After repeatedly reading the file and kicking Marilyn several times, Ronan felt relieved.
He read the file again and returned to the outside of the girls' dormitory building, ignoring Marilyn who was heading to the grove.
After searching all the way, he came to the art department teaching building and wanted to find out about Teacher Tony.
Just then, an old professor on crutches walked out of the classroom, and Ronan immediately followed him: "Hello, I'm looking for Teacher Tony."
Why does this sentence sound so awkward? It smells like a hair salon.
"Tony?" The old professor adjusted the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose. Seeing that he was a student, he did not become wary and said, "He resigned and returned to New Jersey. Do you have anything to do with him?"
Ronan's attitude was very sincere: "I have something urgent to ask him. Can you help me?"
"Of course." Seeing that the old professor's legs were weak, Ronan took the initiative to help him with the teaching aids and helped him to the door of the office.
Taking out the key, the old professor compared it for a long time before inserting it into the keyhole.
To be honest, with my body like this, I should retire. I really don’t know why I’m still teaching.
After opening the door, the old professor searched for a while and provided Teacher Tony's mobile phone number.
After Ronan got the number, he thanked him and left the teaching building.
He didn't know the password for his mobile phone. If he wanted to contact Teacher Tony, he could only call a public phone outside the school.
Not long after, the call came through and it was an old man's voice: "Hello."
Ronan got straight to the point: "Hello, I'm a student at New York University. I have something to talk to Teacher Tony."
"Ah..." The phone paused and asked, "What did you say?"
Ronan increased his volume and repeated: "I have something to ask Teacher Tony."
"He didn't come back." The old man told a shocking news: "Tony has been missing for a month or two, and the police have not found him yet."
disappeared
After hanging up the phone, Ronan touched his chin.
He called up the options and read the archive of the hotel with Lilian.
After a friendly and in-depth discussion, Ronan put his arms around Lillian and asked, "Your painting looks a bit like Mr. Tony's. I remember that he seemed to have disappeared after resigning?"
Lilian's body trembled obviously, and she raised her head and stared at Ronan's profile.
After pondering for a long time, she said: "Teacher Tony gave me the painting before he left. Later I heard that he was missing, so I kept the painting with me."
Hey, did you guess wrong
Or is Lilian lying
But she doesn't seem to be very good at lying, she's seen it before.
Lying on the bed, Ronan stared at the dark ceiling.
Before teacher Tony resigned, he gave the painting to Lillian, but then disappeared.
He is said to be missing, but it has been a month or two, so he is probably dead
Could it be that Lilian killed Teacher Tony
Ronan tilted his head, feeling that the probability of this was low.
Lillian is a completely good girl. Even when discussing studies, she doesn't do anything extreme. It's not like she can kill an adult on her own.
Or does she have help
Lillian didn't do it herself, but did someone help her kill Teacher Tony? Like that ex-boyfriend
What was the motive? Why did you want to kill Teacher Tony
Ronan felt that he was very close to the truth, but he just didn't know what went wrong.
After reasoning for a long time, he didn't hear the system prompt that the strategy was successful, which made him a little confused.
what is it
Suddenly, Ronan felt a warmth in his body, and Lillian hugged him tightly.
Because her legs were relatively cold, only her warm upper body was pressed against her, and her voice was full of begging: "Don't leave me in the future, okay?"
This voice made Ronan's heart tremble.
He sighed, read the file and returned to the outside of the girls' dormitory building.
…
Following the bitch Lillian's roommate into the woods, Ronan took the initiative and ordered: "Hold the tree with your hands and lift it up."
Marilyn licked her lips, looking excited.
Since he and Lilian were just having fun, it was very possible for them to have a fight for excitement.
Ronan picked up a small branch from the ground, pulled it directly, and asked sharply: "What kind of person is Teacher Tony?"
Since she and Lillian are roommates, Marilyn should be very familiar with Teacher Tony.
Marilyn looked surprised at first, then frowned and fell silent.
Under Ronan's repeated questioning, the corners of her mouth raised with a look of disdain: "He is just a beast in disguise!"
Ronan was shocked and felt that he was about to grasp the key to the matter. He asked, "Why do you say that?"
"He..." This seemed to reveal Marilyn's unbearable memories, and her face was struggling.
"What happened?"
Marilyn bit her lower lip and whispered: "He used academic credits as threats, molested female students, and he also..."
At this point, Marilyn frowned.
This feeling of finality made Ronan very uncomfortable, as if he had a cat's claws. He continued to ask: "What's wrong with him?"
Marilyn didn't respond.
Ronan was focused on tracking down clues at this time. Even if he noticed it, he didn't take into account her strange mood and repeated: "What happened to him?"
Marilyn raised her hand to brush away the hair from her forehead, and looked at Ronan with her lowered eyes, then dropped to the ground.
Taking a long breath, she seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and her tone was unusually calm: "He... raped me."
After randomly kicking the leaves under her feet, Marilyn forced a smile on her face: "I know, you think I'm dirty, right? Oh, I'm not a clean person a long time ago. This is my own choice."
"I can't forget, I can't forget everything he did to me. I dreamed all night long, and all my dreams were filled with that disgusting face. I am no longer a good child in the eyes of my parents."
"Alcohol and sleeping pills can't save me. No one can save me. I'm completely ruined."
Marilyn took a breath, tears flowed out unsatisfactorily, and her voice was choked: "Do you think I want this?"
Ronan felt something stuck in his throat and didn't know what to say.
Seeing her crying profusely, he thought he should do something and comforted her: "Why didn't you call the police?"
"Call the police?" Marilyn snorted, and the sadness on her face gradually turned cold and stiff.
Those empty eyes seemed to have been drained of the soul: "He has destroyed me, but I don't want to destroy my parents."
Ronan's mouth opened. He was a little annoyed. He shouldn't have repeatedly read the file to kick other people's butts.
Hey, this is a poor man too.
Marilyn wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve.
As she walked out of the grove, she looked at Ronan blankly and laughed at herself: "Oh, they are all stinky men. This is fate, fate! Ha, ha ha ha ha!"
Ronan didn't know what Marilyn had gone through after she fell for herself. As she said, it was her own choice.
However, that sad laughter made him feel a little stuck.
After leaving the grove, Ronan sat on the school bench.
After adjusting for a while, he pulled away from the negative emotions and started to sort out the clues again.
Since Teacher Tony had sex with Marilyn, Lillian still didn't want to mention it, so she probably wasn't immune to it either.
Carrying a picture of an enemy is not a reminder of nostalgia, but a warning.
Teacher Tony has been missing for more than a month, and the police have not found him. He is probably dead.
It was speculated that the murderer was Lillian, or that she found a helper to commit the murder, but the system did not indicate that the strategy was successful, so the possibility of homicide was ruled out.
In the end, only suicide remains.
Suicide is divided into voluntary active suicide and involuntary passive suicide.
Judging from the evil things Tony has done, he is extremely thick-skinned and does not look like someone who actively seeks death.
So, is it possible that it was passive suicide
For example, if you step on the stairs or accidentally fall into a deep well, is this kind of involuntary suicide not homicide
However, if it was a passive suicide, what does it have to do with Lilian's secret
Could it be that Lilian saw him in danger but failed to save him, which ultimately led to his death
When reasoning to this point, Ronan finally heard the hint that the system strategy was successful.
Looking up, four school girls were walking past.
Seeing the handsome guys, they all showed smiles full of youthful vitality, like delicate roses.
Ronan felt a little stunned.
Looking at those smiles, he couldn't help but smile.
