Chapter 36 The Police Plan to Ask Lu About the Car Accident
Mia put down the remote control and looked at Amelia strangely: "Why don't you just ask Jeffrey directly? I remember the Adams Group is one of the show's investors, right?"
Amelia had already mentioned it to Jeffrey on the way back to the hospital.
But bringing this up really pissed Jeffrey off.
"I did go to him." Jeffrey said in the car, "I chewed them out, and they said someone from William's side had put out word, and my brother Zaid was also stirring up trouble in the middle!"
"That's outrageous!"
Jeffrey punched the steering wheel hard and said: "Zaid even went to Dad and told him I was keeping a woman on the side! Said I was making the Adams Group go head-to-head with William over a woman, and I got a good scolding for it."
In short, Zaid had gotten involved in this too.
He kept throwing obstacles in Jeffrey's way. Jeffrey could only do many things secretly or by surprise, otherwise the other side would find all kinds of problems.
Jeffrey had left right after dropping her off at the hospital. He told her not to worry, that all this was temporary. The Adams Group was in his hands after all, and others couldn't reach too far. He would find a way to sort everything out.
It just needed some time.
So now, knowing that someone might have the on-site footage, Amelia wanted to get it as soon as possible.
With this in mind, Amelia told Mia about it.
Mia immediately went to contact the person.
......
Time flew by quickly.
Soon, the next day arrived.
The air after the rainstorm still carried the scent of grass and earth, fresh and clean.
The rain had stopped. In the morning, Mia brought her food and then hurried off to work.
When the hospital room door was knocked on again, Amelia thought Mia had gotten the video, but when she looked up, she saw police officers instead.
It was the female officer Azalea Gray and another male officer, probably her colleague.
"Sorry to disturb you," Azalea said.
Amelia tried to get up, but they immediately told her to just sit up against the bed.
"After we finished taking your statement last time, we've made some progress, so we wanted to come ask you some questions," Azalea said.
Amelia was very cooperative.
"We've found the black Santana that hit you that day. It was a stolen vehicle. The driver was fully covered up, and the surveillance only captured their disguised figure - we couldn't get a face shot."
Azalea told Amelia:
"They have strong counter-surveillance awareness, didn't leave any clues, and even knew how to avoid cameras."
"Clearly an experienced hand." Azalea paused slightly, then said gravely, "We can't rule out the possibility of a professional hitman."
Azalea said: "Think carefully about whether you've offended anyone."
A professional hitman?
Amelia looked at the female officer's grave expression and thought about many things.
In all these years, this was the first time there had been such a direct murder attempt.
The timing was very particular.
It must be related to recent events.
The first thing Amelia thought of was her agreement to divorce William.
If it was about that, then there were two suspects: William and Isabella.
Next were the changes in the news.
Recently, Isabella's death countdown had been all over the place, and she, as William's wife, had naturally been deeply investigated.
So her identity as a daughter of the Martinez family would naturally be easily dug up.
Back then, William had stepped in to protect her and Beatrix, but now with all the online marketing about William and Isabella's relationship, those people would think he was no longer protecting her.
And William's enemies - when the Brown Group transformed with him personally handling it, William had made quite a few enemies.
Not to mention others, there was Louis from the purchasing department who William had suddenly fired for unknown reasons almost a year ago.
Back then, they had just gotten married not long before, and when he dealt with that matter, it was quite unpleasant.
When Louis left, she had seen him once.
At that time, Louis's expression was quite meaningful.
How to describe it - mocking? And somewhat sarcastic?
Finally, he threw a line at William: "William, this is your wife?"
That comment was even stranger.
Because they hadn't hidden their marriage at all. She had been by William's side for seven years, and after graduation, she often went in and out of the Brown Group. How could Louis, as the purchasing department manager, not know her?
She always felt there was something wrong with this, but when she asked William, he refused to talk about it.
Thinking of all this, Amelia told everything to the police.
Hoping the police could solve the case soon.
After the police understood the situation, they left. Finally, Azalea said to Amelia: "By the way, your car seems to be repaired. Remember to pick it up when you're feeling better."
Amelia nodded: "Thank you."
The police left, and Azalea returned to the station with her colleague.
Everyone at the station analyzed the case.
Officers wrote notes next to photos of several people.
They were William, Isabella, Louis, and others.
"These are all suspects. Should we start questioning them?" an officer asked. "Should we first ask her husband about the car accident?"
Azalea remembered how William hadn't answered when she called him from Amelia's phone that day, and said hesitantly: "These people are all connected to each other. Questioning requires some skill."
Beside her, the officer who had gone with Azalea to take Amelia to the hospital that day also nodded.
"His own wife was hit by a car and in the hospital being treated, and he was with his mistress. Called him so many times and he didn't answer. Feels a bit strange."
A nearby officer handed over a file.
"This is the latest information we got," the officer said. "William and Amelia are already going through divorce proceedings. They're currently in the cooling-off period."
The people present looked at each other.
They had handled quite a few cases of men going after their wives for their mistresses.
It might even be done together with the mistress.
After everyone discussed it, the leader finally said: "As part of necessary procedures, we'll eventually need to find William and ask him for relevant information, since it could also be other enemies."
"It's just that the case involves many people with various relationships, and there are gaps in the evidence chain. We need some skill."
The officer looked at Azalea: "Azalea, you'll lead the team on this. You decide on the timing, location, evidence collection, witness interviews, and other matters."
Azalea immediately stood up: "Got it."
......
Meanwhile.
William came to the hospital.
Finn had gotten so angry yesterday that he was admitted to the hospital.
He had come several times but was chased away by Cleo each time.
He had just gotten word that Cleo was tired from taking care of Finn and had gone to a nearby hotel to rest, so he came over.
Pushing open the hospital room door, William saw Finn lying on the bed.
Finn was still unconscious.
A caregiver was turning Finn over, preparing to wipe his back, but even with this movement, Finn still didn't wake up.
You could tell the situation wasn't good.
Inexplicably, Amelia's figure appeared before his eyes.
He remembered that when Finn was seriously ill, she was the one who took care of him.
Seeing the caregiver's rough movements, struggling halfway through and almost dropping Finn, William quickly stepped forward and helped.
Very heavy.
Amelia's thin figure appeared before William's eyes again. She had never mentioned any of this to him.
