Chapter 809: Chapter 807: Resolution
Today, Song Lan didn’t want to investigate the case.
Because he had a nightmare and didn’t sleep well, fatigue climbed onto his back today, making him only want to sleep well in the hotel bed.
Zhuang Chi, however, was someone who couldn’t sit still, and in the propaganda department, her curiosity had always been the strongest. She had already made uncovering the truth behind the janitor’s death their next target, and the idle Roger seemed to have subtly entertained the idea of joining her.
But reality often didn’t go as one wished.
The arrival of several uninvited guests made it impossible for Song Lan to sleep and also forced Zhuang Chi to temporarily halt her investigation plan.
The captain of the Law Enforcers, whom they had met the day before, knocked on Song Lan’s door and informed him of the third murder case within these two days—the victim this time was Powell, whose cause of death was myocardial infarction.
After receiving the report, they investigated Powell’s room and found the virus software installed by Zhuang Chi on his computer.
Thus, they came to a reasonable speculation.
After being excessively frightened, Powell had abruptly died in his own room. Although they detected alcohol in Powell’s blood several times higher than the normal amount, the virus software Zhuang Chi installed on his computer also played a role in hastening his death.
So on the second day in the fourth district, Comrade Zhuang Chi was charged with manslaughter, and now her colleagues needed to take her back to the department for further investigation.
Song Lan felt extremely heavy upon learning this news.
What did he say?
Being curious about everything will only hurt you!
And now, Zhuang Chi had proven this truth with her actions.
As the team leader, Song Lan could only contact the supervisor and ask her for help.
"Zhuang Chi was framed."
Only after the Law Enforcers and Zhuang Chi had left did Roger share his judgment.
Now, only the two of them were left visiting the fourth district. He was tasked with the mission of exonerating Zhuang Chi, "This is a deliberate murder case disguised as an accidental sudden death. Someone else had been in the room after Zhuang Chi stopped the virus software."
The two arrived at Powell’s room, which could only be described as a mess.
Empty alcohol bottles and cigarette butts were scattered everywhere, clothes were strewn about, and the bed was casually piled with some indecent "toys." This room fully reflected the kind of person Powell was in his daily life, and it almost epitomized the characters of the small fry in the fourth district.
"He was lying face down on the desk when he died, as if specifically guiding the Law Enforcers to investigate his computer."
Roger said, "But we all saw his reaction just now. When scared out of his wits, he instinctively wanted to run away. Zhuang Chi said she had locked Powell’s door beforehand through a program, preventing him from escaping during the questioning. Moreover, after he confessed truthfully, Zhuang Chi had already turned off the virus software."
Song Lan had also noticed these things, and this was what troubled him the most.
After Zhuang Chi, someone had avoided the hotel’s surveillance and the people on the first floor, and silently entered Powell’s room.
After extracting the information they wanted, they murdered him and framed Zhuang Chi for the deed.
The real killer also came for the same purpose as Zhuang Chi, which means they must have also obtained the results they wanted from Powell—the janitor had asked about them before his death.
This indicated that the janitor was part of a gang operation. They might now be targeted by other assassins.
Tonight, when he slept, he might have one or even more nightmares.
"Chief, look at this."
After a thorough search, Roger found a document on Powell’s computer.
A film script.
A thriller set in a hotel.
The female protagonist worked in the hotel, and one night she heard a strange noise outside and witnessed a murder taking place.
What followed was a cliché sequence of the heroine escaping from a serial killer’s pursuit.
Roger flipped directly to the last page of the screenplay, "Look here, according to the final ending of the story, the heroine falls to her death from the hotel, and the actress playing this role in the movie is none other than Grella, whom you met on the rooftop before."
This inevitably reminded him of the major case that had occurred in the villa area.
"If you hadn’t talked Grella down at that time, she would have ended up just like the heroine in the movie!"
And in fact, if it hadn’t been for a miracle last night, she would still not have escaped her fate.
"The killer is in the hotel, maybe the cleaner just happened to come across the killer and was silenced, and the reason the killer went after Powell is because he wanted to eliminate everyone related to this matter!"
It sounded like something a real serial killer in a script would do.
Song Lan, who was listening, did not give his opinion.
Because in reality, the cleaner who was the killer was already dead.
He just didn’t realize that it was a gang crime, and Song Lan also couldn’t share what he knew with these people who were striving to become famous detectives.
Only the cleaner’s companion and the person who killed him knew his real identity, to others, he was just a pitiful victim.
Roger’s discovery broadened his thinking; comparing Grella and Mikaela’s encounters, it seemed to explain the cleaner’s motive for murder.
It wasn’t out of personal grudge, but to let Grella "die as she should," just like the actual heroine in the script.
What was this?
An extreme organization evolved from a group of screenplay enthusiasts?
"Chief, I have an idea."
Roger said, "If Powell has informed the killer about our presence, he will find us sooner or later. We can pretend to be unaware of this, and then ambush him... In this way, it’s actually good that Comrade Zhuang Chi was taken away by the Law Enforcers, it’s much safer inside the Law Enforcers department."
"And after he finds us?"
"We take him down, force the truth out of him, and then send him to the Law Enforcers department to clear Zhuang Chi’s name!"
Roger laid out a complete plan, but seemed to overlook many crucial details.
Song Lan raised a doubt, "Here comes the problem, how do we take him down?"
"...boxing?"
An expected answer, yet it made Song Lan consider sending Roger to the Law Enforcers department in District Four to stay with Zhuang Chi, as the stumbling block of Heart-piercing Knife skill was that he couldn’t use this skill in front of someone who knew him.
"We are discussing a murderer who doesn’t blink an eye."
"But we must find the real culprit and clear Zhuang Chi’s name!"
"Good, that’s the spirit we need."
Song Lan looked at Roger’s determined eyes and agreed with his proposal.
If so, the organization could only decide it was time for Comrade Roger to awaken King’s Domineering.
