Sergeant Henry took a deep breath of his cigar, stared at Claude, and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Claude, how do you explain the disappearance of your wife Alice?"

Claude smiled slightly, as if he didn't care at all: "I won't explain her disappearance." Alice simply packed her suitcase the night before she disappeared and said goodbye. Mr. Sheriff, didn't you notice that some of Alice's clothes were missing?"

As he spoke, Claude took out his phone and showed Sheriff Henry a photo of Alice's closet where she used to pack her clothes.

"It doesn't prove anything, how do I know if you lost those clothes?" Sergeant Henry glanced at the photograph provided to him by Claude, frowned and asked, "Don't you think you are different?" Mr. Claude, you have had three wives, and all three have disappeared and were declared dead by the authorities......

Claude's face was full of helplessness, and he seemed to be a little sad and said: "Alas—I am such a poor man, my life is full of misfortunes, how can you policemen treat a person who has an unfortunate life like this?"

Claude's words, whether Sheriff Henry believed it or not, seemed to believe it himself......

Sergeant Henry sneered, squinted his eyes and asked, "You insured your wife Alice with a personal accident of five million dollars, right? If I'm not mistaken, you're the beneficiary, right?"

"Mr. Sheriff, you can go to the insurance company to find out about this kind of thing, I don't think I need to answer. Alas, what a wretched man I am, God has been so unfair to me, but fortunately I have developed the habit of buying insurance for my wife - Mr. Sheriff, I was also forced, and my married life was so unfortunate......"

Claude's mouth seemed to be miserable, but his face was expressionless, and there was not a trace of sadness—he knew very well in his heart that if Sheriff Henry in front of him believed him, he would be called a ghost......

But what if you don't believe?

What can you do if you believe it or not?

Sheriff Henry stared at Claude angrily, if he wasn't wearing a police skin, he really wanted to tear this scum in front of him in half!

That's right, people like Claude are a scumbag to the letter, and they are the most rubbish kind of scum!

He has been investigated by the police countless times, and the court has gone to court twice, and finally released him on the spot due to lack of evidence.

Claude has no formal job, has been idle all these years, and if he had to say anything, he has only done two things - buying insurance for his current wife, who then mysteriously disappeared and finally received the insurance money.

Even though the middle was investigated by countless police, there was no evidence in the end.

After receiving the insurance money, Claude would stop for two or three years.

Because of his money, he can meet all kinds of women - as long as he hides those things in the past, it is not difficult for a rich man to marry an ordinary woman.

In these years, as long as you have money, as long as you have fixed assets, who cares what you used to do and what experience you have?

Alice, a cashier at a nearby supermarket, met Claude two years ago.

She is also an unfortunate woman, who had a failed marriage before, and after divorce and celibacy, she never dreamed that Claude, who appeared in her supermarket as a "big money", launched a fierce pursuit of her.

For a woman Alice's age, marriage is all about finding a backer, that's all.

In any way, the rich Claude is a good "backer".

The two did not have been in love for many years, and after only three months of acquaintance, they registered their marriage.

A little wave swelled up in Claude's heart - although Alice looked ordinary, she had to say that she was really a virtuous and good wife.

Alice is an ordinary, quiet, submissive woman - she doesn't know how to put on makeup and dress herself like the women in society, she has a regular schedule of 9 to 5, and her work place and home are two o'clock and one line.

Alice was so happy with her new home that she returned home and occasionally read the newspaper, watched TV, and chatted with Claude after finishing her chores.

In recent months, Alice's relationship with Claude has become strained.

Claude's fooling around with other women outside made Alice known. Even so, Alice only chose to have a cold war with Claude.

Alice firmly believes that if Claude chooses to divorce her, it doesn't matter, anyway, the property is half for one person.

In the past, Claude beat her and scolded her, but she endured it until she learned that Claude was having an affair, and then she began to quarrel with Claude......

"How are you getting along with your wife?" Sergeant Henry interrupted Claude's recollection.

Claude retracted his thoughts, glanced at Sheriff Henry, and said casually: "We get along well, and it's normal for people to have a little quarrel occasionally, isn't everyone like this? ”

Sergeant Henry, however, didn't believe Claude at all, and continued: "According to your neighbors, you and your wife have been arguing almost incessantly for the last few months. ”

The "neighbors" in Sheriff Henry's mouth naturally refer to the Iversons. Because Claude's house is located on the corner of the street, the Iversons are the only house adjacent to Claude's house.

Claude's heart sank, and a thought flashed through his mind—could Alice's last scream be heard beyond the garden and fence to Iverson's house?

Could it be that Iverson heard something?

Claude was a little weak-hearted, and his brow twitched slightly.

Seeing Claude's strange expression, Sergeant Henry immediately said, "In the past month, the Iversons have been able to hear you and your wife arguing almost every night. ”

Claude quickly calmed his mind and argued, "They can't hear us until they stop their hellish screams." And they said they heard me and Alice arguing, which wasn't true. I've never raised my voice. ”

In fact, the Iversons also quarreled a lot, and they were famous for their quarrels, which was not news on this street, and everyone had long been surprised.

Sheriff Henry continued, "The last time your wife was seen on video surveillance cameras was at half past six last Wednesday night. A nearby street cleaner saw Alice walk through the door of her house......"

Claude did not deny this, he recalled it seriously and said with a smile: "Yes. Alice was returning from the supermarket with a frozen dinner and ice cream. These are almost the only contributions she has made to the culinary arts. ”

Sheriff Henry glanced at Iverson meaningfully and said coldly: "The power outage in the community in the middle of the night was about two hours, and after investigation, someone broke the transformer. You say Alice left the house during the power outage?"

"Don't set me up! I didn't say that! Alice left at night, I don't know what time it was!" Claude was keenly aware of what Sheriff Henry was saying, and was determined not to fall into his trap.

That's right!

It was Claude himself who broke the transformer.

There's only one purpose, and that's to get those two damn cameras at the street entrance to close their eyes!

It's a pity -

Claude sighed in his heart, he still made a mistake!

Unexpectedly, the two cameras have independent power supply lines, which are not affected by the power outage at all.

What a mistake, what a mistake!

Of course, this was only known after the fact - when the police showed Claude the surveillance video and questioned him sharply, Claude almost collapsed, but he finally managed to calm down.

Resolutely do not admit it!

I don't know anything!

That's it...... What the hell, I can't find the body anyway, it's just that the evidence is insufficient!
