The daily life of American drama detective

"Impossible! I saw him with my own eyes..."

Mia looked puzzled and confused.

She believed Chuck's motives, but couldn't believe what she saw.

That's what she saw with her own eyes!
"continue."

Chuck looked at Mia who was parked there.

Mia hesitated.

"You know that if my conjecture is correct, then compared to the risk of going to jail, your greater danger is that your life will be seriously challenged?"

Chuck reminded: "And there is a high probability that he is not dead now, so the risk of you going to jail is very small."

"he died!"

Mia couldn't bear it anymore, and said in horror: "I saw him roll his eyes, and we put him in the box and pushed him into the swimming pool..."

"But he's gone, isn't he?"

Chuck said: "Otherwise you don't have to look for his body in a panic!"

"God must be punishing me."

Mia stretched out her hand to hold the cross on her chest, her pale face showed an expression of horror and repentance.

Chuck glanced at her cross, walked back to his seat, looked at the computer, and stopped pressing.

Mia repented for a while, and seeing that Chuck didn't respond, she immediately looked over pitifully.

However, for a long time.

Chuck just looked at the computer, ignoring her expression.

"It wasn't my idea."

Mia is not stupid, she knew what Chuck meant, struggled for a long time, and spoke up: "Nicole repeatedly tricked me into doing this.

Of course I couldn't resist the urge.

Because I just can't take it anymore.

I was originally a devout nun, and I returned to inherit the school and met Gail.

Everything was fine at first.

So I didn't even think about signing a prenuptial agreement, and gave him all the management rights of the school.

He is my husband!

Also very capable!

At least that's what I thought then.

But not long after we got married, I realized something was wrong. He likes to drink, and he has a bad temper when he drinks too much.

I persuaded him a few times, but his attitude was up and down.

Then something happened that made me feel very distressed. He cheated, and I didn't even cover it up. After I found out, I asked him to question him, but all I got was threats and intimidation.

You don't know how terrible he is after drinking.

Especially the suffocating feeling of being pinched by his neck. "

Speaking of this, Mia touched her neck subconsciously, with a look of horror on her face: "God, the fear of dying surpasses everything else.

I dare not take care of him anymore.

He is also getting more and more aggressive, no longer the gentleness he used to be, controlling everything about me, even more disciplined than when I was a nun.

People before and after, must all obey his orders, and there must be no disobedience!
Then Nicole came along as the new teacher.

Not surprisingly, he had an affair with her.

He doesn't shy away from me.

She also knows that I know.

We should have ignored each other.

But when we saw the scars on her body, we gradually came closer to communicating.

When this kind of life becomes more and more difficult, especially when Gail transforms this school, it becomes more and more difficult for me to agree with him, and his control over me becomes more and more suffocating, making me unable to breathe.

And then Nicole pops up and says maybe we should kill him so we can all be free.

I was taken aback at first, but the more I listened to her words, the more my heart moved. Now that I think about it, it's like being tempted by the devil.

She said he had been drinking heavily, and that it was well known that he could be programmed to slip and fall into a swimming pool drunk so that no one would suspect it.

So, after another heart attack, he watched me faint on the ground without any movement, and after I was saved by Nicole, I finally made up my mind to follow Nicole's method.

The next day I packed my bags and drove out of school, went to the hotel Nicole found for me, and arranged everything.

Gail really won't let me go.

He sneaked up to me by car and threatened to let me go if I gave up school.

But the school is my family's property and everything I have now, and I can't lose it.

So I poured him the wine mixed with sleeping pills and stunned him.

Nicole arrived and together we carried him into the bathroom tub, which was already full.

Gail woke up suddenly, struggling to get out, but we pushed him down together.

Then I went and moved a bucket of water over him.

After waking up from a night's sleep, when he looked again, he rolled his eyes in the dry bathtub and almost got out of the bathtub, indicating that he was not completely dead at the time.

Oh, God!
Together we packed him into a box, drove back to school, and dumped him in the pool at night.

The swimming pool is covered with fallen leaves, thinking that someone will find it the next day.

But wait, no one found out.

In the end, I couldn't bear it anymore, and forced Nicole to watch it together, pretending to throw the key in by accident, and drained the water.

But still no body.

I was terrified then. "

"Don't be afraid, I'm sure he's not dead."

Chuck looked over: "At least he didn't die then."

"why?"

Mia looked at Chuck pitifully.

"Did you turn the switch in the bathtub when you held him down with the bucket of water?"

Chuck asked.

Mia was stunned, thought about it carefully, and shook her head: "Probably not. We were all exhausted at that time, and Nicole directly tore off the shower curtain and covered him, and we came out."

"So how is the water in this bathtub emptied?"

Chuck said: "No one else but him, and if he consciously turned the valve to empty the water in the bathtub, then you really think a bucket of water can hold him down? And during the period you heard any Is there any movement?"

"No."

Mia said with certainty.

"of course not."

Chuck nodded: "At that time, you felt that after you killed someone, there must be panic, especially in such a quiet night, in your own room!
But if there is any movement, you will be shocked.

At that moment, an ordinary person who really survived the catastrophe could not be rational enough to control his behavior and not make any noise.

At the very least, I'll be breathing heavily.

But you just didn't hear anything.

This is already very telling.

Also, I didn't find any scars on your body. When you pressed him in the bathtub, didn't he resist? "

"Resisted..."

Mia explained.

"Resisted but not completely resisted!"

Chuck corrected: "Otherwise, a strong man's desire to survive at the moment of dying cannot be underestimated.

It is impossible to be completely controlled by a woman.

Let you still have time to carry the bottled water to press him.

Didn't even leave any scratches on you.

Have you locked his hands so that he cannot move them? "

"No, it's just that we avoided his hand."

Mia tried to recall the scene at that time.

Now she also found more and more doubts.

"Avoid his hand?"

Chuck reminded: "If you have time to move the bottled water, it must be Nicole who reached out and pressed him into the water in the bathtub without controlling his hands. A person who is really dying will not go Reaching out to grab the hand that was pressing on him?
It's not that you avoided his hand!

Instead, he is deliberately avoiding your hands!

And with the depth of the bathtub, what's the point of carrying bottled water?

If he hadn't died at the time, the pressure of the bucket of water on his body would have no effect at all, and he could be easily moved away, or even needn't be moved away, just need to probe to breathe.

Let me guess, Nicole told you to move it? "

"Yes."

Mia's eyes were blank.

"She's preparing time for him."

Chuck said: "Even if you play dead, you still need acting skills, otherwise if something is wrong, you will notice it, and then all this will fall short.

I guess she didn't let you take a second look, did she? "

"Correct."

Mia said in a daze: "After we moved his suitcase back to school and threw it into the swimming pool, I looked into the swimming pool in the room, because I desperately wanted people to find him, and wanted to wait until that moment, but she just pulled him away." Put down the curtain, let me rest and leave him alone... Is he really not dead?"

"The longer the time, the easier it is to reveal."

Chuck nodded: "Do you smell a special smell? If you really killed him and soaked his body in water for a whole night, it is impossible that there is no corpse smell at all. Believe me, that smell You'll definitely notice."

"No."

Mia tried hard to recall, and after shaking her head, she suddenly said: "Yes! Even if I was too scared to think about it, I can't remember.

But I remember the next day when we put him in a box and moved him out of the hotel, because it was too heavy, the hotel owner and his wife came to help us move it, which almost didn't scare me to death.

But we didn't do any treatment, it was just an ordinary wooden box, if there was a peculiar smell, the boss and the proprietress must have smelled it too.

Also, on our way back to school, we were stopped by the police because of the rain and traffic jam. At that time, he also moved the boxes and didn't smell any peculiar smell.

So Gail is really not dead..."

"And if he wasn't dead then, why did he pretend to be dead?"

Chuck looked at her.

"He's going to scare me to death!"

Mia clutched her chest: "He has tried twice, and after the water in the swimming pool was emptied, I didn't find his body that should have been in it, so I just passed out by the pool.

When I was rescued by everyone and Nicole, and helped back to my room, I found his suit hanging on the bathroom door!

That suit he was wearing when he died!
I was so scared that I was about to have another heart attack.

More importantly, there was a set of film with the suit. After we went to photocopy it, we found that someone was monitoring all our actions.

Nobody knew about the plan except me and Nicole!
Also, the reason why I went to the police station to identify the body was because a newspaper was stuffed under my door, which reported that a body was found today.

Oh, GOD!"

"It seems that your heart is much stronger than you imagined."

Chuck thought about it.

"Any questions?"

Mia has been suspicious of everything Chuck said, and subconsciously looked over in amazement.

"no problem."

Chuck said calmly: "It's good news for you, but for some people, it's not."

Mia clutched her chest, silent.

Obviously, if it wasn't for her heart being much stronger than imagined, she would have been frightened to death by this series of shocks.

When the forensic doctor conducts an autopsy, she will only conclude that she died of a heart attack, and there will be no suspicion of her husband being involved.

Chuck knew what she was thinking and didn't explain his pun, which meant not only her husband, but Dr. Wilson as well.

After all, it's a pun, all you need is understanding.

Otherwise, if you try hard to explain where the jokes are, like those who say sneers, it will lose its original flavor.

"I now how to do?"

Mia grabbed the cross on her chest with one hand, couldn't help grabbing Chuck's hand with the other, and looked at Chuck with tears in her eyes.

"It's simple."

Chuck looked at her: "Since you know he's not dead, then don't worry about him, take over the school while he's hiding in the dark, and he won't be able to resist coming out."

"and then?"

Mia panicked and said: "Let's pretend that none of this happened? He may be able to do it, but I can't. I want to get rid of him, and he also wants to kill me completely! I can't go on living like this for a moment. !"

"do not worry."

Chuck calmly said: "I will go with you and help you check the accounts. You don't think he is a man who cheats wantonly, drinks and tyrannically, and is so daring enough to plan to murder his wife, is he a good man? Such a person needs money, With a lot of money, there must be an act of embezzlement of public funds, just let him in."

"But what if he threatens me with my plot to murder him?"

Mia worried.

"Once he speaks out, he also intended to murder, and he did it again and again. The crime is much heavier than yours."

Chuck analyzed: "As long as you are not afraid of him, he will probably not dare to bring it up, and even if you do, you are still the one who is tricked and calculated. It is understandable. Find a good lawyer and want to impress the jurors. Innocent or misdemeanor, it's too easy."

"Then when will he come out later?"

Mia is still worried. It can be seen that she is very afraid of her husband, especially after knowing that her husband and his sympathizers are planning to kill her, even if she thinks of a certain possibility in the future, she can't bear the feeling.

"Don't worry, there will be a way."

Chuck didn't do everything.

Mia is much stronger than her weak appearance.

Ok.

The heart testifies!

Mia completely confessed herself in front of Chuck, told everything she knew, and then got into the car and followed Chuck to St. Anthan Boys' School.

This is an ancient castle.

It's the kind that can shoot Harry Potter.

It's no wonder that Mia's husband is so calculated to want to inherit completely.

When Chuck's car drove in, stopped at the door, and got out of the car, a thin figure rushed over, accompanied by a shrill cry: "Chuck, woo, why did you come here~ Get me out quickly! "

When I entered my eyes, I saw little Howard with a miserable expression, hugged Chuck's thigh with a sliding shovel, his eyes were full of hopelessness, and he was crying heartbroken.

Chuck glanced at him, then looked away, and looked at a group of people not far away, all teenagers in the uniform of St. Anthan Boys' School.

Among them, the young man who occupies the position C stands there with his chest folded, looking at Chuck full of playful and playful eyes, and Mia, who occasionally falls on Chuck's side, is full of indescribable taste.
