Chapter 40: Chapter 40 - 40 He Seems Like a Dog_i

Greg Jensen watched his retreating figure, and deliberately jeered aloud, “Iris, look at Brandon Brent, wearing a trench coat in the middle of summer. Isn’t he afraid of getting heat rash?”

Lois Abbott also raised her voice, “He must be on his last legs. I remember my grandfather being very cold when he was dying.”

“Yeah, he looks like a dog!” Greg Jensen sneered with a cold laugh.

When Brandon Brent heard their words, he stopped in his tracks, almost stumbled and fell. He staggered a few steps and then ran away quickly.

“Hahahaha…”

Watching this scene, Greg Jensen and Lois Abbott burst into laughter at the same time.

“By the way, what exactly happened? How did the fish die?”

Greg Jensen glanced at the hall and saw that all the fish in the tank were dead, which made him somewhat curious.

Lois Abbott was also at a loss, frowning, “I don’t know what happened. They were fine ten minutes ago. It was just when we were welcoming President Zhu, and by the time I came back, the fish were dead.”

“Ten minutes?”

“Is there something wrong?”

Greg Jensen frowned and said, “Dragon fish might be delicate, but they wouldn’t die within such a short time, especially with no signs at all.”

Lois Abbott looked puzzled, “Then what happened?”

“There’s only one possibility, and that is poisoning!”

“Poisoning?”

Lois Abbott’s face changed, and she looked coldly at the hotel employees standing beside her, shouting angrily, “Who did it? Stand out!”

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke up.

Greg Jensen sneered, “If you say it like that, that person won’t stand out.”

“What should we do then?”

Now, Lois Abbott relied on Greg Jensen more and more because she had found that as long as Greg Jensen was by her side, she didn’t need to worry about any problems.

Greg Jensen looked at the hotel employees and asked, “Who has come in contact with the dragon fish just now? Stand out.”

Two waiters glanced at each other and hurriedly stepped forward.

Harry Cooper stood in the crowd, bit his teeth, yet did not move.

“Recount the process.”

Greg Jensen pointed at one of them and said, “You first.”

The waiter hurriedly responded, “We just pushed the fish tank with the dining cart from the office to the first-floor hall, that’s all. We really didn’t poison it.”

The other waiter said, “Yeah, the whole process is under surveillance, you can check if you don’t believe.”

Lois Abbott asked, “Greg, is it them?”

Greg Jensen remained silent and shook his head, then asked, “Did anyone else come in contact with the dragon fish?”

“Someone else…”

Lois Abbott glanced over the crowd and said in a low voice, “The procurement manager Harry Cooper had contact too, but it shouldn’t be him. He’s been with my dad for so many years.”

Greg Jensen shook his head and directly called out, “Where’s Harry Cooper? Come out!”

Harry Cooper’s face showed a slight change, but he quickly returned to normal and stepped out from the crowd.

Greg Jensen looked him in the eye and asked, “Was there surveillance when you came in contact with the dragon fish?”

“No, there’s no way there would be surveillance in President Abbott’s office,” Harry Cooper said quite naturally, “Besides, I didn’t really have much contact with the dragon fish, just helped move it onto the dining cart.”

Greg Jensen’s brow furrowed as he asked, “After it was moved onto the cart, where did you go? Didn’t you come down with the cart?”

Harry Cooper shook his head, “No, after moving it onto the cart, I made a phone call and then went to the kitchen to check on the preparation of the side dishes.”

A hint of a cold smile appeared on Greg Jensen’s lips as he continued to ask, “Who did you call, and for how long?”

Harry Cooper’s face changed, and he frowned, “I don’t need to tell you whom I’m calling, do I?”

“Got something to hide?”

Greg suddenly smiled, moved closer to him, and sniffed, then said, “It was you.”

Harry’s expression immediately darkened, and he looked at Lois Abbott unhappily, “Ms. Abbott, shouldn’t we talk about evidence for everything?

Isn’t it too bullying to accuse me of poisoning the Dragon fish without any proof?”

Lois also felt it was improbable, but instead of speaking up, she turned to look at Greg.

“The Dragon fish was poisoned with cyanide, which has a faint almond scent. You have the same scent on you. You still dare to say the death of the Dragon fish has nothing to do with you?”

After completing the first stage of Qi Refinement, Greg’s nose was even keener than that of the average drug-sniffing dog. He had smelled the strong scent of bitter almonds by the fish tank, and he smelled it on Harry too.

What’s more, those two waiters simply had no opportunity to poison it, and they couldn’t possibly have been bribed by Brandon Brent.

These waiters were randomly summoned by Harry; Brandon wouldn’t hire waiters for that.

Because he couldn’t be certain which waiter would come into contact with the Dragon fish.

Unless he bribed all the waiters, but that’s an impossibility.

Therefore, Greg concluded that the death of the Dragon fish was Harry’s doing.

Faced with Greg’s questioning, a hint of panic flashed in Harry’s eyes, and he turned his head subconsciously, snorting coldly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Not convinced, huh? Come on, let me take you to find the evidence.”

Greg said, then rode the elevator up to the second floor, entering Lois’s office.

Lois, Harry, and all the employees followed.

Once inside the office, Greg directly picked up the garbage can and dumped everything out.

He stared down for a moment before picking up a small piece of paper and sniffing it from a distance.

“This is the paper you used to wrap the cyanide, isn’t it?”

Greg sneered, “I must say, you’re really bold, using such a simple packaging.

Weren’t you afraid of poisoning yourself?”

“Just because you say so?”

Harry glanced at him disdainfully, then said, “Ms. Abbott, have you had enough of this? If this continues, I’ll have no choice but to resign.”

Lois looked at Greg with some difficulty.

Greg scoffed, “Still not giving up? Alright then, let’s take this piece of paper to the patrol office for testing.

Let’s see if there’s cyanide on it, whether it has your fingerprints.”

“Go ahead then, who’s afraid of who.”

Harry still harbored a sliver of hope, because Brandon Brent’s father was the Chief of Riverhaven County Patrol, and he would definitely help him.

However, Greg’s next words completely shattered all his illusions.

“Of course, we can’t take it to the county patrol office. We must send it to the provincial identification center. After all, those Dragon fish are worth tens of thousands, enough for a criminal charge!”

Boom!

Upon hearing this, Harry’s head buzzed, and his face instantly turned pale.

He knew he had no way to deny it!

If that piece of paper was really sent for testing, they would definitely find cyanide and his fingerprints.

By that time, he would be truly finished.

Harry’s lips curved into a bitter smile as he spoke softly, “Ms. Abbott, could you please ask everyone else to step out?”

Seeing this, Lois easily realized what was going on, and she suddenly became furious.

“It was you? Harry Cooper, you’ve been with my father for so many years, in what way did my father wrong you? How could you do such a despicable thing!”
