Chapter 22 Drugs, Lies, and Pranks (3)
Zhen Ai said business: "According to their confession, Laura is a spoiled girl with a bad temper and likes to tease her classmates. These are the only people who play well with her in school. Little Parker is her boyfriend, and she doesn't care about everything." Follow her. Well, one more thing, Parker was a heartthrob at school, so Lola was very jealous of girls her age.

But these are not enough reasons to kill.It's not enough for people to strip her clothes and hang her from a tree. "

"It's like a kind of thing." Zhen Ai bit her lower lip lightly, looking for a suitable word in her mind, "Revenge, venting anger, it's also like... a ritual."

Yan Su's mind was distracted unexpectedly, he didn't listen to a word, he just stared at her intently.

Under the bright white light, with the black curtain as the background, her long hair hangs down her ears, her palm-sized face is full, her eyes are a little bewildered due to contemplation, and she is rare and charming; her white teeth are biting her bright red lips, with an inexplicable A pure delusion.

He immediately looked away, took a deep breath, and quickly held his breath.

Hormones, hormones, the air around you is full of hormones!He can't breathe!
It was because he was sick that he brought her into this closed and dark space alone at night.

Zhen Ai saw him strangely: "What are you doing?"

Yan Su changed the topic: "From the testimony, we can see who the murderer is."

Zhen Ai continued to read the file.

Kelly's testimony—

"Lola found the threatening text in her room, so she called us over to read it. She made a fuss when she had nothing to do. It was useless that coward Qi Mo immediately yelled to leave. Laura has been going crazy, I saw There are cigarettes, alcohol and marijuana in the car, let everyone use a little. I didn't expect it to become more and more chaotic...

After the car rushed into the woods, Laura jumped out of the car and disappeared.This girl goes crazy every time she drinks.I didn't want to go to her, but Tony said I must.Qi Mo was afraid, what if everyone got lost?Parker said, come back every 15 minutes for a meeting.After I came back, I didn’t want to look for her anymore, I started the car to leave, and the car only moved a few meters before I found that the fuel tank was leaking..."

Tony's testimony—

"We didn't plan to come back that day, but Laura was on drugs and was very excited and kept arguing. In the car, Anna said that Laura was wayward and savage, and the two quarreled again. Of course, because I drank alcohol, my words were a little rushed , also accused Laura a few words...

After the car rushed under the tree, Laura disappeared, and Anna was still angry and refused to look for it. Parker scolded her anxiously, saying that she was the one who made Laura go away in anger.Anna also drank, and was the first to rush into the woods in a fit of anger.Qi Mo and Kelly also refused to look for it, because I was the oldest, so after I told them a few words, they went. "

Qi Mo's testimony——

"Isn't there always a case where the sons of high-ranking officials are retaliated against? I am very scared, so when Luo La said that she would come back, I absolutely supported it. The car belongs to Parker, and he should be driving it. But Luo La made a big noise, and he To take care of her, I let Kelly drive. I am really afraid of Kelly driving. He has a bad temper and is fast. I expected something to happen, but everyone ignored me...

In fact, when I went to find Laura later, I didn't look for them separately.It's not that I'm timid, but because my head is dizzy, I have to sneak behind Tony.It was terrible to stay where I was, and it was terrible to go into the woods by myself.But after walking with Tony for a while, he got lost.Scared me. "

Daisy's testimony—

"Perhaps everyone thinks that this matter is Laura's own fault. She is too stubborn and self-indulgent. She used to go out to play, and she liked to grab the steering wheel when she was unhappy. She has developed a habit. But in fact, we are also responsible. On the way back, everyone's mood None of them are good. Except for Kelly who was driving, we drank and smoked some marijuana, and we were more emotional, and finally quarreled like that...

Because of guilt, I also went to the woods to look for it, but I was really scared and not sane, and I ran back halfway, only to bump into Kelly moving the car.I was afraid that he would scold me for not looking for someone, and run into the woods again..."

Anna's testimony—

"Lola has always been very capricious and self-willed. She said that everyone would follow her when she came back. She was afraid of intimidation, because she saw a beautiful woman on the beach talking to Parker. She was more jealous than a ghost, and quarreled with Parker all the way. I can't bear to see Parker coaxing her while taking drugs and smoking in the car. Well, it's actually because I also smoked drugs and got grumpy. But even the best-tempered Tony said a few words about her sentence……

Relying on the protection of her good boyfriend Parker who everyone likes, she became more and more angry as she talked.He had to open the door and jump out of the car, but fortunately Parker stopped him.In the end, she went to grab the steering wheel, and Parker tried to stop it again, but Laura acted like crazy, and even unlocked the inner locks of the car doors.I nearly rolled off the car.Hmph, she just likes to play tricks, one after another, grabbing the steering wheel and jumping out of the car, all of a sudden she disappeared.She just likes other people looking for her, which is really annoying. "

Parker Testimony—

"Lola said she would go back. As her boyfriend, of course I support her. Everyone is in a bad mood and has opinions, so I try to liven up the atmosphere along the way. But Laura's mood is getting worse and worse. In the end, I I can't control it. She almost jumped out of the car, but luckily I stopped her...

After something happened, everyone was very upset and didn't want to go to her.Only Daisy and Tony agreed to look for it.Fortunately, Tony convinced the others.I was worried that there would be accidents if everyone dispersed, so I said to gather in 15 minutes.Unfortunately, I didn't find it, and neither did anyone else.In the end she had an accident..."

Zhen Ai supported her cheeks, frowned and thought about it. When she first saw it, she felt that the case was too simple, and the murderer was that person.

But after thinking about it, it's impossible, how could it be?
"Impossible?" Zhen Ai muttered in a low voice, tilted her head, pursed her lips and thought about it.

Yan Su said that she should have come up with something, and she was not in a hurry, she waited slowly.

Zhen Ai on the opposite side lowered her head, poking her fingers in vain, like a primary school student, swipe across the key points of the testimony again and again.The girl's brows were like jade, and she frowned slightly.The milky white light illuminated her skin transparently, so...beautiful.

Yan Su silently lowered his eyes, staring at his fingers.

Zhen Ai thought about it seriously for a long time, sorting out the thoughts in her heart in a logical order, and she also thought about the order.

She is usually insensitive to things other than her major, very dull, and always made fun of by him.Nowadays, it's rare for her to find that she is interested in reasoning, and even Yan Su has kindly brought her here, so she naturally hopes to let him see her smarter... er, non-stay-at-home side.

"The testimonies were all high school students, young in mental age, and they recorded their statements separately, and there were some emotional colors in the testimony. There were many overlaps in the content of the witnesses, so I think the credibility of these testimonies should be more than 90%." Zhen Ai put on a serious look, and said, she took out Parker's testimony and pointed at it.
"But Parker's confession is very strange. Others more or less added subjective thoughts and emotions, and they said a long list; his confession seemed to complete the task, very objective and organized, without revealing any feelings for Laura. "

Yan Su nodded: "I'm very glad you saw this. This is also a common way to judge the correctness of a confession. But it is not completely accurate. People who are indifferent or organized in daily life can do it. For example, if you die today Now, I will take the transcript as a witness, and the testimony I will give will be more objective and logical than Parker's, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Zhen Ai: "...Thank you for your active cooperation and contribution to my murder case."

Yan Su nodded: "It should."

It should be!Zhen Ai glared at him: "You are a logical adult. I told you, aren't they high school students?"

Tracing back to the truth: "When I was in elementary school, I could be so clear and organized."

Zhen Ai narrowed her eyes in displeasure: "Mr. Freak, as Police Officer Diaz said, do you want to show off?"

Yan Su's back stiffened again, he was stunned, and said: "...I won't talk anymore, you continue."

"Let's start with the most critical method of killing." Zhen Ai raised her eyes, saw that he was really disciplined, and continued, "Although the heavy rain washed away a lot of evidence, the two most basic problems were not covered up."

Yan Su nodded cooperatively, as if willing to hear more about it.

Zhen Ai: "First, no one saw the dead body before getting on the bus, but they saw it after getting on the bus. Second, it is difficult for even a man to hang a dead body up a tall tree branch, and these students didn't grab the dead body. The abrasions from the rope, and there was no protective equipment such as gloves or other means of carrying the body nearby. The only explanation was the car."

Yan Su clasped his palms together, pressed them to his lips, and listened quietly, a few traces of approval flashed across his dark brown eyes from time to time.

Zhen Ai was greatly encouraged and said boldly:
"Daisy's testimony mentioned that she ran back and saw Kelly moving the car. On this point, I don't think she lied. However, on a stormy night, she might not be able to see who that person was. Only Because it was Kelly who drove the car before, she took it for granted that the person in the car was Kelly. Of course, this cannot rule out Kelly's suspicion. Regardless of who was driving, but the person in the car at that time was probably the murderer.

The murderer first strangled Luo La with a rope. One end of the rope was tied around her neck, the other end was looped around a tree branch, and tied to the wheel bearing at the bottom of the car.Back up the car a few steps and the horsepower of the wheels will hoist the body up.Adjust the height to cover the inside of the tree.

After everyone got into the car, Kelly drove a few meters and found that the fuel tank was out of gas.That's when the car moved a little forward, so the body slid some distance and landed on the window.

Judging from this, the fuel tank may also have been damaged by the murderer. "

Zhen Ai concluded: "Lola's death method, and the movement and appearance of the body, there is only one explanation. From this point of view, if Kelly took the car key when he got out of the car, then the murderer can only have the car key. Anyone—Kelly or Parker; but if Kelly didn't remove the key when he got out of the car, everyone could be the murderer, including the girls."

"That's right," Yan Su admired, adding evidence, "The fact is that Kelly left the keys in the car."

Zhen Ai frowned slightly, probably this was the reason why the police did not identify the murderer at that time, because it seemed that anyone could be a possibility.

Seeing Zhen Ai's orderly reasoning, Yan Su asked, "Then, how did the murderer find the fleeing Laura in such a short period of time and kill her?"

"I was also curious at the beginning, how did the murderer find Laura so quickly in such a big forest."

Zhen Ai laid out the testimony and pointed to the above places,
"Anna said that Laura grabbed the steering wheel and opened the inner lock of the car door, causing her to almost roll down. She also said that Laura disappeared immediately. The other witnesses all said the same thing, and mentioned that Laura had been drinking. Also took medicine.

I boldly imagined that it was very possible that Lola rolled unconsciously into the bushes or got under the car.At the moment when the car crashed, everyone else was concerned about themselves. It is very likely that at this moment, the murderer yelled 'Laura' into the darkness.So, after regaining their composure, the remaining people preconceived, thinking that Laura ran into the woods.But in fact, she was unconscious under the car. "

When Zhen Ai said this, she shrugged her shoulders: "This is a bit of a guess. I don't know how the murderer managed to control her into a coma."

Yan Su stared at her steadfastly, took out a piece of paper from the folder next to her and handed it to Zhen Ai.

It's the autopsy report.In addition to alcohol, marijuana, hallucinogens and tranquilizers were found in the stomach of the deceased.It's nothing more than a drug that makes people hyperactive and then fall into a coma.

Zhen Ai, who was still sticking out her tongue half a moment ago and was not very confident, immediately raised her chin proudly: "I'm really a genius!"

Yan Su let out a sigh, and gave her a disgusted look, then lowered his head half a moment later, but smiled to himself.

Zhen Ai also secretly laughed in her heart.

Even though it was such a simple scene, neither warm nor romantic, the cramped interrogation room, with a table and two chairs, a beam of light and endless darkness, made her feel unexpectedly happy.

The world is so quiet, there are only rustling papers and their conversations, but because of the silence, every sentence can be said to the heart.

Although it is all about the case, it has nothing to do with feelings.

But such a wise exchange also made her very happy.

Yan Su leaned forward a little, his voice was low like the wind in the night: "Continue, I'm looking forward to it."

Is he testing her?
Zhen Ai was as happy as she was, and continued to analyze: "From the testimony, I saw a few doubts. This group of high school students often play high, drinking, smoking and smoking marijuana are common occurrences.

On the day of the incident, except for Kelly who was driving, the rest of the people were like Laura. They drank alcohol and smoked marijuana, and their minds were a little unconscious. Where is Lola, thought she ran away.

But one person didn't.When Laura was about to jump out of the car for the first time, he quickly grabbed her; when Laura grabbed the steering wheel, he also stopped her.He tried to prevent it on the surface, but he might do something bad in the dark. Perhaps, he even unlocked the car door and pushed Roller. "

Yan Su curled his lips: "You doubt Harry Parker?"

"Yes." Zhen Ai was very firm.

"It was obvious that the victim could be strangled to death, but she insisted on stripping her clothes and hanging them on a tree. This is obviously a way of venting anger. The murderer's killing method was not a sudden whim, but a long-term preparation.

All these seemingly accidental events, only Parker can be connected.

At the beginning, the threat on the fruit knife in the hotel scared Qi Mo to leave. He was very timid, and everyone in the company knew it; Laura was jealous, but saw the beautiful woman hooking up with Parker; Anna and Daisy stood by Parker. Here, I think Lola is narrow-minded; Kelly, Tony and other boys also think that Lola is making trouble out of no reason.The more Parker coaxed her, the more arrogant Laura was, and the more disgusted the others were.

Kelly has a violent personality and likes to use extreme means to solve problems. Parker puts their favorite marijuana in the car. "

"But these are not the most important." When she said this, she paused slightly,
"Because the murderer was well prepared, he will not allow any mistakes regarding the car keys. From the very beginning of my objective analysis, I believe that the murderer is most likely to be Kelly or Parker.

But Kelly refused to go to Laura. It stands to reason that the murderer would want everyone to see him leave the car.On the other hand, Parker made a subtle agreement for 15 minutes, and then stimulated Anna, who was the least willing to leave the car, to rush into the woods.

For 15 minutes, he was not worried that everyone would get lost, but he hinted that everyone was not allowed to come back until the full 15 minutes.

Thinking about it this way, this case is really too simple. "

After Zhen Ai finished speaking, she looked at Yan Su, eagerly looking forward to praise, but seemed afraid of making mistakes in her reasoning.

"Sometimes the case is not as complicated as you think. Besides, the cases committed by high school students have always been low-level."

Yan Su smiled faintly, not knowing what he was thinking, his pupils darkened, he raised his eyes after a few seconds, and continued to ask, "Compared with these, I want to know what you were hesitating at first."

Zhen Ai was a little embarrassed: "Because he died."

Yan Su nunuzui: "Oh, that's it. Because he's dead, it's impossible for him to kill people while he's alive."

Zhen Ai was taken aback for a moment, after what he said, she realized that this kind of thinking was illogical.

Then why did she not understand such a simple truth at first?
Parker died later, which doesn't mean he didn't kill people before.

"Then why did Parker die?"

Yan Su's tone became weaker: "I also want to understand this question."

Zhen Ai saw that his complexion was not good, and she was suspicious in her heart, could it be that the murderer has not been caught yet?But she didn't ask after all, but pointed to another box that pointed to "Parker": "Can I see that?"

"Please."

Zhen Ai was full of energy and energy, and quickly read the materials of Parker's case. What happened was very strange.

Everyone had received a text from Parker, saying that there was something important to discuss and that everyone was assembled in the squash club locker room at 9 p.m.During this period, someone called Parker, but the phone was turned off.

Several people gathered together and waited for a few minutes, but Parker did not come.Kelly called him.The phone was turned on, and everyone followed the sound, and saw Parker hanging naked from the shower head.Exactly the same way Lola died.And the five-pointed star and characters were left on the glass of the compartment, just like the ones on the car glass when Lola died.
