Drunk and frightened, George just felt that he must not let anyone know that Michelle died after having an affair with him.
The idiot quietly brought Michelle out of the room on the first floor.
Yes, George was in a room whose door Lu Ke didn't open.
The swimming pool of Martha's house is not completely square. Near one corner, there is a small curved pool, which is separated from the big pool by a stone platform.
Simply put, the big pool is for real swimming, while the small pool is for entertainment, such as drinking and having fun in it.
Last night, everyone was having fun at the big pond. Occasionally there would be someone at the small pond, but they would quickly leave and go back inside to continue.
George pretended to hug Michelle and be intimate with her, and no one noticed him. Then he put Michelle's body on an air mattress in the small pool and slipped away quickly.
The swimming pool had a timed water change system, and there was also a water outlet in the small pool, so it wasn't long before the air cushion floated out with Michelle's body and was discovered by people outside.
As for why George did this, we can only say that he is not very smart.
He never thought about the rationality at all. As a muscular man who loves sports and doesn't like reading, George's brain is at most slightly above the mental retardation line.
Being drunk and flustered, plus his brain wasn't working well to begin with, he did this ridiculous thing.
Robert and Selena remained silent. After all, pretending to be stupid in front of the police was something many people had done. It was nothing more than a last-ditch effort to evade responsibility.
But Lu Ke basically believed that George was not lying and that he was really such a stupid person.
Robert had finished asking questions at this point, and George answered "I don't know", "I don't remember", and "I can't recall" to many of them.
According to his previous account, it was not surprising that he behaved like this while drunk, but many suspects also liked to use this kind of words to evade police investigations, so his suspicion did not decrease, but increased instead.
Robert stood up to say goodbye, and Bick walked the three of them to the door.
Piccolo called Robert at the door, and Selina and Lu Ke tactfully went to their cars first.
Bick and Robert were old acquaintances, and they would certainly plead for mercy for the sake of their son George, so of course they couldn't get in the way.
After watching Piccolo say a few words with a pleading look on his face, Robert just shook his head a few times, patted Piccolo on the shoulder, and turned to get in the car.
Piccolo was there, standing there with a helpless look on his face.
Lu Ke sighed softly.
Selina glanced at him and said, "Why do you look so old?"
Lu Ke: "People should not be too stupid, otherwise they will hurt others and themselves. Look at Piccolo now, where is his usual tough look?"
Selina was silent after hearing this: "So, you are so cunning just to prevent Robert from worrying?"
Lu Ke: "... Hehe."
Girl, you are too naive! Robert is not worried about me, but I am worried about Robert and the others! This world is not as safe as you think.
Back at the police station, the three entered Robert's office again and locked the door.
This time Robert did not ask Lu Ke's opinion. Instead, he asked Selina, "Selina, what do you think?"
Lu Ke silently complained in his heart: Robert, are you playing the American version of Detective Di Renjie in another world
Then, the Latin American version of Yuan Fang said, "What George said may be true, but the investigation into him cannot be stopped."
Robert knew what this meant, which was that he didn't believe everything George said.
He looked at Lu Ke: "What about you? George is your classmate, and Michelle is also very familiar with you. Did you find anything?"
Lu Ke pondered for a moment: "Robert, have you ever thought about it? The murderer did not strangle Michelle to death, but suffocated her with a pillow or a cushion. Is there any reason for this?"
Robert thought without hesitation: "It is possible that the murderer knew the common sense of crime and knew that fingerprints would expose himself, so he used something like a pillow."
Lu Ke: "There is another possibility. The killer's physique and strength made her choose to use a pillow instead of using her hands directly."
Hearing this, the other two were stunned, and Selina said: "She?"
She and he are two different words in English, and of course their pronunciations are different.
Selina noticed it, and Robert, the old policeman, certainly wouldn't miss it: "You mean, the murderer is a woman?"
Lu Ke: "If we want to quickly find the murderer and solve the case, then we can only make bold assumptions. Now, I want to tell you something I haven't mentioned before."
The two men frowned.
Lu Ke continued, "That day, Ximena and I were on a small platform on the third floor, facing the swimming pool. When we heard shouting from below, we looked down and found that there was someone on the side of the small pool who didn't go over to watch the excitement, but quietly walked away. In the subsequent investigation report, this person was not on the list of people who attended the party."
Robert and Selena understood immediately.
Someone who shows up at a party and no one knows who he is.
It was too much of a coincidence that a person who did not go to watch the fun but left quietly happened to leave from Xiaochi.
"Who is it?" Robert asked.
"Jessica Thompson is a sophomore in high school, and she is also a member of the Knox School cheerleading team." Lu Ke said.
The two people next to them looked at each other: This is the same circle as Michelle.
Selina thought for a moment and asked, "Is she related to George? Or is there a grudge?"
If there is a relationship, of course it is a relationship between a man and a woman, so the possibility of a murder of passion is very high.
If there is a grudge, then it could be a frame-up of George.
Lu Ke shook his head: "No, she and Michelle had a conflict, but it was not because of George, but because of Luo Da."
Robert and Selina were both stunned: "Rhoda?"
Lu Ke nodded: "Luo Da is a quarterback. He is handsome, strong, good at studying, and has a good family background. There have always been rumors in the cheerleading team that Jessica is pursuing Luo Da."
Robert frowned: "Just a rumor?"
Lu Ke spread his hands and said, "They are definitely not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. At least I haven't heard of such rumors. But there are rumors that Luo Da rejected Jessica's request for a relationship."
Robert and Selina looked at each other again.
This situation is interesting.
Robert walked around the office, and after a moment he pointed at the computer and said to Selina, "Pull out the information about Jessica and Rhoda."
As he spoke, he searched on his desk for a while, found a file, opened it and looked at it for a while, without looking up, he just asked: "Selina, did you find it?"
Selina: "I only have the school's physical examination report. Do you want me to read it to you?"
