Chapter 179: The Death of Jonathan

"Catherine, what's wrong with you?" Tangning asked curiously, looking at Catherine who looked sad.

Catherine handed over a telegram and replied with a choked voice: "Jonathan, he's dead!"

"What?! Jonathan is dead?" Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed.

After opening the telegram, it turned out that Jonathan had committed suicide, so Catherine's family was notified to claim it. When Tangning saw this, she exclaimed again: "Suicide? How is this possible?!"

"I don't think it's possible, but since the police telegram has been sent, I have to go anyway. Tony, can you go with me?" Catherine pleaded in front of Heidi.

Tangning glanced at Heidi and agreed without hesitation: "Of course, even if you don't want me to accompany you, I still have to go and see what's going on!"

"Thank you Tony, then I will send someone to buy tickets!" Catherine thanked.

After Catherine left, Heidi sighed: "Tony, what are you talking about recently? Why are people around us dying one after another?"

Tangning thought for a moment, then sighed and said, "Maybe it's because we are all old!"

"Humph, you are the one who is old, I am not old!" Heidi said coquettishly.

"Yes, yes, yes, I am old!" Tang Ning said casually.

Seeing that Tangning didn't want to argue, Heidi changed the subject and warned, "Tony, you must be careful when you go to New York this time. I always feel that something is very wrong about this!"

"Don't worry, I'll be careful!" Tang Ning nodded in agreement.

In the train compartment heading to New York, Catherine nestled in Tangning's arms and sighed: "Hey, I was originally thinking about how to tell Jonathan about the divorce when he came back, but I didn't expect him to do it now..."

Tangning originally wanted to make a joke, but after seeing Catherine's current state, she changed her tune and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect Jonathan to leave, and he sent me away by himself!"

"Tony, do you believe Jonathan committed suicide?" Catherine asked again.

Tangning replied without hesitation: "I absolutely don't believe it, so there must be something wrong with this matter!"

When the two arrived at the New York Police Department, the police officer who received them only gave them a few of Jonathan's belongings. As for the body, it was difficult to preserve it because it was summer, so it was buried after an inquest.

Although she was very dissatisfied with the police's handling of the situation, this was not New Orleans after all, and the police across the street was not the familiar Chief Klein. Especially in the context of the confrontation between the north and the south, Tangning had nothing to do.

However, he did not stop there. Instead, he took Catherine to find Morgan. After comforting Catherine, he changed the topic and said: "Katherine, Tony, I know you must have suspicions about Jonathan, but listen,

My, after you handle this matter, leave New York and return to New Orleans!"

"Why? Is there any danger here?" Tangning asked in confusion.

Morgan nodded vigorously and replied: "Yes, and it is still very dangerous. Although I don't know the specific circumstances of this matter, what is certain is that Jonathan has been involved in the vortex of several big shots.

Get involved and leave immediately!"

After hearing what Morgan said, Tangning was a little shocked, because what kind of identity could Morgan call a big shot? So she asked in a deep voice, "Then I have only one question! Did Jonathan commit suicide or was he murdered?"

Morgan hesitated for a moment, then replied: "As far as I know, it was indeed suicide, but it was forced suicide, because he had no choice but to commit suicide!"

After hearing this answer, Tangning couldn't help but gasp, and Catherine even asked with tears in her eyes: "Why do you have to force Jonathan to commit suicide?"

"I'm not particularly clear about this matter, but I advise you not to think about investigating. Even if you want to investigate, you can't do it recently, otherwise it will be very dangerous, and even I won't be able to protect you by then!" Morgan advised sternly.

road.

After coming out of Morgan's house, Catherine asked Tangning, "Tony, what should we do now?"

Tangning thought for a moment and then replied: "I think it's better to listen to Morgan. I believe he won't lie to us! But don't worry, I will investigate this matter sooner or later!"

"Okay, then I'll listen to you!" Catherine nodded and agreed.

Just when the two of them returned to the hotel to pack their things, there was a sudden knock on the door. When you opened the door, you saw that it was Bai Min, so you asked in surprise: "How did you know I was here?"

"If I said I figured it out, would you believe it?" Bai Min asked slyly.

Tangning shook her head without hesitation and replied, "I don't believe it!"

"Okay, I won't joke with you. I know why you came, but you'd better leave quickly, otherwise you will get into trouble!" Bai Min advised sternly.

Tangning didn't expect that even Bai Min knew about this, so she asked even more curiously, "Can you tell me what kind of trouble it is?"

Bai Min shook his head and replied: "I don't know very well, but the farther away this kind of trouble is, the better, otherwise you might be committed suicide like that Jonathan!"

Seeing that Bai Min was not sure, Tangning stopped asking, so she changed the subject and asked, "Let me ask you something else, do you know Zena?"

"Zena? Zena-Bern?" Bai Min asked.

Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, that's him. It seems you really know him!"

Unexpectedly, Bai Min asked, "Do you know him too?"

"Of course, he was working for me before he went to China. What is your relationship with him? Can you let him chase you from China to the United States?" Tang Ning asked curiously.

"What?! He went back to the United States?" Bai Min couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Why are you so afraid of seeing him?" Tangning asked with a frown.

"We'll talk about this later. First tell me, where is he now?" Bai Min urged.

Tangning shook her head and replied, "I don't know that either. He came to New Orleans to look for me more than a month ago. I don't know where he went after that!"

"He didn't say where he was going? Normally he doesn't have to keep it a secret from you!" Bai Min asked.

"At that time, he said that he was coming to New York to find his cousin Maxim. But I met Maxim a few days ago. He said that Zena didn't go to him at all, and didn't even follow the letter. So where is Zena now?

I really don’t know!”

PS: Recommend the book "Becoming an Occultist from Playing Sherlock Holmes". The idea of ​​this book is really good, but the writing style is really not up to par. Also, why are the titles of Qidian's books getting longer and longer now? I originally thought that the title of my book was

It's long enough. I didn't expect this book to be as long as fifteen words.
