Chapter 370 Christopher Isn’t the Culprit
Shane’s long fingers touched her cheek gently, but he didn’t do anything after that. He only said, “Do you still remember that you set up a project for those workers?”
“Of course I remember. We’re still following up on that project.”
“Get the people who helped Olive before to ask for an investigation of this by using your resources. Let the local authority deal with this,” Shane said lightly.
“What an idea! Why didn’t I think of that? I love you.” As she spoke, Charlotte escaped from his embrace and headed towards her own office desk.
Shane watched her leave, and his thin lips curved into a slight smile. He forced the smile off his face before focusing on his keyboard. He naturally had a way to help her solve the problem. However, rather than helping her solve the problem, it was better to teach her the way to solve the problem.
With this idea in mind, she could solve her own problems in the future. As for him, he could just watch her. There was no need to think too much about other things.
Soon, Charlotte contacted the working family that took care of Olive before. The family had received a lot of compensation, so the person who answered the call was very friendly to Charlotte. When he heard that Olive had an accident, he was naturally willing to help.
When the police heard that she and Shane would get involved, they were very happy about it. After all, they could get a lot of funds. The expenses covered by the government were limited and needed to be placed on bigger cases. This case was neither big nor small.
After all, the explosion was a big deal, but it was not so big of a deal since there were no casualties.
The police department had gotten a lot of experience catching culprits. Since this was someone involved with Avery, it was great that Avery’s friends intervened in secret.
So, in the afternoon of that day, Charlotte got all the information regarding the case. The authorities didn’t hide anything from her, and even offered to help with technical support.
Naturally, Charlotte would not go overboard. To accept too much help from the police department would be dangerous. If others were to discover that her target was not Olive but Avery, then it would be bad.
After she received the information, Charlotte informed Rick and Kendall. Together with Shane, they arrived at Peter and Zoe’s house. It was better for Olive and Avery not to go out for now, so she did not invite them.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“This is all the information we have.”
Charlotte put all the documents on the table. She had already compiled the files based on their numbers. Rick took the lead and grabbed the last document, numbered 7 to read. When he saw this, Peter smiled and picked up the file numbered 1. “Thank you, Mr Jane,” he said.
“It’s all the same.” Rick did not raise his head and focused on the documents. In a short while, he frowned.
Peter had grabbed the first file, but when he looked at it, he frowned. Peter and Rick’s expressions were the same. They were so serious that the hearts of the two ladies beside them were moved.
Shane hadn’t read the documents before. He took a random file and flipped through the pages, but there was no expression on his face.
“This is too much. Why target a child? And once the culprit dies, we can’t even confirm whether hypnosis is involved. If it’s hypnosis, then…” Peter began to express his opinion. He put the first file on the table and picked up the second one.
At this time, Rick had just finished reading File 7. He put down the file with a sullen face and picked the first file to read. As he read it, he was so angry that his lips were trembling. “What the hell is going on? I saw it from File 7 that they targeted a child, but how are four people dead?”
Among the four people, two of them had been confirmed as Olive’s previous adoptive father and the man who set the bomb. The others included the child of the foster parents’ family and the adoptive mother who was still being treated for her aneurysm.
Nearly their entire family was dead.
“I don’t think Christopher was involved,” Charlotte said. “If there is a mastermind behind this, it’s obvious that Avery wasn’t the target, but this family. Of course, this is just my personal guess. I want to listen to what all of you think.”
“I agree with this analysis as well.” Peter put down the two documents. “Based on the information in File 2, the perpetrators don’t seem to be coming for Avery. They don’t have anything to do with him at all. In fact, other than Olive, they don’t need to involve Avery at all, let alone kill or cripple him. The only possible target is Olive.”
Rick took and read a few sentences of File 2 and nodded. “Indeed, it seems that there’s nothing to do with Avery, but the culprit is only an ordinary salaryman. Why would he be so ruthless?”
“I feel like they probably want to kill Olive. Did this child see or does she know something?” Peter went on to pick up File 4.
File 4 was much more complicated. It contained a map of the relationships among the people involved, including all their colleagues and friends. Obviously, as soon as the police department made a move, they weren’t playing. All the information was extremely detailed.
After Peter finished reading File 4, he was stunned. “There seems to be no mafia involved. Who did they offend? Why would they be killed? I really think we have to go to Avery’s place. Why don’t we ask Avery and Olive out?”
“Recently, Sheryl and I were planning to go on a vacation. Why don’t we go together?” Charlotte suggested. “If we all go on a trip, no one will suspect it.”
“Sheryl may not agree,” Shane said. He was taking precautions with this.
“She wanted to go with Olive before. But Olive is sensible, so she didn’t want to go. How about this, I’ll call Sheryl and Avery first. You can continue reading.” Charlotte took her phone and left the table.
Shane left with her.
Rick glanced at the two of them and shifted her gaze to Kendall. “What do you think?”
“I think it will be great to spend more time with your friends. Can we go too? About the company…” Kendall was a little worried about the Jane Corporation.
“Yes,” Rick chuckled and said. “Let me see if the new CEO is to my liking.”
“I have investigated your new CEO. He’s very good. The information I gave you is basically his real resume. The only difference is that he said that he got his doctorate here, but in fact, he returned when he was doing his master’s degree. And he hates foreign companies and families very much.”
“Yes, he told me that he’s not helping the Jane Corporation, but me. I didn’t know the reason at that time, so I asked you to investigate.” Rick sighed helplessly.
He was a great person, but he despised the Jane Corporation. At first, Rick thought it was not a big deal. After all, even if he wanted to become independent from the Jane Corporation. It would be helpful to have such a person around.
Peter picked up another file and read it. “So I followed the line of investigation. It seems that this is because he had a girlfriend of a renowned family abroad, and the girlfriend was the only child. He also wanted to live luxuriously, so the family also gave him some money. But in the end, this woman cheated on him. It was with one of the most powerful men in the same circles at that time.”
“Don’t tell me that…” Rick frowned.
“Yes, we all know this person. He is the young business mogul in Europe, Bugatti di Angelo.”
Rick was speechless.
Peter looked at him, shocked. He said mysteriously, “Guess how they got together?”
