Chapter 600 Close Friend
Luke took a sip of coffee and asked, "Ms. Carioca, what do you think is the most important thing about interacting with people?"
Mia Carioca was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't know why Luke asked this, and slowly said two words, "Respect."
Luke nodded, "Yes, respect is mutual. Only when you respect me can I respect you.
And cheating is a sign of disrespect for the other person.
Just like you are now. "
"I didn't lie, everything I said was true." Mia Carioca looked sincere.
Luke continued to stare at the other person and asked, "Did you already know about the murder of Grace Bloomberg?"
Mia Carioca shook her head, "I don't know, I just heard you say it."
"If this is your attitude, then there is no need for us to talk." Luke stood up, took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Hi, Michael, this is Luke.
What happened to what the terrorist told me...
Well, I get it.
Since he is not cooperating and may have hidden other dangerous items, I feel it is necessary to conduct a detailed search of the Venus Club.
This will ensure the safety of every guest in the club.
You should bring more people with you, in case there are any accomplices.
Okay, we'll meet at the club later. "
Luke hung up the phone and said to Mia Carioca, "Ma'am, let's talk about this first today. I have other cases to investigate."
Luke didn't deliberately lower his voice when he called, so Mia Carioca heard it clearly. She didn't know that Luke was threatening her. As long as her answer dissatisfied him, he would arrest her. The club was raided in the name of arresting terrorists.
It is said to be a search, but in fact it is harassment. This kind of behavior will invade the privacy of customers and make them feel that this club is unsafe.
Moreover, the customers of the Venus Club are all people with status. If they learn that the FBI has come to the club to investigate terrorism, they will definitely feel disgusted and will not come to the club to spend money in the future. Then sooner or later, her club will collapse.
Mia Carioca angrily accused, "You can't do this. What's the difference between using such despicable means to force me and a robber?"
Luke looked confused and asked, "Ms. Carioca, what are you talking about?"
"Please stop raiding the club, which will bring a devastating blow to the club's reputation.
This club doesn't belong to me alone. There are other people behind it, and you can't afford to offend me. "
Luke laughed, "Are you threatening me?"
"No, that's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?
Why have you been obstructing our investigation into terrorists? Or are you saying that you have something to do with terrorists because you are worried that we will find evidence of cooperation between you? "
"This is a false accusation. I don't know what the fear is."
Luke said, "Every fear score I've checked says that.
Before the investigation, they were innocent and good citizens, but in private they were ruthless devils. "Luke stood up, "I don't have time to talk nonsense with you here.
Amir, send Lady Carioca away. "
Mia Carioca did not stand up, but stared at Luke closely. The expression on her face also changed again and again. There was fear and anger, but more of it was helplessness. "Sorry, I just said Lie.
Please don't let the FBI raid the club.
I'm willing to tell the truth. "
Luke did not sit back in the chair, but asked condescendingly, "You say it, and I listen."
Seeing that Luke would leave at any time, Mia Carioca took a deep breath and did not dare to hesitate, "I did know about Grace's murder.
This is also the reason why I avoided the FBI before. "
Luke pressed, "So, you admitted that you were involved in Grace Bloomberg's death."
“This matter is a bit complicated to talk about, and it involves some of Grace’s privacy, which is why I don’t want to talk about it.
Once I say it, it might cause some trouble for Grace. "
"Dead people don't need privacy, and there's no trouble. You can talk about it now."
"Are you sure you really want to know? Sometimes even if you have done nothing wrong, you will offend others if you know something you shouldn't know."
"Who are you referring to?"
Mia Carioca pointedly said, "Although Grace is dead, her husband is still alive."
"It seems you want to use the mayor of New York to suppress me." Luke smiled and asked, "Do you know why we are investigating you?"
"Could it be..." Mia Carioca seemed to have guessed something, with a look of dejection on her face, and sighed, "In this case, there is no need for me to hide it anymore.
Grace did call me that night.
Although I didn't go to comfort her, I sent another person, and I thought that person was more suitable than me..." Mia Carioca hesitated to speak.
"who?"
"Filippo Carter."
"who is he?"
"Our club's employees."
“What’s his relationship with Grace Bloomberg?”
"A good friend, a very good friend. He can not only heal Grace's inner loneliness, but also make up for the emptiness in her body."
“Filippo Carter is Grace Bloomberg’s lover?”
"No, they won't have real feelings, this is just a job for Filippo Carter, and Grace knows this very well.
Filippo Carter exists to make Grace happy.
Be there when she needs you.
If you leave when you don't need it, there will be no consequences. "
"Did Grace Bloomberg take the initiative to ask Filippo Carter to comfort Grace Bloomberg, or was it your order?"
“Grace didn’t say it clearly, but I could guess what she was thinking.
She was angry with her husband just now...
I know very well that she can't fight against her rich and powerful husband, and she must be holding back her anger.
This method can not only help her get revenge on her husband, but also vent her anger. "
Luke took advantage of the situation and said, "Because they wanted to have an affair, they found a remote place. Is that why they died halfway up a mountain in the suburbs of New York?"
“I don’t know where they went and I’m not going to ask.
And this is not the first time they have gone out. There was no problem before. Who knew something would happen this time. "Mia Carioca sighed, showing a self-deprecating look, "You know? When this happened, I was the most unlucky one.
I had good intentions, but now I'm getting into trouble and affecting the club's business. "
“How long have Grace Bloomberg and Filippo Carter known each other?”
"About three months."
"How do the two of them get along? Have there been any conflicts?"
"Absolutely impossible.
Our club will never allow conflicts between employees and customers. Everything about the customers is right.
And as far as I know, the two of them have a good relationship.
Filippo Carter was young, tall, handsome, and strong;
Grace has identity and status, and she is not very old. Instead, she has the elegance of a lady.
They match well together and are harmonious in that aspect. "Mia Carioca stopped talking and licked her lips.
"Sorry, I was biased.
On the night of the accident, Filippo Carter called me to tell me that Grace had been murdered.
I was petrified at the time, and only after careful confirmation with Filippo Carter did I believe it. "
"Tell me more about what happened between the two of them that night?"
“I asked Filippo Carter how Grace died and he couldn’t tell.
I asked repeatedly if he did it, and he said no.
Moreover, I don’t think he has the courage.
As for what exactly happened, I didn't ask much.
The more you know about this kind of thing, the more troublesome it becomes.
As I am now, I would rather Filippo Carter had told me nothing.
In this way, I will not be implicated, and the business of Venus Club will not be affected. "
Luke ignored Mia Carioca's thoughts and continued to ask, "Where is Filippo Carter now?"
"I don't know. I gave him a period of leave. I asked him not to go to the club for the time being. I was worried that he would affect the club." Mia Carioca said helplessly, "But I didn't expect you to still come to the door. Yes, I told you everything.
I hope you won't make things difficult for me anymore. "
"So, your role in this case is that of a pimp?"
Mia Carioca frowned and said, “I don’t like this title.
Grace prefers to call me a close friend. "
Luke joked, "The result is that your close friend killed her."
"Grace's death had nothing to do with me.
I have no reason to kill her.
If there is anyone in this world who doesn't want her to die, that person is probably me.
I assure you, I am more sincere than her husband on this point. "
"Then who do you think killed her?"
"I have no idea.
really do not know.
The water behind big people like them is very deep, and I am just a small character, so I can't see clearly or understand it at all.
All I can do is serve them well and make them happy. "
Luke stared at the other person, "If you want me to believe you, help us find the whereabouts of Filippo Carter."
Mia Carioca agreed happily, "I know Filippo Carter's residential address. You can go there to find him. There is also his mobile phone number."
"write down."
Luke took out his phone and dialed Michael’s number, “Man, Mia Carioca has a new clue.
She sent a duck to host Grace Bloomberg that night.
Even if that duck is not the murderer, he may be a witness. I will send you the address. "
After Luke and Michael finished chatting, he said to Amir on the side, "Track Filippo Carter's mobile phone and confirm his location as soon as possible."
Amir picked up the note with his mobile phone number on the table and stood up, "I hope it's not too late."
