Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 447 Detective Saffron
Professor Miles is dead.

Song Lan inquired about the location of the incident, and it was at Professor Miles' own residence. According to what the teaching assistant said, the professor went back to the apartment alone after class. corpse.

"I think one of us must have a broom star physique."

"It's not us, it's you."

Without hesitation, Lu Xiang used the control variable method to come to a conclusion when Song Lan was on a business trip to the town. During that week, the law enforcement department did not encounter any major cases, but instead, problems occurred one after another in the town.

She was very sure that Song Lan had the physique of a famous detective.

Song Lan was speechless.

In the face of hard facts, any refutation is pale and powerless.

After a short silence, he said, "But this time it was Professor Miles who died. If you have anything to say, don't keep it in your heart. You can talk to me."

From Lu Xiang's description of Professor Miles, it can be seen that she has always respected the old gentleman. After learning of the professor's death, he has already made preparations to help Lu Xiang with psychological counseling.

"Don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Lu Xiang's tone was as calm as ever, "Let's go, let's go to the professor's residence."

As a law enforcement officer, what she can do for the professor is to find the murderer and bring him to justice.

However, this idea was also dismissed when the two rushed to the professor's residence, because the person in charge of investigating the case had already reached a conclusion before they arrived.

Professor Miles committed suicide.

There was no sign of any struggle or encounter in the room. This afternoon, the professor just returned to his residence as usual, locked the door, and sat at the desk facing the door.

Books related to psychic ability research and news in this field are piled up on the desk.

In the right-hand drawer of the desk, there is an old-fashioned suppressed pistol, which seems to be because the professor does not want to cause too much noise by his own behavior of swallowing the gun.

The suicide note on the table was soaked with splashed blood, and after confirmation by the teaching assistant, it was indeed Professor Myers' notes.

After identification, the suicide note seems to have been written a long time ago. Judging from the content of the suicide note, Professor Miles had long thought of committing suicide, and he has never been able to get out of the incident that year.

From the point of view of forensics, the professor is well motivated, and regret and self-blame have been tormenting him all these years.

In addition to various news and research books on the table, there is also a transparent plastic basket full of glass marbles. In the words of the teaching assistant, this is the habit of Professor Myers. When he thinks about problems, he always puts Holding the glass bead in his hand, he stared at the texture on it.

After learning about the situation at the scene, Lu Xiang basically came to the conclusion of suicide.

However, she did not tell Song Lan the most important conclusion of her suicide.

At this moment, the "detective" who was in charge of investigating the case also finished searching the bedroom and came out.

"Student Lu Xiang, what a pity, I didn't expect that we would meet in this way in the end."

The visitor was a tall, thin man.

Wearing a familiar retro black trench coat and a top hat, at first glance he looks like a famous detective from the Middle Ages.

The man's left eye was equipped with an obvious mechanical eye. He was talking to Lu Xiang, but the mechanical eye kept scanning Song Lan, and there was a slight sound of the wheel turning. He took a few steps forward and said with a smile on his face. Stretched out his metal right hand.

His body has undergone a high degree of prosthetic transformation, but all the transformations look like the quality of immature technology 30 or [-] years ago. Their characteristic is that they will leave extremely distinctive marks on the human body, making them look more bionic. Man is more like a machine.

"Happy to meet."

After greeting Lu Xiang, the man deliberately came to Song Lan again, showing great curiosity towards him, "You must be the famous Mr. Holmes."

"Song Lan."

While shaking hands, Song Lan corrected.

"Mr. Song Lan, actually, I think it's very obvious from the environment of the scene."

Afterwards, the unknown "medieval detective" strode over to the desk, "According to the autopsy report, the time of Professor Miles' death was 18:13 this afternoon, less than a day before the end of the spiritual ability theory get out of class." During the 20 minutes, the surveillance video showed that no one had visited the deceased. At 21:31, the teaching assistant came to the deceased's apartment to discuss the teaching content with the deceased and found the body.

"In addition to the long-term mental state of the deceased and the various clues left at the scene, the monitoring of the apartment building and the confession of the guards have all proved that Professor Miles could no longer bear the torture in his heart, and chose to use the prepared It is worth mentioning that the guards in the apartment are all artificial intelligence, so the possibility of them lying can be ruled out... Do you two have different opinions on this?"

"Not yet."

Lu Xiang said that there is nothing missing in this case in terms of motive and chain of evidence, and any investigator who has been to the scene will come to the same conclusion.

"But why today?"

The teaching assistant with red and swollen eyes couldn't help asking, Professor Miles is the person he respects the most. To him, the professor is not only his boss, but also his life mentor.

"coincide."

The "medieval detective" straightened his top hat with his right hand in a black leather glove, and said, "For a person with long-term psychological problems, he will choose to end his life any day. Neither the stimulus nor the fact that something has awakened painful memories in him is enough to change the conclusion of suicide."

If he pointed it out.

When talking to the teaching assistant, his mechanical eyes still stayed on Song Lan. It was obvious that he had heard what happened in class.

"It's a pity that not everyone has the courage to face their past."

These words seemed to be comforting the teaching assistant, but also seemed to be specifically for Song Lan.

"Since it is determined to be a suicide, there is no need for the Investigation Bureau of Abnormal Cases to intervene."

Lu Xiang interrupted the dialogue between the detective and Song Lan. She recognized his identity from the emblem on the other party's brooch, or in other words, this person had no intention of hiding his identity from the beginning.

But apart from her identity, she knew nothing about the man in front of her.

"of course."

The man nodded and said, "This is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the Bureau of Investigation. Now that I have reached a conclusion, I will leave soon."

It is not uncommon for people to commit suicide due to the difficulty of facing the past, and it is naturally not enough to attract the attention of the Abnormal Cases Investigation Bureau.

But he knew very well that once the news of Professor Miles' death spread, Lu Xiang would definitely come here as soon as possible.

Through this case, it happened to be an opportunity for them to meet.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce myself."

"Medieval Detective" suddenly remembered something, and just as he was about to pass by Lu Xiang and Song Lan, he stopped just right.

He deliberately lowered his voice, looked at Lu Xiang with one eye, and watched Song Lan's reaction persistently with the other mechanical eye.

From the very first moment they met, Song Lan realized that this person was not compatible with him.

— "My name is Anglet Saffron, and I'm a detective."
