Let you simulate crime, did not make you commit a perfect crime

Chapter 0137: The Family Is Gnawing Old Parasites!!

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 pointed to suicide.” ”

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

“And such a country house, there is basically no one around, even if someone is unlikely to avoid the villa, 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: “Then most of the murderers are among the people attending the banquet. ”

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

“I also think it shouldn’t be as simple as suicide.”

“If you are rich and full of children and grandchildren, how can you commit suicide for no reason.”

“Most of the time 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 employees did not have a luminol reaction.

Zheng Zhou and Zhang Kaiyuan began to ask separately.

Zheng Zhou’s questioning room 050 was arranged in the living room, and the first thing he asked was the eldest daughter of the deceased Harlan: “You are Hallan’s eldest daughter, Linda Derley, and your surname was Slumby before marriage. ”

Linda nodded: “Yes.” ”

Zheng Zhou: “You just held Harlan’s 85th birthday banquet, what was the atmosphere like?” ”

Linda: “Very good. ”

Zheng Zhou: “Did your husband Richard and son Ranson come together?” ”

Linda: “No, Richard came first to help set up the banquet, Ranson and I 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, was noncommittal, and said: “That means that you are as self-made as 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 differently: “I am also self-made, I really admire it, you follow in your father’s footsteps and entrepreneurial spirit, you are too good, and your family is excellent, Joni (writer’s daughter-in-law) founded the brand, Walter (the writer’s youngest son) also runs a giant publishing group, which is really amazing.” ”

“Well.”

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, and we are different.” ”

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 and held back, and said a little angrily: “Are you telling 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 unobtrusive, and say bad things about my brother?” ”

Meanwhile, Zhang Kaiyuan is questioning Linda’s husband Richard.

He was also asked about Walter’s responsibility for the adaptation of the novel.

Richard was a little speechless: “Walter shit is not responsible, because there is no film and television adaptation rights at all, Harlan never allows anyone to adapt his novels, and he hates adaptations the most.” ”

Zhang Kaiyuan: “No. ”

Richard: “Yes, Walter is going crazy, selling copyrights 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: “Then it goes without saying that he endlessly nagged the old man to sell the copyright, and finally Harlan got angry, although I didn’t hear clearly, but Walter must have been scolded to the point of blood, because after that, Walter was like a bereaved dog all night.” ”

Zhang Kaiyuan suddenly talked about everything, cutting people defenselessly: “You came early to help prepare for the banquet, right?” Did you chat with 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, and she was in the study.” ”

Richard denied: “Did you have a big fight? No. Well…… Joni is there, she’s early, maybe it’s her, you go ask her. ”

Zhang Kaiyuan: “She said that two men were arguing, and Harlan also shouted ‘confess to her, otherwise I will say it for you’, does it sound familiar?” ”

Richard froze for a moment, and 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 been against doing 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 right away, that’s it.” Sorry, I forgot. ”

On the other side, Zheng Zhou is already asking Walter (the writer’s youngest son)

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

“What, what did Richard say?”

Walter looked unacknowledging and said, “No, really, I don’t nag copyright.” ”

Zheng Zhou: “I just want to ask more clearly, in the middle of the party, Harlan took you out of the restaurant, and after you came back, you looked annoyed, what Harlan said to you.” ”

Walter was silent for a long time and said: “We talked, it was about e-book publishing, really, there was nothing at all. If it comes to who quarrels with my dad, Ranson has a fight with Harlan. ”

Zheng Zhou: “Ranson is the son of Linda and Richard, and Harlan’s eldest grandson? ”

Walter: “We all like Ranson, he’s a good boy. ”

Zheng Zhou guided and said, “But…”

Walter: “But he’s the typical black sheep, I’m not… I don’t want to talk about it, I don’t usually want to talk about this kind of family matter, but Ranson, he has never had a serious job. ”

“But my father, I don’t know why, has been raising him, the two of them love and hate each other, often quarrel, but today, they quarrel very much.”

Zheng Zhou: “What are they arguing about?” ”

Walter: “We didn’t hear clearly, it was very loud and strange, they went to another room to argue, usually they like to argue in front of the whole family. ”

On the other side, Zhang Kaiyuan’s object of inquiry was changed to Joni (the writer’s daughter-in-law)

Zhang Kaiyuan had learned from Richard that Joni had also arrived early, so he asked directly, and Joni was stunned for a moment: “Say I’m also there?” ”

Zhang Kaiyuan: “You arrived early, Richard said you arrived early.” 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 small 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 paid by Harlan, what kind of little problem did you ask?” ”

Joni paused for a moment and said, “It’s just, there was a small problem with the tuition transfer, and something went wrong in the school office, so I went to Harlan and signed a check again, it’s not a big deal.” ”

The more the audience watched the live broadcast room, the more interesting they felt that this family was.

“Even I can see that they are hiding something.”

“This family is really interesting, and they are breaking news about others in order to exonerate.”

“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, relying entirely on Harlan. The eldest grandson Ranson, not to mention, has no job. ”

“In this way, they are very suspicious.”
