Chapter 746 Conversation, What Happened in the Past
At 7:30 in the evening, in a temporary detention prison in Washington, DC.
In a small interrogation room, Joseph changed into an orange prison uniform, but his slicked-back hairstyle remained the same, and his hair was still combed meticulously.
"Good evening, Roan."
Sitting on a chair with his hands handcuffed, Joseph looked at Roan across the interrogation table, suddenly laughed, and asked:
"Can you pour me a cup of coffee? I'm old, and it takes a lot of effort to hit the spirit."
"Of course."
Roan didn't refuse, and found a prison guard to get a coffee pot, poured a cup of coffee for Joseph, and poured another cup for himself, then smiled and said:
"I'm afraid the taste of coffee in prison is not as good as what you used to drink."
"It doesn't matter, I just drink a few sips to refresh myself."
Joseph took a sip of the coffee, and the bitter taste made his face wrinkle a few more points, then he put down the coffee cup, raised his eyebrows at Roan, and smiled:
"My lawyer has already said After serving, they will provide me with high-quality coffee in the prison, but it is a bit difficult to be temporarily detained in the prison. "
Rich people can always get privileges of one kind or another in the federation, and Luo An is no longer surprised. He did not discuss this topic and went straight to the point:
"Mr. Joseph, you said before that you and my father are very familiar with each other."
"I knew that you really came here for this matter."
Joseph crossed his hands on his abdomen, leaned back in the chair, looked at Luo An with a smile, and a flash of memory flashed in his eyes, saying:
"Counting the time, more than 20 years have passed. Time flies."
Joseph said that more than 20 years ago, his company encountered a lot of troubles due to tax issues.
At that time, Luo An's father, Charles, had obtained a doctorate in accounting and was doing exchanges and seminars at a university in Pennsylvania.
By chance, the two met. Charles spent more than a month helping Joseph solve the tax problem, and Joseph also hired Charles as a tax consultant for his company.
Later, Charles and Beverly got married. They bought the villa in Boston where Roan had lived since childhood. Part of the money spent came from the salary of this consultant position.
"Charles is a very good accountant and a very good friend. He is honest, hardworking, and smart..."
Joseph's face was full of nostalgia. He said a lot of words to praise Luo An's father. Finally, he lowered his head and turned his gaze to Luo An, and added with a smile:
"And he is very popular with women. You look very similar to him, so you should be able to feel this."
"Indeed."
Luo An nodded and accepted Joseph's compliment very calmly. Joseph was slightly stunned and smiled:
"But he was not as thick-skinned as you at that time."
Luo An picked up the coffee and drank it all, then asked:
"Since you have guessed why I came to you, do you have anything to say?"
"Unfortunately, I don't have anything to say."
Luo An didn't beat around the bush, and Joseph stopped talking nonsense. He spread his hands and said:
"I was also very shocked when I learned that Charles was shot and died.
However, the connection between Charles and me is more about work and company business. I don't know much about his life.
Later I went to the funeral in person to pay my respects. Your mother Beverly was very sad. I couldn't ask too much at the time, so I left Boston after the funeral. "
Roan's eyebrows moved slightly:
"In other words, you don't have any clues at all?"
"Not entirely."
Joseph crossed his legs, looked at Roan quietly, and said:
"In addition to my company, Charles also worked as a consultant in many companies.
When we were chatting, I asked him why he did this. Charles gave me the reason that he wanted to give Beverly a superior life, so he was short of money.
At the funeral, Beverly asked us friends to help investigate who killed Charles. I also sent people to investigate, but the final result was nothing. "
Speaking of this, Joseph looked at Roan deeply and said in a deep voice:
"In the Federation, there are not many things that we rich people can't find out anything."
"..."
Roan narrowed his eyes slightly and understood the subtext of Joseph's words.
Thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Luo An pondered for a while, looked up and asked:
"Mr. Joseph, do you have any suggestions?"
Joseph smiled, looked up and touched his hair, and said:
"I am fifty-nine years old this year, and I will be sixty soon. I have already lived two-thirds of my life. With the money I earned in the first half of my life, I have the capital and ability to avenge my son.
You are less than thirty years old this year, and you have reached the position of leader of the special investigation team. Your future must be very bright.
If you want to go to the future, the first guarantee is that your body is fine. What do you think?"
Joseph's words were not difficult to understand. He suggested that Luo An should be patient and not investigate. When his status reached a certain level and he had enough accumulation, it would be too late for revenge.
Luo An did not express his opinion on Joseph's suggestion. After chatting for a while, he called the prison guard to take Joseph back to the cell.
Before being taken away, Joseph looked at Luo An deeply, smiled at Luo An, and finally left with the prison guard.
Looking at Joseph's gradually disappearing back, Luo An was silent for a few seconds, suddenly grinned, turned around and left the temporary detention prison.
"I'm back."
Half an hour later, Luo An returned to the villa with several bags of vegetables, beef and other ingredients, and stood at the door of the villa and shouted:
"Mona, come and help!"
"I'm here!"
Mona in the bedroom on the second floor shouted, and hurried downstairs to help get things, putting the things Luo An bought into the refrigerator. She smiled and asked:
"Are you going to eat at home tonight?"
Luo An stood aside and washed his hands. Hearing this, he looked puzzled:
"What do you mean?"
"Let's go out to eat tonight, I'll treat you!"
Mona put her hands on her hips, her face full of pride, and said:
"Remember the "Rose's city" restaurant in the south of Washington, DC? Let's go there tonight!"
Rose's city, a very famous creative restaurant located in Washington, DC, is praised by some media as the best restaurant in the federation.
The restaurant is very popular but not many people are served every day. Ordinary people can get a place for dinner on the first floor by queuing up in the morning;
Rich people can get a place for dinner in the VIP room on the second floor through an introduction. The dishes on the first and second floors are different.
In the past, when they were on vacation, Luo An and Mona went to various places to travel and take photos, and also went to various restaurants to eat and taste delicious food.
Rose’s city is so famous that Luo An naturally wanted to see it, but he didn’t get a place in the VIP room after booking for half a month.
"Wow."
Roan was surprised to hear that Mona had successfully made a reservation:
"How did you do it?"
"It's a secret. I won't tell you."
Mona chuckled, patted Roan's shoulder, and said with her head held high:
"Go back to the room and change clothes. We'll drive there to eat later. I want to see what delicious food this restaurant has!"
Roan wiped his hands, hugged Mona and kissed her on the corner of her mouth, lowered his head and asked with a smile:
"I change clothes quickly, but you, which dress are you ready to change?"
"Of course, I'll change to the new one I bought."
Mona said as a matter of course:
"The other dresses are more than a month out of date."
Roan: "..."
