Forty minutes after Daigo Manor caught fire, the first fire truck finally arrived to put out the fire.
At this time, Zhang Jing was still driving to the airport.
Although the location of Daigo Manor is a little better than that of Kanfen Farm, it is also very remote, half a pound to eight ounces, which is about the same, so the fire trucks are slow to arrive.
Coupled with gas, gasoline, and strong winds, the fire was very large and violent. When the fire truck arrived, the entire villa had been engulfed in flames.
In the next hour, more fire trucks arrived, and by the time they put out the fire, the villa was reduced to nothing but its frame.
The police also came to the scene. Because they could not contact the manor owner himself, they called Jennifer several times. Jennifer could not contact Nayel because the phone was not in the service area, so she called Zhang Jing.
Zhang Jing was going through the security check, waiting to board the plane, and answered the ding-ding phone call.
"Hello Ms. Jennifer," Zhang Jing greeted in a relaxed tone, "Happy Christmas holiday."
Jennifer was not happy at all, and begged anxiously, "Please help me go to Daigo Manor. There was a fire there and Nayel was missing. I am on my way here and will not arrive until six hours later."
Zhang Jing readily agreed, "I'll go there now, it may take two hours."
Jennifer thanked her and hung up the phone in a hurry.
The direct distance from the airport to Daigo Manor is about 100 kilometers, and it takes an hour and a half to drive there. By this time, a cordon has been set up at the entrance of the manor, and some police officers are busy.
"Who are you?" A fat policeman stopped Zhang Jing and asked.
"I am a friend of Mr. Nayer," Zhang Jing explained, "Ms. Jennifer called me and asked me to come over to make sure he was okay."
"We found human skeletons in the wreckage of the villa. We need Mr. Nayel's close relatives to provide DNA samples and compare the DNA test results to confirm the identity."
Zhang Jing appropriately showed his uneasiness and didn't say anything. He returned to the car and reported the situation to Jennifer on the phone.
Six hours later, Jennifer arrived in a hurry.
Jennifer had many conversations with the police, during which time they talked about safes.
Because she had lived on Farm 25 for a long time, with horses, and been married for three years, Jennifer had only been to Daigo Manor once, and she vaguely remembered a large safe, about the size of a bedside table.
"There is no safe in the ruins of the villa," the policeman confirmed. "It was stolen."
"So this was a home invasion?" Jennifer asked.
"It's too early to draw conclusions now," the policeman said, looking very wise. "Did Mr. Nayel have any enmity with anyone else?"
After thinking for two or three seconds, Jennifer shook her head, "Probably not."
"You usually live in Seattle," the police asked many questions, "Why did Mr. Nayel come to Los Angeles alone during the holidays?"
"It's a gathering of friends."
The policeman looked at Zhang Jing and said, "Mr. Zhang, when was the last time you saw Mr. Nayer?"
This question seems ordinary, but in fact it is shocking every step of the way. Once the answer is wrong or there are loopholes in the answer, Zhang Jing will immediately get into trouble.
Especially on the road, you are likely to be photographed by someone else's driving recorder.
In order to be closer to the truth, Zhang Jing answered based on the answer determined in advance, "Around 9:20 in the morning."
The policeman was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Zhang Jing to have met Nayer before the incident. "What did you talk about? Why do you remember the time so clearly?"
"When Mr. Nayer called me, I was about to go to the airport to fly to Madrid for a business trip, so I kept my eyes on the time; the conversation was about joining a coal mine, which I refused."
The police officer looked to Jennifer for confirmation.
"There is such a thing," Jennifer confirmed, "a coal mining right in the country of Thousand Islands needs a partner."
At this point, Jennifer looked at Zhang Jing and asked, "Why did Mr. Zhang refuse?"
"Mr. Nayer asked for a large kickback," Zhang Jing said with a helpless expression, "I was just a middleman. I couldn't afford it and it was unprofitable, so we parted ways."
Jennifer had no extra expression.
"See you
Was there anyone else at the estate when Mr. Nayer arrived? "The police asked Zhang Jing.
"There are two middle-aged men, both over 1.8 meters tall. They look strong and dressed casually. They are Mr. Nayer's employees. I have seen them before."
"Ms. Jennifer, do you know the two employees Mr. Zhang mentioned?"
"Yes, they are retired Coast Guard soldiers with good protection capabilities. They are employees and bodyguards. Nayel has hired them for more than three years."
It is not uncommon for bodyguards to kill bosses. For the police, the top priority now is to detect the DNA of the skeleton.
"Mr. Zhang," the police officer leading the team reminded, "please do not leave Los Angeles for the time being. If necessary, we will ask you to cooperate with the investigation."
The fate is amazing. The last time I planned to go to Madrid, I couldn’t go because of Nayel.
This time it was because of Nayer that he had to temporarily give up flying to Madrid.
Zhang Jing nodded and said, "This is what I should do."
With nothing else to do, Zhang Jing said goodbye to Jennifer and left Daigo Manor in a black x5 bulletproof car.
Watching Zhang Jing walk away, Jennifer asked the leading police officer, "Is it possible that Zhang Jing is the murderer?"
"Impossible," the sergeant laughed. "He will never be able to defeat the Coast Guard members. They are professionally trained and very capable."
"Zhang Jing and his employees have legally killed no less than 10 people," Jennifer reminded the leading police officer. "He himself has killed at least four people, and once escaped an attack on the highway. He has very strong adaptability. "
The police officer leading the team was shocked and immediately investigated Zhang Jing's information.
Public information shows that Zhang Jing may have a lot of silver. A gangster invaded the racecourse and his employees killed six people.
Zhang Jing himself was followed by robbers for transporting 2 tons of silver on the highway, and two people were killed.
On the salvage ship, because the crew wanted to rape Zhang Jing's girlfriend, the captain and first mate issued death threats, but were killed again.
In Burlington, a home was lawfully searched in connection with a missing man and woman.
After reading the public information, the police officer leading the team thought for seven or eight seconds and asked Jennifer, "If it is Zhang Jing, what is his motive?"
"Nayel asked for kickbacks from him, and there was no discussion between the two parties. Doesn't that count as a motive?" Jennifer asked the leading police sergeant.
"The coal mining rights are in the hands of you and your wife. Why did Mr. Nayer ask for kickbacks from Zhang Jing?" the police sergeant leading the team asked.
"Our husband and wife's finances are separate, and each earns his own money," Jennifer explained, "so it is indeed possible that Nayel asked Zhang Jing for kickbacks to help Zhang Jing get more shares from me."
"So Zhang Jing is getting closer to Mr. Nayer. It was Zhang Jing who told us about the kickback," the sergeant leading the team shook his head. "This motive is too weak. Zhang Jing just refuses. There is no need to kill anyone, let alone him." No one can handle two retired Coast Guard soldiers."
"How do you know he has no helpers?" Jennifer asked, "What if he bribed my husband's bodyguard in advance?"
Jennifer was a little emotional, and the police sergeant who led the team was speechless and reminded: "There must be a motive for killing."
"I hope you will name Zhang Jing as one of the suspects," Jennifer said, waving the money stick. "You will receive a donation of 50,000 yuan."
Money can make a difference, the police officer leading the team agreed.
