Cosma Empire

Chapter 315 Digging Deep [Part 2]

While thinking about this question, An Pu wandered around the city selling luxury goods. When he found the third one, he finally saw a similar lighter on the counter. He smiled and handed the lighter to the teller, "I picked up a lighter from the side of the road. I think its owner should be very anxious. I wonder if you can return this lighter to its owner?"

After checking the lighter that Anpu handed over, the teller gave Anpu an affirmative reply, "Thank you very much, you are an honest person, I believe the owner will be very happy when he finds out. Do you need to leave a contact information? Maybe the owner will thank you in person." Such a lighter sells for more than 200 yuan here, which is quite a luxury, and maybe the owner will give you some compensation.

Finding the owner may be difficult for the person who picked up the item, but it is much easier for the merchant. Every piece of luxury goods has its own unique number. At the moment of sale, they will keep at least one contact information of the buyer so that after-sales service can be carried out normally. As long as you look up the serial number under the lighter, you can find the owner of the lighter.

But Anpu declined the teller's request, he waved his hand and left the shop, and the moment he left, he ran away and rushed to Irian's telegraph office.

Panting, he showed his ID, and then made a request, "I want to monitor a number, is there any problem?"

After the telegraph office made a call to the police station, Amp was allowed to enter the house where the switch was installed. At this time, the phone was not able to achieve "smart" automatic connection, and it had to be done manually. When a light is on, answer the dialing information of this line, and then connect the two terminals together according to this dialing information, and the wiring work is completed. If it is a long-distance call, it will be even more troublesome. It may take three or even four lines of operator work before dialing a number outside the city.

An Pu said the name of the luxury store, and the operator quickly found the registered line. After waiting for about five minutes, the line light came on. The operator glanced at Anpu, and after Anpu instructed to do as usual, the operator answered the message, and then connected another line.

"Now you can monitor." The operator inserted the plug of the earphone into an empty slot, and Amp sat in his place.

Not long after, he heard voices from both sides.

"Hello, this is Sea Cliff Durin Manor, I'm Dove..."

"Hello, Ms. Dove, I have a lost property registered as Mr. Doolin. Is Mr. Doolin here? If he is convenient, he can come to collect his lost lighter. If he is not convenient, we can also Send the lost property to you."

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Du Lin has gone to another place, if possible, please send it here.

"

"OK……"

An Pu frowned, and returned the headset to the operator. He thought it would be Durin who answered the call, but he didn't expect Durin to leave Irian. Where did he go? Absconded in fear of crime? Or do you do something else?

He left while thinking, subconsciously touched his pocket, and took out the cigarette case. When I opened the cigarette case and was about to take out a cigarette, I realized that the cigarette had been smoked. When he was about to throw away the box, he was taken aback for a moment.

cigarette case!

Yes, the cigarette case. There were a lot of cigarette butts at the scene of the crime. The chemical test on Juan’s tongue also proved that he smoked a lot of tobacco before he died. So where is the cigarette case? The cigarette case doesn't look big, but in the absence of any direct evidence, Anpu has to take all the issues into consideration. The lighter is already there, so what about the cigarette case? If the lighter belonged to Doolin, would the cigarettes also be provided by Doolin? Anpu immediately thought of Grimace Mushroom, this horrible poisonous fungus can make people hallucinate, maybe Juan just smoked the cigarettes containing Grimace Mushroom mycelium, he had hallucinations and fell from the roof!

He first ran to the scene of the crime, picked up some cigarette butts on the ground, and then went to the police station. If cigarettes contain ghost face mushroom ingredients, then those cigarettes must be "processed". That is to pour out the shredded tobacco of the cigarette, add the mycelium of the ghost face mushroom and put it back, there must be residual ghost face mushroom mycelium in the cigarette box!

Once the mycelium of ghost face mushroom can be found, then Du Lin can't get away with a second-degree murder. With such a charge, he would have more time to dig out Du Lin's details, trying to solve the fraud case and the gold robbery at the same time.

He came to the evidence room of the police station again, and asked the previous police officer to look at the evidence collected at the scene of Juan's suicide. Among the bits and pieces, he found a burnt cigarette case. He sat in a room next to the evidence room, carefully looking at the cigarette case in his hand. This cigarette case is not much different from most high-end cigarette cases. The cigarette box itself is made of very thin wood chips, and a layer of wrapping paper is stuck on the outside, but this cigarette box has been burned, and one of them has a large area of ​​burnt.

Then he looked inside the cigarette case, and unexpectedly found that the tin foil used to wrap the cigarettes inside was missing. He looked back and forth several times, returned to the evidence room, and checked all the evidence from the scene and Juan's body again. All the things he found, "Where's the tin foil in the cigarette case?" He took out the burnt cigarette case in his hand, and also took out his own cigarette case, "Look, where is there a layer of tin foil inside?"

The police officer shook his head, and said impatiently: "Everything is here, if there is, there is, if not, then there is nothing!"

An Pu was silent for a moment, then returned to the room and continued to play with the cigarette case.

At this time, although the tobacco tax was far inferior to other commercial taxes and alcohol taxes, many people believed that tobacco tax would also become an important source of tax revenue for the empire in the future. At this time, everyone is still used to growing tobacco by themselves, or buying it from other farmers, which can solve a lot of expenses. But as the empire's economy is recovering rapidly and the power of capital is expanding crazily, the industrial industry will inevitably squeeze the agricultural industry in the future, and more and more people will go to factories instead of farming in the countryside.

People who have lost the cheap enjoyment of tobacco have to spend more money to buy cigarettes, which makes cigarette companies expand rapidly.

Cigarette boxes at this time were made of wood chips that were as thin as a piece of paper, and wrapped in wrapping paper. Then wrap the cigarettes in tin foil and stuff them into a cigarette box. Finally, the whole pack of cigarettes will be immersed in oil wax. The purpose of this is to prevent the tobacco inside from getting damp and water. While looking at the burnt cigarette case, he was thinking about a question.

What can a tinfoil the size of a palm do?

convey information?

Or had something been done after Juan's death?

But this is not right, if it is really as he imagined, adding ghost face mushrooms to the shredded tobacco of cigarettes, taking away the tin foil, but leaving cigarette butts, what is the point of doing so?

The more things he thought about, the more he felt that there were too many things hidden behind Juan's "suicide". He took a pen and drew the picture of the burnt cigarette box, and then returned the cigarette box to the police. The first thing to do now is to analyze whether there is ghost face mushroom in the cigarette butt.

If so, Durin must face trial.

If not, then he will consider whether the burnt cigarette case was intentional or accidental.

After spending an "expedited fee", he finally got the chemical analysis report of the cigarette butt after nine o'clock in the evening. Among the hundreds of chemical substances, no ingredient of ghost face mushroom was found. There was a brief moment of confusion about the direction of the investigation. (Of course I know how many chemical components there are when tobacco is burned, and I also know how many chemical components can be produced when tobacco from other worlds is burned. This is not a clerical error)

When they returned to the hotel, the agents came back exhausted. An Pu put the matter aside and looked at the agents.

"How is the investigation of the demonstration going?"

The detective in charge of this matter shook his head, "There is no clue for the time being, all the provincials initiated by the organization died in the 'gang vendetta' at that time, the police station seems not to care much about this case, and there is no detailed investigation There was no further follow-up on the transcript, and even some evidence has been disposed of. It's like..."

An Pu didn't wait for him to finish, and then went up and said, "It's like the police station knew the truth of this matter, so they gave up the investigation!"

"Yes, that's how it feels." The detective wanted to find a confidant, and patted the edge of the table.

There is no doubt that the initiators of those organizations have been killed by Du Lin, and it is very likely that the police also played a disgraceful role in this. An Pu has been to many places and solved many cases. He understands that in order to "cover the cover" in some places, even the city hall has taken the initiative to stand up to help certain people and certain things.

The death of a group of people is not too reluctant to be characterized by gang vendetta. The reason is that the case has no context and it is a local protection policy!

To exchange the lives of some poor people for the political lives of politicians is despicable and shameless!

He looked at the other one, who also shook his head.

"There is still something involved between the Carter family and the Fullers family, involving the deaths of Carter's daughter and Young Fullers. There are many theories. Someone can prove that Carter's wife left Illian because of grief and went back to her hometown, and the old man The Fullers family also left here, and there are witnesses to both incidents, and they all saw these people leave Illian." The detective who spoke paused, took out a cigarette and lit it, "I have been to The villa of the Fullers family is very clean and tidy inside and out, all the furniture and decorations are covered with dust-proof cloths, and they are tidied up properly, it doesn't look like they left in a hurry."
