Power of Money novel Chapter 225

"Someone died?" Jason was stunned and could not help but stop.

Yennie still maintained a cold face. She stood next to Jason and whispered, "A bodyguard at the back door died. The murderer is probably already inside the house. Uncle Dong is investigating it. It's not appropriate for you to expose your identity now. Let's go to the conference room to see Chief Shen first."

Jason nodded and explained to Elanie. Then he left with Yennie.

Elanie looked at the back of the two people with confusion. When she thought about what had happened when she first met Jason, a very absurd idea appeared in her mind.

In the conference room on the third floor.

The date- red wooden furniture, dark red carpet. Several old high-ranking men sitting in the middle. The whole atmosphere was very serious.

Jason stood next to Yennie, looking at David who was with a dark face, Jay, and two middle- aged men who he had never met before. After thinking for a while, he didn't say anything.

"Jason, let's get to know each other first. This is your second uncle, Wyatt Chen, vice secretary of the Ministry of Political and Law in the Capital City. He is the closest to your mother, and he has hugged you when you were a baby..."

David pointed to the middle-aged man, who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and had an inch-long and half-white hair, and introduced him.

"Second uncle?"

Wasn't he Jessica's father?

Jason was stunned for a moment. He quickly nodded and said, "Nice to meet you, Uncle Wyatt."

Wyatt smiled. At the same time, David reached out to another middle-aged man in a white shirt and introduced, "This is your youngest uncle, the deputy minister of the Public Security Department in the Capital City, Corey Jiang. When you were lost at that time, he almost resigned to find you. These years, he has been concerned about your affairs. Today, he specifically asked for leave to see you..."

"Hello, uncle Corey."

Looking at these big shots of the whole police system in the country, Jason couldn't help but look at Jay from the corner of his eyes. He also had a general understanding of the connection between them.

"All right, you uncles and nephew, let's talk about it later. Let's listen to Yennie's report about the situation first." David patted the sofa aside and beckoned Jason to sit down.

"Okay, I'll make a long story short."

"The deceased named Bryce Wu, retired from the army, 42 years old, belonged to the Shen's Group's security department. He was responsible for guarding the backyard of the villa tonight. When he was discovered, he got stabbed three times. Two were stabbed in his lower abdomen. The fatal injury was in the throat. He was killed with one shot. Before he died, he didn't call for help. His body was discovered when the guards changed the duty. There was no clues left on the spot. According to our preliminary inference, the murderer had sneaked into the villa with unknown purpose."

Yennie briefly reported.

"When the deceased was killed, was he the only one who was on duty?" Jay asked.

"Well, according to the arrangement of the guards, it should be two person in one team and a change in three hours. But at that time, another bodyguard received a transfer order from Uncle Dong and went to the front yard to check out the guests who entered the scene. The time of his leaving was about 17 minutes. The time of the murderer's crime should be during this period," Yennie said.

Two person in one team.

Jason frowned and asked subconsciously, "What time is his death time?"

"Ah? It's between 7:00 to 7:17," Yennie replied.

Hearing this, Jason frowned even more tightly.

"What's wrong? Have you seen that person before?"

David noticed the change in his son's expression.

"No, but I seemed to be there at that time..."

Jason recalled. If he remembered correctly, it was just after half past six when he greeted Mary at the door and went to the back door to look for Elanie.

After he went to the backyard, Elanie persuaded the security guards, and then they had a conversation in the backyard. After thoes, it should be close to 7 o'clock when he left.

In other words, it was possible that the murderer had appeared at the back door shortly after he had left. Then he killed the bodyguard and sneaked into the villa.

So... He might brush past the murderer?

Fear, doubt... All kinds of complex emotions welled up in his mind for a moment.

At this time, David winked at Yennie. Yennie nodded and turned to leave the meeting room.
