Killing the US fear starts from the fatal bend

Chapter 122 Stanford's Neighbor and "Police" Dean

Just after Refett and his son left for a while, there was a soft "ding" in the kitchen. Mrs. Lillian walked over quickly and turned on the oven, and a strong sweet smell came.

She put on oven mitts, took out the tray and the cakes in it, and after packing most of them, she took out six or seven small cakes and packed them in exquisite paper boxes, tied a beautiful bowknot, and attached a letter Card with greeting, go outside.

As he walked, he said, "There was no one living in the house on the west side. I heard that the couple went to Paris to settle down. But something happened to his house recently. My daughter moved back and I will send some cakes there."

In the middle of speaking, he suddenly turned his head to look at Luke, and said to him: "I heard that she and her brother are both top students at Stanford University, and you are going to college soon, so ask them more about how to spend college life. "

How to spend college life
I am familiar with this.

If you choose to skip compulsory courses, you must skip elective courses. If you don’t work hard before the exam, it’s all up to the teacher to make money.

Mrs. Lillian just preached a few words casually, and didn't expect Luke to actually visit someone's house with him. Without waiting, she opened the door and went to the next door.

Warren House.

Rebecca Warren was tidying up the room she hadn't lived in for a long time, when she heard the knock on the door, she opened it suspiciously.

This residence has been vacant for a long time. It stands to reason that there should be no acquaintances around. Why did someone knock on the door just after I came back one day.

She opened the door, and a woman in her forties with a kind face stood at the door with a warm smile and a gift box in her hand.

When Lilian saw Rebecca open the door, she politely handed the small cake to her, and said, "Housewarming gift! Our family just moved here, and we are here to visit our neighbors. Please take care of us in the future."

Rebecca took the cake, welcomed Mrs. Lillian into the house, and said gratefully: "Thank you! I haven't lived here for a long time. We just moved here, so we can't talk about looking after you."

If women can look at each other pleasingly, they can always find a lot of common topics inexplicably, and quickly draw closer and become friends.

This was the case with Rebecca and Mrs. Lillian. They quickly chatted about everything from life to family.

Rebecca also confided to Mrs. Lillian about her recent troubles with a bitter face—her brother was involved in a murder case recently. She was sure that he was drinking with her at the time of the incident, but the police said that there was conclusive evidence to prove that It was indeed his brother who killed his girlfriend.

Rebecca has consulted lawyers and others, and even sent an email to her friend Sam who has suspended her studies to ask for help, but so far she has not found a good solution. Because of such family changes and emotional instability, she chose to suspend school for a semester , Change your mood in this empty house.

It's not easy for Lilian to express her opinion on this kind of professional matter, so she can only say a few words of comfort.

The two were talking when suddenly there was another knock on the door.

Rebecca wondered why someone came to the door just after moving here. Could it be another neighbor this time? The atmosphere in this community is really good.

She told Mrs. Lillian to wait in the living room, and went to open the door to welcome the guests.

As soon as the door was opened, a familiar face appeared in front of him.

Rebecca shouted in surprise: "Oh Maikar! Sam!"

There was a slight smile on the corner of Sam's mouth: "Isn't this little Becky?"

"Little Becky" was a nickname given to her by Sam when they were in school, and she called it out at this time, as if they had returned to the carefree days when they were in school, and the strangeness they had not seen for a long time disappeared instantly.

As usual, she said, "Well, you can call it whatever you like."

Then he threw his arms around Sam's neck and gave him a warm long-lost hug.

After the two parted, Sam got down to business: "I got your email."

When her friend found out that she was in trouble, she rushed over immediately, which made Rebecca feel very warm, as if she had some strength to support her, and she said with a little self-mockery: "I thought you wouldn't come. "

Dean from behind interjected at the right time: "I'm Dean, his brother."

The two greeted each other.

Sam continued: "We're here to help, what can I do for you?"

Rebecca, who was dazzled by the joy of the reunion, suddenly remembered that there were other guests at home, so she hurriedly said, "Come in now."

Rebecca greeted the two of them, and Sam found a topic: "This house is nice."

Rebecca turned her head and said, "This is my parents' room. After that incident, I ran here to spend the long weekend."

"That incident" refers, of course, to the fact that her brother was accused of murder.

She continued: "I've decided to take a break this semester and wait until Zach is fine before I leave."

Zac is her brother's name.

Sam went on to ask, "Where are your parents?"

Rebecca was a little helpless: "They have lived in Paris for half a year, and they are rushing back to deal with this matter."

While talking, the three of them had already arrived in the living room.

Lillian stood up, and Rebecca introduced them separately.

"This is my college classmate Sam, and his brother Dean." "This is my neighbor, Lillian Williams who just moved here."

Sam and Dean reached out and shook hands with Mrs. Lillian respectively.

Several people sat down separately, and Sam asked, "So what happened?"

Rebecca happened to be talking to Mrs. Lillian about this suspicious case just now, so she simply explained the details to several people at the same time.

She leaned forward and said, "When Zach came home, he found his girlfriend, Emily, tied to a chair. She was beaten badly, bleeding, and not breathing."

"He called 911 right away and the police showed up and arrested him."

After talking about the general situation of the matter, she recalled the sad memory again, with tears in her eyes, and added: "If Zac really killed someone, there is only one possibility, that is, he appeared at the same time. two locations."

"The police have surveillance video, which was captured by a surveillance camera across the street. The above records show that Zach returned home at 10:30, and then Emily was killed."

"But I swear he was still drinking beer with me at 10:30 and didn't come home until after midnight."

Mrs. Lillian showed sympathy in her eyes, and comforted her: "Maybe the police made a mistake. Someone who was about the size of Zach entered his house and killed Emily. Now the surveillance camera picture, you know, can't be seen at all. not sure."

Sam suggested, "Maybe we should go see the crime scene, Zack's house."

Dean praised him in time: "That's right."

Rebecca asked suspiciously: "What are you going to do? What can you do?"

Sam never drafted a lie, especially in the matter of pretending to be an official one, and he was very familiar with it.

He opened his mouth and said, "I can't do anything, but Dean is a policeman."

Rebecca looked at Dean.

Dean, who was suddenly mentioned, was a little overwhelmed, but he and Sam cooperated tacitly, and he often pretended to be a veteran of the FBI. He just paused the vaccine for a while, and put a confident smile on his face: "To be exact, It's a sheriff."
