"Ronan Deputy Chief..."
In the Sheriff's Office, which is located on the third floor and is also the top floor of the police station, Ford Hamilton asked calmly, "How do you feel about being in the police station during this time?"
Ronan, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, "It's pretty good."
Pretty good.
This answer made the corners of Chief Ford's eyes twitch.
He doesn't like Ronan, not at all!
As for the reasons for the antipathy, first of all, Senior Detective Clemond of Ceres General Police Bureau is an old friend of Ford Hamilton for many years. The two once fought side by side and formed a deep friendship.
And Clemond was demoted to an ordinary police officer because of Ronan, and decades of hard work were ruined!
Now that Ronan has gone to work for Ford Hamilton as an intern, how could he give Ronan a good look?
In addition, Ronan became Deputy Chief at a young age. Thinking about how he was only a police sergeant after going from death to life, how could Ford Hamilton balance his heart!
What made the sergeant even more depressed was that despite his indifferent and disgusting attitude toward Ronan, he influenced all the police officers in the police station to isolate Ronan.
As a result, Ronan didn't care at all. He was as calm as an old official, and his attitude was so good that he didn't look like a young man at all.
I live a life of fishing every day and still look very comfortable!
Of course Ford Hamilton could let Ronan hang out like this until his internship is over, and then give him a big bad review.
The problem is that Ford Hamilton now knows that this young intern Deputy Chief has a close relationship with Gustav. Rhine, and it was this Lion Earl who was assigned to Old Port District.
Even if he gives an unsatisfactory grade by then, won't the other party be able to modify the file?
The answer is obviously no!
So Ford Hamilton decided to change its strategy for Ronan.
He opened the drawer and took out a document and threw it in front of Ronan: "Then I'll leave this case to you."
Ronan took the file and read it over.
This was a massacre that occurred five days ago. The victims were Levi Ball's family. He, his wife, and two children were all killed at home.
Since the murderer's modus operandi was extremely sophisticated and left no useful clues, the investigation work was at a deadlock.
In fact, similar cases happened more than once in Old Port District, and they were basically listed as unsolved cases. Then the relevant files sank into the archives and never saw the light of day until they were forgotten by everyone.
Levi Bauer is a small workshop owner, and he is considered a well-off family in Old Port District.
At the time of the incident, all the belongings in his home were looted, not even a copper plate was left!
Therefore, this murder case was first defined as a home invasion robbery and murder case.
Ronan read the document and said simply, "Okay."
Ford Hamilton looked at him deeply, then rang the desk bell and told his secretary to call in a police detective.
"Detective Kash."
Ford Hamilton told the middle-aged police detective, "Levi Ball's murder case is now handed over to Ronan Deputy Chief. You are responsible for assisting in the investigation."
Detective Kash looked at Ronan, then at the police chief, and replied bravely, "Yes."
The depression in his heart really cannot be described in words.
During the past period of time, Ronan has been one of the focus figures discussed by Fourth Precinct police officers. Detective Kash also talked about this young intern Deputy Chief with his colleagues.
Everyone agreed that Ronan would definitely not be able to survive in Fourth Precinct.
It's nothing more than a matter of length of time.
Some people even bet that Ronan would last for several days before breaking out.
Unexpectedly, now he actually has to handle a case with Ronan, and the case he is handling is the murder of Levi Ball!
As the first person in charge of this case, Detective Kash knows very well how difficult it is.
Now with the addition of Ronan, he vaguely feels that he has a tendency to become cannon fodder.
Of course, complaints are complaints. On the surface, the police detective was still polite to Ronan: "Sir, please tell me something."
Ronan was not polite at all. He stood up and said, "Take me to the crime scene now."
He nodded at Ford Hamilton, then stood up and left the office.
Detective Kash hesitated for a moment and looked at Chief Ford.
As a result, the latter leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.
Detective Kash gritted his teeth and followed Ronan out of the room.
The two left the police station and then rode their bicycles to the crime scene.
Although there have been cars in this world for a long time, this advanced means of transportation is also a luxury item in Ceres, and only a few nobles and businessmen own it.
Most people rely on horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws and bicycles for daily travel.
Fourth Precinct has issued bicycles to all police detectives. Although Ronan is an intern Deputy Chief, he also owns a mount.
In fact, bicycles are very practical and convenient in crowded streets and alleys.
The murder scene is located on the fifth floor of an apartment building. Since the case is still in the investigation stage, Levi Ball's home is still cordoned off with security tape to prevent others from entering.
There was no body in the apartment room, but the dried blood stains at the scene were still shocking.
Ronan compared the photos and restored the scene in his mind when the crime occurred.
The four members of Levi Ball's family died tragically, but there were no signs of fighting at the scene. The weapon used by the murderer was determined to be a short knife after autopsy. Except for Levi Ball, they were all killed with one knife.
Levi Ball was stabbed hundreds of times - the murderer obviously didn't want him to die happily!
In addition, the case occurred late at night, and the residents of the same apartment did not notice anything strange that night.
Not even the apartment manager knew anything about it.
There is no murder weapon, no traces, and no witnesses. It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to solve such a case!
The cool thing about the murderer is that he didn't even leave any footprints.
"We suspect it's a supernatural being."
Detective Kash said after Ronan read it, "It was done so cleanly and neatly, much like an assassin's method, but I can't be 100% sure, after all, there are too few clues."
Ronan thought for a while and asked, "Have you investigated Levi Ball?"
"Investigated."
Detective Kash quickly replied, "Their family came to Ceres from abroad five years ago. After Levi Ball bought this apartment, he opened a small workshop. The whole family relied on this workshop to make a living."
"According to our investigation, Levi Ball has no enemies in Ceres. His business is not large, and he has no business rivals."
"But Levi Ball himself should have lived on a sea ship for a long time. There are many signs on his body to prove this!"
Sailor? Or a pirate?
Ronan nodded. "Then let's go see his body again."
