Chapter 32: CD-ROMs
Without sunlight, darkness would be different.
That's how Ted feels right now.
He clearly knew that he was on the verge of self-destruction, as if after killing nine people six years ago, the whole person was controlled by twisted greed, and he couldn't extricate himself.
It's like ......
That irrepressible desire.
Because when the pregnant woman named Catherine walked out of the building, Ted saw a large living person carrying a leather bag as she walked forward, and in the depths of his mind, there were all kinds of deaths, including strangulation, hanging, burning, and drowning...... And the height, posture, and clothing of the deceased in the death picture are exactly the same as the woman in front of him.
He escalated again, unable to touch the sun, from longing for death to seeing death.
It's a kind of self-destruction, Ted knows in his heart, but without a woman like Penelope who melts his cold darkness with every warm smile, it is equivalent to missing a safety rope on the tightrope, and no one knows which wind will turn the whole world upside down.
Even Ted couldn't get attached to ordinary life, and his mind was filled with an uncontrollable obsession with death and destruction.
What no one knows is that this was the beginning of Ted's last marriage, otherwise he would have either become mentally ill in his extreme thoughts or would have killed himself after falling into darkness and not finding any fun or excitement.
This is also the importance of Penelope, when Ted saw Penelope's smile appear, his desperate desire for death was quiet, as if he saw Jane for the first time more than twenty years ago, the Jane who worked hard and worked hard in the sun.
With all the steps to get to know Penelope, Ted will go to the restaurant to meet the girl by chance, then have a pleasant chat with her during the order, and then make a good impression and decide on the next date. Slowly, as the feelings increase. Ted would propose at Disney for no more than a month, and after that, he would be able to experience the feeling of sunshine and live a normal life every day with Penelope's smile. Until you get tired of it.
However, it was all ruined by the weekend.
Quack.
Ted's anger ignites in the midst of a new grudge that ignites his old grudges without realizing it, and he wants to fight back, to give Weekend a taste of loss, to let the guy who once arrested his son and ruined his life, and to watch the person he trusts the most face the pain of his wife's death, forcing him to regret his defeat.
Crunch.
Ted walked out of the coffee shop across the street from the building, pulled out his car keys, unlocked it, and got into the Volkswagen sedan he had just rented from a car rental company.
Airplanes.
The car started slowly. In the continuous refueling, he scurried forward for a moment, and then quickly drove out from the side of the road.
Ted knew that Catherine would go to Wal-Mart, and that there was a secluded path from here to the nearest Wal-Mart, and that a pregnant woman needed a moderate amount of exercise during pregnancy, which proved that Catherine would definitely walk there, after all, the supermarket was not far from the building.
"YE, I'M ON MY WAY TO THE SUPERMARKET RIGHT NOW......" Catherine said with a smile on her phone. While holding his stomach with his hand, he walked forward: "Fortunately, he didn't make much trouble today." Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought a toothbrush, toothpaste, or a slice of bread......."
"No, of course I don't need you to pick me up, my dear, you have to listen to me, and you have to stick with it, no matter how boring it is to catch perverts in the homicide section. You know, at the end of the month, the hospital will send you four bills......"
Catherine turned into the middle of nowhere, and after talking to Chekov on the phone, she turned around and said, "Che, I'm not complaining that you hit those four guys, it's just that we need money now." You need promotions, raises, to alleviate our financial problems. ”
"Don't worry, I'm fine, and when I'm done shopping, I'll go home by myself...... COME-ON, it's only 10 a.m., and even a wandering area won't be unsafe at this time. ”
"Bye, I love you."
Catherine hung up the phone, and it was normal for her eyes to walk out of this path, and she only had to turn a corner to see the Walmart sign......
"Sorry to excuse me."
A strange voice crept into Catherine's ears, and the moment she looked back, a man in a suit appeared behind her, and asked politely, "Excuse me, how do I get here?" ”
Catherine saw the other party hand over a note, it was a napkin, and when she smiled politely and took the napkin, she was thinking about the way for this very polite gentleman, but she didn't expect a sudden stinging pain in her neck......
"What is this?"
Catherine turned her head to look at the other in surprise, and she saw that the man was holding a needle in his other hand, and he seemed to have injected something into herself.
“M99。”
Ted responded when Catherine's mouth opened wide, and when the words fell, he quickly walked behind Catherine and reached under her armpit, and coincidentally, Catherine collapsed at this moment, and the whole person was soft like a puddle of mud.
……
The Homicide Section of the Detective Bureau was lying on the table in the conference room with his chin on his hand on the weekend, surrounded by colorful file folders, and he was thinking hard......
He finally knew why Adam had framed Ted, a man with a kind of cunning that was so hateful!
Now, the report of the Forensic Identification Bureau has come out, and they have proved that there are traces of sodium in the taxi, that is, the murder weapon was found over the weekend, then, as long as it can be proved that Ted bought sodium, the Homicide Department has a reason to reluctantly prosecute Ted.
Don't forget that the knight also brought back a lot of books from prison, which are enough to prove that between the taxi driver and Ted, Ted is the only one who has enough knowledge of chemistry to kill people, because the taxi driver dropped out of school after the tenth grade.
The rest is much simpler, as long as Ted has purchased sodium, and the sodium at the scene of Amanda's spontaneous combustion is the same as the sodium purchased by Ted, and Ted can't come up with the normal use and amount of sodium he uses, then it is impossible for the lawyer to help him clear his suspicion, after all, the taxi driver is not qualified to commit the crime at all.
This is no ordinary homicide, and sodium is not a weapon that anyone can use, such as a knife or a gun......
Unfortunately, it's been so long, and the knight hasn't found any trace of Ted in any of the chemical stores, so if he bought it on his behalf...... Then this clue is broken again.
"Week."
Chekov walked in: "A courier package was delivered downstairs for you." ”
Syllable.
Chekov threw the package on the table, and when he opened it over the weekend, he saw a video disc with the words "A Gift for the Homicide Section."
"What is this?" (To be continued......)
