One day, Mike called Johnny Mack (John McAtch), her former partner, and reported the suicide of Jennifer Rockwell, the daughter of a colonel. Mike had to go and notify the girl’s parents about what had happened. Mike did not care at all, but she knew Jennifer from the age of eight. A colonel once brought the drunk Mike to his home and the whole family with the help of his personal doctor (Hi Talkinghorn) went Mike. Now, after suicide, the colonel, distraught with grief, asks Mike to investigate this case. He is sure that this is her husband – Trader Faulkner – a scientist, killed her. However, after an exhausting interrogation, Mike realizes that he did not do it, and this is just conjectures of Colonel Tom Rockwell. This all seemed to be over, but no. Still, although the police should not care about this matter, riddles remain. So there were no apparent reasons for Jennifer’s suicide. She was an extraordinary beauty, a clever girl, an athlete (she played tennis). She devoted herself to astrophysics, worked in some research institute. At the same time was not arrogant. Fate gave her everything she could dream about. She was cheerful, cheerful, sociable and friendly with everyone. As soon as it turns out with her husband they loved each other to insanity, while everything was very romantic. In terms of sex, everything was just OK ‘. But at the funeral, Mike again was now pestered by Jennifer’s mother, Miriam, saying that according to the results of the survey, Mike took lithium, a powerful psychotropic drug.

But at the funeral, Mike again was now pestered by Jennifer’s mother, Miriam, saying that according to the results of the survey, Mike took lithium, a powerful psychotropic drug.
Again the investigation (it is clear that the private). It turns out that:
A week before the suicide, Jennifer had to submit some huge work to the institute. But when this work was checked by its chief, it turned out that all the figures in it were taken from the ceiling and now the institute is put in a very uncomfortable position. However, he did not have time to read for it: she died.
Hai Talkingorn – the family doctor said that she was absolutely healthy, so she does not even have a medical card.
With the money she was all right. The bill is big. There were no debts.
A regular partner is a trader, but can there be someone else? It turns out she has appointed a date to somebody – Arnold Debs, but for some reason Mike gave the phone. So Mike came to the meeting. As it turned out, Arn saw Jennifer only once, they met at a bar in a chic hotel, they only kissed once.
In his youth, there were upheavals. A man was courting Jennifer, but some trouble arose. In addition, Jennifer lived in the same room with a girl Phyllida. She could not stand the stress, she started to go crazy – moo and so on. She managed to finish her studies only because she was constantly using zinc, manganese, steel and chrome, etc. But it was psychologically impossible to live with her. Phyllida left the city after school. But recently returned. It turned out that Jennifer visited her and somehow Fellida lost five or six tablets of stabilizers of psycho-emotional state.
In the apartment Jennifer found a forbidden book about suicide with litters in the fields.
Mike also met with professional cutie Poly Nou, who conducted the autopsy Jennifer. There were no lesions of internal organs that could have been caused by lithium use (it can be concluded that she used drugs for a very short time).
“Today I read in the Times an article about a newly discovered mental disorder called” a paradise syndrome. “And I thought: you can not dig further, which is what Jennifer suffered. It turns out that this ailment makes the near millionaires – movie stars, rock singers, sportsmen – your ass. ” “Psychologists who studied cases of suicide used to say this: the more terrible the suicide method, the harder the blow that the suicide calculates to inflict on your loved ones.” A three-shot shot as a counterbalance to the threefold cheers. “What sober calculation.” What an ice-cold composure. “She hurt alive.” “I have nothing to tell Colonel Tom, only lies: his daughter’s lies.” Sir, your daughter did not have a reason to commit suicide, she just had high standards, which we did not match. ” But in fact, when Mike called, she told the colonel that his daughter was on the edge, she used to buy rubbish on the street for a year. With Trader, too, did not get along – she had another man. The classical scheme, the disintegration of personality. This ended the conversation, although Tom realized that something was wrong with Mike and continued to call. “That’s it – the end, everything.” Running to the battery, there’s a tavern on every corner… “
