"Yes, here is the phone number and address." Ryan nodded and replied, then handed Kate a small note.

Kate took the note and glanced at it, thought for a while and said, "Okay, then Aaron and I will be in charge of asking the victim's boyfriend, Ryan, you and Espochito went to investigate the victim's address... ...how about the Espochito people?"

Ryan replied: "Let's wrap up the case at hand for both of us. I'll call him and go directly to him later."

"Okay, thank you both."

Manhattan Island, high-end apartments in Lower DC.

Aron and Kate contacted the victim's boyfriend, Jed Westwood.

This guy is still a second-generation rich man. His father is engaged in import and export trade. His business is not big, and he is not considered rich, but he is still much better than the middle class.

Kate explained the general situation on the phone. Jed sounded very sad, but paused, and finally said that he did not have time to go to the police station for questioning.

Assisting in the investigation itself is a consensual matter, but fortunately, it is not a flat-out refusal, please don't touch people, so Aaron and Kate have to make an appointment to visit.

After the two showed their identities, they were invited into the room. In the living room, on the sofa, sat a young Caucasian guy, about 25 years old, not tall, facing Zhou Zheng, with reddish eyes. cried.

Sitting next to the young man was a middle-aged woman in her 40s, who still had the charm of a milf, stroking his back from time to time and whispering something in his ear.

Not far from the other side of the young man, sat a middle-aged man who looked a little older than the middle-aged woman, holding a glass of wine, with a calm demeanor and a deep complexion.

"Mr. Jed Westwood?" Kate asked, and when the young man nodded slightly, he continued, "Hi, I'm Detective Beckett, and this is my partner, Detective Walker."

Jed nodded and said, "Please sit down, these two are my parents, Theo and Elena Westwood."

Aaron and Kate greeted the two of them again, and said a few more polite words such as condolences and resignation, and then entered the topic. Aron still maintained the principle of watching more, listening more, doing more, and talking less. Dominate the conversation.

Kate asked: "Mr. Westwood, how long have you known Ms. Hiiragi Yuko?"

Jed: "Almost a year and a half."

Kate: "How's your relationship going?"

Jed: "It's been very stable before."

Kate: "When was the last time you saw Hiiragi Yuko?"

Jed thought for a while and said, "Last weekend, I haven't seen Yuzi for more than a week."

Aaron and Kate keenly sensed that there was something wrong with it, and Kate then asked, "Have you been in touch during this time?"

Hearing Kate's question, Jed looked a little sad again: "We talked on the phone, but Yuzi was very perfunctory every time. I asked her if there was any problem, but she didn't say anything."

Kate asked again: "Is there any relationship problem between you?"

Jed's eye circles were a little red again, he took a breath and said, "I don't know, I can't think of any problem at all, it was fine before, but suddenly it's like this..."

"I also went directly to her home, but I couldn't find her. I contacted her place of work and said that she didn't go to work at all this week. If it wasn't for the phone call, I would have wanted to call the police."

The young man was very affectionate, both Aaron and Kate were moved, and there was indeed something wrong with the secret channel, but it seemed that it had nothing to do with this Jade.

"So when was the last time you talked?"

The young man smiled miserably, and said in a low voice: "Three nights ago, I really didn't want to go on like this anymore. I finally made up my mind to have a clear talk with Yuzi."

"Then I heard that Yuzi seemed to be in a noisy environment, and she didn't answer my words. She still hung up the phone after a few words, and then turned off her mobile phone."

Jed's eyes were full of tears after he finished speaking, his mother hurriedly comforted him for a while, and complained that he knew that Yuzi was not a stable person, but Jed's father next to him was noncommittal, neither Can't see what's on my mind.

Alas, poor baby, she was suspected of being dumped, but there was no result, and then she found out that her girlfriend was killed, so there is no one to worry about.

Kate thought for a while and asked again: "Before Yuzi behaved abnormally, didn't she reveal anything, anything that you felt might not be right?"

Jed frowned and remained silent for a while, then shook his head, and said in a low voice: "No, believe me, I have thought about this problem countless times, and I want to know what went wrong more than anyone else."

Although nothing substantive was asked, some questions were revealed, and Kate intuitively believed that the case should have nothing to do with this sad boy.

Kate nodded and asked again: "Mr. Westwood, according to the procedure, I'm sorry to have to ask this question. Where have you been since yesterday during the day?"

Without hesitation, Jed replied directly: "I am with my friends. My friends know that I am in a bad mood, so they come to accompany me."

Jed's father, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said when he heard this: "Okay, detectives, let's stop the questioning here."

This is not an interrogation of suspects, it is all voluntary, and if someone does not cooperate, he will find a bunch of lawyers, and he will not say a word, which makes the police gnash their teeth with hatred, but there is nothing they can do.

Jed is very cooperative, but he has the right to terminate the conversation at any time. Now that someone has spoken, unless Kate and Aaron formally initiate an interrogation, they really can't continue the questioning.

Kate glanced at Aaron, which means that he is not happy, so let's withdraw?
But Aaron signaled to wait a moment, cleared his throat, looked at Jade's family, and asked, "Sorry three, the last question, are you familiar with Ms. Hiiragi Yuko's younger sister Hiiragi Yoko?"

Jed's parents looked at each other and shook their heads. Jed's mother replied: "I just know that there is such a person, but I have never met."

But Jed nodded and said: "I've seen it a few times. How can I say it? She's not easy to get along with. She's a rebellious girl. The two sisters live together, but Yoko doesn't go home often, she always hangs out outside. .”

"Although Yuzi took good care of her sister, her sister didn't appreciate it very much. Later, after hearing that the two sisters had a quarrel, they ran away from home. Since then, there has been no news from Yuzi. Yuzi even called the police, but they were never found."

"Yuzi was very depressed during that time, and she recovered with difficulty, but she still misses her sister very much, and it makes me sad when I think about it. I usually avoid this issue very carefully and don't bring it up in front of Yuzi."
