Chapter 959 The History of Kaufman's Prosperity (Ⅱ)

"What's more, while Kaufman is monopolizing the hotel industry, he is also on the negotiating table with the boggards, occupying a greater initiative and right to speak."

"If the Boggard doesn't work for him wholeheartedly, Kaufman threatened to transfer the dirty work to other gangsters, such as the 'Sons of Liberty' and the Ratmen's 'Mafia', who would be happy to do it for him. Generous patron service."

"In this way, if you think about it, those swamp people whose activities are limited to the wetland generation, whose news is outdated, and who are incompatible with human society, have other options besides hugging Kaufman's thigh?"

"In order to please Kaufman, the big money maker, the boggards have to do all the dirty work, and they will spare no effort to suppress the new 'thorns' in the Baden hotel and entertainment industry."

"In this way, Kaufman was engaged in business with his left hand and politics with his right hand. He took both black and white, and quickly rose to become the millionaire we are all familiar with, the most powerful man in Hot Spring Town."

Sergeant Grayson sighed, and finally concluded with one sentence, making a pertinent evaluation of David Kaufman.

"Although I despise Kaufman's despicable methods, I have to admit that this guy is not only a complete villain, but also a fucking talent!"

Joan nodded secretly, fully agreeing with Mr. Sheriff's point of view.

If David Kaufman hadn't possessed the dual charms of "villain" and "genius", he wouldn't have attracted Mrs. Josephine's heart and accepted the marriage proposal regardless of the fifteen-year age gap between the two parties.

From another point of view, Mrs. Josephine's taste in choosing lovers is consistent.

For example, Professor Moriarty is also the kind of "devil-type personality" who is "a bit bad but very talented". In this respect, he is similar to David Kaufman.

"Greyson, not to mention that Kaufman didn't leave a record, even if he admits that he colluded with the Boggard to engage in unfair competition, we can't do anything about him."

Pinkerton knocked on his pipe and smiled wryly.

"In the entire Baden Chamber of Commerce, almost all the top-notch businessmen have been involved in this scandal, and they have all had private transactions with the boggards."

"Including David Kaufman, the combined net worth of these hundreds of wealthy businessmen and tycoons is no less than tens of millions, enough to buy the entire city of Midgard. Don't you really dare to sue these millionaires, great philanthropists, Successful people, celebrities, good friends of governors, generals and councilors?"

"Even if you really dare to sue these big businessmen, almost all the lawyers in the New World will defend them, but who dares to try them?"

"That's right, it's because of his confidence that a dark-hearted businessman like David Kaufman dares to trample on all laws and morals in the world..."

Sergeant Grayson took off his hat, resentment and helplessness intertwined in his eyes.

"Of all the crimes that Kaufman has committed, the one that I cannot stand is the murder of his wife, Elena."

Pinkerton's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Kaufman, did he confess to paying for the murder of his wife?"

"That's right, he not only confessed to the crime, but also shamelessly and triumphantly taught me a legal education class." Sergeant Grayson gritted his teeth.

"When I presented conclusive evidence to accuse Kaufman of being involved in the murder of his wife, this shameless man actually cited legal provisions to prove to me that the husband had conclusive evidence of his wife's infidelity and collusion with an adulterer to steal his own property. Under the premise of this, buying a murderer to murder his wife can only be considered a misdemeanor, and you can avoid going to jail if you spend some money."

"Wait a minute, this is different from the legal provisions in my memory!" Pinkerton couldn't help interrupting.

"The legal provisions in your memory should be the latest revised version by the Supreme Court of the Empire. It has only been in use for ten years, and the provisions quoted by Kaufman are the old codes that were implemented 20 years ago." Police Gleason Chang smiled wryly and said, "According to the basic principles of legal circles, before the revision of the legal provisions, the principle of 'from the old to the lesser' is implemented for unconfirmed criminal acts, so Kaufman judged himself according to the old code of twenty years ago. He can escape from prison, theoretically invulnerable, not to mention that he has enough money and contacts to help him get away with it, so why not admit that he bought murder to kill his wife, what is there to be afraid of?"

Pinkerton was stupefied with his pipe in his mouth, and it was a long time before Mr. Detective complained angrily.

"David Kaufman, a criminal, actually knows more about the law than me, a detective. Is there any reason for this? Ah? Is there any reason for it! Damn it!"

At this time, Mrs. Josephine, who had been quietly listening in the interrogation room, suddenly raised her head and broke the silence.

"Gentlemen, may I ask you a favor?"

"Of course, ma'am, if you have any orders, just say it."

Sheriff Grayson never concealed his dislike for Kaufman, but he was quite respectful of his fiancée.

"Mr. Sheriff, please ask David for me, paying for the murder of his wife, regardless of legal responsibility, does he not feel any guilt in his heart all these years?

"Has David considered, if this scandal is exposed, how will he face the child he and Mrs. Irina have?"

"Did David tell Harry that it was his father who planned to murder his mother?"

From Mrs. Josephine's series of questions, Joan could hear extreme disappointment and pain.

Sergeant Grayson's cold face could not help but be moved.

"Ma'am, in fact, I have already asked Kaufman similar questions, and his answer...is so cold that I can't believe it."

"What did David say?"

"He suspects that Harry is not his own flesh and blood, but the illegitimate child of Irina and her lover, and he has been deceived and raised his son for more than 20 years."

"Kaufman said frankly that he had a serious heart knot because of this matter. The more he looked at Harry, the more he felt that the other party didn't look like him. He even considered depriving Harry of his inheritance rights."

Pinkerton smiled disapprovingly.

"This guy Kaufman probably did too many bad things, so that he was suspicious, even his own son was suspicious!"

"Anyone with sight will have to admit that Harry looks a lot like his daddy, almost in the same mold as the young Kaufman."

"I also find it strange, why does Kaufman always look down on his son? In fact, as long as you compare his own portraits when he was young, it is not difficult to find that Harry is definitely his own flesh and blood... I can only I think that this man has done too much evil, and I have ghosts in my heart, so I feel suspicious about everything I look at."

Sergeant Grayson said coldly.

Joan put the teacup on the table, hesitant to speak.

Mrs. Josephine noticed his strange expression, turned her head and smiled at him: "Joan, what do you think about this matter?"
