Opposite Thomas Hodelman in the bar, Annie Han was asking him questions, and his forehead was already sweating.
There were Isabel's followers taking careful notes.
Lu Ming was behind the bar. From this angle, Thomas couldn't see him.
Listening to Han Anni's questions, Lu Ming nodded. Xiao Nizi was getting better and better, and her interrogation skills had greatly improved.
Glancing at Hetty, who was looking a little uneasy across from him, Lu Ming whispered: "Don't worry, it'll be fine."
Just now, Hetty mentioned that Simmons often got drunk here and had many conversations with her. What Simmons said the most was that Thomas Hodelman had given him too many favors, and she had always been very strange.
, he was just working as a worker in a tannery factory, earning the same salary as others, and he didn’t save any money. How could he start talking about the many favors Thomas gave him?
And when she heard that Simons and several men had assassinated the Duke of Haussburg, she thought of the conversation she had had with Thomas and felt even more strange.
Moreover, the last time she saw Simmons, Simmons asked her if she wanted to leave here with him and pick her up when he made a lot of money.
Simmons had joked with her like this many times. She thought it was the same drunken joke as before, but she didn't expect that that was the last time the two of them saw each other.
When she said this, Hetty looked a little sad and a little panicked. Obviously, she also knew that she might be involved in this terrible whirlpool.
And now, when Thomas was brought here for questioning, Hetty was even more frightened.
Looking at her, Lu Ming whispered: "I told you, I can send you and your daughter off tonight. If you want to settle in Houseville, there is a Peninsula Hotel in Houseville, and I can arrange a room service for you.
As deputy director or deputy director of the cleaning department, I feel that you are very careful and capable. You can get started quickly in this kind of work. As a deputy, you can also quickly gain experience." After a pause, "If you don't want to stay in Houseville,
, you can also go to Donghai, where my hotel is also located, and of course, other cities are also available. As for me, I suggest you leave Houseville, because you should also understand that this is a big case now, although you are not involved in it,
There is no need for you to testify in court, but after all, you have contributed to the Special Investigation Bureau, and there is no guarantee in the future... Therefore, I suggest that you leave and live a new life in another place. I will help you get your new identity."
After a pause, he said, "Actually, it is difficult to leave your hometown, but the world is huge outside and the scenery may be better. You should think about it carefully."
A female guard was translating quietly.
Hetty listened blankly, then smiled bitterly: "What do you mean by leaving home? This place is not my home at all. If I have the opportunity to leave here and forget everything here, it is a gift from God for me, Mr. Lu
, thank you, I am willing to go to other places, you can send me anywhere, as long as I don’t trouble you too much.”
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, then I understand."
Thomas suddenly shouted angrily over there: "What, you want to lock me up for forty-eight hours? What evidence do you have, what laws have I broken? I want to find a lawyer!"
"Whether or not a lawyer is present, we have the right to detain you for forty-eight hours. During this period, we will not interrogate you again, so there is no need to provide you with a lawyer!" Han Anni stood up as she spoke, "This tavern is temporarily under the control of the Special Investigation Bureau
Requisition, you stay here and think carefully about what you need to say to us!"
Lu Ming made a gesture to Hetty and the little girl Lida next to him, pointed to the back door, and whispered: "Let's go from here."
…
In the study room on the second floor of the small courtyard, opposite the bald detective Quixon sat. For the past two days, he had been scraping land and investigating everyone in the town who might have something to do with the three Simmons.
At this time, looking at Lu Ming, he smiled bitterly and said: "I don't believe it, Lao Lu, you can't find out anything? Didn't you figure out the identities of the three gunmen quietly?"
He came to inquire about the news, but after talking for a long time, he still couldn't find anything.
Lu Ming called him Lao Kui, and he followed suit and called Lu Ming Lao Lu.
Lu Ming spread his hands: "I just don't have any clues."
After the door was lightly knocked, Isabel rushed in with excitement on her face. When she saw Quixon, she immediately stood still, regained her grace and calmness, and said calmly: "You haven't left yet?"
Quixon is one of the few people in the Special Investigation Bureau who knows Isabel's true identity, because although he is not a high-ranking detective, he is a detective that the top management of the Special Investigation Bureau relies heavily on, and many things are not hidden from him. From his position and
The salary could not satisfy him, so he could only pay special attention to him and tell him secrets that only the highest level could know, and Quixon followed this trick.
Seeing this noble royal family in snow-white clothes and trousers, Quixon stood up and bowed, "Miss Isabel, I take my leave!"
He glanced at Lu Ming suspiciously again and said to himself that Lao Lu is Lao Lu. You tell me, Your Excellency Isabel clearly regarded him as one of his own. She knocked on the door and barged in. Moreover, she had the kind of poker face that she usually saw.
It's gone, that little excited look, she's obviously a beautiful girl in her bloom, now, it's picked up again.
Lu Ming thought for a while and said: "Lao Kui, let's do this. You stay. Although it is said that the fewer people who know, the better, but I believe you. Before you turn the dice, you can't tell anyone."
Quixon was immediately overjoyed, "Okay, okay!"
Lu Ming looked at Isabel, "Is there any good news?"
Seeing that Lu Ming allowed the agent to stay, Isabel stopped guarding Quixon and smiled proudly: "Yes, teacher,"
Quixon looked at this scene, rubbed his eyes hard, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Even if he is a real noble, he is actually still a young girl in his late teens, right? However, her cute appearance is ordinary.
Naturally, people can’t see it.
Isabel had already taken out a letter, "The fourth team intercepted it and came out after interrogation. The letter was sent to Housewell, to Rooney Hodelman, the owner of the hotel where you discussed business, but the person who sent the letter was
…He didn’t know the contents of the letter.”
Lu Ming nodded and took the letter. Seeing that the glue was still sealing the mouth, it was obvious that Isabel did not open it, but gave it to him so that he could read the contents of the letter immediately.
Although the content of the letter must be translated by her, she should also show it to herself to show her respect for herself.
Lu Ming smiled at Isabel: "It seems that you are the one who deserves the most credit. It was all your idea."
Isabel smiled coquettishly, "Thank you, teacher!"
The Hodelman family in the tannery is pressing harder and harder to create an atmosphere that they have been exposed and even have certain evidence.
In the previous life, it was just a way to scare off the grass and scare the snake.
Sure enough, the Hodelman family branch in this small town could no longer hold back and wanted to contact a higher level.
As for the phone calls, etc., Isabel's people were all listening in on the lines, and they were also keeping an eye on the activities of the Hodelman family members.
Sure enough, the messenger was intercepted now.
Lu Ming put on rubber gloves, soaked the envelope head with water, slowly opened the envelope, took out the paper from inside, and smiled.
It seems that the key information has been intercepted, but just trying to decrypt it is not that simple.
Isabel's curious pretty face came to Lu Ming's face and she gritted her teeth, "How cunning!"
On the piece of paper was a bunch of numbers, which was obviously a coded letter.
