“If I’m the one who stuck the knife in, I shall not die.”
Looking at Erlina Lee’s gambit, the lawyer who came to question her frowned as well.
“If you didn’t do it, then who else could it be?”
“How do I know?” Erlina Lee’s face was haggard, it was as if she had aged ten years in one night, and her forehead had gray hair, “I was scared to death when I saw the old man fall, I heard footsteps and immediately hid in the wine cellar, and my daughter-in-law came.”
“The sound of footsteps?” The lawyer caught the contradiction, “No, there’s still a gap between this time you say, and the time your daughter-in-law arrived.”
Seemingly thinking of something, Erlina Lee suddenly blushed and
“I … am not right, the footsteps I heard from … came from the backyard.”
Amelia Bright came certainly from the front door, and she came to be driving, but that day she did not hear the sound of the engine, but heard the sound of footsteps in the backyard, when too much panic, so all at once to hide in the wine cellar.
Now that I think about it, the footsteps she heard were not Amelia Bright’s at all, only because everyone knew later that Amelia Bright had come and had a preconceived idea.
“So there were other people who came in between.”
And the lawyer’s face changed.
—
Inside a private public house in the name of the Gellar family on Yihe Road, the maid brought tea and retired.
Because Emily Guan’s job could not be dropped for the time being, no one felt comfortable leaving Amelia Bright alone at her home.
Gellar Jaxton Olson and Bohdi Olson’s mom and dad are always traveling the world abroad, and they don’t see the end of the world, so this public house has always been their residence, so now it is also empty.
“Erlina Lee, although this person is mercenary and mean, but she does not dare to do such things as murder, this case must have another hidden agenda.”
Amelia Bright leaned back on the couch, her brow furrowed.
Despite the cold war with Farren Austin, but the police department case tracking she entrusted Gellar Jaxton Olson to help follow, after all, the Austin family out of such a big deal, she is still a witness to the case.
“You still suspect that Calla Moon woman?”
Gellar Jaxton Olson brought two cups of hand-ground coffee from the kitchen and handed one to Emily Guan, ignoring Bohdi Olson who reached over and said indifferently, “Go grind it yourself if you want.”
Bohdi Olson eyebrows immediately crossed up, “Gellar Jaxton Olson!”
“What did you call me?”
Gellar Jaxton Olson a look to kill the past, Bohdi Olson immediately wimped out, scowled and honestly called ‘brother’, and then nimbly went to grind their own coffee.
“There’s definitely something wrong with that Calla Moon,” Emily Guan said, sipping her coffee and getting the conversation back on track.
“Amelia couldn’t have lied to us, and since Master Austin mentioned Calla Moon before he died and said that someone was trying to kill Farren Austin, there’s no way that the two things are unrelated. ‘Someone wants to harm Farren Austin’, how are all linked together in one sentence.”
“Is it possible that what the old man was trying to say was simply that Calla Moon had something to do with it, but that the person who wanted to harm Farren Austin was not Calla Moon?”
Bohdi Olson returned from pouring a glass of plain water and interjected, only to be met with three pairs of blank stares.
Amelia Bright frowned and said.
“I’m sure the old man said it was Calla Moon who did him in, and then warned me Farren was in danger, and you didn’t see the scene, blood was flowing all over the floor, the knife was precisely in the heart artery, a slight touch, blood splattered all over me, the technique is not something ordinary people can do.”
“But didn’t you say Calla Moon had an alibi for that day?” Emily Guan asked.
Gellar Jaxton Olson nodded.
“I verified this, the day of the crime, Calla Moon did spend the whole day in the military training.”
Bohdi Olson was getting impatient with the analysis and started babbling.
“So what exactly did the old man see? Someone who looked exactly like Calla Moon? Twins? Transfiguration?”
The crowd gave him another round of blank stares.
That’s basically where the case got stuck.
Gellar Jaxton Olson put down his coffee cup.
“Forget about it, Lin Mo is already investigating Calla Moon’s background, if she is really something, we should be able to find out some traces from her background.”
After that he glanced at Amelia Bright.
“Tomorrow morning pregnancy test, I have a meeting at eight o’clock, about nine o’clock, let Lin Mo pick you up, if the meeting is not over, you can wait for me in the office for a while.”
“No need to go to such trouble, I can go to the pregnancy test by myself.”
“No,” Emily Guan and Bohdi Olson both said the words in unison.
Gellar Jaxton Olson let out a soft laugh.
“See, I don’t need to say, they both disagree first, this is the matter, tomorrow morning I will ask Lin Mo to pick you up, I have to leave first.”
Once he heard that Gellar Jaxton Olson was leaving, Bohdi Olson’s eyes lit up.
“Bye, brother.”
Gellar Jaxton Olson glanced at him as he put on his jacket, “Don’t stay up too late, pregnant women need to rest early, don’t you have to take Emily to the set in the morning, set your alarm clock and don’t forget.”
“Got it,” Bohdi Olson muttered in a small voice.
“If you didn’t know, you’d think your sister-in-law was banging you, why are you so rambunctious.”
Gellar Jaxton Olson’s expression snapped, but only for a moment before he avoided Bohdi Olson’s gaze and turned to walk away.
Once Gellar Jaxton Olson was gone, Bohdi Olson sat down on the couch with a start.
“Lucy, do you feel that my brother has changed a lot since Sister Guan Guan came back? He’s not mean anymore either, it’s like his sharpness has been thwarted.”
“Are you sure?” Amelia Bright gave him a faint look, “Wasn’t the beating you received when you betrayed me last time hard enough?”
“Can you not reveal the scars?” Bohdi Olson looked sarcastic, “I didn’t get beaten up for you.”
“You have forgotten the pain, your brother and sister-in-law I advise you to stay out of it,” Emily Guan also rolled her eyes at him.
“Although I have never met your sister-in-law, but I heard that she is a particularly powerful asset appraiser, my third brother mentioned her on the phone with me two days ago.”
“Your brother?” Bohdi Olson gaze changed, “My sister-in-law how also with your third brother also know?”
“My third brother, Gong Olson’s recent acquisition, hired the asset appraiser is Max Zhou, I did not tell you?”
“First time.”
“I saw my brother praising her, this is really a first.”
“No way.”
Bohdi Olson tugged at the corner of her mouth with a complicated look.
“Why do you look like that?”
Emily Guan has always been a little slow on the emotional front.
Amelia Bright looked at the two of them and sighed.
“Didn’t you say that your third brother appreciates Sister Max Zhou? The man’s admiration for a woman will often develop into a male and female relationship, right, although Max Zhou and Jaxton Olson divorced, but Jaxton Olson brother side can obviously not give up yet, you say if Jaxton Olson brother and your brother are after Max Zhou sister, you two caught in the middle … … …”
“Really?” Emily Guan looked enlightened and excited, “My third brother is in love? My goodness, I have to tell big brother, I didn’t even think about it until I told him, this is the first time in thirty years that my third brother is interested in women.”
“Hey …,” Bohdi Olson interrupted her, “Hey, wait a minute, that’s my sister-in-law … ”
“Divorced for goodness sake!”
“…”
Amelia Bright looked at the two people around the sofa chicken jumping to grab the phone, showing a few helpless smile.
