Chapter 424: Metropolis Doubt (10)

The night is getting deeper and deeper, looking out from the wooden window spirit, you can see the dark end of the night, and there is a faint dark blue.

At first, there was no light in the hallway, but as white snowflakes drifted past the window, the wood floor on the windowsill and hallway smothered like moonlight.

A gust of breeze came in from the gap in the window in the hallway, and blew off the piece of paper attached to the door. When the piece of paper fell to the ground, the words "Do not disturb" were written on it.

Passing through the door, a figure was sitting beside the bed. He had changed into pajamas and turned off the chandelier on the ceiling of the guest room and the wall lamp on the wall, leaving only one lamp on the bedside table still on.

When the table lamp is on, it will cast a cone-shaped halo upwards on the wall and corner it is close to, and there are thick shadows in other places outside this halo.

The dim light and the reflections of the snowflakes are intertwined. Just looking at it makes people feel the cold outside and the warmth inside, making them even more sleepy and drowsy.

Schiller put the glasses in the case, looked up at the snow that was falling outside the window, and took out an umbrella from the shadows under the bed.

He put the handle of the umbrella against the bedside table, and a ray of light from the lamp poured down the tube of the umbrella. When it hit the umbrella surface, the strange and mysterious patterns on it were reflected, which were somewhat like snakeskin patterns. But the meandering arc of the curve is larger, and it seems to be slowly changing under the background of the light.

Putting the umbrella away, Schiller lay down on the bed, stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt over, gradually adjusting his breathing so that the frequency became lower, just as his consciousness was about to sink into the white space, suddenly, the ground There was another series of rapid noises, and the sound of heels stepping on the wooden floor sounded one after another.

"Winter, winter, winter..."

The knock on the door came from Schiller's dream, but it failed to wake him up immediately,

"Dongdong Dongdong! Dongdong!"

The knocking on the door became more and more urgent. Schiller, who had just fallen asleep, slowly opened his eyes. He slowly sat up from the bed, picked up the glasses case unhurriedly, took out the glasses inside and put them on again. When he heard Kayla's voice coming from outside the door.

"Professor Rodriguez! Are you there? Professor Rodriguez! Please wake up! Another death!"

Schiller sat on the edge of the bed. He tilted his head and glanced at the clock on the wall. It showed that it was 3:00 in the morning, and only an hour and a half had passed since Kayla came to inform Mrs. Schiller Davis of her death. .

Schiller stood up. He didn't mean to change into formal clothes, but turned around and reached out to pick up the umbrella.

He opened the door, Kayla's hair was falling down, and it seemed that she was going to sleep, but she was suddenly called up. Kayla looked into Schiller's eyes and said:

"Laonel Luthor is dead."

Schiller took a step forward and seemed to want to go out like this, but Kayla didn't let go, so Schiller didn't go out either. Kayla looked up and down at Schiller and said, "Sorry, but you plan to go out like this. ?"

Saying that, her eyes fell on the umbrella in Schiller's hand.

Kayla turned her head and glanced at the snowflakes that were getting bigger and bigger outside the corridor window. She sighed, but gave way, and followed behind Schiller and said, "Our luck is not very good, if the blizzard continues, Then I'm afraid no one can leave this manor."

"Isn't this exactly what you want? You gathered everyone here, and then cut off the signal, isn't it just to find out the spies among us?"

"If the heavy snow continues for the last month, you will have one month to complete these tasks, but don't tell me that your detection efficiency is not as good as that of the FBI. Even if the FBI comes here, one month should be enough. ."

Kayla was choked, but she said: "Four deaths in a few hours, the spy's methods are really cruel."

"Or rather, even old Luther is dead now, and you are almost unable to take this responsibility. If it wasn't for the heavy snow, you might have lifted the blockade and let everyone leave."

"It's not us that trapped this snow, it's you," Schiller concluded.

Schiller is right. The combined energy of all the celebrities on the East Coast is still very large. Although the CIA, as a spy agency, has a lot of power overseas, it also has to face domestic pressure. Now so many have died. People, even the head of the Luther Group was murdered, causing a storm no less than the assassination of the previous mayoral candidate.

Kayla sighed in her heart. The skills she had learned to guide conversations were completely useless for Schiller. She seemed to never be able to gain the initiative of the topic. In time, she had never met such an opponent.

The two walked through the corridor, walked down the stairs, and came to the reception room of the mayor's mansion. Schiller looked around at the scene in the reception room and said, "You have already arrived, it seems that I am the last one. ."

at this time. There were a lot of people in the living room. Benjamin, the head of the secret service, stood on the left, Bruce and Selena on the right, and the red-haired Lex Luthor stood a little to the right in front of the room. It was a corpse, Lionel Luthor.

Laonel Luthor's condition was miserable, his face was covered in blood, there was a deep bruise on his chin, his forehead seemed to have been hit hard with a blunt object, and the place where his head touched the ground was also covered in blood, and the surrounding area of ​​his head was covered in blood. Fragments of some vases were also scattered.

Seeing Schiller in pajamas, Bruce glanced at him and turned his head back, as if he didn't want to see the professor at all. His expression didn't escape Benjamin's eyes, but it made his frown even deeper. .

"Thank you, Kayla, please go outside to maintain order and make sure that the news doesn't get out, otherwise it may cause panic." Benjamin turned to Kayla and said to Kayla. Kayla, who heard the order, seemed a little surprised, but she was stunned. After a while, I did it anyway.

After he left, there were only five people left in the room, namely Bruce, Lex, Benjamin, Schiller, and Selena. Benjamin was the first to speak, he stared into Schiller's eyes, and then said, "As far as I know, You know, before Luthor died, he saw you in this conference room."

"Officer Benjamin, your unprofessionalism really surprised me." Schiller was also rude, he walked to the front of the body, put his umbrella on the ground, looked at Benjamin and said, "It doesn't matter whether I have seen him or not, But who was the last to see him."

Benjamin turned to Bruce again. He said, "It was Mr. Bruce Wayne who found the eucalyptus. Let him speak."

Bruce was supported by Selena and looked like it took him a lot of strength to stand up straight. He rubbed his eyes hard, and said in that over-alcoholic tongue accent: "I drank a little... I only drank a little and felt a little hot in the room, so I wanted to come out and get some air..."

"I was walking... I felt like I was throwing up. A waiter wanted to come and help me. I got rid of him... I didn't want him to catch me. He should stay away from me, ahem..."

"So... so I just... I walked forward, and I walked, and I seemed to hear a little noise, I heard... there seemed to be movement in this door, so I knocked on the door, but no one responded... "

"I smelled a strange smell, like blood, don't ask me why I smelled it, I just drank a little, but I wasn't very drunk..."

"I pushed open the door and saw Lai Onel collapsed here. At that time, I thought that I might be drunk, and now I am also...hehehehehe...cough..."

After speaking, Bruce started to retching again, Selena supported his waist, patted him on the back, and gave him a good breath, Schiller looked at Benjamin and said, "Before this, the last person I saw came to Onnell. It should be you, sir, isn't it?"

"After Mrs Davies' body was found, Lyonnell has admitted everything, he has admitted that Old Pike and Mayor White's eucalyptus were made by him, and you took him."

Benjamin was silent, and Schiller raised his wrist, glanced at his watch, and then tapped the ground with the tip of his umbrella and said:

"Lao Onel is not innocent. He is not a good person, and he just killed Mayor White and Old Pike. He died here. It can only be said that he deserved it, and no one needs to pay extra for it."

"It's very late now, and this is the fourth time I've been woken up by you when I was about to fall asleep."

"So, let's skip the process of mutual suspicion, proof, accusation, and disclosure, and let's just tell the truth."

Schiller looked around and saw that the others were still silent. He put his hands on the handles of the umbrella and said, "Okay, let's start with me."

"Officer Benjamin, I don't know. When you said that he was taken to a proper place to be taken care of, you meant where to take him. All I know is that your so-called proper measures didn't work at all."

"After I came out of the bathroom and went back to my room, not long after I got a call from Laonnell, he asked me to go to the reception room..."

With Schiller's remarks, the time went back about an hour and a half.

Schiller's words that directly pointed to Lai Onel's heart just fell, Lai Onnell's face turned blue, and after a long time, he covered his chest and coughed sullenly, like an angry person~www. readwn.com~ He has completely lost the power of disguise, staring at Schiller with sullen eyes, but Schiller is unmoved.

Just when Schiller was about to speak, Benjamin waved to the door, and two burly agents walked in.

Benjamin explained to them, they stepped forward, and he was handcuffed by O'Neill. Just as Lai O'Neill was about to speak, Benjamin said: "Mr. O'Neill, it seems that you have already admitted that you have done it. Two homicide cases, it is best to cooperate with our investigation."

After Benjamin turned around, Schiller couldn't see his expression, but Lionel, who was facing him, kept staring at Schiller.

It was not until Laonel was taken out by the agents that Benjamin turned around and said to Schiller: "Professor Rodriguez, thank you for your cooperation, wonderful reasoning and detection, now, you can go back to rest."

It sounded like a compliment, but it didn't have any polite and polite tone at all, but seemed rigid and blunt, but Schiller didn't care, he just wanted to go upstairs to sleep.

And just when he returned to the bedroom and unbuttoned his tie to change his clothes, the phone in the guest room rang.

The mayor's mansion is not just the mayor's private residence. Most of the guests who come to visit the mayor or participate in certain activities will live here, so there are many rooms, and each room is also equipped with an internal service phone.

Schiller picked up the phone. Unsurprisingly, he heard Laonel's suppressed anger voice over there: "Rodriguez, I'll be waiting for you in the reception room..."

Before Schiller could answer, Lai Onel said in a cold tone: "I know what you did in the mayoral election two years ago. If you don't want to be caught by those troubles, it is best to come over……"

Schiller, who put down the phone, slowly narrowed his eyes.
