Chapter 74: Clues Interrupted


"We tracked down a witness who obviously knew what was going on.""

He followed us back to the team for questioning, but he was a former vigilante and knew our procedures and methods very well, and his mouth was so tight that he couldn't get anything out."'

We went around in circles with him for hours this afternoon and didn't make any progress.In desperation, we can only continue to detain him, wait to find other evidence or clues, and then further conquer him. ”"Unexpectedly, before leaving, he snatched a security officer's gun, aimed it at his chin on the spot, and pulled the trigger to end his life."

The simple words were a little messy, and although Isa's voice didn't tremble, and there were no other signs, she could still feel that her thoughts were not clear.At this point, Issa paused, trying to clear her mind, but she didn't know where to start."

Now there is chaos in the team, all our clues have been cut off here, and we are once again in a dead end.""

I don't understand what happened, what could make him die to protect the murderer behind him, even at the cost of his own life.Aren't there enough innocent lives dying in this case?

”Bloodshed, not so long ago.It was a positive impact for Isa, she turned around and found Holden, except that the clue was cut off, it may not be irritated and troubled - if the black hand behind it is really the top of the security team, then the suicide is also a poor person, and he has become a victim, expressing his loyalty in this tragic way, leaving a way for the unwitting family to survive.This also means that things may be worse and darker than imagined.In the midst of the vigilantes, Issa can no longer take a good look at his colleagues, and the dark corners of the filth seem to be everywhere.She needed a little quiet, and she needed to get out of the scene.Even if it's just for an hour.So Issa showed up at the door of Holden's house, and after dinner, her mood was noticeably calmer.Although Issa still didn't tell the ins and outs, Hoden still keenly grasped the key, "How the hell did he get the gun?"

The vigilante who was robbed of the gun, have you checked the background?

”Perhaps, it was the subordinates of the mastermind behind the scenes, who made a special trip to hand over the knife.Issa jerked her head up and stared sharply at Howlen, as if she couldn't believe that Howlen was able to catch a clue in such sad and shocking news, and it was such a cruel and terrible guess.Hoden calmly met Isa's gaze.Soon, Issa was defeated, because deep down, she knew that Hoden's calm perspective and keen sense of smell were exactly what she needed.Taking a deep breath, Issa nodded, "I'll be sure." ”Holden didn't get any more inch, "How did you find this witness?"

”He needs to know the ins and outs before he can make further judgments.After ruling out the suspicion that Frank Lenoll killed first and then committed suicide, Issa set the target of his investigation on Lenoor.In recent times, Lenoll's audit work has been very complex and varied, including the internal accounts of the security team, but there is nothing suspicious about those accounts, and the main problem that really concerns Lenoll comes from the tax adviser's office.This was a bit of a surprise, and it was thought that Lenore had touched the intertwined interests of the security team higher-ups, and then he was killed, but his work was not directly related to the security team.During the course of the investigation, Issa noticed that Lenoor's work file involved the taxation of the vigilante's pension, which was a gray area.According to Iwabuchi's official rules, after the security officers have successfully retired, they can enjoy a full pension, but only if their monthly income is not higher than ten croros.But the rules are just rules, and in real life, not everyone can follow them.There are a small number of retirees who announce their retirement and receive official pensions; While continuing to work full-time and receive a monthly salary, this is called "double pay".Obviously, this is a violation of the pension regulations.In addition, there are tax problems – because they are legally retired, which makes their full-time jobs tax-free.This is a sensitive issue, and some people know and pretend not to know, because they are all colleagues in the security forces; Some people know but don't dare to raise objections, because the involvement is very wide, and who knows if they will encounter difficulties in the future, and they also need double compensation.However, even if it is detected, it is not a serious criminal offense, and it is usually in the form of a fine to fill the monetary gap.Lenore was a thorn in the coffin, and he continued to investigate, but what was originally a minor incident resulted in the death of all four of his family.Issa found the tax office that Lenoll was investigating, and the accountant was vague, but Issa quickly broke through the line and said a name that Lenoll was holding onto, Kyle Osman.The Osman did not work in the Eighth Precinct, he worked in the Eleventh Precinct further south.He retired five years ago and then became a school security guard, receiving double pay until he was discovered by Lenoor.According to Osman, he quit his job as a school security guard, and Lenoll is no longer dwelling on it, and he is now living on a meager pension.Issa, however, sees through Osman's lie: she notices that Osman's clothes, food, shoes, ties, etc., are all brand new items that have been recently purchased and are worth a lot of money; Osman even bought a sailing boat, and paid for it in full, making Osman the number one suspect at once.The Ottomans didn't pay for the sailboat, it was all money, and both Crow and Keith had it—this was definitely not the behavior of the rich.Upon examination, traces of purple finchsilver were traced on coins paid by Ottoman.The so-called finch silver, an addictive crystal, can be made into powder, liquid and doped into tobacco leaves; According to the different concentrations, it evolves into different colors, among which purple is the lowest one, often considered to be leftovers, and the stamina is also the slightest, mainly popular among students or young people.And Osman is the school security guard, and the clues are all connected.Later, after another 300 crons of cash were found in Osman's home, Issa took Osman back to the security team for questioning.Osman took all the blame on himself, and did not plead guilty directly, saying only that he would need to wait for his lawyer to appear before being questioned.Issa and her colleagues besieged Osman for several hours, but to no avail, and she had just told Hoden what had happened.When Osman died, the trail was cut off again - perhaps the vigilante who had been robbed of the gun by Ottoman could investigate further, but there was little hope.From the current point of view, it seems that the murderer behind the scenes is Osman, and it ended in Osman committing suicide in fear of crime."

But obviously, you don't think so."

Hodden said."

Yes, I don't think so."

Issa shook her head.()
