Un Lampo di Bianco Scene 39

“So what happened to him?” K.J. asked.
“About twenty years ago – I was a graduate student at the time – Dr. Valence abruptly resigned. A persistent rumor swirled that he was discovered having an affair with a student and our erstwhile chancellor, Dr. Hand, forced him out. Shortly after he resigned, he committed suicide. Pistol to the temple. It was both tragic and completely out of character.”
“Do you think this had anything to do with Amy’s murder?”
“I certainly hope not,” an aghast Niccoldi replied.
“This research she was doing,” Tony said. “Where was she looking?”
Both Niccoldi and K.J. glared at him. It was as if they forgot he was in the room.
