Mystery: Undead don't die from passing fire

Chapter 54 She Must Make a Choice
"so."

On the return carriage, Borgia was silent for a long time, and asked, "Do you want to investigate this Capin next?"

"Investigate."

Al nodded, but quickly shook his head again, "It's just that even if we investigate, we probably won't have any clues."

Capin is unquestionably a scumbag.

If these victims were trafficked, then Capin is undoubtedly the most suspected.

But this time the serial murder case they dealt with is obviously in the style of Blood Worship or Rose School.

Investigation is definitely necessary, but the possibility of finding clues is very small.

"Since we know he is a criminal, can't we arrest him?"

Ember suddenly asked.

"Although I really want to bring this scumbag to justice, unfortunately I can't."

Al's complexion darkened, and he said slowly, "Even if we are Nighthawks, we must act according to the law. Even if we arrest people, we can only arrest criminal suspects. But unfortunately, even if everyone knows that Kapin is a criminal, as long as you don't Evidence will never arrest him."

"Even if you arrest him, he can easily get away with a lawyer's defense."

Capin was undoubtedly a very clever criminal.

For so long, no one has been able to catch him because Kaping is careful enough.

Backlund has a population of 500 million, and 30% of them are gathered in the Eastern District.

It was the most chaotic place in Backlund, and it was also the place where the police force was the laxest.

This also caused more than [-]% of the crimes in Backlund to come from the Eastern District.

And most of these crimes are ordinary crimes, which have nothing to do with extraordinary powers.

For such cases, the official Extraordinary has no power to enforce the law, and these are the responsibility of the Police Department.

Although in theory, the police should fight crimes, in fact, the police in Backlund rarely enforce the law in the East District.

In the East District, there have even been cases where someone killed someone in front of the police, but the police pretended to turn a blind eye.

Because for them, it was the disorder and chaos in the Eastern District that created the 'order' in the other districts.

And Capin was smart because he'd only ever committed crimes on the East Side.

In this way, even if other people know that he is a criminal, there is nothing they can do about him.

Firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, the police are unwilling to offend this rich man who has a relationship with the above.

"No need to guess."

Simon's hoarse voice sounded in the ears of several people, "I think, I probably already know what they have in common."

"what?"

Al was taken aback, and asked subconsciously.

"Eve used to be just like Kathy."

"What's the same?"

Al was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized.

The investigation just now was not fruitless.

At least they have learned that Casey had indeed had to sell his body to make a living.

And as Simon said...

"in the end……"

Al wanted to ask what was going on.

But when he came into contact with Simon's gloomy face, he finally chose to remain silent.

"Feel sorry."

"You don't need to apologize."

Simon took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "It's not shameful. Before becoming a Nighthawk, Eve's life was very difficult. Her father abandoned his wife and son to Bailang when she was young, and her mother pulled Watching the four of them grow up."

"After her mother died of illness due to overwork, the family cut off all sources of income. In order to fill their stomachs and support their younger sister and two younger brothers, she had no choice but to go out to work."

"So, she went to work as a maid in a baron's house."

"However, the meager salary is still not enough to support the four of them."

"Her younger sister was the first to die of starvation, followed by the youngest brother."

"Of the three younger siblings, only one survived."

Simon raised his head, revealing red eyes

"But in order not to lose this job, and to prevent the last brother from starving to death, she can only endure."

"But that damn guy, he actually claimed that Eve seduced him!"

"The blind baron kicked Eve out, and even complained to the servants' association. This made her no longer hired, and she could no longer receive the meager salary that was enough to support the two of them. "

"In order to survive, she was fired and had no choice but to sell her body."

"Do you know? Eve even thought that if she had sold herself instead of being a maid in the first place, maybe her younger siblings wouldn't have to die. Isn't it ridiculous?"

Simon's smile was a little cold, and he gritted his teeth, "But she has clearly broken with the past, and she has a bright future! But why, why at this time! Bang!"

Simon slammed his fist on the wall of the carriage, smashing through it directly, startling the passers-by by the roadside.

But the atmosphere in the carriage seemed a bit heavy, Luo Luota held her chest lightly, feeling a little cramped in her heart for no reason.

Eve is only 19 years old this year!

The relationship between Lolotta and Eve has always been close. Eve once said that her mother died when she was ten years old.

What has she experienced in the past five years?
"If so, can we use this to lock down the identity of the victim in advance?"

Ember saw that the atmosphere was not good, so she changed the subject.

"It's hard."

El bowed his head silently, but Borgia whispered.

"why?"

Ember was puzzled.

"Do you know how many people there are in Backlund?"

Al asked a question back, and before Ember could answer, he said, "A total of 500 million."

"Nearly half of the population of 500 million are women, that's 250 million."

"In Backlund, there are at least one-sixth of women who have done this kind of occupation."

"In other words, the murderer has at least 40 potential targets!"

"Is this a little..."

It was also the first time Luo Luota heard this kind of argument, she opened her mouth but failed to make a sound.

"exaggerate?"

Simon laughed at himself, his smile was pale and cold, and there was a trace of disgust for this world hidden, "But this is reality, this is the capital of the Kingdom of Loen, Backlund."

"As one writer put it, if a woman loses her job as a maid, she must choose between selling her body or starving."

The atmosphere in the carriage fell into silence and silence again.

The only thing they know now is that the victims had to sell their bodies in order to survive, but now they all have legitimate jobs, and they are all quite decent jobs.

This can indeed slightly narrow the scope of suspicion, but it is only reduced from 40 people to 10 people.

One can imagine the difficulty of finding victims among these 10 people.

There is no doubt that the case has reached an impasse again.
