Chapter 121: The Murder of a Year Ago
"Do you have an impression of this man?" said Wells, handing over a picture of Tom Paul in the lounge.
After taking a closer look, Traft nodded: "It's very similar, if I see a real person, I can tell it right away...."
"Good!You guys go out with me to search!You two go and apply for a wanted warrant!!," Wells instructed a few of his men. Naturally, he was very anxious, because most of the hostages were old men, and the driver Adrian was still injured.
But Qin Lin still had great doubts about the kidnapper's motives. It's like it was said at the beginning, it's so strange, why do you have to kidnap the people on the bus? Those old people are easy to control, but they probably don't have much money. What's more, the kidnappers are extorting from the bus company, and so far, they have not received any distress calls from any family members of these elderly people. The prisoner's behavior is quite careless.
"Is it possible that Tom Paul and the driver Adrian conspired, or did they have other purposes?" Qin Lin's mind suddenly popped up with this idea.
He immediately called the bus company and asked where Adrian had worked.
...............
Business in this car factory is very good, and in addition to receiving an enviable salary, the workers are provided with comfortable and spacious dormitories.
Under the leadership of the factory director, Qin Lin walked into the house where Adrian lived before, and there was no one living here.
"Hey, that guy is a good employee, but it's a pity that he has to resign, and I can't keep it...."The factory director was a little regretful.
Qin Lin came for this matter, and he felt that this Adrian was very abnormal.
"Adrian didn't live here alone at the time, he also had a girlfriend...."The factory director patiently explained: "The two of them lived a very good life in three years, and they got engaged soon. But about a year ago, the girl died, and I remember her name, Anne, and that girl was so beautiful..."
"Can you tell us about the circumstances at the time of death, and what was the conclusion of the police at that time?"
Hearing this, the factory director was a little surprised, wasn't the young man in front of him exactly from the police? Qin Lin hurriedly explained that he had not become a police adviser more than a year ago, so he did not know about this case.
"Oh.... At that time, Anne was hanged, and after a series of investigations, the police also proved that she committed suicide. The factory director recalled.
"Isn't their life very good? And they're both engaged, so why would she kill herself?"
It turned out that not long after the two got engaged, the two of them often quarreled in the house, which confused the neighbors. At first, I thought they were making a small fight, but then the conflict escalated, and my colleagues also tried to persuade them.
But Adrian refuses to let Anne betray him, and the woman finds a new love outside. One day, after the two get angry again over the incident, Adrian shows up and gets drunk. And Anne, who was unaccompanied that night, actually looked for a short time.
"It turns out that this is his unpleasant memory...."The reason for Adrian's resignation was found, and Qin Lin asked one more thing before leaving: "Excuse me, did Anne really betray Adrian?"
"To tell you the truth, I was very suspicious of Anne's loyalty, because during that time, there was always a stranger who drove her back. The doorman told me about it, and as for the stranger, though I had not seen it, I remembered the name, because it was so popular, and it was called Tom...."That was the last clue the director could give, but it was crucial!
If that stranger is really Tom Paul, then this kidnapping case is very intriguing!
As soon as he returned to the police station, Qin Lin went to George's office and asked for a file on the suicide of the family of an employee of the car factory more than a year ago.
Qin Lin looked at the photos of the scene in the dossier, and quickly concluded that Anne did not commit suicide! Because there are many flaws in the knotting method of hanging rope knots, this is obviously a fake suicide scene!
The police level in these countries is also too poor! Qin Lin glanced at George angrily, making the latter afraid for a while.
And there is another thing that is very eye-catching at the scene of Anne's death, that is, the bouquet of purple flowers placed on the table, and on the label of the gift of this bouquet of flowers is written a letter: T!
That's the initials of Tom Paul's name! I'm afraid that's why Adrian said Anne had betrayed him.
So who killed Annie? Qin Lin believes that there are two suspects, either Tom or Adrian! This is a love killing!
Interestingly, in this bus kidnapping case, these two love rivals actually appeared at the same time, is it a coincidence?!
George cautiously asked, "Mr. Qin, is this case related to a bus kidnapping?"
In fact, this is what Qin Lin wants to ask! These two things can't be connected no matter how you look at them, but he just has a strange intuition, thinking that things are not so simple.
However, there was not much time left for him to think, and only half an hour later, a police officer came to George's office to report: Tom Paul has been caught!
"I found him in a restaurant! This guy is very strong and fast, and it took us half a day to catch him!" the officer added.
It's the same as the feeling in the photo, this guy is really a villain, and he is dressed in colorful clothes, and he is scolding and swearing all the way to the police station, and his words are very slippery, so that the police can't catch the handle.
"Say, where were you last night from eight to ten o'clock!" Wells slapped the table, pointing to the time of the kidnapping.
Tom Paul plucked his ears and looked at the police officers with a playful look in his eyes: "It was my best time to play cards, of course I was in the club..."
The police officer took out the VIP card of the ** dance club: "Nonsense! Then why is your name on this card?"
Who knew that Tom Paul didn't eat fried at all, he looked at the card, and smiled cheaply: "Officer, don't come to this set.... There are so many people with the same name and surname as me, why do you say it's mine? I was playing cards at the time! That club is at 221 Garden Street, I don't believe you to look it up..."
Wells gave his men a look and told him to check it out right away.
At the same time, Qin Lin was watching this scene outside the window of the interrogation room with the witness Traft.
"Recognize it, is it him the kidnapper last night?"
Traff nodded: "Very much like it indeed...." and began to look closely.
A few minutes later, he finished his testimony and turned to look at Qin Lin and the group of police officers: "I'm very sure that this person is not a kidnapper!"
