Quietly, Issa stared at Howlen without taking her eyes off it.Although Hoden didn't speak, Issa still scrutinized Hoden's eyes and the subtle expressions on the corners of his mouth, those emerald green eyes flashed with a sharp and deep light, trying to break Hoden's calm and composure, and peek into the true emotions behind the mask.However, Issa failed.This made Issa a little frustrated, after all, she was the sheriff who occupied the top, but she couldn't find a flaw in the underage Hoden.Issa wasn't entirely sure what she was thinking, and she revealed the inside of the vigilante to a civilian.At first, Issa was vaguely aware of the complexity of the case, but she didn't really realize the seriousness of the matter, looking for Hordon's help was just a flash of inspiration, and she herself didn't think it 100% clearly, the urge to pursue the truth drove her to take a risk, and then the incident just got out of control and went off track little by little.By the time Issa realized it, they were already standing in front of a black hole, and it seemed that she didn't know who to turn to or who to trust except Holden.She even hated herself a little: she hated her own incompetence, otherwise, she would not need Holden's help to find the answer.Neither revealing the internal scandals of the vigilantes nor jeopardizing Holden's safety – she knew she had made mistakes, but she made them again and again along the way.For a moment, Issa felt powerless; And behind the powerlessness lies anger, anger against oneself."
Howlen, don't make me regret it."
After the silence, Issa's words blurted out, but before she could say them, she regretted them - on the one hand, she didn't want the scandal of the vigilantes to spread; On the other hand, she worries that her actions will affect Howlen.Both are regrets, but the meaning of regret is very different from the emotion, however, the intricate emotions are expressed in this way, unlike threats over threats.Issa is gripped by a deep sense of frustration, and she doesn't want to face Hodden because she doesn't know how to do it.It's funny that she doesn't even know what to do with herself.Hodden didn't read the words too much and mixed himself in with the internal investigation of the vigilante as an outsider, and he knew what position he should keep."
Then let's get to the bottom of it.When I should shut up, I'll shut up. ”Hoden rightly said he needed to enlist Issa's support.Holden's response made Issa stunned, and then laughed dumbly, but he laughed at himself for losing his temper in front of Holden three times and twice, which really didn't look like her.But this time, instead of basking in her negative emotions, Issa quickly gathered her thoughts and pulled herself together, and her brain was back in action."
I've had direct contact with Osman, and I can tell that he's not behind it, so how can you tell that you've never seen him at all?"
Issa is keenly aware of an important detail, and while the case is very important, she is now becoming more and more interested in Howlen.In the blink of sight, Hoden could sense the ebb and flow of Isa's emotions, but he didn't mind showing what he was capable of.Otherwise, with his age of not yet eighteen, it would definitely not be so easy to win Issa's trust."
Judging from the crime scene of the Lenole family, we are looking for a criminal at the level of a commander, capable of organizing murders, ruthless, intelligent and calm, and after the murder is executed, he can also design the crime scene and complete the wrong guidance for the follow-up work of the vigilante.""
That means, this is an alpha.""
You see, after Osman was pulled out by Lenoor, he was immediately 'separated' out, and that cash should be his last dividend.The alpha knew how to give up, and he only needed to give up Osman to be able to save his remaining branches, which was the reason why Osman committed suicide. ”Hodden spoke his analysis without hesitation, and even though he wasn't personally involved in the whole process, the information Issa revealed was sufficient.The seemingly ordinary and simple words made Issa's eyes widen and he looked at Horgan in disbelief, "What's going on?"
How the hell did you deduce this?
Without evidence or context, I can understand what you're saying, but I can't see the rationale behind it.I can't believe you. ”Hodden wasn't surprised.From the previous contact, it can be seen that the level of case solving in the Norsnes continent should still be at a relatively early stage, not to mention mature professional disciplines such as criminal psychology and scientific forensics, and even the basic knowledge such as protecting crime scenes has not yet been able to establish a complete form.Although Hoden has chosen as simple words as possible to express his thoughts, it is still difficult."
Squadron Leader Issa, if you had to choose a way to commit suicide, what would you choose?"
Instead of answering positively, Hoden asked a question.Issa's head was full of question marks, but she still thought about it seriously, "Take poison." ”Ottoman chose to shoot.See, everyone has their own personality traits, and even if they choose to commit suicide, they will make very different choices.The same is true of crime. ”Holden uses the most understandable way to solve the simplest level of criminal psychology, "Alpha and Beta choose different ways to kill. ”"You mean, different gangsters might choose different ways to kill people?"
Issa gives some variant explanations.Hoden nodded in affirmation, "That's probably what it means."
If it was just a small minion, he would not have planned the Lenoer family tragedy. ”Issa can understand what Holden means, but it is still a little difficult to apply to the actual situation, and she herself has also gone around a little, and the tangled details are no longer "Alpha", but Osman's suicide - if Osman is the mastermind behind it, there is no so-called Alpha behind it."
But Osman was just a human being, and he was probably just afraid of going to jail.In the past, as a security officer, he didn't have any achievements at all, and he didn't have much sense of existence, so he committed suicide in fear of crime. ”Issa said."
Correct.That's what I mean, I mean, the first half. ”Horden nodded in affirmation, "Such an ordinary team member with no sense of existence, he has no way to plan the murder of the door, and he also framed Lenore and misled the direction of the investigation."
His character does not possess such abilities, nor does his intelligence reach such heights.There must be someone else behind him. ”Issa vaguely understood, "So, who can stand behind him?"
”"The same vigilantes as him.They may be mediocre or even ignored, but they think it's unfair because they are talented and capable, and they try to prove that they can be good vigilantes, so they come together and try to fight for what belongs to them. ”Hodden gave his own inference, and Issa frowned and thought for a moment, "But if everyone is as mediocre and incapable as him, how did the alpha you said come to appear?"
”"Some people are mediocre, that's because they have limited qualifications, like Osman; And some people are mediocre because of objective conditions, such as ......"
Holden did not continue, just stared at Isa.()
