Chapter 6 2. Police dogs looking for guns

As night fell, Robert went into the kitchen of his country house to prepare dinner.With a gunshot.Robert fell in a pool of blood.The fatal bullet shattered his skull... A complicated case made simple by the excellent work of the police dog, if the gun could be found.The cunning Grim Reaper's cover will be broken. It was another weekend, and when night fell, Robert happily returned to his villa in the suburbs.Robert's girlfriend agreed to his marriage proposal, so today he came back early to prepare for the wedding.Robert is the sales manager of a motor company. For several years, he has been working diligently.It is rare for him to go home so early, especially on weekends, which is always busy, and he is very busy because he was promoted not long ago.

Not long ago, Robert signed a big deal with his eloquence and negotiation skills.There is no doubt that Robert has been "promoted" because of his outstanding performance.In addition to a successful career, Robert's lifelong events have also been settled.For several years, the girlfriend who had been waiting for him came back from abroad and agreed to his proposal.It's such a joy to be in good spirits on happy occasions, not to mention double happiness for Robert.Not long ago, Robert's face was always clouded with gloom, but he didn't expect that all of a sudden there would be beauties...

To celebrate, Robert specially invited his girlfriend to the villa for dinner.Although it is hard work for a big man to clean up the house and do housework, Robert has a happy smile on his face.While humming pop songs, he tidied up the messy villa in an orderly manner.Although there are part-time workers, he is willing to serve his "Queen" with his own hands. He feels that this is the only way to be sincere. When Robert prepared everything and walked into the kitchen to prepare dinner, he heard a "bang" and fell to the ground.When there was a noise in the house, Robert's girlfriend Mary just drove to the outside of the villa and was about to enter the house.She also thought to herself, this guy is really romantic, not only has a candlelight dinner, but also has a firecracker to celebrate.

"Here I am, dear," cried Mary cheerfully, as she entered the room.But there was no response for a long time, and there was no sign of Robert. "Has it been hidden so soon? I haven't seen any fireworks. It's strange..." Mary was searching for it while talking to herself.When she walked through the living room to the kitchen door, a pungent smell of blood hit her face.Realizing something was wrong, Mary rushed into the kitchen.In the kitchen, blood flowed all over the floor, and Robert fell into a pool of blood. "My God, what the hell happened?" Mary yelled, shaking her head.She was petrified by what she saw and was on the verge of collapse.Their relationship went through several ups and downs. When Mary made up her mind to go back to China to get married, just as they were about to celebrate with a toast, a fatal bullet broke Robert's head, and he fell into a pool of blood just like that...

It all happened so suddenly.Robert was shot at the villa, how could Mary bear such a blow?Why did it happen at the time of Robert's double happiness? Is it love or vendetta? God, Robert was shot. After calming down, Mary had to face reality.She quickly dialed the police station.After hearing the news, police and forensic technicians rushed to the scene.They took pictures of the crime scene and began to carefully gather evidence. The bullet went through Robert's head and shattered the cupboard door.Police collected bullet fragments to identify the murder weapon.At the same time, investigators also searched the entire house, and Robert's body was also sent to a forensic laboratory for examination.There is no doubt that Robert was shot and killed, but who fired the shot?Where did the killer shoot from?All of these are questions that must be determined.

After a forensic examination, Dr. Werner Spitz, a forensic pathologist, came to the conclusion of the identification.He said the bullet hit the deceased from the right side of the face, just next to the nose.The exit of the bullet was at the back of his head.Theoretically speaking, according to the two positions of the entrance and exit of the bullet, it is entirely possible to use a copper rod roughly as long as the barrel to judge the position where the bullet is fired.A copper rod can be inserted through the mouth of the bullet and withdrawn from the exit of the bullet.According to the extension line of the path of this copper rod, it can help the police deduce the location of the bullet.The bullet hit Robert from the window of the kitchen, and the murderer must be able to see every move of Robert in the kitchen from the location of the murderer.He must have aimed at Robert and waited for him to turn to the window before shooting.According to Dr. Werner's inference and the materials obtained from the investigation, the police have a general understanding of the murderer's location.

According to calculations, the bullet was fired from a garden about 150 meters away from Robert's kitchen.Although 150 meters sounds like a long distance, it is not a problem at all for a person who can use a gun and a long gun.There is no doubt that the killer is very good with a gun.However, the police disappointed everyone. Except for some bullet fragments collected from the crime scene, the police did not find any useful clues, and even the metal detectors did not find anything suspicious. Just when the police were at a loss, a policeman accidentally found footprints nearby.These footprints may indicate where the murderer was for observation, but the footprints disappeared in the end.It appears that dogs were the only way to search for these footprints. The police called in a specialist in dogs and dog trainer John Scales, who followed the tracks over a fence, across a backyard, across a street, and across a vacant lot. When they came to the backyard of a house, the police dog stopped.With its nose up, it kept circling the house, then stopped and started barking at the dwelling.The entire tracking route is very coherent, and this footprint should be left recently.Undoubtedly, the police dog has found a clue, and it is telling the police that the criminal they are looking for is here.

The owner of the house where the police dog stays is named Hannah, who is well-known and well-known in the neighborhood.How could someone like that be a murderer, but police believe appearances are often deceiving.As a result, Hannah quickly became the main suspect.Police searched his house in hopes of finding a firearm.If the police can find a gun in Hannah's room, they can use the found gun to test-fire the bullets, and then compare the bullet fragments at the crime scene with the test-fired bullets.By comparison, they can determine whether the gun is the gun used by the murderer.However, the police searched Hannah's residence twice in a row, but found no clues.

Just when the police were at a loss, Hannah took the initiative to provide clues to the police.He said that the matter had nothing to do with him at all, and all this was a conspiracy planned by his cousin Walter and Robert's girlfriend Mary.He had planned to wait until Walter and Mary had left, but now that the police kept making things difficult for him, he could no longer cover up for his cousin.After listening to Hanna's words, the police felt that things were getting more and more complicated.Just as Mary entered the door, the gunshots to murder Robert rang out. Is it really as Hannah said?

From Hannah's words, the police also learned that Walter, like Robert, had always loved Mary deeply.A few years ago, Mary and Robert were a compelling, enviable couple.Later, because of a misunderstanding, Mary and Walter went overseas in anger.For several years, Robert has been waiting for Mary, hoping to move her with his sincerity.However, Mary and Walter fell in love while abroad, and they owed huge sums of money because of their drug addiction.They came back this time to murder Robert and defraud him of his property. Although it is not known whether Hanna's words are true or false, his words surprised the police.In order to investigate the truth of the matter, the police sent someone to follow Mary and found that she and Walter were really going in and out of banks, hospitals and other places.So, the police immediately summoned Walter and Mary.When she arrived at the police station, Mary was a little overwhelmed.Later, Mary explained in detail the truth about her going abroad, returning home and being with Walter.

It turned out that the misunderstanding that made Mary leave Robert a few years ago was created by Mary herself.Because one day Mary suddenly found that her right arm was weird, until one day she had difficulty lifting it, she had to go to the hospital for examination.Mary was devastated by the diagnosis. She had encephalitis.Mary thought she was going to die soon, so she decided to leave Robert.Later, under the persuasion of her friend Walter, Mary decided to go abroad for treatment.Later, Mary's illness was miraculously cured.When she learned that Robert had been waiting for her, she and Walter returned home eagerly, and planned to tell Robert the truth about leaving him... Is what Mary said true?Whose conspiracy is all this, Mary and Walter's?Why the target is Robert? Although Mary took out medical records and other relevant materials to prove that what she said was true, in order to find out the truth and verify Mary's words, the police went to the hospital where Mary was diagnosed.After verifying the results from the hospital, the police suddenly realized that they might have been tricked by Hanna. Perhaps, Hannah is the real murderer. Just when the police were about to go to Hanna's house, someone called the police station and reported that Hanna and Robert had had a quarrel not long before the incident. Hanna accused Robert of stealing his clients and projects, and threatened to kill him. Robert.It turned out that Hannah and Robert were both sales managers of Electric Motor Co., Ltd.They have always regarded each other as their strongest competitors.Not long ago, the two met again for a batch of hydraulic motors. The company Hanna and Robert belonged to had a batch of hydraulic motors. In order to persuade the partner to sign the contract, they accompanied the client to Hawaii at the same time.After a week of eating, drinking and having fun, the contract is still not signed.Although Hannah and Robert ate, drank and had fun together as brothers on the surface, secretly they competed with each other, hoping to sign the contract as soon as possible.As long as someone goes out with a client alone, the other person must be suspicious, thinking that the other party has signed the contract. One night, Hannah was out with clients, and Robert was alone at the hotel.He felt that his hopes were slim. Hannah must have negotiated the contract with the client while washing his feet and massaging.When thinking this way, Robert was ready to go home.Before leaving, Robert called a friend.Seeing that he was not in a good mood, his friend asked him what was going on. Robert said dejectedly: "Didn't I tell you before? Hannah and I competed for a client at the same time. Yesterday at the bar, he told me that the client agreed to sign a contract with him. Now they are out again, maybe The son's contract has been signed, and they went to celebrate." "Don't give up until the last moment, you were not like this before." The friend said without hesitation. "I really don't have confidence this time. The products are similar, but Hanna is a well-known person. I can't compare with him..." Robert said truthfully. Before Robert finished speaking, his friend interrupted him and said, "Everyone has what they need. Do you know what your customer needs? If you know, prescribe the right medicine and you will be the winner." After thinking for a long time, Robert said: "My buddy, it's up to you. Although he is rich and powerful and has everything, he still has one thing he really wants." It turned out that the biggest headache for this client was finding a wife for his son.The client's son has a big tongue and he can't speak clearly. He has scared away countless girls in the past few years.Later, with Robert's efforts, he really found a satisfactory daughter-in-law for the client.Of course, Robert also made this deal. Afterwards, Hannah turned his back on him.He felt that he was a person of status, and he was ashamed to lose to Robert.In addition, he also thought that when he was about to sign the contract, Robert stepped in, not only robbing his client but also robbing his business case.For this matter, the two fell out completely, and Hannah even threatened to kill Robert. In addition to the evidence police have, a neighbor of Hanna's claims that he once sold Hanna a gun, but police found only an empty gun case after a search.Now that Robert was really murdered, it has to be suspected that Hannah did it, and all the evidence points to him. The first piece of evidence is that the defendant had threatened the deceased on the day of the incident, because the defendant thought that the deceased had robbed his client, so he threatened to kill the deceased.In this regard, it can be understood as the defendant's motive for committing the crime.In addition, the police dog provided a second piece of evidence, because the police dog tracked all the way to the defendant's home based on the footprints left by the murderer at the scene, and the tracking route was very coherent.The third piece of evidence is that the defendant's neighbor pointed out that he once sold the defendant a high-powered rifle. Although the three pieces of evidence held by prosecutor David Castie were somewhat flimsy, in the end he charged Hanna with murder. After indicting Hanna, Casti proposed to the defendant's lawyer that if Hanna pleaded guilty, his charges would be reduced to common homicide, but Hanna refused.The existing evidence is not enough to convict Hanna, everything depends on the testimony of Hanna's wife and cousin. Police questioned Hannah's wife, and when asked the all-important question, his wife revealed.At that time, the police asked her: "After you knew this, when you were talking about this murder with your husband, did you ever think about saying to him, 'The police can prove your innocence by using your gun to test bullets? '? And did you ever ask your husband where he kept the gun?" After hearing the police's questioning, Hannah's wife was suddenly stunned. Instead of answering immediately, she hesitated for a moment, then stared blankly at the policeman and said, "No." In fact, this is a natural question for any suspect's spouse, but Hanna's wife's performance and all the evidence show that Hanna and his wife are either lying or collaborating. Later, Hannah's cousin Walter told the truth under Mary's persuasion.Although Walter didn't want his cousin to spend the rest of his life behind bars, even if he didn't say anything now, Hannah would hardly escape prison.Under Mary's begging and persuasion, after struggling painfully, Walter made a choice.He told the police that he went out around 7 o'clock that day because he was going to have a party with friends.After about 10 minutes, he turned back again because he forgot to bring his mobile phone.When he came back, he saw his cousin staggering towards the house and burying things furtively in the garden behind the house.To see what happened, Walter followed up and said, "Cousin, what are you doing?" Seeing Walter coming out from behind suddenly, Hannah said in horror, "You... didn't you go to the party? Why did you come back? Did anyone come with you?" "No, I came back to get my phone. Do you need my help?" Seeing his brother panicking, Walter said calmly. "It's okay, just go quickly, don't let people wait for you alone." Seeing that no one followed Walter, Hannah pretended to be calm and said, "No matter what you see, don't hurt anyone today. Speaking of..." Although he felt that his cousin's behavior was a bit weird, Walter didn't take it seriously, and he walked out while agreeing.It wasn't until the police dogs searched the house that day that Walter knew that something had happened, and it was a matter of life and death.Walter felt that his cousin must have something to hide from him, so after the police left that night, he sneaked to the place where Hannah buried things that day, but he saw nothing, and there was no sign of passivity there.Until meeting Mary again, Walter was very sad to see her emaciated face because of her fiancé's sudden departure.Although he didn't know what happened between his cousin and Robert, and didn't see clearly what his cousin was burying that night, he still decided to tell what he knew. Hanna's wife's words may not be enough to prove his crime, but according to Walter's words, the police successfully dug up a gun-what his neighbors said was a rifle.The place where the gun was buried was 3 meters deep. It seems that Hanna took great pains.In the end, Hannah was sentenced to life imprisonment by the court.In the trial seat, Hannah was still talking nonsense, and was still framing Robert by saying that his cousin was trapped by love... All of this is Hannah's own request, in fact, the police gave him a chance as early as Walt said everything.At that time, if he spoke out, he would only be sentenced to 5 to 10 years in prison at most, but now he will spend the rest of his life in prison.He used to think that he had done a perfect job, that he had successfully framed him, that his cousin would not speak out... For Hanna, however, it felt like a gamble, and he lost it in the end.
