1463: Victim or Perpetrator? (4 More)
Xia Xiaolan doesn't know how to preach.
The bonus was earned by Daisy's sweat, and people can spend whatever they want.
After saying congratulations to Daisy, Xia Xiaolan received a fax not long after hanging up.
There are a total of 5 courses, some are compulsory, and some are optional by Xia Xiaolan.
The minimum grade is "a-", which is an art appreciation class. This "a-" is also the result of Xia Xiaolan's best efforts. A straight girl of steel who is addicted to making money is trying to improve her aesthetic level, and she must be allowed to progress step by step. Well.
The rest is either a or a+.
What surprised Xia Xiaolan was that Professor McCarthy also gave her an A+ for the course "Structural Elements"... She thought that she had rejected the invitation of p&w firm, and after Professor McCarthy hinted that she could stay at Cornell, the university The Demon King should be very disappointed with her?
"Disappointment is for sure, I have failed Professor McCarthy, but I have underestimated Professor McCarthy's professionalism."
The papers of her exam, combined with her usual homework performance, if she reaches the A+ standard, McCarthy will not force her to get an A or lower because of her personal likes and dislikes!
In fact, after hearing Daisy say that all three of the group got an "a", Xia Xiaolan is 80% sure that McCarthy will give her an "a+"!
Xia Xiaolan's report card is probably the only happy news in recent days.
At this time, Zhou Cheng had already arrived in China, parted ways with the delegation, and returned to the original army, right?
Considering the different time difference between the two countries, Xia Xiaolan did not call back home immediately.
In addition to Zhou Cheng, she has to tell Mao Kangshan and Tang Hongen!
Grandma Yu also said:
"Good things come in pairs, this is good news, and the skull recovery must be good news!"
It's a pity, because of her, she came to San Francisco as soon as she arrived in the United States. Affin must have really wanted to go to Cornell University, where Xiaolan went to school.
In fact, Grandma Yu was both afraid of the results and looking forward to the results soon.
Waiting is the most frustrating process.
"It must be good news!"
Liu Fen added a sentence heavily.
Tang Hongen has also been paying attention to things here these days.
Without the help of Tang Hongen and Zhou Cheng, the Chinese embassy in the United States would not have intervened so quickly.
There were so many people helping, which also gave Grandma Yu great comfort.
Wen Manni did not lie. Under the pressure of many parties, the result of the restoration of the skull came out soon. That is, two days after Xia Xiaolan got her results, the San Francisco police informed Grandma Yu:
"The deceased was an Asian man in his 30s, which is the same as the autopsy report in 1967. The skull detected traces of blunt force beating. It is presumed that the deceased had a fierce fight with people before his death. , the fire just scorched his body, not the real cause of death."
Jim's investigation is correct.
The fighting and arson were real, basically restoring the situation at the time of the incident. Xia Xiaolan's dollars were not spent in vain.
In fact, the police are also suspicious. Carrying a large amount of property is already easy to be targeted by criminals.
Grandma Yu nodded firmly:
"I know all these things, the result of skull restoration..."
The result of skull restoration must be seen by Grandma Yu herself.
To be honest, the facial features of Chinese people are not three-dimensional enough, and foreigners are prone to face blindness.
Originally, it was only 60%-70% similar. Compared with the old photos of Xu Zhongyi provided by Grandma Yu, it was very difficult for the San Francisco police to identify them.
They let Grandma Yu identify.
Grandma Yu grabbed Xia Xiaolan's hand and took two steps forward, staring at the restored skull model:
"No, this is not Zhong Yi! Look at Xiaolan, this is not Zhong Yi at all!"
Xia Xiaolan also felt different.
The restored model looks a little protruding, but in the old photos given by grandma, Xu Zhongyi doesn't say that he is a handsome guy. The three courts and five eyes are quite standard, and the divisions are just right.
Protruding mouth is not like.
The cheekbones are also slightly elevated and look fierce.
"I don't think so either."
"Yes, this is not Zhong Yi, Zhong Yi is still alive!"
Before she went abroad, she felt that something was wrong. Grandma Yu suppressed her bad thoughts and didn't cry.
When they arrived in New York, after listening to Zhou Cheng's words, Grandma Yu didn't cry.
When the coffin was opened for autopsy, Grandma Yu didn't cry as she watched the police dug out the bones.
At this time, it was confirmed that the corpse was not Xu Zhongyi, and Grandma Yu was in tears.
Liu Fen supported her and burst into tears: "This is a good thing, you should be happy!"
San Francisco police are confused.
After confirming it several times, Grandma Yu said it was not Xu Zhongyi.
This is strange. He died in the house that Xu Zhongyi rented, and his age and race were right. If it weren't for Xu Zhongyi, who would it be?
"If Xu is not the victim, he may be the murderer."
This bold guess was completely unacceptable to Grandma Yu.
"Zhong Yi doesn't know how to kill. He has a gentle personality, and even killing a chicken feels bloody, let alone murder!"
The police don't believe it at all.
When all murderers are caught, the family will defend the murderer, saying that he cannot kill.
Things turned around too quickly, and I began to think that the deceased was Xu Zhongyi,
The restoration of the skull confirmed that it was not Xu Zhongyi, and Xu Zhongyi was suspected of being the murderer... The police's logic also has certain basis. This anonymous person was burned to death in the house rented by Xu Zhongyi's family. , may also actively hide.
This possession is 19 years!
Grandma Yu didn't believe it, and Xia Xiaolan also felt uncomfortable about this, but the San Francisco police had to re-investigate the 1967 murder case.
The landlord and nearby residents were all investigated. The police wanted to find out the identity of the unnamed man. The identity determines a person's social relationship. Knowing who died can clarify the intersection between him and Xu Zhongyi, and then determine Xu Zhongyi. What are the reasons for killing.
Grandma Yu was very angry:
"Will these American police officers do anything? I want them to find someone, not to make them want Zhong Yi as a murderer!"
The attitude of the San Francisco police seems to have identified Xu Zhongyi as the murderer.
San Francisco TV did not expect the twists and turns of the plot to be such a reversal, and wanted to interview Grandma Yu even more.
Xia Xiaolan thought for a while, "I think you should be interviewed. Now that the deceased is not Uncle Xu, we can only find out what happened when we find Uncle Xu. We can't let Uncle Xu suffer grievances and hide in Tibet, right?"
Did Xu Zhongyi really kill someone and hide?
If the inference of the San Francisco police is true, why did Xu Zhongyi kill?
This completely subverted Jim's investigation. Jim believed that Xu Zhongyi was carrying a lot of property and became the target of local gang robbery.
The deceased was not Xu Zhongyi, and Jim was very surprised. The San Francisco police inferred that Jim refused to believe:
"Xia, have you found a buyer for that vase?"
