Winnie finished shopping for the things she needed in the mall. It was difficult to move the large items, so she left her address for the merchant to deliver them to her door. She went home directly with the small items. She was in a good mood on the way back, and she crushed Bernal's toes hard in the elevator. A guy like him who was so used by girls probably wouldn't come to her again.
When I think of this, even waiting at a red light becomes wonderful.
Winnie went to school as usual the next day. She looked around specifically and saw neither Bernal's car nor his people. Although he won't go out of his way to avoid her, he probably won't create meaningless "accidental encounters" anymore.
"My dear, you are in a good mood today. Did something good happen?" Louisa ran quickly to Winnie in the corridor with her book in her arms, put her arm around her shoulders and asked, "Isn't it because she has a boyfriend?" Right? Or did you encounter something good when you went out yesterday? "
For students of this age, their happiness is really very simple. It may be material or emotional. At their age, they all long for a beautiful relationship.
Winnie slowed down and let her hug her and said, "Yesterday Bernal followed me to the mall, and I scolded him." She raised an eyebrow at Louisa: "He was so angry, don't chase him after that." Me, you might still want to make trouble for me."
"What did you say?" Louisa asked curiously.
As they talked, they walked into the classroom of the first period. When Melissa found out, they all said they wanted to celebrate with a toast. For someone he doesn't like, his so-called "affection" and constant attentiveness will only bring trouble to himself. If the other person is someone he hates, it will be even more disastrous.
Winnie is just an ordinary girl, and she actually has a sense of vanity. Being liked and pursued by others is of course something to be proud of, but the prerequisite is that the other person can understand rejection and know how to behave.
Unfortunately, when it was time to go to dinner at noon, Winnie's good mood began to fade.
The red-haired campus figure Doujie Allen walked to Winnie's table. Her eyes fell on Winnie's face and asked: "Ward didn't come to school today. He went to chase you after school yesterday, right?" ?”
Winnie and the others stopped eating and looked up at Dao Jie. Dao Jie was wearing a close-fitting short-sleeved shirt and low-waisted jeans underneath. The simple dress made her have big breasts and a slim waist, which was very eye-catching. Even girls can't help but take a second look.
"He went after me. I rejected him and he left." Winnie said concisely.
Perhaps there is a special aura among beautiful girls. As a man of the hour, Daojie has beautiful appearance, excellent academic performance and good popularity. Winnie's social circle is not as wide as hers, her grades are average, and only her appearance can surpass her.
So when Daojie stood in front of Winnie, she felt naturally condescending. And she really thought that she had the capital to look down on Green, a pretty girl.
"He didn't go back last night." Dao Jie tilted her head and looked at Winnie with a casual smile on her face: "We couldn't get through to him even if we called him."
"If you want to ask me about his whereabouts, you have come to the wrong person." Winnie's eyes narrowed slightly, but there was an innocent expression on her face: "I thought it was not strange for him to stay up all night like this. of."
"He has been chasing you since the beginning of school. Whether you like him or not, as someone you know, aren't you worried about him?" Dao Jie
He asked in confusion, with some condemnation in his tone.
Melissa was already getting angry. She threw the fries back on the plate, kicked off her feet, and the chair under her moved a big step back. She held her head high and crossed her arms with her chest and said with an unkind look on her face: "Bernard What does it have to do with Winnie where you are? Shouldn't the police be called if someone is missing?"
"The way you worry about your friend is to cause trouble for the girls he once harassed?" Louisa asked without a smile.
"Oh~" Dao Jie blinked: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to cause trouble." She smiled and glanced at the two of them lightly, "As you know, there is a murderer nearby who has not been arrested yet. I'm just a little worried."
After Daojie left, Melissa angrily cursed: "I hate this kind of big sister!"
"But I haven't heard of Dojie Allen and the others bullying people in school?" Louisa said. She looked at Winnie again: "However, it is normal for you influential people to dislike each other. If she gives you trouble, be sure to tell us."
Winnie gestured "OK" to them, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Melissa looked at Winnie's slender body and shook her head in disbelief.
…
Ward Bernal may have really disappeared, as he was nowhere to be seen the next day. Neither his friends nor his parents could contact him, and as the last person likely to have seen Ward Bernal, Winnie was called in for questioning.
When she was called out of the classroom, all the classmates sitting inside looked over. Winnie turned to give her friends who were looking at her worriedly a reassuring look and closed the door smoothly. She followed the teacher to an office where there was a fat police officer in police uniform and a woman wearing a designer brand.
Seeing her coming, the woman immediately took two steps forward, the heels of her high heels clicking on the floor with a crisp sound. The woman walked up to Winnie with an anxious look on her face. She stared at Winnie and asked, "Winnie Green?"
Winnie had already guessed the identity of the other party, but she still pretended to be confused and asked: "Yes, who are you?"
"She is Ward Bernal's mother." The fat police officer came over and asked in a gentle manner: "What happened between you and Ward Bernal? Did you quarrel? Where will he go after that? ?”
There is nothing to hide. As long as the police are interested in investigating, they can find the surveillance cameras in the mall's underground parking lot and elevators. But seeing that the police have come to find him, I'm afraid that Ward Bernal is in danger.
&
nbsp; Winnie frowned and said, "I went to the mall to buy furniture after school the day before yesterday, and Bernal followed me to the underground parking lot. He has always appeared in front of me since the first day of school, and I clearly refused. He did it many times but to no avail." She glanced at Bernal's mother and said, "In order not to be entangled with him anymore, I said some harsh words. There was no one around at the time, so I didn't have to worry about embarrassing him."
"What did you say?" Bernal's mother looked at Winnie with red eyes, as if she had determined that it was because of something Winnie said that caused her child to run out and get into trouble.
Winnie: "I said I don't like promiscuous boys. Although he said he liked me, he never stopped seeing women around him. I said it was easy to get sick, and I would have to risk my life if I was with him... …”
Mrs. Bernal heard this and interrupted: "Oh my God! How can you say that? He likes you!"
"Do you really think he likes me?" Winnie asked.
The fat police officer was afraid that they would quarrel, so he stopped them: "Okay, what else?"
Winnie: "He was very angry and wanted to make a move. I stepped on his toes before he could make a move. Then I left and never saw him again."
Fat police officer: "So he left suddenly because he quarreled with you? Where do you think he will go after that?"
Winnie didn't like the causal relationship he mentioned, as if Bernal disappeared because of a quarrel with her. But he still said patiently: "I don't know, I don't know him well. Maybe you can ask his friends."
The fat police officer nodded: "Thank you, we will."
Winnie was indeed innocent in this matter, and they also asked Bernal's other friends. Everyone knows that Winnie Green rejected Bernal, and while Bernal did not reject girls who came close to him, he also kept thinking about Winnie.
Although there are some malicious speculations on this matter, as an adult, you still have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Bernal had an accident after breaking up with Winnie, but she cannot be blamed for this incident. On the body.
That's true but emotionally, Bernal's family doesn't think so. But fortunately, Bernal's mother was still very sensible. She had already angered Winnie, but she didn't say anything excessive to Winnie here. She just looked at Winnie with sad and angry eyes, blaming her for saying words that hurt her son.
If Winnie had not said those words, Ward must have returned home safely.
After a brief inquiry, Winnie left the office.
It may be cold to say so. Ward Bernal's first appearance began to cause trouble for her, and his last appearance may also be a trouble.
Soon, her idea came true.
The police with police dogs found the body of Ward Bernal in a small woods. His throat had been cut with a knife, and his lips and eyelids had been sewn shut by the murderer. It was not the scene of the first crime, there was very little blood around it, and the police did not see Ward Bernal's car in the surrounding area.
This incident immediately caused a sensation around the town. The murderer of the previous murder case had not been found, and a new murder case appeared. Originally, women were all in danger, but now the death of Ward Bernal has made men who are not physically strong also worry. After all, Ward Bernal is not a guy who is easily defeated.
Residents voluntarily joined the police patrol team. Each family had wives and children, and no one wanted to lose any more lives. At the same time, the pressure on the police is also increasing due to public opinion, and the police chief has begun to consider whether to seek help from foreign aid.
In school, everyone who passed by Winnie would look at her, and some would ask with hostility: "Hey Green, did you know that Bernal was killed?" How could they let go of mocking the school beauty? Opportunity?
"Will you go to his funeral?"
"You should have accepted him in the first place."
At this time, Winnie's two friends, Louisa and Melissa, would come over, help her block those eyes, and pull her away quickly.
In fact, Winnie didn't feel sad because of those people's attitudes. She had experienced worse things and even more unfriendly looks.
But since they want to make her unhappy, they shouldn't mind if the hall turns black and it's bad luck, right?
Winnie shook the invisible chain, and soon she felt the response from the other end of the chain.
In the void invisible to ordinary people, a pale hand touched the back of their necks. Then, Winnie saw the group of people leaving under a dark cloud.
"Ignore them," Melissa said.
"You are just an outlet for their fear." Louisa patted Winnie on the shoulder, "Do you think the murderer is the same?"
Melissa thought for a while and shook her head: "Probably not, the two cases have different modus operandi. I have paid attention to some cases and found that perverted murderers will not deliberately change their modus operandi. They use this as their symbol."
After hearing this, Melissa showed a disgusted expression: "Oh, it's really perverted."
Because of the new murder case, Jamie won't let Lisa go for a walk, even with Winnie accompanying her. One of them is a pregnant woman, and the other is a weak female college student. If they are targeted by the murderer, they will definitely not be able to run away.
Also because of the trip back to Ravensfield, the young couple were not in good condition, so their plan to take a walk after dinner was suspended.
When Winnie came home from school in the evening, she saw two cars parked in front of Sarah's house opposite. She took a second look curiously.
Lisa came over with the cookies baked during the day and said: "Sarah's boyfriend is here as a guest, the FBI. We even saw him this time when we returned to Ravensfield."
Winnie nodded clearly, wondering if BAU had a new understanding of the world. !
