Chapter 30: Fishing
Diego cautiously glanced at Caroline and Hannah in detective T-shirts, but quickly withdrew his gaze, moved his gaze to the photo on the table, and continued: "Mr. Nelson was reluctant to transfer at first, which I understand, after all, his restaurant is doing well. So I raised the offer one after another, but he still didn't agree. To be honest, the price I quoted at the end was outrageously high, far exceeding the value of the restaurant and the land, and I really couldn't understand what he thought. ”
"But, you still took that restaurant later, right?" Wang Su stared back at Diego, a trademark smile on his lips.
"Ahh It's ......" Diego's gaze withdrew from the photo, lit another cigarette, and smoked with his head down, not daring to look at Wang Su.
"Tell me, how did you get the restaurant down?"
Diego dusted off the cigarette ash that had fallen on his thigh and whispered, "Later... Later you police found out, Mr. Nelson he... Something happened to him. That restaurant was later put up for sale by his sister-in-law, and I... I bought it for Smith Properties......"
"Uh-huh." Wang Su nodded again and again, jumped off the desk and paced back and forth, "To put it simply, Mr. Nelson refused to sell the restaurant to you at the beginning, so you offered a high price, but he still refused, and then he was killed for some reason, and you bought the restaurant as you wished, right?" ”
Diego nodded, not silent, just taking a big gulp.
Wang Su paced in front of him and bent down to look at his lowered face: "Hehehe, Diego, don't you think this thing is too coincidental?" ”
Diego slapped a smile: "This... What do you say...... Listening to you, officer, do you suspect that Mr. Nelson's death has something to do with me? ”
Wang Su picked up the photo of the victim and shook it in front of Diego's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Is it related?" ”
"Of course it has nothing to do with me!" Diego pushed away the photo, "Officer, I know that you haven't solved this case for more than ten years, but you can't wronged people! At that time, our relationship with Mr. Nelson was only a business talk, and if we couldn't talk about it, how could I do such a thing that hurt nature and reason? In fact, I gave up the restaurant in the end, after all, I have already received a lot of benefits from Smith Real Estate by mobilizing the demolition of the residential area, and I am quite satisfied! ”
Wang Su took back the photo, pretending to be sorry and sighed: "Hey, think about what you said." You've already made a fortune overnight by helping Smith Real Estate demolish it, how could you do that kind of horrible thing......"
Diego hurriedly sneered: "Who says it's not, it's better to take the money and enjoy life safely than anything else......"
After a pause, Diego asked cautiously: "So, your police have started investigating this case again?" I've heard... I haven't gotten any valuable clues in this case......"
Hearing this, Caroline shouted, "What are you asking!? Is this something you're worried about!? ”
"Huh... Don't say that, Agent Caroline! Wang Su secretly glanced at Caroline, "Anyway, Diego and Mr. Nelson also know each other, and it is reasonable to inquire about the progress of the case." ”
Diego hurriedly waved his hands: "No, no, no, it's my fault!" You're right, where is my turn to worry about this investigation...... I'm just thinking, if only I could catch the murderer earlier, it's a pity that a good family is broken up like this......"
"Who's to say it's not...", Wang Su opened the door of the office, "but I guess this case should be solved this year, after all, significant progress has been made recently." ”
When saying this, Wang Su deliberately accentuated the words "significant progress".
"Really?" Diego stood up, his face full of pretended concern was embarrassing, "That... That's a good thing, it's really hard for you, I wish you to solve the case as soon as possible! God, that murderer is so cruel......"
"I hope so......" Wang Su beckoned to Caroline and Hannah, "Then we won't bother much, and if we need to, we'll visit again, and ask for your cooperation." ”
"No problem, no problem!" Diego enthusiastically opened the door for Wang Su, "I'm here to see off the police officers......"
"No, please stay."
But Wang Sugang walked out of the door a few steps and stopped, and suddenly looked back at Diego with a smile on his face: "It seems... This case was done by a professional killer, I think he must have been lurking near the crime scene for a long time to observe......"
This time, Wang Su accentuated the words "professional killer".
Hearing this, Diego was obviously stunned, and the smile on his face seemed to freeze: "Oh... Be... Isn't that ......?"
"Gone, goodbye!" Wang Su grinned and waved his hand at Diego.
Five minutes after the trio left, Diego was still stunned at the door of his office, staring down the hallway.
"BOSS, the police are gone, are you okay?" The bald man hurried over.
"No... It's okay. Diego shook his head slowly, turned back to the office, "You go first, I have something to do, don't bother anyone." ”
"Bang dang!"
The office door was slammed shut by Diego and locked from the inside.
At this time, an SUV was parked on the path at the back door of the bar, and the windows were covered with dark explosion-proof film, so that the inside of the car could not be seen from the outside.
In the car, Wang Su and the three of them were surrounding a signal receiver and carefully adjusting the channel.
Then Caroline laughed: "You are so fast, when did you put the bug in Diego's office?" I didn't even pay attention. ”
Hannah also nodded, "yes, I don't see how you put it." You know, it's a bug that intercepts incoming calls, and it's much bigger than a regular bug. Where the hell did you put it, and he wouldn't find out, right? ”
"Hey, I glued the bug to the back of the edge of the table as I sat on the table with my back to him." Saying that, Wang Su put on the headphones and rubbed his hands, "The bait is scattered...... Will you really be able to catch something......
Caroline pouted: "That Diego doesn't look like a good bird, even if this case has nothing to do with him, then there must be a bunch of dirty things behind him!" ”
Hannah nodded, "Hmm... The face is full of meat, and the appearance is disgusting......"
"Shhhh Don't make noise!! Wang Su pressed the headphones with both hands, and his brows twisted into pimples. Seeing this, Caroline and Hannah immediately put on their headphones.
At this time, the sound of Diego's mobile phone dialing came from the earphones.
"Duh... Honk...... Toot ......"
The trio looked down at the receiver, and a phone number was captured on the screen.
"Hello? Diego? A woman's voice came from the headphones.
But as soon as the woman's voice came, Hannah raised her head sharply and glared at Wang Su with a shocked face.
Wang Su frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there a situation? ”
Hannah gasped, "This voice... I know!! It can't be wrong, it's Aunt Chloe's voice, that is, Mrs. Nelson's sister's voice!! ”
"Are you sure?"
Hannah nodded heavily: "Can't be wrong!" I visited Chloe in the hospital after she jumped off the building, and I talked to her aunt Daisy. Rozier chatted. ”
Caroline exclaimed: "How is this possible, why did the victim's sister have a ......"
"Don't make a noise!" Wang Su raised his hand to interrupt Caroline's words, and Diego's voice came from inside the headphones.
"Daisy, the police just came to me."
"The police went looking for you too?" Daisy's voice looked surprised.
Diego immediately asked, "What are you asking... Have you also been approached by the police? ”
"Yes... On the day Chloe jumped off the building, an agent from the Eastern Police Station came to the hospital to look for me, but... It seems that it is simply to understand why Chloe jumped off the building. ”
Diego was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Daisy... I don't feel good...... One of the policemen who had just come to me was a man with a very unusual look in his eyes, and I felt furious when he saw it. ”
Daisy whispered, "I said you have to calm down, don't show yourself!" But... It stands to reason that the person you are looking for is a professional killer, and the police have not obtained any clues for so many years, it seems that it is still very stable, don't think about it first. ”
Hearing this, Wang Su gritted his teeth and raised the corners of his mouth.
Right direction!!
There's really something wrong with this Diego!!
But to his surprise, even Chloe's aunt was involved.
Pressing his excitement, Wang Su pressed the headphones with both hands and continued to monitor carefully.
At this time, Diego's voice came again: "God, you don't know, I almost broke down just now. The man said in front of me that the case had made significant progress, and that he said that it was a professional killer, and that he said... I will definitely solve the case this year......"
Daisy exclaimed, "Could it be that the police found any evidence!?" No way? You're looking for a professional killer who has successfully stumped the police for more than ten years, how can there be any major progress now? ”
At this time, there was the crisp clamshell sound of the Dupont lighter in the earphones, only to hear a long exhalation sound from Diego, and then said: "Let's calm down first, don't think about the bad first, maybe this is the police tricks to test me?" In this way, if there are still police officers looking for you recently, you must hold back and play a good trick! I'll try to get in touch with that person first...... Hang up first......"
"Doodoo ......"
Diego hung up.
"Oh my God!!" Caroline shouted loudly, and couldn't help but punch Wang Su's arm twice, "It's worthy of Detective Wang, and I really checked the right direction!" ”
"Chloe's aunt...... What is the relationship with Diego......" Wang Su touched his arm and muttered to himself.
Hannah shook her head again and again: "That Daisy looks kind, but I didn't expect the death of my sister and brother-in-law to be related to her!" ”
"Shh......h Don't be noisy...... The sound is here again! Wang Su pressed the headphones with both hands and suddenly shouted.
Caroline and Hannah put on their headphones again, only to hear the sound of a crackling keyboard in the headphones.
"What is he doing?" Caroline asked in a whisper.
Wang Su listened with bated breath for a while, and said noncommittally: "I'm not sure." I guess it's possible that he was using a computer to contact the killer, and I don't think the killer could have left Diego his phone number......"
Five minutes later, in the anxious pacing of Diego, the ringtone of the mobile phone came, and Wang Su looked down to see that a string of garbled characters were displayed on the receiver's screen.
Caroline stared at the screen and asked, "Huh?" What is this number? ”
"Humph!" The corners of Wang Su's mouth rose again, "It's an encrypted satellite phone, eighty percent of it was the killer who called......"
