Chapter 255: Poisonous Flower
Bobby touched his stubble and smiled. Tao Baihe watched silently from the side, although she couldn't understand the conversation between the two, but Bobby's meaningful expression made her feel very uncomfortable, she remembered her husband's advice, and endured it without having a seizure.
"My father-in-law died suddenly, and he didn't have time to make a will. Nan Zeyu pondered the words and said, "Exactly, I don't know if he made a will. ”
"It looks like the deceased was a bachelor?"
"Yes, my mother-in-law has been dead for many years and I haven't seen her. Nan Zeyu heard the other party's voice, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "My wife is an only child and has no brothers and sisters. ”
"Then when he dies, your wife will be the only heir to the estate. Bobby snapped his fingers.
Nan Zeyu held back the displeasure in his heart, "It seems like this, but we can't say that, because we still have a daughter." My father-in-law loved her very much, and if there was a will, he would definitely mention my daughter. ”
"How old is your daughter?" said Bobby nonchalantly.
"13 years old. Nan Zeyu said, subconsciously reaching for his mobile phone, and the moment he touched his trouser pocket, he remembered that he was in the New York Police Department. He sighed and asked, "Can I take my phone out? ”
"Absolutely. Bobby grinned. After Nan Zeyu unlocked the phone, he handed him the phone, and the wallpaper was Nan Zejiao.
"It was lovely. After admiring it, he didn't immediately return the phone to Nan Zeyu, but clicked on the phone app. He skimmed through it and said, "You've been in a lot of contact with this person lately." He put his phone on the table, pointed to a name and asked, "Who is this person?"
Nan Zeyu glanced at the Chinese name that Bobby was referring to, and smiled bitterly, "This is the person you just saw in the hospital, Ernest-August, who introduced us to the operation." He is British, and we usually call him Hou Ye. He saw the sarcasm in Bobby's eyes, so he added, "It looks like he was really banned, but it has nothing to do with the case, right?"
"You're good friends?"
Nan Zeyu hesitated, "Sort of." ”
"You must be good friends. Bobby thought, "You came to the United States, lived in his house, kept your passport at his house, and your family went to the hospital he introduced for surgery. All this shows that your relationship is not ordinary. ”
After listening to Bobby's words, Nan Zeyu turned his head to look at his wife, whose eyes were red and swollen like peaches, and a faint feeling of pity swelled in his heart. "We do move together a lot, but it's not as close as you say. ”
"So, what about this number?" Bobby clicked into the missed call, "This number has called you quite a few times lately, and looking at this exaggerated number, there are 11 times. I guess this can't be a sales pitch, right?"
When Nan Zeyu looked at the number, he immediately secretly complained - it was Yuichiro Tanaka's number. He usually pays attention to deleting the number of the unkind society in his recent calls, but he forgets to delete the missed calls.
"This is an Interpol that I used to work with, and it's an RB person. He racked his brains and made up lies, "You can go and look up, I only went to RB a few months ago." ”
Bobby stared into Nan Zeyu's eyes, who had to make a look of nothing.
"I believe in you. Bobby finally gave the phone back to Nan Zeyu. "So, I would like to ask, where and what are you and your wife doing this morning, and is there anyone who can help you prove it?"
Nan Zeyu thought for a moment, "I play racing games in August's mansion, and August himself can prove it for me." Moreover, there were five people with whom I participated in the game, and each of them attested to the fact that I was there all morning. ”
Bobby nodded.
"My wife and daughter have been doing their hair at the salon all morning, and I will write you the exact address later, you can go and look it up. ”
"When did you meet August?" asked Bobby suddenly.
"In mid-April last year. Nan Zeyu blurted out.
"Remember so clearly?" Bobby was a little surprised, "is this your professional habit?"
"Count...... Right. Nan Zeyu said stubbornly. He thought to himself, "How could he not remember? That was the first time Pennington had appeared." What's more, Wan Guohou is an unforgettable existence. ”
"So, did this August know your father-in-law through you?"
"Of course. Minami Zeyu became more and more calm. The interrogation room was a place he was very familiar with, and now it was just a different decoration. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "Do you think August has a problem?"
Bobby reached into his pocket, as if trying to get the cigarette case out, but he fumbled in his pocket for a long time before stopping. "Your father-in-law has a problem with his eyes?"
"Well, close to total blindness. ”
"Haven't you had surgery before?"
"Nope. Nan Zeyu shook his head, "He was more worried about the risk of surgery before, plus our conditions are okay, there are people to take care of at home, and there is no need to worry too much about ordinary life, so he has not had surgery." ”
Bobby got up and paced around the table, "Then why did you send him to the United States for surgery? Didn't you say that he didn't bother to live a normal life?"
Nan Zeyu glanced at Tao Baihe, and said a little helplessly: "We are mainly here for vacation, and we will have surgery by the way." Actually, I wasn't in favor of him having surgery, but August said that Dr. Harris was very good at his skills and could check before making a decision, so we accepted the suggestion. Later, after the examination, Dr. Harris said that the problem was not serious and that he was sure that my father-in-law would be able to see again. In fact, according to what the escort told my wife, the operation itself was a success. ”
"The surgery was done the day before yesterday, on February 11. Bobby pulled out his notepad and marked the time on it. "Have you met him after the surgery?"
"My wife and I went to see him during the day on February 12. Nan Zeyu said.
"But didn't your father-in-law have surgery on February 11?" Bobby asked.
"I wasn't in New York during the day on February 11 and came back late in the evening, so we went to see him during the day the next day. He was still wearing gauze over his eyes, but he seemed to be in good shape. ”
Bobby stopped writing, "Why weren't you in New York when your father-in-law had surgery?"
Nan Zeyu wanted to say, "This has nothing to do with the case", but he saw that Bobby had a stubborn spirit that would never give up until he reached his goal, so he resisted the urge to refute. "I went hunting. He rubbed his brow with his left hand and said, "With a few friends." ”
Bobby said with a slight sarcasm: "Your father-in-law is having surgery, and you are in the mood." ”
"It's not a big operation. Nan Zeyu said as usual, "Moreover, I also came back that day." ”
"So, all day on February 11, your wife was in the hospital?"
Nan Zeyu leaned back in the chair, "She also has something, we both went to see my father-in-law on February 12." ”
"You guys are a strange family. Bobby concluded, "I saw your wife crying like that just now, and I thought you were in a good relationship." ”
"We have a good relationship, and this time something else just happened. Nan Zeyu said in a calmest tone as much as possible, "I think you might as well focus on the people who are in and out of the hospital today, our family has an alibi, and the three of us have neither the motive nor the conditions to commit the crime." Finally, I must say that my father-in-law's entire fortune was an amber shop, and that it was not worth enough to be desperate, let alone that we would be foolish enough to choose to do it in the United States. He breathed a sigh of relief and added, "Our family has no foreign debts and no financial pressure, so why should we suddenly murder our own relatives?"
Bobby pressed the cap of his pen to his chin with an innocent expression, "How do I know what you think." With that, he raised an eyebrow, "Why don't I ask your daughter?" There was a hint of obvious shrewdness and cunning in his eyes.
"She was still a child. Nan Zeyu's face sank, "She doesn't know that her grandfather died now." ”
Bobby shrugged, "Tell me about that gentlemanly friend of yours." ”
"What do you want to know?" Nan Zeyu smelled something unusual, "Do you really doubt him?"
"When did he recommend this hospital to you?" Bobby didn't answer Nan Zeyu's question, but continued to ask questions on his own terms.
"I'm going to ask my wife. Nan Zeyu said, "I don't remember." ”
He talked to Tao Baihe for a few words, and then said to Bobby in English: "It should be that in October last year, he talked to my father-in-law about this hospital, and said that the founder of the hospital is his friend, and the technology is very good. Later, in December, he told my wife that it was advisable to go for a check-up first, because the doctor was going to be on leave in January this year. Later, the result of their discussions was to come to the United States in February. ”
Bobby quickly recorded in his notebook, and Nan Zeyu couldn't help but ask, "Don't you record the interrogation?"
Bobby snorted arrogantly while glancing at the corner of the ceiling, and Nan Zeyu saw that there was a mini camera there. He sighed in his heart, "Even though there is a video, but you still have to insist on the record, is this dedication or old-fashioned?"
"How did you meet this person?"
When Nan Zeyu heard this, he was stunned, and after a few seconds, he spoke: "I know the reason for work." ”
"He's from the police system too," Bobby's eyes widened, "doesn't look like it." ”
"It's not. Nan Zeyu said lightly, "It's that he knows a lot of people, all kinds of fields, and he seems to like to make friends." ”
Bobby pondered, "Does your father-in-law speak English?"
"No, it won't. ”
"Does that mean your rich friend can speak Chinese?" Bobby was a little surprised.
"Yes, and well said. He's basically a 'China expert'. Nan Zeyu said with a little teasing, "But this has nothing to do with the case, do you?
"We just don't miss any possibility. As soon as Bobby finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Bobby walked to the door and opened it. Outside the door stood young Jim, who glanced at Mr. and Mrs. Minami Zeyu before whispering in Bobby's ear.
Bobby nodded as he listened.
"I'll leave for a moment. Bobby looked at Nan Zeyu, "Please wait here." ”
After Bobby closed the door, Tao Baihe couldn't help but ask, "What did you tell him? Did he find anything? Who do you suspect now?"
"He doubts us, and he also suspects Hou Ye. Nan Zeyu said tiredly, "And it's a suspicion without any evidence." ”
Tao Baihe was furious, "Why does he suspect us? Are we sick and want to do this?"
"Don't be angry, that's what the police do. Nan Zeyu said sullenly, "Doubting everything and tracking it to the end is a basic requirement for the profession." In this sense, he did nothing wrong. ”
"You still speak for this foreigner?" Tao Baihe's eyes immediately turned red, "Dad ......" She choked up and couldn't go on.
"Dad has already sent it over, and the forensic doctor wants to check it. Nan Zeyu sighed, "They will tell us the result." ”
"Do you dissect without our consent?" Tao Baihe was shocked and angry, "Second Uncle asked us at that time!"
"If the police suspect that this is a criminal case, then it is true that it can be done without our consent. Nan Zeyu explained, "And don't you want to find out the cause of Dad's death? ”
The word "death" strongly stimulated Tao Baihe, and she grabbed the handle of the coffee cup, her slender fingers a little white from the force. "I really hate Lord Hou now. If it weren't for him, my dad wouldn't have left. ”
"You also suspect Master Hou?" Nan Zeyu couldn't help laughing, "Master Hou has been racing with me all morning, how did he fly to the hospital?"
"He can arrange for someone to go to the hospital without having to do it himself. Tao Baihe has a heartbeat.
"But the police have taken fingerprints, and you have seen them. "Obviously, there are no suspicious traces in the room." He unconsciously closed his fingers and released them. You can tell from their expressions. They are very lazy and not at all active, indicating that they have not found any valuable clues. ”
"But you said they suspected it was a criminal case. Tao Baihe said suspiciously.
"That's because we insist on investigating! Besides, we're foreigners, and I'm a police officer, so they'll check even if they're pretending. Nan Zeyu thought that he might have to write a report to explain the matter after he went back, and he felt irritated for a while, "You are not a civil servant, and you don't understand many things." ”
Tao Baihe sneered, "I know that if you are not a civil servant, Wan Guohou is the most suspicious person." Don't forget, it was he who tried his best to persuade my dad to come to this surgery, it was the doctor he introduced, and it was the time he arranged. ”
There was a grim look of resentment in her unmasked eyes, like poisonous flowers blooming in the middle of the night.
"The most important thing is that the accident between the second uncle and my dad was after he appeared. ”
