*************
On this day, Jin Muchen was thinking about how to go to Japan and Italy to explore the bottom, when suddenly the door of the antique store was pushed open from the outside.
Since the first two incidents, the business of their antique store can really be described as a door.
The flow of customers has become more and more scarce, Jin Muchen is not in a hurry, he has been with Uncle Fang for a long time, and after being instilled by Uncle Fang with the concept of running a lot of antique shops, he has become accustomed to such a situation.
The antique business, that's it, sometimes maybe three or five months may not be able to close a single business, but maybe a sudden business can make you a lot of money.
What's more, when he opened this antique shop, he didn't actually expect this antique shop to make a lot of money, mainly because he used it as a means to hide and keep it.
It's best to make money, if the business is not good, then it's okay not to lose money, it's really not good, he can accept it if he loses a little less.
So for this period of time, the problem of sparse passenger flow, he has also become accustomed to it, today suddenly a guest pushed the door in, Jin Muchen, who had not made a deal for a few days, was still very happy, and hurriedly got up and greeted him with a smile.
But when he saw the appearance of the person who came, he couldn't laugh anymore.
The person who came, wearing a beige trench coat, with a slender figure, long chestnut hair draped over his shoulders, and a very cold face, was none other than Kate, a police detective from the 12th Precinct who had dealt with several times before. Barnes, Jesse's sister.
It stands to reason that I've been in contact with it a few times before, and I know Rick myself. Barnes. And she is still good friends with her sister Jesse. Kate shouldn't be so cold to Jin Muchen.
At the very least, it should be a smile and a few words of greeting. But at this time, Jin Muchen didn't see half a smile on her face, this woman was cold as soon as she entered the door, with a smell of being close to people and doing business.
And this time she didn't come alone, behind her, there was also a follower in a suit.
Although Jin Muchen was not used to her coldness, he still greeted her with a smile, and at the same time noticed a look that Kate gave him flying over. Then she looked at the man behind her.
Kate's attendant, dressed in a formal suit, with hair waxed, meticulously combed, tall and athletic, a typical white handsome guy, about thirty years old, like Kate, with a strict face and a non-smiling appearance.
"Hey! Officer Kate. Long time no see, come to me today. What's the matter? Who is this? ”
"Hello, Mr. Kim, yes, I haven't seen you in a while. This is my new colleague, Brian. ”
Kate greeted Jin Muchen very formulaically, and then briefly introduced the guy behind her to Jin Muchen, but from the way she kept giving Jin Muchen, Jin Muchen knew that this Brian was definitely not as simple as Kate said, that is, a new colleague of hers.
"What do you want to drink?"
Jin Muchen smiled and welcomed the two into the lounge behind the counter, he knew that Kate and this Brian definitely didn't come to patronize their business.
"Coffee."
Kate said simply, and after speaking, she glanced back at the Brian, who also nodded noncommittally.
Jin Muchen brought two cups of coffee to the two, and the three of them found a place for Zi to sit down.
"Alright, officers, I wonder what you're looking for me this time? Is there a result of the theft in my store last time? ”
As soon as a few people sat down, Jin Muchen went straight to the point.
When he asked, the look on Kate's face on the other side suddenly changed, but she quickly adjusted.
"Last time, we had a suspect in that case, but then we ran into some trouble."
While Kate was talking to Jin Muchen, she had been paying attention to the changes in his face, and Jin Muchen was stunned when she heard her say this.
"What's the trouble? Is there anything I can do to help? ”
Kate could only sigh when she saw him like this, and then Brian, who was behind her, leaned forward, and then took out a brown paper bag from the leather bag she was carrying, opened it and pulled out a few photos, and pushed it in front of Jin Muchen.
"Well, we already have two suspects, but just before our police could gather evidence and prepare to take action against them, these two people suddenly died in their home...... You must know these two people......"
This time Kate didn't speak, but the Brian opened his mouth, and while speaking, he also pushed a few photos of Clark and Janice being killed in front of Jin Muchencai, and at the same time, his eyes kept staring at Jin Muchen's face, as if he wanted to see a clue from his face.
And Jin Muchen's expression was a series of continuous changes after seeing these photos, disgusting, shocked, and frightened, and after only a few glances, he pushed those photos aside, closed his eyes, and trembled.
His various appearances are similar to those witnesses that Brian met before, when he first saw the photos of the victims, which is normal, but Brian is not in a hurry to draw conclusions and rule out the suspicion of the guy in front of him.
"What? Don't you know these two people? Mr. Kim! ”
"No, I know them...... Forehead...... I shouldn't say that I knew each other, I can only say that they bought things in my store before the crime, and I remember the couple, who seemed to be called Edward and ...... I'm sorry I forgot this woman's name......"
So far, Jin Muchen has only been normal, that Brian didn't see any clues, and even Kate, who had been highly suspicious of him before, was now a little unsure whether those two people were his hands.
"Well, so many days have passed, and there are a lot of people coming and going in your store every day, how can you remember this man's name?"
At this time, Brian had unknowingly become the protagonist of this conversation, and it seemed that he was too anxious.
Although his question was very sharp, Jin Muchen had no intention of fighting him: "Because they are very generous, I have an impression of them......"
Jin Muchen roughly told Brian about the situation when Clark and Janice came to his store to step on the plate that day.
"By the way, where were you a few days ago, on October XX?"
Brian listened to Jin Muchen's narration, and suddenly threw out another question, Jin Muchen was stunned for a moment, and then understood that he was really coming for himself.
Because the day he asked happened to be the time when he did it to the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, it seems that although he and Jesse have been very careful, they have still attracted the attention of the other party, but they don't know where they have reached in their investigation of themselves.
"Those days? I'm in Boston, and you know that I'm in the antiques business, and I've always been interested in antiques, and I heard that the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is very beautiful, so I wanted to see it for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't have time. At that time, the business in the store was not very good, so I went there with my friends. But I didn't expect that just a few days after I got there, I ran into a bombing, and then I came back from Boston with my friend......"
Jin Muchen said very calmly, regarding the scope of activities during that time, he and Jesse had already made a good confession, even if the police came to the door, they were not afraid.
"And what about at XXX on October XX? Where are you? ”
Brian asked again, at this time Jin Muchen knew that he shouldn't cooperate like this, because if he cooperated obediently, it would seem that he was too easy to bully.
At this time, his face changed suddenly, and he began to grow cold from his original smile.
"Officer Brian, what do you mean by that? Am I a suspect? As for the theft of my antique shop, you have not been able to give me an answer so far. But now you're coming to my house and asking so many strange questions, what do you mean? ”
Jin Muchen's change of attitude caught Brian a little off guard, he didn't expect this guy to change his face when he said that he would change his face, he had also been in contact with a lot of Chinese in the past, those guys were very timid, and they were most afraid of getting involved with the police or something, and many people would answer obediently.
But this guy in front of him is obviously different from those people, this guy is a thorn.
But his attitude did not ease because of Jin Muchen's change in attitude: "Mr. Jin, we just want to clarify some issues with you, and then rule out your suspicions." ”
"What suspicion? Am I paying so many taxes to feed you guys who are casually suspicious of others? You don't go to arrest this righteous criminal, but come to me to ask questions, this is how you handle cases? Okay, you don't need to say it, I don't want to answer any of your questions, please get out of my shop right away, and next time if you're looking for me, please go to the judge and apply for a search warrant! ”
Jin Muchen got up suddenly, stared at this Brian and said loudly, Kate sat on the side and didn't speak, and she didn't mean to stand up for Brian, but she couldn't hide a look of excitement in the corner of her eyes.
Brian slowly stood up, still staring at Jin Muchen coldly: "Okay, next time I come back, I will bring a search warrant ......"
The threat in these words was full of threat, Jin Muchen's eyes widened angrily, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the door.
"Next time, get out of my shop now!"
He was very loud and his attitude was quite unpolite, and then Brian tugged at his clothes and walked to the door, while Kate was following him this time, and when she passed by Jin Muchen, she glanced at Jin Muchen and didn't make a sound, but made an FBI lip shape. (To be continued......)
