Chapter 74 Result of the Inquiry
At seven o'clock in the evening, just after dinner, Ralph was informed that the chairman was looking for him.
Ten minutes later, with a slight suspicion, Ralph knocked on 201's door.
"Please come in!"
Orville's voice could be heard from inside the house.
Ralph pushed the door open and saw the figure sitting behind the desk, and greeted, "Mr. President, you are looking for me." ”
Orville saw that it was Ralph, stood up, stepped out from behind his desk, came to him, and invited him to take a seat at another empty table for conversation, and said, "Thank you very much for coming, to talk about something, about the day, your ...... Well...... Inappropriate ......"
When Ralph heard this, he stood up as if his butt was on fire, looked at Orville and asked, "Why, Mr. President, think that what I said is wrong? If I have wronged him, why didn't he come to me himself, but you did?"
"Mr. President, you shouldn't be blackmailed by him, right?"
"Please don't get excited, sit down and say......" Orville pushed Ralph back into his seat and said, "I'm not being threatened, I'm just acting as the chairman of BlackerHouse, and I just want to get you to know the situation!"
"But, Ralph, I wonder why you think I'm being blackmailed?"
"A first-grader, do you have the ability to blackmail me?"
"How can't it be, he's ......" At this point, Ralph suddenly froze.
"What is he?" ......Orville asked, "Is there anything special about Evan?"
Ralph seemed to suddenly realize something, and opened his mouth, but did not continue, but changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Orville, if you want to know, please ask, I still have homework to complete, and I don't have much time to waste here!"
Seeing that Ralph didn't want to say anything, Orville didn't dwell on it anymore, but followed Ralph's words and said, "In that case, I want to know, about Evan Warren...... How did you find out about the special case?"
"Did you come to the conclusion of your own observations? or did someone tell you?"
"Ralph, remind you, please think carefully before answering......"
In the face of Orville's kind reminder, Ralph did not seem to appreciate it, and he replied unhappily: "Is it important how I know? No matter how I know, the facts cannot be changed, let alone hidden!"
"Of course it's important!"
It wasn't Orville who said this.
Ralph frowned as he looked at the third person who suddenly appeared in the room. He looked at Orville with displeasure: "What's the situation with him?"
Before Orville could explain, a man in a formal suit pulled a business card out of his pocket, sat down across from Ralph, and handed it over.
"The contemptible is Carl Patton, the lawyer representing Mr. Evan Warren, and I would like to ask you about the fact that my client has been falsely accused of being a 'comrade'. ”
"The question of 'Is it the result of your own observations?' or has someone told you that?' is an important question, and based on the results of your answers, it will be decided whether or not I should put you in the dock. ”
So, please be careful with your answers. ”
"Of course, if you can, it's better to tell the truth!"
Although Carl has a small white face and has no intimidating appearance, when he sits in front of Ralph and takes on the posture of a lawyer, Ralph can't help but pay attention to every word he says.
Ralph took the business card, and after careful confirmation, the whole person fell silent.
After a while, he looked at Carl and asked, "Is Evan really going to sue?" Isn't he afraid that this matter will be known by the media, and it will cause a stir and then affect his father?"
When Carl heard this, he curled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Ralph, it seems that you know a lot?"
"You don't have to worry about that, though. ”
"Like you said, facts are facts, they can't be changed, and they can't be hidden, can they?"
"Now, answer my question......"
Ralph lowered his head, and there was another long silence.
Before Karl could lose his patience, Ralph finally spoke, "I thought about it and realized that I couldn't give you an exact answer. ”
Karl and Orville looked at each other, confused by Ralph's answer.
Karl asked, "What do you mean, please explain clearly." ”
"I thought it was my own observations and I was able to resonate with some people, so I was sure I was right," Ralph said. ”
"After careful recollection, I realized that what I thought of as self-directed observation was actually made under the guidance of others. ”
Karl said, "Can you elaborate?"
Ralph nodded, "At first, it was actually a conversation between William and Evan before the start of the first class on the 24th, and then during the recess, one of the people sitting next to me inadvertently talked about it, and since then I have paid more attention to their every move." ”
"Later, the interaction between the two of them, and the fact that more than one of them mentioned them when I talked to others, made me so convinced that I was right......"
Karl asked, "Do you still remember the man sitting next to you?"
Ralph shook his head, "I don't know the man, but he's probably not a freshman, and I've never seen him since." ”
"yes, right...... The man was relatively thin, and that was the only trait I remembered. ”
"That's right......" Karl touched his chin, slightly disappointed, and after a while, he asked again, "Who have you talked to, can you tell me?"
"George...... Richard...... Sauerman......"
Ralph gave a long list of names.
After that, Ralph was asked out of the room.
At the same time, Orville had Ralph say that one by one of these people invited to 201.
"George, can you talk about how you know Evan is...... Is it special?"
"Richard ......"
"Saulman ......"
“……”
The same pattern of dialogue played out in 201, and when the last person was asked to leave, Carl was given a text profile of one of the people.
"Very tall, at least 1.9 meters, thin body, only the back has not been seen in the front. ”
"The clothes I wore had the following features: the Rams logo (football team), the Dodgers logo (baseball team), antlers, ......"
Orville looked at the combined descriptions and asked, "Can you find someone with these?"
"Of course you can!" Evan, who didn't know when he appeared in 201, held the piece of paper in his hand and said with a frosty face: "Actually, I already know who it is!"
Last time, it was for the sake of Mr. Speaker's face, so I didn't pursue it further, and only said a word in front of Earl and Nina.
After all, I've already punched once, and I've been out of breath.
Unexpectedly, I won't look for you, you're coming to the door!
It's - it was an eye-opener for me!
I didn't expect that there would really be such a ...... who would personally go into battle to "cut people" without saying a word The second generation!
