Profiler 3: Crime Ends

"Officer, why are you asking this? Are you suspicious of me?"

Will smiled bitterly and said, "Now my mother and I take turns taking leave during the day to take care of my father. I have been staying in the hospital, and the nurses in my father's ward can testify for me. By four or five o'clock in the afternoon,? I don't have a specific Looking at the time,? Because I was too tired after working for several days,? I fell asleep sitting on the chair next to the hospital bed without knowing it. I was awakened by the ringing of the phone just now,? I heard that my brother Greg had an accident,? Just Came here in a hurry."

Blanc nodded and said, "Okay,? We'll go to the hospital again for verification."

Blanco sent two subordinates to the property to retrieve the surveillance video.

But he asked carefully, and there is a camera at the front and back doors of the property.In the community, there are only public areas with large traffic such as flower beds and promenades, and other cameras are installed.Because this is a middle-class community, residents pay more attention to privacy, and there are no cameras in the corridors and elevators.In other words, there are many blind spots in this monitoring, and it is very likely that the murderer cannot be photographed.

Everyone returned to the police station together to discuss the case.

Deputy Sheriff Ryan said: "According to Mrs. Gonzalez's statement, her total property damage exceeded 5000 US dollars. Based on the current evidence, it looks like a robbery. When the murderer entered the scene and flipped, he alerted the victim. Both the murderer and the victim were unprepared. The murderer picked up the round stool in the victim's room and smashed it hard on his head, causing the victim's serious injuries and death."

"That's how it looks at the moment, do you guys have any other comments?" Blanco said.

Jiao Yang said: "I don't think it's like robbers robbing and wounding people to death. The victim and the murderer probably knew each other. The loss of property at the scene may be just a fabrication to cover up the fact that the murderer was looking for something."

Blanco paused, "Where's the evidence?"

Jiao Yang said: "The doors and windows at the scene are all intact,? There is no trace of damage. It seems to use a key to enter normally."

Blanco said: "However, if the murderer uses tools such as master keys, he can also enter the victim's residence without unlocking the door."

"That's right."

Jiao Yang said: "However, you may not have noticed that there is a detail at the scene."

Blanco asked in surprise, "What details?"

Jiao Yang paused and said: "There is a deep scratch on the victim's notebook. This kind of mark is usually caused by an accident when he was writing, and he suddenly lost his hand. In other words, it is very likely that the cause of this mark is , the victim was writing at the time, and was suddenly hit on the head with a heavy object by the murderer. There are three bedrooms in this house, and the victim is in the innermost one.

If the murderer is a stranger, after entering the room, the victim should get up and check immediately at home.Instead of waiting for the murderer to mess up the master bedroom, come to his own room, and be suddenly hit by a heavy object.According to the location of the deceased and traces at the scene, he was sitting at a desk and writing, which ruled out the possibility that he was sleeping at that time.Unless the deceased was severely hearing-impaired, this doesn't quite make sense. "

Blanco pondered: "Sounds reasonable, but people are generally sleepy in the afternoon. We can't rule out that the traces on the notebook were accidentally made by the deceased when he dozed off."

Ryan said: "I have another question. The deceased's mother and elder brother are both taking care of his father in the hospital. Why is the deceased alone at home?"

Blanco said: "According to the testimony of Mrs. Gonzalez and his eldest son Will, the three of them took turns to take care of Mr. Gonzalez. The younger son was about to prepare for the entrance exam again. So their younger son stayed in the Review homework at home and go to the hospital to accompany Mr. Gonzalez at night."

"So it is."

Ryan said with a smile: "The younger son who does not have a job is not allowed to take care of him, but the elder son who has a job is allowed to take time off during the day. This pair of parents is really partial..."

Before Ryan could finish his sentence, Blanco's cell phone buzzed and vibrated.

Blanco picked up the phone, subconsciously looked at Lu Yuanli after saying a few words.

Blanco promised twice, hung up the phone and said, "Gentlemen, let's stop discussing here for now, I think we can check the monitoring first, then go to the hospital, find a few more people to ask about the situation, and then summarize the case. "

After the meeting, when his colleagues left, Blanco called Lu Yuanli and Jiao Yang to stop him with some embarrassment.He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, Professor Lu. The victim's full name is Tres Jefferson Gonzalez, and Greg is just his family's nickname. You may want to avoid this case."

"What does it mean?"

Jiao Yang frowned and said, "You mean, the deceased is the Tres who threatened him online? Then what does this person's death have to do with him? He has been attending classes at school in the afternoon, so many people can testify! "

Blanco looked at Lu Yuanli helplessly, and said to Jiao Yang: "But we all know that with Professor Lu's family status, he doesn't need to do anything himself? Because he is a stakeholder, and now he can only avoid it. That's what our bosses meant."

"What's at stake?"

Jiao Yang said angrily: "It is very clear now that Tres was fired by the company due to the impact of the epidemic, and was forced to take the postgraduate entrance examination again because of the impact of the epidemic. In a depressed mood, he vented his emotions on the Internet and did those irrational things. Something. There was no bullet in Trace's gun that day, and there was no real threat to Lu Yuanli at all.

How could he want to hurt Tres?You also said, with his family situation, what does he really want to do? He can't afford to hire two professional killers, and he wants to find a novice who can't cook anymore to kill with a round stool? ! "

Blanco sighed: "I also think this is ridiculous, but there is no way, a system is a system..."

"Speaking of the system... I am also a policeman, and the principle of avoidance is not used in this way!"

Jiao Yang wanted to say more, but Lu Yuanli reached out to stop him and said, "It's nothing, I was originally a member of the CBI's expert team, not yours. In essence, I am just a non-staff in this case. Alright, Jiao Yang, let's go." .”

It was already past 10:00 in the evening, and the two went to Juanzi's shop for a quick meal, and then went back.

Lu Yuanli looked normal, but Jiao Yang knew that he was not in a good mood.There was no other way. In the eyes of the police, Lu Yuanli was already one of the suspects in this case.If it were someone who was regarded as the mastermind behind the murder case, the mood would naturally not be good.

Jiao Yang hugged him and said, "I will find out the truth as soon as possible, you don't have to worry."

Lu Yuanli turned his head to look at him, and reached out to touch Jiao Yang's face, "Don't be so confident, Mr. Police Officer, don't forget that you have also been 'avoided' now, and you can't get in touch with everything related to the case."

"Why should I avoid it?"

Jiao Yang hooked his neck and said, "You are just my mentor, and we are not married."

Lu Yuanli raised his eyebrows and said, "So you've been refusing to marry me all this time because of this day?"

"It's heartless for you to say that."

Jiao Yang said: "I have been in country M for several months, and your father refuses to see me. I can't find a way to ask for a marriage, so that means I refuse to marry you?"

"Yes."

Lu Yuanli nodded, and said lazily: "If there must be one person who is wrong between the two of us, that person must be you. If I am wrong, refer to the previous article. Don't forget, this is what you promised me. of."

"of course."

These are all the promises he made all over the place when he was chasing after people with no skin or face.However, he turned around later, from a slave to a general. It's probably nothing to say. Recently, Lu Yuanli usually accommodates him.Jiao Yang also admitted that he might really be a dog man.But don't delay his keeping his promise.Especially in country M, Lu Yuanli bullied others, and every time he tried to bully him, it was like scratching his itch with a small brush. He still liked it.

Jiao Yang lowered his head and rubbed the tip of his nose, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Seriously, when can we go to your house?"

"It might have been okay before, but now you don't have to think about it."

Lu Yuanli sighed and said, "You forgot that I used his media to promote the boy scouts' sexual/aggression? Don't talk about you, I'm about to be kicked out of the house."

"Don't be so sad, baby!"

Jiao Yang smiled and kissed his ear, "They all said I raised you."

Lu Yuanli said disdainfully: "It is said that I have seen through the fact that your baby is only worth 2 yuan and 5 dollars, so don't expect to deceive me with this sweet talk!"

"Is that so..."

Jiao Yang rubbed his chin, "Then let's change the subject, just... the horse/shock last time, you still owe me, when will you pay it back?!"

Lu Yuanli raised his eyebrows and said, "When did I promise you?"

"Didn't you agree?"

Jiao Yang thought about it and said: "I remember that we had just reached an agreement before Kevin called. It's okay, don't worry about these details, it's not too late to agree now!"

As Jiao Yang said, he bent down to pick him up, and went up the stairs.

They were already on the third floor, and Lu Yuanli didn't know where Jiao Yang was taking him, so he just looked at him calmly and didn't make a sound.

Passing the wine cabinet between the stairs on the 3rd and 4th floors, Jiao Yang raised his knees, touched a bottle of red wine, grabbed two wine glasses, and stuffed them all for Lu Yuanli.

Lu Yuanli was hugging his neck, so he had no choice but to risk letting go of him, and hurriedly hugged the red wine and the glass.

Jiao Yang carried Lu Yuanli up to the rooftop on the 4th floor.

On the roof is a small garden with common local flowers, a huge white sun umbrella and two deck chairs, overlooking the entire campus of the University of California.Looking forward, there is a sea of ​​purple Jacaranda flowers.This feeling is very luxurious and comfortable, and it seems to be no worse than a vacation somewhere in the Hawaiian Islands.

Although it was almost early in the morning, at the beginning of midsummer, I only felt the cool breeze, and it was not cold.

Seeing the stars twinkling in the sky, Jiao Yang took the red wine to look at it, took off the key chain on his belt, and opened the red wine.

Lu Yuanli said, "I thought you were going to bite it open with your teeth."

Jiao Yang poured two glasses of red wine, handed one to Lu Yuanli, took out a cigarette and lit it, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke rings: "Your man is just a bit of a dog, not Biao."

"Aren't you brave?"

Lu Yuanli turned around, put his arms on the recliner, looked at him and smiled, "On our first day here, at the airport, who handed over all the police's guns?"
