"What's wrong?" As soon as the call was connected, Carlos asked in fluent German. "Where are you now?" Wei Ran asked.
"I just passed by Pearl Harbor," Carlos said, and said "Stop" in English. Then, Wei Ran heard the sound of the car door being opened.
"We can talk now," lawyer Carlos said as he walked down the street to the bench in front.
"I have a few questions to ask."
Wei Ran paused and then continued to ask, "Mr. Carlos, when did you become Mr. Dominic's personal lawyer?"
"1990"
Carlos replied without thinking, "I had just celebrated my 30th birthday at that time. In the second month of my birthday, the law firm I worked for closed down, and I also ushered in the end of my life.
Unemployment for the first time in my life.”
In 1990... Mr. Dominic's uncle had passed away for at least five years... Wei Ran thought for a moment and followed the topic and asked, "Then Mr. Dominic hired you?"
"Indeed it is"
Carlos' tone was full of memories, "But at that time I was not his personal lawyer, but his driver. Later I accidentally discovered that there were serious legal loopholes in an investment contract he was about to sign."
"What happened next?" Wei Ran's question seemed to be more out of curiosity about the past.
"Later, Mr. Dominic avoided a large loss and I also lost my job as a driver."
Carlos paused deliberately before continuing, "But on the day I lost my job, I was sent to the Law Center of the University of Houston by Mr. Dominic to start a two-year further study. During this period,
I could still get a salary of two thousand dollars a month from Mr. Dominic, which was already more than the per capita wage in the United States at that time."
"Mr. Dominic is such a nice guy"
"yes"
Carlos said with emotion, "Everything I have now is inseparable from Mr. Dominic's help. In the summer of 1994, after I completed my training at the Law Center, I became Mr. Dominic's personal lawyer."
"So, you have been by Mr. Dominic's side since 1994?" Wei Ran asked following the topic.
"Of course not. I'm just his personal lawyer, not his personal butler."
Carlos smiled and replied, "In fact, after becoming Mr. Dominic's lawyer, I can only get a basic salary of one thousand dollars per month from him.
But in addition to this job, Mr. Dominic also helped me introduce a lot of business. Frankly speaking, from 1994 to 2000, I spent more time in the court than with my wife.
After I became somewhat famous, Mr. Dominic gradually let me take over his legal affairs, and I helped him form a team of lawyers."
"When is this?"
Wei Ran interrupted the other party's memories and asked, "I mean, when you started helping him form a legal team."
"2001" Lawyer Carlos replied without hesitation.
"Have you been with Mr. Dominic since then?" Wei Ran asked the same question again.
"of course not"
Carlos still tried his best to answer, "I am just his personal lawyer, not his personal butler. Most of the time, I need to go to the company to work."
"So Dominic's butler has always been with him?" Wei Ran asked.
"That's true," Carlos asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"This involves investigation content, I can't explain it to you."
Wei Ran, who successfully defeated the magic with magic, continued to ask without pause, "Mr. Carlos, do you know when Dominic's butler followed him?"
"In 2005," Carlos replied, "when he joined the company, I drafted the employment agreement."
"What about before that?" Wei Ran asked again
"Before that?"
Carlos thought for a while and said uncertainly, "Before that, Mr. Dominic didn't seem to have a housekeeper. Later, when he got older and started to need someone to take care of him, I suggested that he hire a housekeeper."
"Where's the personal doctor?"
"Private doctors are provided by a medical company, and they are not necessarily specific doctors." Carlos paused and added, "Mr. Dominic is one of the shareholders of this company."
"He...doesn't he have a lover?" Wei Ran asked again.
"Victor, is this really related to the investigation?" Carlos couldn't help but ask.
"Of course it's relevant," Wei Ran replied righteously.
"He does have some lovers, and I can only tell you that some of them are even female celebrities you may have heard of. But I'm sorry, I can't tell you who they are."
"It doesn't matter"
Wei Ran decisively changed the subject, "Last question, when did Mr. Dominic start looking for his family?"
"Actually, I only learned about this after I returned from visiting Mr. Chen Qi in China."
Carlos explained, "At that time, Mr. Dominic was preparing to write a will due to physical reasons. While communicating with him, I talked about the story of my father and Mr. Chen Qi. After listening to it, he said that if there was someone who could help find
His family will be fine."
"So you brought me here?"
"The process is not as easy as you think."
There was a trace of helplessness in Carlos's tone, "At the beginning, Mr. Dominic planned to leave all his property to black people with criminal records in the United States. Each of them had $2,500. This was enough to seduce a person.
Black people get criminal records in the simplest way.
It took me almost a month to persuade him to give up the idea, and then I brought you to Hawaii."
"Okay, I'm done with my questions."
Wei Ran didn't wait for the other party to speak, and continued, "Mr. Carlos, please make arrangements. I would like to borrow Mr. Dominic's private jet and rush to the Ruhr Industrial Zone in Germany as quickly as possible."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Are you going to Germany?" Carlos reacted for a while and then asked in surprise. "Of course."
Wei Ran replied matter-of-factly, "Mr. Carlos, you don't think I can find the descendants of Mr. Dominic's family just by sitting in the room and using my brain, right? Also, I need Mr. Dominic's full German name."
"
"Dominique Capet"
"Hoho! He is truly a nobleman."
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he didn't forget to whistle. Although there was no "Feng" in the name, the surname "Cape" in Europe was a serious aristocrat from the Frankish Zhenghuang Cavalry.
As for why the well-known "Feng" is no longer in this name, the reason is actually simple - it has declined.
Let’s take an example that everyone in China can understand. The eldest daughter of a certain Ouyang family in the Cultivation Continent must be named something like Ouyang Wanying or Ouyang Xinyao.
But the Ouyang family, a wealthy and powerful family, has been in decline for three to five hundred years and the inheritance has been cut off. Even if there is a daughter, I am afraid that she will just randomly choose a name like "Ou Osmanthus" or "Ou Xiaolan" to make do with it.
The truth is almost the same. The Capetian nobles who originated from the French Zhenghuang Banner were exiled to the Third Reich. This "Cappet" can only be regarded as a simple surname. The Feng which represents "from which family?"
(von), naturally cannot be used, and there is no need to use it at all.
"Mr. Dominic never thought he was a nobleman," Carlos explained in a dumbfounded voice. Of course he could hear the ridicule in Wei Ran's whistle.
"I didn't mean to mock Mr. Dominic."
Wei Ran explained seriously, "I mean, this is an important clue. Mr. Carlos, after you arrange the flight to Germany, please have someone pick me up as soon as possible."
"Okay, I will arrange it as soon as possible." Carlos agreed, dumbfounded, and then hung up.
The call was dialed again.
At the same time, Wei Ran also put away his cell phone, turned around and walked into Mr. Dominic's bedroom, pried open the safe again, took out the Sauer 38H pistol inside, and put it into the lunch box.
After clapping his hands and locking the safe, Wei Ran turned around and walked out of the room, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window to greet Suisui and others who were wandering around the plantation to come back.
"What's wrong?" Suisui ran back with her head up and looked at Wei Ran on the second floor and asked.
"You guys have a lot of fun here in the next few days. I'm going to Germany." Wei Ran said apologetically.
"Going to Germany? When will we leave?" Suisui asked subconsciously. "We will leave as soon as Carlos arranges the flight."
Wei Ran rubbed his hands as he spoke, "It's 2.7 million US dollars. If we don't find out something soon, I'm worried that Mr. Dominic won't be able to wait any longer.
"It's okay!" Suisui waved her hand carelessly, "Do you want us to go with you?"
"No, I guess I'll be back soon, and then we can have fun in Hawaii.
As Wei Ran spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at the dog running back from a distance with a wooden stick, "I'll just take it with me. This time I may go to the Hürtgen Forest for a walk, that is, Bailey
Yanan can help me.
"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Suisui happily agreed.
"One more thing"
Wei Ran pointed behind him, "I borrowed some things from here, so you have to live here until I come back. As long as you live here, that Mr. Dominic will not come back to live, otherwise he will let you live here."
He found out that I secretly took away his collection, so I'm afraid it wouldn't be good for the $2.7 million."
"Leave it to me!" Suisui immediately promised, patting her chest, "We will definitely live here these days!"
"Then I'll leave it to you."
As Wei Ran spoke, he glanced at Anfiya who was flipping through her phone without leaving any trace, secretly hoping that this girl would find the castle in the photo before he arrived in Germany.
After all, Mr. Dominic, who may die at any time, has made it clear that he wants to take some secrets to the grave. In this case, he can only make enough food and clothing by himself, and obtain as many clues as possible before entering the historical fragment.
