder scene, all footprints, fingerprints, and subtle traces would be invalid. Simple means of solving the case would no longer work. Think about it, the bear was so difficult to deal with, let alone Mark. The most direct breakthrough was with the witness, which was a weakness that Mark could not fully control, unless he really played bridge all night and found someone else to kill the person.

"You won't interrogate me?"

"Why do I need to interrogate you? I believe you won't kill the one you love. You're getting married soon, so I'd better start with something else. You can join in, too. She's your woman."

At nine o'clock in the evening, Dr. Stein and Luo Ye were drinking tea at the sheriff's office.

"Where is Turgenev? He's not answering the phone, and I don't know where he is. One-Eye and Pan haven't come back either, and the helicopter isn't at the police station. I feel like something's wrong."

"What did you tell the colonel to do?"

"Go check Mark's witnesses."

The doctor adjusted his glasses and said, "Although I've only known you and Colonel Turgenev for a short time, I don't want anything to happen to you. Colonel Turgenev suffered a huge blow at the base, and almost all the team members he brought with him were killed. I understand his feelings, but please don't do anything stupid."

The roar of a helicopter sounded over the police station.

"As soon as you mention it, he will appear immediately!"

The helicopter landed steadily, Turgenev jumped out of the cabin, and One-Eye and Pan escorted a man off the helicopter.

"One-eyed police officer, what's going on?"

"I've learned something. This guy lied and gave false testimony, but—"

One-Eye hesitated. Luo Ye said, "What happened?" "The sales manager was thrown off a cliff by Turgenev. We went to the cliff. The old man was so scared that he finally admitted it."

Luo Ye slapped his forehead, "Oh my God, this is too extreme."

The person who was brought back was Casey Harper, the director of the Great River Brewery in Kursk. At the moment, his body was still shaking a little, probably because he was frightened.

"I'll take responsibility for anything that happens. I'm going to arrest Mark now!"

"Colonel, don't be impulsive!"

"Why are you so impulsive? There's something wrong with Mark. It's a big problem. Arrest him and I'll interrogate him."

Before Luo Ye could say anything, Turgenev boarded the helicopter.

"Hurry, move, go to his residence, Apartment 13 Stephen Street!"

The police car sped towards the apartment. Inside, Luo Ye was furious: "They threw someone off a cliff, and you didn't stop them?"

"I can't stop it."

"Strange, why did you two obey Turgenev's orders?"

"He paid us. We went there for the money. He was just threatening us at the time, but we didn't expect him to be serious. Sheriff, what should we do? Will we be implicated? The sales manager is gone. Just like Sam, he fell and disappeared."

"No brains, no fucking brains, let's catch Mark first!"

"What if he arrests me?"

"Shoot him, don't kill him."

"Roger that. Don't ask Chief Knuckles?"

"What the hell are you asking? I'm the sheriff. Haven't you learned the police's rules?"

Luo Ye gave the order without thinking, the order to shoot immediately if Mark was arrested. However, this order did not scare Mark, but instead made the two male police officers have some thoughts in their hearts.

This sheriff is a bit fierce.

Luo Ye arrived at the apartment and rushed upstairs alone, leaving Panzi to block their retreat downstairs.

There was a loud bang and a fierce kick. Luo Ye covered his face with his hands. His foot was swollen and the door could not be opened.

"Fuck me!"

He fired several shots at the door lock, and the door was kicked open by Luo Ye when the lock was broken.

"No one, this guy is not here."

"Call him!"

One-Eye called Mark on his cell phone and said, "It's turned off. He must be the murderer. He's on the run. He got wind of it. We're a step too late."

Luo Ye slammed the table with the butt of his gun. "Find him, find him for me. He is the key figure."

"The town is so big, we——"

"We have to look for them even if there are only a few people. Call out Sonya and Chris and start looking!"

"If he intended to escape, he would have disappeared long ago."

Luo Ye pinched his chin and kicked over a stool. "How did he get the news? Who leaked the information?"

"I don't know. Maybe he wasn't in the apartment in the first place. He was somewhere else."

Downstairs, Panzi waited for a long time but Mark didn't show up. "Where's Mark?"

"It ran away, disappeared, and was not caught."

Luo Ye thought of Turgenev. He came to the apartment in a helicopter, which was definitely faster than a police car. Where did this thing go?
