I am a Taoist priest in the extraordinary world

Chapter 55 Suicide?

"You mean, my husband left a letter saying he committed suicide?"

Catherine sat on the expensive leather sofa, her face was full of disbelief, her expression was frozen, and she didn't react for a long time.

"Yes, I'm sorry to bring back such sad news." Dante said in a low tone.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Catherine seemed unable to accept this. She shook her head and said quickly:
"Where's the body? Have you seen the body?"

"No, Mr. Anthony said in his letter that he would prefer to return to the sea."

Dante paused for a moment, looked into Catherine's eyes, and added:

"I can contact the police station to search for the remains."

"Where can I find it in the vast sea?"

Catherine lowered her head and muttered to herself, her hands even began to tremble.

"How could he have left a letter and killed himself? How could he have done that."

Ivy glanced in Dante's direction, wanting to say something, but he shook his head slightly.

"Mrs. Catherine, that's what happened. Your husband didn't cheat, nor did he violate the rules. He's just tired."

Dante considered his words, his blue eyes stared at Catherine's delicately made-up face, and found that the latter's expression had always maintained the original unbelievable look.

He looked away, looked at this low-key but luxurious house, and changed the subject:
"The villa you live in was bought after you came to Nolan City?"

"Well, yes, he also said it was a gift for me"

Catherine covered her face and buried her head in it, her body trembling more and more.

"Why is he like this. It shouldn't be like this"

"Why did Mr. Anthony do this, I think you should know the answer."

Dante stood up and tidied up the folds of the suit, as if he didn't want to stay any longer.

"If you have nothing else to do, then this commission will be considered complete."

Ivy looked over with some confusion, she didn't quite understand her companion's behavior at this time.

"Although it wasn't the result I wanted, I still thank you two for your hard work in this commission."

Catherine raised her head, her eyes were a little red, but her makeup was not affected by it, and a smile was forced on her face:
"Since my husband left a suicide note, I choose to honor his last wish."

"You should indeed give him the necessary respect."

Dante glanced at her, reached into his inside pocket, and pulled out a small wad of notes.

"I charged you a deposit of 5 pounds before, and after deducting the fees in the investigation, this is the remaining 4 pounds and 17 shillings."

"Are you?" Catherine didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked at him in confusion.

"Some money is not worth my money." Dante had no intention of explaining, and his smile looked a little cold and alienated.

"I don't understand, this is the reward you deserve, and I don't even think it's enough to express my gratitude to you."

"No need."

Dante put the money on the marble coffee table, without even looking at it, nodded to Ivy, and walked out of the gate.

The silver-haired little assistant, although he felt that his companion had become weird since he got off the car, he didn't ask too many questions, and quickly followed him out.

"Why was the letter not given to her?"

As soon as Ivy got into the car, she asked suspiciously.

"Not yet."

Dante closed the car door, looked at the house that was not much different from his own in appearance, and turned back:

"Let's go back and call Joseph or George first, and then contact the police station to come together."

He paused, suppressing his feeling in the villa just now, but the result of the initial divination came to mind again.

On the day of the new year, the food injury is prosperous, and the official star declines and sits in the tomb.
Dante's body leaned back, his whole face was hidden in the darkness, and he sighed vaguely for a long time.

"I think your White Rose Detective Agency is going to pay me off because it's a federally mandated break."

With a cigarette in his mouth, Joseph did not light it, and yawned boredly.

"A member of the House of Representatives famously said that working overtime is the best benefit for citizens."

George's tone was teasing. He was combing his hair in front of the rearview mirror, and in his left hand was actually holding a half bottle of Black Snake Orchid, a strong alcohol produced in the Republic of Sarlayan, which had a lot of stamina.

"If the captain is also here, I don't think the two of you will let yourself go like this?"

Ivy sighed, pondered for a long time, and said with a fierce expression, "We are here for a mission!"

"Little Ivy, if you weren't a delicate and cute baby face, the effect might be better."

George blinked, turned his head to Dante, who was leaning on the seat with his hands folded and his eyes closed:
"Hey, rookie, are you sure your feelings and inferences are correct? You must know that even Extraordinary people can't arrest people without any evidence, and they can't use extraordinary power on ordinary people without authorization."

"Anthony appeared 2 months ago, but Catherine said that she hadn't seen him for 4 months. This flaw is really too big."

Ai Wei took the initiative to explain, and then turned around, "Did you deduce it based on this? Or was it because she sensed something different in her house? We need conclusive evidence."

"There are, but none of them are the main reasons."

Dante opened his eyes, glanced at the darkened villa across the street, and said:
"The main reason is that Anthony was at fault for trying to protect his wife too well."

"Too well protected?" The other three were a little puzzled.

"He knows Catherine very well, so he must know that Catherine wants to kill him."

Dante recalled the contents of the letter and continued: "He thought that as long as he faked the idea of ​​committing suicide first, and then through the mouths of Shaar and everyone in the Iron Thorn Bar, he could initially clear Catherine's suspicion."

"After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, for a decent person with physical problems, bisexuality, and a flamboyant wife, suicide is the best ending after everything is known to others and used as talk.

Afterwards, he intentionally left a letter to the police station, expressing his attitude, strengthening the "suicide" again, and implying that he himself chose to commit suicide by jumping into the sea on the grounds of 'returning to the sea', so that the dead body It's nowhere to be found.

Given the style of the Nuolan City Police Department, it is better to do less than to do more, and the case will probably be completely closed and dismissed hastily. "

"So you judged that Catherine was the real murderer based on this? Anthony was killed by her?"

Joseph turned his head and asked doubtfully:
"What about the motive and evidence? You know that Catherine's source of income is all counted on her husband, and Anthony is so stupid? His wife wants to kill him, and he also helps to fake suicide?"

"Yeah, I never thought there would be someone like him."

Dante shook his head and said:
"Judging from Xia Ya and others' more or less descriptions and impressions of Catherine, she is an extremely selfish and dissolute woman in the eyes of everyone. She never thinks that there is a problem with herself, and she will only shirk all the faults on her. on the husband."

"Catherine still receives the living expenses remitted by the Brown family every month. It must be because of the mention in the letter Anthony left for his parents. As for her motives and evidence"

He watched the police car gradually approaching from a distance, and smiled silently:

"Although abilities cannot be abused, we are a world with Extraordinary beings after all."

After finishing speaking, he silently added a sentence in his heart:
Of course, I'd rather hope I'm wrong.
