She had already guessed that Bobby Lameer would know about her true identity.
When she left the Lameer residence that day, Bobby had thrown a tantrum when he’d returned home.
His mother must have said a lot of bad things about her, including revealing her true identity.
“I know that you had a bit of an incident, so I came to help you as soon as I could. Do you hate the fact that I’m a psychologist now?” Stella Grace joked.
“Help me?” Bobby snorted. “Just how much did my father pay you?”
“Your father used to hire me as a contracted psychologist. I have since already earned my salary. This time, I didn’t get anything from him,” Stella said firmly, looking at Bobby intently.
He carefully observed her expression to see if he could discern any hint of untruth, but there wasn’t any.
“Did you really come here to save me because you care about me?” Bobby was a little shaken.
“The law states that one is innocent until proven guilty. As long as you did not do it, I will try my best to prove it. As long as you are innocent, I will not let others accuse you unfairly.”
“Teacher Grace, I didn’t kill anyone. I really didn’t kill anyone.” He finally managed to break through his mental walls.
“Why were you at the crime scene then?” Stella asked.
“Not only did my mother deliberately released the classmates who bullied me, but she also dismissed you. I was really angry, so I wanted to do something to vent my anger. All I did was puncture their car tires.
They knew it was me, so they encouraged Mila to call the police and report that I had r*ped her.
On the day of the incident, I wanted to warn Mila, so I opened the door to her house. When I opened it, I found that there was a strong smell of blood. I also heard Mila crying.
I realized that something had happened to them, so I sneaked in and pushed the door to Mila’s room open. I saw Mila lying on the bed, naked, but her private part was stuffed with something white that looked like bubbles. Her mouth was full of white foam too, and her throat was bleeding.
I pushed the door to the room next to hers.
Her mother was already dead on the bed. Her leg was amputated and it was so scary…
I thought that since her mother was here, her father should also be there. I was afraid that I’d leave fingerprints behind, so I wiped their doors clean.
Finally, I found Mila’s naked father in the bathroom.
His private organ was cut off, but…” Bobby paused and did not speak.
“But what?” Stella’s intuition told her that this was an important clue.
Bobby glanced at Stella and then looked at the food that she had brought and continued, “There was a mobile phone in the bath, and there were several videos in it, all of which were very bloody. I took the phone.
I came out from Mila’s house and ran into some people. I guess they must’ve thought that I was the murderer. Sure enough, they reported me.”
“Then why didn’t you say anything? You have to know that the whole situation would only be disadvantageous for you if you don’t say anything,” Stella frowned and said.
“The way the murderer had committed the crime is very special, and their mental state is also very good. They are a bunch of professionals, so I just wanted to see if those policemen could find them. That was why I kept my mouth.”
Stella saw the glint in Bobby’s eyes and had a bad feeling.
Bobby was still young. He was just like a piece of white paper with very strong absorption power. Any kind of teaching would leave an imprint upon that paper, whether good or bad.
Stella knew she had find the murderer and punish him. Otherwise, it would cause a huge misunderstanding in Bobby’s mind.
“Well, you should eat first. I’ll get you some water.” Stella walked out of the interrogation room.
Bobby opened the box.
“You’re good. Bobby finally started talking as soon as you came. But why didn’t you ask him about the contents of the mobile phone?” Bryan Fellow asked in confusion.
“First, he said that he wanted to observe the police’s ability. So, he wouldn’t tell me what it is even if I asked. Second, he has revealed a few words, which were ‘professional’ and ‘good mental state’. I suspect that the criminal had recorded the whole process of the crime, but they didn’t expose their identity in the videos. Therefore, it should be very unlikely for us to find out who the murderers are through the videos.”
“Could it be that a serial killer is killing people randomly? But there hasn’t been any similar cases for now. This is probably not the first time the murderer had killed someone. It’s too gruesome and out of the norm.” Bryan frowned.
When a new official took office, the thing he would be the most afraid of was taking on a pending case.
“Killing randomly?” Stella narrowed her eyes, irritated. It was like searching for a needle in a haystack. There was no clue at all.
“Could you get the videos? Although the chance is very small, it’s better than not having any clues.” Bryan suggested.
“Let’s not ask Bobby about the videos, otherwise he would question your abilities. Where did you catch him by the way?” Stella asked.
“In his house. Why?” Bryan asked in confusion.
“If Bobby is insisting that this case is the perfect crime, he will definitely not destroy the evidence. He may even keep it as a souvenir. You can go to Bobby’s house to search for it. It might even be hidden in a cloud storage,” Stella suggested.
Bryan nodded and ordered his men to do so as Stella brought the water into the interrogation room.
She didn’t say anything after she entered the room. She merely sat down and watched Bobby eat.
Bobby was wolfing down the food and looked very pitiful.
“Did your father visit you after you were arrested?” Stella asked.
Bobby shrugged and said indifferently, “This incident is too sensational, so he probably wants to kill me now. Our relationship wasn’t exactly good to begin with.”
“The money he paid me was quite a lot, so if he was willing to spend so much on you, he must love you.”
“Oh.” Bobby sneered, “Feelings aren’t something that can be bought with money. He spent a lot of money on me, but he seems to find it hard to invest any time in me. Sometimes I hate myself for being his son. I can’t feel any fatherly love at all.”
“You know, I’ve never told you much about myself. My story is much more bizarre than yours. When I get you out from here, I will tell you about it, okay?” she stood up.
Bobby followed suit. “Teacher Grace, why are you so good to me? We’ve only known each other for a few days.”
“We are the same kind of people. I have experienced similar misfortunes in my life too. I felt that we were destined to meet. However, a relationship is a two-way affair. Both parties must be willing to invest in maintaining the relationship. I am very touched that you had defended me and trusted me in front of your mother. You should stay here for a few more days. I will bring you something delicious for you.”
“Teacher Grace.” Bobby was a little touched. “I have another clue. The woman lost an earring and I picked it up. I put it in a book. There might be fingerprints there.”
Stella smiled slightly.
Just because he had made one mistake did not mean that he would make mistakes for the rest of his life.
Bobby still had a chance to go on the right path. “I’ll visit you again tomorrow.”
Bryan thanked her when Stella left the room, “You’re really awesome. He finally talked. We have everyone’s fingerprints in our database. As long as the fingerprints were left on the earrings, the killer will be found soon. This case will then be solved. It seems that it really has nothing to do with Bobby. As long as it has nothing to do with him, we won’t have to deal with the State Mayor too. I am finally relieved.”
Stella just smiled. She had the feeling that this wasn’t as simple as it seemed…
