The Death Plan of a Hero of the Empire

"Then act."

After receiving the instruction, Lu Nier went out to find the nearby residents.

It is not so much a resident, but a nearby business. After all, this street is a commercial street, and there are shops around the theater, and there are no ordinary residential buildings at all.

Lu Nier went directly to the shop next to the theater, went to the front desk staff and started asking.

"Hi, I'm from the Investigation Bureau, can I ask you a few questions?"

"no problem……"

"Do you know that the theater next door was robbed?"

"know."

"Did you hear any movement next door yesterday? Or did you see suspicious figures wandering around the entrance of the theater to observe?"

"Let's think about it... Yes! Around the morning of yesterday, I heard the sound of something being smashed next door, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. As for the suspicious person, I don't know very well."

"Then do you know any clues that might relate to the robber?"

"Gone."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

After Lu Nier finished asking this one, he went directly to the next one to ask.

The things they asked were all the same. There were quite a few people who heard strange noises in the theater yesterday, but they didn’t know anything about suspicious characters, and most of the occasional suggestions were not very reliable.

Lu Nier turned around a lot, but didn't ask any useful information. When he was about to meet up, Lu Nier stopped and looked at a person on the side of the road.

To be more precise, it was a shabby-looking middle-aged homeless man in ragged clothes, with a broken bowl in front of him, sitting at the corner not far from the theater.

"Ding."

Lunier squatted down and gently placed a coin into the bowl of the homeless man.

"Hello, can I ask you something?"

"Ah, Investigator, begging shouldn't be illegal, right?!" The homeless man was a little frightened, and seemed to have a psychological shadow on the investigator.

"It's okay, begging is not illegal." Lu Nier said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to ask a few questions."

"Okay... my lord, please."

"Do you know about the robbery of that theater yesterday?" Lu Nier pointed to the theater troupe.

"I know, I know." The homeless man nodded, "I saw the whole process with my own eyes."

"The whole journey?" Lu Nier was not surprised, he just thought that the beggar might have been sitting here yesterday, and he might have seen something, so he came to ask.

"Yes, I saw the robber with my own eyes, walked straight into the theater, and then there was a sound of smashing things, and then I watched him come out with a bag, and ran away over there ’” replied the tramp.

"Can you describe the robber's appearance?"

"I remember this one, black hood, fur coat, tall and thin, about this tall." The homeless man stretched out his hand and stroked a slightly higher position on the top of his head.

As described by the theater security, Lu Nier thought for a while and continued to ask.

"Have you seen anything suspicious around here?"

"Suspicious person?" The tramp thought for a while, "Really, I saw a person walking around here two or three days ago. He was about the same size as the robber, but he was wearing a mask and couldn't see his whole face. That person should be a robber, and his clothes are quite ordinary, and they are different every day."

"Any more?"

"Gone."

"Thank you for your cooperation."

Runier took out a ten-dollar bill and put it in the homeless bowl.

"Thank you, my lord!" The tramp put ten yuan into his pocket in surprise.

"By the way, Mr. Investigator, I thought of another thing just now. This person, he still wears a pair of glasses, and his glasses are probably quite uncomfortable to wear. He often takes them off and puts them on again."

"Glasses? I see."

After Lunier wrote down this information, he went to the meeting point agreed by Alonia, which was in the theater.

When he got to the theatre, Lunier saw a familiar stranger coming into the theater.

第 231

Chapter 229 Incarnation of Robbers (2)

Lu Nier had only met this person once, and he didn't even know his name. The only thing he knew was that she was Angela's colleague, that is to say, she was a reporter.

At this moment, the reporter was talking with Fisher and taking notes.

Lu Nier looked at her and didn't pay attention, but she seemed very interested in Lu Nier.

"Hello, are you the investigator who is investigating this case?" The female reporter came over and spoke to Lu Nier.

"Yes." Lu Nier showed a very cold attitude.

"My name is Ruth, a reporter from the Imperial Daily, may I ask you a few questions?"

"No."

Lu Nier replied casually, and continued to walk forward.

The smile on Ruth's face froze, and she gave Lu Nier a look, but she didn't say anything, and continued to find other people to start consulting.

Lunier came to the place where he had made an appointment with Alonia, that is, the room in the theater where strange objects were stored. When Lunier arrived, Alonia and Li Jie were already there.

"I am back."

"Well, since Lunil has also arrived, let me report the information collected first." Alonia said, "I went to the black market to inquire, and there is no news about the sale of those strange objects recently. , and I also asked a friend in the bureau, he did not find a case similar to this robber, he may have committed the crime for the first time, the next one... Li Jie, come on."

"I finished asking all the troupe members. They didn't come to the theater yesterday because they were on vacation. Only the security guard who was tied up. The usual relationship between the troupe members is okay, and the treatment given to them by the troupe owner, Fisher, is also good. It’s true, there haven’t been any conflicts recently, but... I asked them who might have the motive to steal these rare objects, and they all mentioned the names of other theater companies, thinking that someone was jealous of their booming business, so they wanted to pass this way to spoil their performance."

"Where's Lunier?" After Lize finished speaking, Alonia looked at Lunier again.

"As far as I'm concerned, many people nearby said that they heard the sound of smashing things next door in the morning. A homeless man on the street said that he saw the prisoner walk into the theater with his own eyes. Yes, and he also said that there is a suspicious person wandering around here recently, that suspicious person may be the prisoner, and he has a characteristic of wearing glasses."

After listening, Alonia thought for a while and made a summary.

"If it is to destroy the performance, then all the strange things should be stolen, so that it is more thorough, so unlike other troupes, the prisoner's goal was only the three strange things from the beginning. He was wearing a black hood, Fur coat, this kind of clothing should be obvious when escaping on the street, we can ask along the route of his escape, since it is morning, it means that passers-by should have seen him on the road, after all, he is so conspicuously dressed."

"Captain, what if this thread is also broken?" Lunier asked.

"Then there is no other way." Alonya spread her hands helplessly, "The motive is unknown, and there were no clues left at the scene, so we can only investigate like this."

"learn."

The three of them set off quickly to start questioning along the prisoner's escape route, but they were stopped by Ruth as soon as they reached the theater lobby.

"Hello three investigators, I'm Ruth from the Imperial Daily, may I ask you some questions?"

Maybe Ruth felt that Lu Neil couldn't make sense here, but it might be different to find Alonia.

"No."

Alonia also perfunctory Ruth, and the three walked out directly, leaving Ruth a little angry.

In this way, the three of them split up and began to inquire along the escape route of the prisoner.

As Alonia guessed, the prisoner's strange appearance made some people have a lot of impressions of him, so along this clue, the three of them followed until a remote alley cut off the clue.

This alley is narrow and dark, and the distance from the theater is not very far. Those who saw the prisoner said that the last thing they saw was him walking into this alley.

"really……"

Alonya took a look at the empty alley with only some garbage left.

Although there seemed to be nothing, Alonya carefully checked the alley to see if there were any traces of the prisoner.

The result was nothing, and the clues currently held were completely broken.

A purposeful and well-prepared robbery or theft case like this is actually much more difficult to investigate than a murder case.

Except for impulsive homicide, the vast majority of murders are committed by acquaintances. Even if they are not acquaintances, they must be someone the victim knew, had hatred with him, or had a conflict of interest.

That is to say, most of the murder cases have a fixed circle of suspects, which reduces the range of suspects countless times.

But what about theft and robbery?

For example, one night, when a person was walking on the road, his wallet was suddenly robbed by a person. He didn’t see his face clearly, didn’t know his appearance, only knew his approximate height, fat and thin, and then he ran away quickly up.

then……

How can I check?

There is no way to check!

The thief could be anyone, and the only clue was that he was in that block that night. If you add the stolen wallet, it can also be counted as a clue.

In this situation, even if the best detective in the world is recruited, there is no way to do it, just like a clever woman can't cook without rice.

So Alonia gave up very decisively.

After that, Alonia went back and dealt with Fisher in official words, saying that the Bureau of Investigation would continue to investigate, and then took Lunier and the two back, reported that the mission was suspended, and then took on other missions.

The following cases were all ordinary cases, that is, a reporter said that his neighbor was a cult member, and his behavior was very suspicious every day. He often chanted some strange spells, and occasionally there were some strange singing sounds from home.

It turned out that after Lunier and the others investigated, this so-called cultist "neighbor" was actually just a singer.

The so-called chanting of incantations is actually just thinking about the lyrics, and I can't help but say it in a low voice, and the weird chanting from home is purely practicing my voice. This neighbor is a tenor singer and usually likes to practice his voice.

When it was time for dinner and off work, Lu Nier was ready to make today's appointment.

Going out to dinner with different girls for three consecutive days gave Lu Nier a very strange feeling. In the words of his previous world, this is usually a behavior that can only be done by scumbags.

However, Lunier has a clear conscience. Having dinner with Triss is both compensation and thanks for her help. Most of the reasons for having dinner with Angela are also thanks to her for helping him collect information, and Li Jie's invitation can only be said It was because Lu Nier couldn't think of an excuse to refuse at the moment. He refused at first on the grounds that he didn't have time tomorrow, but he didn't expect that Li Jie would not only ask about tomorrow, but also the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow...

"So complicated……"

For such things that take up his time, Lu Nier has always been reluctant.

"Have you decided where to go today?" Lunier asked.

"It's decided."

"Do you want to go now?"

"Wait, I'll go back and change my clothes."

"What are you talking about?" Alonia joined in the fun curiously.

"It's nothing, Li Jie and I have an appointment to go out for dinner today." Lunier replied.

Alonia didn't speak, but her expression froze, and her eyes when she looked at Lu Nier became a little strange, as if a question mark slowly appeared on her head.

"Don't get me wrong, Li Jie invited me to dinner just to thank me for my help last time." Lunier explained.

"That's right, that's it." Li Jie quickly echoed.

"Oh~" Alonia showed a stunned expression, "So that's the case, then I wish you all a good time tonight."

"Just for dinner."

"Yes, just for dinner."

"I understand, it's just for dinner."

Then the three of them fell silent on the way back.

Back at the Bureau of Investigation, Lu Nier changed into his regular clothes, went downstairs to the living room.

"Captain, let me go out for a while, Li Jie is looking for me and you can tell me."

"Okay, let's go."

After talking to Alonia, Lunier walked out and went to the medical department.

The reason why I went to the medical department was to visit Qin Yulin.

"Master, is the food from the Bureau of Investigation still to your liking?"

"It's okay, but I'm missing an apprentice to eat with me."

Seeing Lu Nier, Qin Yulin, who was lying on the bed reading a book, suddenly became more energetic.

"Are you all right today?" Lunier asked.
