Sinmonger Chapter 3: Visit

Qiao Dun sat in an office vacated for him by the police station, flipping through materials related to the bank robbery.

The witnesses in this case include bank staff, security guards, ordinary citizens, and the robber who survived. The testimony of more than 20 people can be matched without any flaws.

The crime scene has been cleaned up, and the bank has resumed business. However, all the bullet points on the scene and the places where the two bodies fell are photographed. The three guns are also wrapped in evidence bags and placed in the overseas Chinese in front of Tony.

But these still don't prove anything. Qiao Dun put all his hopes on the surveillance video of the scene. This is the most intuitive evidence in this case. If there is any breakthrough, it can only be on this video data.

Over and over again, Qiao Dun watched this video repeatedly, especially the crucial forty-nine seconds...

…………

March 14, ten in the morning.

Tom is sitting at home watching boring TV news. His measures of staying out of the house and not speaking have achieved certain results. The media reports about him are disappearing. It seems that people will soon find new topics to talk about, and reporters are also retreating. Both messages and uninterested knockers have decreased significantly.

Suddenly, Tom turned his face away. He stared in the direction of the door of his house across the wall of the living room, as if he could see through the wall, his eyes fixed. Tom arched his body and got up quickly, but made no sound. He slowly approached a cupboard, and in the drawer of this cupboard was a loaded pistol.

This is his five-meter rule. In this room, no matter where Tom is, within five meters, there must be a weapon. If necessary, even if he is sitting on the toilet reading a newspaper, he can get a weapon and be ready to kill in three seconds.

Dong Dong, the knock on the door was short and powerful.

Tom did not expect that the other party would knock on the door. He knew that the person at the door was not a reporter, which was almost an instinctive judgment.

However, Tom did not take up his weapon in the end, just walked behind the door and responded in a normal tone: "I'm sorry, I don't accept interviews."

"I'm not a reporter, I want to ask you some questions about the case on behalf of the police, I hope you can assist in the investigation." Qiao Dun said.

Tom opened the door: "Can I see your ID?"

"Of course." Kiuton said and showed his ID, but his ID was not the police badge of Maple Leaf County, but the HL's diamond star track badge: "Hello, I'm Gary Kiuton, very good Nice to meet you, Mr. Tom Stoll."

"Hello, um... sir." Tom showed the normal reaction of a commoner, with a little surprise and doubt on his face.

"Can I come in and talk?"

"Uh, of course, please come in, sir."

"Don't be so polite, you can call me Gary." Qiao Dun entered the room.

Tom closed the door and replied, "I'll still call you Mr. Johnston, please come and sit in the hall." Tom led the other party all the way into the room, "Please sit down, what would you like to drink?"

Qiao Dun glanced at Tom's house, and replied casually: "Ordinary tea is fine."

Tom prepared tea and said in a very polite tone: "Please forgive my initial unreasonableness. There are too many reporters these days, and some of them want to pretend to be the police to sneak in. I guess they all have hidden cameras. ."

Qiao Dun replied: "I don't mind."

Tom brought tea and sat on the chair opposite Qiaotun: "Please take your time."

"Thank you." Qiaotun stopped observing the room, and his eyes stayed on Tom's face.

"Um...I don't know what the commander has to ask? Is that case serious enough to alert HL?" Tom asked.

Qiao Dun didn't move the tea on the table. He stared at Tom's eyes, trying to catch something from it, but no matter how he looked at it, he was just an ordinary office worker, nothing special.

"In order to have an identity to be able to act cheaply, I was given the false title of a second lieutenant in HL. In fact, my position, to be precise, should be a senior staff member of a certain noble, and this time, I also obeyed that person. The meaning of adults."

When he heard "a certain nobleman", Tom's expression seemed a little surprised. He was stunned for two seconds and asked, "But you didn't say that you asked me on behalf of the police..."

Qiaotun didn't want to waste time on this kind of question at all. He interrupted the other person roughly: "Mr. Stoll, how much do you know about the Gilson family?"

Tom was confused, and it seemed that he really thought hard: "Um... I'm sorry, this is the first time I've heard of this name."

Qiao Dun added: "Oh, then, Mr. Stoll, I heard that you moved to this city seven years ago, where did you live before that? I'd like to know, please. Be specific."

Tom hesitated for a while before replying, "I was born on a fishing boat, and I fished with my father and uncles since I was a child, until a storm took everything but my life. Then I went in. Youth shelter, education, a couple of jobs after high school, traveled from Northern Europe to Maple Leaf County seven years ago to put down roots." Tom paused: "It's all on the record, you should be able to get it directly from me 's file."

At this point, Qiaodun still stared at Tom's eyes, but he still didn't see anything, there was no abnormal mood swing, and there was no sign of lying.

Of course, Qiao Dun has checked Tom's information, and he can almost memorize it. He just wants to ask the man in front of him again to see if there is any discrepancy.

"About the bank robbery on March 10th..." Qiao Dun suddenly changed the subject and took out a PVP670 from his jacket pocket: "This is the surveillance video of the scene. I want to ask you some questions."

"Huh...Mr. Johnston, you know, I didn't really want to see this, and I still feel a little scared when I think about it." Tom leaned back and looked nervous.

"I'm afraid you'll have to get over that fear, Mr. Stoll." Kiuton began to play the video.

The video he intercepted started when the robbers stormed the bank and ended when they lost resistance, two dead and one injured, a total of four minutes.

Tom's expression changed when he saw it, and he even showed a little bit of fear. After reading it, he took a deep breath and said, "That's really scary, isn't it?"

Qiao Dun swiped his finger across the touch screen, let the progress bar go back a little, and began: "According to the police investigation, the robber with the pistol is the leader of the three. This person has a violent criminal record and is a Veteran. You see, when he first entered the bank, he shot the ceiling first. Those two bullets were very valuable, and he knew what to do to keep the situation under control.

The other two were far worse, yelling because they were actually overstretched and adrenaline rushing. Excited emotions naturally need a certain way to vent, and the boy who cried, angered the robbers who were out of control at this time. "

Qiao Dun dragged the progress bar again: "Have you ever been a soldier?"

Tom shook his head: "Never."

Qiao Dun pointed to the screen: "I noticed that after the gunshots, the people in the entire bank lobby basically bent down, bowed their heads, hugged their heads, shrank their necks, and screamed out of instinct. At that moment, you knelt down on one knee, and found the nearest bunker between the direction where the gunfire came from and where you were - the pillar in the bank lobby, you half squatted down, hid behind it, and quickly began to observe the surroundings."

"What? No, Mr. Johnston, I'm not like that." Tom pointed to the screen of PVP670, "Look, I'm like everyone else, I'm hiding my head."

In fact, the back of the pillar is the blind spot of the camera. In the video, Tom did curl up and hide behind it, but after he disappeared from the camera, did he hug his head and tremble, or was half squatting and watching Liulu , which no one knows.

Anyway, Qiao Dun believes that Tom's reaction is the latter, but the other party denies it, and he has nothing to say.

After dragging the progress bar again, Qiao Dun said: "And here, Mr. Stoll, when you and the robber were fighting on the ground, I wondered why when the other two robbers approached, You suddenly stood up?"

Tom said: "Well... at that time, I only knew that I was holding him from behind, desperately grabbing the barrel of the shotgun with both hands, the gangster wanted to attack me with the back of the head and elbow, so I tried to dodge again, I got into a fight with him and stood up for no apparent reason. Maybe he was so strong that he used the strength of his legs to lift me up."

Qiao Dun said: "And after you stood up, his body was blocked between your companions and you, so that the other two robbers couldn't shoot, right?"

Tom replied; "Yes, and then he tried to brute force to turn around and throw me out, or at least make me face the muzzle of his comrade, and he turned half a circle and the shotgun went off. "

"It happened to blow off half of his accomplice's head again." Qiao Dun replied.

Tom said with emotion: "Yes, that's really scary."

Qiao Dun remained calm, then pointed to the video screen and said: "After the gunshot, the robber let go of the gun barrel, I think it was because the gun barrel was overheating." He changed the subject and asked: "But you Why didn't you let go?"

Tom said: "I only noticed it later, you see, my left hand is indeed injured." He stretched out his left hand, and there were indeed burn marks on his palm, "Perhaps I was too scared to even ignore the pain at the time. ."

Qiao Dun thought: This kind of small injury without any records, if he deliberately injured the light tube in his hand at home these few days, no one would know, it is really watertight...

Qiao Dun immediately said: "Then the robber with the pistol shot his accomplice~IndoMTL.com~ and you suddenly let go of the barrel of the gun because of the robber who was fighting with you. Down." He pointed to the screen: "You're lucky, in one second at night, you're very likely to be shot, it's just like...you dodged the bullet."

Tom said; "I didn't know about it at the time, because of the continuous shooting, I was very scared... I just wanted to subdue the robber with the pistol with the gun, but he kept shooting and I was I panicked and ended up shooting."

"It just happened to break one of his legs...is that right." Qiao Dun said.

Tom said, "Yes, that's it, Mr. Sheriff asked me about this when I was taking notes."

Qiao Dun smiled, he stood up and seemed to be leaving: "Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Stoll, I think I've asked enough, sorry for disturbing your rest."

"You're welcome, sir, you can come to me at any time if you need anything." Tom put on a diligent smile with his terrifying cold-blooded killer face.

The second lieutenant was sent all the way to the door. Tom was about to close the door when Qiao Dun turned around and said, "By the way, Mr. Stoll, have you ever heard of such a name, or rather, a code name."

"May I ask if..."

"Betting on snakes."

"No, I've never heard of that. What is that? A brand of clothing, a brand of gambling equipment?"

"Haha..." Qiao Dun smiled: "Goodbye, Mr. Stoll."

The door closed, and the two had different expressions on their faces.

Qiao Dun stopped laughing.

Tom, sneered.

He muttered to himself: "Be smart and startle the snake..."
