"After the accident happened to Leonard, only you and I are the only ones who are willing to reclaim justice for Joanne. So the things belonging to Joanne can be kept by both of us. Here's a souvenir for you."
Hearing Franklin's words, Polly wiped her tears and raised her head. Her eye makeup had been slightly dizzy and her voice was mute.
"I don't think it's an accident for Joanne to fall into the sea at all. Uncle Leonard and Aunt Leonard were not accidentally buried in the sea of fire. All these must be a conspiracy."
Franklin looked at her wonderingly.
Polly fumbled over her mobile phone from her bag on which it was the content of their chatting in the morning on that day the accident happened.
"You see, Joanne told me that Stan invited her family to have dinner at the hill top villa on the mountain that morning. But when the police made an investigation after the accident, Stan said that he had gone on a business trip that day and it was Joanne and her parents themselves who had dinner at the hill top villa. Isn't it too strange?"
"Why don't you tell the police about it?"
"It's no use," Polly took a deep breath and looked grim, "I showed it to the police but the police said it was not enough to prove that Stan had kept the appointment that night. And Stan did have enough alibi testify. But I just don't believe that it is so coincidental that when something happened to Leonard family, he just wasn't in Yanjing."
Thinking about it for a while, Franklin suddenly hit the table with the sound "bang', and then he said coldly.
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If it is really related to Stan, I will ask him to pay for his life to compensate Joanne."
"..."
The night was quiet.——
Jocelyn had scanned ed the Facebook for a long time, then she turned over and held the quilt to lie down. She turned off the reading light at her side and said to Arthur beside her.
"Good night."
Arthur was shocked, and the action of turning the page was also paused.
The next morning,
Because of going to work, Jocelyn got up very early.
In the Morrison family, the old master could not sleep well so he never had breakfast with others in the morning. At this time, Selena and her daughter still didn't get up. So there were only Arthur and her during the breakfast.
The servant took a letter and said, "Young lady, this has been in the mailbox yesterday. I forgot to give it to you. Is it yours?"
Jocelyn swallowed the bread in her mouth, took it over with one hand and looked at it, then she nodded.
"Well, it's mine."
Arthur sat beside her, glancing intentionally or unintentionally, "Olive Browne?"
Jocelyn looked up, "Why do you peep at my letter?"
"It's hard not to see the two big words." Arthur looked calm, "Who is Olive Browne? You never mentioned her."
Jocelyn said in a perfunctory way,
"My friend, a girl."
Emphasizing the word "girl", she put the letter away, with an attitude that she did not intend to read it in front of Arthur.
Anyway, it was a woman. She didn't have some private connection with a man. The young master could rest assured.
After eating breakfast, Jocelyn hurried out.
Seeing that she had left, the servant who had just taken the letter paced to the table.
"It is right that the sender should be a woman. She sent it from Yanjing Women's Prison. The content is about that she will be released from prison in the two days. She wanted to make an appointment with young lady and there is nothing else."
The person in prison?
Arthur raised his lips and there was the faint light in his eyes.
She was so capable that the person in prison wanted to go to her for shelter. Was she not afraid of getting herself into trouble?
The servant beside asked tentatively.
"Young master, don't you ask someone to investigate the background of Olive Browne and why she was imprisoned?"
Arthur looked at her with cool eyes.
"You seem to be very interested in that?"
"No... No..." The servant was so frightened that he sweated, "I think you are worried about young lady, and I have no other intention."
"Don't consider yourself clever and act accordingly."
Saying that, Arthur left the dining table and was pushed by the adjutant and went to the military area.
After being busy with the chores all day, Jocelyn left very quickly in the afternoon.
When the taxi arrived at the No. 2 entrance of Donghua Men Metro Station, from a distance, she could see a beautiful figure standing there, just like a sculpture.
It was so hot. But the "sculpture" stood straight like a beautiful landscape, so that people who came and went could not help but stop and watch.
The camouflage pants were stuffed into her martin boots and she was wearing the black navel-baring sports vest with the beautiful mermaid lines and clavicle exposed. She had neat short hair and looked very healthy with her wheat color skin. Her facial features were very clear and her nose was tall. Her eyebrows looked a little handsome. On her back was a big black shoulder bag.
"You look so cool."
Jocelyn rushed over as soon as she got out of the car and hugged Olive fiercely, "I have thought you were not going to contact me. After waiting for a long time, I have thought it is the time for you to write to me."
"The letter sent from prison needs to be checked. So it may take a long time."
Olive's voice was somewhat mute, and she said slowly, as if she was not used to speaking.
"It's right." said Jocelyn, and she smiled, "Fortunately, I just received it today. Otherwise, you'll have to wait here for a few days. Let's go. I'll treat you and invite you to a good meal."
Jocelyn and Olive knew each other in the women's prison.
At that time, the original owner of the body had died. Jocelyn was reborn on the body. At that time, she was being beaten by crazy women in prison. Olive helped her without any hesitation. So at the moment of rebirth, she opened her eyes and the first person she saw was Olive.
Nobody had thought that the woman, who was usually silent and didn't fight back even if being scolded and beaten by others, was so strong and powerful that she threw down all the women in the room easily and made one woman's arm injured seriously.
At that time, she was going to released from prison, so she gave Olive the address of Morrison family and asked her to send a letter to Morrison family before she was released from the prison. And in this way, they could make an appointment.
In the hotpot shop, the fog was thick.
Jocelyn stared at the stack of more than twenty plates in front of her and gaped.
"You haven't eaten so much in prison before. Don't eat too much."
Olive lowered his head to eat meat and shook his head to show an unconcerned look.
Jocelyn laughed and waved to the waiter in the distance who was also shocked.
"Five more plates of beef."
When Olive was full, Jocelyn asked her.
"Do you still have no idea what to do after getting out the prison?"
Olive nodded and looked stiff, "With the record of being put into prison, I can't enter the boxing ring."
Before, when they were acquainted with each other in prison, Olive told her that she used to be a boxing coach. Just same as Jocelyn, she also had been convicted of manslaughter for three years, and had almost been put into prison at the same time as Jocelyn, but had not been arranged in the same room at first.
A person with criminal record would not be accepted into the regular business place.
"Is anywhere else to treat people without blinkers?"
"Yes, nightclubs."
"Ah?" Jocelyn's face changed, "Are you kidding?"
