You Are The Apple of My Eyes

Chapter 67 Clues

"Is Frances the woman you was going to send to John? And she died last night."

"How do you know that?" James was surprised. He didn't even tell Nina the dead woman's name. How did she know it?

Was it possible that... Nina had investigated him and John and knew that he had sent a woman to John.

Since Nina loved John so much. She must be angry if she knew this.

If she quarreled with John because of this and the two of them couldn't be together, wouldn't James be guilty?

James became nervous and quickly raised his hand to swear, "Aunt Nina, don't get me wrong. I swear that you are the only woman in Uncle John's heart. There is no other woman. Frances didn't go there that day. Fortunately, she didn't go, so Uncle John met you. Aunt Nina, Uncle John has never met Frances. He has nothing to do with her. Please trust me!"

James said sincerely. He raised his right hand in the air and raised three fingers to swear, "Aunt Nina, please trust me, and trust my Uncle John!"

Uncle John really had on relationship with Frances.

If Nina and John quarreled with each other because of this, James would be really a sinner.

"You mean that Frances didn't go to the Four Seasons Garden Hotel, right?" Nina was thinking about the suicide case, and she didn't hear what James had said. Her focus was all on the last few words of him.

"Yes, it's true." Being afraid that Nina wouldn't believe him, James raised his hand again and said, "It's absolutely true. Uncle John and that woman have no relationship. Aunt Nina, you ..."

"Be quiet." Nina suddenly said seriously. She didn't take a look at James, but lowered her eyes and thought seriously.

Seeing Nina, James thought that Nina seemed to be angry. 'It seems that I have made trouble again. Should I tell Uncle John about it and let him redeem it?' he thought.

So he quietly took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to John.

"Uncle John, I'm sorry. Aunt Nina knew that I sent you a woman in the Four Seasons Garden Hotel when you came back. She seemed very angry. She stood there alone and didn't say anything, dejected. Come and coax Aunt Nina. I will get punishment myself."

After that, he secretly took a photo of Nina and sent it to John.

Nina stood on the path in the campus. Her black hair gently flew in the breeze.

Her right hand hung naturally, and her left hand touched her chin intentionally or unintentionally. She had blocked all external interference, and quickly presented three suicide cases in her mind.

She was right, and her guess about the time and place was right. The time and place were specially chosen by the murderer. The murders all happened in hotels in the bustling area. She wanted the dead to die in the most crowded places and to be criticized for their career.

But the time of the murders...

The first case happened on February 13th.

The second case happened on February 27th.

The interval between them was 13 days. This year was a leap year, so the third case should happen on March 12th, which was the day when Nina met John for the first time, in the Four Seasons Garden Hotel. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

According to the description of James, on the night of March 12th, Frances should have gone to the Four Seasons Garden Hotel as planned, but she didn't go there in the end, so she escaped it.

If the murderer committed murder at 13-day intervals, the next date of the murder after March 12th would be March 26th. However, there was no suicide on March 26th, but on April 9th, 13 days after March 26th.

Frances died on April 9th, which meant she escaped being murdered for unknown reason on March 26th. Frances escaped two murders, so the murderer went straight to her place.

Takeaway. The person who delivered the takeaway.

Why didn't she think of this before?

'I see.' She suddenly raised her head and said to the two people who had been looking at her but dared not breathe heavily, "I have to go back first."

Then she walked out of the campus quickly. At the same time, she rummaged through her black bag, found the business card that Professor Gu gave her, took out her mobile phone and dialed Noah's phone number.

"Hello, Noah. This is Nina. Where are you? I've found an important clue. I want to meet you."

Noah was stunned. He didn't know where she got his phone number, but it wasn't important at this moment. "I'm in the hotel where the first case happened. I'll send you the address. Please come here to meet me."

"Okay." Nina nodded and went back to her apartment. She drove her car to the address sent by Noah.

Half an hour later, Nina arrived.

In order to avoid alerting the criminal, the policemen of the criminal investigation team all went out in plain clothes and kept a low profile. No one would discover that they were policemen.

Mr. Black, who was responsible for observing at the entrance of the hotel, saw Nina get out of the car. After what happened yesterday, Mr. Black had no hostility towards Nina, but more amity.

"Nina, are you here for Captain Noah?"

"Yes. Where is Noah?" Nina glanced around and didn't see Noah.

Mr. Black pointed at the top floor of the hotel, raised his head and said, "Captain Noah is up there. The first victim jumped down from there."

"Okay, I see. Thank you." Nina smiled politely and entered the hotel.

Nina was very beautiful. Even if she didn't wear any makeup or nice clothes, she would be beautiful as long as she smiled.

Mr. Black blushed with embarrassment. He reached out his hand and touched his head. Seeing Nina walk in the hotel, he couldn't help muttering, "Miss Nina is beautiful and smart, just like Captain Noah. If only she will work with us in the future."

This hotel was just an ordinary chain hotel, not very luxurious. There were only eight floors, but it was located in a prosperous place, where there were a lot of guests.

Nina had planned to take the elevator. After thinking for a while, she finally walked through the exit passageway and walked to the top floor, gasping for breath.

"Miss Nina?" Tom was surprised for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He pointed at Noah and said, "Captain Noah is over there."

"Okay, thank you." Nina nodded with a smile and walked towards Noah. She saw Noah standing on the wall and observing back and forth. He walked very slowly, with a pair of dark eyes scanning the wall, hoping to find some clues.

The wall was not high, less than half a meter.

Nina didn't go over to call him for the time being. She was afraid that it would disturb his thoughts, so she just waited.

Noah suddenly stepped up the wall, which startled Nina. The width of the wall was very narrow. It was really dangerous for him to do so.

"Be careful." Nina reminded him not to fall down, or he would die.

Hearing the concerned voice of Nina, Noah slowly turned around and saw her walking towards him. Her long hair was tied up, revealing a fair and delicate face, with a pair of amber eyes.

She was different from the delicate girls. She looked very heroic.

"It's okay. I won't fall." Noah nodded at her gratefully.

"That's good." Nina breathed a sigh of relief. When she approached Noah, an idea occurred to her. "Wait a minute. Don't get down. Just stand up like this."

Now Noah was facing her. Wasn't this standing posture the same as that of the victim before she jumped off the building? She faced the entrance of the hotel with her back to the sky.

Now Nina knew how the first victim died.
