Chapter 142 Hired a Murderer

The whole day, Gloria Taylor didn’t see Loren Taylor in the company.

She asked a colleague, “The chairman didn’t come today, did he?”

That colleague looked around and said in a low voice, “I heard that the chairman has gone abroad.”

Gloria Taylor was surprised. Why did Loren Taylor suddenly go abroad?

Suddenly, she remembered what she told Loren Taylor before.

Could it be that he go abroad to take Grandpa Taylor home?

Loren Taylor refused her idea before.

However, even though Loren Taylor was a bad businessman, he could still think rationally when it came to interests.

Gloria Taylor thought of Kenny Clarke’s mother.

The kidnapping of Mrs. Clarke was a planned crime for ransom, but her kidnappers were angry that she was killed.

However, she was not simply murdered, but she was raped to death.

If they just wanted money, they would keep his mother alive.

There were two possibilities.

First, their purpose was solely to kill Kenny Clarke’s mother.

Second, some people in the Clarke family didn’t want her alive, so they arranged someone to kill her.

When the kidnapping happened, the news were all over the newspaper. It took a few days before they could find Kenny Clarke and his mother. However, if the kidnappers just wanted the money, they wouldn’t bother hiding them for days. They would call the Clarke instead.

Since then, the details and judgements couldn’t be trusted.

Gloria Taylor knew about that and Kenny Clarke must have known better.

Most of the time, when people encountered a thing that had nothing to do with them, even though they had doubts and confusion about it, but they would forget it. After all, it had nothing to do with them.

But, Kenny Clarke was different. That woman was his biological mother and before his own eyes, she was humiliated by a group of men.

He must live in hatred and remorse over the years.

That was probably the reason of why black cloud seemed to follow him around.

Therefore, he didn’t socialize much.

When she was abducted by two men, Kenny Clarke would do anything to save her.

Now, he forced Grandpa Taylor to go back home. Did he have anything to do with the kidnapping?

Bang!

Gloria Taylor was so shocked that when all the documents in her hand fell to the ground.

She seemed to know what Kenny Clarke was planning to do.

***

At noon, Gloria Taylor called Kenny Clarke and invited him for lunch.

Kenny Clarke unexpectedly refused her invitation this time.

Soon, Leon Clarke sent her a message, “Sister, what would you like to have for lunch?”

“I don’t know. I haven’t eaten yet. Have you?”

“What a coincidence! I haven’t eaten either.”

Gloria Taylor knew that he meant.

“I’ll go to the restaurant to order it for you. The food will be ready when you arrive. I’ll send you the address.”

Leon Clarke helped her order the dishes.

He smiled and sat down. He picked the chopstick up and tasted one of the dishes. He frowned, “It’s not as delicious as your cooking.”

“Don’t flatter me.” Gloria Taylor glared at him.

When they were having their lunch, suddenly Leon Clarke’s phone rang.

He stopped eating to see the caller ID. He sighed, “Tao Bing?”

“What? They boy you beat yesterday?” Gloria Taylor leaned closer to look at the screen.

He nodded, “Yes. I don’t know why he calls me.”

As soon as he picked up, Tao Bing’s hysterical voice sounded on the other end of the phone, “Leon Clarke! Do you send someone to kill my father?!”

“Tao Bing, are you crazy? I didn’t hit your head yesterday. Why is your brain broken?” Leon Clarke snorted.

“You will pay for my father’s life!” Tao Bing threatened him and hung up the phone.

Gloria Taylor heard him too, “Did he say that you kill his father?”

“He is probably gone mad. What do I have to do with his father? Why would I kill him?” Leon Clarke didn’t understand.

However, not long after that, there were two men come approaching them.

They had tall built and a pair of serious eyes.

Intuitively, Gloria Taylor felt that they were policemen.

She stood in front of Leon Clarke.

Sure enough, the police approached them and one showed an arrest warrant, “Hello. We are from the police brigade. We suspect that Mr. Leon Clarke is involved in a criminal case. Please, cooperate with the investigation.”

They locked their eyes on Leon Clarke.

Gloria Taylor turned to look at Leon Clarke.

He was only a little bit surprised, but Gloria Taylor was the opposite. She waved her hand, “He is a minor. Does he need a guardian to come along?”

One of the policemen explained the procedure.

Gloria Taylor accompanied him to the police station.

On their way, she called Kenny Clarke and told him what happened.

When they arrived at the police station, they saw Shi Ye and Car Cook.

As soon as Carl Cook saw them coming, he came up lazily, “Officer Qi, long time no see. You look even manlier.”

Officer Qi was the policeman who explained her the arrest procedure before. Perhaps, because he had been dealing with so many criminal cases for years, his face was always fierce and intimidating.

Officer Qi smiled when he saw Carl Cook, “Carl, what are you doing here?”

Carl Cook and Officer Qi knew each other.

Carl Cook stepped forward and put his arms on Officer Qi’s shoulder. He raised his chin and pointed at Leon Clarke’s direction, “I’m his distant relative.”

“You and the Clarke family are distant relatives?” Officer Qi sneered.

He couldn’t fool the police.

“You did your homework with our background, eh? You’re so bold that you dare to touch him.”

Officer Qi smiled, “Even if he is a king, if he commits crime, I will arrest him.”

“Well, if that’s the case…” Carl Cook looked at Gloria Taylor with reassuring look and said, “You can regard me as the child’s guardian. I will stay to listen to the interrogation.”

“You can’t do that.”

“Brother Qi.”

“Alright, fine!”

***

Inside the interrogation room, they looked at Leon Clarke seriously.

“Is Tao Bing your classmate?”

“Yes.”

“His father was killed at 6 A.M this morning. He had no enemy before his death. You had a problem with Tao Bing before. We suspect that you hired a murderer.”

Leon Clarke remembered what Tao Bing said on the phone before, “Tao Bing’s father?”
