Chapter 24 The Past in Las Vegas
Neil finally found a legitimate reason to knock on the glass door of the office. For some reason, seeing the conversation between Mia and Pete always made him uneasy.
He pointed to the woman in the meeting room next door, "Hi, I'm afraid we have a new case."
Ten minutes later, Mia, Pete, and Neil sat together in the conference room.
Diana brought the freshly brewed coffee, and the woman took a sip from the cup, and it was obvious that she was very nervous and restless.
Pete and Neil didn't dare to speak rashly at this time. Out of gender advantages, Mia walked over and opened the chair to sit next to the woman, and gently shook her hand, "Don't worry, dear , you can say anything here, if you are afraid of facing too many people, I can let them out first, or—” Mia pointed to Pete, “he is the most experienced detective we have here You can also choose to communicate with him alone."
"No, it doesn't matter." Accompanied by Mia at close range, the woman finally calmed down a lot, "I'm just too timid, I just... just... don't know how to describe what I've experienced matter."
"It doesn't matter, you can say whatever you think of." Mia motioned to the detective who was taking notes to start recording, "Can I ask your name first?"
"Grace, Grace Whitehead (·head)."
"So what are you trying to tell us about?"
"It's me... my boss, Mr. Coverdale, Todt Coverdale."
"The one from Carverdale, Todd Carverdale?" Neal interjected.
Grace nodded, "Yes, that's him."
Todd Caverdale, who founded the department store of the same name many years ago, is one of the newly emerging retail companies in the past ten years. Some financial analysts once predicted that if the current development of Caverdale continues, maybe It is also possible that Wal-Mart, the giant in the retail industry, will surpass it in the next decade.
"I suspect that he was replaced by an impostor. The current Todd Caverdale is simply the original Mr. Caverdale."
"Is there any evidence found? Or—"
Todd is also a well-known wealthy businessman in this city, and his background is naturally the subject of many gossip media's scrambling to report, and it has not been heard that there is something wrong with him in recent years.
"I have a few letters and documents here that I can show you." Grace carefully took out a few pages of yellowed letter paper from a briefcase, which seemed to be quite old, and there were a few ordinary documents.
"This is..." I just glanced at the content roughly, and what was written on the letter seemed to be some trivial things about the little girl's life.
Grace began to explain, "Speaking of which, my relationship with Mr. Culverdale actually started 20 years ago.
My father left the family when my mother was pregnant and has had no contact with me since, leaving only the last name of Whitehead to me.When I was eight years old, my mother also fell ill. She had a very rare immune disease. At that time, all medical drugs were only in the experimental stage.The local media reported my incident. Fortunately, I got a donation from a charitable foundation, and some kind people also sent me a lot of daily necessities and money. Among those letters belonged to Todd Caverdale mr.
At that time, Mr. Carverdale was just an ordinary clerk in a supermarket. He said in his letter that although his salary was not high, he sympathized with me when he saw the news reports, so he sent his meager savings. .
After that, we also often communicated by letter. About a year later, my mother passed away. Fortunately, thanks to charities and some of the donations I received at the beginning, I can still support my daily expenses. The letters between Mr. Culverdale and me It has never been broken.
Until one day, he wrote to say that he was very lucky to get a free ticket to Las Vegas for vacation. He said that if this luck can continue, he will use the money he won in Las Vegas to buy it for me. A generous gift, yet that letter became our last connection.
At first I thought that he had some accident, or was delayed by other things. After watching the news, I realized that the trip to Las Vegas really favored him. He won a jackpot of 5000 million US dollars, and then opened his own retail department store. "
"I also heard this paragraph when the media interviewed Carverdale, but since his life has undergone earth-shaking changes overnight, it is not impossible to cut off contact with you, so you doubt it... "Neil expressed his opinion.
"It's not just that." Grace continued, "Mr. Culverdale has become a rich man. I don't think there is anything wrong with him no longer contacting me, but I have always been very grateful to him for treating me when I was young." I chose to work in New York after graduating from college. I submitted several resumes, and one of them was from Carverdale Department Store. I was lucky enough to get an interview invitation from it.
I have worked in Carverdale Department Store for five years, from a small salesman to one of Mr. Carverdale's personal secretaries today. I don't have any other purpose, I just want to repay him Encouragement when I was most helpless.However, I was finally promoted to this position half a year ago, but I found that there were many things wrong.
Although I have not been in touch with Mr. Culverdale for nearly 20 years, and I have never met him, when he stood in front of me my gut told me that he was not the man I knew.And I deal with a large number of documents every day, and I found that his handwriting is also different from that of the past. "
When Grace said this, Mia had already compared the signatures on the letters with the signatures on the documents, and it really looked like they were written by two people.
She pushed the letter in front of Neal.
Neil only glanced briefly, "Based on my experience, unless Mr. Cuverdale has a different brain, there is no reason why the writing style will change so much."
"Could it be that his hand was injured before or that he switched from his right hand to writing with his left hand, which is impossible?" Pete asked immediately.
"It's not that simple." Mia explained, "In fact, writing is also a very personal habit. The reason why handwriting identification will become one of the authentication standards for a person's identity is precisely because of this. The way of holding a pen, the way of holding a pen The intensity of writing, as well as personal learning experience, etc. will all become factors that affect his writing habits. Unless Mr. Culverdale intends to change his writing habits, even if he is injured or changes hands, even if he writes The resulting handwriting is completely different, and some specific habits will not change."
As Mia spoke, she pointed to a few English letters on the old letter paper, "Look, in terms of writing habits, Carverdale in this letter prefers letters like g, p, y The strokes are elongated, and the writing habits on these documents are completely opposite, which is unreasonable."
Pete nodded again and again, "Mia, I didn't know you were so familiar with handwriting identification before." While saying this, he also looked at Neil with scrutiny.
This doctor of criminal psychology seems to know much more than he expected, is it also related to Neil?
"Uh..." Mia's major is the study of human behavior and psychology, and she has worked in bau for these years. The doubts expressed by Peter's eyes and body movements did not escape Mia's eyes. She After thinking for a while, he replied, "I didn't really understand these before, but I was still very interested. I will find some materials to study when I have time in the past few years. I was just talking about theories on the book. And the two The difference in handwriting is too obvious."
"Let's not talk about that for now." Pete decided not to make his doubts too obvious, and turned the topic back, "So the two of you agree with Miss Whitehead's guess?"
"It's a bit reluctant to doubt a person's identity based on just a few letters and different handwriting. Judging from Miss Whitehead's narration, the time when Mr. Culverdale's possible accident should be that trip to Las Vegas When Adams won the lottery, of course we can’t rule out that someone impersonated him because of money, but what about the evidence? As far as I know, Mr. Carverdale is also an orphan and has no family. It happened 20 years ago again. What do we have to prove he's not Culverdale himself?"
Pete also nodded, "Indeed, judging from the current evidence in this case, it is not enough for us to investigate."
"There's one more thing, maybe it's also related." Grace suddenly spoke again during their discussion.
"It doesn't matter, if you think of something, just say it."
"One of my colleagues, Peggy Warren (page.) is one of Mr. Carverdale's private secretaries like me. About two or three months ago, I began to be suspicious of Carverdale. Increase, sometimes absent-minded at work. Peggy found this out and asked me what happened. I was very confused at the time, so I told her my suspicions, and nothing happened at first. However, Peggy suddenly became mysterious two weeks ago She told me that she was about to get lucky, and said she would like to thank me. Then within two days she heard that Peggy had won the lottery and won a large bonus. She resigned and left the company. But... just in Three days ago, she died!"
