Chapter 745 The truth
Luo An’s father, named Charles Greenwood, is a professor of accounting at Boston University and also serves as a consultant for many companies, so Luo An’s family conditions were very good when he was a child.
The mother’s original name was Beverly Sheffield. After marrying Roan’s father, she changed her husband’s surname according to the federal tradition and became Beverly Greenwood. She was a doctor at a children’s hospital.
In Luo An’s mind, the memory related to his father is almost zero, because when Luo An was just 4 years old, Charles Greenwood died in a street shooting.
I have many memories of my mother, Beverly. She was a gentle yet stern woman who pulled Luo An along as he grew up alone.
One week after Roan’s 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony, his mother, Beverly, was also killed in a street shooting on her way to work. The murderer, like the murderer of his father, Charles, was missing.
Luo An has never put these two things behind him. From becoming a full-time agent in the No. 5 Investigation Team, to leading the Special Investigation Team alone, to being promoted to Washington, D.C., Luo An has never given up on the investigation.
However, the time span was too long. There was no surveillance back then. Several witnesses died of illness or old age. In addition, shootings were common in Boston. The police ended the investigation hastily without leaving any useful information. As a result, Luo An’s investigation has been stagnant. .
When Luo An returned to Boston with Mona and bought back the old villa, in addition to nostalgia, he also wanted to do some research to see if he could find any useful information in the old villa.
It turned out that his mother Beverly did have a lot of belongings, but Luo Anzai searched carefully many times and still found nothing.
In the interrogation room, hearing Joseph mention his father, Luo An instantly recalled this situation in his mind.
Heart moved slightly but the expression on his face did not change at all. Luo An sat down on the chair with a smile and said:
"Sorry, Mr. Joseph, it seems a little late to start a relationship with me at this time."
“It’s not a relationship, I just feel a little emotional when I see you.”
Joseph sat on the chair behind the interrogation table, his hands cuffed, smiling and shaking his head.
He was wearing a high-end suit and had many wrinkles on his forehead and the corners of his eyes, but his long brown hair was meticulously combed and he had a slicked back hair. The first impression given was that this guy was very shrewd.
“Let’s talk about the murder of Lieutenant Governor Whitmore of Pennsylvania.”
Luo An changed the topic away from his father and asked:
“Mr. Joseph, do you have anything to say about this matter?”
Joseph didn’t say any more nonsense. He leaned back in his chair and admitted everything:
“There’s nothing to say, I’m the one looking for the killer.”
“What’s the reason?”
Michelle was writing furiously on the side, quickly recording Joseph's words. Roan then asked:
“Is it convenient for us to chat?”
…”
The room became quiet for a moment. Joseph was silent for a long time and finally sighed. He raised his head and looked at Luo An with very kind eyes:
“I have a son who is a little younger than you. He just turned 18 this year, but he is as handsome as you.”
Luo An’s eyelids twitched slightly, feeling as if Joseph was taking advantage of him.
“But a year ago, my son was accused of reading.”
Joseph didn't pay attention to Luo An's expression. He raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the interrogation room, and said to himself:
“I called Whittemore and asked him to do a favor.
As it turned out, Whitmore didn't answer my call. The person who answered the phone was his idiot secretary. The idiot secretary said that Whitmore was at a critical stage of the election and couldn't be involved... Fart! "
∣
“I don’t want to be involved!
That guy from Whitmore’s cousin was able to marry a woman from the Morgan family and reach his current position. Every step of the way was inseparable from my help!Now he succeeded and became the Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania! Just turn your back and deny anyone? He must pay for his actions! "
Michelle frowned, and Luo An narrowed his eyes slightly, understanding the story Joseph told.
When his son was accused and imprisoned, Joseph asked Whitmore for help, but Whitmore refused.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Federation. After all, the politicians and businessmen in the Federation are very difficult to distinguish between each other. It is normal for them to work together in confusion and disconnection.
However, Luo An didn’t understand one thing and asked:
“Mr. Joseph, besides Lieutenant Governor Whitmore, you should know other people, right?”
As a Pennsylvania general merchandise tycoon, Joseph had both money and status, and it was impossible for him to only know Whitmore as a politician.
“Yes, I do have many other friends.”
Joseph understood the subtext in Luo An’s words and did not hide it. He explained simply:
“But before I had time, I said that my son was very handsome, so he was targeted by a gangster as soon as he entered the prison.
While I was contacting other people to ask them to help change my son to a better cell, he had already been tortured by that pervert.
By the time my lawyer saw my son, he committed suicide. "
Joseph was 59 years old and had only one son. He was deeply saddened when he learned the news of his son's death.
In order to retaliate, Joseph mobilized all his connections and first killed the guy who violated his son, and then used other means to get rid of a large number of people in the local law enforcement department.
As for Lieutenant Governor Whitmore, from Joseph's perspective, he was the cause of the tragedy.
If Whittemore answered his call directly and didn't let the idiot secretary waste time with his words, then he would have time to contact other people for help.
The son will not be tortured and will not commit suicide; even if he is tortured, his people will rush to rescue him in time, and the son will not be allowed to commit suicide.
“So Lieutenant Governor Whitmore is the culprit.”
Joseph's eyes were red, he stared at Luo An, and said in a serious voice:
“He must die.”
…”
Michelle frowned, and Roan's expression remained unchanged. The death of his son had a great impact on Joseph. In addition, from his perspective, Whitmore's behavior was regarded as a kind of "betrayal."
As for whether his son actually took the reading material, it didn't matter in Joseph's eyes. Anyway, it was not his son who was wrong, but someone else.
After questioning for a while, Luo An took Michelle and left the interrogation room.
There is nothing much to say about this case at this point. Joseph admitted everything, and the evidence in the hands of the special investigation team also pointed to him. Then it was time for Michelle to start leading the detectives of the special investigation team to perform procedural document work.
Arranged the detectives to follow Michelle to handle the follow-up of the case, Luo An returned to the team leader's office, took out his cell phone and called Veranith.
Veranith was very satisfied with the brief introduction and explanation of the situation behind the case. After a brief communication, Veranith asked Luo An not to forget to send him the relevant documents later, and then hung up the phone on her own initiative.
After a few seconds of silence, Luo An returned to his seat and began to process the documents at hand. At the same time, he sent a text message to Mr. Morgan, telling him that the case had been solved.
In the evening, everyone in the special investigation team got off work. Luo An asked Mona to go home first, and then drove to the temporary prison.
“Good evening, Mr. Joseph.”
Joseph was temporarily brought to an interrogation room, Luo An's lips curled up slightly:
“Let’s talk.”
