Chapter 16: Prenuptial Agreements
"It's a normal inquiry, OK?"
Without waiting for Lacey to speak, Roan took out Glock 18 and put it on the desk, smiling:
"We didn't suspect you, Mr. Darren. But according to the procedure, we must ask these questions to rule out suspicion about you. ”
Seeing Luo An's gun, Darren frowned and was about to get angry, but looking at the smile on Luo An's face, he barely suppressed it, and said in an unhappy tone:
"I was looking at a real estate in Los Angeles yesterday and staying at the Hilton Hotel for the night."
"Okay."
Lacey wrote and drew in her notes, asked a few more questions, and then asked with a serious face:
"Mr. Darren, may I ask if you husband and wife have offended anyone recently, and when you bought this villa, did you find any strange people?"
“no。”
Darren waved his hands again and again, and his tone was very angry: "There was nothing wrong with buying this villa, and our husband and wife have always been gentle, and the affairs in the company are handled in accordance with the articles of association, and we have not offended anyone at all." ”
“...... All right. ”
Lacey briefly jotted down these things and turned her head to look at Luo An, who immediately said when she saw this:
"Mr. Darren, given the financial situation of the two of you, we judged that the other party kidnapped Ms. Sabina for ransom, so if nothing else, the other party will soon call you to ask for ransom."
“OK。”
Hearing Luo An's words, Darren breathed a sigh of relief, waved his big hand and said directly:
"It's okay, as long as Sabina can come back, it doesn't matter how much the other party wants, I don't care!"
Luo An ignored the other party's low-key pretense and continued:
"But for Sabina's personal safety, we will send an agent to follow you, keep you safe, and monitor your phone, so as to try to locate the kidnappers through the phone......"
"No, you can't do that."
Hearing this, Darren stood up abruptly and said in a very unhappy tone:
"Since the other party just wants money, then just give them money! What if the other party learns of your existence and tears up the ticket directly? I can't gamble with Sabina's life! ”
"You ......"
As soon as Lacey heard this, she subconsciously wanted to refute the other party, but Luo An grabbed her arm and turned her head to look at Luo An, Luo An got up and asked seriously:
"Mr. Darren, are you sure you don't need us to keep your man safe?"
"No, you don't!"
Darren replied coldly, but for some reason his tone suddenly softened, and continued:
"I just want my wife to come back safely, and if the other party asks for money, then give it to them, we are not short of money! It's just a simple deal, I can do it myself, you FBI just need to catch the kidnappers. ”
"Okay."
Luo An nodded, didn't continue to say anything, pulled Lacey, who hadn't reacted yet, and left the study of the villa.
The two walked out of the villa, and Lacey looked around to make sure that no one could hear her, and suddenly asked in confusion:
"Luo An, the other party is very uncooperative, and he is very suspicious!"
"That's right, maybe it's his hand."
Luo An nodded, turned on Nokia and asked Mona on the other end of the phone:
"Mona, do you have any recent financial situation or consumption bills for Dalun?"
"Of course, you have to believe in my Mona's strength."
Mona's crisp voice came from the other end of the phone, laughing:
Darren did have a plane ticket to Los Angeles yesterday, still in first class, but several local Hilton hotels did not have a record of his stay. So I checked Darren's previous bills again, and found that he had often gone to Las Vegas in the past year, and basically the bills were not recorded, and a simple estimate showed that he had probably lost nearly two million dollars. ”
Luo An nodded and continued to ask:
"Did Darren and Sabina sign any prenuptial agreements when they got married?"
"Well, wait for me for a few minutes."
There was a crackling keyboard on the other end of the phone, and after a long time, Mona's voice came, and she said with some excitement:
"There's a copy! It is recorded in a well-known law firm in New York, which contains several pages of rules, one of which is that if Darren divorces on his own initiative, then he must leave the house, and if Sabina dies, Darren can only get 300,000 US dollars, and Sabina will donate all the funds she inherited from her parents. ”
“...... I don't understand the thinking of rich people. ”
Luo An shook his head, tilted his head and said to Lacey:
"Darren's money mainly comes from his and Sabina's company, he is addicted to gambling and spends a lot of money, and the capital chain in his hand is likely to be broken. And he couldn't tell Sabina about it, so it was obviously a good idea to kidnap his wife and ask for a ransom in order to get a lot of money.
According to the prenuptial agreement, Sabina only received $300,000 for Darren to die, which made Darren not kill his wife for money, because it was not worth it. ”
Lacey also came to her senses, and then Luo An's words were analyzed: "So Sabina should be safe now, because she can't get the money if she dies Darren." Darren was just asking for money. ”
"That's right."
Luo An nodded, you can try this direction, so he raised Nokia and looked at the car in front of him and asked:
"Mona, the cars in this villa are all the latest Cadillacs, and the license plate numbers are ***, ***, can you locate them?"
"Of course!"
A few crackling keyboard sounds sounded, and Mona soon said with a smile:
"That's it! I know where they're going now! ”
"OK, good work, Mona."
Hanging up the phone, Luo An turned his head to look at Lacey and smiled:
"You said before that you came out of the intelligence department, and the tracking technology is very high, and Darren will hand it over to you next, and you will go wherever he goes."
“Easy!”
Lacey smiled, threw Roan a sign of believing me, and turned and walked into the villa.
A two-pronged approach to ensure that Darren's next actions will never leave his control, Luo An nodded with satisfaction, and was just about to return to the car to wait for Darren's next move, when Nokia suddenly rang.
Taking out his mobile phone and finding that it was Ryder who called him, Roan was a little puzzled but still connected the phone.
"Ann, I need your help."
Ryder on the other end of the phone didn't talk nonsense, and said directly:
"I went through all the documents of the serial murder case and found no clues. I just heard in the office that you've solved the kidnapping case, so why don't you analyze the documents of the serial murder case? ”
"Uh."
Luo An picked up Nokia and looked at it, and hesitated:
"I haven't solved the kidnapping case, the murderer of the kidnapping case hasn't been caught, and I can't go back to the office yet...."
"I don't need you to come back."
Ryder's voice on the other end of the phone changed, and an SUV with the same seat as Roan slowly stopped on the road not far away, and Ryder got out of the car with his mobile phone and grinned:
"I've come to you with the papers."
Ann: "......"
