Perhaps the U.S. government has also begun to save energy and reduce emissions, and there are no lights in the interrogation room, only a little light through the cracks in the blinds, making the whole room look dark.

In the shadows, a blonde man sat behind an interrogation table. He propped his elbows on the table, his palms over his eyes, his shoulders stiff and occasionally twitched, and although he didn't make the slightest sound, he could still feel that he was in great grief.

Edward glanced at the blonde man after entering the door, turned around and took off his trench coat and hung it on the wall, before Shi Shiran pulled out a chair and sat opposite the man.

After Qi Zihuan followed up and closed the door, Edward asked as usual, "Name?" ”

"Jamie, Jamie. Arsen. The blonde man silently rubbed his eyes and replied sullenly.

"What is the relationship with the victim?"

"She's my wife, and we've been married for four years."

"Ah, husband and wife. How are you usually feeling? ”

"The relationship is very good, and recently we are thinking about having a child. When I came home from overtime last night, I bought her a rose on the side of the road. ”

"Do you know where your mistake is?" Maybe there was Qi Zihuan, a rookie, present, and Edward just asked two regular questions, and then began to show off his skills.

Jamie didn't react much, and asked puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”

"The rose! Your mistake was to buy a rose when you came home last night. Edward curled his fingers and tapped on the table, his tone was firm, "If a husband who has been married for four years buys a rose for his wife on a special anniversary, and she happens to be killed on that day...... You know what that means. ”

Jamie understood and sharply asked, "You're saying the rose is an excuse to cover up...... But why do I need an excuse? ”

"Because according to the current clues, you are the last person to see your wife."

"That's all you think I killed my wife?" Jamie's voice was a little higher, and he looked a little angry.

Edward didn't answer immediately, but pouted, indicating that there were indeed no other suspects.

Actually, this is not to blame Edward for his preconceived ideas.

According to a research report released by the FBI, among the solved murder cases that have occurred in the United States in the past ten years, the proportion of the first reporter who is finally found to be the murderer is 24.78%, and if the first reporter and the victim are husband and wife, the proportion of the husband or wife as the murderer will increase to 44.43%.

The police should have made bold guesses and carefully sought evidence in handling cases, and it is very normal to use some aggressive little routines during interrogation.

Of course, there is another routine.

Interrogation is like singing, if there is a red-faced singer, it must be matched with a white-faced singer.

Seeing that the conversation was a little stiff, the red-faced Qi Zihuan immediately filled in and persuaded: "No, no, no, we didn't think that you must have killed your wife." But according to the procedure, at least we have to get rid of your suspicion first, right? ”

"Well, I think you can take a closer look at the package that came in during the day yesterday." Jamie's tone was also a little softer, raising his own suspicions.

"You mean the ventriloquist puppet?"

"Yes, the puppet was in a coffin box and was placed right on my doorstep. By the time I found out, I couldn't find out who had sent it, and there was no sender's address on the package. ”

Edward tilted his head, and suddenly interjected sarcastically: "Your mysterious toy is also staying in the evidence team at this time, don't worry, it can't escape." ”

"You don't understand, you don't understand." Jamie hung his head, looking a little dazed, "In the town where I was born, everyone believed that ventriloquist puppets would bring death. I told Emily to throw the puppet away, but she was just too playful......"

"I've been a police officer for so many years, and I've never arrested a puppet in a murder case." Edward's claim of the mysterious puppet scoffed, "But I've had several husbands arrested. ”

"Okay, except that this puppet that came out of nowhere is a little unusual, you can talk about what happened that night." Qi Zi saw that the two of them kept crooking the building, and stopped him.

"We received this package with the doll yesterday during the day, and Emily didn't listen to me and threw it away, but left it at home as a fun little toy. Later, I had something to do at work, so I went out to work overtime, and when I came home, I bought her a favorite red rose to apologize. As he told last night's story, Jamie's face began to show a deep sadness.

Qi Zihuan was honestly doing the work of recording, while Edward shook Erlang's legs and plucked his ears with his little finger.

"When I got home, I found that there were no lights on, the whole house was dark, and there was no response to calls for Emily. But the stove was still boiling with boiling water, and if I had come back a little later, I might have burned the whole house. At this point, I was already starting to have doubts. Emily has never been such a careless person, and even if something suddenly goes out, she shouldn't forget to turn off the fire. Jamie's pupils narrowed, apparently recalling the horrific image, "Just as I was about to go from room to room to find Emily, I suddenly heard her voice. ”

"It was her voice, and she smiled and said, 'Jamie, you're coming for me'...... It was originally just a game-like sentence, but the sound echoed around the room, and it was impossible to tell which room it came from, which was particularly creepy. ”

Jamie paused, swallowed, and continued, "I asked her aloud where she was, and she sometimes said 'I'm here,' and then let out a series of monotonous laughs, still flickering and flickering. It's like being determined to play hide and seek in the dark, but refusing to reveal your location. ”

"I searched room to room, the wardrobe, behind the sofa, in the corner of the curtains, it was all empty, until I reached the bedroom door...... The floor was slippery, and I almost fell, only to find that it was all blood, fresh, and warm......"

"So I panicked and opened the bedroom door, and the bed was covered with white sheets, and there were faint blood stains in the middle." Jamie was already choking, "Lift the sheets, and Emily is on the bed, with her mouth open, looking at me stunned......"

"I was so frightened that I took a few steps back, only to step on something on the ground and fall to the ground. It's the puppet! Its head was pointing in my direction and it was laughing all the time! It's laughing all the time! ”

Qi Zihuan walked around to the back of the table and patted Jamie's shoulder, who was a little out of control.

"No, there's nothing strange about that puppet." Confident that he had found the crux of the problem, Edward said coldly, "You know what? What's really weird is that you say your wife has been talking to you all the time. ”

"But she doesn't have a tongue."
