The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 190 Jane: You know the police detective so well, isn't it because of his daughter and niece?

"Any criminals around here?"

Jane looked at Detective Rostenkowski: "Can I get the latest news about the criminal circle nearby?"

"You mean Scarlett's calving?"

Only then did Detective Rostenkowski understand what Jane meant, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible!"

The sudden turn of events from the chairwoman of the Women's Committee, the top housewife in town, to a criminal was too great to imagine.

"Detective, how do you explain the continued deposit of this large sum of cash?"

Jane looked at him in surprise, and everyone looked at each other knowingly when he mentioned depositing a large amount of cash on a regular basis.

"I thought……"

Detective Rostenkowski wanted to say something subconsciously, but he swallowed the words again, and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I might have misunderstood, you should be right."

"..."

The corner of Jane's mouth twitched, and she glanced at Chuck.

Chuck looked calm.

He knew what Detective Rostenkowski was thinking. If he suddenly deposits a large amount of cash on a regular basis, he might not necessarily be a criminal. Compared with the identity of the deceased, it is more reasonable to turn back to the old and return to the truth, and engage in the oldest inherited occupation of mankind.

Ordinary people, such as the eldest sister Hai Li in Alix's eyes, even if they are engaged in this ancient and inherited profession, they do not have the ability to make money comparable to calf selling. After all, it is only a labor-intensive industry and earns hard money.

However, the occupation of the husband of the deceased and the status of the chairman of the deceased women's committee gave him the opportunity to come into contact with a large number of wealthy and well-known people. With this status, he could earn a premium income comparable to that of selling calves.

It's just that death is the most important thing. Even if Detective Rostenkowski thought of this, he couldn't say it in public before confirming it.

"Whether it is true or not, you will find out if you ask someone."

Jane couldn't break Detective Rostenkowski's male brain circuit, and suppressed her complaints: "Detective, can you invite that Gloria Pritchett to come in and have a chat?"

"it is good."

Detective Rostenkowski went out to invite him himself, just to ease the discomfort caused by Jane's eyes just now.

"Do you think I'm right, or is Detective Rostenkowski right?"

Taking advantage of this gap, Jane couldn't help complaining to Chuck: "Is it true that the first reaction of men is to be the emperor instead of the calf?"

"This is normal."

Chuck said calmly: "The queen is the oldest one, and it also involves the need for reproduction, which is engraved into human DNA. Most people can ignore the prince and the calf, but they can hardly avoid a queen." Character."

"It's really scientific and reasonable."

Jane rolled her eyes at Chuck, who was too honest and calm.

The words may be right, but the taste always feels a little wrong.

"Gloria, this is Dr. Chuck Wolfe, the bureau's advisor, and this is his assistant, Jane Banner."

Detective Rostenkowski led in a Colombian girl of stature and Beth Bollander, a hero of green plum wine, and introduced the two sides.

"Yeah, yeah, I know you."

Gloria pointed at Chuck excitedly: "You worked as an accountant for my husband Jie, and he often talked about you, saying that you will definitely be successful."

"Mrs. Pritchett."

Jane drew her attention to herself: "You are one of the members of the women's committee in the town. You must have a close relationship with Scarlett, right?"

"Of course!"

Gloria's expression darkened: "I was able to enter the Women's Committee thanks to Scarlett. She is a very good friend and never discriminates against us outsiders."

Speaking of this, she said excitedly: "You must find out who killed her!"

"We'll try."

Jane nodded and said, "Do you know any enemies Scarlet has?"

"She has no enemies."

Gloria shook her head: "Everyone likes her very much, except Claire, but it is absolutely impossible to be Claire!"

"I heard that in addition to being a housewife and the chairman of the Women's Committee, she also sells homemade jewelry part-time?"

Jane didn't bother about whether Claire was the murderer, and went straight to the point.

"Correct."

Gloria showed her face sideways to everyone: "See? These are the earrings made by Scarlett. They are very artistic. She is so talented. Such a good person represents my biggest fantasy when I came to the United States, but Why did such a terrible thing happen in a place like Pingan Town? This is not Columbia, it should be very safe!"

"Yes."

Jane couldn't help but glanced at Gloria's domineering figure, then at Chuck, and said insincerely, "Many people come to Ping An Town to settle down because of the word Ping An."

"right!"

Seeing Jane agreeing with herself, Gloria became more and more excited. She waved her arms and stared at her eyes to strengthen her tone: "This is not what I imagine America should be like at all!"

"Welcome to the real America."

Jane opened her hands: "By the way, how much is this earring?"

"You mean this one?"

Gloria touched her earrings, thought for a while and said, "It's not expensive, only 20 dollars."

"Really."

Jane glanced at Chuck and Detective Rostenkowski, and tentatively said, "It's so artistic, and you like it so much, I thought it would be sold at a high price."

Gloria tilted her head and touched her earrings, and smiled awkwardly and politely.

Everyone will agree.

It’s okay to spend a small amount of money to support the part-time job of the chairman, but if they really want to spend a lot of money with the high premium of artworks to buy these, then I’m sorry, they can only embarrass and not lose He smiled politely and said nothing.

Nobody is a fool!
Besides, if Mr. Chairman really has such a high level of artistic accomplishment, someone would have snapped up it long ago, so why would they need to pay for it?

"A pair of earrings is $20, so other jewelry is almost in this price range?"

Jane looked at Gloria and said, "Even if this homemade jewelry is all profit, if you want to earn $5000, you need to sell 250 pieces. Are there so many people in town buying it?"

"There are so many."

Gloria shook her head immediately.

Although Ping'an Town is not small, there are many housewives and girls, but not everyone is willing to spend this money.

Only those of them who often meet Scarlett and have no shortage of money will be willing to spend money to buy or even buy a few more.

But no matter how you count, it is impossible to have as many as 250 pieces.

"That's interesting."

Jane said meaningfully: "The quantity of about 250 pieces is weekly and has lasted for several weeks, so the total amount may have exceeded a thousand pieces. You really didn't notice it at all?"

"impossible!"

Gloria's eyes widened: "Even if you count all the nearby towns, it's impossible to sell so much!"

"You are often with her. Besides selling jewelry, what other part-time job does she have to earn so much cash?"

Jane looked at Gloria carefully.

"Cash? So much?"

Gloria muttered a few words, then noticed Jane's gaze, and stared: "Are you suspicious of me? Just because I'm from Colombia?!"

Speaking of this, she crossed her arms with her chest, matched with the leopard print skirt on her body, and her staring expression, showing her ferocity: "In your eyes, as long as you come from Colombia, you are a criminal, don't you! You think I am giving you Carlette supplies calves, and then let her have so much cash income, right!"

"Don't get excited, I believe Assistant Banner didn't mean that."

Detective Rostenkowski hurried to smooth things over: "Right, Assistant Banner?"

"I didn't mean that."

Jane was also a little dazed, she just wanted to see if Gloria knew something inside, and why this was involved.

"Stop lying!"

Gloria's eyes widened, she waved her finger, pointed at Jane, and spit flying all over the place: "I am very familiar with this look, this is discrimination! Oh, you are from a foreign country, so you are poor and ignorant, oh oh , you have a hot body but married an old man, you must be greedy for his family property, oh, you are from Colombia, where drug lords are rampant, so it must be related to the calf trade!

I've had enough!These are shit!Tell you, I am not afraid of you!My sister is also a police officer!He is still a senior police detective of the serious crime team of the NYPD99 branch. In this small place, he can be the kind of sheriff!I'll call her now to see if you also suspect that she is an undercover agent of the Colombian drug lord here! "

"Don't get excited."

Detective Rostenkowski said helplessly: "We really didn't mean that."

"Your sister is from NYPD 99?"

Chuck said, "Detective Rosa Diaz?"

"You know my sister?"

Gloria looked at Chuck in surprise while talking on the phone.

She didn't have a problem with Chuck, after all, Chuck had never had the same expression from beginning to end.

"I've had a few cases with NYPD 99."

Chuck said, "Know her."

"That would be better."

Gloria glared at Jane: "See? I didn't lie to you! Let my detective sister tell you that you can't discriminate against us!"

"We really don't..."

Jane was speechless.

"Rosa, it's me! Your sister!"

The call was connected quickly, and Gloria directly turned on the voice, and quickly spoke to the other end of the phone. When she was excited, the dialect of Colombia came out, and Jane felt dizzy when she heard it. She couldn't help but look at Zha gram.

Spanish is spoken in Colombia, and Hispanics account for 14% of the population in the United States, almost on par with African Americans, and they are the largest minority.

Therefore, Spanish has also become a very important foreign language, especially for law enforcement officers, knowing Spanish is even an important bonus item in the promotion exam.

Although Jane is not proficient, she does know a little bit of Spanish, but Gloria's own accent is relatively heavy. When she gets excited, she speaks very fast, which directly makes her who is not proficient at all unable to understand.

But she trusted Chuck to understand.

"She's talking about it, in her eyes."

Chuck said succinctly.

"Tell them, tell them!"

Gloria, who finally finished speaking, stared at Jane fiercely, and pointed her phone at Jane.

"They said nothing wrong."

A cold female voice came from the other end of the phone: "You are too sensitive."

"what?!"

Gloria was stunned, and shouted dissatisfiedly at the other end of the phone: "I'm your sister! You actually help outsiders and not me?!"

"You married the man who was supposed to be your brother-in-law, why didn't you say you were my sister at that time?"

On the other end of the phone, Gloria's younger sister Rosa said coldly: "I met Jie first, and he was going to look for me, but you came over."

"Now is not the time to say that."

Seeing gossip flashing in the eyes of Jane and Detective Rostenkowski, Gloria's menacing momentum faltered, she put the phone back to her ear, and stopped the voice: "Also, you weren't interested in Jie at all. .”

"I'm not really interested in him."

Rosa's voice could still be faintly heard on the other end of the phone: "He is more than a 60-year-old man, so what if he has some money? I'm afraid that when you need it, you have to make excuses to avoid it, otherwise you will definitely be caught. You are dying on the bed, your so-called true love, he can't bear it at all."

"He's not what you said at all!"

Gloria roared angrily, "And since you're not interested, why bother with this topic?"

It was her sister's words that caused many images to flash in her mind, and she suddenly realized that after marriage, not only did her husband not dislike her for bringing her ex-husband's son, but he also cared for him.

Thirty like a wolf, every time there is an overtime game, her husband will go out for a while, and within a few seconds of coming back to prepare for the overtime game, her son will walk in unconsciously, talking about her school life , so she had to suppress the heart of a tiger and wolf, and patiently chatted with her son.

I didn't think about it carefully at first, but now that my sister pointed it out, I suddenly realized that this is clearly the reason why my husband, who is as shrewd as a self-made man, is good at maintenance.

Going on to think about it, is the husband also afraid that he will "manslaughter" him justifiably, and then inherit his inheritance, and raise the little boy to be happy.

The key point is that she really said this in a mocking tone, but she didn't mean it at all. She really loved him, but something else. She was simply too wronged.

"Because what I give you is yours."

On the other end of the phone, younger sister Rosa said coldly: "It doesn't count if you robbed."

"you!"

Gloria hung up the phone angrily, got up and walked out.

Neither Jane nor Detective Rostenkowski made a sound.

Detective Rostenkowski sincerely felt that this incident could not possibly have anything to do with Gloria, and naturally he would not offend the angry wife of the multi-millionaire again.

And Jane felt the same way, and the feeling of oppression that Gloria gave her completely disappeared.

Without him!

Except for the most eye-catching domineering body curve, Gloria's appearance is not at all up to the standard of beauty in Chuck's eyes, and this personality and demeanor are not in Chuck's eyes at all.

That being the case, Jane's interest in her naturally disappeared.

"It's getting late, everyone has children to take care of at home."

A police officer came over and whispered something, and Detective Rostenkowski looked at Chuck: "Can the follow-up conversation be postponed until tomorrow?"

Chuck looked at Jane.

Jane hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay."

"Okay, call it a day."

Detective Rostenkowski waved to his subordinates: "They can go back first, but they have to reserve time for us tomorrow."

Not only are housewives with multiple children needing to go home, but the police want to go home too.

Investigating a case is never done in a day. The kind of TV dramas that stay up all night without rest are just acting out the plot.

In the United States, the police is just a job, not even a job to protect the people, but a job to ensure stability, to be able to catch criminals after committing crimes after giving priority to ensuring their own absolute safety and life.

Everyone called it a day, and Jane and Chuck turned back to the mountainside villa.

"You know Detective Rostenkowski well?"

Jane couldn't help looking at Chuck who was driving.

"know."

Chuck was succinct.

"How did you meet?"

Jane asked curiously.

"There are six children in his family."

While driving, Chuck said: "The income depends on him being a policeman, which is not enough to support the children. His wife runs an illegal daycare class in the basement, and there are some tax issues."

"So it is."

Jane was taken aback, and subconsciously muttered: "It's not because of his daughter and niece..."

"Is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"

Chuck glanced at her.

"of course not!"

Jane quickly explained: "I'll just say it casually."

"very good."

Chuck nodded: "Don't say it next time."

simple:"……"

For some reason, she always felt that these words were strange.
