At the same time, Carney observed that Victor went out. He pushed open the door from the outside and came in, talking to Dixon. "Boss, Victor went out."
"He is very interested." Dixon touched his chin, grinning. "What do you think of this case?"
"I have no suspicion at present. Maybe it's just a couple quarreling..."
"No, Carney, you have overlooked an important clue." Dixon stood up, smiling, with rationality on his delicate face. His cold eyes were a contrast to his smile. "Maybe this case is a warning, reminding us, or another group of people."
Dixon was reminded of something. "You mean someone used this case to warn others."
"Yes," said Dixon. "But our whereabouts are secret for the time being, so they don't know We are here. We're not their target. Who do you think they will warn?"
Carney googled, spitting out a name.
Ralph!
The person who warned Ralph by using a person's life is insane.
Everyone thought it was just an accident. Only Dixon and that two children thought it was abnormal.
Two hours later, the police went down, shrugged their shoulders, and just sighed. "We have to close the case."
When Victor heard that the case was going to be closed, his eyelids jumped sensitively, and then he deliberately asked in a tender voice, "Sir, how did you judge the case?"
The policeman didn't take Victor seriously and casually answered, "Because there is nothing else on the scene. All the evidence is in accordance with confessions, so..."
"Wow, you are so cool." Victor pretended to praise them and told them his doubts. "But Sister Pearl is really pitiful... She jumped down on impulse. She fell down just at the gate. Should the hotel also be affected?"
The policeman were stunned.
Victor blinked his eyes innocently. "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
The place he mentioned made these policeman feel something wrong.
Why was she just at the gate?
Why…
A thought flashed in the policeman's mind, but he can't catch it.
Victor added, "What are you thinking?"
The policeman didn't answer him, just murmuring, "Just at...?"
"Yes, what a pity!" Victor said in a sad tone. "She fell down so closely to the door... If she was in other places with some obstacles, she might survive..."
Victor showed his doubts in a significant tone.
She is so close to the gate.
Why is she there?
Christie broke down at the thought of this, lowering his head and bursting into tears.
Victor and Kurosawa looked at each other, not saying anything anymore.
"Now that the case has been closed, will it affect our program?" said Eva.
She was so cold. In face of death, she only cared about the impact on the program, which was related to the audience's attitude to her.
The police were surprised by Eva's reaction. They didn't know how cold-blooded and ruthless tutoring Eva usually received. After a moment, a policeman said, "After all, it is suicide, so it won't affect the program. Sir, I'm sorry. Can you still host the program?"
"Yes." Christie wiped his tears. "I brought her to this program. She said she wanted to help me. I must finish this job, which is the last contact between me and her."
All people were touched by Christie. He may be the most miserable person here. He just quarreled with his girlfriend, and she jumped off the building on impulse, which was a fatal blow to him.
He even regarded himself as a murderer, because his hurtful words stimulated his girlfriend, because he quarreled with her.
"This delicate woman will die sooner or later, though she is still alive now."
Eva shrugged off, crossing her arms, and sat on the sofa. It was hard to imagine that such words came from the mouth of a young child.
How vicious these words were!
But Eva still remarked on Pearl's death contemptuously, which made all people present look at this seven-year-old biracial girl.
