most important clue

 

I followed Officer Field to the clubhouse baseball field, and my friend Don Jerry was playing baseball with a young man there. After Tang Jerry saw us, he greeted his golf friends and came to us. He said: "This young man is the supervisor of the baseball field, and he helped us find the most important clue." I looked back at the young man, and he saw me, waved to me, and walked away.

We sat down in the small cafe in the clubhouse.

Don Jerry begins to tell us the story of this young man:

This young man is called O. Raleigh Porter, born in a small town in North Carolina, USA to a doctor's family. He didn't read much, and since he was 15 years old, he has been working in a small pharmacy run by his uncle. Five years later, due to health reasons, he went to work as a handyman at a golf course in West Texas. Later, he successively worked as an accountant, a clerk and a physician assistant. At the age of 22, he worked as a cashier in a credit union. Soon, the credit union found that there was a shortage of a small sum of money, and O. Raleigh Porter was summoned by the court for suspicion. Because of his timidity, he fled to Portland for refuge. He was later arrested by the police and sentenced to five years in prison.

Considering that he knew a little knowledge and work experience in pharmacy, the prison authorities assigned him to work as a pharmacist in the prison pharmacy. He came into contact with all kinds of prisoners and heard all kinds of crime stories. He met prisoner William Sidney in prison. William Sidney is a young entomologist who has a special research on insects. While serving his sentence, he continued to study various insects. O. Raleigh Porter became the best assistant to help him collect insects. William Sidney once worked as an assistant coach at a baseball stadium. Both have worked in baseball stadiums, so baseball is also the topic they usually talk about the most. William Sidney was arrested for participating in a gang fight while attending a speech rally. However, he has a keen interest in politics, and he hopes to become a politician.

About nine months later, the credit union where O. Raleigh Porter had worked identified the real criminals who embezzled the money. Porter was acquitted, and the owner of the credit union he used to work for expressed his apology to O. Raleigh Porter, gave him a lot of financial compensation, and recommended him to play baseball in the clubhouse of the HELLO Hotel in Athens. field work. William Sidney also came to Athens after his release from prison, and they met often.

Don Jerry was smoking a cigarette, and a hint of imperceptible excitement flashed across his indifferent face: "This O. Raleigh Porter brought us an important clue. He told me that before Scarlett was murdered, she had a relationship with William ... Sidney had a fierce quarrel because of different views on the U.S.-Iraq war. Scarlett is also a baseball fan, and she often comes to the baseball field to exercise. She is an animal protectionist, and William Sidney is A young entomologist, so they share a common language, and sometimes they often go to the field to collect insects together. However, the political views of the two are completely different. Scarlett believes that the Bush administration is using the war machine with lies to decimate the Iraqi people. Pushed into the abyss of suffering with American soldiers, Bush is an extremely inhuman war executioner, he has damaged the credibility and national image of the Americans. William Sidney believes that politics is unscrupulous, and a politician can achieve his goals. Do whatever you think is worth doing. He admires Bush's boldness.

"From this point of view, it must be William Sidney who killed Scarlett!" I finally understood the cause of the cat street murder, and I voiced my judgment. Tang Jerry glanced at me, and I saw my gaffe in his eyes, and I quickly corrected my opinion: "However, killing my friends just because of some different views on the US-Iraq War It seems unreasonable."
