"We investigated a ledger that recorded the real reason for David's murder."

"David once borrowed a payment from Mr. Stanley from twenty Crows, and this payment continued to roll because of interest, and David still failed to pay off the interest."

"But interestingly, just after Mr. Stanley's death, the amount was crossed out, that is, it was liquidated, and the time was recorded next to it, which was the second day after Mr. Stanley's death."

Speaking of this, Brock's eyes lit up slightly, and he was shimmering with the pride of "catching the murderer". "After seeing the account book, David admitted his behavior, which he crossed out."

Pasia's first reaction was to look towards Hoden: It was not very good to hear the case here, as if Mr. Lehman was indeed the murderer; and Mr. Lehman also admitted the charges?

Hoden still listened attentively, without expressing his opinion, and his expression did not change much.

Brock's voice trembled slightly, unable to suppress his excitement. "In Mr. Stanley's personal schedule notepad, he recorded a date that night, which was nine o'clock."

"So, I guess, David should have agreed in advance that Mr. Stanley would meet in hopes of asking for wages, because his life really cannot support him, but Mr. Stanley rejected David's request and took the initiative to raise the high debt. He believed that David was still carrying debts and that he was willing to work for David was already a kind almighty almighty, which made David lose his mind in anger."

"So, an accident happened like this."

Brock said confidently, "From the cause of the crime to the time of the crime, all elements are in line with each other, and David was unable to refute it. Such evidence is enough, and we can already convict directly. So, I think the truth of the case should be revealed."

"The part of the salary withheld is not enough to make an honest man commit a crime; but a huge debt and the heavy responsibility of raising the entire family are enough to make a man commit a crime."

Speaking of this, Brock showed some regretful eyes - the tears of the crocodile, "I am just the sheriff. I am only responsible for finding the truth, but I cannot judge the right or wrong of the matter. I can understand that in order to support the burden of the entire family, and to bear huge debts, a parent is prone to losing control when he is desperate. Perhaps an impulse will lead to regretting the mistake he made, and no one wants it to happen."

"I have sympathy for David's experience, but justice is justice, and we need to stick to the truth."

Brock's righteous and stern appearance seemed to be standing on the stage and singing loudly, showing off his fancy high notes in a stunning manner, and was satisfied. At this time, he was slightly raising his jaw and waiting for applause.

"Behind every family, there is their own joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness." Hoden did not give Brock praises, but continued to follow Brock's words. "When we stand outside, we obviously cannot understand what they are really experiencing."

Although Brock did not get the praise he expected, Hoden's words still made him nod and expressed his approval.

Then you can see the smile on the corner of Hoden's mouth rise gently, with a little regret and regret, "Do you know? When Mr. Lehman and his wife were newly married, they were looking forward to the arrival of their first child with joy, but their salary was not enough to support the first month's rent."

"So Mrs. Lehman pawned the pearl necklace she inherited from her mother, and used the money to rent a simple room, which started their life as the beginning of the wedding."

Regarding Mr. Lehman's loan, Horden discovered it accidentally.

Because Mr. Lehman is a very honest person who works down-to-earth, does not drink alcohol or gamble, and does not even have a spare time, he is absolutely impossible to borrow usury casually - behind that loan, there is obviously a story.

"Later, the Lehmans had a stable family with a total of four children. Although life was hard, they slowly got on the right track."

"For this reason, Mr. Lehman always thanked his wife, for her sacrifice and dedication, and for her company and support. So he borrowed a loan from Mr. Stanley and bought a pearl necklace, which he gave to his wife as a birthday gift."

"Although their lives can only be barely made for a living, and this necklace is a luxury, Mr. Lehman still hopes to express his inner love for his wife in his own way. She once sacrificed the most precious connection between himself and his mother for the sake of this family; now he maintains another bond for his wife and keeps her with the entire family."

It was precisely because Hoden knew Mr. Lechman that when he accidentally discovered that Mr. Lechman bought a necklace, this aroused curiosity.

Mr. Lehman told Horden the truth in embarrassment, his expression was a little shy and restrained, and two red embarrassment floating on his fair cheeks.

In Hoden's opinion, this is the most romantic thing in the world, not because Mr. Lehman bought the necklace, but because of the mutual care and love between the Lehman and his wife.

That necklace was the reason why Mr. Lehman borrowed usury. Although Mr. Lehman did not like debt, he also deeply understood his wife's sacrifice and efforts over the past decade, so he took this step.

Brock was slightly stunned. Although he could not understand why Hoden knew so well about Mr. Lehman, he missed the opportunity to interrupt Hoden. Then the sincere emotions in Hoden's words were in line with his previous words. He could not slap himself in the face now, so he nodded and sighed.

However, confusion still kept Brock a little sober and calm, "Indeed, we all need to empathize, but killing is killing, and we need to uphold justice."

"Of course." Hoden nodded with a smile, "but we also need to be calm. I mean, obviously when Mr. Lehman decided to borrow the loan, he knew what he was doing, not for gambling or drinking, and he was ready for long-term repayment, so how could he suddenly regret it?"

Brock tried to refute Hoden and vaguely smelled the abnormality, but Hoden did not give him a chance.

"Maybe, there is more possibility for things; maybe, Mr. Lehman has some concealment."

Instead of denying Brock's inference, Hoden raised reasonable doubts.

"I wonder if you have confirmed other books of Mr. Stanley? As far as I know, lenders of the same level as Mr. Stanley have partners, each of them has their own books. If Mr. Lechman just crossed out the money from Mr. Stanley's account, what about the other partners?"

"Has the related items in the partner's account also been crossed out? Or have other partners encountered an unfortunate accident like Mr. Stanley?"
