Ward 404.

Hermann Weide poured a cup of coffee.

While drinking coffee and watching the news, this shooting was definitely a big event and he had to think about it carefully.

"Hey, sweetheart, let me in... Sweetheart, let me in quickly..." The phone rang with voice and video.

Herman Wade liked this ringtone very much and pressed the answer button, "Hey, Benson."

"Herman, I'm glad you could answer the video in person. I was shocked when I heard you were injured yesterday."

Herman smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm just letting you rejoice in vain. You won't be able to inherit my CD."

"Haha... I feel relieved when I hear you kidding.

I originally planned to go see you, but they are also going..." Benson twisted the camera and captured the crowd behind him,

"I was worried that it would affect your recovery, so I made a video call."

Everyone behind Benson greeted him warmly.

An Asian man asked with concern, "Herman, I heard you were injured. Is it serious?"

A black man laughed and said, "We are discussing how you got injured, can you tell us?"

Another white man joked, "Dude, turn your ass over and let's see if it's serious?"

Herman Weide shook his head, "You guys must have bet on me again. My shoulder is injured. Don't guess or think."

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

Herman smiled bitterly and said, "Benson, you were right not to bring them here."

Benson shouted to the people behind him, "Guys, be quiet, Herman needs to recuperate now." After Benson finished speaking, he showed a concerned look, "How is the injury? Is it serious?"

"I suffered a gunshot wound to my shoulder. Fortunately, the bullet didn't stay in my body. I'm lucky."

Benson asked, "How did you get injured? Can you tell us?"

Herman thought for a moment, "The situation at that time was quite complicated. I saw a gunman chasing a classmate and shooting, so I went over to help him and attract the gunman's attention.

The other party turned around and shot me. I even felt like I could see the bullet flying over. I thought I was going to die and almost never saw you nasty guys."

Benson smiled and said, "The most annoying thing is you. God will not want you."

Herman looked sad, "But Lev Kraft was not so lucky."

Benson sighed, "Yes, I heard that too, he was shot.

What a pity, he was a good rugby player, were you there?"

Herman sighed, "Yes, I saw the murderer chasing him. I tried to attract the murderer's attention, but... I still couldn't save him."

Benson asked, "Did you get injured to save Lev Kraft?"

"It's meaningless to talk about this now." Herman said perfunctorily and changed the subject, "Lev shouldn't have died like this. I can't forget the situation at that time..."

Benson said, "You're right, Lev was the best running back I've ever seen and we will all miss him.

He will always be a part of the school.

We want to hold a memorial event for him. In fact, it is not just him, Josie Alyssa, Chad Kress, and Barbara Dambu ​​are all part of this school and should be remembered."

Herman said, "You're doing the right thing, is there anything I can do?"

"Of course, you have experienced this disaster, and no one has more say than you." After Benson finished speaking, he pointed to the black girl next to him,

"Tina proposed to organize a 'school strike'. You are also a victim of the incident. We want to hear your thoughts."

The black girl Tina said, "Yes Herman, you should stand up, you have the right."

Herman nodded, "I absolutely agree that such a serious shooting incident occurred only because of the inaction of the government, FBI and LAPD.

They wantonly use taxpayers' money but fail to protect the safety of taxpayers' children. They should be condemned.

I will stand up and seek justice on behalf of other victims and those who died."

"Dongdong..."

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Hey, man, maybe the doctor is here to change the dressing. Let's talk later." Herman hung up the phone.

"Please come in."

"Creak..." The door opened.

Luke, Xiaohei and Holip walked into the ward.

"Inspector Luke.

Holip! Why are you here? I was just about to see you."

Hollip said, "Inspector Luke said that our confessions don't match up and he wants me to talk to you."

"Uh..." Herman Vader patted his forehead, "Is this necessary?"

"The on-site surveillance is broken. It is necessary for us to reconstruct the incident through the testimony of witnesses." Luke changed the subject and said, "Herman, please describe the incident again."

"Does Holip have to be there too?"

"Is there a problem?"

"I just want to ask if this complies with the regulations?"

"We have already made a transcript once and collected evidence. Now we need to re-verify it to prevent anyone from committing perjury."

Hearing the word "witness", Herman's expression became serious. The sentence for perjury in Los Angeles is not light.

"Ah, I was scared at the time. Maybe I didn't express myself very clearly."

"So, I'll let you describe it again."

"Uh..." Herman looked at Holip and hesitated. This guy was 195cm tall and as strong as a cow. Thinking of the scene of him running rampant on the field, Herman felt a little cold in his heart.

Hollip was a little impatient, "Hey, Herman, I heard you saved me?"

"No, I didn't say that." Herman quickly denied.

Holip showed an angry look, "Did you save Lev from being injured?"

"Well... the situation at that time was quite complicated. It's hard to explain clearly what happened at the scene..." Herman hesitated, not daring to look at Holip.

Holip pointed his finger at Herman and yelled, "You are a liar who tells lies! It was Lev who saved you, and we diverted the gunman away. This is how you repay Lev."

Herman Weide took a few steps back, "The situation was too chaotic. I didn't understand the situation, and I wasn't sure you were here to save me."

"Then why did you lie?"

"I didn't mean to lie, maybe there was something wrong with my expression. I was scared at the time, and maybe we were in different places... Anyway, I apologize to you.

Now that I heard what you said, I recalled some of it carefully, and it does seem that you helped me lure away the gunman.

My heart is full of gratitude, thank you." Herman looked at Holip with a guilty conscience, fearing that the other party would bump into him impulsively.

"Detective, can you please get him out? I want to talk to you alone."

Luke said to Holip on the side, "Holip, the matter has been cleared up, thank you."

"I'm happy to do this." After Holip finished speaking, he pointed at Herman Veidt. "If you dare to frame Lev again, you will be dead."

Luke waved his hand, "Hey, don't say this in front of me, it will make me very embarrassed, okay?"

"Sorry, Detective, I will talk to him again in private." Holip said this and turned around and left the ward.

Hermann Weide sat down on the bed and let out a sigh of relief.

Xiao Hei smiled and asked Herman, "Hey, why are you so scared?"

"My grandfather said, don't argue with simple-minded people.

This guy is 195cm tall. If he goes crazy, he can knock me out of the fourth floor window." Herman looked scared.

Luke asked, "Do you know about perjury?"

"Sorry, Detective, I didn't mean to lie, I didn't intend to commit perjury.

Lev is dead. If others know that he died to save me...

I don't want to be thought of as a coward.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone, nor did I mean to affect the police investigation. I apologize to you."

"You have already influenced me," Luke said sternly, "I need you to describe the incident at the discovery site again."

The police have never figured out the reason for the shooting. One way to reconstruct the truth of the incident is through the confessions and transcripts of the people involved.

If someone involved in the case lies, it is likely to affect the police's judgment.

For example, Herman's previous confession said that the murderer had been chasing Lev Kraft, and that he was injured in order to lure the shooter.

Based on this description, the gunman’s target was Lev Kraft, but Herman was not the murderer’s target.

But that's not how it was described from Hollip's mouth.
