"Mr. Doria?" I'm Goodman, and your personal lawyer asked me to come. ”
"I thought you'd be late."
Adrian Doria is a thriving entrepreneur with a beautiful wife and a lively daughter.
Career and family double harvest, proper life winner.
Just as the so-called full of warmth and lust, the house flowers have the fragrance of wildflowers.
Behind the scenes, Adrian has maintained an improper physical relationship with the female photographer Laura for a long time.
The good times did not last long, and their relationship was discovered by others and blackmailed against him.
As a public figure, Adrian could not accept the serious consequences of the matter being exposed, so he and Laura agreed to the blackmail request -
Together, the two took 100,000 euros to a hotel three hundred kilometers away.
But Laura's death made Adrian the first suspect.
What really happened that day, only Adrian alone knows.
To exonerate him, Adrian found Virginia Goodman, a gold-medal female lawyer who had never lost a battle.
For this lawsuit, the female lawyer has the right to win.
But the prosecutor suddenly found a mysterious witness, which added more variables to the whole case, which is also the fundamental reason why the female lawyer came to Adrian in advance.
People like Adrian have more or less secrets they don't want people to know.
But if the information Adrian had provided too different from the truth, the lawsuit would likely have been the only fiasco in a woman's career.
She couldn't afford to gamble and didn't dare to gamble.
With only 180 minutes left in court, the woman's lawyer wants Adrian to say more details.
Forced to do so, Adrian had no choice but to tell what happened that day.
He came to the hotel with Laura with the money.
Two hours later, his phone suddenly received a text message from Laura.
It reads: I want to tell the truth, Room 715 of the Regency Hotel.
The two realized it was a trap and were planning to leave.
But out of nowhere, the mysterious man knocks Adrian unconscious and kills Laura.
The hundred thousand euros that had been extorted were also sprinkled on Laura's body for some reason.
A few minutes later, police broke in through the door and arrested Adrian.
According to witnesses, only screams were heard and no one was seen leaving.
Moreover, the door is locked by the safety chain on the inside, and the handle of the window is removed and cannot be opened.
All entrances and exits were inspected in detail and no suspicious signs of access were found.
If what Adrian said was true, it was a chamber murder.
But judging from the evidence currently available to the police, Adrian's words are more like nonsense.
He is entangled with his mistress and has a reasonable motive for committing the crime.
No traces of the presence of another person were detected at the scene.
The murder weapon that killed Laura had Adrian's fingerprints on it.
All the evidence pointed to Adrian.
And his previous statement is more like a lie made up out of thin air.
"In my 30-year career, there are two kinds of clients."
"One is to know that you are in danger, and even if you have to, you still confess it."
"The other is to be clever, insincere but think that you can withdraw from the whole body, you belong to the latter kind." 」
Seeing that Adrian was still a dead duck with a hard mouth, the female lawyer used her professional experience to tell him -
Stop lying and tell your secret.
Seeing that the time passed minute by minute, and at the same time worried that he would be ruined after going to prison, Adrian decided to tell the truth -
Three months ago, Adrian went to Bergh to meet Laura in the name of a meeting in Paris.
The next day, the two men, who had gotten up late, crossed the path backwards to the airport.
Halfway through, Adrian shows laura that he doesn't want to cheat on his wife anymore and wants to end their relationship.
Just as the two were arguing, the car collided with another car.
Daniel, the driver who was not wearing a seat belt, was killed on the spot.
Adrian intends to call the police, but is stopped by Laura.
If they call the police, their affair will be known, which will be devastating to laura and Adrian's family business.
When the two were about to hit-and-run, the car could not catch fire because of the impact just now, and what was even more unfortunate was that another car happened to pass by at this time.
In order to prevent the driver Xiao Fat from discovering this matter, Laura and Adrian pretended to be two people's car rear-ended, and successfully passed the pass.
Now that there are witnesses to the accident, if they continue to put Daniel's body here, they will be found according to clues when the police arrive.
Next, Adrian was responsible for handling Daniel's body and vehicle, while Laura stayed where she was to find a way to dispose of the car that couldn't catch fire.
Before the two separated, Laura agreed to Adrian's idea of breaking up.
Adrian then drove the car into a remote swamp and sank into the water along with Daniel's body.
After disposing of the body, Adrian finds Laura with a prepaid phone card.
In the car, Laura recounted her experience —
After the car broke down, Laura planned to call a trailer, but she was in a difficult position.
The barren mountains and wild mountains are deviating from the navigation, and it is really difficult to say.
But Laura was lucky enough to wait a while to meet Thomas, who had worked as an engineer at BMW and now runs her own repair shop.
While Thomas towed the car home for repairs, his wife, Elvira, entertained Lola.
Originally an actress, Elvira married and had children after meeting Thomas in the troupe.
While Laura and Elvira were chatting, they accidentally learned that Daniel, who had died in a car accident, was the son of their old couple.
Seeing her son, who had been delayed, Elvira called Daniel.
However, during the day, Laura accidentally left Daniel's mobile phone with herself.
In a panic, she quickly hid the phone on the couch, pretending that Daniel had forgotten to take it.
After listening to Laura's description, Adrian realized that the Thomases might find out about them.
But Laura came up with a solution —
Adrian disposes of the car before going to the police station to report the loss of the vehicle.
Then he pretended to return from Paris and stayed in the city for one night.
Despite his guilt, Adrian's life was not substantially affected.
It wasn't until Daniel's disappearance was on the news that he was called by the police to question him.
"Police found traces of two cars five kilometers from the boy's disappearance, but there were no reports or accident records."
"The father of the missing child found a woman in an accident at the same scene on the day of his son's disappearance."
"The woman told the father of the missing child that she had hit a deer, but the signs at the scene were that she had hit another car."
"We assume that the woman who had the accident covered up the truth with the help of her accomplices."
"The car the woman drove was registered in Adrian's name."
Adrian then denied that the incident was related to him on the grounds that he had gone to Paris that day and the car had been stolen.
But not going to Paris became suspicious.
So Adrian asked the lawyer to get him an alibi.
A few days later, police confirmed his alibi.
That's how it ended.
Because the police have new evidence that Daniel did not die in a car accident, but absconded in fear of crime.
He is suspected of using his banking authority to embezzle up to €50,000 from customers.
All this is in Laura's hands.
"What are you talking about? Your mistress is both a photographer and a computer expert? Are you making the judge feel like you're insulting their INTELLIGENCE? ”
After listening to Adrian's story, the female lawyer felt that she was being played.
But Adrian revealed another message —
Laura worked at the bank and met her husband there, perhaps for her.
Soon after, the success of his career brought Adrian's popularity to the peak.
But thomas, the father of the missing boy, found him at this time.
It turned out that Daniel had called his mother that day, so it was impossible for the mobile phone to stay at home.
At that time, only Laura had visited their home, which was obviously related to the disappearance of their son.
Coupled with the fact that Laura adjusted her seat before starting the car, it showed that it was not her car before.
Combining the clues in their hands, the Thomases deduce that their son's disappearance is related to Laura and Adrian.
Daniel was later smeared as a fearful absconder, which caused Thomas's wife to collapse and be hospitalized.
Under the multiple blows, thomas's determination to find out the truth was strengthened.
Because at this time he had nothing to lose.
"Two murders, two corpses, and your mistress's murder is directly related to Daniel's death."
"But there was only one murder for the police because there was only one body. There's another murder for you and the Thomases, and that's the missing boy. ”
"The Thomases thought you were the murderer, and now Laura is dead, so the murderer is the only one left..."
Based on Adrian's description, the female lawyer sorted out the clues and unraveled the method of killing people in the hotel secret room.
Just as she was about to make her reasoning, she was interrupted by Adrian—
"I haven't told you how we got blackmailed into going to the hotel."
Adrian had previously received an envelope with the letter sender writing Daniel.
There was a picture of the swamp in the envelope, much like the place where his body had been buried.
There is also a recording that says that he knows what he has done with his female partner and asks for a sealing fee of 100,000 euros.
Adrian's purpose is clear, he hopes to lock the suspicion of the incident killing on the driver Xiao Fat who accidentally passes by.
Xiao Fat extorted him for the sake of money, so that he had nothing to do with Daniel's death.
But the female lawyer immediately punched him in the face, and you will explain these three problems:
1. How do you interpret the text messages received on your phone?
2. Why didn't the murderer take the money? Extortion does not seek money to figure out what?
3. How did the murderer get in and out of this chamber? No trace has been left yet.
Faced with these three intractable problems, the female lawyer said her thoughts -
When you and Laura arrived at the station, the person blackmailing you called at five o'clock in the afternoon.
To prevent outsiders from seeing them together, Laura went alone to answer the call.
At the behest of the extortionists, Laura put her phone in the trash and took the train with Adrian to Room 715 of the Regency Hotel.
After waiting in the room for a while, Adrian received a text message from Laura's mobile phone.
Realizing that the two men were about to leave, they were attacked.
And all this is the work of the father of the missing boy Daniel.
Thomas knew that the police were protecting his son's killer, and he personally laid out the bureau-
Killing one of the murderers and then blaming the other is the perfect plan.
The reason Thomas had free access to Room 715 was that Thomas's wife was an employee of the hotel.
This was confirmed by the photos in the newspaper.
Therefore, the Regency Hotel is not chosen casually, but intentionally.
The photographs and recordings of the swamp received earlier were deliberate traps set by Thomas in order to disturb Adrian's thoughts.
Sure enough, he was deceived and took Laura's life.
Just as the female lawyer had analyzed Thomas's overall plan, she received a phone call.
Aides told her that the mysterious witness in the prosecutor's hand was the driver Adrian had been looking for.
This time, once again, let the case be in trouble -
If Fatty said truthfully, Adrian was at the scene of the crime, then in any case, it was inseparable from Daniel's disappearance.
In view of this, the women lawyer hypothesized a situation.
If Adrian hadn't been with Laura on the day of the accident, he would have been in Paris at the time, based on the forged alibi.
Berge's house was rented by Laura personally, so he wasn't involved in the car accident that killed Daniel either.
The license plate information and other relevant evidence were orchestrated by Laura in order to fake the illusion that Daniel had absconded in fear of crime.
All that is left is to convince the judge that Adrian is also a victim of Laura's plan.
He would show up at the hotel that day because Laura was asking him for help.
Until then, Adrian knew nothing about Daniel.
It's just that Thomas takes it for granted that his son's disappearance is attributed to him.
In other words, the female lawyer intends to blame Daniel's disappearance on Laura, and Laura's death was caused by Thomas, and Adrian is in a state of "not knowing, not knowing, not being fooled" throughout the incident.
According to this line of thinking, Daniel's body needs to be related to Laura, that is, There must be Laura's items near Daniel's body.
In this way, Adrian only helped Laura hide the accident, which is much lighter than the murder.
There is only one step left to exonerate. Adrian asked sharply—
"If the most important information is in the hands of the prosecutor, how can I get away with it?"
"The driver, Xiao Fat, asked me to meet at the scene of the accident, and my lawyer was planning to bribe him."
That is to say, if Xiao Fat was already in the hands of the prosecutor at this time, he witnessed two people at the scene.
All this mentioned by the female lawyer earlier is meaningless.
"Prosecutors don't have any secret witnesses."
After listening to Adrian's question, the female lawyer confessed that she had lied to him in order to let him tell the truth.
And Adrian also said the reason why he lied to her before -
He wanted to confirm whether the female lawyer was really capable of worthy of his fate.
Adrian then marked the location of the body on a map.
But he went on to say something even harsher—
Daniel wasn't dead at the time, and he still had one breath left.
But instead of saving him, Adrian continued to choose to destroy the body.
Because Daniel's body was found, the evidence was basically conclusive.
Drowning is not the same as sinking a corpse after death, and the amount of water in the stomach is not the same.
After hearing this, the female lawyer angrily scolded Adrian as a personal scum.
Before leaving the room, based on her distrust of Adrian, the female lawyer speculated about another possibility -
It was Adrian who took Daniel's relic, and it was he who absconded daniel for his crime.
With Adrian's power and connections, it is entirely possible to do this without leaving a trace.
In this way, it becomes a different angle completely.
The car accident was dominated by Adrian from beginning to end, and Laura was the one who was forced to the edge and had no way out.
According to medical reports, Laura developed an acute anxiety disorder after that incident.
This is completely different from the cold and ruthless image described earlier by Adrian.
Especially if this matter is dominated by Laura, then when he sees that Daniel is not dead, his first reaction should be to save people rather than destroy the body.
Guilt upsets Laura, and she discovers that there's only one way to free herself—
It is impossible to return the boy to his parents, but he can tell them the truth.
Laura and Thomas meet at the hotel.
Then hinting at Adrian, the driver Chubby learns the truth and blackmails her.
Afraid of the East Window incident, Adrian had to accompany Laura to the Regency Hotel.
"Give them the money," "Tell them where the body was buried," "Go and turn yourself in together," that's Laura's way of atonement.
In a hurry, Adrian smashed Laura to death with the ornaments in the hotel, and then faked the scene.
Since the Thomases knew that Adrian was Laura's killer, why didn't they call the police?
They feared that Adrian had deliberately failed to name the location of the body in order to escape the crime.
Without a corpse, there is no conviction.
Since then, Thomas has followed Adrian like a shadow, mastering his every move.
At this point Adrian realized that he had been calculated, but the pictures of Mrs. Thomas in the newspapers could still prove that what he had said was more true.
Who knew that the female lawyer told him that the newspaper was fake, and that Mrs. Thomas's photo was composited and modified and put on it.
At this point, Adrian's fate seems to be all in the hands of the female lawyer.
The female lawyer temporarily left on the grounds of taking a break, but Adrian found something strange.
Turn off the phone, the voice recorder, the notes left by the female lawyer...
As Adrian stood in front of the window, he found the female lawyer standing with Thomas in the opposite room.
As the female lawyer takes off her mask and wig, Adrian's end seems preordained.
