Roan was immediately interested when he heard that Mona had found a clue about another deceased person.
"Loel Post was an architect and he had a small business."
Mona pulled out the construction company's information, showed it to Luo An, and said:
“A month and a half ago, this company had some problems with its capital chain.
But it didn’t take long for the company to have new funding to plug the gap. "
Luo An sat on the chair and said with a smile:
"If I guess correctly, the owner behind this fund is Tris."
Snapped!
Mona raised her hand and snapped her fingers to indicate that Luo An had guessed correctly. She continued to type on the keyboard a few times and said:
“This amount of money is quite large, and Tris can’t afford it herself.
The only explanation I can think of is that Trish used her position as CFO to embezzle funds from the cosmetics company. "
Luo An nodded, this was also his guess.
"And one more thing."
Immediately afterwards, Mona called up another piece of information, which contained a consumption record:
"This is Loire's consumption record at a well-known French restaurant in Manhattan a month ago.
I checked the restaurant's dining status and found out that Loelle had booked the restaurant for two hours that night in order to propose to Tris. "
"Um?"
Hearing this, Luo An immediately straightened up and became interested.
Looking carefully at the time of the proposal, Luo An raised his eyebrows and asked:
"The time Lacey mentioned before that Tris and Loelle broke up seemed to be the day after the proposal."
"That's right!"
Mona nodded heavily:
"Although I don't know what exactly happened during the proposal, but according to the waiter in the restaurant, the two were very unhappy that night."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Luo An put his chin on his hand and leaned back on the chair.
Loel and Tris have been together for more than two years. Lo El's company had problems, and Tris also misappropriated company funds to help him. No matter how you look at it, it looks like they are in love.
But why did Tris reject Loel's proposal?
After a long silence, Luo An suddenly thought of something and asked:
"I remember Loel had a younger brother?"
Mona looked at the information and nodded.
——
The next day, morning.
In Queens, in the construction company, after learning of Roan and Mona's intentions, Loel's brother Trent Post shook his head:
"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about my brother's proposal."
After hearing this, the smile on Mona's face slowly disappeared, while the smile on Luo An's face grew brighter:
"Are you sure about this, Mr. Post?"
"Why, can't it?"
Trent narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Under federal law, I have the authority to refuse to answer your questions."
"Of course you have that authority, but we also have the authority to investigate anyone in connection with a criminal matter."
He and Mona poured a cup of coffee and took a sip. Luo An said with a smile:
"This means we can subpoena your call records and emails.
As well as your online browsing history at night, etc. "
"What did you say?"
Trent's expression changed, and Luo An continued to speak unhurriedly:
"In addition, according to our investigation, there are some problems with the financial status of your brother's construction company. We have the right to investigate its operating status and financial information..."
"OK! OK!"
After hearing this, Trent, who owned shares in this construction company, finally couldn't sit still, and slowly squeezed out a stiff smile on his face:
"Don't be so serious, Mr. Agent.
What question did you ask just now? What happened with my brother's proposal, right, I do know something. "
"Then say it."
Putting the coffee cup back on the table, Luo An curled his lips. The quality of the coffee was too low to taste, and then he stared closely at Trent's expression and movements when he spoke.
Seeing the disgusted expression on Luo An's face, Trent twitched the corner of his mouth, pondered for a few seconds and slowly said:
“My brother’s proposal failed that night and he tried to win the woman back but ended up breaking up with her.
The main reason for the breakup was that the woman said she could fall in love with my brother, but not get married, because she was under too much pressure, her life was too crazy, etc.
Hearing these reasons, my brother was very angry and thought she was just prevaricating herself.
But my brother really liked that woman, so for more than a month, he always came to me for a drink. "
Luo An continued to ask:
"Did your brother ever mention the pressure and madness that Tris spoke of?"
"No."
Trent shook his head:
"My brother didn't tell me, and I don't think he knew.
If my brother had known, maybe he wouldn't have broken up with that woman, right? "
"Mr. Post."
As soon as Trent finished speaking, Luo An patted his thighs and stood up, with the smile on his face unchanged:
"The information shows that you graduated from Harvard University.
As a top student at Harvard University, why would you choose to lie in front of FBI agents? "
Upon hearing this, Mona, who was recording something on the side, hurriedly stopped what she was doing, and then cast a cold look at Trent.
In Mona's perception, if Luo An means that the other party is lying, then the other party must be lying.
"What?"
Trent was stunned for a moment, with a trace of panic in his eyes.
Luo An took a step forward, his smile remained the same but his tone was cold:
"When you talk, you pull your collar, your eyes are erratic, and your words and physical behavior are completely opposite... Mr. Trent, has anyone ever told you that you are actually very good at lying?"
"me……"
Seeing the cold light in Luo An's eyes in front of him, Trent broke into a cold sweat and didn't know what to say.
Snapped!
When Luo An saw this, he slammed the table hard, startling Trent.
Then Luo An turned back directly and said to Mona:
"Call the team leader. Trent Post has concealed things from the FBI many times and hindered our investigation. Apply now..."
"No!"
Before Luo An finished speaking, Trent hurriedly shouted:
"I said! I said everything!"
Mona, who was taking out her cell phone, heard this and cast an admiring look at Luo An calmly.
The corners of Luo An's mouth curled up slightly, it was just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning.
The office was quiet for a long time. Facing Luo An's cold eyes, Trent opened his mouth and finally told what he had hidden.
"Actually, my brother's proposal to Tris had another purpose."
Trent picked up the coffee, poured it all into his stomach, and said:
"That is to find a way to get the shares of that cosmetics company through Tris."
After graduating from college and working hard in the society for so many years, Loel had a small company, but its operating conditions had been poor.
It happened that Loel met Tris at that time, so he came up with the idea of relying on Tris to reach the top of his life.
"..."x2
Hearing Trent's narration, Luo An was speechless, while Mona's face was full of contempt.
As a woman, she is disgusted with this kind of deception under the guise of love.
After pondering for a few seconds, Luo An asked with some confusion:
“Tris was just the CFO of that cosmetics company.
By what method does Loel want to get the company's shares from her? "
"My brother didn't tell me the detailed method."
Trent swallowed and said truthfully:
"But one time my brother was drunk and he said that the cosmetics company, in a sense, the female boss was just a puppet, and the real person in charge was actually CFO Trish Perez."
"What?"
Hearing this, Mona suddenly raised her head in shock.
