Chapter 1424 Blood Moon (Sixty-Six)

"Deputy Sheriff Ronan..."

In the sheriff's office on the third floor, which is also the top floor of the police station, Ford Hamilton asked calmly, "How do you feel about your time in the police station?"

Ronan, who was sitting opposite him, smiled and said, "Very good."

Very good.

This answer made Sheriff Ford's eyes twitch.

He doesn't like Ronan, not at all!

As for the reason for his aversion, first of all, it was Clermont, a senior detective of the Ceres Police Station, who was Ford Hamilton's old friend for many years. The two had fought side by side and formed a deep friendship.

And Clermont was demoted to an ordinary police officer because of Ronan's relationship, and decades of hard work were ruined!

Now Ronan ran to Ford Hamilton's hands for an internship, how could he possibly look at Ronan well?

In addition, Ronan became a deputy sheriff at a young age. Thinking about how he had gone through life and death and was only a sheriff until now, how could Ford Hamilton feel balanced!

What made the sheriff even more depressed was that he adopted an indifferent and disgusted attitude towards Ronan, and influenced all the police officers in the police station to isolate Ronan.

As a result, Ronan didn't care at all, and was as calm as an old official, and his mentality was not like a young man at all.

He lived a lazy life every day, and he seemed very comfortable!

Ford Hamilton could certainly let Ronan muddle through like this until the end of his internship, and then give him a big bad review.

The problem is that Ford Hamilton now knows that this young trainee deputy sheriff has a close relationship with Gustav Rhine, and was arranged to the old port area by the Lion Count.

Even if he gave an unqualified score at that time, would the other party not be able to modify the file?

The answer is obviously no!

So Ford Hamilton decided to change his strategy against Ronan.

He opened the drawer and took out a document, and threw it in front of Ronan: "Then this case is handed over to you."

Ronan took the document and read it through.

This was a murder case that happened five days ago. The victims were Levi Bauer's family. He, his wife, and two children were all killed at home.

Because the murderer's method of committing the crime was extremely sophisticated and no useful clues were left, the investigation work was deadlocked.

In fact, similar cases have occurred more than once in the Old Port District. Basically, they were listed as unsolved cases, and then the relevant files were sunk into the archives and never saw the light of day until they were forgotten by everyone.

Levi Bauer was a small workshop owner and was considered a wealthy family in the Old Port District.

At the time of the crime, all the property in his home was looted, not even a copper coin was left!

Therefore, this murder case was first defined as a burglary and murder case.

After reading the documents, Ronan said neatly, "Okay."

Ford Hamilton looked at him deeply, then rang the desk bell and asked the secretary to call a detective in.

"Detective Cash."

Ford Hamilton told the middle-aged detective: "The case of Levi Bauer's family murder is now handed over to Deputy Sheriff Ronan. You are responsible for assisting in the investigation."

Detective Cash looked at Ronan, then at the sheriff, and answered with a stiff upper lip: "Yes, sir."

The depression in his heart really couldn't be described in words.

In the past period of time, Ronan has always been one of the focus figures of the police officers in the Fourth Police Station. Detective Cash has also talked about this young trainee deputy sheriff with his colleagues.

Everyone agreed that Ronan would definitely not be able to make it in the Fourth Police Station.

It's just a matter of time.

Some people even bet that Ronan would hold on for a few days before he exploded.

Unexpectedly, he would now work with Ronan on a case, and the case was the Levi Bauer murder case!

As the first person to handle this case, Detective Cash knew very well how difficult it was.

Now with Ronan, he felt that he was becoming cannon fodder.

Of course, despite the complaints, the detective was polite to Ronan on the surface: "Sir, please tell me if I have anything to do." Ronan was not polite at all, and stood up and said, "Take me to the crime scene now." He nodded to Ford Hamilton, then stood up and left the office. Detective Cash hesitated for a moment and looked at Sheriff Ford. As a result, the latter leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. Detective Cash gritted his teeth and followed Ronan out of the room. The two left the police station and rode bicycles to the crime scene. Although this world has had cars for a long time, this advanced means of transportation is also a luxury in Ceres, and only a few nobles and businessmen own it. Most people travel by horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws and bicycles. The Fourth Police Station has issued bicycles to all detectives. Although Ronan is an intern deputy sheriff, he also owns a mount. In fact, bicycles are still very practical and convenient when traveling on crowded streets and alleys. The crime scene is located on the fifth floor of an apartment building. Since the case is still under investigation, Levi Bauer's home is still cordoned off by security tape to prevent others from entering.

There was no body in the apartment, but the dried blood at the scene was still shocking.

Ronan compared the photos and restored the scene of the crime in his mind.

The four members of Levi Bauer'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 dagger after the autopsy, and all of them were killed with one knife except Levi Bauer.

Levi Bauer was stabbed hundreds of times - the murderer obviously didn't want him to die easily!

In addition, the case happened late at night, and the residents of the same apartment did not notice anything unusual that night.

Even the apartment manager knew nothing about it.

There was no murder weapon, no traces, and no witnesses. It was undoubtedly very difficult to solve such a case.

The murderer's strength was that he didn't even leave footprints.

"We suspect it's a supernatural being."

Detective Cash said after Ronan finished reading: "It was done so neatly, it looks like an assassin's method, but we can't be 100% sure, after all, there are too few clues."

Ronan thought for a while and asked: "Have you investigated Levi Bauer?"

"Yes."

Detective Cash quickly replied: "The family came to Ceres from abroad five years ago. After Levi Bauer bought this apartment, he opened a small workshop, and the whole family relied on this workshop for a living."

"According to our investigation, Levi Bauer has no enemies in Ceres, his business is not big, and he has no business rivals."

"But Levi Bauer himself should have lived on a ship for a long time. There are many signs on his body to prove this!"

Sailor? Or pirate?

Ronan nodded: "Then let's go and see his body again."

The second update is here.
