Chapter 007: Vidale's Ambition
Walking out of the ward where Yulaier was staying, Chen Keng asked Vidale; "What is the situation, how can someone confess at this time?"
"You only need to go to the police station to find out the specific situation." Vidale said truthfully; Chass didn't say much.
There are three other suspects in the police station, and Chen Keng is sure that he is one of them. It is not certain what happened during this time, but Chen Keng can vaguely guess that someone must be secretly manipulating all this.
Not long after he set off, Chen Keng received a call from Paideli, who said directly; "Detective, things seem to be a bit troublesome here."
"Tell me about it."
"The cause of Ulaire's death has been determined to be caused by a car accident, but now the news from the coroner over there has changed, and now the news is suicide."
"Suicide?" This is simply impossible, Chen Keng didn't want to deny it directly, "Where are you, I'll go to you." ”
Knowing that Patrickli was at the funeral home, Chen Keng asked Vidale to go to the funeral home to find Patrick.
After arriving at the funeral home, Chen Keng told Vidale a few words and asked Vidale to go back to the police station first. Then, Chen Keng walked straight to the door, and was waiting for his Patrick.
"Detective, over here."
Coming to Paideli's side, Chen Keng said directly; "Let's go in and have a look, we should have the right to see the body, right?"
The family has no opinion, and Paideli and Chen Keng can naturally see Yulaier's body. Knowing the relationship between her daughter and Patrick, Yulail's mother had nothing to object to.
The last time it was identified was a car accident, but it turned into a suicide in a day, and even the confessor has already appeared, which can be imagined.
After seeing Yulaier's corpse, Chen Keng couldn't see the reason. Entering quickly, coming out quickly, walking out of the morgue and leaving the funeral home, Chen Keng asked Pai Deli directly; "Who has been here today, and where was the coroner last time?"
"I'm going to contact the coroner and find someone to find out what's going on here."
Patrick's investigation is much more than usual, Chen Keng only needs to wait for news, farewell to Patrick Chen Keng drove Padeli to the town police station.
It was close to night when Chen Keng returned to the police station, there were many police officers in the police station, and even the sheriff stayed in the police station, nodding to the sheriff as a greeting, Chen Keng went directly to Vidale and Chasi.
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's find a place to talk."
According to Vidair's meaning, Chen Keng and Vidale left the police station directly and walked towards a small restaurant. After taking his seat, Vidale said; "Things are getting a little troublesome, and I always feel like there's something going on here."
"There's definitely going on." Chen Keng directly said the point; "After we left the police station, who were in the police station? And who met the three suspects? ”
Chen Keng asked about this matter, and Vidale naturally investigated it, so he said; "All surveillance in the police station has been turned off, but there is one person who is the most suspicious."
"Who?"
"Sheriff!" Vidale took out a small notebook and explained to Chen Keng; "This is a record I wrote, and it shows that everyone left the police station shortly after we left it, and the surveillance equipment was turned off."
"You mean, only the sheriff is still in there?"
"Not bad." Vidale nodded; "Only the sheriff was there, and the surveillance was closed for only about an hour, after which the surveillance was restored, and two of the three suspects were released, and one confessed."
Looking carefully at what Vidale had written, Chen Keng suddenly found something suspicious; "David Pedders is your sheriff?"
"That's right." Vidale nodded.
"David Pades? Pades? With a muttering in his mouth, Chen Keng immediately asked; Is the richest man in town, Padley, David Padley? What is his relationship with the sheriff? ”
"Sheriff and Patrick are brothers, don't you know, Mr. Chen?"
"Brother?" Chen Keng seemed to understand something.
After the two had dinner, Chen Keng received a call from Patrick, who said that the coroner had been found, and even more so to find out who had come, and that Patrick's male companion had also arrived here.
Separated from Vidale, Chen Keng drove directly to the manor where Padley lived.
After the two of them took their seats, Patrick said directly; "Everyone already knows that all the people who went to the funeral home at that time, except for the two police officers Vidale and Chath, have been there."
"If so many people have been there, it's really hard to find out who the suspect is." Speaking of which, Chen Keng changed the topic and said; "Mr. Padley, where is your male companion, why haven't I seen him?"
"I'll call him out." Patrick said, turning his head and shouting back; "Dude, please come out for a while."
After a while, a man wrapped in a bath towel appeared, and when he saw this person's face clearly, Chen Keng's face immediately tightened, like! It's so similar, this man looks almost the same as Padley!
Hiding his emotions, Chen Keng politely stretched out his hand, "Private detective, Chen Keng!" ”
"You're the detective?" The man wrapped in a bath towel reached out to hold Chen Keng's outstretched hand, "Pai Dewen." ”
Paides, Paideli, Paidewen, Chen Keng finally understood. The conversation here is not very long, but it is the most difficult conversation of Chen Keng, and every word Chen Keng says is appropriate.
Back at his residence, Chen Keng collapsed on the bed weakly. Make a phone call to Vidale and ask Vidale to find one of the coroners.
When Vidale found the coroner, he only asked who had been to the funeral home this afternoon.
When Vidale called, it turned out to be the same as Chen Keng guessed, and Patrick said one less person, that is, Sheriff Paides had also been to the funeral home.
"Officer Vidal, you talk to Officer Chasi, this case doesn't need to be investigated." After saying these words, Chen Keng directly ended the call with Vidale.
Since some people have already confessed their guilt, it is not good for them to investigate it, so why should Chen Keng get involved. In that case, you will only make trouble for yourself, just know who it is, and the result is not something that Chen Keng can change.
Six days before his visa expired, Vidale suddenly arrived, delivering the promised $5,000 and a thick envelope.
"What is this?"
"The $5,000 is what was said before, and even if someone pleads guilty, Mr. Chen can't be busy in vain. As for this zinc envelope, this man sent Mr. Deli to me to hand it over to Mr. Chen, and I don't know exactly what it contains. ”
Speaking of which, Vidale couldn't help but ask; "The person who confessed was not the mastermind?"
"You understand, some things have already been proactive, and it won't do you any good to investigate them again. I have a few days left to go back to China, and I don't want to cause myself some unnecessary trouble. ”
Chen Keng said it so bluntly, Vidale could naturally understand what Chen Keng meant, so he said; "It's almost time to close, so let's find a place to talk?"
Vidale can have such ambitions, which makes Chen Keng a little unexpected.
