Who
Klein was thinking about the mysterious suicide incident and potential unknown dangers of the original owner. Upon hearing a sudden knock on the door, he instinctively opened the drawer, took out the revolver, and spoke with caution to inquire.
The door was quiet for two seconds, and a slightly shrill voice called out in the Ahua accent:
Me, Monbatten, Beech Monbatten
The voice paused for a moment and then added:
Police
As the name entered the ears of Becky Mountbatten, Klein immediately thought of its corresponding owner.
That's one of the police officers in charge of the neighborhood where the apartment is located. He's a rough, savage, and hands-on man, but perhaps only such a person can shock those alcoholics, thieves, part-time thieves, and thugs and hooligans.
And his unique voice is one of his labels.
Okay, I'll be right there! "Klein responded loudly.
He had planned to throw the revolver back into the drawer, but thought that the police outside might come for some unknown reason, and there might be a search or other action. So he cautiously ran to the stove where the remaining fire had already extinguished and put the revolver in.
Next, he picked up the small basket containing coal, shook a few pieces into the furnace, covered the g*n, and finally placed the kettle on top to cover everything.
After finishing all this, he sorted his clothes and quickly approached the door, opening it while muttering:
Sorry, I just took a nap
Outside the door stood four police officers in black plaid uniforms, badges and soft hats, and Becky Mountbatten, who had brown and yellow whiskers, coughed and said to Klein:
These three police officers have something to ask you
Officer? Klein reflexively looked at the shoulder badges of the other three and found that two had three silver hexagonal stars, and one had two, both of which looked more advanced than the Beach Monbatton with only three V-shaped labels.
As a history student, Klein doesn't have much research on the rank of police shoulder badges, only knowing that Beech Mountbatten often flaunts himself as a senior sheriff.
So, which three are at the inspector level? Influenced by the conversations of classmates such as Big Brother Benson and Welch, Klein still knows a little common sense. He moved away from his body and pointed inside the room, saying:
Please come in.
The leader among the three police officers is a middle-aged man with sharp eyes that seem to penetrate the soul and make people unable to resist fear. He has obvious wrinkles around the corners of his eyes, and the edge of his hat shows light brown hair. As he looks at the room, he asks in a deep voice:
Do you know Welch McGovern
What's wrong with him? "Klein's heart trembled and asked back.
I'm asking you, "said the dignified middle-aged police officer with a stern gaze.
The police officer next to him, also wearing a three star shoulder badge, looked at Klein and said with a gentle smile:
Don't be nervous, we are just inquiring about routine
This police officer is around thirty years old, with a straight nose and gray eyes that give an indescribable depth, like a lake in an ancient forest that lacks attention.
Klein took a deep breath and organized his words, saying:
If you refer to a graduate of Hoy University, Welch McGovern from Compton, then I definitely know each other. We are classmates and follow the same mentor, Senior Associate Professor Quentin Cohen
In the Kingdom of Roon, "professor" is not only a professional title, but also a position, just like the integration of professors and department heads on Earth. In other words, a university can only have one professor in a department, and associate professors can only wait for their immediate superiors to retire or push them out based on their strength.
In view of the need to retain talents, after years of exploration, the Higher Education Council of the Kingdom has added senior associate professors to the three-level system of lecturers, associate professors, and professors, offering high academic level or seniority to ladies and gentlemen who are unable to become professors.
Speaking of this, Klein glanced into the eyes of the middle-aged police officer and considered for a second, saying:
To be honest, our relationship is quite good. During this time, he and Naya have often met to interpret and discuss the 'Quaternary' literature he has obtained, a notebook, police officer, what happened to him
The middle-aged police officer did not answer, but turned his head to look at his gray eyed companion.
The gray eyed police officer wearing a badge and a soft hat, with ordinary features, replied Wen Wen:
I'm sorry, Mr. Welch has passed away
How could it be? "Despite some premonitions, Klein couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Welch also died like the original owner of his body?
This is a bit scary!
What about Naya Klein nervously demanded.
Ms. Naya has also passed away, "said the Grey Eyed Officer calmly." They both died in Mr. Welch's residence
Killed? "Klein vaguely guessed.
Maybe it was suicide
Officer Grey Eyed shook his head:
No, according to the traces on the scene, they committed suicide. Mr. Welch hit the wall with his head many times, causing it to be covered in blood. Ms. Naya drowned herself in a water basin, um, the kind used for washing her face
It's impossible, "Klein said, his hair bristling as if he could imagine the eerie scene.
The girl knelt on the chair and buried her face in the washbasin filled with water. Her brown hair fell down smoothly and swayed in the wind, but she remained motionless; Welch fell to the ground, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, his forehead completely shattered, covered in blood stains, and the marks of impact on the wall were dripping with blood one after another
Officer Grey Eyed moved the corner of his mouth and said:
We also think so, but the autopsy results and on-site conditions exclude factors such as medication and external forces. They, I mean Mr. Welch and Ms. Naya, have no signs of resistance
Before Klein could speak again, he walked into the room and pretended to ask casually:
When was the last time you saw Mr. Welch or Ms. Naya
He gestured to his companion with his eyes as he spoke.
That was a young police officer, looking about the same size as Klein, with black sideburns and green pupils, good appearance, and a romantic temperament of a poet.
Upon hearing the question, Klein's thoughts turned sharply and he pondered and replied:
It should be the 2nd of the month, and we jointly interpreted the content of a new note. After that, I went back home to prepare for the interview on the 30th, um, for the history department at the University of Tyngen
Tingen City is known as the City of Universities, with two universities, Tingen and Hoy, as well as a technical school, a bar school, and a business school, second only to the capital city of Beckland.
As soon as he finished speaking, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the young police officer walking to his desk and picking up the "notes" that looked more like a diary.
Damn it! Forgot to hide it! Klein quickly shouted, "You
The young police officer smiled back at him, but did not stop flipping through his notes, while the gray eyed police officer explained:
This is a necessary program
At this moment, Becky Mountbatten and the dignified middle-aged police officer were just watching from the side, without any interruption or assistance in the search.
What about your search warrant? Klein had planned to question this question, but upon careful consideration, it seems that the judicial system of the Kingdom of Roon has not yet evolved such a thing as a search warrant. At least he doesn't know if it exists, after all, even the police force has only been established for fifteen or sixteen years.
Klein couldn't stop him and watched as the young police officer quickly flipped through his "own notes", while the gray eyed police officer didn't ask any more questions.
The young police officer flipped to the end and suddenly spoke, "Also, what does this sentence mean? 'Everyone will die, including me'"
Isn't it common sense that everyone dies except for gods? Klein was originally planning to make a cunning argument, but suddenly realized that he had originally planned to "connect" with the police in case of possible danger, but was struggling with no reason or excuse.
In less than a second, he made a decision, covering his forehead with his hand and answering in pain:
I don't know, I really don't know. After waking up this morning, I felt like something was wrong, as if I had forgotten something, especially the parts that happened in the past few days, and I didn't even know why I had to write such a sentence
Sometimes, being honest is the best way to solve a problem. Of course, being honest requires skill. What can be said and what cannot be said is on one hand, and what should be said first and then is on the other hand.
As a keyboard expert, Klein has also studied a bit of script.
Absurd! Do you think we're fools? "Becky Mountbatten angrily interrupted, unable to resist.
This lie is too clumsy, it is simply insulting the intelligence of oneself and others!
It's better for you to pretend to be mentally ill than to pretend to have amnesia!
Really, "Klein calmly responded to the gaze of Montbarton and the middle-aged police officer.
Perhaps it's really possible, "said the Grey Eyed Officer slowly.
What? Is that enough to believe? Klein himself was surprised.
Officer Grey Eyed smiled at him and said:
An expert will come in a few days, believe me, she should be able to help you recall lost memories
Experts? Help recall? In the field of psychology? Klein furrowed his brow.
Hey, what if this brings out the memories of my Earth? He suddenly felt a toothache.
The young police officer put down his notes and searched the desk and room. Fortunately, he focused on books and did not take a look at the kettle.
Alright, Mr. Klein, thank you for your cooperation. In the past few days, it's best not to leave Tingen. If necessary, please notify Officer Mountbatten, otherwise you will become a fugitive, "Officer Grey Eyed finally warned.
Is this the end? Is it over today? No more questions, continue investigating? Or will I be taken back to the police station for punishment? Klein felt a moment of confusion.
However, he also wanted to solve the strange incident brought about by Welch, so he nodded and said:
No problem
The police officers withdrew from the room one by one, and the young man walking at the end suddenly patted Klein's shoulder:
That's great, I'm very lucky
What? "Klein looked confused.
The green eyed police officer with a poetic temperament smiled slightly and said:
Generally speaking, it is normal for all parties involved to die in such an event
We are delighted and fortunate to see you still alive
After speaking, he walked out of the room and politely closed the door behind him.
Is it normal for everyone to die? I'm glad I'm still alive? I'm lucky I'm still alive?
On this June afternoon, Klein was chilly all over
