Chapter 381 Interrogation Room

"And then you rushed out of the house?"

"Yes."

"What time was it when you rushed out of the house? Do you remember?"

"Eleven fifty? It's still twelve o'clock. It's about that time. You can check the phone records."

"Telephone records are not reliable. After all, relying on telephone records can't get rid of the crime and clear the suspicion."

".So you guys actually think I did it in the end?"

In the interrogation room, Mandy leaned back slightly and pulled the silver chain in his hand. The sound of metal collisions caused the two small town police detectives across the table in the room to sit up gently. After looking at each other, the cheek on the right Detective Hu put his right fist in front of his mouth and coughed twice, then turned to look at the wall clock in the interrogation room.

It was already 9 o'clock in the morning, and the sunlight outside the opaque interrogation room was just right, piercing through the dark clouds and dissipating the concealment and treachery of last night into smoke.

"Let's go through the process one last time, name?"

"Mandy Gonzalez."

"age?"

"18."

"Relationship with the missing person?"

"Friend, or girlfriend?" Mandy sighed.

"Why did you show up at the scene of the disappearance in the first place?" The bearded police detective asked in a deep voice, "I hope you can answer this question well, it depends on whether you can continue to go back to school as usual today, instead of just sitting there Spend time with us here. Our agents have more patience than you can imagine, and have met more difficult suspects and confessions."

"I've said it." Mandy stared at the bearded detective blankly, "Amara was talking to me before she was killed, and I heard the whole thing on the phone, and I completely understood what was on the phone. I have recounted it to you in full!"

"An upside-down, upside-down 'man' with big teeth attacked your girlfriend." The tall detective on the left of the bearded detective spoke, with an indescribable expression of doubt or mockery on his face, "We are very happy It’s hard to believe this confession. After all, the people in this room are all adults, Miss Gonzalez, you seem to have just come of age, and you even have to wait two years before you can independently buy cigarettes and alcohol?”

"Hey, I don't like your friend's tone." Mandy lay down on the chair and glanced at the bearded detective, "If you want to sing red faces and white faces, you should try to find some more handsome and temperamental police officers ?”

"My companion probably didn't mean that, it's just that everyone's minds are a little unclear after the overnight investigation, so it's easy to say something that is misleading, just like Miss Gonzalez's confession, as detectives, it's very difficult for us Believe what you said, there is a 'monster' that crawled out of hell in the Bible, attacked Miss Amara at home, and forcibly took her away." The bearded detective rubbed his nose and said, " To be honest, because of your bizarre statement and your mental instability when you were found at the scene, many detectives in the bureau are now suspecting you."

"Do you suspect me? Do you suspect that I drove my Porsche to my best friend's house at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, climbed over the wall and entered her yard to pretend to be a ghost to scare her, and then forcibly took her out of her house?" Mandy's voice was a little cold , "And after doing all this, I have to drive back to the scene and wander around, just to be discovered by you?"

"Sorry, the lover and the perpetrator will most likely return to the scene twice. We just found you and your sports car near the victim's home." The bearded detective said, "And the surveillance of the entire road The video also 'coincidentally' was cut off."

"So I guess you guys must have checked my trunk?" Mandy said. "Well, did you find anything in there? Was there a dead girl who was tied up and had tape around her mouth?"

"No." The bearded detective glanced at his companion and slowly shook his head.

"Why don't you believe what I said?" Mandy sighed quietly, put her hands lightly on the table, and looked at the two police detectives on the other side of the table who still had silent and suspicious expressions on their faces, "You should have also investigated Are you there?"

"Are you referring to the living room of the victim's house?" the bearded detective whispered, "Yes, of course we checked, there are no fingerprints, no footprints, only a mess."

"You think I'm the only one who can wreck that place like that?" Mandy whispered.

The scene of the crime instantly appeared in the minds of the two police detectives. It was a single-family house that can be seen everywhere in the small town of Carmel. It is connected to the living room of the detached cottage, and it is in that place that the tragedy happened.

When a large number of police rushed to the scene after receiving the call, they were completely stunned by the sight of the yard and the living room. The first thing they saw was blood, a large amount of blood, spilled on the lawn of the yard and in the living room.The ceiling, walls, and even the fish tank were all covered with blood, and it was red to the eye.

The floor-to-ceiling windows connecting the living room to the yard shattered into pieces and evenly sprinkled on the lawn and the floor of the living room. After that, the scene in the living room was almost devastated. The most impressive thing is that the sofa weighing hundreds of kilograms was inserted upside down into the wall Almost at right angles to the floor, the TV was sliced ​​in half by some kind of sharp instrument, and the electronic 'guts' inside could be clearly seen.

The coffee table and the door panels are full of dents and cracks that were hit by heavy objects, and the cracks spread around. There is a big hole in the shoe cabinet, which seems to be pierced by a gun, but there is no smell of gunpowder smoke, and blood stains were found from above. Preliminary judgment It must have been punched through by some kind of creature.

The grand piano in the center of the room broke from the middle and collapsed on the ground, as if it had been violently smashed. The wallpaper above the TV was blooming with a flower of blood, almost occupying more than half of the wall area, replacing the hanging wall. That one and only abstract painting.

The most horrifying thing is the countless deep grooves carved out by sharp tools on the ceiling, walls and tiled floor. Those grooves are everywhere, making people feel like someone put two beasts in this living room There was a short-term battle with trapped animals, or a giant rotating cutting machine flew in the living room, the violent and frenzied atmosphere in the scars still remains in the minds of all police officers lingering.

At the same time, a question locked everyone tightly, what happened in this room last night?And where is the victim now?If dead, what about the body?

"Did you investigate the large amount of blood?" Mandy asked.

"It's still for forensic testing. It's cumbersome, but it's a necessary process." The bearded detective pressed his hands on the table, "The scratches in the living room are deep and clean, even if an adult holds a sharp knife It is difficult to cut so many marks with kitchen utensils. But according to the neighbors who called the police, the whole chaos happened within a minute and ended, that is, everything on the scene was left within 1 minute.”

"I run two-thirds of the way around the playground in 1 minute at most," Mandy said.

"I admit that one person's manpower really can't do that step." The bearded police detective nodded and said, "So we didn't rashly characterize you as a major suspect (when he said this, he found that Mandy was asking himself Show the silver bracelet in your hand) Please understand that what we are doing now is a necessary procedure, you are the only one who had direct contact with the victim before he disappeared, so you remain very important in this case A spot!"

"Amara was terrified on the phone." Mandy said softly. "I could feel through the phone that her terrified was not fake. It was the fear of near collapse. I think she really only saw To tremble like that when there is something inconceivable and unspeakable horror."

"Are you still sticking to your own beliefs? Your best friend has run into a ghost. We found a few bloody kitchen knives at the scene. Your best friend is very brave and at least confronted the devil head-on, and even stabbed him." Detective bearded Said with a slight sigh. "To be honest, the first time I arrived at the scene, I also thought that I had hit a ghost. But the police station and the people above would not consider this as a valid statement. They would say that either you fainted from fright, or you It's the killer trying to cover up his guilt."

"I don't care." Mandy said calmly, "If you think I'm a suspect, you can issue an arrest warrant if you can find evidence. Now when I'm chatting with you, it's very likely that many agents have already Have you gone to my house to collect evidence?"

The bearded detective didn't speak, but quietly avoided Mandy.

"I stand by my confession, but I also believe that my friend is not dead," Mandy said. "I wouldn't believe she was dead until I saw her body."

It was at this time that the door of the interrogation room was knocked open, and a female police officer walked in from the outside. She walked up to the bearded detective with a phone and handed it to him. In seconds, he raised his eyebrows slightly to look at Mandy, twirled around his beard, answered in a low voice, and then hung up the phone.

"I wasted too much of your time, Ms. Gonzalez. On behalf of the police department, I would like to express my sincere apologies to you. Your statement will be recorded faithfully here. The blood stains at the scene are now being tested for matching. I believe it can promote the whole case." If there are further breakthroughs in the case that require your help, we will visit you as soon as possible." The bearded police detective stood up, reached out his hand and took out the handcuff key from his waist to help Mandy Untied the shackles on his hands.

"Don't you think my confession is the imagination of the frightened little girl?" Mandy asked looking at the untied hands.

"Maybe, in my opinion your confession is still not very good." The bearded police detective said, "but at least compared to the confession, you have a very good uncle the mayor of the town. So far it seems that you have no motive for committing the crime, and you may There is no criminal capacity, so we have no reason to detain you for more than twelve hours, and as far as I know, a girl can't lift a sofa and swing it around."

At the murder scene, a sofa was inserted into the wall, leading directly to the bedroom next door. That scene can be regarded as the second most horrifying scene.

"Does uncle know about this?" Mandy glanced at the phone on the table and probably understood what happened, she sighed, "Can I leave now?"

"Of course, your car has parked at the gate of the police station, and you can leave at any time." The bearded detective said.

"Detective. What do you think is the truth of this matter?" Mandy looked at the bearded police detective in the seat and asked when she got up to leave, "Based on your intuition based on your years of experience in handling cases."

"Intuition?" The bearded police detective said silently, "I don't think there really are monsters. At least I won't easily push incomprehensible cases to monsters. This is a sign of incompetence."

"So you think this is still a man-made crime?"

"Yes." The bearded police detective nodded, looking at Mandy with determination in his eyes, "I also hope that Miss Gonzalez will take the initiative to stay away from the follow-up of this case after you are free from suspicion. A second victim in the short term."

"She's my friend, I don't want to let it go, I hope you can make further discoveries, I am more eager than any of you to find my friend." Mandy said softly, her eyes were full of tiredness, and she went straight out of the interrogation room.

She hadn't closed her eyes all night.

In the interrogation room, the bearded police detective and the tall police detective looked back at the girl leaving, and talked after a long time, "Do you think she is really not suspected?"

"I don't know." The bearded police detective whispered, "I only know that the town of Carmel will not be peaceful during this time, so be prepared to work overtime and die in the line of duty! My friend"
