[Zhongyingmei] Born to be Superman

Chapter 28 Searching for the truth

Kate was sitting at her desk, holding a pineapple bun from a convenience store in one hand, flipping through the documents on the table with the other, and saw an extra cup of coffee on the table out of the corner of her eye.

"I don't know what flavor you like," Clark said with his hands on the desk, "I brought you a cappuccino."

Clark was leaning on the desk, completely different from his suit and leather shoes last night. Dr. Kent was dressed a bit casually today, with a short-sleeved shirt and jeans, half casual and half formal. Kate took the coffee in Clark's hand and said, "Thank you, Here, look, this is the financial statement that Leonard gave me last night..." Kate looked at the folder in Clark's other hand, pretending to be mysterious.

"I'll talk about the clues of the case later," Clark said as he put the folder on the table, "Come on, sign this first."

"What's this?" Kate asked as she opened the file. Inside the file were three sheets of paper with the above title:

Staff of the Forensic Department assist FBI agents in the investigation and registration of the case

This form is in triplicate, signed by the head of the Department of Forensic Medicine and the department to which the detective belongs, and handed over to the two departments and the forensic doctor for preservation.

Kate looked at the signatures on the two columns of the head of the forensic department and the forensic doctor——Clark Kent. Clark joked: "Signed my deed of prostitution." It is the signature of the head of criminal investigation.

Kate paused with her hanging hand, she touched the pen on the desk, her hand was written tightly, she turned sideways, looked at Clark seriously, she said: "Cooperating with front-line agents is very dangerous ,I……"

Clark's smile has not diminished, but his gaze through the glasses is very serious and serious. He said, "So you need a partner." Kate pursed her lips, and Clark made a joke: " So the head of the forensic department recommended me."

Kate couldn't help laughing, is this me recommending myself?

Kate suppressed her smile, stood up, and said very seriously: "Clark, I'm serious, it's very dangerous to partner with a front-line agent. You know about my former partner, I..." Clark stood up, walked to In front of Kate, Kate only said the second half of the sentence: "It may not be able to protect you."

Clark raised his hand, passing over Kate's head vacantly, and touched his chest with his hand. Originally, Clark was leaning against the desk, weakening the pressure brought by his height, but when he stood up and changed his posture, Kate, who didn't even reach Clark's chin, even looked a little petite.

"Hmm." The female detective let out a nasal voice that understood Clark's body movements but was speechless.

"Kate?" Clark said.

"Yes?"

"I don't need your protection," Clark said very seriously, "I can help you block bullets if necessary."

Literally stop a bullet.

Kate took a deep breath, bent down, and signed her name on the detective's column.Said: "That day will never come!" She said: "It's a pleasure to be your partner." Kate grabbed the folder, she slapped the documents on the desk, and said: "Look at this, I Get your supervisor to sign it."

Clark made a "yes" gesture.

Kate walked towards the director's office. Clark sat down at the desk. He opened the folder. Clark glanced at it briefly. It was a stack of financial statements. It was the public statement of Gunther's auction and Dillon, the victim. . A list of Dorn's payroll accounts.

Clark glanced at the past, and saw two numbers marked with a pencil on the last page. One was the company's bill from Gunther's auction, and the settlement of the number was very clear:

$7

And the amount marked in a line of small print, with "Consultation Fund" written next to it:

$ 258

Clark turned the bill over to the flow of Dillon Dorn's salary account. With a swipe of his finger, Clark saw that there were thirteen transfer records marked as "consulting money" in the victim's account, and each "consulting money" transfer After the account is credited, it will be transferred out immediately. Clark calculated in his mind that these thirteen consulting funds add up to $258.

Kate came out of the supervisor's office, and as soon as she walked to her desk, she heard Clark muttering: "This victim may be a company moth."

Kate stood beside Clark with her arms folded, and made a nasal voice of exclamation: "Huh? Huh!" Kate, who had been biting a pen and counting on the calculator for a long time, said with emotion, "How did you see that!"

Clark turned to the last page, pointed to the $258 marked with a pencil, and said, "You have consulting money written next to it, and you said last night that the victim was the personal assistant of the CEO of the auction, and his job content does not include Consult this item, then this amount is likely to embezzle the company's finances in the name of 'consulting money'."

Kate gave Clark a thumbs up, and asked unwillingly: "How do you know that the consulting money I wrote is the consulting money in the victim's account?"

"I figured it out," Clark replied.

"real or fake."

"Of course it's true." Clark asked, "Is this clue being pursued?"

"I've checked it, and it's broken," Kate said with an unbelievable expression on her face, "The money transferred to Don was from an overseas underground bank, which specializes in money laundering, and there is no way to investigate it."

"How are the company's accounts?" Clark asked.

"Mr. Leonard said that he hired a special accountant to review the accounts, but so far there is no evidence that Donne embezzled the company's property." Kate said: "However, it is worth noting that Leonard's accountant has reviewed the accounts It's been only eight days since the review began last Thursday, and Dawn died four days ago."

She grabbed the cappuccino and said, "Let's go, I have an appointment with Mr. Leonard. Regarding the company personnel, the people involved in the case, and the whereabouts of the consulting money, I have asked the Economic Investigation Department to assist in the investigation." Clark stood Get up and follow Kate out.

The two stepped out of the elevator and walked towards the SUV. The two walked into the car. Clark was buckling up his seat belt. His eyes froze on the storage compartment between the driver's seat and the passenger's seat. Kate noticed Clark's Action, she always takes off her ring when she is working to avoid criminals knowing the fact that she is married.

Kate started the car and said, "We will be partners from now on. I would like to introduce myself to you formally." Clark looked up and nodded, and Kate continued, "My name is Kate Callahan. I graduated from the Metropolitan University with a degree in criminal psychology. Bachelor's degree, worked in the FBI Child and Female Trafficking Department for three years, and now transferred to the Criminal Investigation Department to be in charge of major case investigations. Married, with a five-year-old daughter, super cute."

"Well," Clark nodded, and said, "Should I also follow this pattern?"

Kate couldn't help turning her head to look at him: "Aren't you surprised that I got married?"

"Why should I be surprised that a beautiful girl like you has her own happiness?" Clark blinked and said, "Besides, I already knew."

"I'm curious," Kate asked. "If you say I'm married, you can tell from my ring. How do you know I'm pregnant? My body?"

"It's not worth mentioning, Kate." Clark looked away and said in a subtle tone, "You will be disappointed if you hear the answer."

"Tell me." Kate said excitedly.

"you sure?"

"I'm sure," Kate replied.

"The reason is actually very simple," Clark prolonged the tone pretending to be mysterious, Kate's eyes were full of curiosity, and then she heard Clark reply: "I have read your file. Look, I will say that you are disappointed. "

Kate couldn't help but glared at the big boy: "How old are you, childish ghost." Clark's cryptic way gave people the impression that he came to this conclusion by reasoning.

Clark leaned back in the chair, his super hearing spread out from the car, the sound of the whole city poured into his ears, the super hearing passed through the suburban manor, he heard Tony's steady heartbeat and breathing while he was sleeping—— Poor Stark was so drunk by them yesterday, and to Clark's amazement, Bruce's heartbeat wasn't at the manor.

Clark glanced at the watch on his left hand, 10:17—unbelievable.

Clark said, "Not too old, not too young, in his early thirties," Clark continued, "Do you want me to introduce you according to your pattern?"

"Of course," Kate said.

In just a few seconds, Clark recognized the familiar heartbeat frequency from the mixed voices. Clark looked in that direction, and was a little surprised to find that Bruce was in the venue of Gunther's auction. He walked past priceless pieces. The auction item, the person who accompanied him was Harrison Leonard.

Inexplicably, Clark had the feeling that the game was turned off.

The moment Clark regained his attention, he noticed that Diana was also in the auction venue. Diana was in the vault at the venue, and she was very focused on her work.

Diana's whereabouts made him firm in his inference.

Clark withdrew his attention. He leaned on the door frame and said, "Well, I graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a doctorate in biological genetics and a doctorate in pathology. Now transferred to the metropolitan FBI branch as the chief coroner. Single and unmarried, with one son, male dog, super cute."

Kate let out a "poof" laugh as she listened to the dog lovers show off.Kate coughed twice, she became serious, and said: "Back to the case, at the banquet yesterday, I asked Leonard about his alibi on the day of the incident, and he told me that he was at the venue until seven o'clock in the evening. He drove home, and his whereabouts after returning home can be proved by his wife and nanny."

"I have already sent someone to verify it. Last night, I found out that the victim may have embezzled the company's finances. He must have used some clever tricks so that the amount on the book cannot be seen. Otherwise, how can he explain the large amount in his account? So much money?" Kate said: "Although the monthly amount is not large compared with the company's turnover, the victim has been doing this for nearly a year. If he embezzles 25 yuan every month About US dollars, nearly 300 million a year."

"More importantly," Kate said: "This huge sum of money is divided into 198 transfers through Gotham's underground bank and transferred overseas. So far, the Economic Investigation Department has not found out the specific whereabouts of the money."

Clark quickly followed Kate's train of thought, and he said: "So you think, the first may be a vendetta, it may be that Leonard bought/killed/killed/someone; the second may be a financial murder, someone for this huge sum of money Don't hesitate to kill and rob money."

"That's right," Kate said.

Clark organized his language and said, "I think there is another possibility."

"what?"

"Did you pay attention to the lady who was with Leonard yesterday?" Kate shook her head, and Clark said, "Her name is Diana Prince, and when Leonard introduced her, she was the best antique in the world." One of the appraisers, after you left, Miss Prince also left, and before she left, she said to Leonard, "See you at nine o'clock tomorrow."."

"When will an auction director and an antique appraiser meet?"

Kate suddenly realized, and she said, "You mean, there may be fakes in the collection at the auction." Kate reasoned, and said, "Prince was invited by Leonard to appraise the collection? Also, the victim didn't Is it not embezzling the company's property, but exchanging the auction collection with someone to gain benefits?"

"That's right, that can explain it clearly," Kate said. "The money is not embezzled company finances at all, but the favor fee he received for helping to exchange collections. But there is only one problem, Clark, if they have done this kind of thing After so many times, why no one found out."

"Hey," Clark laughed, and he said, "Not all rich people take pictures of their collections because of their admiration. The collection is placed in a glass box, and if there are no knowledgeable experts, those fakes may be passed down from generation to generation."

"There's another possibility, Kate," Clark said, "The person who took the counterfeit was not for the collection at all, he just wanted to launder his money in this way. If it was because of this, the case would be complicated. Entertainment Circles, auction houses, and casinos are the three best places to launder money. If they operate properly, they will come in and out, and the dollars will be clean.”

"You seem to have heard a lot of tricks here?" Kate asked, "Where did you know that?" After all, Kate is an expert in criminal investigation, and she doesn't have a deep understanding of financial crimes.

Clark looked ahead, recalled the huge private library of Master Bruce, and said: ""21st Century Financial Crime Documentary", "Los Angeles Financial Crime Detective Science", "FBI Top [-] Financial Crime Case Analysis"... If you need it, I can make a book list for you."

book list.

"No...no need." Kate finally understood why Clark had two doctorate degrees.

At the same time, Bruce and Leonard were walking side by side towards the vault where various collections were stored at the auction. As the world's top five billionaires, Bruce barely made much effort, so Leonard agreed to take him to the vault Here's an early look at the collection for this auction.

It would also be an unofficial meeting of Batman and Wonder Woman, an encounter that would leave each other impressed.

......

"Mr. Wayne, please come in," Leonard said.

Leonard led Bruce into the tightly guarded vault. This time there were a total of 23 collections in the auction, including porcelain, oil paintings, jewelry, decorations, etc., which were neatly arranged in six columns and placed in the vault.There is a table next to the collection, and various tools are neatly placed on the table.

Bruce saw the lady standing in the neatly arranged collection at first glance——Diana Prince, the lady Clark said made him feel excited for the first time in so many years.
