Chapter 1426.
“Deputy Ronan…” in the sheriff’s office located on the third floor, which was also the top floor of the police station, Ford. Hamill inquired with a bland expression, “How have you been feeling in the police station this time?”
Ronan, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, “Pretty good.”
Quite good.
This answer made the corner of Sergeant Ford’s eye twitch.
He didn’t like Luo Nan, not at all!
As for the reason for the antipathy, first of all, Claremont, a senior police detective of the Sellis Main Police Department, was none other than Ford. Hamill’s old friend of many years, the two had fought side by side and formed a deep friendship.
Because of Ronan’s relationship, Claremont had been demoted to the rank of an ordinary police officer, and his decades of hard work had been ruined!
Now Ronan ran to Ford. Now that Luo Nan came to intern under Ford Hamill, how could he give Luo Nan a good look?
In addition, Luo Nan became a deputy sheriff at a young age, thinking about his own life and death until now is only a sheriff, how can Ford Hamill’s heart? How can Ford Hamill’s heart be balanced?
The sheriff was even more depressed, even though he took an indifferent and antipathetic attitude towards Luo Nan, and influenced all the police officers to isolate Luo Nan.
As a result, Luo Nan didn’t care at all, so calm and steady that he was comparable to a veteran official of many years, with a mindset so good that he didn’t look like a young man at all.
Every day he lived a life of touching fish, and was still very comfortable!
Ford. Of course, Ford Hamill could let Luo Nan mix like this until the end of the internship, and then give him a big bad review.
The problem was, Ford. The problem was, Ford Hamill already knew that this young deputy sheriff trainee had a close relationship with Gustav Rhein. The problem was that Ford Hamill already knew that this young deputy sheriff trainee had a close relationship with Gustav Rhein, and that he had been arranged by the Lion Count to work in the Old Harbor District.
Even if he gave him a failing grade, wouldn’t he be able to change the file?
The answer was obviously no!
Therefore, Ford. Hamill decided to change his strategy against Luo Nan.
He opened the drawer and took out a file, throwing it in front of Luo Nan: “Then this case is yours.”
Luo Nan took the file and read through it.
It was a murder case that happened five days ago, and the victims were Levi. The victims were Levi Bauer’s family, he as well as his wife and two children were all killed at home.
Since the murderer’s modus operandi was extremely sophisticated and left no useful clues, the investigation was at a standstill.
In fact, similar cases have happened more than once in the old harbor area, basically all of them are included in the unsolved cases, and then the relevant files are sunk into the archives until forgotten by everyone.
Levi Bauer was a small workshop owner. Levi Bauer is a small workshop owner, in the old harbor district is considered to be a rich family.
At the time of the murder, his house was ransacked without a single coin!
Therefore this extermination case was first defined as a home invasion robbery and murder case.
Luo Nan finished reading the document and said dryly, “Good.”
Ford. Hamill gave him a deep look, then rang the table bell and instructed his secretary to call a detective in.
“Detective Cash.”
Ford. Hamill instructed the middle-aged detective, “The Levi Bauer extermination case is now in the hands of the police. The extermination of Levi Bauer is now in the hands of Deputy Ronan, and you are responsible for assisting in the detection.”
Detective Cash looked at Ronan, then at the sheriff, and replied stiffly, “Yes, sir.”
The depression in his heart really couldn’t be described in words.
During this past period of time, Luo Nan had always been one of the focal points of conversation among the officers of the Fourth Police Station, and Detective Cash had also told his fellow officers about this young trainee deputy sheriff.
Everyone agreed that Ronan would definitely not be able to make it in the Fourth Police Station.
It was only a matter of time.
There were even bets that Luo Nan lasted a few days before breaking out.
Unexpectedly, now he was actually going to work with Luo Nan on a case, and the case he was handling was also the Levi Bauer extermination case! Bauer extermination case!
As the first handler of this case, Detective Cash knew very well how tricky it was.
Now with the addition of Luo Nan, he vaguely felt that he had the tendency to become cannon fodder.
Of course, on the surface, this detective was still courteous to Luo Nan, “Sir, please order.”
Without the slightest bit of politeness, Luo Nan got up and said, “Now take me to the crime scene.”
He rushed at Ford. Hamill with a nod, then got up and left the office.
Detective Cash hesitated for a moment, and his gaze went to Sergeant Ford.
The latter ended up leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes.
Detective Cash gritted his teeth and followed Ronan out of the room.
The two of them exited the police station and then got on their bicycles to head to the crime scene.
Although this world had automobiles long ago, this kind of advanced transportation also belonged to luxury goods in Ceres, and only a few nobles and merchants owned them.
Most people relied on horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws, and bicycles for their daily travel.
The fourth police station had issued bicycles to all detectives, and Ronan also owned a ride even though he was a trainee deputy sheriff.
In fact, bicycles were very practical and convenient in the crowded streets and alleys.
The murder scene was located on the fifth floor of an apartment building, and since the case was still in the investigative stage, Levi Bauer’s home was still under guard. Bauer’s home is still cordoned off with police tape to keep people out.
There was no longer a body inside the apartment room, but the dried blood at the scene was still shocking.
Ronan compared the photos and recreated the image in his mind of the time of the crime.
Levi. The four members of the Levi Bauer family died a horrible death, but there were no traces of fighting at the scene, and the weapon used by the murderer was determined to be a short knife after the autopsy, except for Levi Bauer, who was killed with a single knife. Except for Levi Bauer, they were all killed by a single knife.
Levi Bauer was stabbed hundreds of times. Levi Bauer was stabbed hundreds of times – the murderer obviously did not want him to die a quick death!
In addition, the murder took place in the middle of the night, and the residents of the same apartment did not notice anything strange that night.
Even the apartment’s superintendent knew nothing about it.
With no murder weapon, no traces, and no witnesses, a case like this is undoubtedly extremely difficult to solve!
The murderer’s strength was that he didn’t even leave footprints.
“We suspect it’s a Transcendent.”
Detective Cash said after Luo Nan had finished reading, “Doing it so cleanly, it’s very much like an assassin’s methods, but we can’t be 100% sure, after all, the clues are just too few.”
Ronan thought about it and asked, “Have you guys investigated Levi. Bauer?”
“Investigated.”
Detective Cash hurriedly replied, “The family came to Ceres from abroad five years ago, and Levi. Bauer opened a small workshop after buying this apartment house, and the family relies on this workshop for their livelihood.”
“According to our investigation, Levi Bauer has no enemies in Sellis. Levi Bauer has no enemies in Ceres; he does not do much business and has no business rivals.”
“But Levi. Bauer himself, should have lived on a sea vessel for a long time before, and there are quite a few signs on his body that can prove it!”
A sailor? Or a pirate?
Ronan nodded, “Then let’s go take another look at his corpse.”
