Chapter 506.

Cheng Mo was writing a script at home, and during this time, there was finally a breather, he had to make up for lost time.

So on the pretext of going home to be with his pregnant wife, he was actually hard at work trying to climb the grid.

The telephone on the desk rang suddenly.

Cheng Mo let it ring for a full half a minute before reaching out and picking it up, “Hello, who is it.”

“Boss, there’s been a shooting at Paramount, a popular dancer is dead.” The call was from Lu Le, very urgent.

“Paradise Gate belongs to the Jing’an Temple arrest house territory, besides, this kind of shooting case is not under the control of the Criminal Unit, the Political Unit doesn’t care about this kind of case!” Cheng Mo said, although the Political Unit has a higher status than the Criminal Unit, it can’t rob people’s cases for no reason.

This kind of murder case or something like that has always belonged to the Criminal Unit.

“Chief, this is a shooting case, the Jing’an Temple Constabulary said that it might be related to the Blue Coat Society’s Weed Squad.” Lu Le said.

“Why all cases are related to the Blue Coat Society, the death is a popular dancer, is it possible that there is a special identity?”

“Identity is not really very special, is that this dancer called Chen Manli, once twice married as a Feng woman ……,” Lv Le explained the identity of the deceased on the phone.

“Who out of the police?”

“Inspector Claire.”

“You drive over and pick me up.” Cheng Mo considered for a while, but still decided to go to the scene, the name Chen Manli, he had some impression in his memory, and there were even more speculations on the cause of death of her murder in the later generations, the most was that she refused to dance with the Japanese, and thus offended the Japanese before she was shot dead.

This was also the reason why Cheng Mo was willing to take on this case.

About half an hour later, Cheng Mo and Lu Le drove to the Paramount Ballroom, where the guests had basically run out.

Who would dare to stay after something like this happened?

Isn’t this asking for trouble?

The large ballroom was a mess, all caused by the stampede after the sudden outbreak of the shooting, the Paramount Ballroom had suffered a lot of losses this time.

“Cheng, you’re here.” Inspector Claire, who was out on police duty, saw Cheng Mo as if he had seen a savior, and immediately left behind the people he was talking to and ran over.

“Claire, what’s going on, a dancer was killed, how is it related to the Blue Dress Society?” Cheng Mo asked.

“The murderer used the most usual Mauser pistol, fired two shots in total, the first shot missed, the second shot hit the most popular dancer of Paramount, Ms. Chen Manli, although Paramount was sent to the nearest Chinese Hospital for rescue at the first time, the person didn’t breathe halfway.” Claire roughly stated the case.

“What time?”

“Around seven forty, the exact time is unclear.”

“How long between the two shots?”

“Half a minute, shouldn’t be more than twenty seconds ……” Claire directly called the manager on duty who was in the ballroom at the time over to answer the question.

“Did you find the marks left by the two shots?”

“That’s natural.” Claire nodded, he was also the one who worked as an inspector, the investigation of the crime scene was his responsibility.

So he led Cheng Mo to the bullet mark left by the first shot, the bullet left a bullet mark on a granite stone wrapped column elevation. “Cheng, from the angle left by this bullet mark and the traces, we surmised where the killer fired.” Claire pulled Cheng Mo backward.

It was almost more than ten meters away.

In fact, the effective distance of a pistol was about twenty to thirty meters, and if the quality of the gun wasn’t high, ten meters would already be pretty good.

The bullet marks were shallow enough to show that the kinetic energy of the bullet wasn’t strong, the lethality was limited, and if it couldn’t hit the vitals, it basically wouldn’t be much of a problem.

“Where’s the slug, did you find it?”

“No, when the gun went off, there were too many people, naturally although it didn’t hit anyone, it didn’t know where it flew to, my people searched carefully and couldn’t find it.” Claire said.

“It should still be in this ballroom, based on the bullet’s graze on the pillar, it can be analyzed to determine the direction of the slug flying out, if we find the slug, we can do a lot of technical analysis.” Cheng Mo said.

Why wouldn’t Claire know this, but only if the warhead was found.

Of course, there was another warhead that was in the body of the dancer, Chen Manli, and analysis could be done based on that warhead as well, but now that the person was dead, the warhead would inevitably remain in their body, and if they wanted to remove the warhead, they would inevitably need to get the consent of the family to do so.

In criminal cases, the police station certainly has the power of enforcement, but the other party is a popular dancer, the pillar of the Parade, which will need to be communicated.

If this one slug was found, it would save a lot of trouble.

“Issue a reward for clues, although the lights in the ballroom were obscure when the case happened, but maybe someone saw the shooter’s face clearly, as long as the shooter is found, this case will naturally be cleared up.” Cheng Mo also casually looked to see if he was lucky enough to find the bullet head.

Obviously, Claire’s men had searched every inch of this side of the area and couldn’t find it, so how could he find it with a casual look was obviously unlikely.

This east and west of the card seat, the chair is collapsed all over the place, broken legs can be quite a lot, to replace this batch of tables and chairs, it is estimated that the Paramount will have to spend a lot, not to mention, the impact of the case, the next want to restore the original feast, that really need a little time.

Everyone is to play, even if it is to seek excitement, that is not to seek death, Paramount Ballroom if you can not give the guests security, that the next business can not do.

“This will be released first thing tomorrow.” Claire nodded.

“Inspector Claire, this case of Chen Manli, did you call me over to transfer the case to the Political Unit for investigation, or do you just want me to help you?” Cheng Mo asked.

“Cheng, your ability to solve cases is very impressive, I want to ask you to help me.” Claire said after thinking for a while.

“If this case is really related to the Blue Clothes Society, then according to the rules of the Patrol Office, it will have to be taken over by the Political Unit, and of course, you can assist in cooperating with the investigation, and the credit will not be lost.” Cheng Mo said.

“No problem, everything is at your disposal.” Claire nodded and said, such a tricky case, it’s best if it’s solved, if it’s not solved, it’s good to find someone to take the blame together.

Don’t say that the British are stupid, the British are actually not stupid.

Claire’s mind, Cheng Mo is naturally like a fire, Chen Manli’s case is also a lot of different later generations, the legend of the most, is that she refused to give the Japanese accompanied by the dance, only to be killed.

Although it is a dancer, but also has the national character, which is much stronger than many men.

Of course, there are also said Chen Manli is a military intelligence agent, is not impossible, not there is a dancer agent shot 76 traitor agent precedent? If Chen Manli is a junta agent, then who killed her is even more suspicious.
