You Are The Apple of My Eyes

The other policemen outside the room looked surprised. They didn't expect a little girl to dare to talk nonsense in front of Noah.

Mr. Black even growled, "Nonsense! Do you think you can judge a case casually just because you have learned some criminal psychology?" There were also some people who preferred to believe what Nina had said.

"Don't forget that she's a psychology major in LD University." They all knew that psychology of LD University was an excellent major.

However, what Nina said was so shocking that no one would really believe it without evidence.

If it was really serial murder, everyone could imagine the seriousness of it.

"Tell me the reason." Noah looked at Nina, who looked calm.

"I'll give you an address. Send someone to fetch a whiteboard with the information of the previous two suicides." Nina was referring to the whiteboard on the wall of the apartment, which almost frightened Michelle.

"The previous two suicides?" Obviously, Noah didn't know about it.

Nina was stunned. Then she turned around and looked at the camera in the interrogation room. "Go and ask Mr. Black."

Noah gazed at Nina quietly. He didn't believe what she said, but it was inappropriate to detain a girl alone in the interrogation room.

"I'll unlock your handcuffs and you may go to the meeting room. I'll send someone to bring your whiteboard here." Noah stepped forward, took out the key and unlocked the handcuffs of Nina. The two walked out one after the other.

Mr. Black had been standing outside. He could see clearly what happened in the interrogation room. As soon as he saw Noah come out, he immediately walked up and explained, "Captain Noah, there were indeed two suicides before, but you hadn't been transferred here, so you didn't know about it."

Nina was suddenly enlightened. It turned out that Noah had just been transferred here.

Noah turned his head to take a look at Nina and believed more in what she said in the interrogation room.

"How did you deal with these two suicides?" Looking at Mr. Black, Noah felt a little uneasy.

The previous two suicides were hastily closed, and Mr. Black couldn't remember clearly. After thinking carefully for a while, he said, "At that time, our previous captain, Captain Hu, didn't make serious investigation and closed the cases because..."

Mr. Black didn't know whether he should tell the true reason. After all, Captain Hu had always treated him as his brother.

Seeing his hesitation, Noah said solemnly, "Mr. Black, you are a policeman."

"Yes, sir." Mr. Black stood at attention with a serious look on his face. He told everything he knew, "The first suicide was a prostitute, and Captain Hu felt disgusted, so he didn't order to investigate it thoroughly. The second suicide was a hotel receptionist. At that time, the hotel manager was afraid that the suicide would damage the hotel's image. The hotel manager was also the cousin of Captain Hu, so he didn't investigate it thoroughly in the end."

Mr. Black thought of what Nina said just now and thought it was impossible to be serial murder, so he expressed his views. "Miss Nina says it is serial murder but I don't think so. It's just a coincidence. The first suicide was a prostitute, the second a hotel receptionist, and the third a prostitute. The three of them didn't know each other and had no connection."

"Who says that the three of them had connection? The murderer may know the three of them, right?" Mr. Black didn't look stupid. Why didn't he know it?

Mr. Black felt embarrassed and he suddenly realized that he had made a stupid mistake, so he didn't dare to say anything more.

Half an hour later.

Noah's capable subordinate, Tom, brought the whiteboard of Nina, on which there were the photos of the previous two suicides, relevant case information and Nina's own analysis. The whole meeting room fell into silence.

Everyone stared at the whiteboard for a long time.

They were all policemen of the criminal investigation team. With years of experience in handling cases, they could easily find out what was odd of the two suicides.

No one had ever thought that there was something behind the suicide.

At this time, Mr. Black came back from outside, with the photos and documents of Frances in his hand. At the hint of Noah, Mr. Black handed them to Nina.

With a photo in her hand, Nina stuck it in the blank space left on the whiteboard on purpose, and wrote down the basic information of the dead on it with a mark pen, followed by a few lines. All of a sudden, everything was clear.

After staring at the whiteboard for a while, Nina suddenly said, "In fact, the murderer's method of killing is not very brilliant. He just escaped by a fluke, and then went on killing the second, the third."

If they had investigated the case thoroughly at the beginning, the murderer would have been brought to justice and couldn't get away with it.

It seemed that Captain Hu should be blamed for it.

Sitting on the sofa, Mr. Black couldn't help but ask, "Nina, I want to know how you determine that it was not suicide?"

"A takeaway, which had been eaten up." Without any hesitation, Nina said, "I asked the friend of the dead, who said that it was the dead who ordered the takeaway."

"Was it possible that she committed suicide after dinner?" Mr. Black asked.

Noah said, "No. Water or food represents the power of survival. People who wants to commit suicide won't have such a good appetite."

"Yes." Nina nodded and looked at Noah with new eyes and admiration.

Noah was a little stunned when he saw the amber eyes of Nina. It turned out that the most beautiful thing for a girl was her pair of observant eyes.

He pursed his lips and smiled. He reached out his right hand and said in a gesture of invitation, "I hope Nina will explain some of the information on the whiteboard to us."

"Okay." Nina nodded and took a pen. She pointed at the key points written on the whiteboard and explained the three cases.

"The first victim, 20 years old, was a prostitute. She committed suicide by jumping off the top floor of the hotel on the morning of February 13th. According to the clothes of the victim, she was at work before death, but after she jumped off the building, there was a trace of removed makeup on her face. Moreover, she died with her back to the ground and her right forehead injured, while someone photographed her falling with her back to the sky."

"The second victim, 21 years old, was killed by cutting her wrist on the bed of the hotel on the morning of February 27th. She looked calm without any pain. The victim was wearing working clothes. She didn't take off her shoes, but there were traces of removed makeup on her face."

"The third victim, Frances, 25 years old, was a prostitute. She committed suicide by taking sleeping pills at her home on April 9th. Before she committed suicide, she ate a whole box of takeaway food. She had a good appetite. Her roommate said that she was a beauty and would put on makeup every day. She also put on makeup this morning, but after her death, the makeup on her face was also removed."

"According to my preliminary judgment, the murderer is a woman between 20 and 30 years old. She looks ordinary and knows the three victims. For the three victims, the murderer was not a threat to them. In other words, the three victims had bullied the murderer before they died."

Nina explained the information, doubts, and the psychological portraits of the suspect one by one. Then, it was the policemen's business.

She could only make an analysis, but was unable to arrest the murderer.

With a serious look on their faces, they discussed in a low voice. They made a hasty decision before and they had lost the best time to look for evidence, so there were very few clues.

And if the superior knew this, it would cause a big trouble.

Whether the case could be reopened or not was a question. ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
