Why it never ends

Chapter 131 Murder Photography

At 10:19am on October 5, Sir Chris Hoffman was found dead on the steps of a disused train station in Tanyi.

At first, people only found a naked corpse, the head of the corpse was missing, and its hands and feet were severed, neatly placed next to the torso.

Judging from the scars on the body, Hoffman suffered unimaginable cruelty before his death.The murderer cut off Baron Hoffman's genitals, smashed his teeth, and nearly smashed him into a bloody pile of bones before beheading him.

A blood-soaked white flower was stuck at the opening of the victim's broken spine. It was very small, with a stem only as long as a thumb. The whole morning, its fingernail-sized flower shivered in the cold wind, and the dried blood almost The petals are dyed a deep black.

It was just a roadside wildflower, not a rare species. The police officers quickly found a bloody broken stem among the wildflowers next to the abandoned station—the murderer picked off the nearby flowers and placed them on the ground. here.

Police officers carefully removed it from the body with tweezers and kept it as an important evidence.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the baron's wife recognized Baron Chris Hoffman himself from the body's body shape and birthmarks. After the identification, she fled from the morgue in disgust and ordered the servants to take care of the baron's funeral. Don't make her "take another look at this disgusting thing".

By talking with the baroness, the police officers got a very important clue: since the 7th of this month, unknown letters have been sent to their home.

One letter a day, for twelve days in a row, appeared in their mailbox at home.

The letters appeared early and late, with no fixed pattern, and there was no sender on the envelope, only Chris Hoffman's name was written.

The police followed the baroness to the house, and the baroness took out these weird letters—twelve letters contained twelve photos, all of which were portraits taken by Hoffman the day before the letter was received.

On the screen, Hoffmann is in the church, Hoffmann is in the restaurant, Hoffmann is in front of the steps of the theater, Hoffmann is in the back seat of the car...

The shooting distance is far or near, some are blurry and some are clear, and some shooting time is in the morning and some in the evening, and there is no rule at all.

"What was his reaction when he saw the pictures?" the officer asked.

"It still felt a little strange at first," the baroness held a slender bong with an indifferent expression, "but he was quite happy afterwards, saying that some woman who was fascinated by him must have secretly followed him to take pictures ——A man like him has always been very popular among women."

"Did he have a more specific guess at the time?"

"Why would he tell me that?" The baroness changed her posture and exhaled a puff of white smoke, "He just chopped up his stuff, I guess which little lover did it? You follow his lead Just check the address book, don't ask me."

"Has the baron had any grudges with anyone in recent years?"

"I don't know." The baroness smiled, "I never care about his life or business."

"..." The policeman glanced at the baroness, then lowered his head again, "What were you doing between two in the morning and five in the morning last night?"

……

Because the police blocked the news to a certain extent, the news related to this bizarre murder did not cause too much disturbance in the city for the time being.

However, the police officers in Tanyi City are obviously not very happy-they were still discussing the Fernan case in Bruno City with great interest last month, laughing at their incompetent colleagues who were exhausted but got nothing. Throw the pot to the chelate to save the respect.

Now, the tragedy of Hoffman's corpse was even worse than that of Fernan, and since there were no obvious traces of chelate or mercury needles, they couldn't blame it.

However, since this case is not far from the Fernand case, and the two have known each other for more than ten years, even though Fernand and Hoffman have had little contact over the years, AHgAs still noticed The situation here.

Hoffman himself is a middle-aged man with fitness habits. Although he is 44 this year, he does not look much different from a 26-year-old young guy.Moreover, due to his short experience in the army in his early years, he has some fighting skills.

So, while it is true that this man's messy relationship history could pose some danger to him, it is hard to imagine such a robust man being put down by a love-struck woman.

And more importantly, there was no medicine left in Hoffman's body. The murderer obviously didn't use the medicine to bring him down before committing the murder.

The police quickly focused on tall and strong men.

In just a few days, the police visited no less than 400 people, including Hoffman's lovers, friends, business partners, creditors, people who owed him money, and employees he had hired... However, there are very few people who can satisfy both the motive and the conditions for committing crimes.

New clues keep appearing and being ruled out, everything becomes complicated and confusing.

At the same time, details related to the case spread like wildfire in Tanyi City, and soon, something worse happened——

On 10 October, Viscount Frollo Fischer Rich received a portrait photograph in a plain envelope that can be found everywhere, bearing the Viscount's name on it.

Likewise, there is no signature on the envelope.

The police in Tanyi City finally realized that this might be a heralded serial killing—after Baron Hoffman was killed, the next victim was Viscount Rishi.

Sure enough, on October 10, Viscount Rich received a second photo.

Since the police were closely monitoring the Viscount's mansion, this photo appeared at the front desk of a tavern that the Viscount frequented, and was handed over to the Viscount by the tavern owner.

After learning about Hoffman's death, Viscount Rishi lost control and fainted on the spot. The police realized that he might know something and waited patiently for him to wake up. However, the Viscount just woke up crying and shouting , a ghost came back, and a ghost wanted to kill him.

No matter how the police inquired, he never gave any effective information, so the police had to give up and pretend to leave.

After the police left, Viscount Richey immediately drove to the mansion of Duke Villefort. At the same time, his servants also set off with him to invite Viscount Claude Tanglar and Count Kim Schmidt .

The police officers squatting outside followed closely behind, each following up.

Everyone tensed up.

No matter who the murderer behind this case is, it is bound to be a shocking case.
