Chapter 190 Jane: You know the detective so well not because of his(1/2)

Chapter 190 Jane: You are so familiar with the detective, isn’t it because of his daughter and niece?

"What kind of criminals are there around here?"

Jane looked at Detective Rostenkoski: "Can you get the latest news on the nearby criminal circle?"

"You mean Scarlet is selling calves?"

Detective Rostenkoski finally understood what Jane meant and shouted in disbelief: "Impossible!"

The chairman of the women's committee, who was the top housewife in the town, suddenly turned into a criminal. This turn of events was too big to be imagined.

"Detective, how do you explain the continued deposit of this large amount of cash?"

Jane looked at him in surprise. He clearly mentioned depositing large amounts of cash regularly, and everyone looked at each other knowingly.

"I thought……"

Detective Rostenkoski subconsciously wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words he spoke and waved his hands: "Forget it, I may have been wrong. You should be right."

"..."

Jane twitched the corner of her mouth and glanced at Chuck.

Chuck looked calm.

He knew what Detective Rostenkoski was thinking. He was not necessarily a criminal if he suddenly deposited large sums of cash on a regular basis. Compared to the identity of the deceased, it was more reasonable to go back to the past and engage in the oldest profession inherited by mankind.

Ordinary people, such as Hailey, the eldest sister in Alex's eyes, even if they are engaged in this ancient and inherited profession, they do not have the earning power comparable to that of selling calves. After all, it is just a labor-intensive industry, making hard money.

However, the career of the deceased's husband and his status as the chairman of the women's committee of the deceased gave him the opportunity to come into contact with a large number of wealthy and well-established people. With this status, he could earn a premium income comparable to that of selling calves.

It's just that one's life is at stake, and even if Detective Rostenkoski had thought of this, it would be hard to say it in public without confirmation.

"Whether it is true or not, just ask someone to find out."

It was difficult for Jane to break Detective Rostenkoski's male brain circuit, so she suppressed her complaints: "Detective, can you please invite that Gloria Pritchett to come in and have a chat?"

"good."

Detective Rostenkoski went out to invite him in person, just in time to relieve the discomfort caused by Jane's look just now.

"Do you think I'm right, or do you think Detective Rostenkoski is right?"

Jane took advantage of this opportunity and couldn't help complaining to Chuck: "Is it true that men's first reaction is to involve the emperor rather than the calf?"

"This is normal."

Chuck said calmly: "The emperor bets on the calf, the emperor is the oldest, and it also involves the need for reproduction, which is engraved in human DNA. Most people can avoid being involved in the bet and the calf, but they can hardly avoid an emperor.

Character."

"It's really scientific and reasonable."

Jane rolled her eyes at Chuck who was too candid and calm.

The words may be true, but the taste always feels a little wrong.

"Gloria, this is Dr. Chuck Wolfe, the Bureau's consultant, and this is his assistant, Jane Banner."

Detective Rostenkoski led the Colombian girl, whose figure and Beth Bolander were childhood friends, in and introduced both parties.

"Yeah, yeah, I know you."

Gloria pointed at Chuck excitedly: "You worked as an accountant for my husband Jay. He often talked about you and said you would be successful."

"Mrs. Pritchett."

Jane spoke up to draw attention to herself: "You are one of the members of the town's Women's Committee. You must have a close relationship with Scarlet, right?"

"certainly!"

Gloria's expression darkened: "I can join the Women's Committee only because of Scarlet. She is a very good friend and never discriminates against us outsiders."

After saying this, she said excitedly: "You must find out who killed her!"

"We will work hard."

Jian nodded and said, "Do you know what enemies Scarlet has?"

"She has no enemies."

Gloria shook her head: "Everyone likes her very much, except Claire, but it can't be Claire!"

"I heard that in addition to being a housewife and the chairperson of the Women's Committee, she also sells homemade jewelry part-time?"

Jane didn't bother whether Claire was the murderer or not, and went straight to the point.

"right."

Gloria showed her side face to everyone: "Did you see it? These are the earrings made by Scarlet. They are very artistic. She is so talented. Such a good person represents my biggest fantasy when I came to the United States. But

Why do we encounter such terrible things in a place like Ping'an Town? This is not Colombia, it should be very safe!"

"yes."

Jane couldn't help but glance at Gloria's domineering figure, then glanced at Chuck, and said insincerely: "Many people come to settle in Ping An Town because of the word Ping An."

"right!"

When Gloria saw Jane agreeing with her, she became even more excited. She waved her arms and stared to strengthen her tone: "This is not what I imagined America should be like at all!"

"Welcome to the real America."

Jian opened his hand: "By the way, how much does this earring cost?"

"You mean this one?"

Gloria touched her earrings, thought about it and said, "It's not expensive, only 20 US dollars."

"Really."

Jane glanced at Chuck and Detective Rostenkoski and said tentatively: "It's so artistic and you like it so much. I thought it would be very expensive."

Gloria tilted her head and touched her earrings, smiling awkwardly but politely.

Everyone will agree.

There is no problem with free words and flattery, and spending a little money to support the Chairman's part-time job, but if they really have to spend a lot of money to buy these with the high premium of art, then I'm sorry, they can only be embarrassed and lose their money.

He smiled politely and said nothing.

No one is a fool!

Besides, if our Chairman really had such a high level of artistic accomplishment, people would have rushed to buy it, so why would they need to pay for it?

"A pair of earrings costs US$20, so other jewelry is almost in the same price range?"

Jane looked at Gloria and said: "Even if this homemade jewelry is all profit, if you want to achieve an income of 5,000 US dollars, you still need to sell 250 pieces. Are there so many people in the town to buy it?"

"There are not so many."

Gloria immediately shook her head.

Although Ping'an Town is not a small town and has many housewives and girls, not everyone is willing to spend this money.

Only those who met Scarlet often and were not short of money would be willing to spend money to buy or even buy a few more pieces.

But no matter how you calculate it, there can't be as many as 250 pieces.

"This is interesting."

Jane said meaningfully: "The volume of about 250 pieces is weekly and has been going on for several weeks, so the total volume may have exceeded a thousand pieces. Did you really not notice it at all?"

"impossible!"

Gloria's eyes widened: "Even if we include the nearby towns, it's impossible to sell so many!"

"You are often with her, do you think besides selling jewelry, what other part-time job can she have to earn so much cash?"

Jane looked at Gloria carefully.

"Cash? So much?"

Gloria murmured a few words, then noticed Jane's gaze and stared: "Are you doubting me? Just because I'm from Colombia?!"

When she said this, she crossed her arms, matched with the leopard-print skirt on her body, and her glaring expression, showing her wild and ferocious nature: "In your eyes, anyone who comes from Colombia is a criminal, don't you! Do you think I am giving Si

Carlite supplies the calf products and then gives her so much cash income, right?"

"Don't get excited, I believe Assistant Banner doesn't mean that."

Detective Rostenkoski quickly smoothed things over: "Right, Assistant Banner?"

"I didn't mean that."

Jane was also a little confused. She just wanted to see if Gloria knew some inside information, so why did she get involved in this?

"Stop lying!"

Gloria's eyes widened, she waved her finger, pointed at Jane, and spat: "I'm very familiar with this look, this is discrimination! Oh, you are from abroad, so you are poor and ignorant, oh

, you have a hot body but you married an old man, you must be greedy for his family property, oh, you come from Colombia where drug lords are rampant, so it must be related to the trade of cattle!

I've had enough! This is all bullshit! Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you! My sister is also a police officer! She is also a senior detective in the NYPD 99 Branch Major Crimes Division. She can be the kind of police chief in this small place! I am now
