Chapter 3 3. When the god of death faces the coke bone

A sensational story that sheds light on a clueless case.Do dismembered and burned bones speak?The Grim Reaper who brutally killed the girl never expected that two years later, he would be punished by the law and face the talking bones.Death also trembled... It's been two years.For the past two years, however, Billy Brown has been suffering inwardly.He wanted to forget it completely and start a new life, but she haunted him like a nightmare.He had nightmares almost every night, often of that distorted face from suffocation.Every night in his dream, that face told him his sorrow and his ruthlessness...

Billy originally wanted to forget everything about the past, but his girlfriend Kane's outing brought his memory back to two years ago... Billy was blocked in an abandoned factory by heavy rain because he went out for an outing with Kane.It was raining heavily, and Billy and Kane were shivering because they were getting wet.They clung to each other for warmth, but their wet bodies were still cold.So, they searched in the factory building, hoping to find something to keep warm.Later, they found some flammable materials and lit a bonfire in the factory building.Billy took off his clothes to dry first, put them on Kane, and then baked the clothes for Kane.Kane, who has played tricks and then served tricky Kane, has made Billy feel tired.How he wished to take a bath, and then lie down on the big bed at home and have a good sleep.Thinking of this, Billy unconsciously lay down on Kane's lap and fell asleep.Kane knew that Billy was tired after being "tortured" by herself for a day, so she put on her own clothes after the clothes dried, and put on Billy's clothes.The two of them just fell asleep in the abandoned factory building.

Suddenly, Kane was awakened by Billy's scream, and subconsciously stood up and shouted.However, she didn't know what was going on, and only screamed out of fear.Her actions elicited an even louder scream from Billy, and yelled at you to stay away.It seems that tonight is no exception with beautiful women around, and Billy is having nightmares again.The reason why he screamed so miserably was because today's scene was very similar to that night that he could never forget.And because Kane stood up too violently, all the clothes she was wearing fell to the ground. She stood naked in front of Billy like this, as if the previous scene was repeated.

When Kane realized Billy was having nightmares, she smiled and said, "Honey, what's wrong with you? It's not the first time you've…" Before Kane could finish speaking, Billy suddenly came to his senses as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him.Although Kane knew that he often had the same nightmare, every time he asked him, he didn't want to say anything, but this time Billy couldn't help Kane's repeated questioning, and finally plucked up the courage to tell Kane the story of two years ago . That day was also a stormy night. John Keough, Billy Brown, and Rosie Laner, the three have known each other for many years, and they are always inseparable no matter where they go.When they were young, there was no gender distinction between them, just like good buddies and sisters.But with the passage of time and the growth of age, the relationship between them is no longer as simple as buddies and sisters, but subtle changes have taken place.

That night, John took Rosie and Billy to spend the weekend at his grandparents' empty house.After some shopping at a local store along the way, the three of them headed to the basement of John's grandparents' old house to party.They were drinking and dancing.Later, when they didn't think it was exciting enough, John suggested a fist fight, and the winner would get a kiss from Rosie.Rossi and Billy, who were drunk, accepted John's proposal without hesitation.But they didn't know that John already had his own plan in mind. It turned out that he had fallen in love with Rosie, and he just wanted to test his weight in Rosie's heart to see if Rosie would really give Billy a hot kiss face to face.If Rosie loved him too, her kiss to Billy would have been perfunctory.However, John's wishful thinking failed.Although he intentionally lost to Billy several times, what he saw was a real fiery and deep kiss, and Billy's hands were not honest, and kept "walking" on Rossi.In fact, Rossi and Billy have been in love for a long time, but John was kept in the dark.This time, the drunken two didn't shy away from being around John at all, as if he was a transparent person.

Although he was willing to gamble and admit defeat, seeing Rossi and his buddies act recklessly in front of his eyes like this, John was about to collapse.He roared angrily: "I'm tired, stop playing, take a shower and go to sleep." As they showered together, Rosie had no idea that danger was approaching her. After the shower, Rosie stood in front of the mirror and combed her hair.John took a piece of wire that he didn't know was removed from a radio or other household appliances, and strangled Rosie's neck.At first Rosie thought he was joking, and gestured with both hands, as if to say: Come on, strangle me.Who knows, John played for real. He tightened the wire and strangled Rossi to death.John then took a meat knife and cut Rosie's throat.

Billy froze when he witnessed John killing Rosie.When he came to his senses, it was too late to stop him.Later, under John's coercion and lure, Billy became his accomplice.In the bathroom, John chopped off Rosie's arms, legs and head, with Billy helping.Together they carried the fragments into the living room, where they intended to burn them in the fireplace.However, the fire burned for many hours, but the body was still not completely destroyed because the heat was not enough. Rossi's body was not completely burned.Billy and John removed the charred remains from the fireplace and put them in plastic bags.Billy's parents had a hunting cabin, and they had completely destroyed Rosie's body in a pit behind the house.

Since then, Rosie has disappeared completely, and no one but the two murderers knows what happened to her.At first, her parents didn't take it seriously because Rosie had run away from home before.Gradually, Rossi's parents were very worried, because although Rossi had run away from home before, the time was relatively short, the longest being a week.She'd never been home for so long, let alone not in touch with her mother, and she'd at least made a phone call before.A few days later, she not only did not come back, but also did not contact her family. For this reason, her parents were very worried, so they called the police.

Despite a meticulous police investigation, no leads were found.In this way, Rossi's case has been like sinking into the sea, and there has been no progress.However, Billy didn't feel at ease because of this, he was always under the condemnation of conscience.He never dared to tell anyone about this secret that was buried in his heart. It was only because this stormy night resembled the scene two years ago that he was so tormented that he bit the bullet and told the truth. After hearing the story Billy told, Kane couldn't believe it.Later, under the encouragement of Kane, Billy told the truth to the police. He told the police this appalling story, describing in detail the process of John killing Rossi and destroying the body... But, Billy kept it from the police. One thing, he did not tell the police that Rossi's body had not been burned and the whereabouts of the body.

For two years, the police have been busy with Rossi's case, but there has been no progress.It wasn't until Billy's call was received that the police had a new direction. Despite Billy's testimony, this is still a very tricky case.The biggest difficulty in Rossi's case was proving the veracity of Billy's testimony.In addition, another difficulty in this case is that Rossi's body no longer exists.More than two years on, a murder without a body is almost doomed to remain unsolved.One can imagine how difficult it is.Nevertheless, the police made a detailed deployment after receiving Billy's call.

After re-examining the case, the police moved on.In order to find evidence, the police searched every corner of the house.If they wanted to find any traces of blood there, they had to rely on luminol.A miracle happened, and the police found a little blood on the wallpaper next to the bathroom.Although it is no longer visible to the naked eye, luminol still reacts with it.They found the bloodstain with luminol.Right on the wallpaper, it's maroon.They removed the piece of wallpaper and brought it back to the laboratory. After careful study under the microscope, they found that there was a crystal substance on it, which was consistent with the characteristics of blood. Although the amount of crystalline material is small, there is at least a glimmer of hope.In order to find out whether the blood was the same as Rosie's DNA, the police immediately went to Rosie's house and successfully found some of her hair in Rosie's room.Before going to Rossi's house, the police were very worried, because so much time had passed, they might not be able to find something that could prove Rossi's DNA smoothly.When the police arrived at Rosie's house and explained their purpose to her parents, her parents told the police that they hadn't touched Rosie's room, and even the floor of the room hadn't been cleaned or cleaned. They hoped that Rosie's things would be delivered one day Use it, solve the case as soon as possible. It seems that Rossi's parents really have the foresight.This time, if the dna in Rosie's hair is the same as the DNA in the blood found by the police, it will prove that what Billy said is true, thus proving that Rosie was killed. After finding Rossi's hair, the police specially invited Dr. Julia Howenstein, a well-known DNA expert.In the lab, Dr Howensteen compared the bloodstain to the DNA of each individual hair and concluded that the drop was from Rosie. Although Rosie's parents were mentally prepared, the couple almost fainted when they learned that the DNA in the bloodstained by the police matched the DNA in their daughter's hair.With tears in their eyes, they begged the police to solve the case as soon as possible and find that utterly conscientious guy... It has been found that the dna belongs to Rossi. Although the police can breathe a sigh of relief, the work of collecting evidence is still not over, and the most difficult task is yet to come. From Billy's description, the police learned that the body was divided in the bathroom. They suspected that there might be some bone fragments left in the drain pipe or sewer: since DNA can prove that Rossi was murdered, the police will Find a way to find the remains to further prove that the story Billy told is true. Billy said that after cutting up Rosie's body in the bathroom, he and John cleaned up the debris.They flushed the debris into the pump from near the bathroom, and the whole process started upstairs.According to Billy's testimony, the police found a package of physical evidence there, a jumble of indistinguishable objects, which were blocked in the sunken water pump.When the police opened the bag, they saw many small pieces of blackened things rolled out of the bag, and they were still making a "jingling" sound on the floor.What are these things?Billy didn't mention it before? When the police carefully identified it, they found that the things that rolled out were similar to human bones.Are these skeleton-like things Rosie's?Was it really here that Rosie was murdered, as Billy said? Although the bone fragments found by the police are very small, they are very likely to be fragments of human bones.To be on the safe side, the police brought in anthropologists Norman Saul and Wendy Lake.In the laboratory, two experts examined the fragments.To facilitate detection, they cut the fragments into thin slices only a few millimeters thick.The sliced ​​bone looks like a tree with a severed trunk but with a stump.This is what experts look for every time they look at these thin slices or look at a section of bone under a microscope.Only by finding it can it be determined whether it is a human bone, because such traits are unique to human bones.In addition, there are larger dogs, such as Alsa dogs, whose bone structure is very similar to human bones. Human life is at stake, so experts must not be ambiguous, and forensic science does not allow any mistakes.However, it is a pity that the skeletal elements were still severely damaged, and the dna could not be extracted, so it was impossible to confirm whether these broken bones were human bones, that is, whether they were Rossi's bones. Just when the case was deadlocked and the police couldn't find a breakthrough, Billy provided the police with some new information.Billy said that he and John thought of burning Rosie's body in order to destroy the body, but the fireplace was too small, and Rosie's body was not completely burned. Billy said frankly: "I was really forced by John, there was no other way for me to do these wicked things with him..." "Then what did you do with the unburned corpses?" After hearing Billy's words, the police asked. "Because of fear, we decided to completely destroy Rosie's body. It had been burning for several hours, but the body in the fireplace was still the same, and Rosie looked terrible, and we were also very scared. So, John and I Pulled the charred remains out of the fireplace and put it in a plastic bag," Billy recalled painfully. The policeman said, "Did you bury the body or..." "Billy's parents had a hunting cabin and we decided to destroy Rosie's body completely in a pit behind the house. It was hidden and no one would find out. Once we decided, we acted immediately. We found Some firewood, the remains burned for a full 12 hours. After the burning, we collected the ashes from the pit and drove north. Finally, the ashes were scattered in a parking lot, and the other large fragments were taken by us. Got to the lake and threw it off the pier into the water. By then we were sure we'd cleaned up all traces," Billy answered matter-of-factly, with his head down. There is no way out after mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.At a time when the police are at an impasse, Billy provides such an important lead.Now that you have decided to report on your friends, why not tell them all at once, and make such a big circle with the police?Is there an ulterior secret in it, or is there something else hidden? The police also felt strange, but they didn't have time to entangle Billy about these things at the moment.The top priority is to find Rossi's remains based on the clues provided by Billy, and then everything will come to light. Although several years have passed and it is difficult to find the bones of the deceased, the police are still full of confidence.The bathroom was so clean by the murderer, they could find clues, not to mention new clues appeared now. The police closely inspected the place where Billy said the body was cremated.There, police found burnt glass, some bent metal and lots of charcoal.They collected everything, and among them eight small bones were found.From the photos taken, it can be seen that they are photos of human skeletons.Its characteristic is that there are many circular patterns on it, some small black ducts called "bone channels", and some larger ones called "bone tissues", which are unique to human bones.Obviously, the police got a lot of results this time. These fragments are human bones, and they are probably Rossi's. In order to find the bones discarded by Billy and John, the police called in the diving team of the State Police Department to assist.They chipped away at the ice and dived to the lake bed in search of more bone fragments.Soon, the diving team was rewarded, bringing a few bones ashore.Maybe, that shouldn't be called a skeleton anymore.After these bones were fished up, the police found several bones here and experts immediately tested them.They sprinkled water on it to try to separate the stuff, then analyzed the characteristics of the bone fragments from the screen.Finally, from these fragments that cannot be called bones, the experts once again found typical human bones. Bloodstains, human bone fragments, all the evidence corroborates Billy's statement.John was indeed present at his grandparents' house at the time, and police found his fingerprints on a brandy bottle.Prosecutors believe that they already have enough evidence to bring the murderer John to justice. When the incident was revealed, the police began to hunt and arrest John with all their strength. John was not afraid at first, he thought that no one could do anything to him.John believes that he has successfully destroyed all the evidence after the murder without leaving any traces, and the accusation against him has only witnesses but no physical evidence.The fact is true in the early stage of detection, no one can do anything to him, and he did a lot of work for the elimination of corpses. However, the peak turned around, and with Billy's help, the police quickly found strong physical evidence.As a result, the police began to arrest John with all their strength.At this moment, John panicked and tried to escape.On the way to escape, John came out at night and day, and escaped the police several times.When he fled to the Mexican border, he thought he was going to be free, out of sight of the police.However, he didn't know that the big net cast by the police was waiting for him there.This time, it was Billy's girlfriend Kane who broke the news to the police.She said that John would fight Billy for everything, even his girlfriend, then and now.Before fleeing, John tried to persuade Kane to join him in his exile, and also told Kane the detailed escape plan.In order to get John arrested as soon as possible, Kane and the police jointly staged a play.In the end, John was caught exhausted and triumphant.At the time of his arrest, John was very arrogant.He said it never occurred to him for a second that he would be convicted or caught by the police.He felt that everything was under his control. When he was arrested, John was very arrogant, and he was playing a game of "mouse and cat" with the police. Soon, John was in court.The jury unanimously found that John killed Rosie out of rage, and the motive for the killing was that Rosie was in love with his friend, not him.He was sentenced to life in prison, and because of the brutality of the crime, he will never be able to reduce his sentence.Although Billy was an accomplice, in the end he was sentenced to a very light sentence because he contributed to the cracking of the case. He was only sentenced to one year in prison. At the last moment, the frenzied John roared heartbreakingly in the courtroom: "Billy, it's all because of you, it's all because of you that I ended up like this today, what a misfortune to make friends... because of you, I killed me deeply The woman I love; because of you, I am a fugitive; because of you, I was arrested... Your happiness is always built on my pain; your freedom is also built on my pain... Billy, You are a villain, I hate you!"
