The main component of plastic explosives/bombs is polyisobutylene, which is a mixture of high-performance explosive/explosive substances such as t/n/t, x, and white phosphorus. The United States is the main production place, so it is a little difficult to find the source.After that, the police searched the house and found unused bags of white phosphorus, a few t/n/t and a semi-finished product in the trunk of the Chevrolet parked in the garage.

—Chevrolet is registered in the name of Scarlett Cocker.

The results of fingerprint comparison came out quickly: half of the fingerprint on the residue belonged to Scarlett Cocker.

Stuart couldn't believe that he solved the case so quickly!

The hospital called, Edward woke up, and Scarlett was still in a coma.

When Stuart rushed to the hospital, Edward was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the unconscious Scarlett outside the intensive care unit, staring at the slowly beating electrocardiogram, motionless.

Compared with Scarlett, Edward, who held Scarlett in his arms at the moment of the explosion, was more seriously injured. He was covered in bandages and could hardly walk, but he woke up first.

Seeing him, Edward smiled and said clearly, "Scarlett wakes up, and I'll go with you."

"Why are you following me?"

Stuart didn't understand what he was talking about, so he patted him on the shoulder with a sympathetic look on his face, "Don't worry, your wife is trying to blow you up, but you have better luck than her, maybe this is God's blessing for you. Compared with bad people, good people always It’s more of a chance of surviving.”

Edward was stunned: "...Yes, is it?"

Stuart didn't understand the meaning of Edward's expression. He always felt that the eyes he looked at Scarlett were particularly complicated, and worry occupied most of them.

Stuart couldn't help sighing: What a man.

Just after dinner time, Linse received a call from Stuart.

"Detective Lin, thank you very much this time. It wasn't you, I couldn't solve the case so quickly. Oh, who would have thought that the wife who looks gentle and gentle would have the idea of ​​making a bomb to kill her husband. Fortunately, the bomb was on There is no way to deny her fingerprints. Speaking of which, if it is not for God's blessing this time, the one who is still lying on the bed may be the innocent Edward."

Stuart was very happy to have solved the case. He seemed to have drunk some wine. When he got drunk, he said everything, "Hi~ Detective Lin, why do you think you are so good? You arrived at the scene as soon as the explosion happened, and... ..."

Stuart's chattering voice was haunting, Shia rolled her eyes, and mouthed to the speechless Linser: idiot.

Linse smiled, pursed her lips, and interrupted Stuart: "Wrong."

"Gah?"

"Her fingerprints on the bomb/bomb don't mean she did it. Your judgment is too arbitrary."

"But she..."

"Wrong" is the best hangover medicine, and Stuart is half sober.

Lin Se deeply realized that the New York police should not be treated in a persuasive way, but must be explained directly, otherwise, with their goldfish-sized heads, they would not be able to understand why the murderer did what he did and how he did it.

"I told you that the Cokers were arguing before the incident, and there were neighbors who testified. After asking the neighbors nearby, you will find that the Cokers are a couple who often quarrel. to the hospital."

"Yes, I have confirmed that the relationship is not good."

"...That's just what the neighbors said." Linther said more directly, "Korker's house has two floors, and there are only two husbands and wives in the whole house. Couples who are so at odds with each other will sleep together every day. Is there a bed? The box of condoms on the bedside table is only half left, and there are still the latest used condoms in the trash can. Their sex life is very harmonious."

Do discordant couples still have sex?

Stuart stammered: "You said that you should check the backgrounds of the two of them. Edward is the hotel manager, and Scarlett is the pharmacist. From this alone, you can tell who the murderer is!"

Lin Se really felt that it was a mistake. He reminded Stewart to check the background of the two, but he didn't let him investigate further, "Looking forward, the two graduated from Manhattan University with a major in biopharmaceuticals. Carrie, the two just met."

Stuart couldn't think of an excuse to refute, smashed the jar, and simply asked the question: "Then why did he make the bomb/bomb? Who did he want to kill? Why did the couple become victims in the end?"

"This case was taken over by the New York Police Department," Linser reminded him.

Stewart: "..."

The fbi will not investigate the case that the New York Police Department took over until they hand it over.

The place where the explosion occurred was close, so Lin Se only helped.After handing over to Stuart, he withdrew, so the information he got was incomplete, and even if he made a rough guess, it was based on these incomplete information.

Linse was really worried that Stuart might not be able to figure it out, but he lacked the last few pieces of the puzzle and couldn't build a complete causal connection.

Sia leaned forward with a smile, and handed over the tablet she had just acquired.

The information above is exactly what Linse needs. From birth to the present, it is neatly listed, and it is amazingly complete, especially those key points that have been read and marked in red.

Linse rubbed Shea's head, and took the tablet with a smile: "Edward, who majored in biopharmaceuticals, is quite talented in business management, and the hotel has been thriving under his management. Three months ago, a dead body was found in the water tank on the top floor of the hotel. After the media exposed the corpse of a woman who had been dead for more than half a year, the hotel received frequent complaints, its performance plummeted, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy. Half a month ago, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Edward met New York Times reporter Leslie Clara at the Golden Cafe. Half an hour later, the two broke up unhappy."

"Wait, I remember that Leslie Clara was the author of the report on the female corpse. At that time, she led a group of people to chase and intercept the hotel for a long time, and even squatted at the door of the house until the hotel closed."

Stuart remembered the sensational case three months ago, and understood, "So it's him that Edward wants to kill?"

"Half a month ago, Scarlett found fluoxetine in Edward's car, which is a kind of depression drug. That night, Scarlett took dofluoxetine and was rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night. Edward was in bed with him. Zhou stayed close and never saw anyone else. Due to the fact that Edward’s business was not going well in the previous period, the two had many quarrels on weekdays, which made the neighbors who didn’t know the truth say that they both fought and went to the hospital.”

No matter how stupid Stuart is, he knows that Scarlett, who is a pharmacist, will not be so stupid to take the wrong medicine, so there is only one explanation: "Scarlett did it on purpose?" He deliberately took fluoxetine, hoping to prevent Edward's depression The disease continued to get worse.

Linser nodded. Scarlett's intention was good, but she didn't expect it, "Unfortunately, this catalyzes Edward's desire for revenge. This afternoon, Edward met Leslie at the closed hotel, but Leslie didn't see her." I even came to the community to find people."

The next thing is very clear.

Edward wanted to blow up Leslie, perhaps because he wanted to die together, with all his efforts.

Unexpectedly, the previous depression made Scarlett develop the habit of checking her husband's car. Seeing the bag of white phosphorus and bombs in the trunk, she understood what he wanted to do.

When the two quarreled, tragedy struck.

And this can also explain why Edward's eyes are so complicated.

At the time, Stuart thought, Edward might have thought he was out to arrest someone.Unexpectedly, he was a useless policeman. He didn't find out the truth, and even made a joke. He regarded Scarlett, who tried to save people repeatedly but put herself in the hospital, as the murderer.

And Edward pushed the boat along the way, remained silent, and won the last time to accompany his wife.

Wine, fully awake.

Back in the office, Stewart rewrote the summary of the report, but he didn't know what to write when he picked up the pen.

Sit until dawn.

At dawn, the NYPD had a special visitor in a hospital suit and a wheelchair.

"Hello, officer, I am from here." Edward smiled slightly, his wounded face shining brightly in the faint light of the morning.

Stuart had a lot to say, and seeing that there was no gloomy smile on Edward's face, he suddenly couldn't say anything.

He asked, "Scarlett is awake?"

"Yes, she's awake." Edward's smile became softer.

"Officer, you're right, good guys always have more chances of surviving than bad guys."
