In his drunken state, George, who was frightened out of his wits, felt that he couldn't let anyone know that Michelle had died after fooling around with him.
Thus, this idiot secretly brought Michelle out from the room on the first floor.
Yes, George was in one of the rooms that Lu Ke didn't open.
Martha's swimming pool wasn't completely square. In one corner, there was a small, curved pool that was separated from the big pool by a stone platform.
Simply put, the big pool was for real swimming, while the small pool was for entertainment, such as soaking in it to drink and have fun.
Last night, everyone had gone to the big pool to join in the fun. Occasionally, there would be people in the small pool, but they would quickly leave to continue.
George pretended to hug Michelle affectionately, so no one noticed him. Then, he placed Michelle's body on an air cushion in the small pool and quickly slipped away.
The pool had a regular water change system, and there was an outlet in the small pool. Thus, it didn't take long for the air cushion to float out with Michelle's body and be discovered by the people outside.
As for why George did this, it could only be said that he wasn't very smart.
He didn't even think about the logic behind it. As a muscular man who loved sports and didn't like to study, George's brain was at most a little above the level of mental retardation.
Drunk and flustered, his brain wasn't working well to begin with. Hence, he did something that made no sense.
Robert and Selina didn't comment on it. After all, many people had pretended to be stupid in front of the police. It was just a last-ditch struggle to avoid responsibility.
But Lu Ke basically believed that George wasn't lying. He was really a simple-minded person.
Robert had already finished asking his questions. George answered many of them with "I don't know," "I don't remember," or "I can't remember."
According to what he had said, it wasn't strange for him to act like this when he was drunk. But many suspects liked to use such words to avoid investigation. Hence, his suspicion didn't decrease. Instead, it increased.
Robert got up to leave, and Piccolo sent the three of them to the door.
Piccolo called out to Robert at the door, and Selina and Lu Ke tactfully went to their car.
Piccolo and Robert were old acquaintances. For their son, George would definitely plead for mercy. Of course, they couldn't be a hindrance.
Looking at Piccolo's pleading expression, Robert just shook his head a few times, patted Piccolo's shoulder, and turned around to get into the car.
Piccolo was standing there helplessly.
Lu Ke sighed softly.
Selina glanced at him. "Why do you look so old?"
Lu Ke: "People can't be too stupid, or they will harm others and themselves. Look at Piccolo now. Where's his usual fierce look? "
Selina was silent when she heard that. "So, you're so cunning because you don't want Robert to worry?"
Lu Ke: "… Hehe."
Young girl, you are too naive! It's not Robert worrying about me, it's me worrying about Robert and the others! This world is not as safe as you think.
Back at the police station, the three of them entered Robert's office again and locked the door.
This time, Robert didn't ask for Lu Ke's opinion. Instead, he asked Selina, "Selina, what do you think?"
Lu Ke silently complained in his heart, Robert, are you playing the American version of Detective Di Renjie?
Then, the Latin American version of Yuan Fang said, "What George said might be true, but we still can't stop investigating him."
Robert knew what she meant. She didn't believe everything George said.
He looked at Lu Ke. "What about you? George is your classmate, and Michelle is also very familiar with you. Did you notice anything? "
Lu Ke thought for a moment. "Robert, have you thought about it? The murderer didn't strangle Michelle to death but used a pillow or cushion to suffocate her? Is there a reason for this?"
Robert didn't hesitate. "It's possible that the murderer knew about the crime and knew that a handprint would expose her, so she used something like a pillow."
Lu Ke: "There's another possibility. The murderer's physique and strength made her choose to use a pillow instead of using her hands."
Hearing this, the other two were stunned. Selina said, "She?"
She and he were two different words in English. Of course, their pronunciations were different.
Since Selina noticed it, Robert naturally wouldn't miss it either. "You mean, the murderer is a woman?"
Lu Ke: "If we want to quickly find the murderer and solve the case, we can only make a bold assumption. Now, I want to tell you something that I haven't mentioned before. "
The two furrowed their brows.
Lu Ke continued, "That day, Jimena and I were actually on a small platform on the third floor, facing the swimming pool. When we heard the shouting below and looked down, I noticed that there was someone at Pool who didn't go over to watch the commotion. Instead, she quietly left. In the investigation report, this person wasn't in the list of people who attended the party. "
Robert and Selina instantly understood.
Someone who appeared at the party but no one knew about it.
Someone who didn't go to watch the commotion but left quietly. Coincidentally, she left from Pool. This was too much of a coincidence.
"Who is it?" Robert asked.
"Jessica Thomson, a sophomore in high school. She's also a member of Knox High School's cheerleading team," Lu Ke said.
The other two looked at each other. That meant she was in the same circle as Michelle.
Selina thought for a moment and asked, "Is she related to George? Or is there a grudge between them? "
If there was a relationship, then it was obviously a relationship between a man and a woman. The possibility of it being a crime of passion was very high.
If there was a grudge, then there was a possibility that she was trying to frame George.
Lu Ke shook his head. "No, she had a conflict with Michelle, but it wasn't because of George. It was because of Rhoda."
Robert and Selina were both stunned. "Rhoda?"
Lu Ke nodded. "Rhoda is the quarterback. He's handsome, strong, and has a good family background. There have been rumors in the cheerleading team that Jessica is chasing after Rhoda. "
Robert frowned. "Just rumors?"
Lu Ke shrugged. "They're not in a relationship. At least, I haven't heard of such rumors. However, there are rumors that Rhoda rejected Jessica's request to go out with her."
Robert and Selina looked at each other again.
This situation was interesting.
Robert paced around the office. After a moment, he pointed at the computer and said to Selina, "Get me the information on Jessica and Rhoda."
As he spoke, he searched the office table for a moment and found a file. He opened it and looked at it for a moment. Without looking up, he asked, "Selina, did you find it?"
