[Comprehensive crime] The name of the murderer

"It's useful to say something. It may take me a while to adopt you, because the laws in the United States are more complicated. They stipulate that married couples are eligible for adoption, so—" Shen Ming said, "I originally wanted my assistant to find you as soon as possible. Personally married—”

Tang Sisi interrupted him with a look of astonishment: "Hey! Does your assistant owe you a life? Why did he torture himself like this?"

However, Shen Ming took it for granted: "Probably because I said that I would sponsor his wedding with 100 million pounds."

Tang Sisi's face changed instantly: "Well, can you give me the contact information of your assistant? Because we have both been your assistants, we may have a common language..."

Shen Ming squinted at her, and put away the power of attorney that had already been signed: "But then I found out that adoptions are not allowed under three years of marriage age, so this way doesn't work. Since you know you're joking, you should be fine. Note Stop talking nonsense to the police when I'm not around."

Then Shen Ming got up, knocked on the door of the interrogation room, and Sarah and Russell, who had been guarding outside all the time, came in.

Shen Ming: "My client and I have finished talking, and she does not accept your allegations."

Sarah: "We didn't accuse her, we just wanted to know from her why she knew the location of Little Allen."

Shen Ming glanced at Tang Sisi: "She said she didn't remember."

Sarah frowned: "Is she willing to communicate with you?"

Shen Ming shrugged: "Why not? Don't you think she's a bit talkative? By the way, I heard that you haven't found a neutral third party who is willing to accommodate Vivienne, so she can stay in a hotel with me during the investigation. In addition, I can also afford the accommodation of an accompanying policeman, so there will be no procedural problems, right?"

Russell observed Ely who broke into the case suddenly. He had already investigated the resume of this French lawyer, and knew that Shen Ming had never set foot on American territory before, and he had nothing to do with this orphanage in Las Vegas. It was even impossible. Meet Vivienne... so why on earth is this lawyer suddenly appearing here?Even on the premise of nothing in return, are you willing to spend so much time and money for Vivienne?

Russell: "There is no problem in the procedure. She can stay in the hotel if she is accompanied by the police. But I still don't understand how Mr. Ely knew Vivian. As far as I know, she just called you by mistake. And you're a financial lawyer, right? Litigation like this isn't your job."

"Well, maybe it's because my company's employee benefits are really good." Shen Ming gave him an inexplicable answer.

Although the police refused to provide unconfirmed information, the family who had been "tempted" by Vivienne and the supermarket that had been "stolen" did not mind to stand up and make her black history public. Enough for the media to do a special topic.

This case has been rendered complicated and weird by the media, and all clues point to Vivienne.

Nick sent away Shen Ming, Vivian and a policewoman, and came back to report to Russell.

"That lawyer has already taken Vivian away. He came to LV all the way to represent a strange little girl's case? Do you know his motive?"

"I don't know, but I have asked someone to do an in-depth investigation of his background. He is from a civilian family and has outstanding talents. He graduated from a top law school in the UK and is now a top financial lawyer in Europe. He has never represented a criminal case before, and there is nothing suspicious about it. .I think we'll just focus on the case."

Russell beckoned Nick to come closer to him: "I studied the accidental death rate among children according to UNICEF's statistics."

Nick pulled a chair and sat across from him: "Haven't we checked the accidental death data? Drowning is the number one cause of accidental death among children, and many children die from it every year. According to percentage statistics, St. Xiu'an Orphanage Not only is the child mortality rate within the normal range, it is even lower than the average figure, and they are doing a good job in terms of safety."

"That's right, that's right Nick, the drowning death rate in St. Xiu'an Orphanage is indeed lower than the average figure." Russell took a slow breath, and turned the report to the back. It was a death statistics chart he had hand-drawn, "This The distribution of accidental mortality, mode of death, and age of death in the orphanage is normal, but there is a problem, Nick, what are the symptoms of child drowning that you should remember."

This is the necessary knowledge for criminal investigation, of course Nick knows.

Nick replied decisively: "Short-term drowning may cause respiratory and lung infections. Prolonged drowning will lead to shock, cardiac arrest, hypoxemia, kidney failure, and irreversible brain damage. The most serious consequence is death."

"Very good, you can look at this again." Russell opened the file bag next to it, which contained the medical records of children from St. Xiu'an Orphanage.

After Russell's instruction, when Nick browsed the record again, he had doubts in his heart. After a few glances, he suddenly raised his head and asked a question.

"Are there only a few cases of brain injury rehabilitation in St. Xiu'an Orphanage?"

In any case, death is a small probability event, and drowning is not so easy to die - most of them are alive and kicking after coughing up a few sips of water, a small number of people will leave sequelae, and even a smaller number of people will die.And because children's brains are not fully developed, the probability of brain damage after drowning is higher, so professional rehabilitation treatment is necessary.

According to the probability, there must be more children who have undergone brain injury rehabilitation in St. Xiu'an Orphanage than children who drowned. However, the fact is the opposite.

"No, you can't... right." Nick clenched his fist against his lips, showing a horrified expression.According to the statistics of UNICEF, he quickly estimated the theoretical death toll corresponding to the number of rehabilitation people in St. Xiu'an Orphanage, and then subtracted it from the real death toll. As a result, three to four more children died every year!

Russell leaned back on the back of the chair and looked up at the ceiling: "The safety measures in this orphanage are very complete, and their accidental child death rate is really low, which is lower than what is reported to the government, so that some unsightly There's something hidden under the average. Nick, this orphanage isn't that simple."

----

"devil!"

"witch!"

"She should be purified!"

Reporters and demonstrators crowded the way out of the police station, completely surrounding Shen Ming's rented car locally.

Tang Sisi sat in the back seat with the policewoman, observing the ferocious faces of the crowd through the glass, as if she had already confirmed her identity as a witch without being judged.If this were the Middle Ages, she had no doubt that she would be dragged out of the car and burned at the stake.

Fortunately, it's not the Middle Ages here, um... Even in the Middle Ages, no one could drag her out of Shen Ming's car.

Someone from the volunteer group of the orphanage in the back became enraged, picked up a stone and threw it at Shen Ming's car, and then the stone landed in a strange arc on the camera that was facing Tang Sisi's face, smashing the expensive camera to pieces.The second and third stones followed closely, but repeatedly hit the teammates in front of them. The demonstrators became restless and began to curse at each other.

Taking advantage of their internal turmoil, Shen Ming drove the car onto the highway.

According to the plan, they had to go back to the orphanage to get Vivienne's personal belongings before going to the hotel.

The crime laboratory is conducting a second survey of the scene. There are children walking in twos and threes in the orphanage. When everyone sees Tang Sisi, they whisper to each other and run away, apparently frightened by the rumors circulating outside.

Vivienne's personal belongings are not many, a small bag can be filled, but in the process of sorting, a rusty key fell out of Vivienne's pencil case.

Tang Sisi's face was startled, when she was arranging the painting tools during the day, she definitely didn't see this thing!Someone must have slipped this key into her pencil case after she left!

With her toes, she knew that this must be framed, but before Tang Sisi picked up the key, the vigilant policewoman had already picked it up.

"What is this?" The policewoman saw the writing on the key tag, "What water tank key?"

Tang Sisi bit her lip.

When the policewoman accompanied Tang Sisi to fetch daily necessities, Shen Ming secretly retrieved some paintings hidden by Tang Sisi.When he stuffed the scroll into the trunk of the car, he suddenly saw the police outside the survey throwing down their work and running to the tall rainwater storage tank behind the orphanage.

The police shouted as they ran: "Leah's body was found!"

Police later recovered Leah's body, sampled the water in the tank, then filtered and emptied the tank to remove every strand of hair.

This five-meter-high and three-meter-wide water tank is dedicated to collecting rainwater from the roof of the main building of the orphanage. After storage, sedimentation, and filtration, the water will be transported into the fountain in front of the building through pipelines as one of the supplementary water sources for the fountain. .This would explain Leah's blood in the fountain.

After soaking for a long time, the body was completely deformed, and was immediately sent back to the police station for autopsy.

This is the highest priority case in the current bureau, so the police got the results of the initial autopsy very quickly.

Leah died of drowning and suffocation, but there were no injuries on the surface of her body. If the criminals did not alert the crime laboratory, but threw Leah directly into the swimming pool, then [-]% of the case would be treated as accidental drowning. Leah It will also become a numerator of the probability of accidental death in the orphanage.

"Vivienne, you are already a big kid who is capable of taking responsibility, and silence can't solve any problems." Sarah shook the water tank key in the evidence bag, "Where did you get this thing?"

Tang Sisi shook her head - this was the only movement she had made in the past two hours, but it was also true, she had no idea why this damn key appeared in her personal belongings!

Tang Sisi's long-term negative attitude angered Sarah, and Sarah couldn't help but patted the table.

Shen Ming, who was sitting next to Tang Sisi, woke up from a light sleep. The human body is indeed a fragile thing, and God would feel tired even after spinning for more than ten hours.

Shen Ming yawned: "My client needs to rest. Prolonged interrogation is not in line with human rights."

Sara: "I don't want to procrastinate, but we're talking about a dead girl! And your client has the key to the dead man's burial place, as long as she tells us where it came from and why she Know where little Ellen is, tell us why she has semen-spotted Leah's underwear and it'll be over in no time!"

Shen Ming sighed: "Although all this seems to be closely related to her, in fact she really doesn't know it. You can understand this as amnesia."

Sarah: "That's not a good excuse."

"I know you suspect my client is hiding the truth, so I suggest you use a lie detector on my client, I know you have that."

Sarah: "We'll consider your suggestion, but polygraphs are not evidence at trial."

Shen Ming put his arms on the table, leaned forward, and said sincerely: "Then how about adding some thiopental? We can provide a certificate of voluntary taking of veritaserum, as long as it clears her suspicion, no one will die." Under the premise, I can toss with you."

Hearing this, Tang Sisi immediately kicked Shen Ming under the table, and as a result, he cramped as expected.

Shen Ming saw her gasping for air and pinching her calves, so he shook his head, lowered his hand and wiped off the gray stains on his trousers, and continued: "It's one o'clock in the middle of the night, and my client has received more than 10 hours of medical treatment today. Inquiry, lo and behold, has had a major adverse effect on her health, let's stop here today."
