[Comprehensive] Runaway Witch

For this case, the two police officers involved and Mr. Will reacted most strongly.

The two policemen who are familiar with this community would never have imagined that not long after they took Mrs. Bruce away, colleagues from the forensic department would find Alan in the garden of Bruce's home. Down.

When this discovery was known to everyone, although Bau had a premonition, he still felt sad.

After all, they thought they had the possibility of finding Allen, even if it was slim, but they came with hope.

Seeing the child being lifted out of the dirt, Teacher Will almost collapsed.

The fresh life I saw yesterday was lying there silently now, the dirt on the pale skin made this thin and small corpse look so pitiful.

According to the preliminary forensic examination, the time of death was yesterday afternoon, which made Teacher Will burst into tears.

"I found out that Ellen was missing... I found out as soon as I started class... came to see Mrs. Crews after the first class, she... she was planting flowers, with Jerry, why! Why did I have to wait Finish the class! I should come here immediately..." Teacher Will looked at Alan's body from a distance, and she wanted to rush up, but was hugged by the **, and she was not allowed to enter the scene.

"Mr. Will, when did you arrive at Cruise's house? The time you gave is very important. Let's go back to the living room and sit down first." Emily also persuaded Teacher Will to divert her attention. At the same time, he helped her to hold Will and help her into the house.

It was clear that the current garden was too exciting for Will, and Bau was worried that she would pass out from being out of breath.

"Rosie, you and Alina go knock on the door of Jerry Crews' room. **, we need a child psychologist." Hozner said to his team members. At this time, everyone had already looked at Alan. Sent away, gathered together in the living room.

"OK, Alina, let's go." Rossi greeted Alina who was a little far away from him.

"Okay." Alina followed Rossi, and the two walked towards the stairs together.

** also walked out quickly to call someone.

"I am a child psychologist. In addition, although Jerry is only 7 years old...but he is very mature and will not fail the psychological evaluation. You can ask him if he would like to chat with you. If it is not possible, I have Doctor of psychology for children and adolescents, I can take on the experts you need." Teacher Will said proactively, she stared at Hozner, as if afraid that he would refuse.

"Miss Will, your current mood is not suitable for intervening in this case..." Looking at Will's current expression and her previous excited expression, Hozner certainly refused.

"I'm the psychologist who knows Jerry best, and I'm here, so why waste time, as for my emotional problems... I don't presuppose a position, I still have some professionalism." Teacher Will called After cutting off Hozner's words, he explained all his scruples at once.

"Are you sure? Miss Will, is your current state really okay?" Hozner didn't respond to the interruption, but reconfirmed Teacher Will's mental state and attitude.

"Yes, I'm sure." Will replied firmly.

Will's gaze fixed on Hozner stubbornly, without flinching.

"Sorry, I still refuse. You are the most unsuitable person. Your involvement in the case is already too deep. We will find other experts." Hozner looked away, just when Will thought her persistence was impressed. Hozner still refused.

"Why, just because I know them, just because I am..." Of course Will was dissatisfied, she almost jumped up from the sofa.

"You are our witness, you don't need to confuse your identity, you need to give objective testimony." Hozner's answer dispelled Will's anger.

"Heh..." Will smiled mockingly, turned his head and said nothing.

Jerry is a very beautiful little boy, sitting on the armchair, he looks so discordant, so weak.

He is surrounded by a well-known child psychologist. The expert has already talked with Jerry and confirmed that Jerry can make a statement, but she must accompany him.

Jerry thought that what his mother said was right, his brother was already disobedient, and he wanted to listen to his mother, so he didn't say anything about Allen at first.

It was Mr. Will who came out and used the authority of the teacher to convince Jerry, who was really obedient, to give him a good answer.

Under questioning, Jerry slowly told what happened yesterday.

Jerry's soft childish voice makes people's hearts soft, but the content of his words is shocking.

……

"Why did you push Alan yesterday?" Alina's heart was heavy and she felt very sad.

"Alan made Mom angry again, how could he do this!" Jerry said angrily, wrinkling his face, "Mom took us by herself and worked so hard all the time, we can't make Mom unhappy.

"But Alan is bleeding, aren't you afraid?" Alina asked a more pointed question, glanced at the child psychologist, and she returned Alina with a look of no problem.

"I was scared at first, and Allen suddenly stopped moving, but then I was not afraid anymore. My mother said, it's okay, Allen won't quarrel with her anymore." to his mother.

"Isn't Allen Jerry's brother? Will Jerry miss him?" Alina held back the discomfort in her heart.

"I will think about it. My brother was very good before, and he listened to my mother in everything...but... now Jerry also misses Alan. Mom said that Alan is under the rose flower and is with us. It doesn't matter, I miss him. , just asked Mom if I could go and see the roses." Jerry looked into the garden, through the window.

Alina followed his line of sight, and could see several rose flowers that were skewed due to the turning of the land.

"Then what happened later, Allen didn't move, what did mom do?" Rossi continued to ask.

Obviously Elina couldn't bear it any longer, because she was sad, because that young life was sad, because that young life was sad because no relatives cared about that young life.

Now, Alina is also sad for Jerry, he will understand when he grows up that he killed his brother...

"Mom carried Alan to the garden. Didn't I say that Alan was under the rose flower? Mom asked me to plant the rose flower well. I planted the flower well. This is what Alan taught me. You put Alan Did you call out from under the flowers?" Jerry was a smart boy, he knew someone had moved their garden when he saw those crooked rose flowers.

"...Yes... Allen...he came out." Rossi organized his words, he didn't know how to say to this child who knew so much but didn't know anything.

"Where did he go, is he with his mother? Can I go and see him? He didn't tell little Jerry a story last night." Jerry looked up at Rossi with a small face.

Alina finally couldn't control her emotions, tears burst into tears, she got up and walked to her colleague.

Rossi and the child psychologist also had red eyes, but fortunately they controlled their emotions.

Rhett and Emily are in the restaurant. The others and the excited teacher Will went to the police first. They need Will to give a formal statement, and it is not appropriate for her to be there when Jerry is questioned. .

After persuading Jerry to tell the truth, Will followed Hozner away.

Alina came to replace Emily, she was not competent, but Rossi needed a woman to accompany her, and it was easier to communicate with children with women.

Emily also understood, she patted Alina on the shoulder, and went to Rossi.

When they walked to the restaurant, Alina finally couldn't hold back her tears.

Rhett looked at the crying Alina with heartache, approached slowly, and patted Alina's back.

"What's going to happen to Jerry? What's going to happen to him?" Alina shed tears silently for a while, and finally calmed down, holding back her tears and looking at Rhett.

She didn't know how expectant her eyes were, hoping that Jerry would have a less sad ending.

"It depends on the judge and the jury...From now on, he will be tried in a juvenile court. If he is convicted, he may be imprisoned in a juvenile delinquent management institution until the end of his sentence." Reid looked at Ai Li helplessly. Na, her eyes are full of worry.

Rhett wants to tell Alina a happy ending, but he can't lie to her, and finally he can only tell the truth, giving a terrible future.

"He's only 7 years old!" Alina was thinking about Jerry's psychological burden when he grew up, and now she told her that Jerry's future could only be worse.

"The minimum age for criminal justice in Maryland is 7 years old, and Jerry..." How could Rhett not understand what Alina meant.

"This is really a tragedy, isn't it?" Alina closed her eyes. There are so many states in the United States, and each state has its own laws and its own minimum age for criminal justice. What is fairness and justice?

"Elena..." Reid no longer hesitated, he gently hugged Elina into his arms.

"And we, can't do anything..." Alina really needed a hug, she buried her face in Rhett's arms, she needed to hide for a while, the air outside made her so sad.

"But we have been working hard, trying to make the world a better place even a little bit." Rhett hugged Alina tightly and patted her head.

Rhett's cell phone rang, and Alina's mood improved a lot. In fact, this emotional outburst was also a double rebound after Alina suppressed her emotions too much.

Now that she was calm, Alina almost pushed Rhett away, and took several steps back.

While the ring was ringing, Reid looked at Alina a little hurt, but he still got through the phone, it was **.

Through the loudspeaker that Rhett turned on, Elina heard the nurse say: "The forensic doctor said that the cause of Alan's death was not a blow to the back of the head, but suffocation in a coma... He was still alive, and when he lay on the ground, he was still alive." alive..."

And when Alan lost his breath, his younger brother and mother were planting rose flowers on him...

Two months later, Rhett accompanied Alina to Mrs. Cruise's trial. She was convicted of manslaughter and will serve 15 years in prison without bail.

As for Jerry, he will enter the foster care system anonymously and start his new life in another state.

This file will be encrypted, but Jerry's memory cannot be encrypted. In his later life, he will have to bear the weight of this memory.
