Chapter 22: Directionality
In the early hours of the morning, only the light on the computer was still flickering, and he was sitting next to the computer on the weekend, and he was flipping through the files of the drowning case in the water tower, and he had read every confession on it, and now he happened to see the most critical one.
In fact, what he wanted to see most over the weekend was the more than 100 minutes of elevator video, but helplessly, when he used the database in the police station to check it, he found that the video was encrypted, not only that video, including the forensic report, forensic report is all encrypted, all he can see is some analysis of the case at that time and the interrogation transcript that was taken into photos and saved, Selena's transcript happened to be found.
Selena's transcript contains many basic questions, such as her age, job, home address, why she opened a room at the Cecil Hotel, etc., but when you see the most important place on the weekend, 'Have you heard any special sounds, have you ever had an abnormal situation in your memory?' Selena's answer in this transcript is 'No!' ’。
Over the weekend, he pulled the photo up with the mouse and looked at it again intently, he read every word Selena said, and when he came back to the question, it was still the same answer.
Strangely, Selena and herself said that unlike the transcript, the weekend found the detective's signature at the bottom of the transcript, and according to this name, he looked up every single copy of the transcript that the detective asked, and the answer was...... Very normal!
The detective recorded that Cecil's long-term guests had information about the poor security in the neighborhood, and recorded the information that someone heard the quarrel in the corridor but didn't care, and from all the records on the records, the authenticity was very high, at least he didn't leave any useful information, only to Selena, only this one had a problem.
It is unlikely that Selena will tell a lie, she was in a state of collapse at the time, and she even admitted to stealing, how could she not admit what she heard and saw? There are some problems with this police detective's transcript, all the information he recorded is not of much help to the case and can lead to a change in the case, but this can make the case enter another level and become clearer, he did not write it, and chose to cover it up.
Why?
I don't know if it is arbitrary to doubt whether a police detective is implicated in the case and whether he will be too preconceived on the weekend, but the thoughts that appear in my mind cannot be changed.
Scold.
The door to the warehouse was opened, and a screeching sound was heard in the silence of the early morning.
"Haven't left yet?"
Syllable.
Adam turned on the light in the warehouse, looking tired too.
On the weekend, I casually closed the web page, got up and asked, "How's it going?" ”
"The investigation is being divided into two lines, one of which allows us to find the murderer's temporary residence, but unfortunately, the murderer is not there, judging from the traces, the house has been unoccupied for at least a week, it should be the den before the murderer committed the first crime, and now it is with the second line."
Adam took off his police uniform shirt as he spoke, took out a series of items such as pens, notebooks, walkie-talkies and other items in his jacket pocket and placed them neatly, and then threw his clothes into the washing machine: "What's wrong with you, it seems that you are not in good spirits." ”
"That's right, Adam, I'd like to talk to you." Weekend said without pause: "Today, the people from the homicide department called me, do you remember what I told you about being stupid, he killed someone, three, we ran two murder scenes in a row, the first one, the fingerprints on his mobile phone can prove that the fingerprints on the murder weapon belong to him; Second, there is a woman who directly proves that Silly and Honest is the murderer. ”
There was silence in the warehouse, and Adam responded after a few seconds, "Don't think too much, the police are not gods and can't arrange the fate of others." ”
"I'm just wondering why people in this world who just want to live well have to suffer so much."
"What can you do if you figure it out? Wearing this police uniform to become Dexter (the male protagonist in "Bloodthirsty Forensics")? Illegal means to stop people who escaped in court? Stop dreaming, that will make you the next one to be judged. ”
Weekend laughed, as if for the first time he had heard Adam joking.
"Hey, Adam, did you notice, no matter where I appeared in the warehouse, you were no longer in the way, and you were not as resistant as you were when you first came in."
"yes, maybe I'm used to it."
"By the way, I forgot something, Wood from the precinct called me, but I was so busy these days that I never remembered to ...... back," Adam pulled out the phone and said on the weekend, "No need." ”
Adam looked back at him and continued, "He's been to the warehouse, and he's brought it...... A pair of panties. ”
"Suspect his wife of cheating again?"
Listening to Adam's meaning, this guy doesn't seem to be the first time: "SHIT, you can't imagine what his pain has become, I thought that in that case he asked me to keep it a secret because he only told me alone......"
"Since the news of his wife's cheating two years ago spread from the scene of the Cecil Hotel crime to the entire Los Angeles police community, he has begged his colleagues in the Forensic Identification Bureau and me countless times...... In fact, he just needs someone to explain him, and he often puts himself in the perspective of the disadvantaged to be comforted by others......" Adam looked at the weekend and said, "You won't tell me that you promised him and helped him with forensics, right?" ”
The weekend replied in a somewhat empty voice: "Why are you so nervous, it's not a big deal." ”
"Honestly (are you sure?) )? This madman! ”
"You take a living man's panties in my lab...... FUCK!! ”
Adam went crazy, reached out and took off all the glass on the test bench, stuffed it into the trash can frantically, until the lab was empty, turned around and grabbed the washing supplies and began to spray on the test bench.
"Hey, is it that serious?" Weekend hurried over to the computer, picked up the brush like Adam and prepared to give the test bench a complete cleaning.
"Don't move!" Adam stopped him.
Weekend explained: "Sorry, I just wanted to help. ”
"IF YOU REALLY WANT TO HELP, THROW ALL THIS GARBAGE OUT, AND FROM TOMORROW ONWARDS, REFUSE EVERYONE WHO COMES TO ASK YOU FOR HELP, EVEN IF THE VIRGIN MARYA KNEELS IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU ME AND SAY-NO!"
“OK,OK。” Weekend raised his hand and surrendered, "You can bill me for the repurchase of these things, uh, and yes, I'm very sorry." ”
Weekend walked to the warehouse door with a black garbage bag full of various experimental containers, at which point he deliberately turned around: "Adam, I almost forgot that Selena asked me to tell you that I appreciate your comfort at the time, if it weren't for your ......"
"Who is Selena? Zhou, if you're taking on a private job, never set foot in my warehouse! Adam roared at the door, and the weekend ran away.
Scold.
As he left, Takuma closed the door to the warehouse.
He stood at the door of the warehouse with a garbage bag and recalled Adam's every expression, especially when he reminded him Selena's name at the end, he acted very naturally, as if he had never known this person, but before that, he said that Wood had begged him, and he knew about Wood's wife's cheating......
Adam...... Adam......
Weekend walked a few steps forward from the warehouse door to the street, and stuffed the garbage bag in his hand into the garbage can, at that time, the name in his mind could not match the name on the record, because the name he knew, Selena told him, and the record was all one name, and this person was - Adam!
