Profiler 3: Crime Ends

Chapter 26 Death Puzzle

Blanco said, "You mean... Mrs. Dassault?"

Jiao Yang nodded and said: "The deceased suffered from a severe respiratory disease, which was highly contagious, and most people would not choose to stay overnight at his home.

Just like when a wife is killed in an American TV series, the husband is first suspected,? Sometimes the opposite is also true.The deceased had been bedridden for many years. His wife may have been tired of the tedious care day after day, so she had a motive for killing. "

"I think so too,? But the evidence is lacking right now."

Blanco said: "We want to talk to Mrs. Dassant. Hugo,? Do you want to go together?"

"Okay!"

Jiao Yang laughed and said, "However,? I think you should check the trash cans near his house first to see if you can find the gasoline cans that were used at that time!"

Jiao Yang, Blanco and others came to Daxent's residence, which was in a row of staff dormitories at the corner of the school.

Blanco's colleague stepped forward to ring the doorbell. The bell rang for a long time before a well-dressed old lady came out.

She was wearing a bronze wide-brimmed hat, a light gray woolen coat, a beige towel skirt, and a pair of brown boots. She just looked haggard and sad.

Blanco stepped forward to introduce himself as usual, "I am Sergeant Blanco of the State Police Department,? Regarding the unfortunate death of your husband Daxente, I would like to know something from you."

A trace of nervousness flashed across Mrs. Dassant's not-so-well-maintained face, "Okay, those police officers, please come in."

Blanco sat down, looked around and said, "What were you doing on the night of the incident? Where were you? Are you with your husband?"

"not together."

Mrs. Dussett paused and said, "We had a big fight at dinner. Then,? He slammed the door and went out..."

Blanco followed closely and said, "Why are you arguing?"

"Actually, it's just a trivial matter. He thinks my food is too hard."

Mrs. Dassant said: "His teeth have not been very good in recent years, and he doesn't like to eat hard things."

Blanco nodded and said, "Then what clothes and shoes did your husband wear when he went out, do you remember?"

"I, I don't remember..."

"I was also very angry at the time and went to the balcony by myself," Mrs Dassault said.

Blanco said: "What happened after that? Did you try to go out to find your husband?"

Mrs. Dassault hesitated for a moment, and said: "Yes... yes. I came out from the window sill, put on my coat, and chased him out with the key, but I couldn't find him. I went to my daughter's house in a fit of anger..."

"Ok?"

Blanco suddenly interrupted: "When our colleague came to ask, you didn't mention that you went out that night. How long did you stay at your daughter's house?"

"I, I was so sad that day, I didn't remember it for a while."

"It was late at night and the kids wouldn't let me come back," Mrs Dussett said.

"So you mean,"

Blanco asked, "You weren't at home the night your husband disappeared, were you?"

Mrs. Dussant trembled: "Yes, yes."

When Jiao Yang heard this, he felt that there was no need to continue asking.The old lady's statement was obviously different from what was recorded at the police station.The incident happened only three or four days ago, so she couldn't remember what happened so quickly, and it was a matter of her husband's life or death, unless she had Alzheimer's.

Jiao Yang began to look around in this small house.

Because Mrs. Dassant had mentioned the balcony twice, he went to the balcony.

Mrs. Dassant was answering Blanco's next question, and suddenly looked towards the balcony unconsciously.

Jiao Yang looked around on the balcony, but found nothing special.He retreated to the door again, and found that according to the arrangement and order of the flowers and trees on the balcony, it seemed that a pot of flowers was missing.

Jiao Yang walked around the room again, and finally came to the kitchen.He suddenly saw a pot of flowers on the window sill in the kitchen.And the flower is not a flower pot, but a large tin beverage bucket.

Unlike the oil-stained kitchen wall tiles next to it, this small area on the window sill looks clean and new.

Jiao Yang paused, walked straight over, and smelled a faint smell of gasoline.

"Branko."

Jiao Yang smiled and said, "Please ask Mrs. Dassant to explain why you plant the flowers in gasoline barrels."

"I……"

Mrs. Dassault turned pale when she saw the tin bucket Jiao Yang took out.

Seeing Mrs. Dassant's reaction, Blanco removed the bottom of the tin bucket with pliers, and some flower soil, a pair of blackened gloves and a hemp rope fell out from it.

And the leather handles at both ends of this hemp rope have the school's mark, which should be used by Daxent in his work.It should be because he was afraid of being left on the body and his identity would be discovered by others, so he was temporarily put away, and he was not thrown into the fire together.

Blanc asked his colleagues to put away the evidence at the scene, then turned to Mrs. Dassant and said, "Excuse me, please accompany us to the police station again."

After testing, Daxent's skin tissue fibers were found in many places on the hemp rope, which should be left when the body was bound and thrown.Soon other evidence surfaced one by one.

The police did not find the surveillance video of Mrs. Dassent's entry and exit on the night of the incident in the community where Dassant's daughter lived.The police questioned Dassant's daughter and son-in-law separately.Both initially stated that Mrs. Dussett did come to their home on the day of the murder.Their five-year-old daughter gave the opposite answer.

After a little cross-examination of the two, the answers began to be full of mistakes and contradictions.In the end, the two had to admit that they had to accept their mother's plea and agree to lie to the police for her.On the day of the incident, she had not been to their home.

At the same time, the neighbors upstairs and downstairs of Dassant said that they did not hear the quarrel on the day of the incident, but they all smelled a smell of gas.

In the face of the evidence, Mrs. Dassant had to admit that after caring for her husband for many years, there was no sign of any improvement.Because of Dusent's infectious disease, she had to bear the eyes of relatives, friends, neighbors and colleagues.The five-year-old granddaughter is the treasure in her heart, but her daughter dare not even let her hug the child.

And she was becoming more and more afraid that Saint's disease would infect her, so that day she pushed her husband in a wheelchair into the kitchen, turned on the gas, and closed the doors and windows...

The oak forest burning case was quickly solved.Jiao Yang felt a little more relaxed.In the evening, he changed his clothes, picked out two bottles of better red wine, bought a bouquet of flowers, and went to Lu Yuanli's villa.

Lu Yuanli heard the doorbell, came down to open the door, stood at the door and sized him up, "Are you going to have a wedding?"

"Come to see my dear, shouldn't you dress a little more formally?"

Jiao Yang showed him the red wine in his hand, and said with a smile, "Do you want to cook at home with me, or should we go out to eat?"

Lu Yuanli said, "I can choose three, can I eat at home alone?"

"Of course...you can't!"

Jiao Yang grabbed his wrist and said, "I've solved the case, don't you want to celebrate with me?!"

Lu Yuanli said: "Will it affect your promotion and salary increase? Even if this case can't be solved, what does it have to do with you?"

Jiao Yang said seriously: "You can't say that. Every abnormal death of a life should be taken seriously."

"It seems that there is another person who has not been taken seriously?"

Lu Yuanli said, "Is Eric's case solved? You came to celebrate with me?"

"Then, then reward me!"

Jiao Yang put his arms around Lu Yuanli, leaned into his ear and said, "Even if you just encourage me a little, maybe I can solve the case soon!"

Lu Yuanli said, "I didn't issue your certificate of good citizen. What's none of my business?"

Jiao Yang made a funny gesture, as if he was wearing an old Northeast padded jacket, "Professor Lu, what about the promise to fight crime full-time? It turns out that these are all deceptive advertisements. The tuition is still so expensive, so get your money back!"

Lu Yuanli raised his chin and said, "If I remember correctly, you are a student with a full scholarship, right? Even the dormitory application is free. What do you want to refund?"

"that……"

Jiao Yang put the things in his hand on the stairs in the hallway, and regardless of Sanqi 21, he hugged him abruptly and said: "Our country's "New Marriage Law" stipulates that divorce and refund of bride price are supported!"

Lu Yuanli subconsciously nodded his head on Jiao Yang's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Aren't you the one who said you couldn't afford the bride price?"

"Ah."

Jiao Yang said solemnly: "I cheated on the marriage, you should call the police and arrest me now!"

Lu Yuanli raised his head, looked at him and said, "Then, are you going to twist yourself back?"

"Completely correct!"

Jiao Yang nodded again and again, "So, can I come in now?"

Lu Yuanli smiled, let go of him, turned and walked in.

Jiao Yang walked in, changed his clothes and washed his hands, and then went into the kitchen to make dinner.

California is rich in red grapes, so the wine that Jiao Yang brought this time is made from local red grapes.

In addition to the regular fried steak, there are also local specialty oysters and American crabs, as well as fresh tuna.

Jiao Yang first cut the tuna into thick slices and spread them on ice as sashimi for later use.Then, he made a local beet salad.Huge American crab is steamed, and oysters are fried with steak.

Listening to the various sounds of frying and frying in the kitchen, Lu Yuanli sat in the small living room where he could directly see the kitchen and flipped through the cases.

You see, the food is made by others, the case is solved by them themselves, and even the public rations are paid by them on their own initiative.What's your dissatisfaction?

Lu Yuanli couldn't help but think, for a guy like you who can't cook, doesn't want to study, doesn't bother to go out to eat, and thinks the taste has been lost when ordering takeaway, do you want to find someone more suitable than him?

The Chinese saying "When the water is clear, there will be no fish" is still very wise in life.Um……

Half an hour later, Lu Yuanli wandered into the kitchen for the second time, grabbed the door frame and asked, "When can we have dinner?"

Our professor Lu has always looked like a mountain collapsed in front of us without changing his face.He occasionally rolls his eyes back and forth, staring at you expectantly, like a ragdoll waiting to be fed.Yes, and only when waiting to be fed, has this look.As for what to feed, it's not necessarily...

Jiao Yang took a spoon and knocked on the electric baking pan that was bubbling oil in front of him, gestured exaggeratedly to the two steaks inside, and a dozen oysters that had been pried out and sprinkled with garlic, "Now you admit your mistake to me and say you Make trouble for no reason, and I promise that I will never dare to do it again next time."
