Chapter 721 Lip Reading
Jack clapped softly, although it seemed more like a sarcasm at the moment, "Yes, so we just confirmed that Lanie did not find any pre-death substances in Sophie's body. Signs of sexual intercourse.”
Casel fell back into his seat weakly and opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn’t know what to say.
Beck pulled his chair and sat across from him, and said solemnly, "You have let your emotions blind you, Cassel."
"You mean I And Keira?" Cassel obviously realized the problem.
Beckett said bluntly, "Yes, do you know why I feel that way? Because if you can still remain objective enough, you must be trying to find various possibilities to prove that Keira killed Sophie."
Hearing her say this, Cassel's voice suddenly rose an octave, "This is impossible."
"You see, this is the problem." Beckett put his hands on He clenched his fists in front of his chest and stressed, "The Rick Cassel I know would never say such a thing.
He would describe such a scene to me in vivid colors, just before the wedding. One night, Keira may be too excited to sleep, so she will go to Gretel's room to find him, and then she is surprised to find Sophie leaving his room.
Keira realizes that her fiancé has betrayed her. And it’s the night before the wedding, is this too much? So she follows Sophie back to her room, confronts her emotionally, and then everything gets out of hand, and Sophie dies.”
The female detective's words left the great writer speechless, and she still looked gloomy when she finally left the police station.

"Do you think Cassel will listen to Beckett and keep distance from Keira?" Back home, Hannah was still thinking about the scene just now.
“Think about it when you were 14 years old, would you have listened to your aunt and uncle Anderson?” Jack smiled and made an analogy.
"Yes, they were very kind to me at that time. Why wouldn't I be obedient?" Hannah's matter-of-fact tone made Jack realize that he had chosen the wrong person to compare to.
Well, his Hannah was also a precocious atypical teenager like Alexis since she was a child. After the death of her parents, the Anderson family who were responsible for taking care of her not only protected her very well, Zoe, the sister It also played a very positive guiding role.
“Let’s put it this way, in Cassel’s house, the teen safety software is not installed on Alexis’ computer, but in Cassel’s laptop. You know what I mean. "
Jack explained the mismatched father-daughter relationship in one sentence.
"So what you're saying is that Cassel is still in the rebellious stage, so he won't listen to Beckett and stay away from Keira?" Hannah seemed to realize something.
Jack nodded, poured the sauce from the spoon on the rice, and then pushed the plate to her, "Curry potato beef rice bowl, I added a little more saffron to try the taste."
Hannah picked up the spoon and took a small bite and tasted it. Suddenly her eyes curled up and she smiled like a little golden fox. Jack couldn't help but touch her head.
“Kassel may not take the initiative to find Keira, but if Keira takes the initiative, it’s hard to say. Compared to Kassel, how fragile the bride-to-be’s emotions are before the wedding, you should be more I have a deeper understanding of how hard it was for everyone to coax Angela Lopez to get married with a pregnant belly. As the bridesmaid, Hannah should have the most say, although pregnant women are indeed easily emotional. , but it is also inseparable from the wedding ceremony, a scene of great joy and sorrow.
What's more, the groom Grete was taken away in public, so many rumors spread to Keira's ears. You can imagine how broken she felt at the moment.
Sometimes once things come to light and the worst results are spread out in front of them, many people may accept it calmly. Anyway, the deal is already done.
The worst situation is now. How will Gretel explain to Keira after he returns? Even if he chooses to confess everything and tell the truth about the history between himself and Sophie and everything that happened that night, Keira will believe it. ?
People are all emotional. Just like Cassel subconsciously ignored Keira's suspicion, it is unrealistic to expect Keira to face all this rationally. To put it another way, Grete showed some hostility when he heard Cassel's name, which shows that before that, Keira had talked to him frankly about her past with Cassel.
So comparing the feelings, Gretel chose to conceal the relationship between himself and Sophie. Is there something wrong in his heart?
So Keira is likely to go to Cassel. This is not only some kind of revenge in the subconscious, but also because she, like Beckett, has long seen through the seemingly cynical appearance of a certain great writer. Underneath, the soft heart is hidden.
Keira knew she could find some kind of genuine comfort in Cassel that she wanted.
After listening to Jack's long analysis, Hannah felt that her head was about to explode, and she directly asked her soul, "Why are you so skilled at this kind of thing?"
"Because Cassel considers himself a professional writer who can see through people's hearts, but he calls me a psychologist." Jack explained perfunctorily and chose to seal it with a kiss.
After helping her analyze for a long time, she was not grateful at all and even asked herself, "Sweet girl hasn't been very good recently, so you can't blame yourself for the foul."
It was fragrant and soft, with a hint of beef curry. Jack was quite satisfied with his craftsmanship tonight. Just when the two of them were breathless from kissing and were about to do something further, the sudden ringtone of their cell phone rang. stand up.
"Well, Hi Alexis, yes, as expected, where is the 'secret roof'? Of course you don't know, you weren't there yet.
Ask your grandma Martha , OK, I’ll take note of it, don’t worry, leave it to us.” Jack hung up the phone and showed a proud smile to Hannah.
"I will notify Kate (Beckett) now." Hannah angrily picked up the phone to report the news.
——
An hour later, three sneaky figures appeared on the top floor of an apartment building in Manhattan. One was holding a camera with a barrel-shaped telephoto lens. , and the other simply put on an exaggerated four-eye night vision device.
"Are you sure this is here?" Hannah went up to the roof and looked around wearing the GPVNG18 four-eye night vision device that Jack got from the seal.
"It should be right. Martha said that across the street was Cassel and Kayla's 'secret roof'. One summer they would sneak there almost every night. That was when Cassel conceived his first idea. When writing a novel, Keira would stay with him with a snack in one hand and a notebook in the other. "
Jack deliberately spoke in detail, and then peeked at Beckett's face with Hannah.
"I found Keira." Beckett said with a straight face, not showing much emotion. He picked up the camera and took a picture of the roof of another apartment building more than 200 meters away.
Hannah put on her four-eye night vision goggles again and looked in the direction, and soon found her target, "Cassell also appeared. They were all wearing scarves, and they looked romantic as if they were taking a photo. Movie.”
Isn't this the scene of an affair between an "adulterer and an adulteress"? There was nothing romantic about it. Jack gently patted someone's buttocks to signal her not to go too far.
It will still be a long time before Cassell and Beckett declare their relationship. It will take a lot of opportunities for these two awkward guys to face each other's hearts. Now that the Gonghuogong is too powerful, it can easily become self-defeating. .
"It's a pity that I can't hear what they want to talk about. I should have gone there in advance and installed a bug." Hannah was quite regretful.
"How do you know that after so many years, the door here is not locked?" Jack held the telescope and murmured, "Some things will never change."
Han Na and Beckett cast surprised glances at him at the same time, "You can also read lips? Why didn't I know?"
"I just learned it not long ago, and I haven't had time to show it to you yet." He also wasted five system gold coins just to accompany you in your mischief, Jack said silently in his heart.
