"It's not!" She said. But Katyusha deduced that the girl actually thought he liked her; She could tell it from the girl's rising tone. A person's tone of voice can be used for polygraphs.

"Not even a bit?"

"There's a chance he'll like it. But a lot of boys you know what it's going to be like. Her eyes glanced at Katyusha, meaning: The boy had a crush on you too, even though it was a long time ago.

"Have you two spoken?"

"I used to talk about homework. That's all. ”

"Did he mention the places he likes to frequent?"

"I didn't talk about the specifics. He said he prefers to go near the water. The seaside reminds him of some of the places in the games he plays. ”

This is important and proves that he loves the sea. It's possible that he's hiding in some seaside park, or it's Lovos Point Park. In this temperate climate, he easily lives in a waterproof sleeping bag.

"Does he have any friends to live with?"

"I really don't know much about him. But I've never seen him with friends, not like I did with friends. He seems to be surfing the Internet all the time. He can do anything but don't like school and is smart. Even when he was having lunch or studying, he would sit outside and play on the computer, and he would surf the Internet as long as he had access to the signal. ”

"Are you afraid of him, Catelyn?"

"Well, yes." It seems that this question does not need to be asked.

"But you didn't speak ill of him on the Chimera Report or on any social networking site, did you?"

"Nope."

So what exactly is this girl nervous about? Katyusha couldn't read her inner emotions, very extreme emotions, not just fear. "Why don't you post about him?"

"Because I don't use the Internet, it's full of garbage."

"It's because you're sorry for him."

"That's right." Caitlyn twirled with the stud earring on her left ear, "because"

"Because of what?"

The girl was nervous. She broke down in a nervous mood, tears shining in her eyes. She whispered, "Everything that happened was through my fault."

"What do you mean?"

"That accident was my mistake."

"Go on, Caitlin."

"Did you know there was such a guy at the dance that day? A guy I like, called D'Angelo. ”

"At the dance of the day?"

"Yes. He ignored me completely, and hung out with a girl named Brianna, in front of me. I wanted to make him jealous, so I walked over to Travis and got involved with him, and I gave him the car keys in front of Mike and asked him to take me home. What I said was like, hey, let's send Tree and Vanessa home first, and you and I can play with you. ”

"Do you think that's going to make Mike uncomfortable?"

She nodded with tears in her eyes, "That's stupid!" But what he did was too filthy to talk to Brianna*. She shrugged her shoulders nervously, "I shouldn't have done that, but I was hurt." If I hadn't done that, it wouldn't have happened. ”

That's why Travis drove that night.

It was to make the other boy jealous.

The girl's explanation also gives a completely new version. Maybe on the drive back, Travis realizes that he's been used by Catelyn, or maybe he's angry that she likes Mike. Did he deliberately roll over? Murder/suicide, impulsive actions, this kind of thing is not unheard of among young people who are in love.

"He's angry with me, isn't he?"

"What I'm going to do is put a police officer outside your house."

"Do you really need it?"

"Of course, summer school has just started, right? You're not going to take the exam right away, are you?"

"No, we've just gotten there."

"Well, why don't you hurry home?"

"What do you think?"

"yes, stay home until we find him." Katyusha wrote down the girl's home address, "If you can think of anything more, about his whereabouts, please let us know." ”

"Of course." The girl took Katyusha's business card. Together, they walked back to her little group.

Her ears were filled with the music of Cambu's Indian flute for the South American band Urubamba. The music calmed her mind. To Katyusha's regret, her car had already driven into the parking lot of Monterey Bay Hospital, and she parked it and stopped the music.

Only half of the protesters remained. Father Fisk and the red-haired bodyguard were gone.

It's possible that she's going to track her mom.

Katyusha walked into the hospital.

Several nurses and doctors came forward to express sympathy, and two nurses immediately burst into tears when they saw their colleague's daughter.

She descended the stairs to the head of security's office. The room was empty. She looked down the hallway toward the intensive care unit. She ran straight and pushed the door in.

Katyusha turned to the room where Miliar had died. She was surprised. The room was fenced off by a yellow cordon. The sign reads, "Do not enter the crime scene." Harper had done it all single-handedly, and she thought to herself, very angry. It's stupid. There are only 5 intensive care units here, 3 of which have patients, and the prosecutor actually sealed one of them? What if there are more patients to be admitted? Besides, she thought to herself, the crime had been committed for almost a month, and since then, the ward had been occupied by more than a dozen patients, let alone been cleaned by attentive staff. It is impossible to gather more evidence.

It's all for grandstanding and PR purposes.

She hurried away.

She almost ran into Julio, Juan's younger brother. He had attacked her earlier in the month.

He was dark-skinned, short, stocky, dressed in dark clothes, and holding a stack of papers. He stopped abruptly, his eyes fixed on her. The two were only four or five feet apart.

Katyusha tensed and stepped back slightly, making time for chili water or handcuffs. She was prepared to defend herself if he attacked again, although she could imagine what the media would have said: the daughter of the murder suspect who helped to euthanize the victim used chili water to deal with the younger brother of the victim who was euthanized.

But Julio just stared at her with curious eyes, not angry or hateful, but a kind of excitement after meeting her by chance, "How could she be your mother?"

It seems that this sentence has been practiced, and it seems that he is waiting for the opportunity to come to say it.

Katyusha was about to speak, but Julio clearly didn't want an answer. He slowly walked out the door towards the back exit.
