Chapter 84 Opportunities(1/2)
Robinson Apartments.
Hans has just made dinner, a piece of pasta, a fried fish steak, and a glass of red wine.
"Ding dong..."
A doorbell rang.
Hans took off his apron and threw it on the table.
He walked to the door, clicked on the video call, and saw a woman standing at the door, it was female police officer Jenny.
Hans frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the door, "Officer Jenny, what do you want?"
After the door opened, more police appeared on both sides of the wall.
Jenny showed the search warrant, "Mr. Hans, we want to search this apartment according to law. This is the search warrant."
"Why? Why were you searching my apartment?"
Jenny explained, "As far as we know, this apartment belongs to Mrs. Anna, and she wanted to live in this apartment when she left 'Telson Manor'. We suspect that the case back then has something to do with this apartment."
We are now conducting a routine search, please cooperate."
Hans said, "Wait a minute, it's been twenty years. It's impossible to find any clues here."
Jenny said, "Mr. Hans, haven't you always wanted to find that precious oil painting? We suspect that Mrs. Anna has hidden the oil painting in this apartment, probably in a corner that is not easily noticed."
Hans' expression changed slightly, "It's impossible. I've cleaned the whole room. If there is that painting, there's no way I wouldn't have seen it."
Jenny spoke forcefully and took out the search warrant again, "This is the search warrant. Please cooperate."
Then, police officers from both sides swarmed in, and Hans could not stop him even if he wanted to.
When Hans saw Luke who had just walked in, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, "Officer Luke, why are you searching my residence? You don't suspect that I have hidden the oil painting."
The painting itself belongs to me and I have no reason to do this.
What's more, you know me well, I'm not that kind of person."
Luke nodded, "Mr. Hans, I believe in your character.
Don't worry, as long as they can't find anything, they can naturally prove your innocence.
When the time comes, I will report to the captain and hold them accountable."
After hearing this, Xiao Hei grinned at the side, "I have made you do both bad and good things. You are such an insidious guy."
Hans opened his mouth but said nothing more, as if he already knew that nothing could be done.
Sitting on the sofa in a daze.
After about a few minutes, Raymond shouted, "Hey, there was something under the bed in the bedroom."
Luke walked over to check. Raymond was holding a cardboard box that was 60 centimeters long and 40 centimeters wide. When he opened it, there was a white paper bag made of special material. Inside the bag was an oil painting.
In the dark night, white snowflakes fell all over the ground.
It was the lost oil painting - Snowy Night.
Luke pointed at the oil painting and asked, "Hans, don't tell me that you haven't discovered this oil painting for twenty years?"
Hans covered his face and cried, "Sorry, I didn't mean to lie, but I really have no choice.
Back then, my business failed. I wanted Anna to help me and get me some funds, but she refused.
After she disappeared with her children, my business plummeted.
I urgently needed a sum of money to invest in the company, and I thought of that oil painting.
I thought about selling the oil painting, but the oil painting has been passed down for three generations, and I don't want the oil painting to be sold from my hands.
I don't want to disgrace the ancestors of the Miller family.
So, I thought of defrauding the insurance company and falsely claiming that the painting was stolen.
I invested the money from insurance fraud into the company, thinking that I could settle the matter after making money.
But the company is in a sunset industry, just like Nokia, which was at its peak back then. When you are abandoned by the times, no matter how much money you invest, it is like drinking poison to quench your thirst.
I have been feeling guilty for so many years, and this is the only wrong thing I have ever done..."
Luke asked, "Where was this painting hidden before?"
"Telson Manor, when I saw you and Officer David at the manor, I was afraid that you would find the oil painting. After you left the manor, I sneaked into the manor again and took away the oil painting." Hans sighed,
"It's been so many years, how do you know that the oil painting is in my hands?"
Luke replied, "After all possibilities have been eliminated, what remains is the truth."
Hans said helplessly, "I was about to get to know my daughter, but I set a bad example. Sorry, I didn't mean to deceive you..."
David came over with handcuffs in hand, "We are arresting you now for insurance fraud.
You have the right to remain silent and everything you say to any police officer..."
Hans confessed.
Cindy Botto also reached a plea agreement and admitted that she encouraged Tony to kill Shuatt.
In exchange, the police will charge her with second-degree murder.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully solving the 'Telson Manor Disappearance Case' and being rewarded with thirty lottery opportunities.] The system voice sounded in Luke's head again.
The options menu appears in my mind, and the warehouse interface is on the left.
There is an additional lottery interface on the right side.
This time, I received thirty lottery opportunities, which is the most lottery opportunity I have ever received. It is the most difficult case to indirectly prove.
After all, this is an unsolved case from twenty years ago. In addition to ability, luck is more important.
lottery!
The pointer moves.
Random stop, the selected area lights up, one thousand dollars.
Continue to draw...
I drew 30 times in a row and got 27,000 US dollars and three cards.
Two old cards, one adventure card and one precision card
A new card.
Identification card [Active card, specific function unknown.]
The system warehouse currently has a reserve of 71,000 US dollars and 8 cards.
Adventure cards, 3 pieces.
Precision cards, 2 pieces.
Bullet avoidance card, 1 piece.
Detection card, 1 piece.
Identification card, 1 piece.
Luke only had a little over a thousand dollars on hand, of which he had borrowed one thousand dollars.
He urgently needs to cash in the 71,000 yuan reserve fund.
Luke called Borrett again and asked him if he still wanted the warehouse to be auctioned.
This guy was so scared that he didn't dare to speak for a long time.
Something happens every time Luke comes to the warehouse.
He was really scared.
Finally, after Luke's persuasion, I learned that there would be an auction two days later.
…
In the next two days, the case will begin to be closed.
Twenty years have passed since the case, and many files and evidence need to be reorganized and collected, which is very troublesome to deal with.
Luke hates getting these files and will fish with Marcus whenever he gets the chance.
Drink a cup of coffee, go to the toilet, chat for a while, and the whole morning is over.
If your butt hurts from sitting, you can go to the gym to exercise.
In the afternoon, I processed a few documents and it was almost time to get off work.
At around six o'clock, Luke packed his things on time and prepared to get off work.
No one will talk about him this time.
If you can solve a case without working overtime, if you use overtime as a reason, people should say that you are getting paid for overtime.
At this time, Susan just came back from outside the office, "Luke, come to my office."
