Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 69

The few policemen looked at each other. After thinking about it for a long time, they failed to find that there was an inconsistency with Adelaide’s confession. The head policeman always felt that things were not that simple. He was not blind. When Adelaide spoke, she avoided eye contact with him. He didn’t know what her one hand was doing behind her back. So the other hand she put in front attracted his attention even more.

"Mrs. Baron, is the statement I wrote down okay?" He briefly repeated what Adelaide had said. After speaking, the policeman stared at Adelaide's eyes again, "I have to tell you fabricating evidence is a crime! "

Adelaide took a deep breath. Her beautiful eyes widened so big. She rarely lied. Facing such a group of policemen, she was a little fright and even more guilty.

"Don't scare her. If you don't believe her, you can go to the hospital to investigate. Anyway, we have spare money to raise you idlers!"

The work of the police was not so easy. If it was diligent and honest policemen with a sense of justice, they would always be so busy that they couldn’t go home nor had time to spend time with their children.

But if someone just wanted to goof off, being a policeman would be good choice.

Those policemen couldn't bear Antonio's sarcasm. The head policeman looked like sophisticated. He grinned, "It’s just the routine. Mrs. Baron, don’t be scared. Then we won't bother you two. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned around and his flattering attitude just now was gone. His several colleagues around him helped him wear sunglasses and took away the notebook in his hand.

After they left, Antonio squinted his eyes and said, "Miss Hanna, don’t you say you have something to deal with? Then you can leave!"

Hanna glared at him. She knew that Adelaide and Antonio had something to say. If she was here, it would be inconvenient for them to talk. So she didn't argue with Antonio. She just took Adelaide's hand, "Call me if something happens. I will come right away."

Adelaide nodded and waved goodbye to her.

Antonio originally had so many questions to ask Adelaide. But after others left, he didn't think it was necessary to ask her again. He had just misunderstood Adelaide's intentions. He dropped his head, "Adelaide, I want to say sorry to you! "

Adelaide was confused, "What?"

"I thought you were going to tell them where Clarissa has lived."

It was rare for Mr. Antonio to apologize. Adelaide was so surprised. She was used to that he just went his way and that he never apologized. Suddenly he said sorry to her, it was really hard for her to accept.

She suddenly flushed and then shook her head, "I'm just telling the truth."

Antonio didn't understand the truth of the matter, so he believed Adelaide's words. There was a strange emotion rushing into his heart secretly. He felt that Grandma was right. Adelaide was really kind.

He once again had some doubts about his brother’s matter.

The next day was the deadline for Antonio to find out the facts. If Koby were still alive, things wouldn't have been delayed for so long.

Although Antonio was sitting in the office, he was uneasy. After several days of tireless advertising, Mr. Antonio finally found his second secretary, an excellent new graduate.

The person who could pass Antonio’s interview was definitely by no means a clumsy person. Antonio gave him all the information. Two days had passed since the incident, but there were still no clues. Antonio found that he could not sit still and just wait. He got up to go to Judicial Expertise Department.

"Antonio, didn't you say that you will definitely give everyone an explanation after seven days?" The lead was Matthew Baron, Antonio's uncle!

Today, Matthew wore black and red suit. The white shirt inside was so tidy, and the shoes were polished brightly. He thought that it was Koby who help Antonio built those good reputation.

Now, Koby was dead, which meant that Antonio had no one to help him. Matthew wanted to see who was the winner today.

Matthew squinted. Last time, those people who came to Antonio’s office were some of the shareholders. Today, all the shareholders of the Baron Group came to his office. Most of them didn’t really come here for voting the next president, because they knew their own abilities. The purpose why they came here was to see how Mr. Antonio got downfall.

Then, they could take the opportunity to mock Antonio to get back at him for those mean things he had done to them.

"Uncle, we have a deal, which is seven days. It's only ten o'clock in the morning. You can't wait?" Antonio calmed his mind. As soon as he let the group of people go away, he immediately went to find a judicial expert himself.

Matthew pretended to have a kind smile. His father and Antonio’s grandfather started the business together. Only because his father wasn’t so clever, Antonio’s grandfather could have the chance to take over the company. After several years, his family just had very few shares left. Otherwise, how could a brat compete with him for the position of the president?

He raised his head, thinking about he finally could get back what belonged to him today! But he still smiled, "Antonio, it’s not me who can’t wait. Your mistress has embezzled the company's 300 million dollars. I think you have been busy with dealing with that secretary’s matter these days. I am afraid that you have no time to solve the embezzlement of public funds. We are of the same family. You called me Uncle. So I can give you some time to pack up and leave."

Antonio clenched his fists, "How could Uncle know that I haven't found evidence?"

Hearing this, Matthew smiled confidently, "Antonio, I have compared the signature of that document with your usual signature. It is the same. What evidence do you have?"

"Wait! I have evidence!"

A crisp voice came from the door. The boy squeezed in from the crowd. He walked up to Antonio and dumped the files of his backpack on the table.

The person here was the graduate who Antonio recruited two days ago. He looked very different from Koby. He looked placidly handsome and gentle. He wore black-framed glasses, which looked like a scholar. Although the first impression he gave others was that he was vulnerable and skinny, he was very strong in fact.

He pushed the glasses and found the one he needed from the document. He picked it up and stood straight in front of Matthew. He was neither humble nor pushy, "Hello, this sir! Let me introduce myself first. I'm Oscar Duncan, Mr. Antonio’s new secretary."

He bowed slightly to everyone, like doing a speech at school. Then he opened the folder. The papers inside were densely printed with a lot of words.

"This is an appraisal made by a professional professor at Judicial Expertise Department. He said that the two signatures are not different at first glance, and the similarity is as high as 90%. However, look at this word, Baron. The hardest point is where he starts and the lightest point is where he tails off, which is different from Mr. Baron’s signature. These are written explanations. The result of the machine identification is on the file in my hand."

After that, he handed it to Matthew and raised his eyebrows, letting Matthew see the result.

Matthew couldn't understand many professional words and symbols, but the last sentence was the conclusion, “The appraisal result is that the two signatures were written by two people!”
