The people in the village were all very friendly.In his impression,these villagers were all very nice.Moreover,although David Brown was mentally ill,the people in the village were very good to him and had no prejudice against him.
If there was prejudice,how could his family have allowed him to play with David Brown when he was a child?
"No.In my impression,there is no such person."
My mind was very confused now.David Brown's death had disrupted all my thoughts.
We began to search for useful clues in David Brown's house.
When I came to David Brown's bedroom,I saw a photo placed on the mirror in his bedroom.In the photo,there were three children.One was me,one was David Brown,and the other was a little girl.This was a photo taken by my grandfather of the three of us,our best childhood playmates.
I took down the photo.Although the photo was a bit yellowed,it was very clean.David Brown had never forgotten me,but I hadn't come back to see him for more than ten years.
Thinking about it carefully,I actually felt a deep sense of guilt in my heart.
Just at this moment,Lily Thompson's voice suddenly came from over there.
"Has David Brown always lived alone?"
Lily Thompson's voice pulled me back to reality.
I walked over when I heard the sound and found that Lily Thompson had an extremely serious expression in the guest bedroom.It seemed that she had found some clues.
"I think so.I haven't seen David Brown for more than ten years."
At this moment,I also noticed what Lily Thompson had found.It was a strand of long hair.Yes,long hair.
Why was there a strand of a woman's long hair in David Brown's house?
"Could this hair be from one of the victims?"
"Impossible.According to my experience,this should be the hair of a young woman.Among the more than twenty victims,have you seen a young girl in her twenties?"
"You're from this village.Do you know if there is a young girl in her twenties in the village who is familiar with David Brown?"
Lily Thompson's words suddenly stirred up my thoughts,and a name emerged in my mind.
Amanda Smith!
This Amanda Smith was none other than the little girl in the photo just now.
David Brown was a clean person,which meant that this strand of hair was left recently,not long ago.
