Arthur had heard that many companies forbade their employees to have a relationship in private in
order to make profit. Although he didn't understand why the company's profit had something to do with
the employees' relationship, most companies had this unwritten rule.
Fortunately, there was no such abnormal rule in their police station. Otherwise, he and Lenny would not
only have a taboo love, but also have to sneak around in private.
"That day, I was in the bathroom. I overheard Mr. Shang talking to Mr. Shen on the phone, saying that
he would take a college student to accompany Mr. Shen in the evening. Then, Elisa happily told me
that Mr. Shang wanted to introduce the big boss of the headquarter to her. Only then did I realize that
Mr. Shang, that bastard, wanted to make a deal with Mr. Shen by taking advantage of Elisa!
I'm a scholar and have no strength to fight. I didn't expect that there would be such a dirty deal between
the senior leaders. I couldn't tell Elisa directly, so I had to stop her from going to the meeting. But Elisa
knew nothing. She thought I was deliberately making difficulties for her, so she had a big quarrel with
me and left in anger. If... If I had known it would be like this, I would have told her everything. I wouldn't
have let her go. It's all my fault. I deserve it! "
The butterfly effect ultimately led to irreparable consequences.
If his parents hadn't objected to their breakup, they wouldn't have broken up and wouldn't have been
misunderstood in the company. If he had known that Elisa was in danger and stopped Elisa from going
to the meeting in advance, Elisa wouldn't have been involved in the case of Scales' death and even her
life would have been involved.
However, it was going to rain and her mother was going to get married. There were not so many 'if' in
the world.
For the first time, the two bitches, Arthur and Lenny, didn't say anything. Arthur wanted to comfort him,
but he was a bitch. When he confronted others, his aura was not inferior to anyone else. Comforting
others?
No way.
Arthur took out a cigarette and lit it. After exhaling several smoke rings, he continued to ask, "Apart
from these, do you have anything else to say, such as if something suspicious has happened around
you recently, or anything else?"
Arthur knew that his question was also a waste of time. The murderer did not show any mercy, and
there was not even a trace left on the scene. Therefore, it was very likely that the murderer was a
professional killer. Such a professional killer who bought his life with money had no contact with the
dead, and even did not know who was killed. How could there be anything suspicious?
As expected, after thinking for a long time, Zeke couldn't remember anything. Arthur asked a few
simple questions and finally closed the scroll reluctantly. "The last question. Do you still want to see her
for the last time?"
With his fingers clenched, Zeke said, "Yes, I do. I want to take a look at her again."
Even from now on, he would never see Elisa again, even if he knew that even if he stood in front of her,
she would never recognize him, nor would she cry out his name with a smile.
But he still wanted to take another look at her.
He would never refuse to go through fire and water for her.
Arthur put out the cigarette. In the smoke shrouded inquiry room, Zeke sat on the chair like a clay
sculpture. He didn't stand up stiffly until someone took him to see the corpse of Elisa. He couldn't
remember how he went to the forensic dissecting room.
His memories were mottled and blurred, and he was isolated from life and death. No matter how
regretful he was now, he could never go back.
At the same time, in Wilson's office.
Standing in front of the window, Arthur looked out of the window at the endless darkness. There were
thousands of lights, but in the end, only a small area could be lit up. Compared with the darkness, the
lights were too weak.
It turned out that they were so insignificant in front of the heavenly destiny. They thought they could
compete with the heavens, but only to find that they could do nothing.
Lenny and Wilson sat on the old-fashioned black leather sofa. Wilson held half a cigarette in his mouth.
After a long time, he rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and said, "I'll get you a cup of coffee."
They had been busy for two days and two nights in a row. Since Lenny and the others came here and
didn't have a rest last night, they must be tired.
Arthur, who had been pretending to be silent, suddenly turned his head and said, "No, thanks. Lenny is
not used to the coffee outside. Is there any star hotel nearby?"
Wilson had a strange look on his face. He had heard of Lenny's powerful background. The salary of
these servants for a month was probably less than that of a belt. He silently took out a cigarette and lit
it. "Turn left when you go out. There is a five star family business not far away. Shen Group's industry. "
Arthur thanked him and checked the hotel's phone number. He asked someone to bring some coffee
and midnight snack here, and specially prepared a bowl of wonton with clear soup without onions,
garlic or peppers for the picky Lenny.
After the midnight snack was sent to everyone, Arthur asked them to have a rest and wait for the
results of the autopsy.
After putting the coffee and wonton on the table, Arthur took a cup of coffee and took a big sip. He
looked at Wilson and asked, "Captain Wilson, what do you think of this matter?"
Wilson had just eaten two mouthfuls of noodles, and his second mouthful was stuck in his throat,
almost spitting out all. Why could Lenny eat wonton from a five-star hotel, and they could only eat
noodles from a 24 hour snack bar at the door?
He had never seen such a stingy superior!
It was not easy for him to swallow the noodles and took a sip of coffee. "It seems that Zeke is not the
murderer, and he has been resting at home that night. His family, community surveillance and security
can prove this, but his testimony can be verified with the fact that Scales had sex with Elisa when he
was alive."
Previously, Nolan's testimony had been very evasive, saying that the dinner that night was just a
normal business dinner, and the statements of the other big shots were the same. The testimony of
Zeke was just enough to corroborate it, but now, Elisa's corpse examination report had not come out,
so there was no way to confirm whether she had been sexually assaulted.
Hearing this, Arthur took out a photo of the dead, which he had just shown to Zeke. "From the photo, I
can see that Elisa's body has been seriously rotten. Fortunately, it is not damaged too much, so we can
clearly recognize the face of the dead. But, Captain Wilson, have you carefully observed the dead
body?"
Wilson was already an old criminal police. He had seen even the other more disgusting corpses, so he
ate the noodles as usual and asked, "Because of the sudden incident, I didn't personally come to the
scene. After the corpse was transported back, I directly sent it to the forensic department for corpse
inspection. So far, I have only seen the photos. Is there anything wrong?"
