Chapter 33 Section 8

Nathan starts off by saying he can't remember.It was just an ordinary day, and nothing special happened. Besides, I have been busy with the exams during this time, and it is really difficult to remember where I was doing or what I was doing at every moment of that day. who together. The detectives are not in a hurry, they have time and patience.This is what they eat.Reminiscing well, they enlightened that that day was not so long ago, only eight days had passed, which was just over a week.How about we start from the beginning again, think about what classes you took on Wednesday, and go back bit by bit, it will be easier.

Nathan looked embarrassed, and he said he actually remembered.If it's just his own business, it's fine, he recruited earlier, but because another person is involved, it's not easy for him to betray his friend. That man was Richard Lowe. Nathan Leop said there was no class on Wednesday afternoon, and he and Richard had lunch at Fields Grill, then drove Nathan's red Willie Knight to Lincoln Park to watch birds, and bought a A bottle of gin and a bottle of whiskey.They drank happily, but no one was drunk.Richard's father did not allow him to drink. He was afraid that his family would smell alcohol from his breath, so he decided to go back after dinner. The two good friends went to the intersection of Alice Road and 53rd Street together. Coconut Garden restaurant.After dinner, the two of them drove along 63rd Street again, looking for two "girls with nothing to do" to play with, and found them quickly.They called the two girls into the car and drove all the way to Jackson Park. "We looked for a place in the park to sit and drink. But we couldn't talk to the two girls, they were very rude, so we sent them away, and then we went home."

The police began to question him carefully about this passage.What are the names of those two girls?Nathan said one was Edna and the other Mei Yi, but he didn't know their surnames.What do you look like? About 20 years old, not tall.Where exactly did you lure them into the car?What time?How far did the girls say they could go with you?Did you kiss?Where did they part with you?What time?Where have you been in Lincoln Park?What kind of bird did you see?What did you have for dinner?What did you drink?When did you and Mr. Luo Yi break up?What time did you take him home?When did you get home yourself?Who was there at the time?What's the name of those two girls, can you say that again?Are you sure they didn't mention their last names? ...

Questions come and go, questions that get more detailed and broader.Nathan was very cooperative, answering the detectives' inquiries about his family background, his history, his hobbies, his friends and acquaintances, etc., and— Yes, I have a typewriter, Hammond, multifunctional, and I have used it for several years.Of course, that's desktop.Years ago there used to be a portable one, the Corona.There was an Oliver before that.I type very well.Yes, I could have typed that ransom demand letter. Yes, I read that ransom demand letter in the newspaper, and it was pretty well written.But it doesn't have to be a college student, some high school students may also write such beautiful articles.Are you asking me?No doubt I could write a similar letter.Yes, I noticed that the author uses some jurisprudence, but that doesn't say much about how well-learned he is on the subject.

No, I don't know Bobby Fanks, but I've heard of his family.Bobby probably doesn't like birds the kid, or I would know him.All Harvard students who are interested in birds have taken my classes. Yes, I agree with your point of view, the kidnappers should be very familiar with that area, otherwise they would not have found the culvert blindly. Yes, I saw pictures of glasses in newspapers, but before today, I would never have thought they were my glasses. ………… It was late at night, and the detectives changed their tactics and took turns to ask questions. One person asked inside, and two rested outside. Only Nathan Leop was not tired.The policemen whispered that it seems that scholars are night owls, and they become more energetic at night.

Attorney General Robert Coro has not been seen, but he has not left the Lazar Hotel.He was in command in another room. When Nathan Leop mentioned his Hammond multi-function typewriter, Attorney General Korow immediately sent someone back to the Leop house with Mike Leop, not only fetched the typewriter, but also carried out Searched.In Nathan's herbarium on the third floor, investigators found a large jar of ether, a powerful anesthetic, a bottle of strychnine, and a bottle of arsenic.Although they are all irritating and toxic chemicals, they are also essential tools for bird researchers. It is difficult to say that they must be related to the kidnapping and ticket tearing case.On the shelf in Nathan's study, there is a novel "The Hostage" by Robert Stevenson.Detectives also seized several samples of Nathan's typing and writing, as well as a leather spectacle case marked by Ormon Coy Optics.In Nathan's red Willie Cavalier, they found a tightly bound bundle of newspapers and several train timetables.

Prior to this, Chief Prosecutor Koro also sent someone to "invite" Richard Lowe, and the Chief Prosecutor himself questioned him. Friday, May 30. Hauer Meyer, a reporter for the Evening American, was woken at seven o'clock in the morning by the phone ringing and ordered by the editor to go to the Lowy's right away—quickly!Since the previous successful search of the kidnapper's phone number to Mr. Fankers at the Van der Polg & Ross pharmacy, the newspaper sent Hall to report on the case.Not every trainee reporter can enjoy such an honor. Howle arrived at Roy's house just in time to see Richard get out of the Mammoth police car. "Hey, Howl," Richard greeted as usual, "You know, I've always wanted to take a ride in Mammons, and today I finally got my wish."

The police came with a search warrant.With journalistic flair, Hall stalked a man in a sergeant's uniform. "These two kids are in big trouble," said the sergeant. "They're not telling the right stories." The sergeant told Hall that Richard said he said goodbye to Nathan after dinner on Wednesday afternoon. .But Nathan said they also found two prostitutes together.
