It can be said that Andre was to blame for his own fault for being found out about selling orphans. Perhaps it was because of his uneasy conscience. Andre, a person who didn't drink much, became addicted to alcohol and used alcohol to numb himself, as if this way his conscience would not be guilty.
Feeling violated is like being condemned by God.
Drinking to cause trouble actually works for some people, like Andre, a man who was condemned by his conscience and started to drink alcohol. It can be said that since he started selling orphans, there seems to be a dark and evil spirit deep in his heart.
Big hands dragged him down to the abyss. This feeling tortured Andre every moment, but even so, he continued his sinful behavior. The temptation of money was extremely huge. Stepping into it,
No way to exit.
The anesthesia of alcohol and inner irritability made Andre accidentally reveal the news that he had made a lot of money while drinking in the bar. There were always a few "drunkards" chatting while drinking in the bar.
While I was there, I looked at what the people around me were talking about, maybe there was a topic that interested me.
Andre was getting drunk alone in the bar. He chatted with the bartender from time to time. In the process, he revealed that he had been feeling very uncomfortable recently and was extremely irritable, even though he had paid back the money he owed. A few words were accidentally heard sitting next to the bar.
An alcoholic heard this, and the other person obviously knew Andre, a debt master, and his words attracted the other person's attention.
Then the next thing is simple. The drunkard secretly paid attention to Andre's daily actions, discovered his daily strange actions, and suspected that he had something ulterior to tell, and this matter was obviously related to the fact that this guy had recently owed money.
The debt was related, which made the other party investigate carefully, and the results found also made the greedy desire deep in the other party's heart well up.
Andre soon received an inexplicable blackmail letter, which clearly pointed out that he was selling orphans. The other party asked him to put 100 pounds in a letter in the bathroom of a bar he frequented, or else they would report him.
At that time, if people were discovered to be involved in human trafficking, they would be punished with a cross. (To put it simply, the hands and feet of the victim were nailed to the cross with iron nails, and they were exposed to the sun until they died.) This kind of criminal law was specially used.
Yu warns the world not to commit crimes that are easy to "follow the trend".
Fear and uneasiness followed this letter. He didn't know what kind of person he was about to face, but he knew what price he would have to pay if the matter was revealed.
Andre informed the other party who bought and sold the orphans that he was threatened, and the other party happily said that they would be responsible for solving the problem.
A few days later, a male corpse was found in a private house in the town. The male corpse was lying on his desk, with various bottles of wine lying around. The stench of the corpse and the lingering smell in the house were
The smell of alcohol was mixed together, and the closing report given by the small town police was that he died from drunkenness.
However, Dean Charles had another autopsy report that Relf sent along with the above-mentioned information. It clearly showed that the man suffocated to death first, and then drank alcohol after death to create an illusion.
The matter didn't end like this, otherwise O'Hara wouldn't be involved.
The drunkard is dead! But no one thought that although the drunkard often drank until he was drunk and unconscious, he would be sober whenever anything related to money was involved. This guy was not only an alcoholic.
Still a money addict.
This habit prevented his death from just sinking into the sea, and the other party was there
Before blackmailing Andre, he told a friend of his everything about what he had discovered, and asked the other person to make everything he knew known to the public if he was caught or something happened to him.
When Ralph and his friends found the drunkard's friend, they said that the drunkard seemed to have a bad premonition before taking action. After much hesitation, the desire for money still defeated his reason, and he made an explanation to his friend.
.
The day after the drunkard's death, a news spread throughout the small town of St. Vis, and gradually spread to the surrounding areas. The content of the news was roughly that Andre, the deputy director of the St. Vis Orphanage, was selling orphans to make money.
In addition, two newspapers in St. Vitus City successively obtained photos and other related information. It can be said that in a short period of time, it caused an uproar as big as a magnitude 10 earthquake.
The two newspapers can be said to be "sitting at home, happy things will come from the sky". Nothing is more exciting for them than breaking news.
The deputy director of the orphanage is selling orphans. This news must be very hot. It can be said that the newspaper spread the news overwhelmingly and took out the most eye-catching section to report it. Unfortunately, the newspaper that day was not as popular as expected.
, neither newspaper expected that the other had received the news, and that there were people spreading the news outside.
Andre would not have thought that the "thunderbolt" flying from the clear sky would wake him up in the morning. He had not thought that many people would start looking for him while he was still sleeping.
Dean Henry got up to exercise in the morning as he did every day. This habit had been with him for more than ten years. But as soon as he started exercising in the morning, he was surprised by the phone ringing. It is important to know that few people call him at this time.
The phone call he received with a frown was just as he had expected before he answered it. It was indeed not good news. Deputy Dean Andre was selling orphans. This was shocking news. Dean Henry's first thought was
Impossible!
But then, the person on the other end of the phone told Dean Henry that if he had any doubts, the local early morning newspapers "Daily Morning News" and "Mirror" could confirm the authenticity of the news. This made Dean Henry's inner balance
He immediately tilted his head, hung up the phone, picked up the phone again and dialed. He called the newspaper delivery man and asked him to deliver it here first.
When Dean Henry called, Andre's buyer was looking for him through the creditor at the same time. The other party really didn't expect that after killing the drunkard, he thought he would settle the matter without anyone noticing, but he didn't.
Thinking that people were killed, an even bigger "storm" broke out.
The creditor also received the news in the early morning, but he didn't expect the buyer to know it so quickly. He had no choice but to contact Andre quickly. However, this guy who drank every day didn't even know which hotel he was in.
coma.
In addition to the two parties looking for the unconscious Andre, after receiving the news, the local police immediately investigated the authenticity of the incident and contacted the person involved, but could not find him either.
The incident unfolded very quickly. At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, except for the people who had not yet woken up, almost no one in the entire small town of St. Vis did not know about Andre's trafficking in orphans. Everyone in the small town was talking about a common story.
The name they have heard or not heard, and this name will obviously be unforgettable for most people from today on, Andre Baker.
Wine is a good thing! It makes people who want to sleep stay awake. The drunk bar is a small hotel, but its reputation is not small.
, one of the only hotels in the small town of St. Vis, its characteristic is that it is open 24 hours a day. Most hotels close at around 12 o'clock at night.
Ralph and his intelligence organization can be said to be "pervasive". They even investigated Andre in detail, including what time he checked in at night, what time he left in the morning, what breakfast he had, what clothes he wore, his physical condition at the time, and his facial expressions.
arrived, and the record was sent to Dean Charles.
Intelligence is meant to be the latest information in an activity. Know the latest information before others, and use it to create benefits for one's own interests and severely damage the resource information of hostile forces. Dissemination, collection, analysis, and processing are the basic basis of intelligence. Intelligence
Organizations exist both in the state and among the private sector, and Ralph and his intelligence organization fall into the latter category.
After the so-called breakfast, Andre, who didn't understand what happened, walked towards the orphanage on foot as usual. However, it seemed that he was destined not to step into the orphanage again. It was just one block away from the orphanage.
At that time, it was intercepted.
A black car that looked like a horse-drawn carriage stopped in front of Andre. Seeing the Ford T in front of him, Andre knew instantly who the owner of the car was. There was only one person driving it in the entire town and surrounding areas.
This car is Dean Henry.
The car door was pushed open, and a gloomy and silent face appeared in front of him. The civilized stick in his hand first poked the car, then pointed at Andre, gesturing for him to get in the car and follow him.
Looking at Dean Henry, who looked as calm as the night before a rainstorm, Andre instinctively felt a sense of uneasiness, and this feeling became stronger as he stepped into the carriage, especially the silent Dean Henry.
The boss put a lot of pressure on him.
The area of the small town of St. Vis is not large. The small houses of ordinary people occupy half of the city. Excluding public buildings and a few commercial areas, there is really little space left for the rich to build gorgeous and grand houses.
It's pitiful that only a few possess
The privileged rich built houses to live in the aristocratic area of the city, while more wealthy people chose to build houses in the west of the small town, in the original forest area. Of course, it has been basically bulldozed now, leaving only a few sparse houses.
A tree proves that they once existed.
The road was very bumpy. To be honest, no one wanted to help the government build the road without buying a house. This is why the short journey took Andre and the others less than half an hour.
Dean Henry's house was built when he came to the small town of St. Vis in the early days. He bought this large villa through a local friend. The villa covers an area of 500 square meters. In addition to the garden, the villa has three floors.
The area occupied is not large, and there is still a lot of open space left for reconstruction.
The car drove through the gate of the villa. After it stopped, Henry opened the door without saying a word and walked towards the lobby on the first floor of the villa. Andre followed closely, his mind full of questions. He didn't know what happened, but it was ominous.
The premonition is getting stronger and stronger.
"I am really grateful to the drunkard who was killed by you, otherwise God knows when this crime will be known to people." After Henry walked into the hall, he walked straight to the living room, suddenly turned around and stared at the people following him, feeling uneasy.
Andre said.
"Henry, what happened to you? I don't understand what you are talking about?" Andre vaguely guessed what Henry was referring to, but he still pretended not to understand anything until he confirmed it.
