Chapter 152: The Secret in the Box

Cheng Shi was shocked when he heard this. When he was in Zales, he made up a story about Albert and Anya getting married and having children.
If this woman is that Anya, then the story he just told becomes a real thing.
Cheng Shi then asked in a low voice: "Is she really pregnant?!"
Francis raised his head and said: "Yes, it has been four months. Why would the murderer kill a pregnant woman?!"
Cheng Shi did not answer Francis, but thought for a moment and then said: "Only the murderer knows this."
Cheng Shi paused and then said: "I won't disturb you and continue the inspection. I will leave first. Please notify me after the inspection is completed."
Francis continued to examine, while Cheng Shi and Deng Xin walked out of the laboratory, took off their clothes, and went to the first floor.
When Cheng Shi was about to continue questioning Albert, a patrolman ran over and said, "Agent Cheng, I have your phone number."
Cheng Shi then changed his mind and followed the patrolman to answer his call. Cheng Shi picked up the phone and said, "Hello, what do you need from me?"
A voice that sounded familiar to Cheng Shi came from the other side, and Cheng Shi quickly remembered that it was William, the deputy manager of the Bank of France.
William said: "Agent Cheng, two of us are here and want to open a safe that Aaron deposited on the day he withdrawn the money."
When Cheng Shi heard this, his heart moved and he quickly asked: "Are these two people a man and a woman, and are they two Americans?!"
William continued: "It's a man and a woman, and both of them speak English. They should be Americans. They are waiting for news here."
Cheng Shi then said: "Okay, you can stabilize them both. I'll be there in a minute."
After Cheng Shi hung up the phone, he then said to the patrolman beside him: "You should find two people immediately and rush to the Bank of France."
Cheng Shi said to Deng Xin: "Catherine and Jim really have a problem. Let's rush over and catch them directly."
Before Deng Xin understood what Cheng Shi meant, he saw Cheng Shi rushing out, and Deng Xin had no choice but to follow him.
Cheng Shi quickly arrived at the Bank of France with Deng Xin on his motorcycle. William was waiting for them anxiously at the door.
After the two got off the car, William came over and said anxiously: "Our manager is talking to them in the reception room.
If they knew we wouldn't open the box for them, they would probably leave immediately."
Cheng Shi nodded and said, "I understand, let's go there right away."
Not far away, a man saw Cheng Shi arriving and ran over. This man was Wu Nanxin who Cheng Shi had arranged to monitor the two of them.
Before Wu Nanxin could ask him, Cheng Shi said, "We'll talk about it later. Let's go and see these two people who hide themselves well."
When a group of four people arrived at the door of the reception room, Cheng Shi heard Jim's somewhat angry voice.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense and why don't you take us to open the safe? We have the voucher code and key here. What do you still doubt?!"
Cheng Shi opened the door directly and said, "Because the things in this box are not yours, how could they give them to you."
After hearing Cheng Shi's voice, both of them turned around in surprise, and Catherine immediately stood up from the sofa.
Catherine said in surprise: "Why are you here?!"
Cheng Shi sneered and said, "This is why I want to ask you two why you are here."
Jim said coldly: "We came here to pick up things, what kind of laws did we break?!"
Cheng Shi looked at Jim who was speaking and said with a smile: "You have obtained something belonging to the deceased in a murder case. What is your relationship with him? If there is no relationship.
Now I suspect that you are seeking wealth and murder, so I have arrested you all. If you don’t want to be arrested, just tell me everything honestly.”
When Jim was about to have a seizure, Catherine waved to stop Jim. Cheng Shi narrowed his eyes after seeing Catherine's action.
Catherine smiled and said: "Agent Cheng, you have investigated this place a long time ago, but you didn't tell me, when did you suspect me?!"
Cheng Shi nodded and said: "I have suspected you from the first time we met, but I didn't know what you were hiding.
So I just kept a close eye on you, when I told you that Aaron was killed because he stole Albert's things.
The look in your eyes was not a look of inquiry, but a look of excitement. I knew you were after the things in the box."
Catherine smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "I didn't expect that it was just a look that exposed me. Agent Cheng is really awesome."
Cheng Shi continued: "You don't have to say compliments to me, you'd better explain your affairs from beginning to end."
Catherine calmed down at this time, and then told her story. She discovered a strange thing in the choir.
It seems that Albert has a very high status in the French Concession. Even the American director Ryan is very afraid of Albert.
Until one time she accidentally heard the two of them arguing. She heard intermittently something like "you threaten me, and you will be finished when I am finished."
She also quickly figured out that Albert should have something to do with American director Ryan. After thinking about this.
Catherine had an idea in her mind, and they decided to steal that thing from Albert.
It was difficult for Catherine to find out information as a woman, so she arranged for Merlin to enter the choir to look for opportunities to steal things.
Catherine did not expect that Merlin was suddenly killed. She was originally going to run away, but she found that Albert did not attack her.
So Catherine stayed and prepared to continue looking for opportunities to get that thing, but they never found anything.
Catherine accidentally discovered the keys and vouchers left in the podium, and they had no idea what was in the safe.
She didn't take those things so as not to alert others. Only when she heard what Cheng Shi said did she know what was in the safe.
After listening to Catherine's story, Cheng Shi stared at Catherine without comment and said directly.
"I don't care whether the story you tell is true or false. Just hand over the key and I will believe your words for the time being."
Catherine sighed when she heard this, and then reluctantly took out the voucher and key from her pocket.
Cheng Shi took the two keys, looked at them carefully, then handed the keys to William and said.
"Now that the head of the household is dead, the things inside are important evidence in a case. I hope you can take them out directly."
William looked at the manager beside him. After the manager nodded, William said with a smile.
"That's no problem. Please come with me. It's best if you open this box yourself."
Cheng Shi smiled and said, "This is best."
Cheng Shi asked Deng Xin and Wu Nanxin to keep an eye on Jim and Catherine, and he followed William into a heavily protected storage room.
