Mints, that's a very crucial clue, at least that's what Holden thinks.

While reviewing the evidence in the case, Holden found mint wrappers in Fenglan Lane, Alber's home, and the Southern Orson Company, but Alber's office did not find them.

Trento didn't care too much about the mints, the security team collected a lot of evidence, the mints are not like part of the evidence at the scene, more like the garbage that the security team inadvertently collected when they sorted out the scene, but it was not easy to throw it away, so he kept it.

The point of Horden's concern is that he doesn't like mints, to be precise, he doesn't mind the mints on the earth, but he doesn't like the mints of the Leia Empire -

Because the refining process here is not perfect, the taste of mints is too stimulating and too strong, and it has been separated from the ranks of candies, and it is indeed a "medicine".

In fact, the same is true of the aristocracy of Iwabuchi, neither Peters nor Brutus have a habit of using mints, and only the ladies are keen on it, hoping to make a perfect impression in public, even if it is a little pain themselves.

So, Albert likes mints?

Of course, it's possible, perhaps it's his personal habit, but it's a little strange that the candy wrappers with mints weren't found in Alber's office—or maybe the investigators didn't take it as evidence, and even if they found it in the office, they didn't collect it.

After all, the experience of handling cases so far proves how rudimentary the methods of the security forces are in searching for evidence, and such omissions do not say anything.

However, when he saw Alber face to face, Hoden's sense of smell was fully activated, but he did not detect any mint breath at all.

If Albert's long-term use of mints has left traces on Maple Lane, at work, and at home, there's no reason why he shouldn't use them today, and there's another explanation that makes sense, and it's the professional killer who left mint candy wrappers in three places.

That's why Alber's office doesn't have candy wrappers.

However, on the surface, Hodden was still unmoved, chuckling, "Personally, mint leaves have a different flavor when used to make tea. ”

"Ahem. Issa coughed lightly, as if to remind Hodden not to mention the food again.

Holden's smile became brighter and brighter, "Today, Mr. Alber was specially invited to assist in the investigation, not because of the murder of Mrs. Alber, but because of a 'equivalent exchange' case, we are still a little confused, and we need Mr. Alber's answers." ”

Alber's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was a little weak.

Trento dug through the land inspection report and shoved it in front of Alber, "This report is your signature on it, did you use this report in exchange for an eyewitness to get you away from the accusations?" ”

Straight shots.

For others, it may not work, but for Alber, it is sufficient.

Alber lowered his gaze and did not speak, his panic confirmed by the slightly tense jawline.

It was still Holden who spoke again, and his lazy voice seemed to carry a sense of magic, exuding a powerful confidence from the inside out.

"Mr. Alber, you know there's a problem with that land, and you want to be able to stick to your heart and refuse to sign the test report, and then the homicide comes along and you get stuck, and then the company tells you that if you sign the test report, you can get an eyewitness in exchange and clear your name. ”

Or ......"

Alber didn't let Hodden continue, closed his eyes, and let out a long exhale, "I know, I knew that retribution would come sooner or later. In the first place, I shouldn't have said yes. We are a scam company, we are hurting nature, and we should all be punished. ”

Trento was a little frightened.

Then, Alber opened his eyes and looked at Hoden, just like that, looking at Hoden quietly, "Deep down in my heart, I know that I didn't kill my wife, and even now, I firmly believe it, but I can't prove my innocence. ”

"At that time, I was in despair. Ames was so young, he was only ten years old, he had no mother, what would have happened to him if even I had left? I don't know, he might have been sent to an orphanage and then disappeared into the endless winter of Iwabuchi. ”

"I'm dizzy. ”

"I was so carried away by my fear that I called the company and I asked for help. They told me that as long as I was willing to sign the test report, they would be willing to find an eyewitness to prove my innocence. I ......"

Speaking of this, Alber once again showed a pained expression, "I was persuaded by them, no, I was persuaded by my own fear and timidity, so I agreed. But, I swear, sincerely, I swear, I really didn't kill my wife. Jennifer and I do have conflicts, we don't love each other anymore, we're torturing each other, but I'm definitely not going to kill Ames' mother. ”

Alber looked at Hoden, his voice trembling slightly, expressing his sincerity with his eyes, longing for Hoden's trust.

"Mr. Odin Alber, I believe in you. ”

Hoden spoke.

Alber was stunned directly, his eyes were full of astonishment and surprise as he stared at Hoden, and tears overflowed unexpectedly, unable to make a sound at all.

"Mr. Alber, the timeline of the whole thing doesn't match, and the evidence and testimony don't match, we've seen through the alibi lie, and at the same time, we've found a wonderful clue, which is the mints you don't like. ”

"This candy wrapper of mints appeared in Fenglan Lane, in your home, in your company, but not in your office, nor on your body. We guess that this should be the personal habit of a professional killer, or the personal preference of the person behind the company, not yours. ”

Alber was already stunned, looking at Howlen with red eyes, unable to believe his ears.

"So, here's the thing, it's your company that gets you drunk in Fenglan Lane, makes sure you're unconscious, and then goes to your home and kills your wife, and arranges just the right eyewitness to clear your suspicions, and just like that, step by step, it leads you into the trap. ”

"Their only purpose is this land inspection report. ”

"The left hand frames you, the right hand saves you, and the person behind it is always the same. ”

Alber sat there in despair, a line of hot tears sliding down his reddened eyes, "Jennifer, oh, my Tamzi male god, Jennifer, how can they! How can they do this to Jennifer, she's innocent!

This was the first thought in Albor's mind, and the innocent wife died without explanation.
