After getting out of the car, Wei Li stood beside the car, staring at the white wooden two-story building five meters away, constantly inhaling deeply, and then exhaling deeply, repeatedly, he was nervous.

As a former killer, it's easy to let Wei Li kill people, but let him notify the death information, it's too funny, he is a professional killer, killing is to survive, and he is not a ** killer, so he doesn't need to get pleasure from other people's grief.

Thinking about what to say in the first sentence in his heart, Wei Li wanted to tell the other party that their relatives were dead, and he wanted to get as many valuable clues as possible from the other party, and he designed several manuscripts, and in the end, they were all stillborn, and he didn't even know which hand to use to knock on the door of this family.

"Hey, are you standing here with any help?" A short, stocky, round-faced woman looked curiously at the duo of Wei Li and Peter.

"Oh? Oh! That ......" Wei Li instinctively touched the gun and touched the holster, and his person also calmed down, but he didn't know how to deal with this gossip woman.

I really didn't know how to deal with it, Wei Li turned his head to look at Peter, this guy actually took half a step back, and signaled Wei Li to let him deal with it himself, which was really unjust.

"Hey, I know you." The round-faced woman pointed at Wei Li excitedly, "You are a policeman, that Wei from the serious crime team, Wei Li, right?" ”

"Yes, it's me." Touching his nose, Wei Li agreed with a wry smile, is he famous?

The woman looked around mysteriously, "What's the matter?" What's going on in our neighborhood? Whose house is dead? Don't tell me it's the Fuller family, let me tell you, we all think that their family will be murdered sooner or later, it's too scary. ”

"That ......" Although the woman said part of it, all Wei Li could do was shake his head and deny it, the later some information was disclosed, the more helpful it would be for the police to solve the case.

Seeing that Wei Li kept shaking his head, his neck was about to break, the round-faced woman frowned, gave full play to her imagination, and asked in a low voice, "Is someone kidnapped?" You're going to secretly rescue the hostages? ”

Looking at the round-faced woman with a strange face, Wei Li really felt that it was easier to be a killer, and he solved the problem with one knife and one shot, without any trouble.

"There are no homicides, and there are no kidnappings, so what's wrong?" It is said that curiosity kills cats, and the curiosity of a round-faced woman is really stronger than that of a cat.

"It's nothing, thank you......" Without a support group, Wei Li could only end the conversation with this woman as soon as possible, he would rather go to Harry Brown's house now than face such a curious and gossip old lady who is good at making up nonsense.

Reaching out to take Wei Li's hand, the woman replied with a smile, "Mrs. Brown." ”

"Mrs. Brown?" Wei Li almost jumped up, glanced at Peter, and then pointed to the white building not far away, "That's your house?" ”

"Of course."

Worried that Mrs. Brown would see something, Wei Li hurriedly asked, "What style is this house?" My colleague Peter Jones is about to buy a house, can we go to your house and sit down? ”

Mrs. Brown clapped her hands happily, "It's an honor." ”

After entering the house, Wei Li and Peter's eyes quickly looked around the room, and the photos on the wall and on the cabinet were dead to the dead fat man who fell out of Zhou Qingquan's coffin, it seemed that they had found the right person.

"What do you drink? I know you Chinese people drink tea. Mrs. Brown asked enthusiastically, rubbing her hands together.

"Anything goes."

Playfully reaching out and pointing at Wei Li, Mrs. Brown smiled and said, "My husband Harry has a client who is Korean, and she gave my husband some tea, which is said to be liked by only authentic Asians. ”

Only authentic Asians like to drink? Black lines appeared on Wei Li's head, and he had an ominous premonition, "Mrs. Brown, just coffee, don't be so troublesome." ”

"It's not troublesome, it seems like you just need to cook it."

"Mrs. Brown, I'd like to borrow your bathroom, can I?" Peter's legs were pressed together, and he frowned, looking anxiously at Mrs. Brown.

The bathroom is an absolutely private space, where 80% of a person's secrets are hidden, so every time you go to a crime scene, or the home of a victim or suspect, the bathroom is a place that must be strictly checked.

The look of urgency to release the water quickly aroused Mrs. Brown's sympathy, "OK, the door at the end of the hallway." ”

Wei Li followed Mrs. Brown into the kitchen, and looked at Mrs. Brown making tea with great interest, "I take the liberty of asking, what does your husband do?" ”

"Oh, Harry is a timber merchant."

Timber merchant? This statement is really quite euphemistic, Wei Li saw a picture frame on the countertop next to the refrigerator, so he picked it up, the main characters in the photo are Harry Brown and a young man, one fat and one thin, except for the shape of the eyes, it is difficult to see any similarities between the two.

"This is Harry and our son Justin, Justin is in college, botany, and he used to say that his father was better and more competent than any professor he knew, and that Harry not only knew every plant, but also knew how to take care of the trees, what kind of trees could be cut down, what kind of trees had to be kept."

Looking at Mrs. Brown's happy and proud face, Wei Li felt more and more difficult to speak, he really annoyed himself, he decided not to mention that topic until Peter came back.

In the photo, the father and son are waving a one-person-high axe to chop a green pine in the wind and snow, and Wei Li asked without words: "You cut the Christmas tree yourself?" ”

"Yes, these trees were planted by Harry, and he cuts down a lot of them every year to give to our friends." The coffee in the coffee machine was ready, but the tea brewed in the pot didn't seem to be good, and Mrs. Brown poured herself a cup of coffee, and Wei Li poured another cup too.

"So your family has their own woodland?"

"Yes, the Brown family has been timber merchants in St. Wood for almost a hundred years, and we have two hundred-acre woodland in East St. Wood."

"Wow, hundreds of acres, it should be huge." Wei Li was surprised, and quickly calculated in his heart how much a hundred acres of woodland should be.

Counting the money, not because Wei left the city, but because the Brown family in addition to the appearance of the maintenance and the small garden looks good, there is really nothing commendable, a while ago because of the purchase of a house, he was also forced by the real estate agent to visit a few houses for sale, compared with those houses, the interior decoration of the Brown family, furniture, electrical appliances and everything really look very old, the floor crunched when stepped on, the coffee is just an ordinary variety, and there is also the appearance of Harry Brown himself, It's not that Wei Li judges people by his appearance, but he doesn't look like a well-maintained rich man no matter how he looks at it.

"Yes, it's very big, it's an extension of the Quumbesi Mountains, there are two lakes in the mountains, and there are some small streams, and it's very cool in the summer, and it's definitely a good place to escape the heat."

"Really?" Wei Li expressed serious doubts, "Then as long as Harry hands over the business to his assistant, you can take a vacation in the mountains and live as you want, it's really happy." ”

"Vacation? Oh please. Mrs. Brown smiled and waved her hand, took Wei Li's clean coffee cup, dried it on the cup holder, and complained: "You know Harry, he is a workaholic, there is never a day when he doesn't work, I have been married to him for more than 20 years, and I have never taken a day off, let alone a vacation, and he was still out on delivery on the morning of our wedding." ”

Thanks to Harry Brown's work attitude, Wei Li could naturally ask, "Then he is also working now?" ”

"Yes, he went to Reading yesterday morning, today to Ashland, tomorrow to Medford." With that, Mrs. Brown brought the teacup to Wei Li, and motioned for Wei Li, who was hesitant, to take the cup.

Seeing Wei Li's hesitation, Venice, who knew Wei Li very well, immediately said: "Lord Yin, in terms of smell, this tea has no dangerous ingredients, you can drink it." ”

smell to analyze, Wei Li glanced at Venice with displeasure, she said smell analysis, she should know how strange the smell of this tea smells, can this thing be drunk? After all, it was something sent from a Korean, whether it was tea or not, Wei Li held the cup in his hands, and looked reluctant to drink it, "Oh, you know his itinerary very well." ”

"It's nothing, he's been going this way for so many years." As she spoke, Mrs. Brown poured herself a glass, took a sip of it, shrunk her eyes strangely, and said with a smile, "It tastes good, right?" Can you taste it and see how I cook it? ”

Looking at those expectant eyes, Wei Li sighed, this is not good to drink, the taste is so sweet and greasy, and there is a strange taste, it is really not delicious.

Putting down the teacup, Wei Li kept the teacup at a certain distance from himself, "So, everyone knows Mr. Brown's itinerary. ”

"He's been a lumber supplier for more than 30 years, he has regular customers, and Brown's business has expanded rapidly, from the time his father completely handed it over to him now, his business has spread all over the state over the years, and even Oregon and Nevada have his big customers."

At first, when Mrs. Brown said that Harry Brown was a timber merchant, he thought that this woman was a coffin merchant, but listening to what she said now, it seemed that she had in her bones that her husband was a timber merchant.

"How many people are in his company? Does every delivery go alone? ”

"Yes, how to put it, Harry is a very frugal man, and he will never pay someone to do what he can do on his own." Although Mrs. Brown is a person who likes to gossip about neighbors, she is not a stupid person, and Wei Li asked a lot about her husband, and she also felt that there was something inappropriate, "Wow, I said so much about my husband, Wei, it's time to talk about you, I watched your live broadcast, I have to say that your marksmanship is amazing, the best I have ever seen, handsome, who did you learn from?" ”
