Chapter 147: Millard Thompson
Inside the villa.
After learning of her husband's death from Roan, Marianne sat on the sofa with an incredible expression on her face, covering her mouth and her eyes red.
After a few minutes, Mary Anne calmed down, choked up and said:
"Brent and I have been married for 10 years and I would have been going on forever, but ......"
Reaching out and handing Mary Anne a piece of toilet paper, Mona, who was sitting on the couch, asked in a low voice:
"What happened between you?"
"Brent only has work in his eyes."
Hearing Mona's question, Mary Anne seemed to have turned on some switch, and said one after another:
Before he got married, although he was busy, he still went home after all.
But after getting married, he always traveled, always busy with work, and even when he went home, he stayed in the study all the time......"
“……”
Hearing this, Mona glanced up at Luo An.
Luo An blinked, not knowing what Mona meant.
"I can't take it anymore,"
At this end, Mary Anne is still narrating:
"I'm alone most of the time after getting married, what's the point of this kind of marriage? I'm so lonely......"
Luo An nodded with his chin on his back.
If the bottom is blocked, it naturally needs to be passed, and the plumber does this.
Speaking of this, Mary Anne noticed that there was something wrong with Mona's eyes beside her, and after being stunned for a moment, she hurriedly waved her hand and said:
"But I still love Brent, and I'm not going to do anything to hurt him."
Hearing this, Mona said expressionlessly:
"But that's not what your divorce records look like."
"That's just because of the money."
Mary Anne sighed:
"You know, when things are tied to money, it gets complicated."
Just then, Roan received a text message from Ryder.
The autopsy report from the Traces Division has come out, and Brent Hughes died around 11:30 p.m. last night, and the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head, and the bullet was a 9mm bullet.
Pressing the button to reply with a receipt and thank you, Luo Ann put away the phone, looked at Mary Anne, and asked in a deep voice:
"Where was you last night around 11:30 p.m.?"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Luo An's words, Mary Anne was stunned for a moment, and then her face instantly turned red, and she shouted loudly:
"I told you! I won't hurt Brent! ”
"It's just a routine inquiry."
For Mary Anne's hysteria, Luo Ann didn't see it, and still said expressionlessly:
"Between husband and wife, when one of them dies, the other is a major suspect anyway.
I am asking you now, mainly to clear your suspicion, please calm down and answer my question well. ”
"Humph!"
Hearing Luo An's words, Mary Anne suddenly snorted coldly.
After taking a sip of the water on the table, Mary Anne replied coldly:
"I was in Manhattan all night last night for an art exhibition.
There's surveillance there, and if you suspect me, you can go there and investigate. ”
"Okay."
Expressionlessly, he recorded the address of the art exhibition hall in a small notebook, and Luo An continued to ask:
"What about Millard Thompson? Was he with you last night, too? ”
“No。”
Hearing Roan mention Millard's name, Marianne's eyes twinkled, and then she shook her head, indicating that Millard had always disliked these things.
But then she eagerly explained:
"It can't have been done by Millard.
Although they don't have a good relationship with each other, Millard is a good man, and he won't do such a thing as killing! ”
Luo An, who had been observing Mary Anne's expression, raised her eyebrows, and then acted as if she hadn't seen anything, and was noncommittal to Mary Anne's words.
After making a few random strokes in the small notebook, he asked again:
"Do you know where Millard was last night?"
"He went for a drink with friends last night."
Seeing that Roan pointed the finger at Millard Thompson again, Mary Anne suddenly took out her mobile phone very angrily:
"I'm going to call Millard back now!
You can ask him, he is definitely not Brent's murderer! ”
“……”
Seeing the other party's movements, the corners of Mona's mouth twitched slightly, and Luo An also twitched the corners of her eyebrows.
Mary Anne did this either because she genuinely believed Millard was not the murderer, or because she was ......
Mona looked up at Roan, who gave her a look.
Both of them silently prepared their pistols.
Ten minutes later, a brand-new red sedan drove to the gate of the villa.
Looking at the sedan through the window of the villa, Marianne smiled:
"Millard is back."
“OK。”
Luo An and Mona nodded, but before they could speak, the owner of the red sedan saw the black SUV parked outside the villa, and the car that was already about to stop suddenly accelerated and rushed out into the distance.
“Fu-k!”
Seeing this scene, Mona suddenly scolded, and was just about to rush out of the villa and run towards the SUV quickly, when Luo An suddenly reached out and grabbed her.
“?”
Mona's face was full of doubts, and Luo An leaned into her ear and whispered quickly:
"Optimistic about Mary Anne."
After saying that, Luo An quickly ran into the SUV and chased after him with one foot on the accelerator.
Looking at the SUV that disappeared in the blink of an eye, Mona was silent for a second, and then turned around and returned to the villa.
——
In the villa district of South New York, the shadow of a red sedan hurtles down the highway.
A few car owners who happened to pass by and were startled were just about to scold, when a black lightning bolt faster than the car just now rushed out of their side.
The pitch-black SUV was running on the road, and Luo An sat in the driver's seat with a calm face, steering the steering wheel with both hands, and throwing aside the anger of the drivers behind him.
He had just informed the NYPD patrols who were patrolling the neighborhood, and the patrolmen said they would arrive soon.
After all, it is a wealthy area, and a large number of NYPDs will come at the slightest disturbance.
Millard Thompson, who was driving a new car, looked at the light and shadow that flew by outside the window, and his heart was pounding uncontrollably.
It was the first time he had driven the car so fast.
Fortunately, this is a villa area, and there is not much traffic, otherwise he feels that he would have crashed a car long ago.
Seeing the black SUV that hung behind him at first, but is now getting closer to himself, Millard Thompson's mouth is dry.
Immediately afterward, the distance between the black SUV and the red sedan began to maintain a balance.
Seeing this, Millard Thompson thought that the speed of the SUV had reached its peak, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But Millard Thompson looked carefully in the rearview mirror and found that Roan, who was driving an SUV, not only had a calm face, but saw that he was looking at him, Roan even waved his hand at Millard, and a smile appeared on his face!
Seeing this scene, Millard Thompson's pupils shook, and his hairs stood on end.
Before he could say the words of greeting, a police car with a shrill alarm bell suddenly appeared in the distance.
After determining that the target was the red sedan in front of them, the two policemen who ran down from the police car immediately quickly laid portable car blocking nails on the ground.
"Shit!"
Seeing the nails on the ground, Millard immediately cursed, hurriedly reduced the speed of the car, twisted the steering wheel, and prepared to drive the car to the opposite lane.
At this moment, Luo An, who was driving an SUV, calmly took out the Glock 18 with his left hand, aimed at the sedan, and pulled the trigger.
Bang bang –
