Chapter 290 There is only one truth
"No matter who the murderer is, it can't be the sheriff!" The deputy next to the sheriff held his face and said unhappily.
It was then that Zhang Yang noticed the adjutant. Because he was wearing the same uniform as the police officer next to him, Zhang Yang didn't notice him at first.
"If you ask me, since we have ruled out the hotel owner and the disabled old man, the real murderer should be among the remaining eight people!" The adjutant continued to express his thoughts:
"Is it possible that the murderer was able to continue causing chaos in the post station without being caught because he had an accomplice who was secretly supporting him?"
The adjutant's words made sense, and everyone nodded.
"Ahem, it seems that my judgment was wrong. The murderer really has an accomplice." Sheriff Lev cleared his throat to resolve the embarrassment.
Then his sharp eyes looked viciously at Zhang Yang and the other eight people, and kept scanning them.
"We are old customers of this inn. You can check the check-in records. We come here every month to sell cigarettes. We check in at this time every time."
The middle-aged woman living in Room 101 was the first to raise her hand to defend herself and her husband.
"Well, we are very familiar with many mercenary groups in the post station. We already have a stable source of income, so why do we need to do something so dangerous?" The middle-aged man spread out his palms:
"Besides, you only found cigarettes in our room. Apart from that, you didn't find any weapons, right?"
"Yeah." Sheriff Lev nodded after hearing this. The suspicion of the middle-aged couple could be ruled out.
His gaze then swept towards Zhang Yang in 301 and the south wall.
The two men are one big and one small, one tall and one short.
A typical duo!
Zhang Yang and Nanqiangren didn't say much and directly took out their T7 thermal imagers.
"We are Team T, and we are here to make money. Since we already have such valuable things on us, it seems there is no need to take the risk, right?" Zhang Yang spoke first, rolling his eyes.
"Even if we were the murderer, we would hide T first before committing the crime, right?"
Nanqiang shook the thermal imaging device in his hand. A police officer came up to check it and nodded to Sheriff Lev.
"Yes, these two don't seem to be lying." What Zhang Yang and Nanqiang said made sense, and the sheriff continued to move his gaze.
The young couple in 302 were targeted again and looked at each other.
"We are really a couple from Red City. Do we need to prove it?" The woman was frightened by the sheriff's gaze and her calves were shaking violently.
"That's right, we...how do you want us to prove it?" The man seemed a little at a loss, but it was precisely their youthful appearance that made the police officers directly rule out their suspicion.
"Sheriff Lev, I remember that residents of Red City have exclusive identification cards with their own photos on them." The adjutant stood up and made a key suggestion.
"Well, please take out Hongcheng's identification cards." Sheriff Lev raised his head and spoke righteously.
"Here." The man felt his pocket and quickly handed over two pieces of paper-sized objects to the police officer for inspection.
The police officer still nodded without saying a word.
With their identification documents, we can basically rule out the two of them as suspects.
In addition, these two young men looked inexperienced and looked like ordinary people, unless the murderer was an actor.
"It seems that the murderer is among these last two people!" Sheriff Lev frowned and looked at the two brothers living in 303.
One of them was holding an assault dagger, and the other was holding dual guns. It was obvious that they were not "good guys".
"Tell me, who among you is the murderer and who is the accomplice!" Sheriff Lev took out the pistol from his waist, and the police officers were also on high alert.
Zhang Yang and Nanqiang stood aside, ready to escape at any time.
Once these two sides open fire, they will inevitably be affected.
"No, we don't need to interrogate us?" The man with the assault dagger was confused. Why did he draw his gun as soon as he got to them?
What about interrogation?
You guys ask!
"Uh, I think there might be some misunderstanding. We don't know the murderer." Another man holding two guns also raised his hands.
He wanted to show a gesture of surrender, but the way he raised his hands holding guns almost made the nervous police officers open fire.
"Put down the gun! Otherwise I can shoot you right now!" Sheriff Lev was also frightened. He wiped the sweat off his face and thought to himself that this job was really difficult.
"We will. But you can't handle the case recklessly." The man put the shotgun and SKS on the ground, and then took out the grenade at his waist.
"If you mess around, we'll all die together!"
"Don't worry, we would have shot you if you did anything wrong." The adjutant calmed down the two brothers and soothed their uneasy hearts.
As the two brothers put away their weapons, the police officers also put down their guns.
The atmosphere finally improved.
"We come to the Doz River to hunt. You have all seen the equipment we have. We are just rough guys and will not break the rules here." The leading man spoke first and introduced their identities.
"Well, we never knew any murderer, and we don't like killing people," another person added.
"This..." Lev suddenly felt a little confused. If these two brothers were not the murderers, then where did the real murderer go?
The deputy and the sheriff looked at each other, both of them had complicated expressions.
"We still need to rest tonight, please release them quickly." Zhang Yang spoke at this time, with a hint of threat in his words.
"That's right. We still have to set off at 12 o'clock. You should know that Team T is not a pushover." Nanqiang also looked hot-tempered and gave a brief explanation with a dark face.
Of course, they are pretending, but they must try to find some time to rest at this time.
"This……"
"Did you see it wrong? The murderer really ran into [Waibibab]!" Sheriff Lev was at a loss for words and called the police officer who first provided the information.
[Waibibabu] was completely blocked, and now after checking the entire inn, there are only these ten people, but none of them looks like the murderer.
This made Lev doubt the authenticity of the information provided by the police.
"I... should be right."
This situation also made the police officer a little uneasy. He was full of doubts and didn't understand why this happened.
"What do you mean by 'should'? Did you see it wrong?" Sheriff Lev got angry when he heard it.
According to the current investigation results, if the murderer really entered the inn, how could he not be found?
"I... I don't know." The police officer seemed to feel a little aggrieved. He clearly saw the murderer running into the inn, but why didn't he see him?
Could it be that I really saw it wrong?
"Hurry up, please? We have something to do tomorrow too!" Seeing that Zhang Yang and the other man had successfully shown off, the hunter brothers also spoke.
One of them was checking his assault dagger, while the other was weighing a grenade in his hand.
Most of the people who come to the inn are not good people, and the sheriff has to bear a lot of psychological pressure to investigate the inn.
