- Chapter 306 Entry Point
Teresa explains: "Sometimes gunshots sound different than we imagine. You know, gunshots on TV are one thing, real gunshots can sometimes sound like firecrackers and sometimes like sharp explosions. or a sound like a car backfiring. Did you hear any of these sounds after their boat engine stopped?";
"No," Tolstoy said.
Sean asked: "So, when you heard the engine stopped, were you still watching TV at that time?"
"Yes, but I didn't turn up the volume loudly and I sat very close to the TV." Tolstoy replied.
"With your back to the window?" Sean asked.
"Yes." Tolstoy was a little unhappy with Sean's entanglement.
"Then you watched TV for another ten minutes. Why did you stand up and stop watching after that?" Sean asked.
¡°Here¡¯s a stupid talk show called San Francisco Hotel,¡± Tolstoy said.
¡°So you went next door to chat with Tom?¡± Sean asked.
"I wanted to borrow a power strip." Tolstoy explained: "After arriving at Barty's house through the gap in the fence, I suddenly saw the upright bodies of Tom and Vidi.";
Teresa asked: "How far away were you from the body at that time?";
"Less than four or five meters!" Tolstoy said.
"Are you sure?" Theresa asked.
"Yes. I was standing next to the arch, and they were facing the sliding glass door. We were four or five meters apart," Tolstoy said.
"Then how do you know it belongs to the Bartys?" Teresa then asked.
"I didn't know at first. I was a little dumbfounded, you know? I stared at the corpse, and then suddenly I understood." Tolstoy said.
"How do you know they are dead?" Tereza asked again.
"It wasn't clear at first, but I saw a hole in Tom's forehead. Like his third eye. They were motionless," Tolstoy said.
Sean deduced that it might only be five seconds. Then Sean asked him to cooperate with him and walked around Barty's house for a few five seconds, hoping that he would recall whether he saw or heard anything unusual at that time. Is there anything I forgot to mention, but I can't find anything. Sean even asked him if he smelled gunpowder at that time, but Tolstoy firmly denied it; compared with the content of the transcript he initially told the local police officer, it was really not a lot, but not a sentence.
Sean said: "You didn't hear the sound of a car or a boat, so how did the murderer escape the scene?";
"Well, there are a lot of people here walking, biking or running. No one pays attention to other people's things." Tolstoy said.
Seeing that Sean couldn't find anything, he changed the general direction of the struggle and asked: "Do the Battys have many friends?"
Tolstoy said: "There are quite a few. They often have picnics outside the house and always invite some guests over.";
Teresa asked: "Do they often go out on boats late at night?";
"Sometimes, I can always hear the sound of the engine when they go out. Sometimes they come back very late." Tolstoy said.
"How late?" Sean asked.
"It was almost two or three o'clock in the morning." Tolstoy said: "I guess it was probably a night fishing trip.";
Of course it is possible to fish in this kind of boat, but the Barty couple¡¯s boat is not a yacht specially used for fishing, and Sean is sure Tolstoy knew this. But through observation, Sean also discovered it. Tolstoy belongs to the old school, because old school people always feel that one should not speak ill of dead people unless they have to.
Afterwards, Sean and Teresa went around asking questions, including the habits of Barty and his wife, whether any strangers' cars had come by, etc.
Until 7:35 in the morning. Tolstoy said: "They were a beautiful couple."
Sean understood what the other person meant and asked: "Do you think Tom has a girlfriend?"
"Well, that's not what I meant," Tolstoy said.
"Does Vidi have a boyfriend?" Sean asked, staring into the other person's eyes.
"Well" Tolstoy hesitated.
"When Tom was not at home, her boyfriend came to see her, right?" Sean asked.
"Well, I didn't say he was Vidi's boyfriend." Tolstoy said.
¡°Tell us about it!¡± Sean said.
He followed Tolstoy in his statement, but the content was not very useful to Sean. He said that one day in June, Tom was at work,While Vidi was at home, a handsome, well-dressed bearded gentleman drove a mid-range white sports car to visit and left an hour later. Quite interesting, but not enough to constitute evidence of a thrilling affair that led to a murder. In addition, a few weeks ago on a Saturday, Tom was out boating, and a man drove a green Jeep and parked in the driveway. In the backyard, Vidi was sunbathing in a tiny bikini. The man went into the backyard and took off his shirt. , lying next to Judy and basking in the sun for a while.
Tolstoy stated: "Her husband was not at home, and I thought that was not good. I mean, she was half naked, and the young man took off his shirt and lay next to her. They chatted for a while, and then the man got up. She left before her husband came back. So what happened?"
Then, Tolstoy said: "When they first moved here two years ago, we invited them to dinner. Soon after, they invited us back to a barbecue picnic, and we haven't had any contact with each other since then."
Sean asked: "Do you know the names of their friends?";
"I don't know, I think they are all their colleagues in Sunny Island. They are a bunch of weirdos, that's how I see them. Please don't mind!" Tolstoy said.
Sean and Teresa continued to have a similar conversation with Tolstoy. Tolstoy was quite talkative. Five minutes later, Tolstoy asked the first question and said, "What do the Bartys do?" What? Stealing germs and destroying the world?".
¡°No, they stole vaccines that were worth a lot of money, and they wanted to get rich.¡± Sean replied without hesitation.
"Really? The house next door to them is still rented. Did you know?" Tolstoy said.
"I know." Sean said.
¡°That house is too expensive for them to rent,¡± Tolstoy said with a smile.
"How do you know?" Teresa asked from the side.
"I know the owner, a young man named Jason Brown, who is an architect. He bought this place from our friend Rommel's family. Jason Brown bought it at a high price, and after the house was completed, he rented it to Barty and his wife. Man, the rent is too high,¡± Tolstoy said.
Teresa said: "Mr. Tolstoy, I would like to ask, some people say that the Bartys used ships to smuggle drugs. What do you think?"
Tolstoy replied without hesitation: "It's possible. They often go out late at night. It's not surprising.";
Sean asked: "That big bearded man, have you seen any suspicious people in his yard or at his door?";
"Well, to be honest, I haven't seen it." Tolstoy thought for a while and said: "Most of the people they associate with are decent people. They drink too much wine, and the trash can is full of wine bottles. Some of them drink wine. If there are too many, it will be noisy, but never play those loud speakers.";
"Do you have their house key?" Sean suddenly asked.
Tolstoy looked a little surprised at this moment, and then said after a while: "I have the key, and I always stay at home, so I help them look after the house.";
"What else?" Teresa asked.
"Well, it might have been last week," Tolstoy said, "I saw a lock repair car parked there. After the person who matched the key left, I went to try the key and found that the key could not open the door. I I thought Tom would give me a new key, but he never came back to me. You know, he had the key to my house. So I called Jason Brown and asked, you know the homeowner is supposed to have the key, but he He said he couldn't figure out the lock change. I thought it was none of my business, but since Mr. and Mrs. Barty asked me to look after the house, I should have the key. Now I wonder if they hid it in the house. what.";
Theresa nodded and said: "Mr. Tolstoy, we ask you to help us solve the case, so except for Sheriff Donovan, do not leak today's conversation to anyone else, you know? If there is another self-proclaimed federal investigation If someone comes from the bureau or the county police bureau, don't pay attention to them, they may be fake. If you have anything, call us, you know?";
"Okay." Tolstoy said.
"Is anyone sailing to visit the Battys?" Sean asked.
"I sometimes see a boat parked on their dock." Tolstoy thought for a while and said.
"Do you know whose ship it is?" Sean asked again.
"I don't know. Once there was a speedboat that looked like their boat, but it definitely wasn't. The boat had a different name," Tolstoy said.
"Did you see the name of the ship?" Sean asked.
"I sometimes like to look through a telescope," Tolstoy said.
"What's the name of the ship?" Sean asked.
¡°I can¡¯t remember, but it¡¯s definitely not their ship,¡± Tolstoy said.
"Is there anyone on board?" Teresaasked. .
"No, I just happened to see the boat. I didn't see anyone getting on or off the boat." Tolstoy said.
"When did you see the boat?" Teresa asked.
"Let me think about itprobably June, early summer." Tolstoy said.
"Were Mr. and Mrs. Batty home at that time?" Sean asked.
"I don't know." Tolstoy said: "I used the binoculars to see who would leave the house, but they came out without seeing them. Then I heard the sound of the motor and the ship sailed away.";
After hearing this, Sean inferred that what Tolstoy said was that they had also used binoculars to peek at Barty's house, so he asked again: "If I let you see photos of several people, can you recognize them?" Have you been to Batty's house?";
"Maybe," Tolstoy said.
Sean nodded, he understood that people who are nosy about their neighbors sometimes become useful witnesses, and sometimes they are like cheap surveillance cameras, paying attention to trivial things and even covering up things.
Sean and Teresa spent another half an hour asking questions, but the results were getting less and less. In fact, incredibly, as the topic grew dull, Tolstoy actually fell asleep during the conversation, snoring loudly.
Sean and Theresa looked at each other, and before going out, Theresa woke up Tolstoy who had just fallen asleep. And put a business card on the table and said: "Thank you, excuse me. If you remember anything else, please call me. Anything will do";
"Okay." Tolstoy said.
"Remember!" Teresa said: "We are detectives investigating this case, and Chief Donovan is helping us solve the case. Don't tell anyone else about this case."
Tolstoy nodded.
Sean said: "We want to hang around your house, can we?";
"Of course," Tolstoy said.
The two said goodbye to Tolstoy. "I'm sorry for boring you," Sean said.
"It's my nap time now, so I fell asleep." Tolstoy also said a little apologetically.
Sean and Teresa walked through the side yard and saw the gap in the hedge. The back of Batty's house can be seen through the fence. Looking to the left through the fence, you can see the harbor. There is a blue and white boat parked in the harbor; Teresa said: "That is the harbor police boat. Donovan sent divers into the water to search for that boat in the mud and algae." Two small bullets, the probability of finding them is very high.";
Sean understood that the murder had been discovered less than twenty-four hours ago, and that the protection of the scene would not be withdrawn until the next morning. So he and Tereza did not go to Barty's house again, otherwise they would have to sign in. They walked towards the harbor along the same hedge as the Tolstoy's house. A place where the two of them could look over the hedge. They continued to the place where the Tolstoy's embankment was level with the harbor, and on the left was the Tolstoy's old floating dock. On the right is Batty's dock. The couple's boat was no longer there.
Seeing this situation, Teresa said: "Maybe the Marine Police took the ship away, and forensic experts will inspect the ship."
From where they stood, they could see the flag stick in Batty's yard, with the pirate flag flying on it, and two triangular signal flags attached to the beam. Sean said, "Can you draw those two pennants?";
"Of course." Theresa took out a notebook and pen. Sketched out two pennants and said: "You think they are related to the case? Some kind of signal?";
¡°They were originally signal flags,¡± Sean said.
"I think they are just for decoration, but we will look into it," Theresa said.
"Let's go back to the crime scene." Sean said.
The two left the Tolstoy's house and walked to the dock of Barty's house. Sean said: "We are performing a performance. Let's pretend that I am Tom and you are Vidi. We leave Sunny Island at noon. It is about 5:30 now and we are home. I turn off the engine and you get off the boat first. Tie the mooring line and I'll carry the box to the dock, right!";
"Yes." Teresa nodded.
¡°I climbed up onto the dock and we started walking forward, holding the handles of the boxes.¡± Sean said, simulating, walking side by side with Teresa. Sean then said, "We looked up in the house and if someone was on any of the three levels on the floor, we could see it, right?";
"Yes"; Teresa said: "Assuming there are people there, but we know these people, so keep going.";
"Okay, but do you think that person will come down to the pier to do a favor and come out?"Due to due courtesy, we moved forward. "; Sean said.
The two continued to go to the second deck side by side. Teresa said: "Somewhere, we found the sliding glass door open. The door being open made us worried and maybe we would stop or go back because the door was not open. It should be on.";
"Unless they know in advance that someone is waiting for them at home." Sean said.
"Yes." Teresa said: "And that person must have the key to the new lock.";
The two continued to walk towards the house, climbed to the top of the floor, and stopped more than a meter away from the two chalk-drawn bodies. Teresa was facing Vidi's position, and Sean was facing Tom's. Then Sean opened his mouth and said: "Barty and his wife walked more than one meter forward, and they died after a minute or less. At this time, they saw something.";
Sean stared at the outline of the body drawn in chalk, then looked at the house in front, on the left and right sides of the glass door, and then said: "They continued to walk towards the house five or six meters in front, and there was no sign that they wanted to escape. . They were still walking side by side, with no hiding place around except the house in front, and no one could shoot the target in the head from as far away as the house. They must have known the murderer, or were not wary of the murderer.";
Theresa nodded and looked at the harbor in the distance.
Sean continued: "If it were in the house, the bullet might be embedded somewhere, and the murderer might not be able to erase the bullet marks, so he chose to shoot the head at close range with a large-caliber pistol, and the bullet fell directly from the exit into the harbor." ;
Teresa nodded again and said: "That may be the case. This speculation has changed the possible image of the murderer. He is not a drug addict or a killer with an unregistered pistol. He does not have a gun of unknown origin, but a registered gun." Good citizen with a pistol. Is that what you meant to say?";
Sean replied: "This is the only way to explain what I found at the scene."
¡°So you want a local list of people with registered weapons?¡± Theresa asked.
"Yes." Sean said: "Large caliber, registered, rather than illegal prohibited weapons, probably an automatic pistol rather than a revolver, because a revolver cannot not make a sound. Let's start from this inference.";
"OK!". After Teresa agreed, she looked at her watch, which read, seven o'clock in the morning, fifty-eight minutes. Said: "Let's hurry up! Go to the county police station!".
The two people then walked out and got into the investigation bureau's black jeep. Sean turned the key, started the car, and headed towards the county police station. Five minutes later, the car stopped at the door of the police station. They didn't The reason for calling Donovan in advance was because Sean stopped Teresa. He now saw that no one looked like a good person, even the beautiful police detective Donovan who had observed with the black detective system. (To be continued.
