Chapter 2174 Ormond's Cause of Death
After Su Tao passed the time difference, he and Vera paid homage to Ormond in the cemetery.
Although Mr. Ormond was once dissatisfied with him, Su Tao actually admired Mr. Ormond very much.
Mr. Ormond is a dreamer and he tries to restore his family to its peak. Under his layout, the Ormond family not only has many industries in Europe, but also planted the spark in Asia and Africa.
With his efforts, the Ormond family has now recovered its vitality. If five to six years are given, they can accumulate energy and impact first-class families.
Vera sat next to the tombstone, looking at her father's portrait wiped away tears, and she began to recall the amazing love between her father and mother back then.
"My father was very thin and handsome when he was young. He met my mother on a horse riding field. He was a master of equestrianism, and my mother was a rookie who had just practiced for at least a long time. My father took a fancy to his mother at first glance, thinking that she was not only lively and cute, but also had a girlish romance. So, by teaching her, the relationship between the two became familiar." Vera sighed, "Later I realized that my mother was not interested in equestrianism. She met by chance on the street and fell in love with my father, and found a way to get to know each other."
Su Tao met Vera's mother, Ms. Lin Mixue, several times, and her personality is indeed different from that of ordinary people.
Therefore, having such a magical love with Ormond is also in line with her usual style.
"After two months of love, my father planned a romantic proposal ceremony. My mother did not expect Ormond to do this. She was caught off guard, but she agreed to her father very decisively. However, their marriage did not receive the support of both parents. My grandfather and grandmother were very stubborn people. They could not accept the family's heirs and found a Chinese woman as a partner. My grandfather was not optimistic about their relationship because Ormond's personality was too boring and boring. My mother also had the kind of lifestyle that likes freedom and relaxation, so their marriage would definitely not last long."
"However, in the end, my father and mother insisted. When the elders of both sides did not bless me, the two were married."
Su Tao sighed: "Since their marriage has experienced so many setbacks, why did they break up in the end?"
Vera sighed, "The relationship breaks down, both parties have responsibilities. My father quickly took over the Ormond family's property and made a mess. My mother suffered from mild depression after pregnancy and childbirth. The two often had disputes over all kinds of trivial matters. In a strong relationship, they would break up after quarrel. Because of me, their relationship lasted for more than ten years, and finally divorced secretly. I only found out in the past two years."
Su Tao sighed inwardly, "Life will never be smooth sailing. Although they have had many conflicts, they have at least loved each other."
Vera nodded slightly and sighed: "My father still didn't let go, including the woman he found later, Chen Min'er, who also looked for it as my mother."
Su Tao felt sorry for Ormond, and could only say that he fell in love with someone he shouldn't love. "Where is the same person in the world? Even if he has the same skin, there must be a big gap in his personality."
"Don't underestimate Chen Min'er, she is smarter than she thought." Vera paused, "Low-key, modest, and cautious, let her and her son survive."
Who would have thought that there was actually a big house fighting drama hidden within the Ormond family?
Su Tao put the flowers in his hand on the tombstone and bowed deeply, "Master Ormond, please rest assured. I will abide by the previous agreement and protect Vera. As for the reason why you died suddenly, I will investigate clearly and will never let the evil villains go to justice."
"I have made an appointment with a private detective. An hour later he will tell us what he knows now." After his father's death, Vera did not give up pursuing the truth behind him, so she spent a lot of money to hire the most famous private detective in Moscow.
The private detective, named Peter, was once a Russian agent. After retiring, he founded a detective agency and now has hundreds of employees. Therefore, it is quite expensive to hire them to investigate the case.
Of course, they are not all customers who will accept it. First of all, they will analyze and judge based on existing evidence to see if the truth can be found. At the same time, the commission they charge is also formulated depending on the difficulty.
There were already cars waiting at the entrance of the cemetery. Su Tao and Vera sat in the back row and arrived at the detective agency half an hour later. Peter was already well prepared, and Su Tao and Vera were taken to the conference room.
Peter began to report on the current investigation. Su Tao did not understand Russian, and Vera would translate important information to Su Tao from time to time.
When Mr. Ormond died, he was in a closed secret room, with broken glasses and messy pills on the ground, and only Ormond's own fingerprints were found on the cups and pills.
Therefore, the police concluded that Ormond died suddenly because of a sudden heart disease and was unable to take medication in time.
Peter's team extracted a paralysis toxin called nw from Ormond's body, which believed that this was related to Ormond's death.
"NW paralyzing toxin?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Su Tao's eyes. This is a very rare chronic toxin with very small doses and is almost difficult to detect. For example, some drugs such as Xiusicao and Bone Flower contain ingredients similar to this toxin.
The "Imperial Medicine Sutra" records many secrets of internal strife in the palace. When the concubines fight in the internal strife, such chronic toxins will be used. There are even several times when the throne is usurped, so they will be used.
In many martial arts novels, colorless and odorless poisons are real. However, these poisons are taboos for traditional Chinese medicine and are not recorded in widely circulated medical books. Even in unofficial history, they are just a brief introduction.
Peter introduced: "If you take the nw paralysis toxin in a small dose, you will experience limb paralysis and mobility difficulties for more than two years. During this process, he will not have any reaction because the toxin is very latent."
After Su Tao and Vera were translated, he reminded: "It's definitely not two years. It's less than half a year since my father and I met last time. I didn't notice anything unusual about him, that is, someone slowly took him this toxin in the past six months. So you might as well start from this perspective, whether there are new faces in the past six months. Especially for people like housekeepers, secretary, assistants, they have the opportunity to get in touch with Ormond's diet. Of course, it's not ruled out that the people closest to him will be bribed in the past six months."
"Actually, we have investigated all the closest candidates around Mr. Ormond and have also identified several characters." Peter was very curious about the identity of the Chinese man beside Vera, but when he saw that he saw the key point at first glance, he not only showed a hint of praise in his eyes.
"Gayev, Ormond's housekeeper, was fifty-eight years old and was the person he trusted the most and was almost inseparable from Ormond. That day, he also discovered that there was a problem with Ormond and sent him to the hospital for rescue."
"Sharapova, Ormond's servant, is forty-two years old, and is the actual controller of Ormond's family's internal affairs, responsible for recruiting servants, chefs, drivers, etc.."
"Felome, Ormond's secretary, was hired by Mr Ormond five years ago. Before that, Ormond had been changing his secretary. Felomeome was valued by Ormond because of his outstanding personal abilities and his knowledge of how to handle his relationship with Ormond."
"Chen Min'er, Ormond's girlfriend, met ten years ago and now has a son. She meets Ormond two or three times a month, and has eight shops and seven houses under her name."
...
Su Tao has a deep impression of the two. The first one is the aunt Sharapova. When Su Tao and Vera first met, Sharapova obstructed them many times. Although time has passed, Su Tao still admires her stubbornness and loyalty.
Among the four, Sharapova should be the one who is least likely to become the murderer, because Sharapova's loyalty to Ormond's family is something anyone can see.
The second one is Chen Min'er.
Although she and Ormond were not legally registered and became husband and wife, they lived for many years and had a son. Since ancient times, there is a high probability that a murder case has been related to feelings.
She is the most suspicious.
Chen Min'er became Ormond's mistress undoubtedly because she was attracted by his power and wealth. When her son grew older, Chen Min'er might not be as simple as being a mistress.
If Ormond dies, her son will have the chance to transform from an illegitimate child into a family heir, and she can also escape the cage she appears in.
Of course, everything is speculation, and there must be enough evidence to solve the mystery of Ormond's sudden death.
"Peter's team is of good quality. At least he has investigated the key clue of nw paralysis toxin. On the one hand, it can narrow the scope of the murderer, and on the other hand, it is also reminding us that there may be traitors." Su Tao whispered to Vera.
There was a cold look in Vera's eyes. There were problems with the three major projects, and there must be insiders who were making trouble. "I suspect it was Fei Lemei. He was nominally a secretary and had a lot of power in his hands. My father handed him almost all the work. He was smart enough. I investigated his financial situation, but there was no flaw."
Su Tao understood Vera's meaning. When a person lives in a prominent position without any handle, this is not a good thing. There is only one possibility that he covets a higher position, or seeks more things.
