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

The employee did not answer Richard, but looked at the other employees hesitantly.

Richard hurriedly stood in front of the man. He used his body to block the sight of the employee from communicating with other people. At the same time, he stared into the man's eyes and said: "Hey look at me, look at me. What's your name?" what name"

The man hesitated and said, "Jack, Jack Brown."

"Jack, I want you to understand that there's a death here. A guy who worked with you is dead on the front stage. It's not a joke, he's dead. So if you know something, don't If you hesitate, tell me now.”

Jack avoided Richard's gaze. He hesitated before speaking: "I didn't mean to hide it. I just didn't know whether I should say it because I wasn't sure whether it was true."

"It doesn't matter. You are just responsible for telling what you know. Let me judge whether it is true or false."

"Jack, say".

"Shut up. If you dare to say another word, I will arrest you for obstructing the investigation." Richard turned around and interrupted the clerk behind him. After seeing the man give up, Richard turned back and continued. Stare into Jack's eyes.

Jack calmed down his emotions and said slowly: "About a week ago, Fred received a notice that Frost International planned to invest in our company in exchange for 75% of the company's shares."

"That Frost from Frost International Frost Building" Richard asked with a frown.

"Yes, that's the one," Jack replied.

Richard and Sharon looked at each other. Richard then asked: "So, is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"It's a good thing. Our funds have been somewhat difficult recently. This can help us tide over the difficulties, and it is only good for us to ride on Frost's coattails. But three days ago, Fred suddenly terminated the negotiations."

"why"

"Fred got a startup loan from the Stark Foundation, which solved our immediate financial difficulties, so Fred didn't plan to sell any more shares. But that angered Frost's representatives. I heard, that The negotiator has said he's going to make us pay."

At this time, a staff member behind him said: "It's not the price, it's the life."

Richard turned back to the speaker and asked, "Are you?"

"Just call me Allen. I was there when Fred negotiated. What the man said was that this stupid decision will kill you."

"Why didn't you just say what you were hiding?"

"You misunderstood Detective, we didn't hide anything, we were just a little scared. Now that Fred is dead, we have to think about our future. Provoking a giant like Frost will bring us unimaginable consequences." Trouble."

Richard squinted at Alan in front of him, and then he scanned the people present. Richard felt something was wrong. There must be something else that they were hiding. The reasons given by Alan were reasonable, but Richard just couldn't believe Alan.

Richard suddenly asked Jack again: "Is that what he said?"

Jack was startled, then replied, "Yes."

"what is"

Jack gave Richard a strange look, and then said: "Frost International will make our next work very difficult."

"Then are you afraid?"

"Of course I'm afraid. Fred died like this on the stage in front. If I mean, if Frost International really did it, then we are also in danger."

This is how normal people should react to this

Fred died here, and Frost International had threatened these people. Instead of telling the truth, these people were trying to push back and forth. Isn't it more terrifying to not be able to find a job than to have their lives threatened?

Richard knew that these people had problems, but he had no evidence. He could not arrest Allen and others for interrogation now. Moreover, it would be a slow process to start with them. He now had a more important goal of negotiating with Frost International. people.
