Chapter 501 Inquiry
Todd listened carefully, feeling that Ormand’s analysis was very reasonable.
He asked, “Ormand, if it is really the Felton family that he wants, will you help him?”
Ormand’s eyes darkened, and he did not answer the question.He didn’t specify.
Maybe he would help Jerry, or maybe he wouldn’t.
Todd had been by Ormand’s side long enough to know what Ormand meant, so he stopped asking.
After returning to the National Bureau of Investigation, Ormand immediately asked Todd to investigate Pamela’s death himself.
Todd interrogated all the servants and bodyguards of the Felton family.
After half a day of investigation, he got nothing.
Pamela’s autopsy results came out.She did take an unknown drug.
Todd examined the autopsy results and asked the forensic doctor, “Can you find out what exactly caused her suffocation and the time when she took the drug?”
The forensic doctor shook his head.
“No partially dissolved liquid was found in Mrs.Felton’s system.The only reason for such results is the traces of poison on her body.And I’m guessing the drug isn’t legal abroad.
“As for the time, since we don’t know exactly what she took, we can’t be sure when she took it.Some drugs have an incubation period.Pending death in a few days is entirely possible.”
Todd fell into silence.
In such a way, Jerry couldn’t get away with the timing.
If Ronian insisted that Jerry stole the key to the top floor at the banquet, Jerry wouldn’t be able to defend himself.
Todd went back to Ormand’s office and reported the results the forensic doctor got to Ormand.
“Gather all the members of the Felton family again for the second round of questioning.This time, I will ask them myself,” Ormand said seriously.
In the afternoon, all the servants were brought into the National Bureau of Investigation’s inquiry room in separate groups.
Ormand asked, “How was the relationship between Jerry and Mrs.Felton all along?”
He asked the same question to everyone who came into the inquiry room.
The servant who weeded and watered the garden said, “I don’t know.I haven’t been working for the Felton family for a long time.I have only been there for two years.Back then, Mr.Jerry was busy with the Secret Bureau of Investigation’s affairs and didn’t go back to the old house often.He returned to the Felton’s house recently.But I know that he wasn’t close to Mrs.Felton.After he came back, he didn’t mention Mrs.Felton, and he didn’t ask for a visit from Mr.Ronian.”
The servant, who had worked in the old house for fifteen years, said, “They didn’t get along.Mrs.Felton hated Mr.Jerry very much.After all, Mr.Jerry was not her biological son.When he was a child, she criticized him quite a few times.Maybe that was why he had a grudge and killed her!”
Everyone who stayed in the old house for a long time had similar opinions.
Jerry had been bullied by Pamela when he was a child.
Later, when he was fighting for power, he was lectured by Ronian a few times.
Besides, Jerry had a previous conviction.
Therefore, the servants all believed in Ronian’s inference.
They agreed that it was Jerry who poisoned and killed Pamela.
After a whole afternoon of in-depth questioning, it was almost time to get off work.
All kinds of evidence and testimonies were unfavorable to Jerry.
Ormand was a little annoyed and unconsciously lit a cigarette.
Before he took a puff, he suddenly remembered that Viola didn’t allow him to smoke.
After all, there were two cute babies at home, and they couldn’t go near the smoke.
If he were to be found out when he returned, he would be doomed.He handed the cigarette to Todd.
Todd took it and obediently went to the corner of the inquiry room to smoke.
The last one to ask before getting off work was Konner.
