Chapter 463 Cases
Traveling with Karaya is a social activist who was invited together, an editor of a newspaper, and a visiting professor at a university named Campbell.Campbell's point of view calls on the Holy Church of France to loosen canon restrictions, such as giving women the most basic rights, such as allowing intermarriage with foreigners.Kalaye and Campbell also have daily disputes, arguments, or academic inquiries.Campbell is very inclusive. He disagrees with Kalaye's point of view, but it doesn't mean he hates Kalaye.

Campbell was very enthusiastic and persuaded Karaya to stay in a friend's castle together.They had to face questions from the students after the lecture, so they arrived in Brighton two days in advance to prepare.Many people may not understand why it is necessary to prepare in advance.The parties in their academic seminars and debates will not know the questions in advance, and the students will not submit their own questions to the school for review, and the school will not designate which students will speak and which questions will be raised.What's more terrible is that the students who are willing to take the time to participate and ask questions are thorny, and their questions have almost no easy-to-answer questions.These were sharp questions that might even irritate the two professors.

There is also a reason that attendance as a professor is mandatory for answering student questions head-on.Students ask: Is the sun round?The professor replied: Sometimes the moon is bright.The answer is obviously no.The professor replied: In a sense the sun is round.It doesn't work either.Students need to know what you know, not spend time listening to you play word games.The professor can answer: No, the sun is not round.Only when a position is determined can the topic be debated.Maybe no one can convince anyone in the debate, but the truth becomes clearer and clearer, because the participants' thoughts will open as the debate deepens, and thus enter a deeper thinking space.

Lumi Castle is located in the southern outskirts of Brighton, 1 kilometers from the sea and about 3 kilometers from the university.The two professors checked into the castle at [-]:[-] pm on the [-]st, and will go to the university to give speeches and debates on the morning of the [-]rd.

The blade made the first mistake. In order not to cause any impact, they gave up arresting Kalaye at the airport and decided to arrest Kalaye at the hotel instead.Unexpectedly, Campbell invited Kalaye to live in a friend's castle. Kalaye temporarily changed the itinerary and let the staff at the hotel stay lonely.

That evening, Baron Lumi and several local dignitaries had dinner with two professors, one of whom was a member of the royal family.Some were hostile and prepared to ask Kalaye some religious questions at dinner.

Because of this, the arrest operation was scheduled for the next morning.

Unexpectedly, at eight o'clock the next morning, the housekeeper of Lumi Castle reported the police, claiming that Kalaye had died.

Lumi Castle is also called a pocket castle by the locals. It is not far from the road and has a small area.Lumi Castle covers an area of ​​only 500 square meters.The main building is a rectangular three-story structure covering an area of ​​[-] meters.The layout is traditional, the first floor is the living room, kitchen, etc., and there are more than [-] rooms of different sizes from the second to third floors.Lumi himself is a jeweler, and his other residence is in the Brighton town house.

Lumi Castle is equipped with eight security guards, five maids, a driver, a gardener, two chefs and a housekeeper.Staff quarters are also within the castle, located in secondary buildings flanking the castle.

Liu Zhen used the computer to release the blueprint and introduced: "Lumi Castle was a coastal defense warning castle back then. It retains a tradition: the curfew time is after ten o'clock in the evening. Perhaps it is to prevent the enemy from infiltrating at night, which makes the castle structure different from ordinary castles. Same."

There are two doors in the main building, the main entrance and the back entrance, which will be closed and locked at ten o'clock in the evening.According to the housekeeper's instructions, unless there is a need for safety and health, the two doors will not be opened until six o'clock tomorrow morning.The time of Kalaye's death was twelve o'clock at night.The cause of death was poisoning, and cyanide was found in the mineral water on the table in his room.No cyanide was found anywhere else in the castle except for the bottle of mineral water and Kalaye's body.

The physical evidence department believes that someone pierced the mineral water bottle with a needle and dripped cyanide, and removed the other two bottles of water in the refrigerator, leaving only one bottle of toxic mineral water.According to the timeline explained by the witness, when the guests left at 45:[-] in the evening, the butler ordered the maid to replenish food and mineral water in the refrigerators of the two guests' rooms, and replace flowers.At [-]:[-] in the evening, everyone who was playing cards in the living room returned to their rooms.

Therefore, the poisoning time is between 45:[-] and [-]:[-] in the evening.

The people living in the castle that day included the owner Lumi, Professor Campbell, the butler, three maids, and a cook, all of whom had the opportunity to poison.Castle monitoring showed that after [-]:[-]pm, no one entered or left the castle, no one climbed, no one threw anything.The witnesses found no syringes, no cyanide.

Liang Xi understood the case, but didn't understand the intention: "It is not the job of the anti-terrorism office to solve the case. Besides, is there any point in catching the murderer?"

Liu Zhendao: "Based on the current information, the murderer must be someone who of course stayed in the main building of the castle."

Liang Xi nodded: "If there is no technical cheating, it should be."

Liu Zhen asked: "Except for Kalaye, the other suspects are ordinary people, right?"

Liang Xi agreed: "That's right."

Liu Zhendao: "The arrest of Kalaye is a secret operation of the Blade Department."

Liang Xi understood a bit: "Do you suspect that the blade leaked the secret?"

Liu Zhen nodded: "If Kalaye killed himself, there are many possibilities. If Kalaye committed suicide, there is only one possibility, the blade leaks the secret." After the blade leaked the secret, Kalaye knew that he would be arrested tomorrow morning, so he committed suicide.

Liu Zhendao: "This case cannot be investigated by Dao Feng. We have to give an answer: whether Kalaye committed suicide."

"If you want to say that, the case becomes very weird. Assuming that Kalaye committed suicide, since Kalaye had cyanide in his hands, why did he commit suicide by injecting mineral water?" Liang Xi said: "From the evidence, this case is very It was obviously a homicide. Why do you suspect suicide? Because you suspect that there are spies in Daofeng, you suspect that Kalaye committed suicide. I cannot understand this logic."

Liu Zhendao: "The suspects are all ordinary people. The housekeeper, the maid, and the chef have worked in the castle for more than ten years. The remaining two suspects, Lumi and Professor Campbell, are powerless people. They may kill people." , but they should not do it themselves. Therefore, the police suspect that Kalaye committed suicide, and he committed suicide by injecting mineral water to rule out the possibility of suicide and protect the blade spies who disclosed information to him.”

Liang Xi said: "Let's be reasonable, okay? The Holy Banner is only left with underpants now. What value does Kalaye have to make the Blade Agent take risks for him? Judging from the cases I have been in contact with before, the Blade Agent may exist, and its identity It may be related to the Dark Society. It has never been found that the spies are directly related to the holy flag. It took many days from the layout to the deception to capture Kalaye. Why did the spies sell the information when they got to the door? So my opinion is, Even if someone leaked secrets in this case and caused Kayev to commit suicide, it has nothing to do with Blade."

Liu Zhen felt reasonable: "What do you think?"

Liang Xi said: "Don't always suspect that there is a conspiracy, and refuse to let the criminal police intervene in the case. From the perspective of the criminal police, this case is very simple and not difficult to solve. First of all, we can be sure that when Kalaye moved into the castle, he did not know that someone Arrest him. Second question, where did the cyanide come from?"

Liu Zhen pondered: "Cyanide needs to be declared or smuggled. It is unlikely that Kalaye brought it into the country. Where did the cyanide come from?" It is also possible that Kalaye hid the cyanide to pass the customs, but his purpose of hiding the cyanide to pass the customs Just to commit suicide in England?
Liang Xi said: "If Kalaye committed suicide, there is only one possible answer. The person who attended the dinner brought cyanide, gave the cyanide to Kalaye, and explained the truth. This speculation violates a physical evidence, 9:30 The maid filled the small refrigerator with three bottles of water, and only the poisonous one was left after the incident. Before Kalaye committed suicide, he transferred the two bottles of non-toxic water to other places. Is he idle and bored?"

Liang Xidao: "It was a coincidence that Karaya's stay in Lumi's Castle was due to Campbell's invitation. The guests attending the dinner were invited by Lumi, and it was a certain accident. In summary, the possibility of Karaya's suicide is extremely low. The murderer Who is it? I guess, I just guess, I think it was Campbell."

Liang Xi said: "This is a murder, not a murder of passion. In a murder case, the person who caused the accident is the most suspicious. Although Karaya and Campbell knew each other, they held different opinions. Coincidentally, they were on the same flight. Then appeared By chance, Kalaye did not check into the hotel he booked, but stayed in Lumi Castle. According to the transcript, Campbell invited Kalaye to stay in Lumi Castle on the plane. But Campbell is not the owner of Lumi Castle, but just a friend. As a social event Campbell, why did you invite the guests before contacting the owner of the castle?"

Liang Xi said: "It is most likely that Campbell contacted Lumi before boarding the plane, telling him that he might bring a friend to stay in the castle. As long as he asks a few targeted questions to a few people, he can figure it out."

Liang Xi said: "The layout of the castle, the owner must live on the third floor, the staff will not live close to the guests, the guests should live together. From 9:30 to 10:45 in the evening, Lumi, Campbell and Kara Yedu was playing cards, and everyone went back to the room at 10:45, and there was very little time to commit crimes during this period, so how did they poison them?"

Liang Xi said: "The best way is for Campbell to poison a bottle of water in his room beforehand. At 9:30, when everyone saw off the guests, Campbell went back to the room on the second floor and sent the water to the Karaya refrigerator in the next room It only takes 20 seconds. At 10:45, the game ended, and everyone went back to their rooms. Campbell went to Karaya to borrow water. The reason was cleanliness, he didn’t like tap water, he wanted to wash with mineral water, or for other reasons, he took I took two bottles of non-toxic water. Put the non-toxic water back into the mineral water box in the living room on the first floor."

Liang Xi said: "This is murder, and there must be a plan for the murder. Campbell and Lumi are good friends, and they often go to live in Brighton Lumi Castle. They are very familiar with Lumi Castle. So they used the location and people to arrange the murder scene. "

Liu Zhen: "Where is the evidence?"

"Evidence?" Liang Xi said, "I never provide evidence."

Liu Zhen was speechless.

Liang Xi said: "Of course we can't rule out other possibilities. For example, someone wanted to kill Campbell, and Kalaye was killed by accident. Ann, tell Cyclops not to do anything, this matter can't be related to Agent Blade."

Liu Zhen said in amazement: "Roger shares the same opinion as you. He thinks that the one-eyed man should take the rhythm and create a situation where everyone is in danger inside the blade. Once it is confirmed or everyone suspects that there are spies inside, the mutual trust will be greatly reduced. .And one-eyed is someone who no one will suspect spies. Although Roger thinks so, I still hope you can go to Brighton to solve the case."

"It's boring, don't go." Liang Xi said: "Let Romeo go, this kind of case is not difficult for him. I will call Isa."

Liang Xi contacted Yisha: "Hey, Yisha, how are you doing recently?... One-eyed crossed the line, you'd better warn him, otherwise we can only arrange someone to catch him... Do you want to eat? Okay, I will contact the card Lin... ok, ok..."

Karin was short of time and was exploited by Liang Xi, so she couldn't spare time to accompany her pregnant sister-in-law.Karin chose the simplest form of compensation: money.She spent £15 on a holiday home in the seaside town of Newcastle for the new family formed by Issa and Baker.It seems to be given to Baker, but it is actually to please Isha who likes to fish in the sea.Isa, who received the gift, naturally wanted to express her gratitude in return, so she invited Karin and Liang Xi to have dinner at home on weekends.

The more people you know, the more time you spend on socializing.After reaching a certain age, people are more pursuing a simple life, and they hope to solve many trivial things with money instead of consuming their own time and energy.

Isa contacts Cyclops, who tells him not to think she's the smartest person.It was originally just a murder case, but because of your conspiracy, the case became complicated and confusing.If she was caught again, she promised that Cyclops would quit this circle completely.

One-eyed was subdued, and explained to Isa that he hoped to strengthen people's attention to traitors through this incident, and launched an operation to catch traitors by the way, digging out the moths inside the blade.Yisha told: If catching a moth causes most good people to be suspected, resulting in a lack of basic trust among the blade staff, she would rather not catch this moth.

Whatever the outcome of the Kalaye case, Kalaye's death is a fact.This shows that there are only the last two women left in Shengqi.As a consultant of the Anti-Terrorism Office, Liang Xi browsed the information of Kalaye in the police.Because Kalaye is French, British police have little information.If Kalaye had no criminal record, the French police would have no further information.

All Liang Xi could get was Kalaye's basic information, passport number, home address, and emergency contact phone number of Kalaye's wife.I can’t see any social information in these messages, and I don’t even know the number of Kalaye’s must-death accounts, and it’s not clear whether Kalaye has a Youtube account.
