14 Clues

The conversation between the saint and Taylor was put on hold, and Sissi stood on the front porch of the villa with a sea view on a bad face, watching the car grow farther and farther away until it disappeared completely.

The seats in the car were reversed, Mike was thrown into the passenger seat, and in the back seat, Zach sat in the east seat to avoid the sun, and Taylor and Weiss sat next to each other.

Although Wes's expression has not been very natural, he still gives a lot of details about the clues that the police know.

The clues are dominated by Old Mel. Yesterday was Saturday, and Teddy stayed at his friend, Nathan's house, as he usually did on weekends, to 'do his homework'. When Teddy leaves, Nathan's parents inform Mel Sr. to make a report. But because everyone knows each other very well, and there is no one in the southern area who doesn't know Teddy, the fat boy, so neither of them feels the need to pick up and drop off.

But even with Teddy's short legs, the most twenty minutes or so of the foot was dragged for more than an hour, and Old Mel began to worry, but at this time it had nothing to do with the disappearance, Old Mel just made a few phone calls and asked the people around him who didn't see the fat bear kid sneaking away to play.

According to the residential branch of the South Side, Mel's phone has covered a wide enough area! But even if the replies are negative, Mel's concern is more about the more realistic thing that his grandson will be beaten up by his mother if he doesn't come back.

Old Mel's worries about reality have no connection with whether anyone will come to his house for dinner. Wes, who had gone to Old Mel's house for dinner, used his police instincts to amplify his fears.

Weiss has a good reason, a fat boy that everyone knows will not hide without a trace.

When the disappearance was actually raised, Wes took advantage of the few rights he had to call the police for the sudden transfer to the worried old Mel, and the search was only then that really began.

The only clues to the police are the Nathan family, who finally confirmed Teddy's departure. Adult. All Nathan's parents were able to give the police was the exact time Teddy left their house, but Nathan, who was also a child, gave clues about the beach.

He said they had been talking about going to the beach, but the parents never agreed to let them go to such a dangerous place. Wes's expression was a little downcast, "Nathan, the kid, is completely unaware that his friend is missing. When we asked him, he was still throwing a tantrum, and if Teddy went alone, we would break up with him. ”

Wes shook his head, "It was only when the adults realized that the matter was a strict lesson for him, that he reacted and began to cry uncontrollably. ”

It seems that he is also a boy with the attributes of a bear child. But now is not the time to lament this, the goal now is to revisit Nathan's house.

"The other party is a child. "I thought Taylor would say anything about the Virgin, not at all. "So you made a stupid mistake. ”

Taylor is not a pretty woman in the usual sense, although young, her skin is obviously overexposed to the sun, and only a very light makeup hides the fine blemishes. When you don't smile, your stiff face makes you want to avoid it. Just like it is now.

"Crying is the cheapest weapon for children. Taylor grimaced and shook his head, "Gaining attention, gaining sympathy, and escaping responsibility, this cheap weapon is the most practical thing." ”

Wes frowned, but the instincts of the ex-soldier wouldn't allow him to confront the woman.

"You didn't even ask Nathan about it. Why the beach. Taylor glanced at Wes, "You're a soldier." You should know better than those police officers that you shouldn't be swayed by the other party's affection! It's still such a cheap weapon! You're far more advanced than it! Since it's an interrogation, you have to ......."

Taylor suddenly stopped talking, and then the not-so-pretty woman became pretty, for she smiled, and smiled a little shyly. "Sorry, get used to it. Not an interrogation, just an inquiry, hehe. ”

Taylor, who briefly revealed his personality, stopped talking, and quietly leaned back in his seat and kept smiling.

But she was right. Whether it's whether the police are swayed by a child, it's okay. Or a deliberate ignorance of the severity of the situation, after all, the willfulness of a child who wants to go to the beach is not comparable to disappearance.

As a result, the police searched for the beach as the only clue and also found Teddy's belongings, proving the beach clue correct. However, if you completely put aside the subjective impression of the child in people's hearts and only treat Teddy as a victim, the beach is the scene of the murder. What is the only person who knows the scene of the murder? It is the suspect.

So let me ask the question, why did the victim go to the scene of the murder in the first place? Is it just because the victim is willful and playful? Who confirmed this? A suspect who used the cheapest weapon to sway a group of adult lovers?

Having said that, please completely throw away the subjective impression in your heart. The police failed to do it, and Taylor did.

Taylor had fulfilled her word, and she used her expertise to find new clues among the only clues. Just ask again, definitely can't leave it to her to do, she has been exposed, a former military internal auditor who can say that a child's crying is a weapon, and now a college witcher, Taylor's 'interrogation' may make the other party cry even more.

Zach tilted his head sideways, leaned forward to pass Wes, who was starting to think about what he would ask, smiled at Taylor, and abruptly opened the subject.

"Taylor, you're really impressive to me. The vampire raised an eyebrow, "Just curious, did you use your old profession to treat Kyle?" Zach narrowed his eyes, "I don't care about things that have become facts, but I'm still curious how my pupil of charm was lifted." ”

"Let me put it this way. Taylor still smiled, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Zack, "I've used all my majors, whether it's a soldier, or a witcher." I'm the one who was impressed. So, I jumped at the chance and came to Barton, hoping to get to know you, the owner of the funeral home in the easternmost city. ”

"It's been a real privilege. Zack's smile remained the same, he leaned back and looked out the window as the car slowly stopped, "Arrived?"

"It's here. Wes lifted his upper body, put his arm over Zach, opened the car door, turned his head to look at Taylor, who was also about to get out of the car, frowned, and said in an unnatural tone, "You are in the car, I will look for you if I have a problem." Then he looked at Zach and his tone relaxed a lot, "You can accompany me." ”

Zach smiled and nodded, got out of the car sideways, replenished a little snack first, sorted out his appearance, and let Weiss behind him, "You're a cop, you go first." ”

Wes smiled indistinctly, nodded, and walked onto the front porch of Nathan's house. (To be continued......)
