Chapter 54 She must make a choice

"so."

On the carriage ride back, Borgia was silent for a long time and asked, "Are we going to investigate this Kaping next?"

"Investigate."

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

Kapin is undoubtedly a scumbag.

If these victims were trafficked, then Kaping is undoubtedly the most likely suspect.

But the serial murder case they dealt with this time was obviously in the style of the Blood Cult or the 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 would also like to bring this scumbag to justice, unfortunately I cannot."

Al's face darkened and he said slowly, "Even if we are Nighthawks, we must act in accordance with 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

The evidence would never have led to his arrest."

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

Capin is undoubtedly a very smart criminal.

No one has been able to catch him for so long because Kapara is cautious enough.

Backlund has a population of five million, and 30% of them are concentrated in the East District.

It is the most chaotic place in Backlund and the place where the police force is the most lax.

This has also resulted in more than 90% of all crimes in Backlund coming from the East District.

And most of these crimes are ordinary crimes and have nothing to do with extraordinary power.

For such cases, the official extraordinary people have no law enforcement power, and these are all the responsibility of the police department.

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

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

Because for them, it is the disorder and chaos in the East District that creates the ‘order’ in other districts.

But Kapin is smart because he only commits crimes in the East District.

In this way, even if others know that he is a criminal, there is nothing they can do against him.

Firstly, there is no evidence, and secondly, the police are not willing to offend this rich man who has connections with the higher-ups.

"No need to guess."

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

"What?"

Al was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"Eve used to be just like Cathy."

"What's the same?"

El was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.

The investigation just now was not fruitless.

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

And Simon said the same thing...

"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, "This is not shameful. Before becoming a Nighthawk, Eve's life was very difficult. Her father abandoned his wife and son when she was still young and went to court. Her mother pulled

The four siblings grew up with them."

"After her mother died of illness due to overwork, the family cut off all sources of income. In order to fill her stomach and support her 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 siblings."

"Her sister was the first to starve to death, followed by her youngest brother."

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

Simon raised his head, revealing his red eyes

"But in order not to lose this job and not to let her last brother starve to death, she can only endure it."

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

"The blind baron kicked Eve out and even complained to the Servants' Association, so that after she was kicked out, she would no longer be employed by anyone, and she would no longer be able to receive the meager salary that was enough to support the two siblings.

"

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

"Do you know? Eve even once thought that if she had not become a maid at the beginning, but directly sold her body, maybe her younger brothers and sisters would not have to die. Isn't it ridiculous?"

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

Simon punched the wall of the carriage, smashing it directly through and startling the passers-by.

However, the atmosphere inside the carriage seemed a bit heavy. Luoluota lightly covered her chest, feeling a little cramped in her heart for no reason.

Eve is only 19 years old this year!

Loretta and Eve have always had a close relationship. 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 identify the victim in advance?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was not good, Yu Yan changed the subject.

"It's hard."

Al lowered his head silently, but Borgia whispered.

"Why?"

Ember is puzzled.

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

Al asked in return, and without waiting for Ember's answer, he took the initiative and said, "A whole five million."

"Nearly half of the five million people are women, that's two and a half million."

"And in Backlund, there are at least 1/6 women who have ever had such a career."

"In other words, the murderer's potential targets are at least 400,000 people!"

"Is this a bit..."

It was also the first time for Luoluota to hear such an argument. She opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

"exaggerate?"

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

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

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

The only thing they know now is that the victims once 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 narrow the scope of suspicion slightly, but it only reduces it from 400,000 to 100,000.

You can imagine how difficult it is to find victims among these 100,000 people.

There is no doubt that the case has reached a deadlock again.
