Chapter 316: Ruth

"Honey, you're amazing, this is my first time in first class!" Miss Bao said excitedly.

"Don't be excited, since you're here, accompany me to meet a big man in a while, but you can't look like this anymore, just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden!" Tang Ning commanded.

"Oh? Which big guy did you meet? Miss Bao asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Mr. Carl, the steel tycoon of New York." Tang Ning replied lightly.

"America's steel tycoon, he looks very powerful when he hears it!" Miss Bao muttered to herself.

"It's actually pretty good." Downing added, but secretly said in his heart, if I remember correctly, at the time of the 1929 stock market crash, he committed suicide because of bankruptcy, and I don't know if there will be a Mr. Downing who made a fortune from condoms at that time...... (See America Born Again 1929)

While Tang Ning and Miss Bao were chatting, the second mate came over to him and said, "Mr. Tang Ning, Mr. Karl has agreed to see you, but he will only give you ten minutes, so we have to hurry." ”

"Okay, let's go now." Downing replied as he got up.

Maybe it's because it's only ten minutes, or maybe it's because Carl doesn't bother to talk more to a Chinese detective like Downing, so he goes straight to the point as soon as they meet: "You're asking me about the quarrel with Nick two days ago, right?" Actually, it's nothing, it's just normal business. ”

"Then can I ask, what kind of business is it? But rest assured, I will not divulge your trade secrets. Downing assured.

Karl hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Actually, it's nothing to say, anyway, this deal has not been negotiated, so there is no need to keep it secret." In fact, I just wanted to buy the Titanic, but Nick didn't agree to it, and even my offer was far more than his cost, he didn't agree, I believe you also heard the second mate say, Nick is now being pursued by the bank for compensation, I kindly helped him get through the difficulties, and I didn't take the opportunity to lower the price, I really can't understand why he didn't agree, so I quarreled with him emotionally. ”

"Are you sure your offer won't cost Mr. Nick?" Tang Ning asked cautiously.

"Of course, the steel of the Titanic was bought from my family, so I have a good idea of the approximate cost, that is, between seventy and eighty million pounds, I opened eighty million pounds for him, how could he lose money?" Karl replied angrily. (According to the data, the Titanic was built at a cost of 75 million pounds.) )

"Then I can ask, why did you pay a high price for the Titanic?" Downing asked.

This time, Carl didn't answer Downing's question, and directly shook his head and refused: "This really involves trade secrets, and I don't think it should have anything to do with Nick's death this time, so I refuse to answer." ”

Seeing Carl insisting so much, Downing was not reluctant, but just as he was about to say goodbye, suddenly the door was pushed open from the outside, and the heroine Ruth appeared, only to see her walk quickly to Carl's side, and asked him angrily: "Carl, why did you arrest Jack?" ”

Faced with Ruth's questioning, Carl snorted coldly, "You still ask me why?" I'd like to ask why you got involved with this nasty guy and even made him paint you a picture like that! ”

Although Carl deliberately didn't make it clear, Downing knew that he was referring to the fruit oil painting that Jack painted for Ruth, thinking that when "Titanic" was just released, Downing was just a primary school monk, and he took the ticket issued by his father's unit to see this epic masterpiece, and then he was ashamed of the scenes painted in it and didn't dare to look up carefully, but at that time, he definitely didn't expect that he would become an old driver after more than ten years......

"I'll let him draw whatever he wants for me, that's my freedom!" Lu retorted without showing any weakness.

"But don't forget your identity, you are now my fiancée, you are not only embarrassing yourself, but also embarrassing me!" Carl roared.

"I'm your fiancée, but I'm your equal, so I can decide what I'm going to do!"

"You! You! ”

Just when Tang Ning was happy to see the two arguing, suddenly the second mate came over and whispered a few words to Tang Ning, so Tang Ning took advantage of the gap between the two quarrels, walked to the middle and said: "Two, I'm sorry, please dissipate your anger first, I have something I want to ask Miss Ruth." ”

Although Carl was arguing with Ruth a minute ago, Downing wanted to ask Ruth, but Carl still stood up and said, "What are you asking Ruth about?" She couldn't have had anything to do with Nick's death! ”

Tang Ning replied with a smile: "I'm sorry, Miss Ruth really has something to do with Mr. Nick's death, according to the waiter at the restaurant, Mr. Nick had just had a glass of wine with Miss Ruth in the restaurant twenty minutes before Mr. Nick was killed, so Miss Ruth can be regarded as almost the last person known to have close contact with Mr. Nick."

And what makes us feel even more strange is that Mr. Nick was only the vice president of the White Star Company before, and the chairman was Miss Ruth's father, but he made a strange will before committing suicide to transfer the White Star Company to Mr. Nick, and only when Nick died, Miss Ruth was entitled to inherit the White Star Company.

In this case, Miss Ruth was both the motive for the murder and the last person to have intimate contact with the deceased, so do you think I should investigate her? ”

Hearing Downing say this, Carl immediately turned around and frowned and asked Ruth, "Ruth, did you really see Nick before he had an accident?" ”

Ruth replied disapprovingly, "Yes, but I just had a drink with him, should I be suspicious of a friend who has a glass of wine?" ”

"But the problem is that according to the waiter, you were very emotional at that time, and it didn't look like you met a friend, just a glass of wine!" The second mate immediately pierced.

"Well, I'll admit I had a fight with Nick, and I even wanted to kill him! Because I suspect that my father was killed by him! Ruth said viciously.

PS: When I was scanning the book, I accidentally saw a eunuch article "Super Water Dispenser", although this book was not successful, but I personally think this brain hole is very good, to apply the routine of "food supplier", it is a food text, if it is changed to "super microwave oven" it will be more appropriate.
