One important detail that Holden didn't tell Issa and wasn't prepared to tell for the time being was that Victor had only half a day after being questioned by the security team, and that night, the professional killer had arrived at the scene and finished the finishing touches.Nightingale met Horden and Robben for two weeks without incident, only to suffer a big change the night before, and the next-door neighbor was not wiped out.Cause?
Maybe it's because Victor is more important and Nightingale is just a pawn; Maybe it was because Victor was exposed to the eyes of the vigilantes and the situation was urgent, but Nightingale only talked to two students, and no so-called "official news" spread; Maybe it's because the people behind the scenes sent two different professional killers with different ways to deal with them......
Maybe it's because Nightingale wasn't killed but had something else that led to an unexpected death, and all the behind-the-scenes connections so far have been wishful thinking on the part of Horden and may not have anything to do with it at all......
There are a lot of potential possibilities, and there are still many suspicious clues at the scene of Nightingale's death, at least based on scientific theories, Holden has not been able to find a reasonable explanation for the time being, revealing a kind of weirdness everywhere.But assuming that Holden's inferences are correct, then, in Holden's view, the biggest difference should be Victor's company.Victor is a high-wage earner with a steady source of income, while Nightingale is a poor resident who works odd jobs to survive, which is the root cause of the rapid spread of information.Moreover, there are indeed many suspicious things about Victor's company - the fact that he built a private residence for Viscount Philo in the first place cannot be known only to Victor; After Victor's death, he did not hear of multiple accidental deaths within his company to complete the work of extinguishing the mouth.So, does this mean that Victor's company knew the secrets in the first place, and then used means to make sure that insiders kept their mouths shut?
Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.But what is certain is that Victor's company does have a lot of doubts.“…… My suggestion is to start with Victor's company and start investigating.Whether they know the truth or not, the company must have hidden eyes and ears. ”Holden wasn't entirely trying to distract Isa, but he was genuinely convinced.Issa always felt that something was faintly wrong, and always felt that she had missed an important clue; But there are so many things happening at the moment, and her thinking direction is always behind Howlen, so it is naturally difficult to seize the upper hand.Even though Issa did her best to avoid being led by the nose by Holden, it was inevitable that she would have blind spots and not be able to take care of herself.That's what happened at this point.Issa sighed lightly, "I know that too.But his company ......
It's a little tricky.I've been applying for a search warrant, and no prosecutor has been willing to grant it.Without a search warrant, we couldn't even get inside the company's gates, let alone search them. ”Shaking his head slightly, Issa was also a little helpless, everyone thought that the security team had unlimited scenery, but in the Laia Empire, in fact, the power of the security team could be said to be constrained everywhere.Knowing that there are many doubts about Victor's death, the investigation has always been stalled."
But it's because of this that I'm more and more sure that there should be a problem with their company, otherwise they can be investigated in a relaxed manner.Captain Casca agreed, and we've heard that the company is constantly looking for connections to pressure prosecutors to avoid a potential investigation, and Captain Casca thinks there's something wrong with that, so he'll try to get it. ”Issa is still reinvigorated and has hope, which is why she joined the vigilante in the first place – believing that justice still exists.Hodden nodded his head in agreement.Issa stared at Holden carefully, trying to discern some truth from that green face, but in the end, he still couldn't find any clues, and finally had to give up, "So, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
”Issa blinked, gesturing to Director Zvi and Julian outside the hallway.Should they tell the truth?"
They don't mind if there's a second person on the scene, what they need is to solve the case, and as soon as possible."
It only took one sentence for Holden to tell the truth.Issa's eyes flickered slightly, and she understood what Holden meant, "I see."
I'll negotiate with the precinct to see if I can file it with us, or at least one copy so that we can investigate in the future. ”With that, Issa turned and left the room, ready to negotiate with Director Zvi.Holden looked at Nightingale, whose body was completely cold, and his eyes were a little mixed - although Nightingale guided him and Samuel to a point of no return, and even though he knew the secret, he still did not give up and continued to introduce the victims, maybe it can be called "aiding and abetting", then today's ending can also be said to be innocent.But Holden still stuck to his guess, even if Nightingale knew something, it was not a core secret, otherwise he would not have survived for so long.In other words, Nightingale was also one of the victims.Hodden did not sympathize with Nightingale's plight, but he did see him and Samuel in Nightingale—poor people struggling on the ropes of fate; And the only value they have may be their own life.However, under the chaos of the times, there doesn't seem to be much value left of this life.Witnessing Nightingale's death, it is difficult to imagine what Nightingale suffered and how much pain she endured before she was able to end the disaster and torture of this night.Now, Hodden doesn't know whether he wants Samuel to be alive or dead.With a light sigh, Hoden turned and walked away from the room.In the hallway, Issa was communicating with Director Zvi and Julian, and Julian's voice could be vaguely captured surging in the hallway.“…… Insane.That's a good reason!
”"We can close the case today."
This is not unexpected.If Nightingale had committed suicide, then defining it in an ethereal term like "hallucination" or a guiding description like "murder" would cause panic among ordinary people, because no one knew if they would be the next target.But "insane disorder", such a reason seems much more ordinary.In particular, Iwabuchi's understanding of the field related to mental illness is infinitely close to zero, so it is even more simple and crude, and it doesn't even take too much effort to explain, and ordinary people can directly accept it.Perhaps, tonight will be the talk of the town in different bars.Julian's expression had regained his flying posture: although there was a fatal tragedy in the jurisdiction, if they were able to solve the case in less than an hour, not only would they not be held responsible, but they would also be rewarded and perhaps famous.With a bright road to prosperity in the future, Julian's brain spun rapidly, completely missing the weak appearance that he had just vomited to the earth.()
