Chapter Seventy-Four: A Former Colleague

Five police cars were parked in the parking lot in front of the villa, and the police lights were flashing all the time. Police officers come and go, and forensic doctors are carefully exhuming bodies in the pits.

Several workers are under police investigation. But they were all according to Gary Peterson's instructions.

"Yes, Mr. Officer, I did what Mr. Peterson instructed, dug up a few smaller pine trees, and transplanted them to the front of the parking lot, and then we found this!"

A worker is repeatedly explaining to the police.

"It's incredible, I had no idea it was going to be like this, right, how could I have known beforehand? Do you suspect that I did this? Gary Peterson received a focused questioning from the police, "I've lived here for 10 years, how can I not know where I live?" Could it be that I killed this poor person and then found someone to dig her out? And then call the police? God, what a stupid guess! ”

"Don't get excited, Mr. Peterson, we're just asking for a routine question, and of course you'll have to go back to the police station with us first." A middle-aged sheriff is well-informed, and he is not so easily fooled.

"I'm going to call my lawyer!" Gary Peterson looked furious, waving his arms.

Zhen Fan and Bit Jackson were also questioned by the police officers, but they were more from the perspective of bystanders, and they were not questioned too much by the police, and after asking a few questions, they were no longer entangled.

"It's really a nuisance, xiexie you Zhen!" Bit Jackson took out a cigarette and tried to light it, but he couldn't find a lighter, so he crumpled it up and threw it on the ground.

"I'm just doing my job, but ...... I hope you don't spread the word about it, and talk to Mr. Peterson later! Zhen Fan said.

"I will, anyway...... You're right, this stubborn old man should believe you by now! Bit smiled, "This may be a good thing, although it will be a bit troublesome!" ”

"Mr. Peterson is completely dissociated, the deceased died before he moved in!" Zhen Fan also nodded, relieved Bit's heart, he knew that although Bit said it easily, he still had some worries about his old friend Peterson.

"By the way, you still have a glass of wine, I'll bring it to you!"

"No, I'll just go myself!"

"I'll go!"

Bit pressed Zhen Fan's shoulder and insisted on serving the glass of wine by himself. Zhen Fan knew what he meant, and he wanted to reconcile the previous misunderstandings between Zhen Fan and Gary Peterson in this way.

Zhen Fan no longer insisted, watched Bit go in, brought out the glass of wine, Bit poured a glass in his own hand, Zhen Fan took the wine glass he handed over, the two touched it lightly, looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, an off-road police car was speeding from the mountain road, the speed was very fast, the car stopped, and then three people came out of it, Zhen Fan saw it, and couldn't help but turn around quickly.

"Zhen, is that you? How did you end up here? ”

It was Sarah's voice.

"I don't think I'll be able to finish this wine!"

Zhen Fan smiled bitterly and handed the wine glass to the bit.

"I'm an acquaintance, it's good luck!"

"I'll keep it for you!" Bit looked at the three people who were walking towards them, couldn't help but smile, took a few steps back with Zhen Fan's cup, and stood aside to watch.

"Hey, Zhen, I met you again, but how could it be in such a place? When did you become a consultant for the police here? It was Wren who spoke, and he came over with a smile and shook Zhen Fan's hand.

"Hey, Zhen!"

The relationship between Linna and Zhen Fan has always been painless, and with a simple hello, she and Sarah walked towards the sheriff who was commanding in the center.

"CBI, I'm Sarah Vogel, and we've taken on this case."

Sarah showed her ID to the sheriff.

"Michael Kane, sheriff of this precinct, I'm going to do everything I can to cooperate with you, is there anything I need to do?" Usually such cases are intervened by the CBI, and the sheriff is helpless.

"Bring the body back to CBI as soon as possible and get a forensic examiner! Was the deceased male or female? How long has it been? Sarah was going to ask some basic information.

"It's been more than ten years, and the specific results have to wait for the autopsy results to come out, the deceased is a woman, and the age is not yet certain, about 22 to 38 years old, this is the preliminary judgment of the on-site forensic doctor!" The sheriff told Sarah about the results.

"Wren, don't waste your time there, call back immediately and have someone look into the list of women who disappeared ten years ago, between the ages of twenty-two and thirty-eight."

"Haode, Chief, right away!"

Wren made a helpless gesture to Zhen Fan, and then walked to the police car to make a call.

Sarah walked up to Gary Peterson.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Peterson, we have to take you first, and I hope you can cooperate with the police."

Gary Peterson shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands helplessly.

"What else can I say? I've already called my lawyer, he'll be going to the police station, and before that, I'll tell you everything I know! ”

"Lina, take Mr. Peterson back to the police station first."

"Haode, Chief!" Lina shook her head at Gary Peterson, "Let's go, Mr. Peterson." ”

Seeing Lina and Peterson walk away, Sarah walked towards Zhen Fan.

"Hi, Sarah!"

Zhen Fan smiled and tried to appear in front of Sarah with a very harmonious face.

"It seems that I really underestimated you, and I got together with a rich man so soon!" Sarah sneered, "Weishenme appeared at the scene of the murder? Looks like you're going to have to come with us too! ”

"No, no, Sarah, I've been questioned, the deceased have been dead for ten years, and I've only been in the United States for a few months......"

"How do you know that the deceased has been dead for more than ten years?" Sarah suddenly smiled slyly, "I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer, Wren-"

Sarah turned to Wren next to the police car and shouted loudly.

"Chief, I'm—"

Wren hurriedly ran over, he could see that Sarah's face was not very good, but he didn't want to touch his head.

"Take Dr. Zhen back!"

"This ......" Wren suddenly leaned over and whispered to Sarah, "Boss, we can't declare a personal vendetta, and besides, Zhen is still our colleague!" ”

"It's a former colleague, not anymore!" Sarah glared, "Take it away!" ”

"Okay, okay!" Wren hurriedly raised his hand and smiled bitterly at Zhen Fan.

"I'll go with you!" Zhen Fan spread his hands helplessly. At this time, he didn't want to drink Sarah, so it was really impossible for the two of them to get off the stage, not to mention that Sarah was just angry with him, and he was just embarrassed by the airport.

"Zhen, do you want my lawyer to come over!"

Zhen Fan didn't speak, but Bit Jackson on the side quit, it was clear that CBI was looking for trouble, he was a little annoyed, Zhen was still his friend.

"It's okay, Bit, Sarah and I are colleagues!"

Zhen Fan said a word, and under the somewhat surprised gaze of Bit Jackson, he got into the police car with Wren. There was a smug smile on Sarah's lips.

Zhen Fan did not sit in the interrogation room, but stayed in Sarah's office, and Wren was chatting with him, but the topics were inseparable from women, which Wren often talked about after enjoying Aiqing's bath.

A short time later, Sarah walked in with Gary Peterson, along with Gary Peterson's lawyer.

"Dr. Zhen!"

Gary took the initiative to greet Zhen Fan, which showed that Gary had believed him and felt guilty about it.

"I'm sorry I've bothered you, do you need me to do something? Mark is a professional lawyer and can help you with this matter......" Gary gestured to the lawyer next to him.

"No, no, Xiexie, Mr. Peterson, but I have to do something for you, or your troubles won't end there!"

"Thank you very much, I look forward to seeing you!" Gary stepped forward and shook Zhen Fan's hand, holding it very tightly.

"You're so strong, Gary! Can I call you that? ”

Zhen smiled.

"Of course, Zhen!"

Gary smiled.

"Zaijian, Gary, wait for me at home, I'll go to you soon." Zhen Fan made a gesture of making a phone call.

"Zaijian, Zhen!" Gary said, and walked away with the lawyer.

Then the atmosphere in the office seemed eerie. Sarah walked straight to her desk and sat down, and without looking at Zhen Fan's language, she began to clap her hands.

"Alright, listen!"

Everyone also stopped what they were doing, waiting for Sarah to speak further.

"The time of the deceased's death was eleven years ago, female, age has come out, between 21 and 26 years old, five feet seven inches, brown hair, thin physique, we will have the image restored later, so we have to confirm the victim's name as soon as possible, and that villa, it is a famous Hollywood producer named Dave Hagenberg ten years ago, we must find this person as soon as possible and arrest him!"

"Wren, you're in charge of Dave Hagenbuck, Linna, you're in charge of that poor girl!"

Sarah clapped her hands and went about her business.

"What about me? Can you go home? ”

Zhen Fan looked at Sarah and smiled, he had to make a good impression on Sarah.

"You?" Sarah glanced at him with a smirk, "I'll take care of you personally." ”

Zhen Fan grew his mouth and glared at Sarah!

"Let's go, I've found you a good place, let's talk together!" Sarah patted Zhen Fan's buttocks, "Don't forget, what you said on the mountain just now." ”

"What did I say?"

"You say we're colleagues, don't admit it!"

"No...... Well, I said, it used to be! ”

"But...... You're not talking about the past, but now! Sarah's smile seemed to be a seductive trap.
