The two got into the police car, Xiao Hei put his hands on the steering wheel, "Where are we going now?"

Luke took out his mobile phone and said, "I'll call Andersi first and ask about the situation."

Jackson asked, "Why not just apply for mobile phone positioning?"

Xiao Hei smiled and said, "Rookie, unless it's an emergency, you can't apply for mobile phone positioning just because you want to."

Judging from Luke's experience, he felt that it was unlikely that Andersi would abscond, which was why he decided to call. Then, he dialed Andersi's mobile phone number.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Andesi's voice rang, "Hey, Deputy Luke, are the identification results out?"

"Yes, do you have time to come to the police station?"

After a pause, he said, "I will, but it will be later."

Luke probed, "Where are you now? Are you at home?"

"No, I have something to take care of. I'll be there later."

"What's going on? Do you need help?"

"No need. I'll arrive at the police station soon after I finish handling it."

"Are your children home?"

"No."

"Where are they?"

"In the car, uh... I'm going to send them to my sister's house to stay temporarily."

"Hey, remember what I said yesterday? We are going to take notes on your children. They are also your wife's relatives and have been living with your wife. They may be able to provide some valuable clues."

On the other end of the phone, after a moment of silence, Andersi seemed to get out of the car and said, "Deputy Luke, is the person who was burned to death my wife?"

"Yes."

There was a faint sound of sobbing on the phone, "I knew it, I knew it... Listen, I've already talked to the children, and they don't know why my wife disappeared.

I don’t think they can provide any valuable clues.”

"What do you mean?"

"I don't want... to let them face this too much, they are too young... simply can't bear it.

Do you understand how it feels to be a father?

They have lost their mother, and I must fulfill my responsibility as a father and protect them better."

"Is that why you took them out of the house so early in the morning?"

"Yes. They are still children, and Nancy's leaving has already hurt them.

The police questioning is like rubbing salt into their wounds. They are too young and should not bear all this.

I just want to protect them."

Luke was silent, and he could hear the man's sadness and helplessness from the phone call.

If he didn't lie, his behavior was indeed a kind of love for his children, at least, that's what he thought.

But as a police officer, Luke thought more.

Suppose there is another hidden reason for Nancy's death, and Andersi is also involved to some extent.

Then he took the children away not only to protect the children from harm, but also because he was afraid that the children would provide some clues that would be detrimental to him.

Considering the second possibility, it is still necessary to take notes for the children. Even if it is cruel, it is better than regretting it later.

If Luke were to be a good guy now, he would not write notes for the children in order to avoid them getting hurt.

Years later, when these children grow up and have their own discernment skills, they think about the previous case and feel that there is something fishy in their mother's death, and may in turn sue Luke for his inaction.

He has been a policeman for many years and has seen too many cases of repaying evil with evil.

His rule is that he will not help others easily if he has no ability.

If you have the ability, don’t expect anything in return for your hard work.

If you are not capable enough and you still want to help others in order to gain their gratitude, you will often not get good results.

"Andesi, there are some things that cannot be avoided. Your wife is dead, and the police need to find out the cause of her death.

As co-residents of your children, we need to take notes and ask them some questions.

I can also understand your feelings as a father, and we should also pay attention to the way we talk to our children.

They have to face this matter. Although your children are not very old, they already have independent cognition. Helping them face reality earlier and letting them know Nancy's true situation may not necessarily be a bad thing."

After a long time, Andersi seemed to know that he could not escape, and sighed, "I know.

I will take the children to the police station with me."

Luke was worried that he was deliberately delaying and playing tricks, "At 10:30 in the morning, if I don't see you and the children at the police station, we will apply for a wanted warrant for you."

Andersi said in a dissatisfied tone, "Why, why do you..."

Luke hung up the phone and said to Xiao Hei, "Go back to the police station."

In fact, it is not difficult to find Andersi, but it will take some time and use some methods.

The problem now is Andersi's situation, and there is no need to take those measures yet.

This is precisely the problem. If Andesi keeps dragging it out, it may take a long time, or even something unexpected happens, and the police may not be able to record the child's record in a short time.

Simply, Luke set a time point. Before half past ten, Andersi took the children to the police station and took notes as usual.

If the other party does not arrive, use unconventional means to investigate.

…

Detective Bureau.

Ten twenty.

Adersi walked into the Robbery and Murder Department office with a solemn expression, with three children following him.

The eldest daughter looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, has short hair, wears glasses, and is carrying a black schoolbag.

The son looked about twelve or thirteen years old, with curly hair, a little thin, curious, and looking around with some fear.

The little girl, who was only about five or six years old, kept hugging Andersi's legs, her expression full of uneasiness.

Luke stood up, looked at the four of them, and said, "Mr. Cole, please come in."

Luke's eyes fell on the three children. To be honest, it was not easy to take notes on the children in such a case.

The little girl asked Luke, "Mr. Police, has my mother been found?"

Luke was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

"Do you like watching cartoons?"

The little girl nodded.

"Go find that white-haired grandpa, he will show you your favorite TV shows."

Deputy Vincent waved, "Come on, kid, I bought you some delicious candies."

Xiao Hei shook his head. He felt that the voice of the deputy team was like the big bad wolf.

Luke said, "Mr. Cole, my colleague will take care of your children. Let's go to the lounge and talk."

Andersi Cole nodded and said to his eldest daughter, "Lisa, take good care of your brother and sister."

"I know." The eldest daughter responded.

Later, Luke took Andesi into the lounge.

Andersi entered the lounge with red eyes and a choked voice, "Who killed my wife?"

"We are still investigating."

"The thing I was most afraid of happened. I always hoped for a miracle. I still don't know how to tell the children."

"I can understand, and we will do our best to catch the murderer of your wife."

"You said my wife was burned to death? Was she in pain before she died?"

"To be precise, she died of suffocation from inhaling a large amount of smoke."

Tears flowed from Andersi's eyes, "What could be so cruel? Why do you do this?"

Luke handed the other party a few tissues and said, "Recall again, is there anything unusual about your wife during the recent period, such as financial issues?"

"No, I've told you before."

"We found out that your wife seems to have purchased a huge personal accident insurance policy in her name. Do you know about this?"

"Yes, I probably bought it last year."

"As far as I know, your family's conditions are not very generous. Why do you want to buy this insurance? Whose suggestion was it?"

"A friend of mine is in the insurance industry. One time we had a party, and I drank a lot of wine, so I agreed to buy insurance for him, and then I bought the insurance in a daze.

Nancy even blamed me for this and thought I was spending money indiscriminately.

Any questions?"

“Who is the beneficiary of the policy?”

Andersi reacted, "Are you doubting me? Damn it, you actually suspected that I killed my wife. That's why you called me to the police station." Andersi looked a little excited.

"We are not suspicious of you, but of all the people involved in the case, and we are investigating all those who have suspicions and motives.

Mr. Cole, you are an adult too.
