Chapter 807 Tragic Story

The man in the flight attendant uniform stopped struggling after being restrained by Fanny. He faced the pointing fingers of the passengers around him and grinned little by little.

He laughed louder and louder, until he was almost crazy at the end.

Abner looked at the criminal who was pretending to be crazy, but he shook his head and said calmly: "Do you think that since you have taken revenge, you will have no regrets in life?"

No matter what the reason for the murder was or whether there was a tear-jerking inside story, it is true that he tried to blame Fanny...

And, more importantly, he was probably being taken advantage of.

The man dressed as a flight attendant stopped laughing when he heard this, suddenly raised his head and looked at the detective who had exposed him, gritted his teeth and said, "What do you know?"

I don't know anything... But when you killed Mrs. Penny last night, you couldn't help but tell a lot of information. You can't blame me for "backtracking" it.

Abner glanced at him and asked: "Your enemy should be Mrs. Penny's husband, Inspector Russell... Why don't you choose to seek revenge on him? Do you just want him to feel the pain of losing a loved one?"

He asked casually while recalling the information he had obtained in the "retrospection".

Speaking of which, this is also a "tragic" story.

The dead Mrs. Penny was the wife of Mr. Russell, Senior Inspector of the Trier Police Department. She was an arrogant, vain, and bad-tempered lady. .

She had scolded Forsi just because he entered the first-class carriage because his clothes were not up to par. Fanny was also insulted by him because she stood up for Forsi, and the two sides even got into a physical conflict. This is also the main reason why the real murderer was able to "frame" Fanny...

After all, everyone in the first-class compartment of the conflict knew that Fanny was definitely a suspect in terms of motive.

The criminal's method of killing Mrs. Penny was not complicated. He just used a "sleep" potion to overturn the arrogant lady last night and inserted a dagger into her heart from her back. Then he imitated the lady's handwriting and wrote Fanny's name on the ground.

——Unlike Loen, Intis, known as the "Land of the Sun", has lights installed along the main railway lines, so trains can also run at night.

Finally, the criminal gentleman used his identity as a "flight attendant" to steal some of Fanny's used "foundation" while doing carriage cleaning services, and returned and scattered it next to the body.

So, when Mrs. Penny's servants and bodyguards woke up from their slumber in the morning, they naturally found Fanny immediately, making her the first suspect.

And the reason why the criminal gentleman did this, according to himself, was because he wanted revenge.

He was originally a skilled worker, but he was framed and imprisoned by his boss because of one of his patented inventions...

Later, he was very lucky to take advantage of a prison commotion and successfully escaped. He changed his name and fled to a small city in the east of Intis, and started a factory relying on his own skills and funds provided by a friend...

Just when he had accumulated a certain amount of wealth, got married and had a daughter, and felt that his life had entered a happy and fulfilling state, Inspector Russell appeared in the small town and recognized him as the fugitive from that year.

So he had to flee again... What followed was that his patent was misappropriated again, his factory went bankrupt, his investment friend committed suicide due to debt, and his wife and daughter were sold into a brothel by gangsters...

He hated the inspector so much that he managed to replace a flight attendant and assassinate Inspector Russell's wife so that the other party could experience the pain of losing a loved one.

The murderer, who once had two technical patents, was an extremely smart man, and he also had the unique skill of imitating other people's handwriting, so he imitated Mrs. Penny's last handwriting to frame Fanny.

However, his flaw is also here...or here is the flaw Abner deduced in reverse...that is, Mrs. Penny is actually left-handed, but the so-called suicide note was written with her right hand!

This cannot be blamed on Mr. Criminal for not being careful. After all, Mrs. Penny is usually worried about being ridiculed by others. She has always kept the fact that she is left-handed secret and deliberately hides it. It is actually difficult to find out without staring at it.

Previously, through a series of "hindsight" detailed reasoning, Abner successfully concluded that Mrs. Penny was left-handed, which naturally proved that Fanny was framed.

Taking advantage of the "shock" effect produced by this series of "reasoning", Abner used the "magic mirror" to slightly stir up the criminal's spirit, causing him to instantly "break his defense" and make an erratic move of escaping. .

In fact, that gentleman handled the evidence very cleanly, and Abner would not be able to produce conclusive evidence for a while without using extraordinary means.

At this time, after hearing Abner's question, Mr. Criminal was silent for a while, then told his past story with a ferocious face, and then shouted loudly:

“My factory went bankrupt because of him!

"My friends died because of him!

“My wife and daughter were sold into a brothel because of him!

“My happiness is shattered because of him!

"But... he is a truly fair policeman. I can't kill him just because I hate him... After all, he is just handling the case impartially...

"But I can't take away his life, but I can take away his happiness!

"I want him to suffer the same pain!

"It's a pity... My original plan was to kill his wife and then go find his son and daughter...

"But it doesn't matter...this is enough!"

When the man said this, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and his head dropped again.

Abner sneered, squatted down to his ear, and said in the voice of only the two of them:

"You did a good job...

"But the reason why you didn't kill Inspector Russell was just to see the concept he adhered to collapse, and an impartial policeman to be 'fallen' from then on, right? A 'cold-blooded one'!"

The man suddenly raised his head again and asked in disbelief: "Who are you?"

"I'm Abner Brain, a detective." Abner stood up and announced his name nonchalantly.

Firstly, he is Intis who came with his "real" appearance, and his identity is not difficult to find out; secondly, if he wants to complete Lilith's mission and find out the details of the Delien family, he will inevitably meet with Intis. He has contact with Sri Lanka's upper class society, so reputation is also a good "stepping stone"; thirdly, this is also to accumulate material for his own film and television company.

And the background story of this murder case is so dramatic that it will definitely be reported by major newspapers and magazines, which will bring fame and popularity...

In the end, this "tragic" criminal was actually a "cold-blooded person" who had just been promoted and had not completely lost his humanity. Abner intuitively felt that there might be some follow-up in him that could be explored...

At this time, the onlookers finally came to their senses from the wonderful reasoning. A big businessman who had been to Loen blurted out after hearing Abner's self-exposure:

"'Heroic Detective'! It turns out to be Backlund's 'Heroic Detective'! No wonder his reasoning is so good!"

Other people who had heard of Abner's name were also surprised when they heard this. They either "popularized" the heroic detective's deeds with others, or looked at the criminal who had been tied up by the police in a joking way, and said sarcastically: "You are actually married?" This murderer is so unlucky because of the woman who is the 'hero detective'!"

"Yeah, if it wasn't bad luck, how could an inspector who happened to know him pass by the small town?"

Some people echoed, while others lamented:

"I have also heard of Inspector Russell's reputation. He is indeed a fair and selfless person...but he handled this matter carelessly..."

"Russell's justice is only legal justice...but is there no problem with the law itself? Emperor Russell once said that there is human kindness besides legal principles..."

Some people lamented, and naturally some people objected:

"What's wrong with Inspector Russell? Even the criminal himself thought he was handling the case impartially and couldn't bear to kill him..."

The status of the people in the first-class carriage is naturally high, and they represent "heat". Therefore, when Abner saw this scene, he just accepted it. After completing the handover with the police, he took Forsi with him. He and Fanny returned to their compartment in the carriage.

Forsi was still feeling pity for the criminal and thinking about how to help his family. And Fanny's interest is not very high...

At this time, the orange cat lying in the private room suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Boy, you should have guessed what happened to Inspector Russell, right?"

"I guessed it... Haha, how can there be so many coincidences... That Mr. Criminal is probably just a pawn of the other party." Abner nodded.

"To be precise, he is just a part of the promotion ceremony for the 'devil' named Russell!"
