With the exception of Kelly, who was seriously ill, everyone was called to the hall on the first floor of Cook Hill.

Everyone turned their attention to Lin Lei, and Sergeant George was no exception, he investigated many cases, but only this case felt foggy, like seeing flowers in the fog.

Lin Lei glanced at everyone, then took out a piece of chewing gum and put it in the end, chewing it unhurriedly.

Everyone held their breath and waited for Detective Lin to solve the mystery.

Lin Lei straightened his voice and said, "This case seems confusing, but the key to solving the puzzle is actually not complicated......"

Sergeant George asked in a low voice, "Detective Lin, the key you said is-"

Lin Lei glanced at McGovern and said lightly: "The key to solving the puzzle is naturally the attack on McGovern." ”

"McGovern was knocked unconscious, and then hung in a log cabin disguised as hanging—the key to solving the puzzle?" Sergeant George frowned, as if in disbelief, "Isn't this a prank made by someone?"

Lin Lei smiled slightly, and said coldly: "I know that Westerners love to play pranks - but no matter who it is, there must be deep and shallow pranks, and the attack on McGovern is no longer a simple prank, just by virtue of the slap he received, it can be located as intentional injury." Intentional injury is a criminal case in any country. ”

Sergeant George nodded his head again and again, indeed!

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about the McGovern attack before, but later there was a more vicious homicide, and the murderer also gouged out the heart of the deceased, so compared with the vicious homicide, Sheriff George's attention was naturally focused on the murder case, and the McGovern attack case was ignored.

"Who is it that wants to attack McGovern behind his back and disguise him as hanging?" Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly.

Sergeant George thought for a long time, and finally couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and said, "Except for crazy people, I really can't figure out why anyone would do this......"

Lin Lei said with a smile: "So this is the key to unlocking the whole case - as long as you figure out why the murderer attacked McGovern, all the puzzles will be solved." ”

Sergeant George keenly caught the word "murderer" and said excitedly, "Detective Lin, you mean that the one who attacked McGovern was the murderer?"

Lin Lei's eyes narrowed slightly, but he was noncommittal, did not answer, but glanced at Robert, Daniel, and McGovern coldly.

Soon, Lin Lei continued: "Then let's reason now who attacked McGovern. ”

After a pause, Lin Lei locked his gaze on McGovern, and said coldly: "Mr. McGovern, who attacked you, you must have the answer in your heart, right?"

McGovern let out a long sigh, glanced upstairs involuntarily, and said sadly, "I really can't think of anyone else attacking me behind my back except for Kelly." Detective Lin, as you know, that note was given to me by Kelly...... But, but I always thought it was incredible, Kelly was powerless, could she really pick up a big stick and knock me down?"

Daniel sneered and said, "You were squatting on the ground at the time, and if Kelly attacked you in the back of the head from behind, it didn't take a lot of strength to knock you out." ”

Daniel was right, even if a helpless woman faced a man squatting on the ground, if she attacked from behind, a stick would be enough to knock the squatting person unconscious, even if it was smaller.

The back of the head is originally a relatively vulnerable part of a person, and it is attacked from behind, and it is condescending, not to mention women, even thirteen or fourteen-year-old and a half-old child, who also has the ability to stun adults-

This is not the same as attacking a standing adult man head-on.

There were no stupid people present, and everyone thought about it for a while and understood the truth - Kelly should have the ability to stun McGovern, there is no doubt about it.

Everyone focused on Lin Lei again, eager to know how Lin Lei would decrypt it next.

However, Lin Lei glanced at the upstairs meaningfully, and then said lightly: "The person who attacked McGovern is definitely not Kelly!"

"Ahh

"What?!"

"It's not Kelly, who is that?"

Everyone was taken aback and looked at Lin Lei incredulously.

Lin Lei waved his hand, signaling everyone to be calm, and then explained: "Kelly does have the ability to attack McGovern, but it is definitely not him who attacks McGovern. The reason is very simple, you only think about whether Kelly can stun McGovern, but don't wonder if Kelly has the ability to hang McGovern on the beam of the cabin? Kelly can't even hold McGovern by hanging McGovern on the beam!"

"Uh-"

Everyone suddenly realized!

This is indeed what everyone ignores, too many things have happened in just one day, and everyone's attention is not on the attack on McGovern, so it is understandable that they have not thought through enough and have been negligent, not that they are all fools except Lin Lei.

After all, everyone's attention has always been focused on the murder of Gibson - the murder case is the focus of everyone's thinking!

It's just that now Detective Lin actually said that McGovern's attack was the point, so everyone thought about it in a hurry, and it was inevitable that there would be negligence.

"But—Detective Lin, I did receive a note from Kelly asking me to go to the cabin for a tryst...... If it wasn't for Kelly attacking me, why did she write that note that deliberately led me there? Do you mean Kelly still has accomplices?" McGovern asked, after a moment's thought, a little puzzled.

Lin Lei smiled slightly, and said slowly: "It seems that it is naturally possible to commit a crime in partnership at first, but if you think about it carefully, it is absolutely impossible. ”

"Why?" everyone asked in unison.

Lin Lei smiled and explained: "Would Kelly be stupid enough to ask McGovern to the cabin with a note, and then let his accomplices attack him? Isn't this the way a fool would choose to commit a crime?

After a pause, Lin Lei glanced at McGovern and said, "You didn't ask Kelly about this later, I'm afraid it's because Robert and Daniel have been present, and you want to wait for a time to talk to Kelly alone later, right?"

McGovern lowered his head and whispered, "Exactly. ”

Kelly is McGovern's ex-girlfriend, so it's normal for McGovern to have some ambiguity with her - now that McGovern was attacked, it's almost inevitable that McGovern would question Kelly in private, rather than in public.

I'm afraid that McGovern still has a deep love for Kelly in his heart - even if he suspects that Kelly is attacking him or conspiring with others to attack him, he is not willing to make it public, but first asks her himself......

"What's more, with the relationship between Kelly and you, I'm afraid she doesn't have the motive to hurt you, right?" Lin Lei stared at McGovern and asked in a deep voice.

McGovern nodded and replied, "yes, so I think it's weird, and that's why I didn't say anything." And when I got back to Cook Hills, Kelly acted like she was nothing, which made me even more confused. I decided to find a private opportunity to ask her, but unfortunately I didn't wait. ”

Lin Lei exhaled a long breath, and then said, "Then the answer seems to be coming out now...... Assuming that Kelly didn't really write this note, who would be able to imitate Kelly's handwriting and quietly put the note in your pocket?"

McGovern was stunned, and after thinking for a few seconds, his face changed greatly, and he blurted out: "Could it be him?—— no! It must be him! Only he can do it!"
