Teresa nodded in understanding and said: "This is also my impression. From late last night to early this morning, they designed, drafted and directed the entire cover-up. The lights in Washington and Sunny Island were on all night. And we just watched Here comes the play.¡±
"You're right." Sean said, "I told you not to believe those two clowns."
Teresa nodded again and said: "I have never experienced this situation before. I can't trust the people who work with me.";
"Why can't we believe that the Bartys stole a miraculous vaccine to make a fortune?" Teresa thought for a while and asked.
¡°Because even so, there are still many problems that cannot be explained.¡±. Sean turned to look at her and said: "First of all, there is something suspicious about that boat. In order to steal a vaccine, you don't need a boat worth one hundred thousand dollars, right?";
Teresa frowned and said: "Maybe they were ready to steal the vaccine. They knew that eventually they would be able to afford the boat and they would get pleasure from sailing. When did they buy the boat? Have you read the information? , I know you have a photographic memory!";
"Last April," Sean said, "before the sailing season came. Ten thousand in advance, and they were paying the remaining amount." Teresa didn't speak, obviously deep in thought.
After a while, Theresa said: "As for murder, we all know that people are often killed for trivial things. As for the contents of the refrigerator, if the Bartys had an accomplice on Sunny Island, it was their accomplice who packed the vaccine. Get on the boat. So what happens? The accomplices on Sunny Island tell the people who are waiting for the Bartys that they are on their way. If there are accomplices of the Bartys on Sunny Island, such as Mr. Eric, Dr. Clinton, Dr. Liu or It¡¯s anyone on the island.¡±
"Okay, let's take this as a clue." Sean said, "But these are all evidence!".
"Is there anything else?" Teresa asked.
"I'm not an address expert. But I do know that Ebola is rare, and the likelihood that the World Health Organization or African governments affected by the virus will order large quantities of a vaccine for the virus looks even slimmer. In Africa. People They died of various preventable diseases such as malaria, tuberculosis, etc., and no one bought any medicine for them." Sean said: "That is to say, the theory that the Barty couple stole this vaccine does not make sense!"
Teresa said: "Yeah! This changes the whole case!".
"There are also those archaeological things, you know? The reason why Eric told us in advance is because he also knew. This matter cannot be hidden from us, so after meeting us, he told us first!" Sean said.
"What's the meaning?". Teresa asked.
Sean said: "It has nothing to do with archeology. It is to cover up something and is a reason to enter the far-reaching areas of the island." At this point, Sean lit a cigar, puffed out a puff of blue mist comfortably, and said : "Remember that clay? That red clay was seen on the Bartys' sneakers and on Sunny Island. But there was no place on Sunny Island on the road from the main lab to the parking lot, bus, and dock that had that red clay, feet. It won¡¯t be stained with that kind of soft red soil.¡±;
Teresa smiled and said, "I guess you got some when you went to pee, right?"
"Can you use your words more elegantly?" Sean laughed twice and said: "I did it a little bit. But when I was changing clothes in the locker room, I found that someone had been very kind and cleaned my pants.";
Theresa echoed: "It's the same for me.";
"We should ask one more person, the Barty couple's neighbor, Tolstoy!" Sean said: "There are some things in his inquiry notes. They are not detailed!"; Teresa raised her hand, looked at her watch, and said: "The residents here get up very early. After we land, we will have some breakfast." go!".
After boarding the boat and landing, Sean and Teresa. Saying goodbye to the two policemen, one tall and one short, they said they would go back to the police station and report what they had seen during their trip to Officer Donovan. Watching the two guys who looked like a crosstalk group leave, Sean and the two of them went directly into a restaurant not far from the beach.
Just as Teresa said, people here get up very early, and now before seven o'clock in the morning, there are already signs of a significant increase in the number of pedestrians on the street. And no one here seems to like making breakfast, because as soon as the two of them entered the restaurant, they found that there were not many empty seats. So Sean patted Teresa on the shoulder and motioned for her to take a seat. Then he quickly came to the bar and ordered some food skillfully. Then he walked to the dining table carrying a large tray.
The two of them ate very quickly. Just after seven o'clock, they were already full. But when the two people justAfter opening the door, Teresa's phone suddenly rang. She got directly into the passenger seat, glanced at Sean and said, "It's Maginot!". Then he picked it up.
Sean started the car that had been parked at the beach all night and headed directly to Tolstoy's house, which was the Barty couple's neighbor's house.
For about ten minutes on the road, Teresa's expression became more and more serious when she answered the phone. She spoke and asked questions less and less, and listened more and more. When Sean stopped the car, she said Lisa said seriously: "Okay, we get it!". Then he put down the phone. Sean stopped the car and didn't get out of the car immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the long-legged girl with questioning eyes and said, "What happened?"
"People from the CIA came to the door. They have a spy on Sunshine Island!" Teresa said: "The reason why the spy was sent there was because there was intelligence that there was an extremist spy on the island. His mission was to find this extremist spy."
Teresa sorted out her thoughts for a while and said: "This person from the CIA suspects that there may be some action before noon tomorrow! But we don't know who the enemy's spy is! And this case may be the enemy's." Fang¡¯s first move!¡±.
"Is this just his suspicion?" Sean turned around and asked: "Then what is the enemy's purpose?".
"Spread the virus! As I said just now, it took him three months to verify. But the spy of the extremists was deeply hidden. It was not until the Battys were shot that they took action!" Teresa said.
"That is to say, our purpose has changed now. It is not Professor Mourning or the killing of Mr. and Mrs. Barty, but to prevent the spread of the virus this time! Right." Sean said.
"Yes! That CIA spy may have known that the two of us landed on the island. He wants to cooperate with us inside and outside!" Teresa said: "So he reported it secretly, and Inspector Maginot received an invitation from the CIA. Just last night when we visited the work area!"
¡°It¡¯s easy to say that the inside should be coordinated with the outside!¡±. Sean said: "We can't conduct a high-profile investigation now! What is his plan? Who is he?".
"Magino didn't say anything, he just asked us to be on the periphery. We are responsible for investigating the deaths of the Battys! When the time comes, he will contact us!" Teresa said.
"Is this his plan?" "How long do we have?" Sean said.
Teresa said: "His suspicion is, before noon tomorrow!".
Sean knew as soon as he heard this that this was going to be difficult! If we were to just find out the murderer who killed the Battys, although I can't say it would be extremely easy, we would definitely be 90% sure, and this 90% sureness was still Sean's humble statement, because he stepped into the sunshine What is the island for? Of course it's the first island the murderer and his family might go to (you can connect to it when you were investigating the scene of Buddy's murder before). And there. Just like Teresa said, when Sean was "peeing", peeing was certainly not the main purpose, but the reason why he forced some urine out was that he was observing the area of ??red clay.
Footprint thermal tracking. In fact, it's not just this aspect, because as long as he is working on a case, the black detective system is open all day long, and the thermal tracking of footprints is of course also open. He can clearly see the footprints in that area, and he then Guarantee. The Battys must have been there before leaving Sunny Island! Because there are a lot of footprints in it!
?Then you should investigate quickly! Why did he even visit the island? This is Sean's cleverness. He was not allowed to show his face at that time, because he found that the footprints belonging to the two murderers also appeared in that area, but the direction they left was obviously not the pier of Sunny Island! What does this mean? Explain that the security work mentioned by Eric who introduced the situation at that time, and some defenses to prevent outsiders from landing on the island, were obviously not allowed. But at that time, it couldn't be said that Eric was lying. It could only mean that the two murderers might have secretly landed on the island. What's more, there was another suspect on the island! And he¡¯s an insider!
Due to this consideration, Sean could not make any move, so he investigated, listened, and observed the staff on the island step by step. The island was very big, and the two guys who directly killed the Batty and his wife might be killed again. Came in and left! As for where he went, Sean didn't know because he couldn't trace it by water! And then, when he visited the island, he found no trace of the two murderers! There are only two possibilities. One is that as mentioned just now, these two guys left by boat! Another possibility is that these two people are hiding somewhere on the island, and I didn't meet them when I was "touring"!
But at that time, Sean also thought that there was a possibility that there were these two murderers on the island.?'s accomplice! Now, after Teresa answered the phone, she said that there were CIA spies inside, but there were also extremist spies, and this extremist spy might be an accomplice of the two murderers who killed the Battys. It also confirmed Sean's theory that the two murderers had accomplices! As for this accomplice, the result of the analysis in Sean's mind at that time was: this accomplice must be an "acquaintance" on the island, or an old employee! Because the words of a ¡°newcomer¡± attract attention too easily! As long as the opponent is not an idiot, he will definitely pay attention to this.
Since they are old employees, where are most of the employees on Sunshine Island? In the main lab area of ??course. That is the large laboratory building that Sean and others visited. What does it mean for Sean to take such trouble to visit areas 1, 2, 3 and 4? Of course, you have to use your observation skills, super-sensory abilities, lie detection abilities, etc., to evaluate everyone you meet. Unfortunately, he didn't find that one person worthy of his attention. But this is not a waste of time, the visit is in vain! People must be good at summarizing. Because Sean seemed to waste his time visiting and found nothing. But at this time, he once again drew two possible inferences. That is to say, we have visited districts one, two, three and four, but there is still one district left! District 5! That is, what about the fifth area that has been established as top secret by the federal government? Of course there will be staff there, is it the person you are looking for? He has very high authority and can enter the fifth area, but he is hiding in it! Probably!
There is another point. That is, Sunshine Island is very big. Although I visited it very carefully, there was still nothing I could see. Is this person hiding somewhere that I don't see? It's also possible. But Sean thinks this possibility is unlikely! Just as he had speculated before, since this person is an old employee, it is impossible for him to disappear for a long time. Go to a secret location hidden on an island, because in this way, while he and others are investigating, he disappears without the police, even other people on the island will suspect him. He was deliberately trying to evade investigation! Therefore, Sean feels that this possibility is possible, but it is not great!
Sean reasoned through all the above thoughts. In the shortest possible language, he stated to Teresa in the car that of course Teresa was an excellent detective, but it was of course impossible for her to see things like Sean did! Teresa nodded after listening and said: "Okay. Sean! Then our next step is to visit Tolstoy, the neighbor of the Barty couple! You know, since the last nuclear bomb five When I was young, I never wanted to experience that kind of pressure again!¡±
"You didn't! Didn't the spy say that? Before noon tomorrow, at least we still have more than twenty-four hours, which is much longer than five hours!" After Sean joked a little to make the atmosphere feel better, he took out his big toad glasses from his pocket, put them on his face, and said, "Let's go, let's hurry up and ask Tolstoy!". Then Sean looked at his watch, seven in the morning, eleven.
Sean and his wife¡¯s black Jeep was parked a few houses away, to the right of Tolstoy¡¯s house. The crime scene was still surrounded by protective tape, and a police car from the San Francisco County Police Department was parked in front. The large truck from the county traffic control center was still parked on the lawn.
"No matter what else, let's just treat this as a homicide case! Do you understand?" After Sean finished speaking, Teresa nodded.
The two came to Tolstoy's house and rang the doorbell. The house looks a bit like a 1960s ranch bungalow, clean and simple. It still maintains its original old-fashioned appearance, but it is very ugly, but it is well maintained.
An old lady about seventy years old opened the door, and Sean and Teresa introduced themselves. Then he saw this old lady staring at Sean's pants. Sean knew that maybe the pants were not washed well. Then the old lady smiled at Teresa, which was in sharp contrast to Sean. After letting the two people into the house, she turned into the back room and shouted: "Tolstoy, the police are here again!"; and then The old lady returned to the living room and asked Sean and Sean to sit on a double sofa.
Then a man walked out, probably less than forty years old, wearing a vest with armbands and beach shorts with coconut trees printed on them. He looked at Sean and the two and said, "Would you like some coffee? Tea?".
Sean declined: "No, thank you"; Teresa also declined.
Tolstoy was sitting in a rocking chair opposite the two people.
The decoration style of this house is that of the legendary classical stuff: gray and moldy, furniture stuffed with clutter, many ugly trinkets, and some ugly souvenirs, and of course some of the children's Photos, blah blah blah. The walls are pink-green.
Sean spoke first and asked: "Do you like the Battys?";
This question stunned him. He quickly came to his senses afterwards.? replied: "I'm not very familiar with them, they don't seem to talk much.";
¡°Why do you think they were murdered?¡± Sean asked.
"Wellhow do I know?"; Sean and him looked at each other for a while, and Tolstoy continued: "It may have something to do with the work they are engaged in.";
Then Tolstoy continued: "A police officer has already talked to me.";
Theresa explained: "We know, sir. The two of us are responsible for solving the case. They are responsible for the transcripts."
Then she briefly talked about the situation of the case, of course she could tell it, but she deliberately got some details and times wrong. Mr. Tolstoy corrected them one by one, which showed that he had a good memory of what happened in the recent past. . It was obvious that Sean and Teresa had nothing new to ask about Tolstoy, except for a few simple facts they already knew: that he was in his solarium, watching TV, hearing The sound of Mr. and Mrs. Batty's boat arriving home. He heard the noise of those big engines, and Tolstoy said: "Oh my God, those engines are so noisy. Why do they use such big and noisy engines?";
Sean did not answer, but asked: "Did you see the boat?";
Tolstoy replied: "No, I didn't go and see it."
¡°But can¡¯t you see the harbor from your sunroom?¡± Sean asked.
"Yes, but I was watching TV at the time." Tolstoy said.
Teresa then asked: "Are you sure you didn't hear anything like gunshots?";
"No!" Tolstoy said: "My hearing is not bad."; (To be continued)
