Chapter 167 Fire at the city gate
"Mr. Marvin, Congressman, please come over here." Annick said looking at the thin man in front of him.
"Now? I'll be there right away." Marvin just turned around and left. Annick hit him on the right shoulder where he was holding the briefcase with a knife.
The power of extraordinary people is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. Marvin let go of the briefcase in pain, and Annick quickly picked it up.
"Mr. Inspector, what are you doing?" Marvin asked pretending to be calm as he watched his briefcase being taken away.
"Nothing, Mr. Congressman, let me show you the physical evidence now. Mr. Marvin, don't even think about escaping. This theater is full of police officers inside and outside, and all the citizens have left."
When Marvin heard this, his legs were a little unsteady, but he still managed to say something.
"I don't understand what you are talking about, Mr. Inspector."
"It doesn't matter whether you understand or not."
Senator Frey and Captain Parker approached the edge of the stage, while Annick opened his briefcase. In addition to a pile of scattered documents, he found a tie clip, a gold-plated stand and a pearl inlaid on it in the outer mezzanine.
.
"Congressman Frey, this tie clip should be the one on Mr. Mick's tie."
"Yes." Frey replied without even looking at it carefully.
"Mr. Marvin, please answer, why is the victim's tie clipped to you? You just bought the same style of this deception."
"Uh, can't I just pick it up?" Marvin still wanted to quibble.
"There's no point in lying here. The real purpose of this tie clip is positioning. Brothers upstairs, please help pull the curtains."
As the curtains were drawn, the pearls on the tie clip in Annick's hand glowed faintly. Marvin opened his mouth wide and asked when he saw the man slumped on the ground.
"You sensed something was wrong from there."
"At the beginning, it only took me two or three minutes to rush to the stage from the back row, but I felt strange that you spent nearly ten minutes in the guest area before coming over. Either I rushed out with the others, or
Come to the stage immediately." Annick pointed at his pocket watch and said.
"Any more?"
"Yes, Captain Parker didn't even say who the deceased was, but you just blurted out that it was Mick. He obviously fell there face down."
"My mistake, please take me away." Marvin didn't want to explain.
"No, no, Mr. Marvin, let's continue chatting. I can almost guess the motive. Because of jealousy and betrayal anger?" Annick also sat on the ground and started talking to Marvin.
"You are so smart, of course I will be jealous. Why should I work so hard to support this old bastard who is busy and even contributes to his wife? In the end, the position of regional councilor promised to me was easily traded away.
"
Hey, dirty deal, Annick looked at Senator Frey.
"Didn't I agree that I would give you a parliamentary secretary? Isn't the parliamentary secretary of the House of Commons better than a regional member?" Senator Frey asked rhetorically.
"You can exchange regional councilors for political resources today, but who knows whether you will exchange the position of congressional secretary tomorrow." Marvin's words were like a hammer hitting Frey's psychology.
The seemingly friendly relationship had broken down. Annick shook his head.
"You gave this tie clip to Mick, right? If someone discovers the secret of this tie clip, can it be traced back to you soon?"
"Haha, it's self-defeating. I should have known better than to take this thing down." Marvin said with a bitter smile.
"Who gave you that knife, and how much do you know about Smith's death?"
"The knife is my own, and the poison was given by them. I don't know who it is. I only know that they all have their faces covered. A man whose face I couldn't see shared this plan in my dream half a month ago. They gave me
Create chaos and space, and I'm responsible for keeping Frey out of the House of Commons."
Are you in a dream? The opponent is at least a person with supernatural powers, Annick made a judgment.
"Did they also teach you to write the threatening letter?"
"Yes, I realized something was wrong when you came to the regional council this week to ask about the special paper, but I calmed down thinking that there are hundreds of people in the council who have the opportunity to come into contact with this kind of paper."
What a cunning group of manipulators hiding behind the scenes. It seemed that Marvin couldn't find any clues, but Annick still tried to ask.
"What are their distinctive characteristics? For example, their clothing and accent."
"I can't tell the difference in accent. He must be from the same country. He is also wearing ordinary black night clothes. The leader has a half-exposure playing card in his breast pocket, which is the five of spades." Marvin tried his best to recall the details.
.
Okay, they are old acquaintances again, Cross Rose Club. I wonder if they are related to Miss Rose. Annick shook his head.
"Captain, let's just deal with this matter here. It involves the Cross of Roses Society again. Senator Frey, have you received any threatening letters with such an icon recently?"
Annick made a cross on the ground and filled the four corners with roses.
"I received a letter warning me not to run on the National Bank. At that time, I thought it was a prank by a political opponent and threw it into the trash can. I didn't expect that they would dare to do it for real, cause a big explosion and even use my secretary.
." Frey looked very annoyed.
"I think they find it more difficult to end your political life, so these lunatics plan to end your biological life." Annick came up with a witticism and said it.
"My political life is over. My secretary murdered his successor out of jealousy, and he was from the well-known Tui family. Even if I enter the House of Commons, I guess no party or committee will accept me. Forget it, I will be a rich man.
Wengba."
The ambitious politician in front of him also gave up his ambition after seeing the real death threat. This is undoubtedly reflected in the mature politician's ability to adapt to the current situation.
"Please, Mr. Marvin, our inquiry is over. Next you have to face the little black people." Annick got up and helped Marvin up.
"Please give them a good time." Marvin's face turned even pale with fright when he heard the little black man.
"They are not all bad people. I know an old man who is amiable." Annick comforted.
After returning the uniforms of the parliamentary police, Annick and Bell took a carriage back to the substation together. When passing by the explosion block on the opposite side, a fire truck with four or five horses pulling a wooden water tank was working hard to extinguish the fire.
"What a generous act. In order to prevent a politician he didn't like from entering the House of Commons, he even detonated the gas pipeline in a block." Annick said while looking at the still smoking street.
"Is there any result? Mr. Annick." Little Bell asked.
"Half of it is done, we can't interfere with the rest. Little Bell, what do you think of this group of people?"
"Be angry. If I had the opportunity to catch them, I would definitely not be able to help but shoot them. They would mess up other people's lives for their own purposes. Life is like child's play in their eyes." Little Bell replied seriously.
