Chapter 300: Falling from the Tower
They came very early.
There aren't many cars in the school parking lot.
Park your police car.
After Dean got out of the car, he stopped Nellie, who wanted to go to the school office building: "Don't worry, let's wait here, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”
Nellie was puzzled at first, and then suddenly said, "Detective Dean, you mean that the owner of the gray sedan may be an employee of the school?" ”
Dean nodded: "It could also be a student." ”
Totti, the female teacher, has a very regular and clean life, and the people she knows are either school students, parents, or school teachers, so waiting here may be rewarding.
Instead of stupidly standing by the police car and waiting, the two came to an unobtrusive corner, but where the parking position could be observed.
As the time of class gets closer and closer, there are fewer cars coming in from outside.
"It looks like we waited in vain." , Nellie said with some disappointment.
Several gray sedans were found at the scene, but the models were different from the gray sedans in the photos.
"Keep waiting." Dean took out a piece of chewing gum and stuffed it into his mouth: "Some students and teachers may not be so punctual, and now that classes are in class, it is not appropriate for us to find someone, so it is better to continue and wait." ”
Nellie wanted to nod her head, but her gaze at the school gate suddenly froze.
Dean immediately followed her gaze and saw an old gray sedan slowly driving into the school, and the model was the gray sedan model in the photo.
After the car is parked.
A tall and plump blonde girl in a short student skirt, grabbing a backpack, hurriedly got out of the driver's seat, ran to the teaching building, and disappeared under the gaze of the two.
"Detective Dean."
After retracting her gaze, Nellie looked at Dean excitedly, "What do you think?" ”
Dean whistled, "Look with your eyes." ”
The thrill of the girl's running was enough to put the cows on the Scottish pastures to shame.
Middle school students in the United States are really not to be underestimated.
Nellie gave Dean a blank look, "I mean, what do you think of this car!! ”
Dean looked at Nellie strangely: "Of course, I called a colleague you think is reliable, and ask him to get the information of the owner of the car and find out the identity of the other party first." ”
Solving a case is the collection and comparison of information.
Does this still need to be taught?
"Got it!"
Nellie lowered her head a little depressed, looking at the new shoes she was wearing today, she subconsciously cocked her toes, and couldn't help but be even more depressed.
I waited for about an hour.
Nelly's colleague finally called back.
Hang up.
Nellie looked at Dean with a serious expression: "Detective Dean, I found out, the owner of the car is Serica Carey, who just turned sixteen this year, is a student at school, the key is that she and Tiger are classmates, they are both students of Teacher Totti." ”
Dean nodded thoughtfully, "Let's go." ”
While waiting for the materials, several more cars entered the school, but none of them matched the model and color, so there was no need to continue waiting here.
The two went to the office building first.
The principal hasn't arrived yet, but fortunately, the assistant principal has arrived.
With his help, one by one Tiger's classmates were called to the office, and Dean asked about Tiger's situation.
One by one, students come in and go out.
From their mouths, Dean's mind pieced together a more authentic Tiger.
This guy has a cowardly personality and is not gregarious, almost does not participate in group activities, and he can't find anyone on vacation, which also leads to him having almost no friends at school, and no one will help when he is bullied.
Except for Mr. Totti.
Her students expressed varying degrees of grief over Teacher Totti's death.
It can be seen that the other party is indeed a good teacher.
"Thank you for your cooperation, please keep the situation of this inquiry confidential, and help call the next classmate in by the way."
Dean √ on the check-and-click meter and motioned for the boy sitting across from him to get out.
The population of the town is not large, so naturally there are not too many students in one class.
There are still two students left who have not yet come in.
One of them is Serika Carey, who was found out by Nellie just now.
Knock knock~
There was a knock on the door.
The three people in the office looked and saw that it was Serika Carey.
She looked at the three of them a little nervously and didn't come in directly.
Seeing this, the assistant principal hurriedly got up and smiled: "Selika, don't be nervous, this is a police officer from the town, and I want to know about the situation of Tiger's classmates." ”
"Tiger?"
Selika's face changed slightly, and her body tensed: "Didn't you say that you came here to assist the reporter in conducting school research and inquiry, why did you ask Tiger?" Hasn't he already been sentenced, and why are these policemen still asking? ”
The excuse for assisting the reporter in conducting school research was naturally said by Nellie's request to the assistant principal.
In this way, the person who is questioned can be avoided and the psychological construction can be carried out in advance.
"We're just making some simple inquiries, don't be nervous."
Nellie got up, subconsciously straightened up the police badge hanging on the barren hills, and motioned for Selica to come in and sit down.
Even if she is not very experienced, she can see that something is wrong with Selika!
If it was before, she might have thought that Selica's abnormal reaction was a psychological impact caused by her classmates killing the teacher, but with the discovery of the gray car before, she looked at Selica's gaze with a little more scrutiny and suspicion.
"I'm not nervous, but I'm a little disgusted when I hear the name Tiger." , Serika pursed her lips, walked over to Dean and sat down, looked at Nellie who had been staring at her, and regained her composure: "After all, she killed Teacher Totti." ”
Good mental adjustment ability.
Dean looked at Serica, who quickly regained her composure, and was a little amazed at the other party's ability to adjust and adapt.
You must know that many adults do not have such a good psychological quality as the sixteen-year-old Selika, as for the other party's reaction at the beginning, it was just a real reaction that caught him off guard.
"I'm sorry, I may have caused you distress by calling you here, but this is also to convict the murderer as soon as possible and let Mr. Totty rest in peace, so next, please cooperate with our inquiry."
Dean smiled kindly at Serika.
It's a pity that the smile killing that used to try all kinds of things for women was invalid in front of 16-year-old Selika.
She glanced at Dean's handsome face, and said in a stiff tone: "Since you know that you are sorry, don't cause trouble to others, besides, I am only 16 years old, if you want to ask me anything, please call my guardian over!" ”
Boy.
This is anti-guest-oriented!
The middle-aged female assistant principal on the side looked at Nellie and Dean with some embarrassment.
Selica's words are not rude, but because this is a small local school after all, no one usually deliberately disgusts the police officers in the small town because of this.
Dean ignored the assistant principal's inquiring look.
He was amused by Serica.
Dean leaned back and nodded: "Selika, this is your right, if you want, of course it's okay, I just wanted to ask your parents why someone drove your car and had an argument with Teacher Totti two days before Teacher Totti was killed!" ”
Hear this.
Selica's pupils contracted violently, and the already heavy nutrient production base became even more sinister and terrifying because she forgot to exhale.
Looking at Selika, who was about to be nervous, Dean loosened his tie, and his face was cold: "By the way, if you forget, I can give you a more accurate time and place, on the afternoon of August 2nd, after school, XX Street!" ”
Click.
A slight sound came from Selica's clenched fist.
This abnormal reaction, even the middle-aged female assistant on the side, saw that something was wrong.
Her face changed slightly and she looked at Serika: "Serica, you"
It looks like it's about to break down Selica's psychological defenses.
That's when it happened.
Bang dang!
The door to the office, which had been locked in, was slammed open.
Several people in the room subconsciously looked at the door, but found that the person who pushed the door was the principal of this school.
"What is the situation, Lady Viatrice?"
He looked at the female assistant with an unkind expression.
Without waiting for the female assistant to explain, Selika's eyes were red, she whimpered, covered her face and cried: "Principal, these policemen are forcing me to ask about Tiger, I'm so scared!" ”
The little policewoman Neliton felt bad and got up to explain: "Mr. Principal."
"Shut up!"
Like an enraged lion, the headmaster strode between Dean and Selika, blocked Selika, and looked at Dean and Nellie viciously: "You are not welcome here, if you don't leave, I will file a complaint against you, Officer Nellie!" ”
Where did the little policewoman Nellie experience this encounter.
She looked at Dean for help, but saw Dean get up unhurriedly and stretched out his hand to the headmaster, whose lips were white because of anger: "I'm sorry, we didn't expect this either, farewell." ”
The principal stretched out his hand, held Dean's palm tightly, and said coldly, "Get out of here, I don't want to see you at school again!" ”
Dean shrugged, "We promise we won't come again." ”
After speaking.
He walked out of the office with a somewhat embarrassed Nellie.
After coming out, the little policewoman's mood was much lower.
It wasn't until she got into the police car that she whispered, "Detective Dean, there's definitely something wrong with that Selica!" ”
Dean took out the gum from his pocket and chewed it a few bites before he said with a flat expression: "Not only Celika, but the principal also has a problem." ”
"Huh?"
Nellie, who was in a low mood, looked up sharply and looked at Dean in surprise.
"Nelly, remember, a good policeman, no matter what situation he encounters, don't forget to observe!"
Dean turned to look at Nellie, "What do you think was the principal's reaction just now?" ”
Nellie gave her a strange look back.
Does this need to be asked?
"Anger!"
She affirmed.
Dean shook his head:
"No, not anger, but horror and fear disguised with anger!"
When the principal entered, he pushed the door very hard, which showed that he had a lot of mood swings after knowing that we were asking students about the situation. ”
Nellie was puzzled: "But anger is also a very fluctuating emotion, after all, if some parents of students don't like their children to provoke murders." ”
This is a very normal situation.
In this country where guns are rampant, people who like to meddle are in the minority.
They are also afraid of getting into trouble and finally being retaliated against.
"But when you are angry, the blood will flow quickly to the brain, causing the blood vessels to bulge, the head to swell, and the facial tissues to become congested, without causing the lips to turn white, which is a phenomenon that can only be caused by blood reflux."
Dean paused, giving Nellie time to digest before continuing:
"Of course, this kind of judgment, because of physical reasons, is prone to error, so when I left, I shook his hand again, and his palm was cold.
This is a typical physiological flight response.
When people are afraid and afraid, the blood will flow back from the limbs to the legs, and be ready to run away at any time, this is the instinct left behind by the process of human evolution, and it is also the basis for me to judge that the principal is afraid! ”
Looking at Dean who was talking eloquently.
Nellie shook her bewildered head and sighed, "Detective Dean, you're the most knowledgeable person I've ever met. ”
Dean glanced at his L3 Akaz School mind reader, and smiled silently.
L3's mind-reading technique has endowed him with the knowledge and application of erudite psychology and micro-expression analysis that ordinary people need to spend decades of research to have.
If it weren't for the fear of schizophrenia.
Dean has long since used the skill points stored in his body to continue to use the extensive mind-reading technique.
"So what are we going to do next?" After complimenting Dean, the little policewoman Nellie re-energized: "Are you staring at the principal?" ”
Dean nodded, "yes, but I'm staring."
I need you to investigate the principal's whereabouts on August 4 and find out if he had the time to commit the crime.
If you have enough time, by the way, investigate the whereabouts of Selica and his family on August 4th, there must be some kind of unknown relationship between the two of them and Mr. Totti, which will lead to their dispute! ”
It has now been determined that on August 2nd, the car that had an argument with Mr. Totti was Selika's car.
Teacher Totti is a good teacher who maintains the physical and mental health of her students.
For what reasons would such a person have a dispute with a student, a student's parents, or a principal?
Considering that although Serika looks average, she has a youthful and exaggerated figure.
Dean already had a rough guess in his head.
"Okay."
Nellie raised her eyebrows.
Strictly speaking, Dean's identity is just a detective hired by Tiger's father, and she needs to accompany her to investigate, but after spending two days with Dean and seeing how powerful he is, Nellie doesn't mind ignoring this.
Nellie also wants to take Dean back to the hotel to pick up the car, but Dean refuses.
Although the second-hand car he drove over was inconspicuous, it was still alone and hidden.
The town is not big.
Dean wasn't worried that with his physical fitness, he would let the principal out of his own surveillance.
It's impossible to drive either!
After Nellie left.
Dean found an inconspicuous spot and waited patiently.
In fact, he didn't expect Nellie's investigation to help him.
She is a little policewoman who has not been in the company for a long time, and it is not easy to investigate the whereabouts of many people without attracting attention, and it will take some time.
Now the case is starting to have a direction.
There are these times.
You may have taken down the murderer.
That's right.
The reason why Dean is ready to target the principal, not Selika, is because he suspects that the principal is the murderer!
Before leaving school.
He also spent money and specially asked the doorman which one the principal's car was!
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, the time came to noon.
There aren't many fast food restaurants in the town.
Most students and teachers choose to eat on campus.
But there are also some students, close to the school, who choose to go home for dinner.
It wasn't until the afternoon was approaching that Dean didn't see the principal and the Celika car coming out of school, just when he thought it would be the end of school in the afternoon.
Suddenly.
Inside the school, screams and commotion were heard.
This movement even spread outside the school, and the doorman at the school gate, after receiving the call in the guard room, also hurriedly closed the school door and rushed to the school in a panic.
"What's the situation?"
Dean had a bad premonition when he saw the doorman's expression before leaving.
He didn't care about waiting, and hurriedly rushed from the hidden corner to the closed school gate, and when he was close to the door, he rose into the air, and a standard and elegant wooden horse jumped, entered the school, and ran towards the office building where a large circle of people were watching.
The downstairs was already full of students and teachers.
There are people who look like teachers, maintaining order and not letting students approach, and there are people holding mobile phones and saying something excitedly, not knowing whether they are calling the police or calling an ambulance.
The onlookers were full of discussions.
Listening to the situation, it seems that someone has jumped off the building.
Dean jumped high on the spot by taking advantage of the height of the people, and from a distance of about ten meters, he could clearly see the scene behind the crowd: a figure in a suit, lying face down on the cold concrete floor, his neck twisted at a strange angle, motionless.
"That's it."
Seeing the suit, body shape, and side face under the twisted neck of the other party, Dean's pupils shrank.
That's the headmaster who just separated!
How did he fall from the building!
Looking at the twisted angle of his neck, Dean concluded that the other party had lost his breath.
He silently glanced at the detective panel in his mind, and the detective panel, which had not changed in the slightest, became even more silent.
The murderer, not the principal.
Thanks to the "Pacini" book friend for the 500 book coins reward, thank you to the boss!
Before I knew it, there were three hundred chapters.
I hope the brothers are still there when the six hundred chapters are still there.
