Vandeli No. 1 High School is a famous aristocratic school.
A large amount of tuition and miscellaneous fees alone is enough to make ordinary families struggle financially, let alone families living in urban villages. But Brent’s eyes, body, and behavior are not like children raised by poor families.
Assuming that his parents love him very much and do not allow him to do any housework or physical work, it can be understood that he is as delicate and tender as a child in the city.
But during his hospitalization, his parents’ indifferent attitude made Elisa deny this idea.
Elisa walked into a dilapidated yard at that address, only to find a police car parked in the middle of the yard.
She saw the female forensic doctor and police officer who she saw in the hospital that day standing by the car and said.
Hearing the sound of footsteps behind them, the two turned their heads.
Elisa nodded towards the two of them, “Do you have any new clues? I have some doubts here, and I want to talk to you.”
The female forensic doctor said, “Please tell me.”
Elisa also expressed her doubts, “I think this matter is a bit weird. If Brent is Moira’s son, the mother wouldn’t be so indifferent for a few months, but she came out to hold him accountable when the child had just had an accident, showing only indignation, not sadness, I feel strange. ”
“You are right. We checked Moira’s social relations and work history. She got married 23 years ago, and after five years of marriage, at that time she did not bear a child, and later her ex-husband divorced her. She has not been married for a long time, and she still hasn’t. It was found that she had a record of giving birth. The history of Brent is relatively vague. The Team and I came over today and asked the nearby residents, none of us knew that Moira had a son. After she disappeared four months ago, they never saw this person again.”
The forensic doctor said, and then she patted her forehead, “Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Santos, and my name is Britany. I am from your hospital. The forensic doctor of the branch. This is Zach Martin, the captain of the Criminal Police Team of our branch. You can call him Zach. ”
“Hello, Doctor Santos, Zach. Is it possible to conclude that Moira used Brent to deliberately push the responsibility to the hospital?”
Britany nodded, “All inferences are possible. I want to ask who sent me to the emergency room a few months ago?”
“It was from the school. Brent committed suicide at the school.”
“For the specific situation, we will investigate the school again. If Dr. White has other information, I hope you can tell us everything. ”
Elisa nodded and looked thoughtfully at the dilapidated courtyard.

Elisa returned to the villa, it was already past 8 o’clock in the evening.
Seeing her coming in, the housekeeper hurriedly asked Aunt Marites to warm up dinner, and said with concern: “Young lady, is there an emergency again?”
Elisa nodded, changed his shoes in the hallway, dragged her tired body, and sat at the dining table.
“Where are William and Bruce? I saw his car in the yard.”
“The master and the young master are in the study upstairs.”
“Oh.”
Elisa ate dinner slowly, thinking about the things that happened during the day and evening while eating. There were still many things that puzzled her.
When she was almost finished eating, the door of the study room upstairs was opened.
Bruce saw Elisa in the kitchen, twisted his body and ran down, “Mommy.”
Elisa stuffed the slice of ham she was about to eat into Bruce’s mouth, “Did you finish your homework?”
Bruce swallowed the slice of ham and said vaguely: “It’s done. That kind of homework is just so easy.”
“Know that you are a genius. What course did you study tonight?”
“A brief history of the world. Father taught me himself.”
“Huh? Can your father do this?”
“Daddy can do everything except that he can’t take care of children.”
“That said, you go upstairs and take a shower. After I wash, we will talk again.”
Bruce nodded, rubbed her lightly, then ran upstairs and went back to the room to take a shower.
Elisa watched his small figure disappear from her sight, showing a relaxed smile.
Bruce was very self-reliant.
Since he was willing to speak, no one regards him as a child, and he also likes being independent. Except for the lack of strength and sometimes the help of an adult is needed to wear over-the-top clothes, he takes care of other things on his own.
Elisa found that her life seemed to be going too smoothly, and it seemed normal to have occasionally make trouble at work.
The struggle of being a stepmother in the TV shows and novels were not reflected on her at all. Her relationship with the Britch family was simple, there was no fighting. Bruce is basically sensible and well-behaved, and she does not need to worry about him at all. Even William, a man who should be chased by all women, has a surprisingly standard life, and his daily life is better than any other man.
Elisa rubbed her face irritably, feeling that her thoughts today were a bit strange.
She thought that she has to live in a terrible way like in a TV series and novel, so that she feels that her life has a special feeling?
William is a very smart person, and his education must not be the same as those in novels and TV. He knows the choices and how to lead his life well, so that others feel comfortable, and he is also comfortable.
Thinking about this, Elisa simply cleaned up the dishes and went upstairs. She took out the tablet and looked at it for a while.
After the digestion was over, she took a change of clothes and went in for a bath. When she came out, she saw William sitting on the bedside and looking with his tablet.
Hearing the sound of the bathroom door opening, he said without looking up, “Did something happen today?”
Elisa wiped her hair and said, “I couldn’t hide anything from you. One of my patients passed away today, and his family came to make trouble.”
“Are things tricky?”
“It’s still within the scope of what I can handle, but I have a lot of doubts now. I think this matter was a little difficult and now the forensic doctor and the police have stepped in, which makes me a little strange. According to the usual way of dealing with the death of a patient, it will not be handled by a forensic doctor and the criminal police intervened. In addition, The death of a patient who was hospitalized and has no power is not so bizarre. Why do they need to step in? “
