Vol 15 Chapter 24: Newton's factory

I vaguely remember that we discussed the midlife crisis at some stage of this story. Under normal circumstances, quit a job, travel a tour, leave a ... Here in a middle-aged man named · Martin, became, killing people.
Two detectives from Button have locked the middle-aged man who is still working in a fish processing factory with the sight of the criminal.
"It's him!" James pulled Wes down. "After the death of the market, I saw him shaking behind the scene of the crime! I asked him!"
Weiss glanced at James and twitched his lips. "Then you let him go."
"How do I know that he commissioned the Illusionary Man?"
Weiss waved his hand, "We can't directly find him, we can only use the case of the death of his boss to ask the employees here, a little bit to find things related to his Martin!"
"I know!" James consciously realized that Wes was reminding him not to be impulsive.
After giving up, start to act.
Briefly introduce the factory where the two detectives are now. This is a cannery, fish. In terms of modern technology, it is not a high-level factory. Labor seems to be the main force, and the automation part is limited to canned packaging. Compared to a factory on TV that promotes human achievements, the factory with dozens of automatic production lines is much worse than the local workshop like Barton.
We are now paying attention to the reason here, but it has nothing to do with the two detectives. But rest assured, we will see acquaintances.
The owner of the Big Q supermarket in Barton, Mr. Quest, is here. To be more precise, he is in the highest position of the processing plant, the director's office, impatiently waiting for the owner to come to work.
Impatient waiting naturally comes with complaints.
Just because no one is around Quest, Quest can only complain to the air: "Our contract has been signed. Yesterday we will send canned products specially flavored for the Republic to Barton! But what about the goods?" Quest threw a picture of only empty shelves on the desk of the factory director, "Look! My shelves are empty! Empty !!!"
That's right, Quest's "speech" after the drill and other directors appeared.
Believe me, this is effective, let's not talk about whether the effect is positive-Quest has already practiced several versions. Compared with the strong questioning version we see now, the first version is very counseling, "Brother, what about goods? What about good goods?"
Quest vented for a while and took a deep breath, not very satisfied. The strength was not what he wanted, and the cooperation between Quest and this cannery was only this time for the taste of the Republicans. This is just a commercial experiment that benefits both parties. Barton's largest retail supermarket now has deeper cooperation with Newton's food processing plant. Because of this deeper cooperation in the future, Quest is here.
Let me put it this way, if one party to the contract violates the rules, Quest asked a lawyer to deal with it.
Quest sorted out his impatience and started planning his own confrontation again.
James stepped into the office in one step and glanced at Quest.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
Also exported.
James frowned. "I'll check the victim's relics."
"Wait? What victim ?!"
James froze for a moment. "Mr. Quest, who are you looking for here?"
Quest pointed to a private photo on the director's desk, "He."
"He is dead." James answered quietly, and then started his work here, checking the things on the desk of the deceased. Ask for prices, daily necessities, sticky notes ... everything that can connect the death of the factory owner to his employees, middle-aged Martin.
"He's dead ?!" Quest's voice was a little sharp.
James ’eardrums were stabbed, but out of Zac ’s clear knowledge of what kind of person Qvist was, James did n’t want to be entangled with this powerful guy,
Is Barton ’s news there? I wonder if Newton has been dying recently. "
"Barton's news ??" The already irritable Quest seemed to be ignited, and actually forced him directly to James. "Barton's news is either you or Grand !! every day! How do I know Newton is dead!" ! "
James pursed his lips, and Barton ’s news ‘love’ him James, he can understand. Why is there a Grand? But this doubt is only momentary. Although James did something irresponsible to Grande. But we must admit that in Barton, we know Grande humans best, and no one but James.
The Newton funeral deliberately created by the people of West Barton, the staff of the Grand Midway Project seriously injured the reporter. Isn't this all news?
" !!!" Quest blasted in a row, "My brother was scammed in the middle by a fraudulent group (wizard family who cheated money in the name of Assamette), and my partner died! ! !" For the extremely strong guy, this is indeed a bit of a blow.
James would not sympathize. He searched for Quist while rummaging through the documents left by the deceased. "How are you here." James is not asking broad questions such as 'how are you in Newton?' This office is very specific.
James came all the way and was not hindered by anyone, it can explain a little bit-
The administrative facilities of this food processing factory are lower than its modernization level. James for his own reasons: do not want to destroy because of his own personal emotions. This investigation action, which has no reasonable law enforcement power, was destroyed. James consciously chose to be a sparse candidate when he investigated with Weiss. The place.
Unexpectedly, James's route of decision based on the principle of fewer people directly sent him to the victim's office.
So, in the general direction, James can guess that Quest's lonely person is here partly because no one picks up this Barton partner merchant. Specifically, it is Quest who explained it himself.
Quest didn't answer James directly. Instead, he started to look at James after a bunch of swearing, and the question was also very targeted, "Newton is private, why are you here, hum, have we recovered Newton." This term, Don't guess, it's sarcasm. Self-deprecating, after all, Quest is also a member of the West Side. Don't forget, he has inherited Zac's blessing, and Yuri gave him most of Liszt's previous commercial industries.
Just like Quest has an instinctive desire to protect his business behavior without answering James. James, who has a desire to protect his own police station,
No tie was answered by either side.
The air in the office became embarrassed.
After a short while, the change happened when James turned over a stack of notices of resignation ...
James frowned, and quickly glanced through a part. It seems to understand why I walked all the way, and no one saw it in the administrative office area of ​​this project. From small market surveys to big sales managers, most of the factory's exporters have passively lost their jobs!
James found a box and made these removal notices look like boxes. Although it has nothing to do with James ’s confirmation that the death case is the real murderer Martin, these things are information that can establish an independent case project for the death case at the Newton Police Station-at least, compared with other unnatural death cases This case has a motive for death.
James continued to rummage, not in a good mood. Two aspects.
One is the professional ethics of being a policeman. James was not happy that he had discovered the information here. These things can become the investigation of the Newton Police Department to advance the investigation. It is reasonable to say that it is impossible for him to get the James Detective Patton to be found here on the third day after the case. The working attitude of the Newton Police Department made James disdainful.
The second is James' own problem. The Newton Police Department refused the ‘assistance’ of the two Patton detectives. This was made clear in the case of the Newton University project where a body was thrown, and it is not repeated. Because of this, James knew he needed more information! Unless an iron case is thrown in front of the Newton Police Department, the Newton Police Department will probably not pay attention to the labor results of him and Weiss.
An objective analysis of James's two psychology. Regarding the first point, James's contempt is meaningless. He and Wes have the opportunity to focus on a case because of the exclusion of Newton Police. The Newton Police Department has more than this case. Remember the words we used before, are piled up, piled up, unsolvable, unnatural death cases.
The Newton University renovation project of the city government, Newton's police force is unable to take care of it, is it?
Regarding the second point, although we can say that James deserves it, we have to admit that James's idea is actually the same as Hughes Revelo. It is no longer a convection process, and the results of the most cases are directly presented to the Newton Police Department.
As James continued to review and search for information, Quest was contemplating.
Quest can go. Obviously the person he is looking for has already hung up. He does n’t make any sense here. It ’s enough to change the lawyer to deal with the rest. But he is still here.
When the unknown thoughts reacted to each other, James turned out something-the inspection report of the exported food, the information of the new production line technology ...
All the evidence that is showing James that a Newton plant is undergoing a major transformation phase is placed in the box just now.
"It's a worker." Quest started suddenly.
"What?" James looked up at Quest.
"If someone killed the plant manager, it was a worker on the processing line here!" Quest said clearly that he was not in his profession.
"Why." James suppressed his emotions and continued to ask questions.
"The removal notices you just found out." Quest didn't move. "Those people didn't lose their jobs, but went to Button, and most of them worked under my staff." Quest cooperated with this factory , To be revealed here? Hey, no, "After Barton's pension policy became like this, Barton was very attractive to Newtonians. Especially the kind of people who already have relatives in Barton." It is just the social manipulation of Westside people.
James frowned, and said what he said was in line with the detective profession, "Can you provide proof that these people were absent the day before yesterday."
The reason why Quest started suddenly was also clear at this time, "I can, I can call Barton now and let my personnel department arrange the information you need to prove that the people and buttons of my Quest Group The deaths here are irrelevant! "
Worthy of being a businessman and a guy with a strong desire to control. His thinking path is not that some people are dead, but that some people are dead. How can I quickly get rid of this kind of thing! This kind of person is also worthy of admiration.
"Okay." James pursed his lips and didn't want to comment on Quest's style of acting. Frankly speaking, it was James's cooperation. You know, how much work has been saved by James and Weiss! James gestured for the office phone, which means ‘hurry up’.
Quest also moved, picked up the dead man's phone and started dialing.
Waiting for the call to connect, "If someone wants to say that someone has hatred for this factory manager, it must be the workers!" Quest continues to advance his policy of getting rid of the relationship, "The factory will introduce new automatic production technology. Will be unemployed! "Quest's conditioning is clear," People who have mastered administrative majors or foreign sales skills have long found new job opportunities! And these people who have only adapted to one way of working in their lifetime, once they work Replaced by machines, they will have nothing! "
When the phone was on, Quest started talking to the people on Barton's side, but James fell into thought.
Even if James did not know who the murderer was in advance, he would agree with Quest. Now it will naturally not be opposed. James's rummaging began with purpose. He began to look for documents about the factory's future arrangements for workers-new training plans, agreement compensation documents, pension arrangements ...
The box that James first looked for couldn't fit anymore ...
After all, this episode starts with a middle-aged man. Let's return to this middle-aged man ... no, to be precise, it is the same place as this young man named Martin.
Wes is talking to a person, "So you have signed a training contract? Will you go to the central part to learn the new production line regulations in a week?"
"Yeah!" The person who talked to Weiss was a little excited, explaining his own kind. "I'm grateful to the factory director for this kind of opportunity. How could I wish him ... he ... dead ..." Sincere, Weiss can see it.
Weiss ’question continued,
Anyone but you have signed this training contract?

"Me, and xx, ..." The person being questioned was pointing out the direction of Weiss. Obviously there is no special meaning, but the direction of this person ’s pointing will be skipped every time he passes Martin, who has been locked in the afterglow of Weiss for a long time.
"Okay." Weiss nodded. "I know." The surface is calm, but in reality, Weiss's heart is burning. Weiss wants to remind the person who talked to himself 'murderer, from the time we started the conversation Just watching you. You may be his next delegate. ’
