Chapter 749 Black and White
Stella looked at the screen and tapped on the table with her fingers rhythmically. She said lightly, “The murderer is a man, about 30 years old, approximately 1. 75 m to 1. 80 m tall. He should have a thin body and has had higher education. He has a high IQ and a good EQ. His parents and siblings should be dead. He has a good amount of fortune and has a car, which should be a luxurious one. He looks ordinary and has very good speaking skills. He appears harmless at ordinary times, so it was easy for him to hide his intentions.”
“In addition to these, is there anything more?” Sheldon asked anxiously.
“His psychological stability is quite good. The first case seemed to be perfect. He killed without hesitation. It should not be his first time committing a crime. What’s more, the frequency of his crime is very stable, which indicates that he has developed the habit of committing these crimes. I think that he moved in at the beginning of the year. I suggest that we cooperate with other states to see if they have similar cases. We should focus on one case to find the flaws that the murderer left to get more clues,” Stella continued.
“I did notice one weird thing. Since the murderer could disguise himself as the dead, have you guys thought of where he got the information of the deceased people?” Alissa asked.
“We also thought about this point. It could be from a funeral house, a cemetery, or a police station. However, the scene of the crime was very far away from each of these, so we couldn’t find any signs of the murderer,” Sheldon said with disappointment.
“Why does he always leave a person alive then?” Edwin asked in confusion.
“He has a habit of committing crimes. Maybe it has something to do with his past,” Stella replied.
“What are you guys going to do next?” Sheldon asked anxiously.
The others looked at each other. As an experienced person in the FBI, Ray said, “We’ll go to the crime scene and have a look first. We will rely on you guys to contact the other police stations. Tell me if there’s any news.”
“I’ll have a chat with those kids,” Stella said softly.
“Okay, I’ll make the necessary arrangements,” Sheldon said.
Stella smiled and stood up.
“Stella, do you have any other information about this case? I still want to listen to your thoughts,” Edwin said. After that, his face turned slightly red.
“After the murderer got the information of the dead, he probably followed the victim for a long time. Maybe he appeared in the victim’s house as an inconspicuous person at first as he knew the victim’s home very well. When he’s ready to take action, he would carefully plan on how to kill the others,” Stella said softly.
“So, are you saying that the person who extracts the information about the deceased’s family is possibly the murderer?” Ray asked.
“To be exact, I think that the murderer extracted information regarding the deceased’s family two months before he takes action. You should check if the few cases have these similarities,” Stella said.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Alissa said angrily, “Why didn’t you say this just now when Sheldon asked what were going to do? We are a team, this is not the time for you to play the hero.”
Stella looked at Alissa calmly and said, “Originally, I wanted to talk to the children, and narrow down the scope before telling you guys. I’m not acting as a hero. In fact, we don’t need our team to do these things, right? The police will cooperate with us anyway.”
When Alissa heard Stella’s calm tone, she didn’t know what to say, but she felt unhappy. She said, “Let’s go to the crime scene and let her play the hero.”
Stella smiled lightly and didn’t argue with her. She didn’t need to say anything.
“Stella, please come and sign the contract on your part. The director has already contacted the Neuro Bureau. You may go at any time as long as you contact the person in charge of it. The people over there are also from A Country,” Sheldon said with a smile and handed the business card to Stella.
Stella noticed that the other party’s name was Black. It was a very strange name. It didn’t even count as a name. It just meant the color black.
She looked at his title. He was the Minister of the Security Department. She saved his contact into her phone after that.
She followed Sheldon to the Human Resources Department to sign the contract. They offered her a high salary of one million dollars a year. She would only need to work when there was a case, if there was none, she could do her own thing, it was as if it was a part-time job.
She wrote down her name neatly and signed the contract.
“Do I take you to see those children now?” Sheldon asked.
Stella nodded. “Sure.”
“No one adopted them. They are all in the orphanage right now. These children are very pitiful. All of their relatives didn’t dare to adopt them as the case was too strange. The fact that the case involves their dead father doesn’t help them too.” Sheldon explained.
That was human nature. Stella understood it the best, so she said, “Take me there.”
On the way, Stella bought five boxes of fruit-flavored candy.
She ate one herself, and they soon arrived at the orphanage.
She followed Sheldon to the orphanage’s director’s office and Sheldon expressed his intentions. The Director, Dianne, complained to Sheldon, “These children are weird. The other children are afraid of them. They even hurt a nurse last time, so I locked them up for now.”
Stella frowned and looked at Dianne, saying, “Before you think of them like that, did you treat them like normal human beings? They are regarded as monsters in the orphanage and called monsters by others. As time goes by, they will also feel that they are monsters. In your eyes, they are devils, so why don’t they do what devils do?”
Dianne’s face darkened, “What do you mean by these words? Are you saying that we are in the wrong? We have to take care of a lot of children every day. It’s a pain to deal with strange kids like them.”
“So you lock them up and make them even more resentful. Their personality has been distorted since they were young. Before they came here, they were also their parent’s treasures, and they were the same as normal people. What’s more, the eldest among them was only six years old.”
“Who are you?” Dianne asked with her eyes wide open.
Sheldon introduced with some embarrassment, “She is the famous psychologist, Stella Grace.”
Dianne stopped talking. She remembered that her subordinate told her about how famous Stella was before.
She changed her attitude and said with a smile, “Sorry, we’re also thinking of a plan. It would be best if you could guide us accordingly.”
“Let’s talk about it after I see them. Call the youngest here first,” Stella said.
“Alright, I’ll ask someone to bring the child here,” Dianne said as she motioned to her assistant.
The assistant nodded and walked in a hurry with her head lowered.
Stella glanced at her and said to Dianne, “When I interrogate the child later, I hope that I can be alone with them. Is that okay?”
“Yes, but those children would sometimes act like they’re crazy. You should be careful, Doctor Grace. I think you should be two meters apart from them.” Dianne advised.
Stella smiled slightly, “They’re just children. Don’t worry, I will protect myself.”
Stella waited for fifteen minutes before seeing the assistant carrying the two-year-old child over. The assistant was nervous and her eyes flickered as she placed the child on the ground…
