Chapter 305: Spies
Chapter 305 Spies
Theresa nodded in understanding and said, "That's my impression too." From late last night to early this morning, they designed, drafted, and directed the entire façade of a cover-up. The lights on Washington and Sunshine Island were on overnight. And we saw the play. ”
"You're right. Sean said, "I told you not to trust those two clowns." ”
Theresa nodded again and said, "I've never been in a situation like this, and I can't trust the people I work with. ”;
"Why can't we believe that Mr. and Mrs. Batty stole a miracle vaccine in order to make a fortune?" asked Theresa, thinking for a moment.
"Because even then, there are a lot of problems that can't be explained. ”。 Sean turned his head to look at her and said, "First of all, there is something suspicious about that boat. You don't need a $100,000 boat to steal a vaccine, do you?";
Theresa frowned and said, "Maybe they're ready to steal the vaccine, they know that eventually they'll be able to afford the boat, and they'll have fun sailing." When did they buy the boat?You've seen the information, I know you've never forgotten!";
"Last April," Sean said, "before the sailing season." Ten thousand in advance and they are paying the rest. Theresa didn't speak, apparently in thought.
After a while, Theresa said, "We all know that people are often killed for small things. As for what's in the fridge, if the Barty couple had complicity on Sunny Isle, it was their complicity that loaded the vaccine onto the ship. So what? The co-conspirators on Sunny Isle told Sù that the Barty were on their way. If there is an accomplice to Mr. and Mrs. Barty on Sunshine Island, such as Mr. Eric, Dr. Clinton, Dr. Liu, or anyone on the island. ”
"Okay, let's take this as a clue. Sean said, "But that's all proof!"
"Anything else?" asked Theresa.
"I'm not an address expert. But I know that the I*Bora virus is rare, and the chances of the World Health Organization or the governments of African countries affected by the virus ordering a vaccine in large quantities seem even slimmer. in Africa. People die from all sorts of preventable diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, etc., and no one buys any medicine for them. Sean said, "That is." The claim that Mr. and Mrs. Barty stole this vaccine doesn't make sense!"
Theresa said, "yes! it changed the whole case!"
"And those archaeological things, you know? Eric told us beforehand because he knew about it, too. He couldn't hide it from us, so when he saw us, he was the first to tell it!" Sean said.
"What do you mean?". Theresa asked.
"It has nothing to do with archaeology," Sean said. It was meant to cover up something, a reason to enter the far reaches of the island. With that, Sean lit his cigar and let out a comfortable puff of blue mist, saying, "Remember the clay? But there is no place on the way from the main room to the parking lot, the bus and the pier in Sunny Island, and there is no place for this kind of red soil, and there is no soft red soil on your feet. ”;
Theresa laughed and said, "I guess when you go to pee." Got some, didn't you?".
"Can you use more elegant words?" Sean laughed twice and said, "I did something." But when I was changing clothes in the locker room, I noticed that someone had been very kind to wash my pants. ”;
Theresa echoed, "It's the same for me. ”;
"We should ask one more person, the neighbors of the Bartys, Tolstoy!". Sean said, "There's something in his interrogation notes. Not in detail!", Theresa raised her hand, looked at her watch, and said, "The inhabitants of this place get up early, and when we land, we will have some breakfast!"
After boarding the ship, Sean and Theresa. Saying goodbye to the two policemen, one tall and one short, they said they went back to the police station and reported what they had seen to Officer Donovan. Watching the two guys who seemed to be talking about the cross talk combination leave, Sean and the two of them also directly entered a restaurant not far from the beach.
As Theresa said, people here wake up early, and now before 7 a.m., there are signs of a noticeable increase in the number of pedestrians on the streets. And people here don't seem to like to make breakfast, because as soon as the two of them enter the restaurant, they already find that there are not many empty seats. So Sean tapped Theresa on the shoulder and motioned for her to take a seat. Then he quickly came to the bar and skillfully ordered some food. Then he walked to the table with a large tray.
The two of them ate very quickly, and just after seven o'clock, they had already filled their stomachs. But just after the two of them went out the door, Theresa's phone suddenly rang. She sat directly in the co-pilot, glanced at Sean and said, "It's Maginow!" Then he picked it up.
Sean started the car parked overnight on the beach, and went straight to Tolstoy's house, which was the neighbor house of the Bartys.
For about ten minutes on the road, Theresa's expression on the phone became more and more strict, and there were fewer and fewer words to say, fewer and fewer questions, and more and more times when she listened, and when Sean stopped the car, Theresa said sternly: "Okay, we know!" put down the phone, Sean on the side stopped the car, did not get out of the car immediately, but turned his head with an inquiring gaze, looked at the long-legged girl, and said, "What happened?"
"The CIA's guys, they've got a spy on Sunny Isles!". Theresa said, "And the spy was sent there because there was information that there was another radical spy on the island. His mission is to find out the spy of this radical. ”。
Theresa sorted out her thoughts a little and said: "This CIA person suspects that there may be a move before noon tomorrow! But I don't know who this spy of the enemy is! And this case may be the enemy's first move!"
"It's just his suspicion?". Sean turned his head and asked, "What is the enemy's purpose?"
"Spread the virus!" I just said, and it took him three months to verify. But the spy of the radicals was very deep in hiding, and it was not until the Barty couple were shot that he made a move!". Theresa said.
"In other words, our purpose has changed now, not Professor Mourning, nor the killing of the Bartys, but to stop the spread of the virus this time! ”。 Sean said.
"Yes! The CIA spy probably knew that the two of us had landed on the island. Be in harmony with us inside and out!". Theresa said: "So he secretly reported it, and Chief Inspector Maginot received an invitation from the CIA. Just last night when we visited the workspace!".
"It's easy to say that the inside and the outside should be combined!". Sean said, "Now we can't investigate with much fanfare! What is his plan? Who is he?".
"Maginot didn't say anything, just left us on the periphery. In charge of investigating the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Barty!, he will contact us when the time comes!". Theresa said.
"That's his plan?". Sean said, "How much time do we have?".
Theresa said, "His suspicion is that it will be before noon tomorrow!".
As soon as Sean heard it, he knew that this thing was difficult to do! If it was to find out only the murderer of Barty and his wife, although he didn't dare to say that it was extremely easy, he was definitely ninety percent sure, and this ninety percent certainty was still Sean's modest statement, because what was he setting foot on Sunshine Island for? Of course, it was the murderer and the first island he might go to (when investigating the scene of Barty's murder before, it could be connected). And there it is. As Theresa said, when Sean was "peeing", of course, peeing was not the main purpose, but the reason why he forced to pee out was that he was observing the area of red clay.
Thermal tracking of footprints. In fact, it's not just this aspect, because as long as he is handling the case, the black detective system is open all day, and the footprint tracking is of course also open, and he can clearly see the footprints of that area, and he is sure. Mr. and Mrs. Barty must have been there before they left Sunshine Isles!
Why did you visit the island, that's how clever Sean is. He was not allowed to show his face at that time, because he found that the footprints belonging to the two murderers also appeared in that area, but the direction of departure was obviously not the dock of Sunshine Island! What does this mean? It shows that what Eric who briefed him on the situation said at that time was about security work and the like, and it was some defense that outsiders could not land on the island, and it was obviously not accurate. But at that time, it can't be said that Eric is lying, it can only mean that the two murderers may also have secretly landed on the island, that is, there are other suspects on the island!
For this reason, Sean couldn't make any noise, so he went to investigate, listen, and observe the staff on the island step by step, the island is very large, and the two guys who directly killed the Barty couple may come in again and leave! As for the whereabouts, Sean does not know, because he can't track the waterway! And then, when he visited the island, he didn't find the footprints of these two murderers! There are only two possibilities, one is that, as I said just now, these two guys left by boat! There is also a possibility that these two people were hiding somewhere on the island, and they did not meet each other when they were "touring"!
But at that time, Sean still thought that there was a possibility that there were accomplices of these two murderers on the island! Now Theresa answered a phone call and said that there were CIA spies in it, but there were also extremist spies, and this extremist spy could be an accomplice of the two murderers of the Barty couple. It also confirmed Sean's theory that he guessed that these two murderers had accomplices! And the result of this accomplice's analysis in Sean's mind at that time was: This accomplice must be an "acquaintance" on the island, or an old employee! Because the words of a "newcomer" are too easy to attract attention! As long as the opponent is not an idiot, he will definitely pay attention to this.
And since they are old employees, most of the employees on Sunny Island are there, of course, in the main yàn room area. That is, the big real yàn room building visited by Sean and others. What does it mean that Sean is so tirelessly visiting one by one in the 1234th district? Of course, he has to use his observation ability, supersensory ability, lie detection ability, etc., to consider everyone he has met. Unfortunately, he didn't find that one person worthy of his attention. But this is not a waste of time, and it is necessary to be good at summing up. Because Sean seemed to have wasted time visiting, there was nothing to discover. But at this point, he again came up with two possible inferences. That is to say, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th districts have all been visited, but there is also another district! The fifth district, that is, the fifth district set up by the federal government as top secret? Of course, there will be staff members there, is it not the person you are looking for? Privileges are high enough to be able to enter the Fifth Sector and hide in there!
There is another point. That is, Sunshine Island is very large, although I visited it very carefully, but after all, there are places that I haven't seen. Is this person hiding somewhere you don't see? It's possible. Just like he speculated before, since this person is an old employee, it is impossible for him to disappear for a long time. went to hide in a secret location on an island, because in this way, he and others investigated, but he played a disappearance, and without the police, even those other people on the island would suspect him. It's a deliberate attempt to avoid the investigation! Therefore, Sean feels that this possibility exists, but it is not big!
Sean reasoned about his above thoughts. In the briefest language, he stated to Theresa in the car, to say that Theresa is of course a good detective, but to make her see things like Sean, of course, it is impossible! Sean, then our next step, should we visit Tolstoy, the neighbors of the Bartys! You know, I don't want to go through that kind of stress since the last five hours of the nuclear bomb!".
"Didn't you say! Didn't the spy say it! By noon tomorrow, at least we have more than twenty-four hours, which is much longer than five!" Sean teased a little to make the atmosphere feel better, then took out his big toad mirror from his pocket, put it on his face, and said, "Let's go, let's hurry up and ask Tolstoy!" After that Sean looked at his watch, seven o'clock in the morning, eleven o'clock.
The black jeeps of the Sean couple were parked just outside a few rooms, to the right of Tolstoy's house, the crime scene was still surrounded by protective belts, and a San Francisco County Police Department police car was parked in front of it. Large trucks at the county traffic command center were also parked on the lawn.
"Let's just treat this as a homicide for now!" Sean said, Theresa nodded.
The two came to the door of Tolstoy's house and rang the doorbell. The house is a bit like a farm bungalow from the sixties, clean and simple. It's still old-fashioned, but it's very ugly, but it's well maintained.
An old lady in her seventies opened the door, and Sean and Theresa introduced themselves. Then I saw the old lady staring at Sean's pants, and Sean knew that maybe the pants weren't very clean. Then the old lady smiled at Theresa, in contrast to Sean, and after letting the two men into the house, she turned into the back room and shouted, "Tolstoy, the police are here again!"
Then came a man, probably no more than forty years old, wearing a waistcoat with a building arm and beach pants with coconut trees printed on them. He looked at Sean and said, "Coffee?tea?".
Sean refused, "No, thank you," and Theresa declined.
Tolstoy sat in a rocking chair opposite the two men.
The décor of this house is the kind of classic stuff that is legendary: gray and moldy, stuffed with furniture, lots of ugly knick-knacks, some ugly souvenirs, and of course some pictures of the children, and so on. The walls are pink-green.
Sean opened his mouth first and asked, "Do you like Mr. and Mrs. Barty?";
The question made him stunned. He quickly came to his senses and replied, "I don't know them very well, they don't seem to talk much." ”;
"Why do you think they were murdered?" asked Sean.
"Hmm...... How do I know?", Sean looked at him for a moment, and Tolstoy continued, "It may have something to do with the work they do." ”;
Then Tolstoy continued: "I have already been approached by police officers. ”;
Theresa explained, "We know, sir. The two of us are in charge of solving the case. They are in charge of taking notes. ”
Then she briefly described the circumstances of the case, of course, as she could say, but deliberately mistaken some details and timings, which Mr. Tolstoy corrected one by one, showing that he had a good memory of what had happened in the recent past. Obviously, apart from a few simple facts that they already knew, Sean and Theresa couldn't ask anything new about Tolstoy: he was in his solarium, watching television, and heard the sound of the Bartys' boat approaching their home. He heard the noise of the big engines, and Tolstoy said, "Oh my God, those engines are so noisy, why do they use such big, noisy engines?";
Sean didn't answer, but asked, "Did you see the boat?";
Tolstoy replied: "No, I didn't go to see." ”
"But doesn't your solarium see the harbor?" asked Sean.
"Yes, but I was watching TV. Tolstoy said.
Theresa then asked, "Surely you didn't hear anything like gunshots?";
"No!" said Tolstoy, "my hearing is not bad. ”; (To be continued) RQ
