Chapter 965: Stopping the Tour



Lucia Underwood, who specializes in criminal crimes and has risen to the position of Deputy Commissioner of Police by repeatedly solving major cases and is known as the 'Iron Goddess', is not as calm and composed as she looks.

First of all, Ash Heath was a nationally renowned creator. He had donated almost half of his fortune to disaster relief a few days ago, which had pushed his reputation to the peak. The evidence to accuse him had already been there, but no one dared to touch him until the evidence was conclusive.

Secondly, Lucia watched the surveillance video over and over again for more than a dozen times, and was very sure that Ash was a cold-blooded murderer who was hiding deep inside. With only a sword, he could kill gangsters with guns. This unimaginable combat power was beyond the understanding of the police department. If it weren't for the frame-by-frame analysis to confirm that his movements were within the range of normal people, the police department would have almost suspected that he was a superpower.

But even so, the National Police Agency still dispatched a large number of personnel to carry out the arrest operation, and even called in a special operations task force to assist. Not only were police officers deployed in the upper and lower rooms, but there were also snipers on standby at sniper points in the surrounding high-rise buildings.

She had guessed many times about Ash's reaction. Would he be confused, deny, be angry, or ask the lawyer to change for him? Would he admit, smile, be relieved, or be full of pride in his crime?

However, Ash still exceeded the expectations of the Deputy Commissioner of Police.

She saw an indescribable...nostalgia on the suspect's face?

"As expected, the wanted list is an essential part of every trip I take." Lucia heard Ash laugh and said, "Now my journey through the stars is finally complete."

"Wow." Vichy stretched and said lazily, "Master, you are under arrest. Do you need help?"

Lucia knew the maid, Vichy, who was said to be a homeless person hired by Ash. Because Vichy's social security and medical insurance information only existed in the last few months, and she was young and beautiful, it was very likely that she was a female pet that Ash picked up on the street and brought home as a concubine. Vichy now called him master all the time, which confirmed Lucia's judgment that Ash Seath was indeed a perverted murderer who trampled on life and dignity.

However, Ash, who remained calm even when handcuffed, responded sternly to Vichy's words, "I can handle it, don't interfere!"

"Hey, Master, you're mean to me again." Weixi lay on the sofa, with her legs raised and dangling back and forth: "I'm just concerned about you, Master. I'm not hungry."

Hungry? Are they talking about food?

At this time, Ash said, "Officer Underwood, do you mean to say that I have become a suspect in the murder case?"

"To be precise, it's a serial murder case." Lucia said in a more serious tone, "Including the victims last night, fifty-six people have been killed."

Ash nodded thoughtfully, "I see. I will assist with the investigation."

"Thank you for your cooperation." Lucia wanted to grab Ash's other hand and handcuff him. "We will go to the Changqiao City Police Department for questioning. If you need a lawyer, you can--"

Pop.

Ash grabbed Lucia's wrist and cuffed her hand with his other hand.

"No need to go through so much trouble. I don't need a lawyer, and I won't go to the police station." Ash pulled the policewoman into the suite. "I also want to inquire about the case. Just help with the investigation here."

The sudden change caused the blood pressure of all the police officers to soar. A tall police officer behind Lucia reached out and grabbed Ash's shoulder: "Ash Hiss, you are suspected of assaulting a police officer now--"

Cool!

Ash grabbed the tall policeman's hand and twisted it casually, and the tall policeman turned around and fell heavily to the ground like a dead fish. Lucia wanted to resist, but her wrist was pinched by Ash's fingers, and she couldn't use any strength at all. She could only follow him and be pulled over!

"Deputy Director!"

"Ash Heath, what do you want to do!?"

"Deputy Director Underwood is being held hostage!"

"Can you tell them to be quiet?" Ash pulled Lucia to sit down and said calmly, "I just want to understand the situation from you. I will help you as much as possible. Let's sit here and talk. The door can be open, but I don't want your people to disturb my friends."

Lucia thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "You guys wait outside the door first and report the situation here."

"Iguerra, Xavi."

Ash looked at the two people at the door and said, "I'll take care of it. It's just a small matter. You don't have to be so nervous."

The Trickster and the Necromancer looked at each other, and then the black curly haired one went back to the room: "I'll go get my family ready."

Igula leaned against the door frame and lit a cigarette that Ash had never seen before.

Ash didn't expect them to be as quiet as Vichy, so he looked at Lucia and said, "Officer Underwood, please briefly describe the case."

Lucia glanced at him and told him the case file that she had read by heart: "The first murder case was in Fengduo City, which was also your first stop after leaving Jiashi City. The crime scene was in the old town next to the Municipal River. The surveillance camera captured a man in a cloak killing seven armed men with a long sword and kicking all their bodies into the river."

"The second murder was..."

After listening for a while, Ash summarized directly: "In short, murders have occurred in every city I have been to. The victims are all local evil forces, and the perpetrators are all mysterious people wearing cloaks whose identities cannot be seen clearly?"

"Not only that." Lucia said, "but the time of the crime coincides perfectly with your stay."

"Where's the evidence?" Fili, who was listening nearby, said immediately, "Since we can't see the identity clearly, how can we be sure it's Ash? I've been traveling with him to these cities, so why not me?"

"Although the victim's body has not been found yet, blood and hair left over from the fierce battle were found at the scene." Lucia said, "Based on the DNA left in your dental records, Mr. Heath, it can be confirmed that you have been to the crime scene."

"Speaking of which, according to the schedule, Ash, you should go get your teeth cleaned in three days." Rose said while pressing her cell phone.

"More importantly, Mr. Heath, you bravely subdued a group of mercenaries who were trying to launch a terrorist attack in Linguang City, and the weapon you used happened to be a sword. According to the surveillance in the subway, you showed a strong individual combat capability that was enough to dodge bullets, and the cloaked man was able to escape unscathed from the storm of bullets."

"Except for you, the police department has never seen any other cold weapon martial artist who can dodge bullets." Lucia looked at her wrist, "I have never seen a method of subduing someone just by pinching the wrist."

"It's just a very simple martial arts technique." Ash said, "Based on the clues you got, it's natural for you to suspect me. Even I think it was me who did it."

"Wait!" Fili suddenly discovered a problem: "The victims are all evil forces with firearms? Then no matter whether the cloaked man is Ash or not, this should be considered a self-defense counterattack. After all, the cloaked man only has a sword, but the other party has firearms!"

Lucia glanced at them and said carefully, "From a personal perspective, I think the victims deserved to die, but..."

"Every time the cloaked man commits a crime, he chooses a place with surveillance cameras," she said. "And it can be seen that the cloaked man deliberately lures the victims to the place with surveillance cameras, and then annihilates them all and throws them into the river like garbage."

provocative!

Ash and the others finally understood what the police department was thinking - if it happened once or twice, the police department would probably treat it as a fight among gangsters; if you committed the crime in a place that was not under surveillance, the police department would not react so quickly.

But you insisted on killing people indiscriminately under surveillance, and you did it every time, and you also committed crimes while on the run, and you were just short of writing the words "Come and catch me, you can't catch me" on your cloak. The police department was able to wait until now to arrest people, which was already a favor to Ash.

"Even so, the cloaked man is facing an armed assailant, and the strength of the two sides is completely unequal!" Fili argued: "It doesn't matter whether there is surveillance or not, whether it is intentional or not, and it doesn't matter how many times. As long as there is a group of people pointing guns at me and I only have a sword, then any counterattack I make should be encouraged by the law!"

Lucia thought for a moment and said, "I shouldn't have said these words... But with your reputation and financial resources, Mr. Heath, and the victim's scandal, you will almost certainly be acquitted in court, and at most you will be sentenced to a few years of voluntary labor."

"However, Mr. Heath, the violent tendencies and killing abilities you have demonstrated are equivalent to possessing high-powered lethal weapons. The government will restrict your outings and send police officers to visit you regularly. Activities like yours traveling around the stars must also be stopped. You will not be allowed to continue...fishing and hunting."
