  The bullet was fired from the muzzle of the gun, and entered the target's body very precisely, causing the target to tremble...

  Cough cough.

  Roan's marksmanship was very accurate, three bullets hit the left front wheel of the red car, and the remaining two bullets hit the left rear wheel.

  The red car that was turning lost its balance in an instant, and slanted into the trees on the side of the road.

  Slowly parked the SUV to the side of the road, Roan held a Glock 18, and walked slowly to the side of the smoking car in a guard posture.

   The driver was indeed Millard Thompson.

  Because he obeyed the traffic rules and was wearing a seat belt while driving, the injury was not serious, it was just a broken thigh + coma.

   According to the usual practice, Roan took out his mobile phone and called an ambulance.

  Just after hanging up the phone, Mona called him again.

   Seeing this, Luo An hurriedly pressed the answer button:

   "How's it going, Mona, are you okay?"

   "What can I do?"

  Hearing that Roan cared about her, Mona was a little happy, but the content of the words still made her roll her eyes.

   Anyway, she, Mona, was also trained at the FBI Academy, so she has no problem with basic fighting skills and marksmanship.

   But now is not the time to talk about this, Mona smiled and said to the phone:

   "I mean, Roan, thanks for letting me stay."

  Luo An frowned when he heard this:

   "Mary Anne tried to assault you?"

"of course not."

  Mona on the other end of the phone smiled and replied:

   "But I found two interesting things in her house."

  —

  That afternoon, in the interrogation room of the No. 5 investigation team.

  Millard Thompson, with a bandage on his head and a plaster cast on his thigh, was sitting in a wheelchair, looking darkly at Roan and Mona across the interrogation table.

  Selectively ignoring the unhappy expression on Millard Thompson's face, when Mona got ready for the laptop, Roan took a sip of coffee, coughed lightly and asked:

   "Millard Thompson, you..."

   Before Roan could finish speaking, Millard shouted loudly:

   "I tell you, I didn't kill Brent!

  His death has nothing to do with me! I had no intention of killing him at all! "

"Yeah?"

  Roan frowned and asked:

   "Then why did you run away?"

   "Because I don't trust you FBI."

  Millard said disdainfully:

   "I have a criminal record, and I also had **** with Brent's wife. You will definitely identify me as the murderer."

   "Wow, you really have a clear understanding of yourself."

  Hearing what Millard said, Roan nodded and shook his head, then took a few pieces of paper from his side, threw them in front of Millard, and said:

   "But we suspect you for more than that.

  Mary Anne said to us, you went drinking with friends last night.

   But we asked all your friends, but we didn't find any trace of you drinking with any friend.

  So, where were you at around 11:30 last night? "

  Millard's face froze when he heard this, and after he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, he still said the same thing:

   "I didn't kill Millard, I didn't kill him."

  Seeing Millard's attitude, Roan pondered for a few seconds, tilted his head and looked at Mona, who nodded, and took out the two pieces of paper from under the laptop.

  These two pieces of paper are the two interesting discoveries that Mona mentioned.

   One of them is the test report from the hospital.

   "Millard, did you know that Mary Anne is pregnant, and it shows that she has been pregnant for four and a half weeks."

   Looking at the report card in front of him, Millard had no expression on his face.

   Neither joy nor surprise.

   Seeing this, Roan kept smiling, but handed another piece of paper to Millard's eyes:

   "This one is the abortion operation scheduled by Mary Anne, and the time is just two weeks later."

  Hearing this, Millard's body trembled suddenly, and then he hurriedly turned his gaze to the paper on the table.

  Seeing Millard's face of bewilderment, which then became increasingly ugly, Roan took a sip of coffee calmly, and then added fire:

   "Brent and Mary Anne have been divorced for a year, if I'm not mistaken, this child is yours.

  Looking at you, Mary Anne seems to have told you that she is going to abort this child..."

   "Fu-k! This **** mark..."

  Hearing Roan's words, Millard's face turned a little bit liver-colored.

   After being silent for a while, Millard knocked **** the judgment table, and said in a hoarse voice:

   "I want to see a lawyer."

  —

  Outside the interrogation room, the office area of ​​the No. 5 investigation team.

   "How about it, Roan."

  Augus held a box of hamburgers and distributed them to the agents of the No. 5 investigation team one by one. Finally, he walked up to Roan and asked with a smile:

   "What's going on with Millard?"

   "Still discussing with the lawyer, but we already know the truth on his side. Lacey and Ryder have also gone to arrest Mary Anne."

   After taking a bite of the burger, Roan shrugged, saying that this story is nothing new.

  The husband is always busy with work and neglects his wife. The wife is so lonely that she has a passionate double row with the plumber.

  The specific situation of double rows. There are many license plates in the island country that have been demonstrated in detail. If necessary, please move to the browser.

   For things like double row games, if there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three. In short, in the end, the matter developed smoothly to the route of divorce-demand for alimony-murder of the ex-husband.

  Augus nodded:

   "So, the truth of this case is that Mary Anne used the reason of pregnancy to ask Millard to kill her ex-husband Brent.

   On the surface, after Brent died, the two shared Brent's money together.

   In fact, Mary Anne planned to send Millard to prison afterwards, kill the child herself, and then enjoy Brent's money to herself? "

   Speaking of this, Augustus looked very complicated, and he didn't know what he thought of.

  Hearing what Augustus said, Roan swallowed the hamburger in his mouth, shrugged and said:

   "According to normal circumstances, this case did develop like this.

  But things will not always develop according to human plans, so some minor accidents occurred during the specific actions of the case. "

  Augus froze when he heard this, biting the hamburger. After thinking for a few seconds, he tilted his head and asked:

   "Could it be that something went wrong when Millard went to kill Brent?

  For example, when Millard arrives, Brent is already dead? "

   "Exactly."

  Roan nodded, indicating that things were similar to what Augustus thought.

  The location agreed upon by Millard and Brent was indeed the park at the scene of the crime.

   But before Millard passed, Brent was killed by someone else.

  Because the murderer threw Brent's body into the river, Millard waited for several hours without waiting for anyone, blowing the cold wind all night in vain.

   This is also the reason why Millard was still discussing with the lawyer now.

  Millard's behavior was clearly an attempted murder.

  In the United States, for attempted homicide, the penalty will vary depending on factors such as the criminal suspect's criminal record, behavioral motives, and weapons used. Sometimes it will be a misdemeanor, and sometimes it will be a felony.

   "OK."

  After listening to Roan's description, Augustus, who ate the hamburger in a few mouthfuls, patted his stomach, tilted his head and asked:

   "So, we're back where we started, right?"

   "No."

  Roan, who had just finished eating half of the hamburger, shook his head, wiped his hands, took out a piece of paper from the side, handed it to Augustus and said with a smile:

   "I found a new lead.

   This thing is probably the real reason why the murderer killed Brent Hughes. "
