Chapter 008: The strategy is successful
Reading the file repeatedly kicked Marilyn several times, and Ronan's heart felt relieved.
He read the file again and returned to the outside of the girls' dormitory, ignoring Marilyn who had gone to the grove.
Searching all the way, he came to the teaching building of the Department of Fine Arts, and wanted to inquire about Mr. Tony.
Just then, an old professor on crutches walked out of the classroom, and Ronan immediately followed: "Hello, I want to find Mr. Tony." ”
Why does this sentence sound so awkward, a hair salon smell.
"Tony?" the old professor lifted the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, and when he saw that it was a student, he didn't show any vigilance, and said, "He resigned and went back to New Jersey, do you have anything to do with him?"
Ronan's attitude was very sincere: "I have something important to look for him, can you help me?"
"Of course. Seeing that the old professor was not in a position to hold the teaching aids, Ronan took the initiative to help him with the teaching aids and helped him to the door of the office.
Taking out the key, the old professor compared it for a long time before poking it into the keyhole.
To be reasonable, the body is like this, and it should be retired, I really don't know why I am still teaching.
Opening the door, the old professor looked for a while and provided Mr. Tony's mobile phone number.
After Ronan got the number, he thanked him and left the school building.
He doesn't know the password of his mobile phone, and if he wants to contact Mr. Tony, he can only make a pay phone outside the school.
It didn't take long for the phone to connect, and it was an old man's voice: "Hey. ”
Ronan got straight to the point: "Hello, I'm a student at New York University, and I want to find Mr. Tony for something." ”
"Ah......" The phone pauses and asks, "What did you say?"
Ronan raised his voice and repeated, "I have something to find Mr. Tony." ”
"He didn't come back. The old man told a shocking news: "Tony has been missing for a month or two, and the police have not found anyone. ”
Missing?
Hanging up, Ronan touched his chin.
He called up the options and read the archive with Lillian at the hotel.
After a friendly in-depth discussion, Ronan put his arm around Lillian and asked, "Your picture scroll is a bit like Tony's drawing, I remember he seems to have disappeared after he resigned?"
Lilian's body shuddered visibly, and she looked up at Ronan's side face.
After pondering for a long time, she spoke: "Mr. Tony gave me the painting before he left, and then I heard that he was missing, so I kept the painting with me. ”
Hey, did you guess wrong?
Or is Lilian lying?
But she doesn't seem to be very good at lying, and she's seen it before.
Lying on the bed, Ronan stared at the pitch-black ceiling.
Before resigning, Mr. Tony gave the painting to Lilian, but then disappeared.
Said to be missing, but it's been a month or two, and it's probably dead?
Could it be that Lillian killed Tony-sensei?
Ronan tilted his head, feeling that this was unlikely.
Lillian is a very good girl, and she doesn't even have any radical actions to discuss learning, and she doesn't feel like she can kill an adult on her own.
Or does she have helpers?
Lillian didn't do it herself, but someone helped her kill Mr. Tony, like that ex-boyfriend?
What was the motive and why did you kill Mr. Tony?
Ronan felt that he was close to the truth, but he didn't know what was wrong.
After reasoning for a long time, he didn't hear the system prompt that the strategy was successful, which made him a little big.
What is it exactly?
Suddenly, Ronan's body felt a warmth, and Lillian hugged him tightly.
Because her legs were cold, only the warm upper body was close to her, and her voice was full of begging: "Don't leave me in the future, okay?"
This voice made Ronan's heart tremble.
He sighed and returned to the outside of the girls' dormitory.
......
Following Lilian's roommate's into the grove, Ronan took the initiative to order: "Hold on to the tree and." ”
Marilyn licked her lips, looking excited.
Since he and Lillian are just playing, it is also very likely that they will make a move in pursuit of excitement.
Ronan picked up a small branch from the ground, pulled it directly, and asked sharply, "What kind of person is Mr. Tony?"
Since she and Lillian are roommates, Marilyn should be familiar with Tony's teacher.
Marilyn was surprised at first, then frowned and fell silent.
Under Ronan's repeated questioning, the corners of her mouth rose, revealing a disdainful look: "He's just a well-dressed beast!"
Ronan was shocked, feeling that he was about to grasp the key to the matter, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"He ......" This seemed to uncover Marilyn's unbearable memories, and her face was very struggling.
"What the hell is going on?"
Marilyn bit her lower lip tightly and whispered, "He used credits as a threat to molest female students, and he ......"
At this, Marilyn's brow furrowed.
This feeling of kicking the door made Ronan very uncomfortable, as if he was a cat's claw, and continued to ask, "What's wrong with him?"
Marilyn didn't respond.
Ronan's mind was focused on tracking the clues at this time, and even if he noticed it, he didn't care about her emotional abnormality, and repeated: "What happened to him?"
Marilyn raised her hand to brush the hair from her forehead, her lowered gaze at Ronan, and then fell to the ground.
With a long breath, she seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and her tone was unusually calm: "He...... Raped me. ”
Kicking the leaves under her feet, Marilyn's face squeezed out a smile: "I know, do you think I'm dirty? Heh, I'm not a clean person for a long time, it's my own choice." ”
"I can't forget, I can't forget everything he did to me. I dreamed all night long, and my dreams were full of that disgusting face, and I was no longer a good child in the eyes of my parents. ”
"Alcohol and sleeping pills can't save me, no one can save me, I'm completely gone. ”
Marilyn gasped, tears flowed out of her breath, and her tone was choked: "Do you think I want to do this?"
Ronan felt something stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing her crying, he felt that he should do something and comforted, "Why didn't you call the police?"
"Call the police?" Marilyn snorted, the sadness on her face becoming cold and stiff.
The empty eyes seemed to be drained of the soul: "He has ruined me, but I don't want to ruin my parents." ”
Ronan's mouth opened, and he was a little annoyed that he shouldn't have repeatedly read the file and kicked someone's ass.
Hey, that's a poor man, too.
With her nose shut, Marilyn wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve.
As she walked towards the outside of the grove, she looked at Ronan blankly and laughed at herself: "Heh, they are all stinky men, this is fate, fate!
Ronan didn't know what Marilyn had gone through after her fall, and as she said, it was her choice.
It's just that the bleak laughter made him feel a little blocked.
Leaving the grove, Ronan sat on a school bench.
It took him a while to pull away from the negativity and start sorting out the clues again.
Since Mr. Tony has been on Marilyn, Lilian has always been reluctant to mention it, and it is estimated that she has not been spared.
With a picture of an enemy, it is not nostalgia, but a wake-up call.
Mr. Tony has been missing for more than a month, and the police have not found him, and he is probably dead.
guessed that the murderer was Lilian, or she found a helper to commit the murder, but the system did not indicate that the strategy was successful, so the possibility of his killing was ruled out.
In the end, only suicide remained.
Suicide is further divided into voluntary active suicide and involuntary passive suicide.
Judging from the evil things Tony has done, he is extremely thick-skinned and does not look like a person who actively seeks death.
So, is it possible that it is passive suicide?
For example, stepping on empty stairs, or accidentally falling into a deep well, this kind of involuntary is not a suicide of homicide?
But if it's a passive suicide, what does it have to do with Lilian's secret?
Could it be that Lillian saw him in danger but didn't save him, which eventually led to death?
At this point, Ronan finally heard the hint that the system strategy was successful.
Raising his head, four schoolgirls were walking in front of him.
Seeing some handsome guys, they all showed smiles full of youthful vitality, like delicate roses.
Ronan was a little stunned.
Looking at those smiles, he couldn't laugh at all.
