Chapter 239

As Booth thought earlier, Sweets is particularly good at breaking down people's psychological defenses.Although Marian Jeremiah hadn't spoken yet, she had put away her previous indifferent expression, her eyes were lowered, her face was sullen, and she had a defensive expression.

"It's OK, Marian." Her lawyer, Matilda Keppel, also found out about this situation. In order not to let her client say something that should not be said out of control, she patted her hand with a soft tone of comfort. Taste, trying to get Marian Jeremiah to relax. "You have the right to remain silent, and leave the rest to me."

"Hurry up, I don't think I have anything to say with these people." Marian tugged the tie of the shawl, as if she was a little cold.

"Ms. Jeremiah." Sweets said emphatically, "Six people died, and they were all good people who stood by your son and thought he was innocent. Doesn't that really move you?"

"I'm grateful, but I don't know anything." Marian Jeremiah clenched her hand, "What can I know? When it happened, I was locked in a room, and everyone thought I married a rich man and would live I was very happy, but in fact, I lost my dignity, my child, and now the nightmare has finally woken up, why can't you let me go? It's your police's job to catch murderers, can you stop disturbing me?!"

"This case has been handed over to the FBI. Forget it, it's not important." Sweets looked straight at Marian Jeremiah, "Ma'am, this is just an ordinary inquiry. Your attitude makes me think that you have the clues we need."

"I don't know anything!" Marian Jeremiah flatly denied.

"But……"

"AgentSweets, please pay attention to your attitude." The lawyer said in a timely manner, "If you continue to waste time like this, I don't think there is any need for me and my client to stay."

"OK, since that's the case, let's start from the beginning and talk about the Christmas night when Mr. Jeremiah had an accident." Sweets glanced at the glass mirror mounted on the wall, and pulled out his pen to take notes.

On the other side of the mirror, Isaac is watching the surveillance.The position of the one-way mirror can only see Marian Jeremiah's side face, so, in order to observe her expression more clearly, Isaac turned on the monitor and let the camera face her.It's not that he doesn't want to give Sweets advice, but he hasn't figured out how to say it yet.

Marian Jeremiah's performance is too deliberate. If she doesn't know anything, then she can appear as a weak widow, and she won't be embarrassed when she tells what she knows; if she knows something, the current The appearance does not do any good except to attract suspicion and try to dig clues from her.The posture she puts on now doesn't think about anyone who has nothing to do with it, but it will make people feel that she is guilty.

Suppose, if she really knew anything—

"Sweets, ask her, since she has been married to Mr. Jeremiah for so many years, why did it only break out at Christmas last year, refusing to participate by pretending to be Jewish." Isaac turned on the microphone and sent a message to Sweets.

"Ms. Jeremiah, you said, you were locked up because you offended Mr. Jeremiah." Sweets quickly understood what Issac meant, "Is this the first time?"

"That's right." Marian Jeremiah glanced at the lawyer before answering after she nodded.

"Then, why did you have no doubts about this for more than ten years, and suddenly broke out this year?" Sweets didn't give Marian time to answer, and said to himself, "Or, your outbreak was premeditated, just to Create some evidence that will mislead us..."

"You're talking nonsense!" Marian Jeremiah immediately looked at the lawyer, "I'm going to sue them for defamation!"

Now, without Issac's reminder, both Sweets and Booth could see Marian Jeremiah's anger after being punctured.

"Did he give you some hints, or did he tell you directly?" Sweets didn't stop, "To continue living the life of a lady, you have paid a lot, Ms. Jeremiah."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Marian Jeremiah turned away from Sweets.

Coincidentally, the direction she turned her head was facing the mirror on the wall, and now, Isaac could directly see that face without the distorted angle of the monitor.On the face that tried to calm down, there was an indelible fear.

What is she afraid of? Issac does not believe that what can scare such a bottomless person is moral or legal condemnation or punishment. Even if their conjectures are true, there is still no evidence. Based on what Issac knows about Matilda Keppel, before coming , she should have analyzed the various possible outcomes for Marian Jeremiah.Therefore, what can scare Marian Jeremiah can only be the unknown safety of life.

Putting the conditions in this case, it is clear that the only person who can cause life-threatening threats is the murderer they are looking for.If the murderer hadn't been connected to Marian Jeremiah, she could have cooperated without any qualms, but since she didn't, the identity of the person she was hiding was about to be revealed.

Vincent Jeremiah.

A mother should not be afraid of her own child. Even in Jeremiah's house, the relationship between mother and child is almost non-existent. However, Marian Jeremiah's sense of superiority over Vincent made her never think that the child who depended on her for survival could bring her something. threaten.Unless, something changed, and she found that she could no longer control him, but instead was held in his hands.

What would I do if I were Vincent Jeremiah?

Several short meetings with Vincent Jeremiah flashed in Issac's mind one by one. In the court, he was the weak and introverted child who was not good at speaking; assertiveness; the third meeting...

Thinking of the business card that was kissed, a face of a young man with a spring appeared in Isaac's mind.

In less than a year, can a person who was neglected by his mother and distorted by his stepfather when he was a child, and then witnessed the death of his stepfather because of resistance before adulthood change so much?

Isaac doesn't believe that if childhood trauma was so easy to heal, if PTSD was so easy to live with, it wouldn't cause so many problems.But, still the original question, what is the motive?

Regardless of whether Mr. Jeremiah's death was accidental or deliberately designed, Vincent Jeremiah has been successfully exonerated, why should he return to the quagmire, for fear that others will not know what he did?

If it were me, I would forget about this past, start a new chapter of life, and let the old shit go to hell; but if I were not me, if I were Vincent, Mr. Jeremiah's death would make me accumulate since I was a child Does the anger dissipate?No, it won't, because he is not the only one who made a mistake, I have to eliminate those who have failed me, so that I can move on without burden...

But why a juror?They hold him innocent...

Not guilty.

Isaac finally caught the thread.

Mr. Jeremiah didn't die by accident, his death was planned by Vincent.But above the court, he had a smooth-talking lawyer, who aroused everyone's sympathy for him with the misfortunes that Vincent had suffered since he was a child, and then influenced his own views.It's much like what happened to Vincent, there's no way what happened to him has gone unnoticed, but the fact that he's still at Jeremiah's house only proves that those things have been muddled over.

Isaac remembered Jane Jeremiah, the lady who was almost driven crazy by Mr. Jeremiah, she also asked for help, but those people paid more attention to some superficial things, instead they didn't trust or even hurt her.If Vincent had gone through the same process, what would he think of the people he had turned to for help?

Superficial and stupid.

When asking for help was useless and would even cause more harm, then he might not have the courage to hate Mr. Jeremiah, but what about those who had given him hope and brought him despair?

And those jurors in the court, they did the same thing, and judged whether a person was guilty or not based on one-sided words.They lack judgment and only see things according to their own mood. If others are sensational and moved, then the boy in the story must be a good boy.

The final result was that they made a judgment in favor of Vincent Jeremiah, but he also regarded it as a projection of those who used to make him more desperate with one-sided words.

It doesn't matter whether these people are the same people they used to be. What matters is that in Vincent Jeremiah's mind, they have done the same thing, so they are the same people.

Thinking of this, Isaac felt a little ridiculous, and seemed to have an explanation for Vincent Jeremiah's different view of him. Because he opposed it, he became the special one.If his guess is true, how should he explain it to the families of the victims afterwards? Did you tell them that because of the kindness of your family, you decided to trust a poor boy, so you were killed?

Isaac patted his forehead, telling himself to stop thinking about these things that need to be considered after the case is closed.He tapped on Mike, "Sweets, tell her that the juror's death is just a signal, representing his resistance and revenge on those who hurt him. Let her guess, who will the end of this revenge be?"
