Chapter 530 The Suspect
It was at the police station.Dakota came in person.He listened to the police investigating the affair.
When Ormand arrived with Viola, the first round of questioning had already been completed.
Seeing them come over, Dakota stepped forward to comfort them.
"Ms.McGraw, why are you here? How are you?"
Viola's lips were slightly pale.
Just as she was about to say something, Ormand talked first, "The doctor said that the injury isn't particularly serious.Viola was thinking about solving this attack as soon as possible, so we came."
Dakota gestured to the two to go to the break room.
As soon as he sat down, Ormand continued to ask, "How's the investigation?"
Dakota shook his head seriously.
"It was an elite assassin that was hired anonymously on the black market.This group of people only listened to orders and did not know who was behind the whole matter.In addition, although the person who shot was not caught, the bullets taken from Ms.McGraw's arm have been sent to the special office where we can identify the gun.I believe that the results will be out soon."
Spain had strict control over the sale of guns.
Those who could hold guns had passed the professional examination with professional gun licenses.
As long as the model of the small sniper rifle was determined, it was not difficult to check among all the people who could hold the sniper rifles.
Viola listened quietly, and the corners of her pale lips inadvertently curved into a hint of ridicule.
"Another killer hired from the black market.How familiar it is."
Dakota listened to her tone and asked in slight surprise, "Could it be that Ms.McGraw has experienced similar attacks before?"
Viola did not say anything.
Ormand explained, "Yes.When we were in Washington, Viola's illegitimate sister once hired forty elite killers from the black market.The killers aimed to kill her with knives at the Crane Bridge.Fortunately, the United States has strict control over firearms, so she escaped from being shot."
Dakota was surprised to hear that.
"A mere illegitimate daughter of a rich and powerful family could actually do such a thing?"
Ormand was speechless.He turned to look at Viola and saw that her eyes had turned cold.
The one who had hurt her the most was never Max.
Instead, it was her father, Willard and her big brother, Bobby.
Willard gave Max the money to do all those evil things.
As for Bobby, he knew how Max hurt her, yet he still chose to help Max.
Ormand felt so sorry for Viola.He sighed silently and reached out to hold her clenched fist.He desperately tried to give her a sense of security.
Dakota noticed that there was something wrong with the aura on the other side of the table.He guessed that there were many stories here.He stopped asking and had someone prepare coffee.
Viola gradually recovered from the sadness.
Thinking of Annie, who was a little strange, she asked Dakota, "How much does Mr.Grenier know about Mr.Moore, who's from the Netherlands, and his girlfriend?"
Dakota pondered for a moment.
"Hoare has too many girlfriends.Before Annie, his girlfriend could form a band.There are probably some ex-girlfriends that even he can't name.He's already in his forties, and he's a celibatarian as well as a sloven.
"However, he’s rich enough.With his identity as an aristocrat in the Netherlands, he, as an earl, can live a luxurious life forever.Moreover, he has sharp business acumen.In addition, his father passed away, and he got a huge inheritance.Every business field of his is using money to expand.Regardless of his private life, he is a good business partner."
Viola thought about the information in his words and continued to ask, "How long did he and Annie announce their relationship?"
"I really don't know about this, but I heard about it before.When he went to the United States for a business trip, he met his girlfriend.
Annie studied there at that time.
After the two of them confirmed their relationship, they often traveled to various countries.
"But from what I know these past few days, Hoare really cares about this girlfriend.He treats her better than any previous girlfriend.I'm afraid he is serious this time," Dakota said, taking a sip of coffee.
Viola listened and silently calculated the approximate timeline.How could it be so coincidental? They met in the United States, and then Hoare took Annie abroad.
With regards to Hoare's status, if there was really a problem with Annie, it was possible for Hoare to give her a new identity.
"Ms.McGraw, why are you so concerned about Hoare's private life? Is there anything related to the attack?"
Viola was thinking about it and came back to her senses when Dakota asked.
"Nothing."
Before Viola sorted it out, these were just her guesses.
Without any solid evidence, she shouldn't alert the enemy and make them more prepared.
There was a nerve in her head.She suddenly felt a stab of pain.She frowned and rubbed the back of her head with difficulty.
The area that was hit by the stick was not cured, so even a light touch could cause slight pain.
"Viola, don't think about it anymore.These things are too complicated.You're the one who got injured.Relax, OK?"
Ormand saw that she was not feeling too well.He embraced and comforted her.
She leaned against Ormand's broad chest and nodded gently.
"Sleep if you are not feeling well.Leave the rest to me."
She nodded again, closed her heavy eyelids, and fell asleep in Ormand's arms.
Dakota watched from the other side and felt even more sorry.
"Mr.Hobson, I'm sorry for what they had done to you.I sincerely apologize.I didn't expect that this matter would delay your trip.But don't worry, I will ask the police to investigate this matter thoroughly.I will not let any suspicious guys go."
Ormand was expressionless.
He lowered his eyes and stared at the injured Viola in his arms.He gently stroked her back with his palm.He was gentle and careful.
"Did you find the man who hit the back of Viola's head with a stick?"
Dakota said, "We are on it.Once we find out who did it, we will not let them off easily."
Ormand said coldly, "Since you feel sorry for the attack, I request that after you find them, I'll send them to the interrogation room in the United States, and I will deal with them myself."
"This...
"Although they broke the law, they are still citizens of Spain after all.Isn't it inappropriate for them to be brought to the United States for interrogation?"
Dakota was in a quandary.
Ormand's expression was cold and resolute.
"These killers are orphans.They have been raised by a black market organization since they were young.They don't have any identities, and they are dangerous.I want the man who hurt Viola.I will secretly send him to the United States.No one will know."
Dakota was silent.He hesitated.
As compensation, it was not a big deal to let him take a person away quietly.
But after all, Dakota had not succeeded his father as the king yet.
Once this matter was known by someone with ill intentions, they would take the opportunity to go to Dakota's father, the king, to accuse Dakota, and he would get into trouble.
Moreover, Dakota always liked to do things according to the rules.
"Mr.Hobson, to be honest, I am the heir to the throne.I am afraid that if I make a mistake, I will be caught by others.So I am afraid that you can't take the man away secretly.When I find out who hurt Viola, I can report it to the king according to the process.I will do my best to help you solve it."
Ormand knew Dakota well.So Ormand did not say anything more.
Ormand kind of agreed.
The break room suddenly quieted down.
Dakota drank coffee, and Ormand hugged his wife, who was sleeping.
To make Viola sleep comfortably, he didn't dare to move even if his legs were stiff.
The quiet atmosphere lasted for several minutes until police gently knocked on the door and entered.
After the police greeted Dakota, they asked Ormand, "The police station has already started the third round of individual questioning.The director asked me to come for some other things."
"Speak," Ormand said without raising his eyes.
"Do you and your wife have any enemies? Or any competitors?"
"I have too many enemies and competitors, but there are not many in Spain."
The police wrote down Ormand's statement as he listened.
"Then, do you have any suspects in this incident?"
Ormand continued to look at Viola in his arms.His mind suddenly recalled her obsession with the identity of Annie.His cold eyes gradually turned cold.
"Yes, Hoare."
