In the afternoon, the police again invited the two children and their parents to the office, and the morning conversation continued for questioning.

"We took the kid to the bridge near the reservoir, and Robert tried to throw him down, but he missed, and threw him to the ground, so the kid had a bruise on his head." Jon told the police.

Kane asked, "Where did you go next?" ”

"We took him to the railroad tracks...."Jon hung his head, his words becoming stumbling, "... I... I don't want to say any more... Because that's the cruelest part...."

Kane pinched his trigeminal nerve, he couldn't imagine the details of the child's pain before he died.

“... All right....... All right...... Then do what you can... Tell us what happened later...."

"We took him to the railroad..... Start throwing bricks at him...," Jon said.

The father sat down in the chair next to his son, as if dead, the corners of his mouth slightly open, his eyes empty. Hearing this, he couldn't believe it, was this his own son?

Jon went on to recall: "Robert said... Just stand there and don't move, and then we'll put you in a plaster cast or something.... Then he lifted a brick .... Slammed into his face. ”

Kane's colleague closed his eyes and turned his face to one side.

In another office, Greck said to the boy, "You denied a lot of things before, Robert, and then you confessed, proving that we were right." ”

Robert, still with the same indifferent face, replied, "Yes, but.... I didn't kill him. ”

All this made Robert's mother, who had been here for too long, anxiously said, "You just tell them the truth, and then it will all be over in a few minutes." ”

After a moment of thought, the boy said, "Jon started throwing bricks in his face. ”

The mother was shocked at first, and then asked in surprise, "Why?" ”

"I don't know, the kid fell after he threw the brick, and then I ran away."

"Does the child seem awake or asleep?" His mother asked very seriously.

Robert: "What do you mean?" ”

Mother: "Does he seem to be asleep?" ”

Robert: "He's awake. ”

Greck shook his head and said, "I don't think you're telling the whole truth of the matter. ”

Robert: "I saw it with my own eyes!" ”

Gleick's colleague continued: "We already know a lot of things, and that contradicts what you said. ”

Robert looked a little annoyed, glared at him and said, "Which eye did you see me on the spot?" ”

"I think I know the whole truth of the matter," Greck said. ”

The boy finally became anxious and shouted at him, "Me too!! There I am!! You're not there!! You can't say you know!!! ”

His mother looked at him in horror, as if she were looking at a stranger. The boy insisted that Greck didn't know the whole truth, which meant that the police only knew about it, and there were many outrageous details that they didn't know.

Back in Kane's office, Jon began to explain to them what Robert had done, keeping silent about himself.

Robert picked up a brick and threw it at him. He said to Kane.

"Where did it hit?"

The boy pointed to his stomach.

Robert does the same, describing Jon's sinful deeds to Gleick.

Jon picked up a larger rock and threw it at him, then picked up a long steel plate. He gestured with his hands to the sermon.

"Where did it hit?"

"On his head."

Robert's mother covered her cheeks and wept bitterly.

Jon: "I didn't really want to hurt him, I just ..... gently"

"So you're trying to hurt him gently?" Kane looked at him in amazement, the adjective 'gently' was rather sarcastic, "Why would you hurt him gently?" ”

Jon bowed his head and was silent.

The father next to him was already angry, and said heavily: "Answer his question!" ”

Jon remained silent until he suddenly looked up and said, "You should ask Robert, who is probably doing it for fun, because he was dying of laughter." ”

The corner of Kane's colleague's eye twitched, this detail made people think about it very carefully, why did he die laughing at that time?

Kane had seen the child's corpse before, and it had been stained with a lot of blue and green paint. The two children may have dressed him up as a very strange look, and when he doesn't look human, people will be more likely to release their cruel side.

On the other side, Greck asked Robert, "Why didn't you stop Jon at the time?" ”

Robert: "I tried. ”

"We don't think it's all Jon's doing, you should know he can accuse you in some way."

Robert: "I know, but I haven't done anything, so I don't have anything to worry about. ”

"Why am I going to kill a child? I will have children too. The little boy looked at them in amazement, as if his theory was justified, "If I want to kill a child, I will kill my own child, right?" ”

Robert was surprisingly calm, which made his mother feel devastated, was this really her child? A demon full of lies?

"I can't stand it anymore.... I can't listen to it anymore....." his mother said with a trembling sob.

Kane pressed his fist to his mouth, closed his eyes and sighed. He didn't want to see the child again for a while, because he was a devil with the appearance of a child's innocence.

"Batteries, why are there batteries? Jon? Kane asked.

Jon: "I don't know, Robert threw them all!" ”

A colleague said: "It's not as simple as throwing it away. ”

"I don't know! I do not know! I do not know! The boy suddenly cried out loudly, and turned to beat his father.

Those little hands seemed to be full of strength, and every punch exerted all their strength. But he was a child after all, and he didn't have much strength in his body, but he hit his father's heart, so that he couldn't breathe, and his soul collapsed.

Kane exclaimed, "Hey! Jon! Don't hit your father! ”

"My dad thinks I know the damn battery, but I don't!!" Jon grabbed his dad by the collar and glared into his father's eyes and yelled, "You think I know! But I don't know! All I know is that he was killed!! ”

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!!" The boy, still beating his father, suddenly put his hands on his head and cried out in pain, "Let it stop, let it stop, let it stop, let it stop!! Yes!!!! ”

A long day is coming to an end, and the police have finally cleared up the story of the 'murder of Benjamin Jr.'.

On February 9, 2011, the trio walked about four kilometers along the canal near the department store. On the way, Robert and Jon beat up Benjamin, who was frightened and crying, and intimidated James into pushing him into the river.

Thirty-eight passers-by witnessed them, but the vast majority of them did not interfere because they thought it was just a family fight. Two passers-by try to stop Robert and Jon's beating, but they hypocritically tell passers-by that they are leading a lost Benjamin to the police station.

A passer-by pointed them in the direction of the police station, but they went in the opposite direction. Later, the two take Benjamin into a pet shop, where the clerk becomes suspicious of them and tries not to let them leave. But unfortunately there was a fire on the street, and the two took advantage of the chaos and slipped away with Benjamin.

The two took Benjamin to the small town of Selmo, where they spotted a police station across the street, hesitated for a moment, diverted to a steep shoal, and eventually came to a seldom-visited tracks near Anfield Cemetery and the abandoned Selmo train station.

Seeing that no one was around, Robert and Jon began to punch and kick Benjamin, and together they lifted a 10-kilogram rail, smashed him on the head with a fishtail board, smeared paint on his left eye and face, made him eat the battery, and took off his shoes, socks, trousers and underwear.

In this way, little Benjamin was abused to death. After discovering that he was dead, the two also put Benjamin's body on the railroad tracks and buried his head in the ballast rubble, trying to use the train to run over and create the illusion of an accident.

After the two left, the body was indeed crushed in two by a train. It wasn't until February 11 that Benjamin's body was found by the police.

One last time to Jon. Callister and Robert. The details of Canville's interrogation were outrageous and could not be made public at subsequent trials.

"Let's go for a ride, Jon." Kane sat in the driver's seat of the police car and said, with his colleague in the passenger seat, "We're starting from a department store, you can tell us the road you've walked." ”

Jon sat in the back seat, next to his father. The street scene passing by seemed to have just happened, and he could even see him walking down the street with Robert and little Benjamin.

On the other side, Robert is sitting in the prison cell of the troubled child, lying on the table and sleeping soundly. The sun shone on the pile of crayons in front of him, and next to his favorite comic books.

Without these bad sins, Robert would have looked like an ordinary boy, no different from any other child. The father was sitting next to him, discussing the formalities with the child's lawyer.

"Is there a train passing by?" A jolt woke him up from his dream, "I know all the trains. ”

He shook his head and finished speaking, then he lay back on the table and fell asleep.

In the afternoon, a crow flew over a row of old buildings in Silmersayshire, and a gloomy dark cloud hung over the sky, with only a faint ray of sunlight shining on the telephone poles. And the pole was plastered with a picture of Benjamin Jr., a missing person notice, and his mother's plea for help.

There was no one on the street, and a few newspapers about Benjamin's murder rolled down the street, and on one corner there were some flowers and a note—'May Benjamin. Baby Jones was laid to rest in heaven. ’

Benjamin in the photo is so beautiful, cute, and innocent, and his eyes reveal the expectation and beauty of this world. It's a pity that he loves the world, but the world doesn't love him.

The flag was blown messy by the wind on the poles, the department store closed for silence, and a passer-by walked on the bridge at Anfield wrapped in a trench coat, enduring the bitter winter wind. The river is silent, and all that knows the truth is the demons, and only the railroad tracks that can't speak.
