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 has never actually seen Professor Schiller kill anyone. He only learned about the grandeur of the previous era from Copot and others. However, his imagination has always been rich, and his smart brain allows him to perfectly complete the details of certain stories. .

There was only one word running through Tim's mind - there's no such thing as a good party.

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

This meant that someone might come, but Peter couldn't wait for him at the door for too long and had to leave.

That was just right, Tim thought. It would be troublesome to have someone following him. There were too many things to do.

Soon there was no movement on the balcony. It seemed that Schiller had finished making the phone call. Tim didn't stay there too long. He climbed over the window sill and returned to the house, speculating on where Schiller might go.

When passing by the window of the corridor on the second floor, he saw that as the time got later and later, more and more people came. A car parked at the gate of the farm, and guests poured in from the gate.

We can't delay it any longer, Tim thought. The identity of the cleaner is a good disguise, but it won't take long. Once the banquet officially starts, all irrelevant staff will not be able to stay here, they will be kicked out.

Tim walked a few steps quickly with the mop, but he saw Harley's figure disappearing in the crowd. Before he could say hello to her, she quickly walked through the hall and ran to who knows where.

Just as he walked out of the door and wanted to go around to the back of the house, he vaguely heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground above his head.

Tim looked up and saw a room on the second floor with half-closed curtains. A figure flashed past in it, but he didn't make any other noise.

Even so, Tim noticed something was wrong. At this time, he was very close to the back door. He picked up the cleaning utensils and ran upstairs quickly. He still fooled the security guard on the second floor with the excuse that it needed to be cleaned, and as quickly as possible Du came to the door of that room.

The door was unlocked, leaving a small crack exposed. Tim turned his head slightly and looked in, and saw a figure leaning on the bed, holding his stomach with one hand.

Tim took a breath, held everything in one hand, opened the door gently, got in sideways, and tiptoed to the man's side.

This was the big man they had seen in the room before. After carefully examining his face, Tim was sure that this was the congressman.

He was unconscious at this time, but it was probably not that he had lost too much blood, but more like he had been anesthetized. Tim checked the wound on his abdomen and found that he had been stabbed. No important internal organs were injured, and the injury was not serious, but so It would definitely be fatal to go down.

Tim, who has extensive experience in murder cases, immediately realized that the person who anesthetized the congressman and the person who gave him a knife may not be the same person. If you just wanted to stab him, there is no need for anesthesia. You can do it, so there is no need. Stab him.

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

"Come on! Come on! Someone is being attacked!!!"

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

It was quite far from town, and before the ambulance arrived, someone was using a first-aid kit to give first aid to the MP.

Tim recalled the figure he saw before in his mind. He didn't look like Schiller, and was probably stronger than Schiller. He searched in his mind for all the people he had seen in the house so far, and finally he was surprised. He discovered that the person who did it might also be an acquaintance he had met.

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

Tim lowered his head, but his eyes skipped the trousers of the two of them. Everyone here was wearing suits and ties, and there was nothing distinguishable from their clothing.

Tim paused lightly, 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 stab someone with a six-foot-long snake spear. The murder weapon must be smaller so that it can be easily concealed. Tim also checked the wound and it should have been caused by a short knife.

The relatively short weapon will inevitably cause a problem, that is, blood will be stained on the hands. Even if the suit is thick and skillful, 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 at the main entrance, so it is impossible to take that stairs, otherwise you will be hit. There are two routes you can take, either jump directly from the balcony, or Just take the stairs by the back door.

But no matter which way you go, there is only one bathroom you can 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 watermarks.

This is not surprising. It has been rainy recently on the West Coast and the air humidity is also very high. The floor of the modernly decorated stone house is marble. It is almost evening and it is the time when the temperature drops. A layer of water mist will condense on the ground. .

It is very thin and barely 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. He has the same height, weight, walking posture and posture of bending over to wash hands.

Larry stabbed the congressman, then hurriedly ran 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!"
