Chapter 42: Old Cases and New People
Soon, James was at the police station. When the www.biquge.info came, he found that he had indeed come early, because there were only a few people in the police station at this time. Among them was Walker.
"Hi, James, yes, you're very motivated, come so early." It was James' immediate boss Walker who spoke, and as a leader, he could have come a little later, and this way of leading by example made James feel admired.
While James was thinking about this, Walker suddenly said: "Little guy, isn't it very unwilling that Dominic's case was not solved last time." James was stunned, he didn't know why Walker had suddenly brought it up. That's right, after all, this is the first case that James investigated, and the first case failed, so how could James be willing. So James said: "That's right, it's quite unwilling. Dominic's case still finds me strange, I always feel that I am reasoning in the right direction, but it is the middle process, and I don't know where to start wrong. ”
After listening to James's words, Walker was silent for a moment, boy, you should be lucky to meet me, otherwise, maybe you will also leave a lifetime of regrets. "James, let me tell you, when Emma comes, you will ask her, I have decided this case, and you will be in charge."
James was extremely excited, God, he thought that because of his bad performance in the last case, this case was likely to fall into the hands of others, but he didn't expect that he was still in charge. James looked at Walker for a long time, and asked why. And Walker simply said, I don't want anyone to have regrets. And then it was gone.
Soon, it was time for Ms. Emma to come to the police station, and James analyzed the two cases over and over again in his mind, in fact, he had analyzed them many times before, and he believed that this was a murderer, the key was to find that breakthrough point, and Ms. Emma was undoubtedly that breakthrough point, James firmly believed in this.
"Ms. Emma, sit down, do you want a cup of coffee?" James tried to keep his voice as calm as possible, and he didn't want to put too much pressure on Emma. "No, I guess it's just water." James didn't say anything when he heard this, so he poured him a glass of water and placed it in front of Emma. "Alright, Ms. Emma, shall we begin?" James asked, "Of course." Hearing this, James didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.
"Lady Emma, I would like to ask first, how is the relationship between your husband and wife?" James wanted to ask this question last time, so he asked it right away this time. Emma was obviously stunned for a moment, she didn't expect James to ask such a question, would these help the case? Although a little confused, Emma still answered truthfully: "Actually, my husband and I have a very cold relationship now, we don't live together now, he usually lives in that house, and I'm in the hotel, I always think that there is someone outside Jacob, yes, I just suspect that he is having an affair, you know, my husband and I have not had a ** relationship for a few years." ”
Hearing this, James felt very strange, this is not normal, is it really Jacob having an affair outside? I heard Emma continue: "I'm not afraid of your jokes about this matter, I have secretly investigated, but I have not found any signs of him having an affair. ”
James was puzzled, whether it was really not found or not, I don't know yet, but I believe that it will be investigated later. "By the way, Ms. Emma, you said last time that Jacob has no enemies, which I don't really doubt, after all, it is not easy to offend people when opening a restaurant, but please think about it carefully, has he ever offended others, anyone can do it."
After listening to James's words, Emma thought about it carefully and suddenly said, if it must be said, it is only those employees. A twinkle flashed in James' eyes. Continued to wait for Ms. Emma to continue.
Emma recalled: "Actually, my husband had a lot of shortcomings, in the past, many people came to work in our restaurant, but Jacob often withheld the wages of those employees for no reason, so that many employees were actually dissatisfied with him. But he ignored it and continued to go his own way, remembering the most serious time at that time, my husband also got into a fight with the employee at the time...... "James felt very incredible, it turned out that there was such an inside story, so he couldn't help but ask Ms. Emma: "What is the specific reason, what was the situation at that time." ”
After saying so many words in one breath, Emma was also a little thirsty, so she took the water in front of her and drank it all. James didn't say anything, but helped Emma pour a new glass of water, motioning for Emma to continue.
"Hey, the main reason for that incident is actually my husband, didn't he just say that he often deducted other people's wages, and the one who came to work with us that time was a student, which is a bit similar to the kind of job seeker who works in the summer."
Hearing the word student, James instantly became excited, is this time still related to those students? The last case of Dominic was an unclear relationship with his students. Although in the end, those students had alibi evidence, which led to the final collapse, no one can guarantee that it was not the students who Dominic once taught who held a grudge against him, so it is very likely that the resulting retaliation will occur. However, Dominic has been teaching for more than 20 years and has taught countless students. No one knows how many of these students have been sexually assaulted by Dominica, and they don't know who they are, and some students have left the city because of graduation, which makes the investigation even more difficult. Didn't I mention it at the time, when the clues of this case were broken, in fact, the police did not stop the investigation, but in the whole city there are not 1,000 but 800 students who have not left, and there are still 3 or 400 boys after removing some girls, and it is very unrealistic to want to investigate them all. So with only this one clue, it is difficult to find the murderer at all, and the police can only investigate like looking for a needle in a haystack, but with little success, and there may be cram school students, the private kind.
James looked at Emma and asked him to continue, as long as there are more clues this time, I believe that the murderer's true self will be discovered. Emma heard James say this and continued.
I remember that it was a summer vacation three years ago, Emma recalled, during that time, because of the summer vacation, the number of people who came to the restaurant to eat had increased significantly, and my husband and I discussed whether we should ask someone to help, otherwise it would be very busy, Jacob thought about it carefully and agreed, because the restaurant was busy, which was a fact, and this was something he could see. So we used a board and wrote an announcement on it to recruit a waiter. On the evening of the day the announcement was posted, a student-like person came to apply for a job, and he asked us if he could do it, and I asked her if she could endure hardship, because being a waitress is very tiring, and explained to him that we were only looking for summer workers. He said yes right away. And Jacob did not object, but seemed to be happy. We made an agreement that the probationary period would be three days, and if we didn't do well within three days, we would leave immediately, and if we did well, we would stay, and the child agreed. We'll ask him to bring a copy of his ID when he comes tomorrow.
Speaking of this, James suddenly interrupted him, "I'm very sorry, Ms. Emma, I have to interrupt you, is it that you remember the name of that student." ”
Emma was stunned, obviously not expecting James to ask such a question. "Well, I think about it, I remember this kid more clearly, he worked very hard at that time, and his temper was very good, if I remember correctly, he should be called Mark."
Mark, James remembered the name firmly. Then he asked, "Ms. Emma, did your restaurant have anything like a labor law when you hired people?" James thought to himself that if he could start here and find out the names of those who worked here, he would save a lot of time.
But James was doomed to disappointment. Because this restaurant is just a small restaurant, the waiters in the catering industry are extremely mobile, and none of them have any awareness of labor laws, so the people who came have never signed a labor contract at all, and some are only verbally explained, and then Emma said that they will actually still receive a copy of the provincial certificate, at that time James was very happy to hear it, isn't it more direct, with a copy of the provincial certificate, you can directly know the identity of those people, which is much easier than only knowing the name. But Emma's next sentence poured cold water on James, explaining that although they collected a copy of their ID card, they would return it to them at the end of their part-time job and ask them to take the copy with them.
James was very disappointed, because according to his judgment, the murderer might be able to immediately determine who the murderer was among the people who came to work in the restaurant, if he could have information about them. In fact, there has always been a big hole here, which James only woke up to after being reminded by George.
Although slightly disappointed, James asked Emma to continue talking about Mark. Although Emma didn't quite understand why James was disappointed just now, she also knew that it should be related to the person who came to work in the restaurant, so she didn't say anything and continued to talk about Mark.
Mark, don't look at him as a student, but his facial features are very delicate, and he is unambiguous in his actions, that is, Jacob, who especially likes to find fault with employees, has nothing to say this time, but the more this is the case, the more Jacob stares at Mark, and this is where he is mean.
