The queen's wife is too sultry
Chapter 270 Chief Jonathan 1
George was supported by the servant, and he staggered back to the bedroom.
The consequence of drinking alcohol during illness was that his old body could not withstand the dual effects of the virus and alcohol, and his brain became dizzy.
George waved the servant back, put on a cashmere blanket and walked into the study.
Although in front of the laughing crowd, he looked impassioned and full of glory, and he was the patriarch of Dawson's big family, but behind the crowd, he was just a frail old man over eighty years old. With his frivolous and faltering steps, he was mercilessly exposed.
George put on reading glasses, sat on the desk, spread out a booklet, and lowered his head to record something.
The main light in the study room was not turned on, only a desk lamp was on. In the huge study room, apart from the only light source, there was boundless darkness behind George.
"Dong dong dong—" there was a knock on the door.
George looked up, his cloudy eyes narrowed vigilantly, like a snake spitting out letters.
"Who."
"Grandpa, it's me."
"Come in."
George took off his reading glasses and put on a loving expression, "Why are you here..."
As soon as Gu Zheng entered the door, he felt that this big study gave people a cold and suffocating feeling.
He looked around, wondering why George had only one lamp on.
The old man smiled at him with the light behind him, the boundary between light and shadow became blurred, he could hardly see his face clearly, and the smile became more and more weird.
"Grandpa, why don't you turn on the light?"
"Does it feel dark to you? Then turn on the light."
With a bang, the headlights were switched on.
The sudden light made George squint his eyes uncomfortably, but his weird expression just now looked normal under the light, and he was still the old white-haired old man.
"Sit down, William, what can I do for you? Why don't you stay downstairs?"
"Mei Lin and others are entertaining guests, I'll come and see you." Gu Zheng sat down in front of him, and glanced at the medicine on the desk.
"Grandpa, Aunt Mei Lin asked me to tell you to take your medicine."
"Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't tell me..." George picked up the medicine belatedly, gulped a few times, and drank it down in one gulp.
"Grandpa..." Gu Zheng smiled, "I have something to ask you about the family."
George raised his eyebrows with surprise in his eyes, "What's wrong? You didn't seem to care about family affairs before..."
"Before, it was because you and the elders were worried about the family, and it was not my turn to intervene."
Gu Zheng said softly: "But tonight, I learned a piece of news that is not good for the family, and it has something to do with Arthur."
George's eyes froze, and his expression became serious, "What news, tell me."
Gu Zheng propped his arms on the table and said casually:
"Just now downstairs, I ran into my old friend Director Jonathan."
“He said he was recently investigating a case where Deputy Mayor Wilson, who ran with Arthur for mayor last month, went missing.”
Gu Zheng's sharp blue eyes were like hawks, staring at George, "Just yesterday, Wilson's body was salvaged from the seaside. The autopsy showed that he was poisoned before his death and then thrown into the sea."
"Grandpa, what do you think of this case?"
As expected by Gu Zheng, George's ravine face showed no flaws, his cloudy eyes gleamed, and while Gu Zheng was looking at him, he was also looking at Gu Zheng calmly.
"William, Wilson is Arthur's opponent. The whole Texas knows it. If Director Jonathan suspects him because of this, that's normal."
"But even if it is doubt, there must be evidence, isn't it?" George said unhurriedly.
"Grandpa said so." Gu Zheng nodded slightly, took out a photo from his pocket and put it on the table.
"If it weren't for this photo, I also suspect that Mr. Jonathan was joking, but who is the person in the photo, I think you are no stranger to Grandpa."
George glanced at him suspiciously, then took the photo, his face changed slightly after only one glance.
This subtle change did not escape Gu Zheng's eyes.
"This photo... where did you get it?" George raised his head and asked with a tense expression on his face.
Gu Zheng pursed his lips and said lightly:
"Jonathan checked the fishermen near the seaside for a week to see if there was any suspicious person. When one of the fishermen went out to sea last week, he accidentally photographed this person at night by the seaside, and said that he was an outsider, because he had never been there before. Never seen him..."
The picture was none other than Frank.
"Director Jonathan asked me if I knew this guy..."
Gu Zheng's eyes fixed on George's pensive face, "If I'm not mistaken, he should be Uncle Frank."
"Enough!" George snorted in a low voice, showing displeasure:
"This is not something you should intervene in. Where is Jonathan, you let him tell me in person!"
"Grandpa, don't be angry, I heard that Uncle Frank will return to the manor today..."
Gu Zheng's face became embarrassed, "I don't know if the two of you will meet..."
George frowned, hesitated for two seconds, and immediately dialed the phone on the desk.
"Hey, Melin, is Director Jonathan still in the hall..."
Gu Zheng sat quietly at the side, calmly watching him make the phone call.
After a while, George hung up the phone, his eyes turned cold:
"William, how dare you lie to me."
He slapped the desk with his palm, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he sternly said, "There is no Jonathan on the guest list tonight!"
Gu Zheng pursed his lips, his blue eyes revealing a cunning gleam of planning.
He already knew what he wanted.
He raised his eyes and said with great certainty, "Grandpa, the murderer is Frank, right?"
George stared at him coldly, without saying a word.
"My mother once mentioned to me that Uncle Frank is your adopted child."
Compared to George's tense aura, Gu Zheng was obviously much calmer.
"It's just that I haven't seen this uncle very much since I can remember. I'm curious, why do you never let him appear in the public eye?"
George's face was sullen, and the sharp light in his pupils was like the edge of a sword, exuding an imposing aura and majesty.
Obviously, Gu Zheng's temptation has reached his bottom line.
"William, tell me first, what did Jonathan tell you?"
The consequence of drinking alcohol during illness was that his old body could not withstand the dual effects of the virus and alcohol, and his brain became dizzy.
George waved the servant back, put on a cashmere blanket and walked into the study.
