Chapter 517: Blizzard Mountain Villa Murder (12)
Sergeant George bowed slightly, expressing approval.
Lin Lei took out a piece of chewing gum and put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and then Lin Lei and Sheriff George came to the second floor together.
The first room on the second floor is Robert's room.
Lin Lei took Sheriff George and entered Robert's room. I saw him holding his head in his hands, looking very distressed. When I saw someone coming in, I wanted to speak, but when I saw that the person taking the lead was Lin Lei, I couldn't help but be stunned all of a sudden.
Lin Lei didn't speak, just stared at Robert coldly......
After a long time, Robert reacted and said loudly, "Officer, the suspicious person I mentioned earlier is him! I didn't expect you to arrest him......"
As soon as the word "catch" came out, Robert suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he couldn't say what was wrong for a while......
The policeman guarding Robert smiled helplessly and said to Lin Lei: "Detective Lin, from the moment he returned to the room, Robert has been shouting that there was a suspicious Oriental yesterday, claiming to be a policeman, and it is estimated that he is a fake...... I guess he's talking about you......"
Lin Lei smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
Lin Lei glanced at Robert and said with a smile: "Mr. Robert, since I can enter your room with Sheriff George now, don't you know if I am pretending to be a policeman?"
Robert finally figured out what he felt was wrong just now - yes, Lin Lei was in front, Sergeant George was following behind, and people who knew the "rules of officialdom" understood that Lin Lei's identity must be higher than George's!
Robert sneered, quickly put away his expression just now, and said, "Uh, I'm sorry, Officer Lin, I'm offended." β
Lin Lei waved his hand and said, "It's okay." β
Robert was suspicious of Lin Lei, this didn't mean anything, so Lin Lei quickly turned the page and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Robert, tell me where you were and what you were doing between 14 and 16 o'clock yesterday afternoon?"
Robert knew that Lin Lei was asking for his alibi, his face suddenly darkened, and he shook his head and said, "Alas, I don't have time to witness. From 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., I had my lunch break in my room. I didn't wake up until you rang the doorbell later. If memory serves, it was 16:10......"
Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "Well, I see." β
Robert was a little discouraged, but quickly cheered up again and said loudly: "Officer Lin, I swear to God, I am definitely not a murderer!"
Lin Lei smiled and said, "Oh, yes, I'm sorry, it's your business to believe in God, but I don't believe it." β
If you swear to God, why do you need the police? It is better to believe that the sow will go up to the tree......
Robert scratched his head, a little embarrassed - it is common for Westerners to believe in Jesus and God, but like Chinese people, Lin Lei doesn't believe half a word of this kind of swearing to XXX......
Sergeant George walked up to Lin Lei and said in his ear: "Detective Lin, Robert has no time to witness, I think the suspicion is not small......"
Lin Lei bowed slightly, noncommittal.
The atmosphere was a little solemn all of a sudden, and after a while, Lin Lei suddenly asked, "Mr. Robert, you had a Texas Hold'em poker game after lunch, right?"
Robert nodded repeatedly, "Yes." β
Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked word by word, "What was the seat situation like at that time?"
This kind of thing can be found out by asking other people, and there is no need to worry about Robert lying.
Robert didn't think about it, and replied directly: "Kelly deals the cards on the opposite side of the table, and then on the other side of the table in a clockwise position, they are me, Daniel and McGovern. Gibson wasn't involved in the game at the time, but he was watching us play from behind......"
Lin Lei nodded and continued to ask, "That mysterious disappeared Rios, didn't participate in the game?"
Robert replied, "Yes, he went back to his room after eating and didn't participate." β
Lin Lei suddenly changed the topic and asked Robert, "What time did you part ways with Kelly and Daniel before?"
When Robert and the other three were found by the police, they were not together, but were found separately.
According to them, there are mobile phones to contact anyway, and it will be easier for everyone to find the way by going their separate ways......
Robert thought for a moment and replied, "We split up to look for the road around 10 a.m., and then the police found me around 12 p.m. β
Lin Lei asked coldly, "In other words, the three of you wandered around in the snow for two hours while you were separated?"
Robb nodded and said, "Yes." β
Dr. Kevin's residence was not too far from the place where they were separated, and it would normally take less than an hour to arrive, and it seemed that each of the three men had enough time to commit the crime, kill Dr. Kevin, and then burn his body.
Just when Robert stretched his neck and was about to accept Lin Lei's next question, Lin Lei suddenly stopped asking, just lowered his head, and seemed to be in deep thought.
After a long time, Sergeant George whispered to Lin Lei, "Detective Lin, look ......"
Lin Lei retracted his thoughts, smiled, and nodded, "Well, let's go ask the next person." β
Robert, who was in a state of high tension, let out a long sigh of relief as he watched Lynley and Sheriff George leave the room, while the policeman next to him, who was keeping an eye on him, stared at him deadly......
After walking out of the door, Lin Lei suddenly stopped.
When Sergeant George saw Lin Lei's demeanor, he knew that there was a play, and immediately asked, "Detective Lin, did you find anything?"
Lin Lei's eyes deepened, and after a while, he said slowly: "Yes, I found a person, he is very suspicious. β
"Who?!" Sergeant George immediately asked.
Lin Lei pointed to the room in front of him and said coldly, "It's her." β
Following the direction of Lin Lei's finger, Sergeant George saw Kelly's room at a glance!
That's right, it's Kelly!
Sergeant George frowned, and said to himself, "I also think that Kelly is too suspicious!"
Lin Lei got up and said as he walked: "There is an old saying in Huaxia, called 'When things go wrong, there must be demons'. This Kelly, it's so abnormalβ"
β¦β¦
After entering Kelly's room, Lin Lei found Kelly lying on the bed, as if she was seriously ill.
The policeman in charge of monitoring on the side said to Lin Lei a little anxiously: "Detective Lin, Kelly's body temperature is 40 degrees, which is a severe high fever - it should be caused by walking in the snow for too long before......"
Lin Lei's brows twitched slightly, and he glanced at Kelly who was lying on the bed.
I saw that Kelly was pale, her eyes were closed, and a wet towel was placed on her forehead......
"Have you taken the medicine?" Lin Lei asked with a frown.
The policeman nodded and replied, "Cook Hill has the usual medicines, and I have given her them before, but she fell asleep after taking them, and I can't wake her up......"
Lin Lei walked up to Kelly and touched Kelly's forehead with his hand, and sure enough, the burn was not light.
Sergeant George walked up to Lin Lei and whispered, "Detective Lin, although Kelly is suspicious, but-"
Sheriff George's meaning is obvious, how could Lin Lei not know?
The United States is a country that pays great attention to human rights - well, or "self-proclaimed" to be a country with human rights - not to mention a suspect, even if it is a murderer, if he is sick, he must be treated, and he must not be forcibly questioned.
This is not unique to the United States, it is the case in any country in the world, of course Lin Lei knows very well that he can't ask Kelly now.
"Why don't we go and ask Daniel and see what he has to say?" Kelly is here and waits for the doctor to come and ask when his condition is stable!" said Sergeant George, frowning.
Lin Lei bowed slightly, thought for a while, but did not leave Kelly's room, but asked the guards, "Show me the medicine Kelly took." β
Hiss - Sheriff George gasped!
is worthy of Detective Lin, worthy of being a famous detective-level character!
George didn't expect that Lin Lei would want to see the medicine Kelly was taking!
That's right, that's a crucial part!
Kelly must have had symptoms of a cold, and if someone in the lodge noticed Kelly's illness in advance and replaced the fever reducer with sleeping pills, that would ......
The policeman handed Lin Lei the medicine box with antipyretic medicine written on it, pointed to one of the tablets and said, "Detective Lin, the medicine was taken from this version of the medicine by myself......"
Lin Lei took the antipyretic medicine and looked at it carefully for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "I haven't changed it, this is indeed a fever reducer." β
Sergeant George asked with some confusion, "Detective Lin, why are you so sure?"
Lin Lei pointed to the version of the medicine and said: "The packaging is the factory packaging, someone wants to deduct the cover, change the medicine and seal it again, that can't escape my eyes, unless it ......"
Lin Lei glanced at the policeman meaningfully, and then stopped talking.
The policeman sneered, and he also knew what Lin Lei meant.
Unless the guard police lie, he is the one who dropped the pills!
But this is simply impossible - if you are always thinking about investigating the case when solving the case, and you can't hit it with eight poles, and police officer A and police officer B are murderers, then the case can't be rectified......
Since Kelly is indeed sick, it seems that there is nothing suspicious about this point as falling asleep after taking fever-reducing medicine, which is also consistent with the medicinal properties of some cold medicines.
Kelly can't be questioned for the time being, so she can only ask the next person-
Daniel......
