my wife is a consul

Chapter 314 Entering the role
In the evening, Zoff came, and the material he brought was only a dozen pages, but the densely packed handwriting was obviously handwritten by him, and he should rack his brains while writing, very detailed material.

It records that the three gunmen are all workers of a small local tannery. They are usually in the factory, but occasionally they are seen riding horses around the town, sometimes fighting with people in bars, and they are also a little famous.

The tannery where the three of them work is a family business and one of the few small workshops in this town. There are dozens of workers. The family is called the Hodelman family. It is a very old and large family on the peninsula with many branches. , the Hodelman family in the small town is one of them.

The most prosperous branch of this family has served as the privy chief of the Duke of Hausburg for generations.

Of course, the surname Hodelman is too old, so these so-called Hodelman families are not closely related to each other, and they can even be said to be like passers-by.

Lu Ming felt that it was as if his surnames in his previous life, such as Zhang and Liu, were said to be an ancestor thousands of years ago, but the descendants had nothing to do with it.

However, because the Hodelman family is regional, it is located on the peninsula, so there is an organization similar to the clan association, but only a few relatively prosperous families are used for friendship and cooperation.

Rooney, the current owner of the Peninsula Club and the Peninsula Hotel, is a distant relative of the Hoddleman family in this town. His great-grandfather and the grandfather of the current Hoddleman family are cousins. Rooney’s great-grandfather left the town decades ago. , went to the downtown area of ​​Houseville to make a living, but worked out a world.

Under the night light, Lu Ming flipped through the materials in his hand and pondered some possibilities.

Lu Ming couldn't understand Zoff's original manuscript written in Western language, so a careful female servant translated it into Zhongzhou language for him.

Someone knocked on the door lightly, and the girl in snow-white clothes who came was Isabel.

"Teacher, what shall we do next?" Isabel blinked her green eyes.

"Do you have any ideas?" Lu Ming smiled.

"With the current signs, the teacher should also suspect that some members of the Hodelman family were involved in this case, right? The Delman family in this small town may be the real executor of this assassination, and the Hodelman family is very likely They are participants in the separatist movement. They assassinated the Duke of Housesburg in order to make the Duke of Housesburg extinct. In the Houseville area, the existence of the Duke of Housesburg is also one of the symbols of its close connection with the empire. Many houses The people of Swell also regard the Duke of Housesburg as their traditional lord representative, without the Duke of Housesville, the separatist movement of Housesville will lose the most important shackle and become more logical."

Isabel glanced at Lu Ming, saw that Lu Ming had remained calm, thought for a while and said, "Also, even if my estimation is wrong, we can only follow this clue, which is the town of Chaben. The Hodelman family." After a pause, "Of course, the investigation of Zoff should also be conducted in secret."

Lu Ming finally nodded, "Then, do you have any ideas on how to find out the most prestigious family in this town?"

Isabel sighed softly: "It's very difficult. Even if the three gunmen really received orders from the Hodelman family, there is no evidence now, unless the person who sent the orders admits it himself, and it is also difficult for us to know their Which member of this family assigned the program that sent the order?"

Lu Ming nodded, "One more thing, this is still our fixed thinking. From the appearance, we believe that the three gunmen were appointed by the factory owner's family, but what if they are not?"

Isabel frowned, "The students think that the possibility of the factory owner's family appointing the three of them is still very high, because these three people have a common feature, they are all orphans without immediate relatives, and, from the assassination process, Their use of firearms, their timing, and the accuracy of their marksmanship all show that they have undergone long-term training, so why are such three people willing to work as workers in a leather factory in such a small town?"

"The time for their spear training should be a long-term process, and the daily training time will be very long. They are training three professional killers. If there is no accommodation from the boss, it will be difficult for the three of them to do their jobs well. What's more, it's strange to be willing to lurk in this factory. If someone trained the three of them to lurk here, so that they can be used to assassinate someone in the future and mislead our investigation direction after committing a crime, then we have to investigate Going down, we still have to look for clues from the three workers in the factory and the factory owner."

Lu Ming nodded silently.

"Besides, if it wasn't for Teacher, you can accurately determine the origins of the three gunmen. In fact, it would be difficult for us to verify their true identities. Therefore, I still prefer that it is not someone who deliberately made the three gunmen lurking here. They have been working in this factory since they were young, and they are all orphans, someone selected them to secretly train professional killers, the most likely person is the management of the factory."

Lu Ming nodded: "If you put everything out, it seems that the members of the Hodelman family here are becoming more and more suspicious."

"The teacher also thinks what I said makes sense." Isabel's green eyes lit up.

"Well, you are very talented in investigating cases, being a soldier is a waste of your talent!" Lu Ming smiled.

"Really?" Isabel's little face was a little happy, "Tell me the teacher, my ideal career was to be a police detective. I envy Anne very much. She was a police detective when she was in the north, right? But, My mother, everything has been arranged for me, and if I have any thoughts on such a difficult case, if I want to talk to her, she will definitely not listen to a word, she will always be my child."

Lu Ming was stunned. It turned out that if Chris was a mother, she couldn't avoid it.

But for herself, she is very understanding and tolerant. It seems that non-born and biological are treated differently. In her eyes, biological daughters are always children who need protection and help to plan their lives.

"Teacher, you lied to me, right? I analyzed it, do you really think it makes sense?" Isabel suddenly looked at Lu Ming suspiciously, a little unconfident.

Lu Ming rolled his eyes, "Even if Chris says something wrong, I won't flatter her on purpose, okay?"

Isabel pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard Grandma Li said that you forced my mother to apologize to you."

Lu Ming smiled: "So, why should I lie to you? Is it just to make you happy? Is it necessary?"

Isabel immediately nodded again and again, her delicate and pretty face glowed, and she looked a little excited, "Thank you teacher!" It seemed that I almost blurted out the words of thanking my father.

Lu Ming frowned, why did he gradually feel that his stepfather had entered the role?
I have also somewhat touched the veins of this noble and beautiful girl. In fact, Isabel has a very elegant and docile personality in her bones, but she is very stubborn on the outside. She is a typical example of being strong on the outside and soft on the inside, which is the exact opposite of her mother Christine.

Moreover, she has never seen her father since she was a child, and she grew up under the guidance of a strong mother. In fact, deep down, she needs father's love very much, and she has always hoped to have her father's persuasive encouragement. She is only responsible for being a happy little padded jacket.

If Bisi hadn't met herself, she would be like this when she grows up, right?How many, there are some lack of feelings, children who grow up in single-parent families, to be more serious, are really prone to personality problems.

Normal people, sometimes it's hard to understand them.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming shook his head.

Seeing Isabel's eager expression, Lu Ming smiled and said, "I feel that you have an idea on how to proceed with the investigation, so let's hear it." Seeing her hesitation, he encouraged him: "I said, in the investigation, You are talented, be confident!"

Isabel nodded: "Okay! Teacher, don't scold me if I say something wrong, I think so..." I can see that her green eyes are full of happiness.
