Chapter 85: Foggy

"Such a coincidence, the couple's fathers have all worked in this company?" Qin Lin was puzzled.

The dean took a sip of black tea: "By the way, that Cook used to be a renovation worker at the Conder Company, and he only set up his own door after Taylor and he left the orphanage..."

Qin Lin nodded, it turned out that the three of them were colleagues....

Then, the chubby dean said indignantly: "But I heard that this Conder Company is not a good bird!

"More than ten years ago, the real estate in the United States was very hot, and with the help of underground forces, this Cond also entered the real estate market and bought a lot of land!

The chubby dean's angry appearance was very cute, and his beard was upturned, which reminded Qin Lin of the general on Alcatraz Island.

When leaving, Qin Lin also left a check for $300,000, but who knows, the dean resolutely refused.

"Sir, I know that you two are rich people by looking at your clothes!, but I don't want the children to accept such gifts, and there is no shortage of books and food and drink in the orphanage now...."The dean said with a smile: "The world will become more and more cruel and dark, I hope they will have more necessary setbacks on the way to growth, or they will not be able to bear the disappointment when they enter the society..."

Qin Lin felt that this old man had a different wisdom from ordinary people, and he admired it. So he left his business card and told the other party that the orphanage could come to him if he had any difficulties!

After coming out, Qin Lin called Wells: "How are you doing over there?"

Wells replied, "I'm collecting! I've also found out the address of the neighborhood where Cook lived more than ten years ago, and I guess I'll be able to get some of the questions from my neighbors! I'll go over and find out later....."

"That's it, I'll go, there doesn't seem to be much about Taylor, let's improve our efficiency, and we'll see you at the police station before evening!" Qin Lin was a little idle.

According to the address sent by Wells, he and Qiyu quickly arrived in the neighborhood where Cook used to live.

There are many high-rise buildings here, and the two of them asked for a long time to find the address of Cook's former apartment, but this place has become a magnificent bank.

"I'm in trouble now, where can I find the neighbor?" Qiyu crossed his waist.

Now they can only try their luck, Qin Lin and Qiyu kept asking people passing by, hoping to find someone who knew Cook's past.

After more than half an hour, an old man passing by really knew that after confirming Qin Lin's documents, he stroked his eyes and said: "There is only one person named Cook on our street! I remember that kid, come, come to my store and say..."

The old man, who ran a watch shop, said nostalgically: "I haven't seen him for more than ten years, so let's say, what do you want to know? Is he missing?"

"Of course, the more the merrier..."Qin Lin immediately said.

The old man took a sip of tea and said slowly: "This child's character is a little timid, but he is quite responsible. But he left fifteen years ago, supposedly working for a toy company, but I don't remember the name of the company...."

"That's not right.... Didn't the director of the orphanage say that he worked at Conder?"

Qin Lin didn't think anything: "It's normal, maybe it's a job you are looking for during the transition period?"

However, the old man snorted coldly: "Hmph, Cond, you said that Cook will go to work at Cond, Hahaha! This is absolutely impossible!"

Both of them were stunned by this, and asked in unison, "Why?"

The old man stood up on crutches and began to recount the past: "This block was built by the Conder Company, and fifteen years ago it was very unhappy with the neighbors because of some problems with the land procedures! The contract was always not signed! So the company used underground forces to threaten and harass everyone's lives, and the police at that time may have been fed with black money and turned a blind eye!"

"The underground forces are becoming more and more rampant! Many people have been forced to sign contracts! But Cook's mother is a fierce woman, and she resolutely disagrees with the terms of the contract, so she has been resisting. But those black-hearted bastards won't stop, and one night, they actually pretended to be ghosts to scare Cook's mother, who was about to go home, who knew that she had a heart attack and died like this..."

"These bastards!" Qiyu said angrily.

"There was no one else in Cook's family, so he should have signed the contract in the end. The neighbors were also frightened by the bastards, so they didn't bother about it. One night, Cook moved away, and no one saw him again...."There was some remorse in the old man's tone.

"I don't know the rest, but you can call this number!" said the old man, pulling out a business card from the counter.

"This is my nephew's phone number, Cook this kid doesn't have any friends, so he has a good relationship with my nephew, you go and ask him...."After that, the old man said that he knew everything.

After getting the clue, the two drove away again.

The old man's nephew was a very decent white-collar worker, and when he learned that he was introduced by his uncle, he said that he would do his best to help.

Qin Lin took his mobile phone and called up the photo of the deceased Cook as usual, and asked the other party to identify it first.

The white-collar worker looked at the photo carefully, and after a few minutes, asked Qin Lin with a strange expression: "Sir, may I ask who this is?"

Qin Lin was a little confused: "Cook! Thomas Cook, you've known him since childhood!"

The white-collar worker smiled politely: "I know you police won't make such a boring joke." But I'm telling you responsibly, this man is not Cook!"

Qin Lin and Qiyu opened their mouths, and then said that there was absolutely no mistake.

"This person is a bit similar, but absolutely not! I have known him since childhood, and although I haven't seen him for fifteen years, I must recognize him! I can testify in court!" The white-collar worker's eyes were unquestionable.

After leaving the white-collar job, Qiyu was a little confused: "This.... Everyone who has seen the photo before is sure that this is Cook, but this white-collar worker says that he is not Cook?!"

Qin Lin lit his cigar and said with a smile: "Interesting...."

This rare sense of challenge aroused Qin Lin's adrenaline!

At this time, Wells called: "Mr. Qin, I have some information here, let's see you at the police station?"

At the police station, Wells and his officers began to report on the clues they had gathered.

"Cook is a very good person, he is conscientious and responsible, and his colleagues and clients who have worked with him like him! ”

"In terms of personality, he is a little unsophisticated, and he doesn't like to please companies that are good for him. So after working for so many years, I don't have any savings, and I can even say that I am poor. In fact, there are only two people in his company, him and Taylor, who live by contracting some small jobs. ”
