American Comics: When the Police Comes to Knock on the Door

Richard and Sharon traveled to the Stark Fair and informed the fair's director of the preliminary findings of the case.

After learning that the case was a murder, the person in charge was relieved. He can now give an explanation to exhibitors, tourists and the media.

But the person in charge was freed, and Richard still had to continue handling the case. Richard still needed to give an explanation to the deceased and his family.

While notifying the person in charge of the preliminary results, Richard asked for the phone number and office address of the person in charge of the Stark Foundation.

Emma is an extremely intelligent woman, and there must be some depth to her words. Richard decided to trust Emma, ​​it was time to ask questions anyway.

Richard and Sharon traveled to the Stark Foundation, where Richard met the director of the Foundation, Robert Jackson.

"Matthews Drone Company, wait a moment, let me take a look." As he spoke, Robert began to search on the computer.

But when the application record of Matthews Drone Company was displayed on the computer, Robert frowned.

Seeing that something was wrong with Robert's expression, Richard quickly asked: "Is there anything wrong?"

Robert shook his head and said: "There is nothing wrong, but detective, the records I show here are different from what you said."

"Why is it different?"

“Fred did apply for a loan from us, and we approved his application.”

"and then"

"But Fred later canceled the loan application."

"Cancel" Richard rubbed his head and continued to ask: "Mr. Jackson, can you elaborate?"

"Mr. Fred Matthews had applied for a loan from us before the Stark Expo, but he canceled the loan application shortly after the expo started."

"Wait you mean Matthews applied for the loan before the fair"

"Yes, what's wrong"

Richard frowned and did not answer Robert's question. He walked to the desk and asked, "Can I take a look?"

Robert nodded and turned his computer screen to Richard.

Richard looked at the information on the computer screen.

No, why is it this time?

According to information from the Stark Foundation, the day Fred canceled the loan was the day Fred began to contact Frost International.

Sharon walked up to Richard, looked down at the information together and asked, "What's wrong?"

Richard shook his head slightly to indicate that it was inconvenient. Then Richard turned the screen back to Robert. After thanking him, he and Sharon left the foundation's office together.

Back in the car, Richard put his fists on his forehead, thinking about the significance of the information.

Judging from the timeline of the information just now, Fred first applied for a loan from the Stark Foundation, and then while canceling the loan, Fred began negotiating with Frost International.

From this point of view, things are different from what the employees of Matthews Drone Company said. Fred did not reject Frost International because of the Stark Foundation's loan, but because of Frost's investment. Fred cancels his loan from the Stark Foundation.

And judging from the reactions of Stark Industries and Frost International, the two companies did not know that Fred had carried out this operation. And it seems that Fred didn’t even tell his colleagues in the company.

What is certain now is that Fred is short of money, that's for sure. Then it makes sense that he canceled the loan from the Stark Foundation and instead accepted investment from Frost International. From his move to cancel the foundation's loan, we can know that Fred is absolutely satisfied with Frost International's conditions. But why did he later terminate negotiations with Frost International?

What the hell is Fred Matthews doing?

The case is full of doubts, and the clues Richard thought were not clues at all. Now he is not only back to the starting point, but also has more and more doubts.

After get off work, Richard did not go home, but went to Jessica's home in Hell's Kitchen. Jessica was not working the night shift today, and Richard planned to spend the night here. After all, he was flirted with during the day.
