In the monitoring room of the Homicide Bureau of the Police Detective Bureau, Matthew sat on the sofa staring intently at the TV screen hanging on the wall, at that time, his posture on the sofa did not change, his facial muscle expression became more and more stiff, and the hand holding the coffee cup gradually began to turn the skin at the joints due to excessive force.

This is a manifestation of extreme anger, anger to the point where the whole person is almost uncontrollable.

On the screen, Julianne and the knight are interrogating Ted under the white mandarin lamp, and this interrogation is extremely ......

"Ted, you were at the scene of the two spontaneous combustion cases, and the deceased had physical contact with you before the spontaneous combustion, how do you explain this?" Julianne asked the question in the interrogation room.

Ted sat in the prisoner's seat and responded more calmly than the two policemen, "Why should I explain? ”

"Don't you have a record of my release from prison in your files? Or did you guys not see the criminal psychologist's assessment of me while I was serving my sentence? Even your experts signed the release papers, thinking that I should return to society, then, from the moment I left the prison, I was a free person, and in the land of the United States, any legal actions of legal citizens do not need to be explained. ”

Ted shifted his position and rested his elbows on the table, looking into Julianne's eyes.

There is a question on the screen that Julianne and the knight are leaning back in their chairs as Ted rests his elbows on the table and leans forward slightly to answer the question, Julian holding a pen in his hand and a document on his upturned lap, while the knight sits with his shoulders crossed. The two of them did not have the aggressiveness of a police detective during interrogation, and in the context of the scene, it looked like Ted was interrogating them both because Ted was sitting aggressively.

"Don't play tricks!"

The knight glared at Ted, and finally pushed his body out. He asked with a ferocious attitude: "You are the last person to have physical contact with the deceased, and the three deceased all spontaneously combusted after making physical contact with you, do you think you can avoid this problem?" ”

Ted retracted his body and slowly leaned back in his chair, completing a confrontational transition back and forth: "I said it was a coincidence. Do you believe it or not? ”

"In 1673, a man named Parisian died of spontaneous combustion on a straw mat, which is the earliest record of spontaneous combustion; In 1744, Lady Pat of Ipswich, England, also died of spontaneous combustion; In 1949, New Hampshire woman Cottrice also died of natural causes at home, and more than 200 similar spontaneous combustion incidents have been recorded. Ted raised the corner of his mouth and said deliberately angry: "Please explain to me why so many coincidences have been staged again and again in history, but I can't appear at the scene of spontaneous combustion twice in a row and have contact with the three deceased?" ”

The knight was about to open his mouth to say something, but for the first time, Ted grabbed the white and said, "Evidence." Guys, don't you need to convict whomever you want to convict, and tell the sinner that he has no way out? ”

Syllable.

Julianne threw the document on the table, pointed to it with her pen and said, "Ted, do you still think you're secretive?" The anthropologist has helped us figure out what happened to you, and you are using the wick effect! ”

"Human body fat is the wax outside the wick. Clothes are wicks, right? You must want to say this, you want to say that there is a source of combustion in the human body. Ted calmly replied, "That." How did they all burn? ”

"I don't smoke, I don't have an open flame on my body; You've checked my suit, it doesn't contain any chemicals......" Ted reappeared in the light, first at the knight, then at Julian and said, "You must first prove that the flame on the deceased did not spontaneously combust, and that the cause of the burning was related to me." Proving these two points, there is no need to prove any wick effect, and at that time, needless to say, I will consciously apply for the appearance of a lawyer before the trial. Until then, you can only watch me walk out. ”

Almost exactly the same as the last time. The last time this Ted pulled a bunch of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and the like, this time, he threw the simplest procedure for solving the crime directly in front of the police.

Julianne and the Knight weren't the first day they were cops, if they could prove that the cause of the fire was related to Ted, they would have already charged him for arson and murder, so why bother here!!

When, when, when.

The knock on the door came into the interrogation room, and the moment the door opened, John's face still did not ease and said, "Julianne, knight, come out." ”

The two men walked out of the interrogation room, and John pointed to the monitoring room with his thumb to the other side and said, "The big boss has arrived, and he wants to see you." ”

Hearing this, Julianne looked at her partner, shook her head and walked towards the monitoring room.

“SIR。”

When Julianne and the knight stood at the door of the monitoring room, they saw the coffee cups on the ground and the coffee on the ground, and the moment they looked at the deputy director in front of them, the face full of anger seemed to be about to spontaneously combust.

"Come in, close the door."

Matthew saved face for them, at least let them close the door to the monitoring room.

Click.

The moment the knight stepped into the room, closed the door, and the lock sounded......

"Are you still a cop?"

Matthew snatched the document from Julian's hand in a fit of rage and fell to the ground: "Do you still deserve to stay in the Homicide Department!" ”

These two roars directly ruined the reputation of a department, everyone knows that the homicide department in the police department is a department standing on the top of the tower, and their people will often look down on the detectives of the anti-crime and anti-narcotics department, thinking that anti-crime and anti-narcotics are not considered to be handling cases, aren't they just relying on connections, informants, squatting pits, and intimidation in the interrogation room to solve the case? There's nothing technical about it. This is just like a brain surgeon looks down on the chest, the chest looks down on the general outside, and the general outside looks down on the internal medicine, in the police station, the homicide department, the anti-crime and anti-narcotics department, the trapping team, and the patrol police of the substation, there is a similar order, and every police officer thinks that the homicide department is the place where the detective should go, so the forensic department of the entire police station will be arranged here.

"You want an anatomical expert, I'll give it to you; You told me to close the club, and I, the deputy chief of the police station, personally went to the court to apply for it, and what did I get? I saw criminals in the interrogation room teaching the police how to solve the case! ”

The disappointment is self-evident, at this moment, Matthew actually began to miss the days when Adam was alive, when he was alive, no matter what kind of murderer he faced, he had a calm temperament, even in the face of the murderer disdainfully saying 'You don't have evidence to prove that I killed', Adam could also slap it in the face, and the criminals who used all kinds of incriminating evidence to respond without words widened his eyes and showed an expression of disbelief.

What now?

The interrogation is not like an interrogation, the investigation is not like an investigation, the forensic department is busy with chaos, and everyone in the homicide department jumps up and down!

"SIR, this case has killed three people, it is a serial homicide case, and according to the procedure, we should be referred to the FBI." As soon as the knight said this, Julianne raised her head and rolled her eyes.

"Shut your foul mouth!"

The knight's words directly touched Matthew's scales, and he would never have handed over the case when the entire Los Angeles media were scrambling to report on the spontaneous combustion of the human body, let alone admit the incompetence of the police department in front of the media.

It's just that Matthew clearly knows that the homicide department is no longer a department composed of elite soldiers, and after the emergence of Adam, a genius who surpasses everyone in IQ, the people here forget to choose to think first when they encounter any problems, but directly push the problem in front of him. As a result, most of the detectives in the Homicide Division deal with obvious cases like the Honest Murder Case, and in this case, it would be ...... for them to deal with Ted's case

It's time to think about a substitution.

This is the only thought in Matthew's mind, and he is not very good at directly sitting in the homicide department to do this kind of layman leading the insider's business, as for the previous homicide bureau boss has now become another deputy director, Matthew at the same level is basically unlikely to rely on his prestige to throw people back, which is equivalent to making enemies.

"Hey, Preston?" Matthew pulled out his phone. (To be continued......)
