The Daily Life of American Drama Detective

Chapter 285 When Detective Chuck saw me, not only did he not surrender directly, but he actually dared to run away?

Villa Cross.

Chuck received a call from Monica and rushed to the hospital first. Then he arrived here. After getting off the car, he looked up and saw Beth Harmon standing at the door.

"Where's Linda?"

Chuck came over.

"She's not in good spirits. She needs to go back upstairs to rest."

Beth Harmon looked into his eyes.

"everything is fine?"

Chuck looked her in the eyes too.

"Mr Cross passed away."

Beth Harmon said calmly.

"Heart attack."

Chuck said calmly: "Just like his ex-wife."

"His ex-wife?"

Beth Harmon was stunned.

"Yes."

Chuck said: "His ex-wife died of a sudden heart attack, and before that, he also bought her a large life insurance policy.

The last time Linda came to ask for help, she was afraid of the high IQ of the chess grandmaster, so she asked me to help her.

I've investigated him.

So I have some doubts about it.

However, considering his intelligence, he would not use the same method to kill his wife again to defraud high insurance.

Because even ordinary police detectives can think of the problems here.

Even if he is a celebrity, this connection is enough to go to the judge to apply for a permit to open the coffin and investigate the cause of his ex-wife's death.

But he is dead now.

It seems I overestimated him.

So now I am 80% sure that his ex-wife was also poisoned to death by him.

It gave the illusion of a sudden heart attack."

Last time, because of Linda's special request, he only intimidated Patrick Cross. Before he went to the step of investigating his ex-wife, the other party was already on his knees.

So Chuck didn't continue.

Beth Harmon asked: "Is it possible to fake a heart attack?"

"sure."

Chuck reached out and motioned Beth Harmon to look toward the garden: "Do you know that one?"

Beth Harmon shook her head.

She concentrated on studying chess and paid very little attention to other things.

"That's oleander."

Chuck explained: "It looks beautiful, but it is highly poisonous. If its sap is dehydrated and ground into powder, 0.25 grams is enough to kill an adult.

The cause of death was like a sudden heart attack, and he and his ex-wife also had this kind of oleander at home."

Beth Harmon is silent.

She thought of Esther. During their rare interactions, she had often seen Esther enjoying playing with the oleander in the garden.

"Is it Linda?"

Chuck asked suddenly.

"no."

Beth Harmon immediately shook her head.

"hope so."

Chuck looked at her: "I know you like her because she can give you a stable environment to play chess and give you enough freedom.

But her drinking habit will affect you sooner or later.

Although you are smart, you are still too young to feel this deeply.

Once you choose to try it, you may feel good at first, and you may even feel that it can help you play chess.

But I want to tell you.

Alcohol, like other drugs, will damage your nerves, which will eventually destroy you completely.

So if you want to truly become a chess champion, the only way is to stay away from alcohol, drugs and other foreign substances and truly explore your own potential."

"I got it."

Beth Harmon looked at him: "I will not be affected by Linda's bad habits, and Mr. Cross was not poisoned to death by Linda.

She has been with me all the time, and you also said that this is only possible, and it is also possible that Mr. Cross did die of a sudden heart attack."

"As long as Linda agrees to the autopsy."

Chuck said: "It doesn't matter if she doesn't agree, as long as I speak, the judge will still issue a consent order.

Whether it is oleander toxins or other toxins, they can be detected with just one inspection.

I hope she takes the initiative to agree to the autopsy."

"Why?"

Beth Harmon was puzzled: "You had a conflict with him, and now he is dead. Does it matter how he died?"

"It's not important to me."

Chuck nodded and looked at her: "But it is important to you, because Linda, who is alcoholic, may hinder your growth but not enough to be a major threat.

But if the alcoholic Linda breaks through the bottom line, her mentality will change drastically.

A person who was weak in the past can be bullied into a dangerous person.

If you stay with her like this and your life is still controlled by her, sooner or later you will be in danger of being forced to do something."

"Why are you so nice to me?"

After Beth Harmon asked this question, she felt she already had the answer: "It's because of Peggy, right?"

"You can be friends."

Chuck raised his decorative glasses: "A well-matched opponent is a blessing in life."

"My opponent is you!"

Beth Harmon's eyes suddenly became stubborn.

"No, not me."

Chuck shook his head.

"You think I'm not worthy?"

Beth Harmon looked at Chuck stubbornly: "You think I can't beat Peggy?"

"Then you have to prove it yourself."

Chuck looked at her: "Whenever you win the world championship and defeat Peggy three times in a row, I will fight you then."

"good!"

Beth Harmon agreed immediately, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

Outside the villa.

The three of Esther drove away. She was sitting in the back seat, fiddling with an earphone. Seeing Linda looking at her frequently, she smiled and put another earphone into Linda's ear.

What came out of it was the conversation between Chuck and Beth.

"ah!"

Linda exclaimed and looked at Esther in fear: "He really saw it, what should we do now?"

"You heard it too."

Esther smiled and said: "Even Detective Chuck suspected you for the first time, let alone other police officers. Because Patrick is dead, you are the biggest beneficiary, aren't you?"

"But I didn't kill..."

Linda said weakly.

"Can you prove it?"

Esther smiled evilly: "No, you can't! Now you just hope that this amazing detective Chuck will die soon, so that everything will be over.

No one will keep chasing this, your husband just has a heart attack, but you can inherit everything and live happily with us."

"how do you want to do it?"

Linda's eyes struggled.

"Are you sure you can let go of your precious daughter Beth Harmon?"

Esther looked at her.

"What does this have to do with Beth?"

Linda was startled and subconsciously looked at David who was driving: "Detective Chuck is not that kind of person!"

"Not what kind of person?"

David sneered: "As long as you are good-looking, age is not a problem, it is also a treasure! As long as you are a man, you can't refuse this temptation."

"yes."

Esther smiled and said: "Actually, at the beginning, I thought about letting Beth seduce this amazing detective Chuck and take some wonderful videos, so that everyone would be on their own and there would be no need for any accidents.

I don't think there's any problem either.

After all, I also secretly investigated him.

I found that he really likes to play with children.

This itself illustrates some problems.

But now it’s no longer necessary.”

"Why?"

Linda asked subconsciously.

"He's so smart!"

Esther's eyes turned cold: "I'm not sure I can control him, so he'd better die!"

As he said that, he took out a remote control from his pocket and pressed it decisively.

boom!

A violent explosion came from behind. Linda turned around in horror and saw a burst of fire shooting into the sky.

"Baby, you!"

David, who was driving, also broke out in a cold sweat.

He never expected that it would explode directly. When did Esther arrange it? How did he get these explosives?

"It's a pity that it's daytime now."

Esther turned around and lay on the back seat to look back. The smoke from the fireworks made an innocent yet cruel smile appear on her lips.

"If it were night, it would be more beautiful and spectacular, wouldn't it?"

David and Linda were both stunned and did not answer for a moment.

"Um?"

Esther immediately turned his head and looked over, using his nasal voice to convey the threat.

"you're right."

Linda's face turned pale.

"Baby, you have the final say!"

David wiped his sweat and laughed, making a pun.

Because his brother died before, he not only replaced his brother, but also had a closer relationship with his two nieces than before.

He simply won.

This kind of plot is only available to the upper class of the United States and the island nation of Rejing. He only heard about it in the past, but now he can experience it for himself.

He was so proud that he had a psychological change and felt that he was in control of everything.

But looking at the violent explosion, his heart trembled again and again, and he suddenly realized that in the future family, the one who really has the final say is not him, but Esther!

"No pity for your precious Beth?"

Esther looked at him with a half-smile.

"It's not a pity, it's not a pity! How can she compare with you?"

David complimented sincerely.

The beautiful thought I had for Beth had been blown away by the explosion a long time ago. At least now I don't have any thoughts at all.

"I also think a family of three is the most stable and happiest family."

Esther smiled sweetly: "More than one Beth, it seems out of place, but now it is the best..."

When she said this, the smile on her face suddenly froze.

"What's wrong?"

Linda kept paying attention to her face, observing her words and expressions, and tried her best to survive.

"Drive faster!"

Esther stared at the back of the car and growled at David.

"yes!"

David was the most obedient at this time. He didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just kicked the accelerator to the bottom and started racing.

Esther continued to lie there, observing the back.

But I saw a car chasing this way at a faster speed.

"damn it!"

David also saw it in the rearview mirror and shouted in horror: "It can't be the police? How could it happen so fast?"

"Even worse!"

Esther's face turned pale as he said, "It's that detective Chuck!"

"impossible!"

David shouted: "How could such an explosion not kill him?"

At this moment, the car that was catching up behind suddenly got closer.

Esther had good eyesight and could vaguely see the person in the car behind her through the car window: "It must be damn Beth! She gave him a warning!"

"Bess isn't dead either."

Linda turned around in surprise.

"She's dead, I said so!"

Esther gritted her teeth and the pistol reappeared in her hand.

The two cars continued to speed forward, one behind the other.

In the car behind.

Chuck drove calmly, while Beth in the back seat had a look of shock and fear on her face. After a while, she looked at Chuck's calm eyes in the rearview mirror, calmed down, and murmured.

"Are we still alive?"

"As long as I'm here, what can happen?"

Chuck said calmly.

"..."

Beth Harmon was speechless for a moment. She had always been indifferent, but she suddenly realized and understood how Little Sheldon felt when facing Chuck.

However, she was not in the mood to complain about this. She turned her head to look at the aftermath of the explosion behind the car, and her thoughts suddenly returned to before the explosion.

At that time, she was still making an agreement with Chuck, and just when she wanted to say that if she won, Chuck would grant her a wish, Chuck suddenly hugged her without saying a word.

Then he rushed directly to the nearest back door and did not slow down to open the door when he approached it.

Instead, he turned slightly sideways and moved her out of his arms to avoid hitting the back door.

What shocked her even more was that the back door did not block Chuck from bouncing him back, but was directly smashed through by Chuck's side.

Just like that, Chuck hugged her and rushed out of the villa as if there was no obstacle.

Just when she finally reacted and wanted to ask, the explosion happened.

In the roar.

She subconsciously hugged Chuck tightly and allowed Chuck to quickly lead her away from the explosion point.

"It's Esther! And David! They left through the back door and left for 5 minutes..."

After she was completely away from the explosion point, she reacted and immediately told Chuck the key information.

"Get in the car! Sit tight!"

Chuck stripped her off him, stuffed her into the back seat, fastened her seat belt, then hit the accelerator and chased after her.

"how did you do it?"

Beth Harmon, who came back from her memories, asked in confusion.

"Doctors have strange senses, and so do police officers. Any profession related to life and death actually has a sense of life-threatening danger to a greater or lesser extent."

Chuck said bluntly: "As a detective, I have a stronger and more magical premonition of danger. Isn't it normal?"

"……Now how to do?"

Beth Harmon did not delve into this issue, but focused on the most urgent issue today: "Linda is still in their hands."

"Don't worry, I will catch them."

As Chuck spoke, he pushed the accelerator to the maximum.

If he hadn't taken the second drop of water of life, all the attributes of his body would have improved again, and his premonition of crisis would also have strengthened.

His previous ability to dodge sniper rifles alone was not enough to keep him safe from such a violent explosion.

Because it only takes a moment to dodge a sniper rifle, and with such a large-scale explosion, even if he had noticed the danger in advance and made evasive actions at the moment the explosion detonated.

But if the range is too large, his speed will still not allow him to escape in time.

Fortunately, now that the second drop of water of life has increased again, he can become a real man who never looks back at the explosion.

But it was obvious that he needed more water of life.

Otherwise, he will not be able to guarantee his absolute safety if he encounters a greater danger next time.

When these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chuck had already caught up with him in the car.

Seeing that the other party dared to run away at this time, Chuck slowed down slightly, lowered the car window, took out a big gun from his waist, turned the steering wheel with his right hand, the car swayed left and right, and fired four times while facing the front.

gun.

With a popping sound, all four wheels of the car in front were exposed.

Without the tires, the wheel hubs rubbed violently with the ground, the speed dropped sharply, and the car was finally forced to stop on the side of the road.
