September 14, 2021, a little before 10 p.m. An accident has just occurred on departmental road 916, 35 kilometers north of Amiens (Somme). Léa Demagny, a 23-year-old caregiver, has just been hit by a caras she returned home on foot.
The shock was violent. The driver fled. Despite everything, such an accident, on a straight line and without the slightest trace of braking, is very strange. And for good reason, it would be an odious set-up. His relatives, questioned by Criminal investigations are convinced: someone wanted to get rid of Léa and didn't give her a chance.
The only witness to the accident: Léa's companion, Bernard Moulinier. The 30-year-old young man was by his side and miraculously escaped unscathed. When he is questioned just after the events, he does not mention that Léa had a sworn enemy: Laura, Bernard's ex, the mother of his child.
Mobile: jealousy?
However, it is common knowledge: in love with Bernard since high school,
Laura never digested the breakup, just one year after their marriage. And even less that Bernard rebuilds his life, with a guest present on the wedding day. And then there is this message that Laura publishes on her wedding day and which makes her the obvious culprit to explain Léa's death: “Every girl has a slut in her head that she dreams of smashing…”
Could the vengeful ex-wife have crushed Léa before disappearing into the night? Two days after the accident, Bernard Moulinier spontaneously presented himself to the gendarmerie to denounce his ex-wife. According to him, when he went to see her, he discovered that her car still bore the marks of the accident. When questioned, Laura confesses. The crime of a jealous woman: the matter seems settled.
Only there is one problem: how could Laura know where her rival was that evening? More disturbing, according to the neighbors, for several months, Laura and Bernard had secretly reconnected. Laura came to meet her ex-husband at home in secret, while Léa was at work… Could the couple have plotted the murder together? But if the ex-spouses had patched things up, why was Léa killed?
