Chapter 27: The Vanishing William
Natasha took Alexander and Thea to the police station, where the forensic doctor re-stitched up Vera's body and gave it to Vera's parents, and Varian returned home alone.
Only Wu Feng, Wang Xueqian, Anna, and Ivan were left in Ivan's house.
The two snowman porters were also left behind by Wu Feng.
"Something like this has happened in the hotel, we are going to close for a few days, please leave." Old Ivan said to everyone.
"We've booked our tickets for tonight and won't be staying here, but before we leave, I have a story to tell you." Wu Feng said.
"What? Do you think that little girl's death has anything to do with me? Didn't the murderer already admit it himself? Old Ivan said in surprise.
"Of course it's about you."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You'll understand."
"Alright, I'll hear your story." Old Eva sneered.
"Three years ago, a teenager from a foreign country came to Eske for a tour, his name is William, and in the process of traveling, he had a love affair with a beautiful local girl." Wu Feng glanced at Anna, and at this time, the corners of Anna's eyes were already full of teardrops.
"On the day of the girl's birthday, it also happened to be a snowstorm, and after William celebrated the girl's birthday, he sent the girl home, and William came to stay at Ivan's house alone."
"But after that night, William disappeared, and after the girl called the police, the police could not find William's body, nor could they contact William's family, and finally the case ended with William's change of heart and farewell."
But the girl did not believe that William would change her mind, and she had been searching for William's whereabouts for three years, but to no avail. So the girl thought of a way, she would bring a new boyfriend to Ivan's house every birthday, hoping to encounter a snowstorm again, perhaps, the new boyfriend would disappear again like William, then the police would investigate William's case again. ”
"What the hell are you trying to say? I don't want to hear you tell these inexplicable stories. Old Ivan had an angry look on his face.
"Don't be angry, this is just one of the stories, I have another story here."
"Ten years ago, a five-year-old boy was seriously ill and could not move his body and could only sit in a wheelchair every day, his parents did not give up on him, they still loved him very much, bought him a lot of toys, pushed the wheelchair every day, and took him everywhere to play."
"The little boy loved snowmen, so his parents built many snowmen for him in the yard, and after five years, the little boy left this world, and his parents were very sad, they didn't want to lose him, so they built a snowman for the little boy so that he could be with his parents forever."
"In this way, building snowmen became the couple's greatest hobby, and every year, the little boy's parents would build a new one for him, and the couple put a lot of effort and time into each snowman, making them vivid, because they could accompany their child day and night, so that he would not feel lonely."
Gradually, the couple developed the illusion that their son had not left them and that he had always been by their side.
"Three years ago, William came to the hotel run by the couple on a snowstorm night, and the couple received him warmly, if the little boy was still alive, he should be about the same age as William, but unfortunately ......"
"The couple was about to build a new snowman for the little boy a few days ago, so the couple came up with a brilliant idea, maybe they would be very happy if William and the little boy became friends and their son had a "real" snowman to accompany them......
"You're talking nonsense, what evidence do you have?" Old Ivan interrupted Wu Feng, he stared at Wu Feng's eyes, his eyes had turned red.
"The evidence isn't very strong, but I've gathered some of it."
Wu Feng took out his mobile phone and continued, "Officer Natasha has already helped me check the cremation records of Igo, that is, the year your son died, the funeral home in Eske City, and there is no record of Igo. ”
"In addition, those snowmen outside the door are too delicately carved by you, and if there is no special reason, who will put so much time and effort into the snowman."
"Thirdly, I remember that when Vera's body emerged from the melted snowman, Mr. Ivan seemed to say 'It's a pity', what was Mr. Ivan sorry for? I used to think that Mr. Billion was lamenting the untimely death of the flower girl, but now I have another guess: if Vera's body is not found, Igo will have one more playmate from now on? ”
"Fourth, although the story just now is my personal speculation, the most commonly used method to handle the case is the elimination method, as long as there is the slightest doubt in the case, we have to verify, when all the doubts are eliminated, the last remaining one must be the truth."
"So, I left behind the two master workers who carried the snowman, and they would be able to verify the correctness of these two stories right away."
When old Ivan heard this, his face suddenly turned like ashes, as if all his strength had been drained in an instant, and his wife Nina was already crying.
Seeing the reaction of the Ivans, Anna didn't have time to put on her coat, pushed open the door, and ran into the snowman outside the courtyard like crazy.
In the evening, the airport of the city of Esker.
Natasha specially saw off Wu Feng and Wang Xueqian.
"Thank you, it only took one day to help me solve Vera's case, and by the way, William's case three years ago." Natasha said.
"You're welcome, just call me the bounty as soon as possible." Wu Feng said.
"Wu Feng, why don't you stay in Eske City, as long as you stay, there is no unsolvable case here, I can sacrifice it and be your girlfriend, do you want to think about it."
Natasha's words immediately made Wang Xueqian nervous.
"All I can say is sorry, Natasha, Aquaman wouldn't give up his entire fishpond for a single fish." Wu Feng said jokingly.
"I knew you weren't a good person, I just tested you." Natasha said, "By the way, Anna visited Alexander at the police station just now, and there is a hidden camera in the detention cell, which takes an interesting video, do you want to see it?" ”
"Okay."
"I'll send it to you."
......
On the plane, Wu Feng opened the video file that Natasha had sent him.
In the video, Anna and Alexander sit across an iron fence.
"How? William found it, right? Alexander still had that sunny confident smile on his face.
"Found it, don't worry, I'll keep my promise." Anna said.
"I said a long time ago, your method won't work, it's better to use my method to find William." Alexander seemed pleased with what Anna said.
"How did you know Thea was going to kill Vera?" Anna asked, frowning.
"It's very simple, Thea is originally jealous and has violent tendencies, and when I was at KTV, I deliberately showed some concern for Vera, and at that time Thea was on the verge of being uncontrollable."
......
The two spoke a few more words, and Anna got up to leave.
In the camera, Alexander stares at Anna's back, his eyes full of obsession.
Wu Feng suddenly felt that there was something wrong with the food he had just eaten on the plane, and his stomach was tumbling.
