Let You Simulate A Crime, Not Let You Commit A Perfect Crime

Waiting for the suspect to come over, Zheng Zhou and Zhang Kaiyuan were not idle.

They conducted a more detailed investigation of the scene in an attempt to find clues.

Zhang Kaiyuan said: "There are no traces of fighting at the scene, and the traces of blood splatters are coherent, which means that there was no one around him when he died, and the clues point to suicide."

Zheng Zhou said: "This great writer has an amazing career and wealth, his children and grandchildren are full of halls, he has just passed his 85th birthday, how can he commit suicide for no reason?" As for the blood spatter, the other party may be standing right behind Harlan, as long as the knife is fast enough, it may not be splashed, and it is easy to explain that there is no trace of fighting, what ability do you expect him to resist an eighty-five-year-old man?"

"And such a country villa, there is basically no one around, even if someone is unlikely to avoid the villa and others go straight to the attic to kill an old man, this is mostly done by acquaintances, huge property is easy to breed greed, acquaintances will also make Harlan defenseless, no traces of fighting is more normal."

Zhang Kaiyuan said: "In that case, most of the residents of the district are attending the banquet."

The audience in the live broadcast room couldn't help but talk.

"I also think that it should not be as simple as suicide."

"With money and children and grandchildren, how can it be possible to commit suicide for no reason."

"Probably because of profit, someone killed him."

After a while, everyone who had attended the birthday party gathered.

They first gave all the staff a luminol reaction test, but unfortunately, all the staff did not have a luminol reaction. Zheng Zhou and Zhang Kaiyuan began to ask separately.

Zheng Zhou's interrogation room 737 was arranged in the living room, and the first thing he asked was the eldest daughter of the deceased Harlan: "You are Harlan's eldest daughter Linda de Ledale, and her surname was Slumby before marriage."

Linda nodded: "Yes."

Zheng Zhou: "You just held Harlan's 85th birthday party, what was the atmosphere like?"

Linda: "Very good."

Zheng Zhou: "Did your husband Richard and son Lansen come together?"

Linda: "No, Richard came first to help set up the banquet, me and Ranson arrived later, and Ranson left not long after the banquet began."

Zheng Zhou: "You and your husband have a real estate company in Boston, right?"

Linda emphasized, "No, that's my company, I started it from scratch."

Zheng Zhou read the script, did not comment, and said: "That is to say, you are self-made like your father, do you have a good relationship with your father?"

Linda: "My father and I have a unique way of communicating privately, if you want to communicate with my father, you have to solve his puzzles, my father loves games, if you want to play with him, you have to follow his rules."

Zheng Zhou put it another way: "I am also self-made, I really admire your spirit of following in your father's footsteps and starting a business, you are too good, and your family is very good."

It's remarkable that Joni (the writer's daughter-in-law) founded the brand and Walter (the writer's youngest son) also runs a giant publishing group. ”

"This one." Linda paused for a moment and said, "Yes, Walter did a good job, but this is all left by his father, although it doesn't matter, every year his father gives him two books, he just helps his father publish, unlike us." ”

Zheng Zhou: "But Walter must be responsible for the promotion of novels, various film and television adaptations or something, right?"

Linda wanted to say something but held back, and said a little angrily: "Are you talking to me, do you know that he is not responsible, do you think that I will be so stupid, will be provocative, will casually reveal our family's business, will be speechless, and say bad things about my brother?"

Meanwhile, Zhang Kaiyuan is asking Linda's husband Richard.

It was also asked about Walter's responsibility for the adaptation of the novel.

Richard was a little speechless: "Walter is not responsible for shit, because there is no film and television adaptation right at all, Harlan never allows anyone to adapt his novel, he hates adaptation the most."

Zhang Kaiyuan: "It's not."

Richard: "Yes, Walter is crazy, selling rights is the most profitable, as long as Walter pours two more glasses of wine, he will definitely nag Harlan."

Zhang Kaiyuan: "Then he, did he also nag on the day of the party?"

Richard: "That goes without saying, he nagged the old man endlessly to sell copyrights, and finally Harlan also got angry, although I didn't hear it clearly, but Walter must have been scolded bloody, because after that, Walter was like a bereaved dog all night."

Zhang Kaiyuan suddenly talked about everything, cutting so much that people were defenseless: "You came early to help prepare the banquet, right?" Did you talk to Harlan or something?"

Richard was stunned for a moment: "Anyway, he was there, we must have spoken."

Zhang Kaiyuan: "Is it in his study?"

Richard shook his head: "Probably not."

Zhang Kaiyuan: "I asked the person who hosted the banquet, and she said that she didn't see you helping to prepare the banquet, but she heard Harlan arguing with someone, in the study."

Richard denied: "Did you have a big fight? No. Well......... Joni is there too, she's early, maybe she's her, you go ask her. ”

Zhang Kaiyuan: "She said that two men were arguing, and Ha (BCA) Lan also shouted 'confess to her, or I'll say it for you', does it sound familiar?"

Richard froze for a moment, then looked like he remembered: "Yes, I remembered, yes, Harlan finally made up his mind to send his mother to a nursing home, but Linda has always opposed this, I wanted to wait until I returned to Boston to tell Linda, so that she would make trouble here, but Harlan insisted that I tell her immediately, that's it." I'm sorry

I forgot. ”

On the other side, Zheng Zhou was already asking Walter (the writer's youngest son).

Zheng Zhou and Zhang Kaiyuan communicated through the headset at any time, and had learned from Richard that Walter and Harlan had a quarrel, so he asked Walter directly.

"What, what did Richard say?" Walter looked non-acknowledging, and said, "No, really, I didn't nag about copyright."

Zheng Zhou: "I just want to ask more clearly, in the middle of the party, Harlan took you out of the restaurant, and when you came back, you looked annoyed, what did Harlan say to you."

Walter was silent for a long time and said: "We chatted, it was about e-book publishing, really, there was nothing at all." To say who quarreled with my dad for half a sen is to have a big fight with Hardang. ”

Zheng Zhou: "Lanson is the son of Linda and Richard, and the eldest grandson of Harlan?"

Walter: "We all love Ranson, he's a good kid."

Zheng Zhou guided: "But..............."

Walter: "But he's the quintessential black sheep, I'm not.......... I don't want to say it, I usually don't want to talk about this kind of family affairs, but Ranson, he never had a serious job.

"But my dad, I don't know why, has always raised him, and the two of them love and hate each other and often quarrel, but today, they quarrel very badly."

Zheng Zhou: "What are they arguing about?"

Walter: "We didn't hear it clearly, it was fierce, and it was strange, they went to another room to argue, and usually they like to make a big noise in front of the whole family."

On the other side, Zhang Kaiyuan's inquiry object was replaced by Joni (the writer's daughter-in-law).

Zhang Kaiyuan had already learned from Richard that Johnny had also arrived early, so he asked directly, and Johnny was stunned for a moment: "Say I'm also here?"

Zhang Kaiyuan: "You arrived early, Richard said you arrived early."

And then Joni admitted, "I did go a little early."

Zhang Kaiyuan: "Is it to see Harlan?"

Joni nodded, "Yes, go see Harlan, that's right."

Zhang Kaiyuan: "What are you looking for Harlan?"

Joni: "Just a little question, about Meg's tuition."

Zhang Kaiyuan stared at Joni and asked, "As far as I know, your daughter Meg's tuition has always been from Harlan, what kind of little problem did I ask?"

Joni paused for a moment and said, "Well, there was a small problem with the tuition fee, and there was a mistake at the school office, so I went to Harlan and signed a check again, nothing major."

The more viewers in the live broadcast room, the more interesting they think this family is.

"Even I can see that they are hiding something."

"This family is really interesting, and they are breaking the news to others in order to open their minds."

"Now it seems that several of them have quarreled with the deceased Harlan, including the youngest son Walter, son-in-law Richard, daughter-in-law Joni, and eldest grandson Ranson."

"The youngest son, Walter, and daughter-in-law Joni, seem to be successful on the surface, but now they seem to be just gnawing old parasites, completely relying on Harlan. Not to mention the eldest grandson Lansen, there is no job. ”

"In this way, they are very suspicious."
