At that moment, Haili looked at himself persistently, and his mouth said "look at me".

The biggest illusion in Ian's life is at this moment, he thought that he would really watch him forever.

"Ian, you said that when we hug, will our scars just stick together?"

"No." Ian got up decisively, and said to Haili who was still in the water, "Either you stay here until your hair is soaked. Or put on a suit and ask about the relationships around Lena."

"Why? Ask your parents first?"

Ian shook his head with a smile, "If you fell in love with someone, would you go back and tell your parents?"

"No. And my parents have been dead for a long time." Haley smiled indifferently, "So you are going to chat with Lena's friends? I want to know if she has revealed who she likes such as?"

But the results of the investigation disappointed Ian.

Lina is a child who is very good at hiding her thoughts. She is excellent in character and learning, with almost no shortcomings, and it is not heard that she has ever been attracted to anyone of her age.And among the boys in the town, almost no one has better swimming skills than her.

"Maybe she has some secret lover? Like the coach of the swimming pool? I heard that he taught Lena to swim in this small town for six years." Hailey said jokingly.

"The coach of the swimming pool? He is 45 years old. He is bald, has a beer belly, and has a slightly irritable personality. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't seem like the object of love for a girl of Lina's age."

Or the method of killing was correct, but the direction of the investigation was deviated due to Haili's subjective feeling.

For example, this person doesn't have to be Lina's admiration, as long as it is a relative or friend she trusts?

"What about the surveillance video? I think we need to investigate the surveillance video around the swimming pool. Who are the suspects who appeared around the swimming pool during the period of Lina's death?"

"Hmm..." Haili raised his head and pondered for a while, "There are not many places in the town with surveillance video. For example, the intersection and the bank diagonally opposite the swimming pool. I don't know if their angles can be used to shoot. To the entrance of the swimming pool. But... believe me this is going to be a big project."

"The time of Lina's death must not be when there are still people in the swimming pool. And what we are looking for is not the people who entered the swimming pool, but the people who left."

"Well, I'm not going to stare at the screen. The intersection and bank cameras should be digitized, just send them to the forensics specialist."

Ian didn't speak, just looked at Haili's lazy look.

"Hey, Uncle Ian, don't look at me like that. I pay a lot of taxes! I just want to exercise my taxpayer rights!"

Ian turned around, "Let's go, we have to go to Lena's house."

Lena lost her mother since she was a child, and was with her father and brother.This is a swimming family. First of all, her father was the swimming coach of the school, and her brother was admitted to a university in Boston because of his excellent swimming performance.

When Ian chatted with Lena's father, Hailey said he wanted to see Lena's room.Ian didn't stop Hailey, because he obviously didn't have the slightest interest in chatting with the victim's family. He was better at understanding the victim than collecting hard evidence and clues.

So far, Lena's father still cannot accept the death of his daughter.

"Excuse me, does Lena have any close companions in the town? Or men of the same age who she has a crush on?"

"...Lena is not the kind of girl who can get along well with anyone. As for having a crush on a certain man, if her mother is still alive, she should be willing to reveal a little bit. But I am a single father, I My daughter hardly ever talks to me about it..."

"So, she has never had a good friend?"

"...Two or three years ago, she would go to play in the woods with some children, but I can't remember when Lena became alone..."

"Some kids? Who exactly?"

"Eh... Anne, Allen, Edward, and Lucia!"

"Anne and Ellen? Do you mean the two murdered children?"

"Yes, I don't know who would do such a cruel thing. Compared with Annie and Allen, the only thing I feel lucky is that Lena is at least not as painful as them..." Lena's father pressed stuck on his forehead.

"Then what about Edward and Lucia? They are all children in the town? Didn't Lena mention any reason why she is no longer close to those children?"

Ian had a hunch that although Lena, Anne and Allen died in very different ways, and even the degree of pain was different, there must be something linking them together.

"I guess it's because of Lucia." Lina's father sighed. "Lucia is the adopted daughter of the Camporam family."

"Camporam? You mean the richest man in the town and the oldest family, Camporam?"

The large area of ​​roses in the forest and the old house belonged to the Camporam family.

"Yes, that's right. I still remember Lucia's smile, sweet and innocent. Lina often played with Lucia. Until one day Lucia drowned and died."

"What did you say? Lucia drowned? Where? For what?"

"Lucia Dalina was three years old, and she took the children to play around like a sister. There was a lake in the woods, where the children often rowed. The boat was left by Lucia's brother Lawrence. Once the child When they were rowing to the middle of the lake, the boat capsized. Lucia jumped into the water to save the children and never came back. Lena hadn't seen the children since Lucia's funeral. I guess it was because Being with them reminds Lena of Lucia... she must be guilty..."

Ian frowned, "Wait, that's not right. Lena, Allen, and Anne all know how to swim. Even three years ago, I believe their swimming skills were not bad!"

"It's Annie. She had a cramp in the water, and no one noticed that she was joking. Only Lucia jumped to save her. But Annie turned around after being put on the boat by Lucia, and found that Lucia had sunk. Maybe it was caught by the water plants, or for some other reason... Lucia didn't come back. The lake was too deep, and the children didn't dare to dive in rashly... When people were found, only Lucia's body was salvaged. This This incident is a great blow to the Camporam family. The couple have always wanted a daughter, so they have devoted a lot of effort to Lucia."

"What about Edward? He was there that day. Did Lena and Edward stop seeing each other?"

Except for Edward, the three teenagers involved in Lucia's drowning incident that day were all dead. There must be some secret behind Lucia's death.

This Edward might be the only witness to Lucia's drowning.

"Edward suffered from depression after that incident. He didn't talk to anyone and shut himself in the room all day long. His parents had no choice but to send him to a mental hospital in the city. Six months ago, Edward committed suicide."

Ian nodded disappointedly.

In other words, all the children who witnessed Lucia's drowning are now dead.

There are no coincidences in this world.Not to mention that so many cases have even been played in movies and TV shows. Maybe someone is avenging Lucia?

Ian took a deep breath and went upstairs to Lena's room.

As soon as he entered the door, he suddenly saw Haili sitting in front of Lena's dressing table, with nothing in his eyes.

"Oh, it won't come again!" Ian was about to step forward to pat Haili, but Haili turned his head and winked at Ian.

"You think I'm falling into victim hallucinations again? Come on, if I can get into that state anytime, anywhere, I'm not a fed agent, I'm a psychopath."

After speaking, Haili got up and said goodbye to Lena's father.

The two returned to the car, and Ian asked Haley, "What did you find?"

"Why don't you tell me what clues you got from Lena's father?"

Ian told about Lucia's death three years ago.

"So next, we're going to visit Camporam, a prominent family in the town."

"You've been in Lena's room for so long, and you don't have any other thoughts?" Ian asked with a frown.

"Remember when I said that the one who killed Lena must be someone Lena trusted or at least longed to trust?" Hailey took out a cufflink from his pocket and threw it to Ian.

"what is this?"

"Found it in Lena's makeup box. These cufflinks are a bit outdated, probably from a few years ago."

"Wait? You stole from the victim's room?"

"The so-called victim of yours is dead. She wouldn't care if I took her buttons or coins from her desk. Could you please take a closer look at this cuff?"

Hailey had a leisurely expression, and Ian resisted the urge to beat him up, and focused his eyes on this button.

This is obviously a custom-made button, with fine workmanship and aesthetic design, and the letter "C" on the button made Ian pause.

"This button belongs to the Camporam family?"

"Yes. And a male button. So it either belonged to Mr. Camporam, or it belonged to their son Lawrence."

Lawrence Camporam... Ian still remembers the first time he and Hayley came to the ruins of Camporam's house, saw the blooming white roses, and the first person they met belonged to the town That's Lawrence Camporam.A boy in his early twenties, handsome and self-cultivated.

"You remember Lawrence Camporam? He was like Prince Charming to all the girls in this town? Lena kept his buttons to this day. Although she was silent, she couldn't help herself." fall under the charm of the little prince."

"You now suspect that it was Lawrence Camporam who killed Lena in the swimming pool?"

"Why can't you doubt? Doubt doesn't need evidence. Evidence is found because of doubt. Let's go to Camporam's house together?"

"As long as you promise not to suddenly lose your nerve at the Camporam's house."

"I promise not."
