Chapter 6 Business War 1. Silent Guard
In the office-
"Lloyd, I didn't expect you to be such a person! I misread you! As he spoke, Tang Sen angrily slammed the table with his right hand.
The mouse, keyboard, and water glass on the desk jumped in fright.
"And what kind of person do you think I am?" Lloyd looked at Townsend and asked calmly.
"No wonder Nicole hasn't been bothering you lately! I thought you regarded fame as floating clouds and money as dung! Instead, you chose to cut ties with Nicole and embark on the path her dad arranged for you! I really look down on you right now! After Tang Sen said angrily, he slammed the desk again.
The poor mouse, keyboard, and water glass jumped in fright again.
"Calm down, you'll have to pay for smashing things!" Lloyd joked.
"If you lose, you will pay! It's not that you can't afford to lose! When Townsend saw that Lloyd was still so relaxed, his heart was happy to turn his back on it.
"Listen to me! ......" Lloyd's expression suddenly changed from joking, and he was very serious.
Seeing this, Tang Sen could see that Lloyd was really serious, so he calmed down a little, put his hands on the table, and stretched out a hand to signal: "Say it." ”
"You basically know the process of what happened that day, right?" Lloyd asked.
"Yes, the police announcement is similar to what you told me." Townsend said.
"But there are still some things I haven't told you, because lately I've been afraid that the wall has ears." Lloyd whispered solemnly, and looked around. Lloyd stood up and gave Townsend a look for him to follow.
The two walked outside the office.
Behind an inconspicuous bush of grass -
"Why, Lloyd, are you talking about...... How do you catch crickets? Townsend said.
"It's more interesting than that!" Lloyd looked at Townsend and raised an eyebrow.
"Tell me about it!" Townsend was starting to get a little excited.
"Now that you know what happened last time, there are still a few details that I still have questions about, but I can't solve them for the time being!" Lloyd said wistfully.
"Oh?! And what else can stump you kid? Townsend smirked, and assumed a defeated pose.
"I'm serious, among the robbers that day, I saw through the redundant robber at a glance, and guessed that it must have been deliberately arranged by the president, but when the president counted the number of people in his heart, it is estimated that he himself also found one more person, so his expression was wrong. However, he has a large number of people, so he is relieved to let this play continue. And I'm weird! That killer robber target is not the president, but Nicole! If I hadn't made a move that day, I guess the president himself wouldn't have thought of it, and Nicole would have already had an accident! Lloyd said worriedly.
"However, does this have anything to do with your abandonment of love and your choice of glory and wealth!? Besides, the murderer and robber have also committed suicide! What else is there to be afraid of? It was also said on the news that it was a gambler's death. Townsend asked, pointing at Lloyd.
"It's that simple! Listen to me first! Lloyd pushed back the hand that Townsend was pointing at him.
"First of all, the first doubt, if the president arranged ten people, then why did it come in with eleven people and no one noticed? Doubt two, why did that person kill Nicole, pay attention, it was killing, not kidnapping. The third suspicion, and the most terrifying result, is that I think someone has started to set a trap on me. Lloyd looked into the distance.
"And what's the third point!?" Tang Sen asked anxiously.
"Everyone knows that the robber is the driver, but the real robber is not him! The real robbers are gone! In other words, the person who wanted to kill Nicole has already run away, and the driver is just a substitute for the dead! Lloyd said with a little excitement.
"Huh!? No way! The murderer didn't commit suicide, and you were there the whole time! How did the real robbers make the golden cicada out of its shell!? Townsend also began to get anxious.
"So there was more than one robber, maybe two, maybe more, even ...... It may be the code name "X" that has been provoking us, and we don't know what that "X" means. Lloyd said.
"So, how did you know that the driver was a ghost substitute!?" Townsend said.
"It's also a coincidence, I paid attention to his driving posture when I was in his car, he put his hand in the direction of eleven o'clock, that day, it happened that the robber had lime powder on his hands, and the car left at the scene that day, although the robber wore gloves and did not leave fingerprints, but left a lime mark, which is useless for the police, but for me, it is a shocking secret! Because the position of the lime powder handprint turned out to be in the direction of 7 o'clock, whether a driver is nervous or anxious, the position of holding the steering wheel is a habit and will not change. So before he got to the warehouse, the robber had been trying to kill Nicole, and after he pulled the president in, he knew that the police were coming, so when the police arrived, he shot the driver who had been there beforehand, and then ran away. faked the scene of the suicide, and everyone always had the impression that there was only one person in the robber's mind, so they didn't investigate it deeply. Lloyd analyzed.
"What you say is reasonable, so maybe it's just one person who committed the crime? There are not necessarily accomplices. Townsend asked.
"There was a trap from the beginning, and the opponent knew that I was observant, so he arranged for the driver to wear a watch, and during the robbery, the robber who wanted to kill Nicole had the watch in his hand, and finally, when I found the driver's body, I also saw that the body was wearing the watch back on the wrist before the body was carried into the ambulance. The opponent is thoughtful, pays attention to details, and specially sets up layers of fog bombs for me! But in the end, one was negligent, and the driver's watch was worn on his left hand, while the robber, although he deliberately put the watch on, was on his right hand, which also proved that it could not be the same person. Although I don't know what means the other party used to lure the driver to the warehouse, it is certain that the driver is just a substitute for the dead ghost. Lloyd said.
"Then why didn't you call the police, or just tell the police that day!?" Tang Sen said excitedly.
"What do you say, where is the evidence? The driver for the dead ghost can be said to have been stolen, the evidence is conclusive, no clues have been left, all we can have now is reasoning! Can you catch people directly through reasoning?! Lloyd asked rhetorically.
"Then you seem to be right!" Tang Sen smiled brightly and said approvingly.
"So, speaking of Nicole, according to my character, I would never choose to abandon Nicole in order to work under her father. The world is so big, can't I give her happiness in any other way? But this is not the most important thing now, the most important thing now is that the killers have been found, and it is certain that the killer is definitely not her father's, according to the fact that the opponent is basically perfectly hidden in this matter, this black hand must be in the company! Lloyd affirmed.
"And what are you going to do?" Townsend asked.
"I promised to be Nicole's bodyguard and protect her for the rest of my life! Everyone doesn't understand me, even Nicole doesn't understand me, it doesn't matter, I just want her to live safely and happily! Even if I am ridiculed by others and say that I am greedy for vanity, it doesn't matter! Before you find out the black hand, let them say it, many times, to do what you feel is right, and choice is just a bridge to the result. Only when she enters her father's company can she have a chance to find out this black hand, and this time the black hand operation is not successful, she may be silent for a while, and she will not make consecutive moves, but the next move should not be far away. Lloyd said very seriously, patting Townsend on the shoulder.
"Excuse me, brother! I misunderstood you! Then can I help you talk about the misunderstanding between you and Nicole?! Townsend smacked his chest hard.
"It's fine, but you have to promise me that you can't tell Nicole, and even if she knew, it would only end up worrying in vain, and if she really knew, she would go and fight with her dad to fight for those things about me, which would be bad for all three of us. And I didn't talk to her about her dad and me......" Lloyd sighed and looked up at the sky.
"Don't worry! I'll be sure to keep it a secret for you! If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know! Townsend also slapped Lloyd on the shoulder.
"Okay." After speaking, the two tacitly gave an American-style boxing.
Lloyd whispered to Townsend to help him investigate a man......
