Police Department.
Nil was there in person, observing the police review of the matter.
When Malcolm arrived with Lyra, the first round of questioning had already been conducted inside.
When he saw the two coming, Nil immediately came forward to offer his condolences.
"How did Ms. Lloyd get here so quickly and in person? Have the injuries been treated yet?"
Lyra's lips were slightly wan. She was about to answer, but Malcolm took the lead to answer for her, "It has been dealt with. The doctor said the injuries are not particularly serious. She is thinking about the early resolution of the attack, so we came over."
Nil posed as an invitation for the two to go sit in a special lounge.
Just sitting down, Malcolm continued to ask, "How's the investigation going?"
Nil shook his head seriously, "They are elite killers bought from the black market anonymously. This group of people are just listening to orders. For the purchase behind the scenes, it is not clear. Although we haven't found out who shot her, the bullets taken from Ms. Lloyd's arm has been sent to identify for the model. I believe it will not take long and the results can come out. "
Atria's control of gun trafficking was also relatively strict, and those who could hold a gun had passed a professional test and were equipped with a professional gun permit.
As long as the model of the small sniper rifle was identified and screened among all the countrymen who could hold a sniper rifle, there was not much problem.
Lyra quietly listened and inadvertently sneered, "Another assassin bought from the black market. So familiar."
Nil, sensing her tone, asked with slight surprise, "Is it possible that you have experienced a similar attack before?"
Lyra did not speak.
Malcolm explained on behalf of her, "Yes, in Frayton of Crana, Rara's illegitimate sister bought forty elite killers in the black market to kill her in Crane Bay Bridge with a machete. Fortunately Crana's control of firearms is the strictest in the world, so no one can shoot from the shadow. "
Nil was surprised to hear that.
"A mere illegitimate daughter of a powerful family can actually have such great ability?"
Malcolm was silent, turned his head to look at Lyra's expression, and saw her that she turned cold for a few moments.
It was never the illegitimate daughter of Ethel that hurt her the most.
Rather, it was her father Reginald, who was the supporter behind Ethel, and Collin, who was aware of Ethel's persecution of her, but chose to help hide it.
Malcolm looked at her with distress, sighed silently, reached out and took her clenched fist, desperately trying to stuff her with security.
Nil noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Guessing that there was quite a story here, he had the good sense not to ask any more questions but asked someone to prepare a pot of good fruit tea.
Lyra was gradually easing out of the emotions of the old days.
Thinking of Anne who seemed strange, she asked Nil, "What do you know about Earl Hoare from Owhil, and that girlfriend of his?"
Nil thought deeply about it.
"Paul has too many girlfriends. Before Anne Windsor, his girlfriend can set up a band. I guess some exes, even he can't name himself. He's forty-something years old. An non-maritalist, hanging around all day."
"But he can afford to fool around. With Owhil noble identity, he wants nothing, not to mention his business acumen is good. Plus his father passed away, all the huge inheritance fell on his head. He is taking money in every business field. If not to talk about his private life, just look at him as a business partner to say. He is a good choice."
Lyra pondered the information in those words and continued, "So how long ago did he and Anne announce their relationship?"
"I'm not sure about this, but I heard about it before. He was on a business trip to Crana when he met his current girlfriend. I heard that Anne was studying in Crana at the time, and after the two established a relationship, they traveled to various countries from time to time."
Nil took a sip of hot fruit tea, "But with what I know these days, Paul is really attached to this girlfriend, more than the love and care of any previous girlfriend. I'm afraid he's real."
Lyra listened to his words and silently calculated the general timeline.
Could it be such a coincidence?
It just so happened that they met in the territory of Crana and then he brought her out of the country.
For Paul's status of fame and fortune, if Anne really had a problem, it was okay to just give her a new identity.
"Why are you so concerned about Paul's personal life? Is there something suspicious related to this assault case?"
