Mage Joan

Chapter 957: Hint ring

Mrs. Josephine noticed the strange expression of Joan and Corton, guessing that most of the two were communicating through "communication", and they lit a cigarette for themselves again, thinking silently Worry.

The silence in the interrogation room lasted for several minutes, Joan and Kirton exchanged glances, and finally Pinkerton coughed and broke the silence.

"Madam, Sheriff Gleason just next door interrogated the important witness in this case, Elder Motoman, Momo, and asked him if he paid attention to the ring on your hand."

"In order to evoke the witness's memories, Sheriff Gleason specifically stated that the ring would glow, and it would cause people to be in a trance and unconsciously give the ring wearer a sense of trust..."

"What then?"

Mrs. Josephine asked casually.

"Chemodo admitted that he had an impression of such a ring, but his next testimony was a bit unexpected..."

Pinkerton stared at Mrs. Josephine as if to see through her mind.

"Gamo said that he had seen this ring, but not in your hand, but in David Kaufman's hand. That was 20 years ago, Kaufman interviewed him and hired him to murder himself. Wife Elena."

"Chemodo was reluctant to kill the woman and wanted to quit the business. However, when he accidentally saw the radiance from the ring in Kauffman's hand, he inexplicably changed his mind and finally accepted his employment."

"A long time after the incident, Gemodo realized that David Kauffman's ring was attached to "hint" and put him together during the negotiation."

"Gemodo is very unhappy about this, but after all, things have passed, and Kaufman is a big money-paying gold lord, he can only swallow this breath, when nothing happened."

"After a lapse of 20 years, Gemodo still has a grudge about this little trick that Kaufman used to play, so he remembered it when prompted by Gleason."

"Mrs. Josephine, you deny that you have a "hint ring", so if you have seen a similar ring in the hands of your fiancé, maybe you have also been inadvertently tempted by the ring, so you just checked Mr. Fuman loved him and accepted his proposal?"

"Ted, no one can play that little trick in front of me, and David is no exception."

Mrs. Josephine's answer immediately made Joan realize that her mentality had lost her usual calmness.

Pinkerton was clearly aware of this sign and immediately threw a sharper question.

"Madam, your words only show that Kauffman has never used a'hint ring' on you, but he has not denied that he owns such a ring, does he?"

Mrs. Josephine buried her head and smoked silently.

Joan felt that the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense, but he was helpless. He simply restrained his distractions and concentrated on making notes.

After a long time, Mrs. Josephine finally pressed her cigarette **** in the ashtray and raised her head—in just a few minutes, her face became haggard.

"Ted, before I answer your question, please tell me the truth about Jelena's death."

"Madam, or do you tell me first, how did Kaufman explain to you the death of his former wife?"

Pinkerton asked quietly.

"David told me that the woman betrayed him, committed adultery after marriage, cruelly abandoned her husband and young son, and eloped with her lover."

Mrs. Josephine rubbed her forehead and sighed softly.

"I am not a credulous person, but when David told me these things, I really saw no signs of lying."

"Madam, you don't have to doubt your eyesight. Mr. Kaufman didn't lie to you."

Joan tried to comfort her, but some words had to be said.

"He just... didn't tell you the whole truth."

Joseph Finn silently listened to Joan telling the part of the truth that David Kaufman intended to avoid talking to her. Her hands clasped together with ten fingers showed that her heart was not calm.

After Joan finished speaking, she still maintained a sculptural sitting posture to meditate and meditate. Until Pinkerton and others were impatient and coughed heavily, she slowly raised her head and whispered in a tired tone:

"David used to have a "hidden ring", but it was stolen six months ago. For this reason, he was still very distressed. It is suspected that the maid who cleaned the room for him stole the ring and dismissed the maid... 'I only know this.'

"Thank you, ma'am, help a lot!"

In the eyes of Pinkerton, he couldn't hide his joy, and quickly got in touch with Sheriff Gleason through "Communications" to convey the important testimony that Mrs. Josephine had just provided.

Joan listened to the conversation between the detective and the sheriff, and guessed that they would focus on interrogating David Kauffman in the next step, using the "hint ring" as a breakthrough.

However, compared with the progress of the case, Joan now cares more about Mrs. Josephine's mood, vaguely anticipating the prospect of her marriage with David Kauffman, seems to be overshadowed.

None of the three people in the room were interested in talking, and the time passed by silently.

When Mrs. Josephine started smoking the fifth cigarette, Joan and Kirkton stood up in unison and turned to look at the door of the interrogation room, as if waiting for something.

Mrs. Josephine stunned slightly, and turned subconsciously to the door.

Soon, footnotes and conversation sounds came from outside the door.

The door of the interrogation room was open, and Sheriff Gleason, holding a transcript, was talking to Professor Moriarty in a low voice.

The two men seemed to have reached some kind of tacit agreement, and each nodded their heads, and then Sheriff Gleason walked into the interrogation room, and Professor Moriarty went back to see his morning paper.

"Gleason, what's the situation over there, has Kaufman explained the guilt?" Pinkerton asked urgently.

"It depends on what part of the crime you mean."

Sergeant Gleason handed him the transcript, took a chair by himself and sat next to Joan, his arms crossed against his chest, his face somber as ever.

Pinkerton joked the transcript to Joan, and said angrily: "I'm too lazy to read those scribbled shorthand words. It's not as good as you to briefly summarize. What did Kaufman tell me?"

Gleason glanced at Josephine and seemed to weigh the other suspect in the face to see if these were appropriate. After a few seconds, he finally spoke.

"Kaufman totally denied assisting the Marsh Toad in the murder trial, and he was very resentful about this issue."

"As soon as I made the accusation against him, he jumped up angrily and yelled at me. He also claimed that the reason why he was so annoyed was not because I suspected his guilt, but because I was insulting his intelligence. Level."

"Ha! This is indeed the usual arrogant attitude of Kaufman. The guy always thinks how smart he is... But then, why does he think your question is stupid?"

Pinkerton asked curiously.
