Chapter 292 The Great Detective and the Fake Detective

Lanni finally waited for Ellie in the police station. He had no choice but to buy sufficient intelligence from a black policeman in the police station.

What he didn't know was that most of the information the black policeman had was fake. These seemingly true and false information would shift his target to Ellie, thereby reducing the risk of Xing Ze being exposed.

However, due to time constraints, these forged information and deliberately leaked information have loopholes and cannot be carefully scrutinized. However, Xing Ze is not worried about this. These investigators currently have very limited information about the case, so they basically accept everyone who comes.

To be honest, this is actually the basic means of solving the case. In the 1990s, there were no high-performance computers and not many surveillance cameras on the streets. If you want to solve the case, you can only rely on experience, messy clues and police officers who run their legs off.

Among them, clues are the most critical. The police officers who take notes from door to door will provide a lot of clues, most of which are useless, and there will even be a lot of misleading, so the experience of detectives is particularly important at this time.

Lanny understood these principles, so when he clearly noticed that there was something wrong with the information, he was not too annoyed. After all, as a detective, finding anomalies from true and false clues is his daily routine.

He recognized the special agent named Nix at a glance. Even though she was dressed quite simply, she still couldn't hide her beautiful and unique beauty.

Lanny always thought that in the world of Harry Potter, Hermione's appearance was already quite good, but compared with this lady, she was still slightly inferior.

He quickly followed her, trying to find a suitable time to talk to the lady. But the other party stopped before he took any action.

"Is it unwise to follow a lone lady near the police station, sir?"

Lanny was stunned. There was no one around. It was obvious that the lady was talking to him. His tracking level was not high, but it was impossible to be exposed so quickly.

It seems that this special agent from Scotland Yard is still quite capable. After thinking for a few seconds, Lanny said, "Don't worry, ma'am, I'm not a pervert. To be precise, I'm a detective."

"Detective?" Ellie turned around with a faint smile on her face.

"Yes, detective, if it's convenient for you. Miss Nix, I want to talk to you."

"I'm afraid it's difficult for me to agree to your request. This... Mr. Nobody, let alone how you know my name, if you want to talk to me, you should invite me openly, not after being discovered by stalking."

"Stalking? Oh, ma'am, you must have misunderstood. I just didn't have time to invite you."

Ellie crossed her arms and replied coldly, "If that's the case, sir, I think you can make an appointment at the police station. If I haven't forgotten, I will call you."

Lanni was obviously not scared off, he continued to insist, "It's just a cup of coffee time, ma'am. How about letting me buy you a cup of coffee? Oh, you can call me Lanny, this is my ID."

After that, Lanny handed over his business card along with the driver's license in this world.

Ellie took it, looked at it symbolically, and then returned it to the other party, "Okay, but it's only a cup of coffee time, Mr. Detective."

"Of course." Lanny replied with a smile.

A coffee shop near the police station.

The two sat down at a window seat, and Lanny immediately got to the point and asked: "Forgive me for my limited time, Miss Nix. I'm looking for you for the case of the four bodies."

"Before we talk about this topic, I want to ask you, how do you know me? The information of that case has not been fully disclosed to the outside media. Except for some people in the police station, no one else knows my identity information."

Lanni's face was not embarrassed at all. He replied calmly: "Dear lady, have you forgotten what I do?"

"This is not something to boast about, Mr. Lanny. I can catch you by stealing other people's information." Ellie narrowed her eyes and said.

"I have no choice. You have done a good job of keeping secrets, and I don't have time to stay here for a long time. So I can only use some dishonorable methods. Since you haven't notified the police to arrest me, it means that we still have room for cooperation."

"If you want to know the information of the case, it's a pity that I can't disclose it."

"No, no, I'm not here for this. If I talk about this, a cup of coffee is definitely not enough. I just want to ask, have you found everyone in Frank's team? Of course, except Frank."

"Why should I tell you this?"

"I may be able to help you."

"Help? A detective who knows nothing?" Ellie took the coffee handed by the waiter, "I doubt it."

"I understand your doubt, ma'am. Do you know the 'Red Hand' case?"

"Of course."

"Frank and I solved the case together."

"You?" Ellie's face was uncertain, "but I didn't see your name in the report, not even in the newspaper."

"I'm not a person who pursues reputation."

"That's really noble. So how can I prove your words?"

Lanni took out a stack of information from his back, "All the information on the 'Red Hand' case is in it, including the investigation process of Frank and I, the profile of the suspect, recordings, transcripts, etc.

"Of course, if you don't have so much time, Miss Nix, you can ask the detective who took over the case at that time. Franklin and Yellant from the Criminal Investigation Department should still remember me."

Ellie reached out and took the information, "I have to remind you again, sir, it is also a crime to keep the investigation information privately."

"It's just for research." Lanny smiled, "Besides, haven't I handed it over now?"

"You are so painstaking, just to find out such a thing?"

"If you can gain your trust, it would be great. Quentin Coldwater, he is a member of Frank's team, but I didn't see this name in the report."

Ellie replied calmly: "Of course you can't see it, in order to prevent the progress of the investigation from being leaked, we made two different documents. "

Lanni quickly understood. The investigation of a homicide case is often a game with the murderer. Some unscrupulous media or corrupt police often make the latest progress of the investigation public for their own interests, giving the murderer more time to react and respond.

This happens frequently, especially when it comes to serial murders. The police finally lock on to the target, and when they are about to start arresting, various media begin to compete for reports, which eventually makes the arrest more difficult and even gives the suspect time to destroy evidence.

So many times, the police will throw smoke bombs to the media, and even use the media to mislead the murderer. If you think about it this way, it is not surprising that there are two investigation reports.

While Lanny was still thinking, Ellie said: "Cooperation requires sincerity. If you tell me who provided you with this information, I will consider this cooperation. "
