Chapter 43: Busy Days
James thought about what Ms. Emma said before, thinking that Jacob was really annoying, and what Jacob did also left a trace of doubt in James's heart, if it was Jacob who deliberately bullied and deducted his salary to kill him, it was not impossible. James shook his head www.biquge.info it was better to think about it after listening to what Ms. Emma had to say. So, James motioned for Ms. Emma to continue.
Emma continued: "Time passed like this, and Mark's work went smoothly and Jacob didn't find any fault with him. It wasn't until Mark did it for a month or so that something happened.
Mark didn't know why that day, he was very angry, he asked me if I could end the job, in fact, I was ready to say yes, but Jacob answered first, no, we stipulate two months, if you do one less day, I will be in default, and you will not blame us for not getting this month's salary at that time. At that time, I wanted to persuade Jacob to forget it, after all, Mark was still a child, but Jacob just didn't give up. He also yelled at me at the time, so I have a very clear impression of this incident, and our husband and wife had an awkward quarrel for a while because of this matter. β
"Ms. Emma, do you know why Mark was so angry at that time?" James asked suspiciously, James felt that this was a key point, as long as he figured this out, he believed that there would be unexpected gains.
But Emma shook her head and said: "I still don't understand what happened at that time, but I know that the day after that incident, Mark really didn't come, and his month's salary was not settled, because Jacob and I were in a temper tantrum at that time, so I didn't ask him what happened to Mark, but I always felt that the matter about Mark must have something to do with my husband Jacob, and after that, I waited for my anger to disappear, and I also asked Jacob why Marco was so angry, Whenever Jacob always looked at me impatiently, he said, "Why do you care so much?" Looking at his expression, it was clear that he knew everything, but he refused to tell me all along. β
James thought that it seemed that this Mark still had to meet, but before that, James had a question in his mind, so he asked like Ms. Emma, "By the way, do you recruit summer workers every year?" β
Ms. Emma thought for a moment and said, "Well, that's right, it's true, it seems that all of us come here every year. James said to himself: That's right, that's it. Then he asked, "Ms. Emma, do you remember the names of the students other than Mark now?" Emma thought about it carefully and said a little embarrassedly, "I can't remember, it's been a bit long." James was silent for a while, this is not good, it is not easy to get some clues, but it can't be broken like this, so James asked, "Lady Emma, if I put the pictures of those people in front of you now, will you be able to recognize them?" β
If not, it would be bad, James thought to himself, fortunately, he didn't disappoint James. Emma said: "Of course, although I don't remember their names now, but I remember all the looks, after all, they worked with me for two months, and of course, except for Mark, I still feel a little sorry for this child." β
James sighed, perhaps, he should find this kid named Mark to talk to, James thought to himself, and then, James asked some more details about Jacob's usual life, and Ms. Emma also answered them to James one by one, and soon, it was noon. In Emma's argument, James also got a very useful piece of information, that is, Jacob's interpersonal relationship is not very complicated, about this, although it seems to be nothing, but if you really think about it, you will find that this is actually very useful for solving the case, because the simpler the interpersonal relationship of the deceased, the scope of the murderer can be greatly reduced, and the police can analyze the possible perpetrators in the shortest possible time.
Because it was too late, James sent Ms. Emma away, and he had to report his findings to Walker, because he might need a helper.
That's what I found out through this period of investigation, James stood in front of Walker and told Walker the results of the investigation. "So you mean, you need pictures of those students?" Walker asked.
"That's right, this should serve as a breakthrough." James said, Walker frowned and looked at James and said, "You are indeed a way to do this, but do you want to show Emma the list of students in Los Angeles Middle School for the past five or six years, this is one, that is tens of thousands of people." β
That's right, if you list all the students in Los Angeles Middle School over the past few years, that's a lot of money, even if the police work hard to find out the list, but is it just for Ms. Emma? This is clearly not going to work. James was silent for a while and said, "What if it's just looking for the students that Dominic once taught?" That would be very feasible. Walker was stunned when he heard this, "Are you so sure that these two cases were done by one person?" β
James smiled, "How can I say it, it's a kind of intuition, by the way, is the autopsy report of the forensic doctor David out?" If you compare the two autopsy reports side by side, I believe there will be a surprising discovery. Walker stared at James for a long time before finally saying, "Okay, I'll immediately arrange for someone to investigate the information about Dominica students in the past few years, what about you, what are you going to do?" β
James thought for a moment, "I should go see somebody, maybe he can help us." But I don't know his address yet, can I send someone to help investigate, well, he's also a student at Locke Middle School, and his name is Mark. β
Soon, Walker arranged for someone to investigate Mark's address, which was not a difficult task for them.
In the afternoon, three people stood at the gate of the school, "You kid is really good at causing trouble, isn't it good to patrol honestly, you have to put up this case, you can handle the case yourself, I just happened to be lazy, but your kid even pulled me in." That's right, the person who is complaining is James's old partner George, remembering that in the morning, when Walker asked him who he wanted to help with the school investigation, James did not hesitate to choose George. Now George no longer dislikes James as much as he used to, but often helps James, as an old criminal policeman, there will always be something unique about him.
On James's other side was a woman. Hey, this woman is scared when James sees it now, remembering the sarcasm in the office last time, James can't help but stay away from that woman. That's right, this woman is Sarah, who is known as the LAPD police flower. Because Sarah was a civilian in the archives office in the police station, Walker called Sarah to help at that time, and the explanation to James was that you were not going to investigate some documents, and bringing Sarah with him might help you a lot.
At this time, Sarah's face was actually not good-looking, and it was okay to be called to the school to help James for no reason, the key was that James's attitude made Sarah very unhappy, so Sarah couldn't help it, "James, let me tell you, do you think I am willing to come to help you, you dare to put on a very reluctant look." James had nothing to say after hearing Sarah's words, no matter what, he was here to find evidence, so James breathed a sigh of relief and said to Sarah, "Okay, we still have something to complete here today, and I ask Ms. Sarah to help"
Sarah didn't expect James's attitude to change so much, and suddenly she didn't know what to say, glanced at James, and walked into the school.
After entering the school, James found the principal and expressed their intention this time, and the principal was also a smart person and said that he would cooperate well. Then they took James and his party to the school's archives, the school's archives were not very big, but there were a lot of things in it, and after asking the administrator about the general placement of things, James began to look for them. But the archives may have been uncleaned for a long time, so they are full of dust. James glanced back and said to Sarah, "Either the two of us can look for it, and you can just stand in the doorway." β
Sarah was still a little bored, this archive room was too messy, it was okay not to move those books, but if she moved, it would make the room full of smoke and miasma. Hearing James say this, Sarah was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said, "It's okay, you can all do it, why can't I do it, hurry up and find it, we can leave early after looking for it early." β
James nodded after hearing this, didn't say anything, and continued to look for the files he needed, who knew that this search would be an afternoon, but the hard work paid off, and finally let them find all the treatments.
After getting into the car with the required materials, James couldn't help but smile and said, "Where is this archive room, I originally thought that the order was already neatly arranged, and we just had to take it away, but I really didn't expect it to be completely out of order." When George heard this, he also said helplessly, "I haven't encountered a good thing since you stinky boy came, I really don't know what happened to your partnerγγγγγ β
In the jokes along the way, only Sarah didn't speak, she was in no mood to think about anything else now, the only thing she thought about now was, hurry up and go back to work to take a shower...
A busy day is finally coming to an end, looking at those two or three hundred photos, James smiled, there will be results tomorrow.
