The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 2964 Leisure Time (Thirty-four)

"Feast? What feast?"

A series of images flashed through Tim's mind, the rainy night in Gotham, the reflection of leather shoes, the dark umbrella, the red vortex crashing into the rain...

Tim had never really seen Professor Schiller kill people, but he only learned about the ups and downs of the previous era from people like Cobert, but his imagination has always been rich, and his smart brain allows him to perfectly complete the details of some stories.

There was only one word spinning in Tim's mind-no good feast.

At this time, he heard movement outside the room. Peter seemed to say something, but soon the footsteps left.

This means that someone may have come, but Peter can't stand at the door and wait for him for too long, so he has to leave.

This is just right, Tim thought, it's troublesome to have someone following him, there are too many things he can't do.

Soon there was no movement on the balcony. It seemed that Schiller had finished the call. Tim didn't stay there for too long. He climbed over the windowsill and returned to the house, speculating on Schiller's possible whereabouts.

When passing by the window of the second-floor corridor, he saw that as time went by, more and more people came. Cars stopped at the farm gate and guests poured in from the gate.

It couldn't be delayed any longer, Tim thought. The identity of a cleaner was a good disguise, but it wouldn't last long. Once the banquet officially started, all irrelevant staff members could not stay here, and they would be driven out.

Tim took a few quick steps with the mop, but saw a fleeting figure of Harley in the crowd. He didn't have time to greet her, and she quickly crossed the hall and ran away.

Just as he walked out of the gate and wanted to go around the back of the house, he vaguely heard the sound of a heavy object falling on his head.

Tim looked up and saw a room on the second floor with curtains half-closed. A figure flashed through it, but no other sound was made.

Even so, Tim also noticed something was wrong. He was very close to the back door at this time. He carried the cleaning utensils and ran upstairs quickly. He used the excuse that he needed to clean to fool the security guard on the second floor and came to the door of the room as quickly as possible.

The door was not locked, revealing a small gap. Tim tilted his head slightly and looked inside. He saw a figure leaning against the bed, with one hand covering his stomach.

Tim took a breath, took all the things in one hand, opened the door gently, and after getting in sideways, he tiptoed to the side of the man.

This was the big man they saw in the room before. After carefully looking at his face, Tim was sure that this was the congressman.

He was unconscious at this time, but it should not be due to excessive blood loss. It was more like being anesthetized. Tim checked the wound on his abdomen. It should be that he was stabbed. No important internal organs were injured. The injury was not serious, but it would definitely be fatal if he continued like this.

Tim, who has rich experience in murder cases, immediately realized that the person who anesthetized the congressman and the person who stabbed him might not be the same person. If they just wanted to stab him, there was no need to anesthetize him. If they could do it, there was no need to stab him.

This was quite interesting, but Tim didn't have much time left. He immediately took off the congressman's coat, tied it around his abdomen to stop the bleeding, and rushed out the door with cleaning tools, shouting.

"Come on! Come on! Someone's been attacked!!!"

The security guard rushed into the room where Tim was, and the congressman was quickly helped out. As expected, the FBI agent followed closely behind, and Tim saw Steve and Jason.

This place is far from the town. Before the ambulance arrived, someone was using a first aid kit to give the congressman first aid.

Tim recalled the figure he had seen before in his mind. It didn't look like Schiller, and he should be stronger than Schiller. He searched in his mind for all the people he had seen in the house so far, and finally found to his surprise that the one who did it might also be an acquaintance he had seen.

When he thought of this, he quickly stepped back and blended into the crowd, because Matt was coming with his students.

Tim lowered his head, but his eyes passed over the trouser legs of the two people. Everyone here was dressed in suits and leather shoes, and he couldn't tell anything from their clothes.

Tim paused slightly, walked around the back of the crowd, and came to the bathroom on the first floor near the back door.

In this situation, no one could use a snake spear to stab someone. The murder weapon must be smaller, so that it is easier to hide. Tim also checked the wound, which should be caused by a short knife.

The weapon is relatively short, which will inevitably cause a problem, that is, blood will be on the hands. Even if the suit is thicker and there are skills, the part close to the abdomen cannot be clean.

If there is blood, you have to wash your hands. The crowd came up from the stairs of the main entrance, so it is impossible to take that staircase, otherwise you will bump into it. There are two routes to take, either jump directly from the balcony or take the stairs of the back door.

But no matter which way you go, there is only one bathroom to choose, and that is the bathroom near the back door.

Tim walked in, picked up the cleaning sign next to the door and put it at the door to prevent anyone from disturbing him. He looked down at the floor and saw obvious footprints with water marks.

This is not surprising. The West Coast has been rainy recently and the air humidity is very high. The floor of the modern stone cottage is marble. Now it is almost evening and the temperature is dropping. A layer of water mist will condense on the ground.

It is very thin and hardly affects walking, but it will leave footprints.

Tim found two footprints under the sink.

If nothing goes wrong, these were left by Matt's student named Larry. Their height, weight, walking posture and posture of bending over to wash hands were exactly the same.

Larry stabbed the congressman, then hurried away, went down the stairs on the other side of the corridor, entered the nearest bathroom, washed the blood off his hands, walked back through the corridor to the main entrance, and went up to the second floor with Matt from the main entrance stairs. The movement trajectory and timeline are completely reasonable.

The motive for the crime is not clear for the time being, but this injury is impossible to kill the congressman. If Larry did it, he couldn't have failed to notice that the congressman was anesthetized. If he wanted to kill someone, he could have just stabbed him in the neck.

This shows that Larry didn't want to kill him, and the stabbing could only be to vent his anger.

That's right, Tim thought, it was because Larry found out that the congressman was anesthetized and knew that no matter what he did, the congressman would not be able to find out, so he stabbed him.

Do the two of them have a grudge? Tim thought of Matt's previous comments on Larry. He was obviously a narcissistic person who was self-centered and had a bad temper.

If the two of them didn't know each other before, it was possible that the conflict arose after they came here.

Combined with the information Tim had learned before, the congressman wanted to win over this internet celebrity lawyer to build momentum for them. The process of winning over might not be so pleasant, or it might not be an exaggeration to say that it was a threat. Larry stabbed the congressman in a rage.

But there was another point that was hard to explain. That was how did Larry know that the congressman was anesthetized? How come the anesthetic took effect just when he went there, causing the congressman to fall into a complete coma?

It was dangerous to go there early or late. If he went too early, the congressman was not anesthetized, and his face was seen, he would definitely be the primary suspect. If he went too late, the congressman would wake up and it would be impossible for him to do anything.

And why did Larry trust the effect of anesthetics so much? What if the person who took the drug had too little, and he woke up with pain when he stabbed him?

Although he is an Internet celebrity, the other party is not a pushover to become a congressman. If it is just a crime committed in the heat of the moment, there are too many variables. For his own career prospects, he cannot be so stupid.

Then it must be premeditated, which means that the person who drugged the congressman and the person who stabbed him are in the same group.

As for why they were divided into two people, it was probably to clear the suspicion, so that they could make separate alibis. The person who stabbed when drugging had an alibi, and the person who drugged when stabbing had another alibi.

Although this little trick can't fool detectives like Batman, if it is done cleverly, it is still no problem to fool the FBI.

Who will cooperate with Larry?

Tim felt that the answer was obvious. Who else could it be except the teacher of this Internet celebrity lawyer?

But Matt should be a superhero. He would not commit murder unless the purpose of him and Larry doing this was not just to hurt the congressman, but to benefit the congressman.

Judging from the congressman's current condition, he is unlikely to be in any danger of life. He will be fine after a month of rest. So, Matt and his apprentice just want the congressman not to show up recently?

No, no, no, if that's the case, there's no need to do it at a banquet where people are coming and going. It can be done tomorrow in a place where there are no people. It's safer and less likely to be discovered.

Then they want the congressman to leave here early.

But why?

Tim didn't have time to think too much. He was called over by the FBI agent for questioning. After all, he was the first to discover the crime scene.

Since he dared to shout out, Tim was naturally prepared. He told the agent calmly that he was just a cleaner. He came to the second floor to clean and found that there was a door open. He wanted to remind the other party. He took a look through the crack of the door and found someone lying beside the bed, and then shouted out.

The agent did not raise any objections, because after all, the person was not dead, but only slightly injured. There was no such thing as the person who discovered the crime scene being the murderer, because the earlier the crime scene was discovered, the higher the chance that the other party would survive. The murderer must have hoped that the later the discovery would be, the better.

However, the agent still dutifully asked some details, and Tim answered fluently and performed flawlessly, so he was not suspected.

Not long after, the ambulance came. Tim watched a group of people send the congressman to the ambulance, and then looked at Matt and his apprentice who were greeting the people next to him, and narrowed his eyes.

At this moment, he heard another thump behind the wall, and he turned his head suddenly and looked out the window.

The scream broke the tranquility of the farm.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

"Someone jumped from the building, someone jumped from the building! Come quickly! Mr. Lant fell from the third floor!"
