Chapter 101 Section 4

Twenty minutes later, at the forensic laboratory, Gloria Fanco was still off work.Now, she entered the laboratory of Dr. Marco Claus and whispered something in the coroner's ear, and the doctor put down the scalpel. In the corridor, Dr. Claus took off a plastic glove, took the photo handed over by the police officer, looked at it for a moment, and nodded silently. Back in the lab, Dr. Claus didn't continue his work right away.He took off the name tag on the toe of the female corpse on the dissecting table and changed it to "Atian Jiaxika Jones 954705T". As the news reached the Jones family, it also reached Mansfield Secondary School.This morning, the police department had notified the principal Jerry Kirby that the school's 10th grade girl Artian Jones was missing. "We often have children missing," Principal Bryant said into the microphone. "Fortunately, most of them come back on their own within 24 hours." Phone inquiries.

Before lunch, many children started whispering, and by the afternoon, the news of Yatian's disappearance had spread like wildfire among more than 2,000 students.When Jerry Kirby received a call from the police confirming the death of Artian, he immediately called an assembly of the students who remained at the school after school, briefly announced the sad news, and encouraged the children to express their feelings in various ways and ideas. The girls immediately hugged each other in three or five, crying.The boys were silent, pounding their fists against the walls around them or banging the metal locker doors.

Several senior students immediately drove to the scene on Sedeng Road.The gates to the Fosters Ranch are closed.A boy found two branches, one long and one short, in the nearby woods, tied them with a piece of red cable into the shape of a cross, and hung them on the barbed wire fence of the pasture.On the other side of the fence, on the blood-stained grass, the human figure left by Yatian's body is still faintly discernible. In the bitter cold wind, the children silently took off their hats and bowed their heads to the pasture. Afterwards, a reporter said in the report: "God knows how these children found the scene. Many reporters are still asking for the driving direction after several days, but obviously, the children know all about it."

In the days that followed, more and more adults and children came here.The fenced section of the Fosters ranch was quickly filled with flowers, candles, balloons, teddy bears and scraps of paper with poems written by the children themselves. Also earlier in the day, Linda Jones called Lianne Burke, the coach of the Mansfield High School cross-country team. "Artian's gone," Linda said. "Is there a Devin on the cross-country team?" "Yes." Liane said. "He seems to have called Artian last night." Liane later said she didn't understand why Linda made the call.As far as she knew, Devin and Artian weren't even friends.

In the impression of this female coach, Devon is not an outstanding long-distance runner, but he is also well-known in Mansfield Middle School, because he is a member of the Air Force Junior Reserve, a "student in uniform" , and tall and tall, often before the school football game starts, or during the halftime break, he strides forward to the center of the field holding the American flag proudly. Liane Burke sent a girl named April Groman to find Devon to check.Devon was in math class, April asked Devon if he called Artian the night before. "Have I called Artian?" Devon stared at April, as if she asked a very strange question, "Why should I call her? No!" Definitely.

Liane Burke and April Groman thought that if Devon said no, he must not, because Devon's personality hardly allowed anyone to doubt what he did. Devon's full name is Devon Christopher Glenmont, the fourth of four children in the Glenmont family, who just turned 18 two months ago.Devon is a Grade 12 student at Mansfield Middle School. He is 183 meters tall. Although he is not an excellent athlete, he has a strong physique like an athlete.Dai Wen was reticent and rarely participated in parties among his classmates, so he didn't have many friends, and naturally he was not very popular, but he was respected by his classmates, and he had a kind of unyielding self-prestige.Some of the boys even called him "Colonel Glenmonds," which was a title of respect and Devon's "rank" in the Air Force Junior Reserve.There are even more compliments from the girls, saying that he is handsome, cool, deep, manly, and so on.

An open-minded girl later told the reporter: "When you reach the age to get married, your mother will always nagging in your ears, what kind of boy is a suitable son-in-law candidate. Devon is that kind of person. I I bet even the pickiest mother-in-law in the world wouldn't be able to find fault with Devon." Another girl commented on Devon: "He is the kind of boy who always makes parents proud." One thing is certain, Devon Glenmonds had the stamina, or self-control, to hold himself back from doing things he shouldn't have done.The United States is a society full of temptations, especially for young people who are not deeply involved in the world.For example, almost all of Devon's peers have been involved in or tried smoking, drinking, and drug abuse to varying degrees, not to mention dating or even having sex with the opposite sex.But when Dawen's classmates recalled later, none of them remembered that he had done such things.

Devon has many admirers among the lower grade students of Mansfield Middle School. They spread the story of Devon like a myth. For example, Devon joined the Air Force Junior Reserve at the age of 12; Obtained a pilot license at the age of 14 (in the United States, the legal driving age is 16); after graduating from middle school, Devon will go to the US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado; Devon's ideal is to be an astronaut ; Devon is a sharpshooter, he is not only familiar with all kinds of firearms, but also collected a lot of guns; what's more rare, Devon is also a top student with all A's in all his homework.Perhaps inherited from his parents who were teachers, Devon was unusually bright. It is said that he often dozed off in French class, but still got an A in the final exam.
