"Tony, listen to me and sell the painting! After all, what if it really catches fire?" Brian advised.
"Even if I want to sell it, do you think anyone in New Orleans would dare to buy it now?" Tangning replied with a wry smile.
Brian was speechless for a moment: "Well, that's true, but you can try to sell it to other places, such as entrusting it to an auction house in New York like Huss."
"Well, that's a good idea!" Tangning then asked curiously, "Huh? What will happen to you later?"
"No, no! Why do you ask that?" Brian asked with a somewhat unnatural expression.
"Because I found that you have been looking at the time!" Tangning replied, pointing to Brian's watch.
"Oh, you misunderstood, I just looked at my watch a few times!" Brian said perfunctorily.
After chatting for a while, Brian stood up and said, "Okay, I'm going home first!"
The next day, Tangning had just gotten up when suddenly Sheriff Klein walked in with someone and asked him with a serious face: "Tony, did Brian come to your house for a drink last night?"
Tangning nodded in confusion and replied, "Yes, what, what happened?"
But Sheriff Klein did not answer his question, but continued to ask: "What time did he leave?"
Tangning thought about it for a moment, and then replied: "Well, it should be around nine o'clock. I don't remember the details clearly because I didn't pay attention! In this way, you can ask Marlene, Heidi and the others later, maybe they
Will remember the time more accurately."
After asking Heidi, Marlene and other servants, Sheriff Klein found that Brian indeed left at a little after nine o'clock. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, Tony, Brian's wife Anna was at home last night."
Someone was murdered in the Kimmel apartment. When something like this happens, we naturally have to investigate the people around her first, especially since Brian was out last night."
Before Chief Klein could finish speaking, Heidi on the other side couldn't help but interrupt: "Wait a minute, Chief Klein, you said Anna was killed? Who killed her?"
"We are still investigating at the moment!" Chief Klein replied casually.
"But one thing I don't understand is why Anna was killed in the Kimmel apartment. Why would she go to a place like that when she was not at home at night?" Tangning interjected and asked.
The reason why Downing used "that kind of place" to describe the Canmore Apartment is because it is a well-known affair apartment in New Orleans and is famous for protecting the privacy of its clients.
The confidentiality method used by his family is that you put the envelope containing the rent into the crack of the door of the apartment office, and then the staff stuffs the key through the crack of the door, so that even the apartment does not know who rented the room to tonight.
Upon hearing Tangning's question, Chief Klein glanced at Heidi, and then replied with some embarrassment: "According to the situation at the scene, Anna should be going on a date."
Before Chief Klein could finish what he said, Heidi interrupted: "This is impossible, Anna is not that kind of person. If you want to say that my brother went there for a date, it's not bad!"
"But the scene was like this, because Anna was lying in the bathtub and died from a knife in the chest. Do you think that if she hadn't gone on a date, she would have soaked herself in a bathtub filled with rose petals?" Sheriff Klein retorted.
Heidi was speechless after hearing this answer, so Tangning helped change the subject and asked, "Did you find out who she was going on a date with that night?"
Sheriff Klein shook his head and replied: "This has not been investigated yet! But this person must be a major suspect!"
Sheriff Klein nodded and replied: "Well, it's basically been lifted. According to your confession and that of his maid, Brian should have returned home after leaving your house, so he has time of absence."
Heidi was immediately relieved when she heard that her brother was not suspected, but after Chief Klein left, she still frowned and said to Tangning: "Tony, I still feel that something is wrong with this matter, because based on my understanding of Anna,
She's definitely not the type of woman to go to an apartment in Canmore!"
"But the fact is that she showed up at the Kimmel Apartment and died in that way!" Tangning shrugged.
"Then I don't believe she would do such a thing!" Heidi insisted, but maybe she also knew that she couldn't tell, so she turned around and walked back to her study.
To Tangning's expectation, Brian came not long after, and said to her seriously: "Tony, I want to tell you something, but you have to promise to keep it a secret for me!"
"No problem, just say it!" Tang Ning replied casually.
Brian first carefully closed the door and windows, and even closed the curtains, and then walked closer and whispered: "It's like this, I met a guy named
Lauren’s beauty, she asked me on a date at Canmore Apartment 403 last night.”
Before Brian could finish speaking, Tangning interrupted: "Wait a minute, if I remember correctly, Anna was killed in Kimmel Apartment 403, right? Could it be that you and that Lauren gave Anna away?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? If I really hurt Anna, would I come and tell you?" Brian said angrily.
Tangning thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "Well, that's true. So what time did you go?"
"I went there after leaving your house, because she made an appointment with me at half past nine!" Brian explained.
"No, if that's the case, then why do the police think that you didn't have the time to commit the crime? The time here must be accurate, which means your maid." Tangning analyzed it, then stared at Brian and asked
.
Brian nodded and replied: "Yes, Marissa lied for me. In fact, I didn't get home until nearly ten o'clock!"
"But why would she lie for you? Could it be you and her?" Tangning had a hunch.
As expected, Brian replied with some embarrassment: "Well, actually, she is also my woman, so she will naturally lie for me!"
Then he warned: "But you can't tell others about this, otherwise the police will doubt Marissa's testimony!"
Tangning promised: "Don't worry, I know. Now let's talk about the important point. Was Anna still alive when you arrived at Canmore Apartment 403?"
"You may not believe it, but actually I didn't see Anna at all in the Kimmel apartment. Instead, Lauren died in the bathtub."
PS: I feel that Baibai has been a little bit confused recently. In fact, there is no need to pursue three updates a day. Quality is the most important thing. In addition, I have been a little less cautious recently. Some words should be a little more subtle to avoid reading "Rebirth: I Want to Surf".
