"Lopez's affairs have some clues." Jacques told her, "The man is her lover, and Lopez promised to facilitate a business that is beneficial to him, but she failed to keep her promise. That night The two had an argument in the garden, and she wanted to end their relationship, but he accused Lopez of breaking his promise and threatened to expose their affair to the newspaper. During the dispute, the two had a physical altercation, and then both fell into the water .They all had significant trauma to their heads, which is how they died."

This is a story that does not stand up to scrutiny.

"The Daily Prophet will publish relevant reports tomorrow."

"Ethan did it." Edwin said after a moment of silence.

"Him? There's no need for him to take such a risk. Don't Lopez and him always have their own way?" Jacques said to himself, "That's right, if there is a real commotion, he will definitely lose face... But I can't figure out how he got it, he wasn't even there that day."

It was precisely because Ethan had a perfect alibi that Edwin became more and more convinced that he was the murderer behind the scenes.As for how he succeeded... probably only he himself knows.

"Jacques, you have to be careful with him." After a moment of silence, Edwina said.Meeting Jacques' gaze, she gave a wry smile and recounted the entanglement that happened outside the theater that day.

"Mrs. Greengrass didn't tell me this part." Jacques was not very shocked, he might have already guessed some of it himself, "I will pay attention."

"Lopez's death may be partly due to this." Edwin felt nauseated when he thought of Ethan, "He is really... sick."

The strange murder case that happened in Parkinson's manor was quickly resolved. The reason of "accident" could not convince curious people at all. When rumors about Lopez were flying everywhere, Edwin La and Jacques ushered in a good news.

"Brace," Joaquin couldn't hide a smile on his face, "you're going to be an older brother."

He waited nervously for Blaise's reaction. The latter froze for a moment, then raised his face: "Really?"

"Really." Edwin said softly, and then she saw Blaise slowly smile:

"I'm going to have a brother."

"How do you know it's the younger brother?" Jacques teased him, "Maybe it's the younger sister?"

"I just know." Blaise turned his head to look at the garden. "Will my brother be born when the lemon tree grows as tall as me?"

Behind him, Edwin smiled at Jacques: As she expected, Blaise would be a good brother.

Jacques walked into the newspaper office, and a reporter who knew him immediately stopped him, as if he had been waiting for a long time: "Jacques, there is something you need to know."

"what?"

They walked into the latter's office together, and a colleague handed him a stack of photos: "Five weeks ago, a cargo ship bound for Brazil from the UK disappeared mysteriously. Yesterday they found its wreck, and all the cargo sank to the bottom of the sea." , but the crew were very lucky to survive, and only four people on board unfortunately lost their lives."

Five weeks ago, Brazil, four people.Jason's eyebrows trembled: "Could it be..."

"It has been confirmed that it is the Davis family." The colleague whispered, "I got this news by accident, and even the Brazilian media didn't know anything about it."

"Someone blocked the news, didn't they?"

The colleague shrugged: "But I don't know who it is."

Reminiscent of Lopez's strange death, Jacques already knew the answer.He flipped through the photos in his hand, and after thinking for a moment, he made a request: "There's something I can't do, can I trouble you to find out the details?"

"Ok?"

"I want you to investigate the cause of Darren Zabini's death." Jacques said slowly, "The Ministry of Magic claimed that he died of plant poisoning during the expedition, but as far as I know Zabini is a man with great knowledge and a bright future." botanist, this reason is somewhat surprising."

His colleague opened his eyes quite unexpectedly, and then frowned again: "Jaaquin, this matter has passed for many years, and no one has raised any objections to it during this period..."

"I just wanted to make sure."

"How are you and your beautiful wife?"

"Of course!" Jacques replied bluntly, and the corner of his mouth could not help but raise a smile, but he restrained himself from spreading the good news that he would become a father, "Please, don't you think that I am too narrow-minded to talk to a deceased person? Is it too fussy?" He patted his colleague on the shoulder, "It's just that the shipwreck of the Davis family is a bit weird, and it will inevitably make people think too much."

"So do you still want these photos?" the colleague asked.

"Yes." Jacques took it, thought for a while and then ordered, "After all, it will be difficult to find out after many years. I just want to know one thing: whether the place where Zabini died was on his original itinerary. "

Ethan Zabini walked through the door holding a beautifully wrapped gift box.This was Haydn and Edwin's former residence, and she kept it as a meeting place for Blaise and his uncle.

Although she had her own problems with Lopez and him, she never blocked his meeting with Blaise.Ethan knew that it was the reason he said at the beginning that moved her—Brace was, after all, a member of the Zabini family, his nephew.

In the short half-hour meeting, Edwin La never showed up.But today, when Ethan walked into the living room, he saw her sitting on the sofa at a glance, but Blaise disappeared.

"Edwin..."

"Please don't come again," she said. "Brace won't see you again."

"Why?" Ethan asked.Edwina glanced at him calmly:

"Isn't it clear to you?"

He was silent.

"You go."

Ethan took a few steps forward to defend himself, and at the moment when he approached, Edwina suddenly stood up and instinctively used his arms to cover his lower abdomen, this action instantly revealed her secret that had not been made public.Ethan stopped suddenly: "You—"

"Jaquin and I will welcome our child soon." She simply smiled calmly, "Now I have a happy life. Ethan, you should also let go of those obsessions and thoughts that you shouldn't have."
