Dr. Mende in the interrogation room swallowed, but still said to Haley in a firm tone: "I really don't know."

"No one will send you such a video for no reason. Isn't the other party worried that you will call the police?"

"Maybe it's to play tricks on me? Maybe it's just some kind of virus? I didn't even think about it that much!"

"You didn't think that much? But my colleagues extracted several videos from your computer. Including the murders of the Dalton brothers and sisters, the Carls, and the Johnsons. This is not to tease you or just a virus. No People store viruses on computer hard drives. You don’t look at them and let them go, you study them carefully. What’s your next dissertation topic?”

"I said, I don't know." Dr. Mende replied very firmly, "I will not say another word until the lawyer arrives."

"Sensible answer. But can you tell me, that time you climbed the mountain with Dr. Megan, who else walked with you?"

A trace of surprise flashed in Dr. Mende's eyes, and then he replied calmly, "It's just the two of us."

"You're lying. There are only two people, how do you take a group photo?"

"We use a tripod."

The smile on Haili's lips deepened, and he slowly shook his head, "Have you looked at that photo seriously? There is another person's projection on the ground. As a scholar, you may be very good. But you are not a superb liar. Who is that man?"

Dr. Mende remained silent.

Jessica in the observation room suddenly realized, and said to Ian: "Should we investigate whether there are other people in the research team of Dr. Megan and Dr. Mende? This person is the one who helped them carry out these murder plans." !"

There was no unnecessary reaction on Ian's face, until Haili walked back slowly.

"Ian, do you have any ideas?"

"I do have ideas, but I have no evidence to support my ideas."

Jessica's curiosity was aroused by Ian's words, "What the hell are you thinking? Don't keep it secret, tell me quickly!"

"Dr. Megan was the mastermind of a series of murders 15 years ago. He planned everything for his research. At that time, Dr. Mende was his accomplice, his assistant, and even the young Mende was his plan The implementer. Because of this, Dr. Meghan will hand over all the information to Mende with such confidence. Only Dr. Mende will not waste his efforts and will continue his research. Dr. Mende is the successor of Dr. Meghan who." Ian narrated his thoughts in a calm and unwavering tone.

Jessica shrugged, still not following Ian's thoughts, "So?"

Haley put his finger on Jessica's chin with a smile, and explained with a smile: "Jessica, think about it, Dr. Mende is now the same age as Dr. Meghan back then. Where does he have enough strength and strength?" Speed ​​subdues the strong Johnson in the parking lot? For example, Jerry Dalton is an obvious athlete. On the other hand, Mende is a fat scholar. You think he directly kidnapped the Dalton brothers and sisters, risky Will it be too big?"

"So, the role of Mende now is Dr. Megan 15 years ago! He inherited Dr. Megan's position and ideas, so there must be another person to replace Mende! Play your role as Mende back then !"

"That's right." Haley nodded.

At this time, Ian suddenly remembered something, "Fin, I want to watch the video of Mr. Gordon and his daughter in the carriage!"

Finn took out his laptop and opened the video.

Ian frowned, looked at the video very seriously, and then said to Finn, "Can you zoom in on this part?"

Ian's finger pointed at Mr. Gordon's daughter.

Fein used software to amplify her hair.

"Haley, come and take a look."

"What?" Haili came to Ian's side with a smile, leaned down, and deliberately pressed his face to Ian.

Ian turned sideways to avoid him, pointed to the screen and said, "Did you see it?"

Haili didn't look at the screen, but looked at Ian's eyebrows, "I saw it."

Ian frowned, thinking that this guy didn't even look at the computer screen, and was talking nonsense with his eyes open again.

"Oh, what did you see?"

"Your eyes are so beautiful. Can I kiss you?" Haili's voice was very soft, and the lowered eyelids seemed to be slowly falling sky.

Ian got up in silence and left Haley's range. He turned his back and called the hospital, "Hello, I would like to ask if Ms. Gordon is awake? This is Ian from the FBI Connor."

"She's awake, Mr. Detective," the paramedic replied.

"Is there a hairpin among her belongings?"

"Yes."

"I have a question to ask her, where did she get this hairpin?"

"She said it was given to her by Sheamer, her brother's friend."

Ian paused, turned around and said to Hailey, "Let's go, we have something to do."

Hailey smiled with his pockets in his pocket, and walked after Ian.

"Hey, wait! Can you tell me what's going on? Why did Ian make a phone call like he knew everything?" Jessica looked at Fern Keating who was putting away his laptop.

The other party replied lightly: "Because in the case of Karl and Joanna, the victim Joanna should have worn a hairpin given to her by her husband in her hair."

"and then?"

"But no such thing was found on the body of the victim. Either Joanna fell on the way to be subdued by the murderer, or it was in the hands of the murderer. But now this hairpin appears in the hairpin of Miss Gordon, a survivor of the latest case. What do you think?"

"So either Miss Gordon was an accomplice in the case, or the murderer put the card on Miss Gordon?"

"Thank God you finally caught up with the case."

Ian and Hailey got into the car, and Hailey called Shemer very cooperatively, but no one answered.

They could only ask Finn Keating to help track down the location of Sheamer's cell phone signal, and learned that Shemer was at Hunter's home at the moment.

Ian hurriedly called Hunter and asked him to beware of Shemer.Obviously, Shemer also has his own purpose in approaching Gordon's house.Shemer approached this family as a classmate of Hunter, observing them and studying them, just like Dr. Megan back then!

"Hello, I'm Hunter Gordon."

"Please be silent and listen to me first. I am Ian Connor. Hunter, is Shemer with you now?"

Hunter lowered his voice and replied: "Yes, he came to comfort me after he knew that my father and sister almost died. He also plans to drive me to the hospital to visit them in a while. What happened?"

"We're on our way now. Please try to act like we're not the caller. We have some questions for Shemer."

Hunter lowered his voice and asked nervously, "Is he related to the case?"

"Hunter, don't think too much now. What you need is to deal with him as calmly as possible, and don't make him feel any doubt."

Hunter swallowed on the other end of the phone, and said in a polite but obviously impatient voice, "I'm really sorry, our family doesn't need a newspaper subscription any more. Please don't call me any more."

"Fine." Ian hung up the phone.

When they got to Gordon's house, Sheamer's car was still parked at the door.

Ian and Haley rang the doorbell, and Hunter ushered them in.

Shemer on the sofa got up, "Oh, look, the federal agents are here. Should I go, Hunter?"

"No...it's nothing, the two detectives are just here for routine questioning." Hunter became a little nervous.

"Then do I need to make a cup of coffee or something? Avoid it?" Shemer stared at Ian. He still remembered the last time Ian pressed him against the car window.

"Actually Shemer, the person we want to ask is you." Ian sat down on the sofa.

Hunter looked at the two of them helplessly, while Haley blinked at Hunter, "Hunter, if you don't mind, can you make some coffee for me and my partner?"

"Ah, okay!" Hunter walked towards the kitchen, looking back at Shemer as he walked.

Shemer laughed, "I was questioned by federal agents, and I can go to school to show off."

"Perhaps, we know you gave Hunter's sister a hairpin. Where did that hairpin come from?"

"That's just a hairpin!" Xie Mo showed a funny expression, but he looked at Ian indifferently.

"Too bad it's not an ordinary hairpin. You better tell us where you got it before we say why it's unusual."

Ian stared at Shemer, as if to see through all the panic under his forced calm appearance.

"It wasn't a glamorous way to get it. I didn't pay for it."

"I know."

Hunter came with the coffee and handed the cup to Haley and Ian, "This is the coffee I brewed this morning, I just reheated it. If I make a new one temporarily, I guess when it is ready, Both of you are leaving."

Haili, who hadn't opened his mouth all this time, smiled, took a coffee cup and sniffed it through his nose, "Well, although it's not the best coffee, it should be brewed at just the right time, and the taste should be good."

"Thank you... Should I stay here, or should I go back to my room?" Hunter asked uncertainly.

"These federal agents are asking me what happened to the issue card that was given to your sister, and I think you have a right to know the answer."

Shemer patted the seat beside him and motioned for Hunter to sit down.

But Hunter still chose to sit beside Ian.

"Well... the taste of coffee is really good, what do you think, Ian?" Haili's tongue slid across the line of his lips.

Ian had long since lost his sense of the sexy moves he could make, but Hunter on the side couldn't help but be attracted.

Sure enough, he was too young, but he couldn't see through Haili's essence.

"I don't do research on coffee. I just want to know where the hell the card comes from. Shemer, you're wasting our time."

"I took the hairpin from Dr. Mende's room. Are you going to sue me for theft?" Schaemer shrugged.

"What drove you to take that issue card?"

Shemer smiled, "Mr. Detective, there is nothing for a reason. I just had a temporary idea. I want to be with Hunter, so I have to have a good relationship with his family. It just so happens that his sister is right I am very fond of it, and the hairpin looks exquisite in workmanship, it should not be cheap. I guess that hairpin should be left there by a female student. I am not sure how much the hairpin is worth, if you want to arrest me Go, then grab me and go!"

Shemer stretched out his hands, and waited for Ian to handcuff him with a look of indifference.

"I really want to believe you, but the truth is that I can't believe you." Ian sat where he was, raised his hand and glanced at his text message, "My friend in the lab told me just now, when you sent Gordon A small amount of DNA belonging to Joanna, one of the victims of the series of cases we investigated, was found on the lady's hairpin. This hairpin belongs to Joanna."

Ian looked at Shemer, his eyes still had a smile indifferent to everything.In this kind of smile, there is disregard for life and indifference to social morality.Ian was almost certain that he was Dr. Mende's assistant.

"So this only proves that Dr. Mende had something to do with that Joanna's murder, not me. And you guys should thank me if I hadn't stolen the victim's hairpin from him and put it in Hunter's sister's hair , Let you see that you haven't been able to find direct evidence related to Dr. Mende's murder, have you?" Shemer had a smug smile on his face, "So I should be a witness, not your suspect. "

This guy just wants to pass all the suspicions on to Dr. Mende.All of this is Schermer's plan.

Maybe he sensed that the FBI was getting closer to the truth, or maybe he was tired of playing this game, and now he just needed to push Dr. Mende to take it all.

At this moment, Ian said slowly, "Hunter, your reaction also surprised me. Now you know that Shemer is likely to be involved in the murder of your father and sister, but you can still be so calm sit here?"

Hunter bowed his head, shrugged his shoulders and laughed.He slowly raised his head and looked at Hailey.

"Agent Russell, haven't you always been good at reading other people's minds? Now, can you read mine?"

Ian put his hand on the gun on his waist, but Hunter beside him pressed his hand, "Don't be so excited, Agent Connor. You are a good person, so I decided to give you some money to be a good person." rewards that give you the opportunity to learn what the truth of the matter is."

Hailey put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked at Hunter indifferently.Everything seemed to be a dialogue between the two of them.

"Dr. Meghan 15 years ago was for research, so he created a unique 'murder method'. Dr. Mende, as his student and deputy, continued all this. They are all for 'research' , even obsessed with how humans respond in life-threatening situations, they are addicted. But you are different, Hunter. Knowing that Dr. Mende was one of the murderers of your mother, you still couldn't help but joined his research Plan, you are for proof."

"Prove what?" Hunter crossed his legs, one hand still clasping Ian's wrist tightly.

Normally, Ian could break free from Hunter easily, but at this moment... he found that his head was dizzy, his body couldn't use his strength, and he couldn't judge the normal distance from things.It was like the gun on his waist. Although Hunter held his right hand, he could obviously pull out the gun with his left hand, but he still couldn't touch the handle of the gun.

"Hunter...what did you put in your coffee..."

"Don't worry, Agent Connor. Rather than using electric shocks in such a drastic way, I prefer to let you sleep well and enjoy the feeling of not thinking about anything. You have been stretching yourself too tight, and it's time to relax It's time to take a break." Hunter looked at Hailey with a smile, "Agent Russell, please continue your analysis of me. You said that I joined Mende's 'research project' to prove it. Then I think What is the proof?"

"Prove that under such circumstances, is it true that someone will choose to kill himself and leave the chance of survival to others."

"Oh, so you mean I'm still suspecting that my father killed my mother, but pretending it was my mother's suicide?"

"No, you are just bored and rebellious about the past cases. Because people have been telling you how great your mother is since you were a child. She loved your father so much that she chose to kill herself to keep the chance of living To your father. And your father lives with guilt for your mother. Your neighbors, your classmates, and even your sister regard your mother as a saint. You find it strange that a person who abandons his children Why is the woman who wants to die praised by so many people? Whenever you see or hear someone talking about her, you want to tear their face off and gag their mouths. It is because of the guilt of your father that forced you He was also forced to bear his guilt while growing up. In fact, you have long wanted to forget all this and live your own life as a normal person as if nothing happened. But the choice your mother made 15 years ago ruined it. All your life. Right, Hunter?"
