Chapter 258: Motive for the Crime
The only thing found at the scene was a spring, which seemed to be of very good steel, and an explosion of insufficient degree could not completely destroy it.
Wang Lei also wanted to find a bow, but this wish was disappointed. However, according to the very small piece of paper found, it can be seen that this should be the bomb's wrapping paper, because it is the same pattern and color as the bomb wrapping paper in the morning.
Raymond receives information from the Killers Section that it was a box sent from New York, a week ago. This is the same situation that was found in Kurt's house based on the mailing slip.
"Fuck, is this suspect sending a lot of these bombs at once? It's a big problem, a big problem. Raymond was in a hurry, in case, he was right, what was going to happen next was unthinkable.
"There's a loop here, and if we can't solve it, we won't be able to solve the case." Wang Lei rubbed his chin vigorously, and he also frowned.
If the suspect's target is Alex, then he should go to the hospital to set up a bomb, Alex has been hospitalized for more than half a year, and everyone around him, including his neighbors, knows and knows.
What if the suspect's target was Tamara? Taylor, then he shouldn't have sent bombs here. Because there is a high probability that this will happen, Tamara left because of work, and the package left at the door was collected by someone else.
Is it bad to send it directly to Tamara's own home? Since the hatred has grown deep enough to warrant the use of bombs to such extremes. Fear. Fear. Why not just blow it up along with the target's family, wouldn't it be more desirable?
The question stumped both Coleman and Raymond, and neither of them had a clue until they had surveyed the scene. Looking at the messy kitchen, Coleman said, "I'd suggest looking up Tamara's background, or we can ask Stephen about it in the meantime, maybe he knows something." ”
Outside, the situation that Coleman thought was that the two women vs. Zoe did not appear, but the three women talked happily with smiles on their faces. threw a seductive wink at Coleman, but Zoe continued to chat with Julie and Yang Qian, but didn't come to disturb him.
Randomly found a nearby coffee house, Raymond took Stephen into the bathroom to wash his face and hair, and after a few people drank a cup of coffee, he finally saw that he was very conscious, but Stephen begged for mercy and was pushed out by Raymond.
With Zoe's coordination, Stephen promised to answer all questions and promise not to lie.
After listening to Raymond's description of the two bombings in a row, Stephen was bloodless and kept asking if the target of the next bomb was himself.
Zoe comforted his brother for a long time, and he finally calmed down a lot and began to cooperate with everyone's questions.
"I have no enemies, and if I had to say anything, it would be only one, and that would be my brother, Alex." The first question answered was Coleman's suspicion of the enemy, but Stephen became the archetypal example of a man who was not shocking and undying.
Looking at Stephen who was talking, Zoe couldn't help it: "Alex is all vegetative now, are you saying this?" You said you don't have any enemies, who did you quarrel with on the phone last time you were in my house? ”
Stephen immediately lost his tongue and hesitated, trying to get around the topic. Several people around him all stared at him, and Stephen had no choice, so he slapped the table hard: "Just say it, what's the big deal." ”
At Zoe's house, Stephen did get into an argument with the caller. That's Stephen's lover. Yes, lovers, Stephen was furious at the face of Zoe's widening eyes.
"I'm a playboy, what's wrong? Playboys also have love, can't they? Zoe was shocked by his younger brother, and was powerless to refute this sentence in the face of how to hear such a familiar sentence.
Of course, no one would believe Stephen's words, and based on the cell phone number provided by Stephen, Cowman let the branch quickly find the girl he was talking about.
It was a restaurant waitress, and she looked ordinary, but Stephen somehow fell in love with her at first sight and fell madly in love with her.
That day, because of Stephen's missed appointment the night before, the girl called to question him. Stephen had no way to explain, but was unwilling to lie to the girl, so he repeatedly refused to answer the phone.
When he later picked up the phone, the girl must have been angry, and the two had a big fight on the phone, and the girl also proposed to break up, and Stephen himself was trying to find a way to make amends.
In other respects, Stephen is similar to Zoe, who can be bold or spend money indiscriminately. Because of his father's rich inheritance, even if the inheritance tax is deducted, the extravagant expenses of the three siblings for decades are more than enough.
"Alex?" Looking at Stephen's deliberate memories, sad and melancholy expressions, Wang Lei reminded him not to forget what he had just said.
Alex had been planning to sue his sister and brother before he was in the car accident, and the lawyer he hired went around collecting evidence to prove that his father intended to give two-thirds of the family fortune to himself, rather than taking one of the three siblings as he is now.
In fact, Hunt? After Deschanel's death, everyone, including Hunt's own lawyer, admitted that he had not yet had time to leave a will because of a sudden illness.
When the family property was divided for the first time, Alex made a big fuss, and finally it was ordered by the judge in court.
In some cases, it is true that only Alex of the three siblings entered his father's film company and helped Hunter manage most of the things, while Zoe and Stephen were characters who only knew how to spend money.
From this perspective, it seems that Alex's request is not excessive. However, the judge will not consider the problem in this way, no matter what Zoe and Stephen do when they do, as long as the blood relationship between the three people and Hunter is the same, and if Hunter himself does not have a will, they can only divide it into three equal parts.
Groping his chin for the beard that has emerged in the past few days, Wang Lei looked around everyone, and everyone didn't agree with this opinion very much, just now, the second bomb that exploded was aimed at Alex.
However, Wang Lei believes that in this case, Alex is really the only one who has the motive to commit the crime. Could it be that Alex's vegetative state is fake, or that there are doctors in the hospital covering him and helping him fake!
"Wang Lei, let's go to the hospital to have a look, why do I think this Alex is the most suspicious." Coleman inadvertently suggested, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that his mind was not on the case now, just to get rid of Zoe, who frequently turned his gaze to him.
Holding back a smile and nodding, Wang Lei greeted: "Julie, Yang Qian, do you want to go to the hospital or stay here to protect Zoe and Stephen for the time being." ”
Before the two women could answer, Raymond said angrily, "I'll go to the hospital, or I'll leave it to Cowman to protect them." ”
Zoe shuddered and flickered, firing at Cowman. Raymond just felt that he had asked Cowman for help a little too much, so that someone in the police department mocked him behind his back as "the FBI liaison officer in the Los Angeles Police Department." ”
What's more, when Raymond was smoking in the corner of the stairs in the bureau, he heard two passing policemen discussing with disdain: "Now, Raymond is about to become a dog of the FBI, barking all day around the director of the FBI's Los Angeles branch......
In the end, the people left behind were Coleman and Yang Qian, and when Wang Lei walked to the door of the café, he heard Yang Qian asking Stephen curiously: "Haven't you been to work for a day?" ”
"I like the feeling of not going to work, I think it's very cool, because I have money, why should I go to work hypocritically and act like a decent man." This is a real villain, and Wang Lei's answer to Stephen feels very interesting.
In the corridor of the hospital, Raymond quietly asked Wang Lei and Julie: "I think the most suspicious should be Stephen." You think, it was Zoe and Alex who were bombed, and if Stephen's sister and brother died, and they had no other relatives, then all the property would fall into Stephen's hands. ”
"Didn't you check that Zoe and Stephen hadn't been to New York a week ago, and there was no suspicion of this?" Julie asked.
The embarrassment was here, Raymond scratched his head, and he didn't know how to answer. Perhaps, the information found by the homicide department was not complete enough, and as he walked, Raymond pondered.
This is a high-end private hospital, and when the nurse who led the way pushed open the door of the ward, the three of them couldn't help but be amazed.
The luxurious decoration inside the ward does not have to be bad for any five-star hotel, the outside is the living room, and the inside is the ward. In the bathroom, the extravagant flushing bathtub and a small wine cabinet placed next to the bathtub are breathtaking.
Is this here to enjoy or cure, Wang Lei muttered, could it be that these nurses are still part-time transformation girls, maliciously guessing the beautiful nurses who are checking the physiological indicators of patients, and the fat man feels that he is evil.
A doctor came in, and at Raymond's request, the nurse called to inform him. Quietly listening to Raymond ask the doctor Alex about his condition, Wang Lei looked around.
According to doctors, Alex's brain is completely or at least half of its function is out of function, i.e. unconscious, but still alive.
Although Alex still has a heartbeat and some reflexes, it is only that his brain stem is still alive and functioning, but his life must be continued by doctors and nurses, and eating and other behaviors must be assisted by nurses.
In response to Wang Lei's question about whether Alex still has the possibility of waking up, the doctor shook his head and said: "In medicine, there are cases of people who have been judged to be vegetative to wake up again, but it is not common, and it is usually in a "minimum state of consciousness" that patients will wake up. ”
