It Was You

Chapter 912 Dead Men Tell No Tales

After a moment's silence, Arthur suddenly asked, "I just heard from you that your husband fell and injured on the construction site?"

The middle-aged woman seemed to finally find someone to talk about. She chattered, "Yes, since Paola left, his father went to the police station often. So he was fired by the original company. We don't have any education and it's difficult to find a job, so we have to go to the construction site to find a part- time worker. 4 years ago, his father fell down from the construction site, but our boss said that we were temporary workers, so he didn't pay for it. Our savings were used up not long ago. At first, we even borrowed some money from relatives. Later, our relatives also avoided us. His father was stubborn. He was busy with investigating the case, while going to the construction site..."

She had never said a word of bitterness from beginning to end. Even though they had experienced many vicissitudes of life, they could only swallow all the grievances bitterly, because they still had to live.

Arthur's thin lips tightened into a straight line. After a long time, he coughed and said, "Well, please wait here for a moment. I'll go to get something for you. Don't leave."

He was afraid that once the middle-aged woman left, he couldn't find her.

The middle-aged woman kept nodding for a while. No one knew what she was thinking, or she hadn't trusted that the murderer of her daughter was really punished.

Arthur walked quickly to his office. It were Bettina and the others on duty today. When Arthur entered the office, he raised his voice and said, "Take out all the cash with you!" Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Hearing this, Bettina and the others were confused.

Even so, they still took out all their cash, but because the mobile phone payment was too popular and developed, no one brought too much cash with them. After search, they only found more than 5000 dollars.

Arthur let them keep accounts and left, and then hurried back to the reception room. From a long distance, he saw the middle-aged woman leaning against the back of the chair and sleeping with silver and black hair.

The reality gave her such a heavy blow, but she still lived in this world with difficulty. Perhaps sometimes living was indeed a sin in itself.

Arthur walked lightly, but the middle-aged woman woke up at once. For so many years, she had been used to waking up as soon as there was a slight movement, and she never dared to turn off her phone. She was afraid of missing her phone, and she looked forward to the wrong case that year. So that their daughter was still alive, even if she lived at the ends of the earth, in a place they could not see.

"Hello..." The middle-aged woman straightened her back, as if her back, which had been stooped for 13 years, finally straightened up.

Arthur numbly handed an envelope in his hand and said with difficulty, "This is our little kindness. Just take it as a gift to uncle. We will visit him another day."

The middle-aged woman refused the money no matter what. She refused and cried, "We can't take it. Although we have a hard time, we have hands and feet. We can't..."

Arthur put the envelope into the middle-aged woman's hand, and then asked someone to send the middle-aged woman back. At last, he checked the hospital where the woman's husband was hospitalized. As soon as he finished his work, Martin and Cassandra arrived.

Arthur was sitting in the corridor and smoking. There were cigarette butts scattered all over the ground, and the smell of smoking became more intense. It was a familiar formula. He stood up and looked at Martin, "Can you do me a favor?"

Raising his eyebrows, Martin said, "Okay."

Arthur swallowed and said in a somewhat dry voice, "In that case, there was a victim named Paola. Her parents had never given up looking for the real murderer. A few years ago, her father's leg was injured. I know that the private hospital of the Lu Clan is good. Can you help him to check if his leg can be cured? I can pay the fees. Their family is so pitiful. We can't force them to die."

Sometimes, it was really more difficult to live than to die.

Martin nodded, "Carlos, Do it yourself."

Carlos nodded, "Yes, boss. I'll arrange it right away."

Arthur breathed out a mouthful of stale air as if relieved. A faint smile slowly appeared on his tired face. "Then you follow me in first."

The group of people returned to the meeting room one after another. It was a long night, and the meeting room was particularly cold at night. The rain was getting lighter and lighter, leaving only a little drizzle splashing on the window, leaving a small mass of water stains.

After explaining the situation, Arthur said, "Eugene's death is absolutely not an accident. Someone was afraid that we would continue to investigate, so they put the blame on him and planned to kill Eugene. Dead men tell no tales. But now I still have a doubt."

Martin said, "Why did Eugene appear on the street in front of the police station after the crime? He must have found something and wanted to contact you. But he can't explain it on the phone. His mobile

phone must have been eavesdropped. Have you checked it?"

Arthur's back suddenly froze. He immediately grabbed the phone on the table, dialed a number and asked his men to take Eugene's phone for inspection.

"Eugene is an old criminal police. He is well-trained and has been investigating this case for so many years, so..." Arthur pressed his temples and said with a dull face, "He must have found some other clues, and he also noticed that his mobile phone was eavesdropped. He was afraid that the clues would be leaked, so he found the police station. Unfortunately, he and we were late. There is nothing but a phone, a wallet and a bunch of keys."

Martin looked at Arthur and said, "In the Skyriver Building, there is a 18 floor locker. Eugene has a secret locker there. The key is kept by him. He should still have it."

Arthur's back suddenly shivered. He immediately picked up his phone and dialed Bettina's number.

Bettina was sorting out the files, hoping to find some missing clues. When she received Arthur's call, she tensed up subconsciously and pressed the phone against her ear. "What happened?"

"Don't disturb anyone. Go to the material evidence room and get Eugene's key! Go now!" Arthur's voice was almost broken, and his heart was almost in his throat.

He wasn't sure if the person over there had known this, so they took the key from Eugene.

Bettina didn't dare to ask more. After hanging up the phone, she immediately went to the material evidence room to get the key.
