201 The older you get, the harder it is to deal with

"Don't be nervous Mr. Parker, you have no suspicion for the time being. You just want to ask, you said in the report that you met Mr. Hobbs who was in charge of cleaning twice last night, right?"

"Yes, yes, sir."

Yago Parker looked at the expressionless old Hobbes, "I was around 3:10 am, and around 4:05 am.

I met Mr. Hobbs outside the cleaner's workshop on the first floor of the basement respectively and on the aisle on the seventh floor."

"Seventh floor?"

Li Changheng looked at Hobbs with a smile. The old man's extremely calm performance was set against the backdrop of Yago and the six nervous staff members just now, making it difficult for him not to doubt him.

Then when Laura Quinn heard the words on the seventh floor, not only did her already thin lips pursed tighter, but her eyes subconsciously hiding when they saw Li Changheng looking over.

Then he realized that he had a slightly unnatural smile.

When he saw Li Changheng's mouth curling up, Quinn immediately started to sweat when his nervous palms began to sweat, and his heartbeat also accelerated violently.

Now not only Li Changheng saw that her face began to turn red, but even Zhang Tianzhi, who was standing, saw the problem.

"Boss, the woman's face turned red, but her lips turned a little blue, which means her heartbeat was beating very fast and nervous at this time."

"Yeah, thank you," Li Changheng nodded with a smile. Anyway, the two of them spoke Cantonese, and no one else could understand.

Continue to ask Yago Parker, "Mr. Parker, did you often meet Mr. Hobbs when you were on night shifts in the past?"

"Yes, yes, sir, I and another night security guard were responsible for patrolling the 7th floor to the first floor underground from 1:00 to 5:00 a.m.

Of course, I often meet Mr. Hobbs who is in charge of cleaning."

"Then you can recall whether there was any difference between his expression, movement, and tone of his speech when he met Mr. Hobbs last night."

"this,,".

Yago Parker looked at Hobbs hesitantly, hesitating whether to stab the old man who has worked in the building for decades and is often regarded as air.

But unexpectedly, Hobbes smiled and comforted, "It's okay, Yago, I'm almost 70 years old, and the journey of life is about to come to an end.

And you are different. You still have two children to raise, just say everything you know."

"I, I," Yago Parker stuttered for several seconds, and finally closed his eyes and said, "Sorry, sir, I don't think there is anything different about Mr. Hobbs."

"Very good," Li Changheng smiled and looked at Yago's information, "You were fired, Mr. Parker."

The people present suddenly looked at Li Changheng incredible, and Yago Parker stood up and prayed incoherently.

"Wait, sir, you don't have the right to fire me."

Li Changheng, who was reading the report written by Hobbs, said without raising his head, "I just said that before the end of this case, my power will be greater than Sir Mill Aston.

Moreover, if you are not responsible for the cover of the person you are now likely to cause losses to the Diamond Group."

"Go out," Li Changheng said without any pity, "Because of your concealment, you are not qualified to continue to be the security of the Diamond Group."

"I say everything, I say everything."

Yago Parker said quickly, "Yesterday Hobbs was much tired than before, and when I saw him the second time, there were a lot of sweat and wet marks on his head and clothes."

Lee Changheng glanced at Yago and said to Andrew, "Help me give Mr. Parker £360, which is his three-month salary, as compensation for his job search.

Then you take it out and stay outside, don't let anyone in, understand?"

When he heard that Li Changheng gave his three-month salary as compensation, Yago sat on the chair but didn't make any more trouble.

And when Andrew heard Li Changheng's words, he knew what Li Changheng was saying and didn't want him to hear it.

Zhang Tianzhi doesn't know how to speak English, so Li Changheng doesn't care what he hears.

He put away the folder, took a sip of coffee, then looked at Hobbs and Quinn and said, "How about telling you a story before revealing the answer?"

“I like to listen to stories and talk to people more because since my wife passed away.

When I work, most of them think I am a transparent person. Even if I take the initiative to talk to them, they always look perfunctory and say a few words to me casually.

When I got home, I couldn’t find any way to pass the time except reading books.”

Hobbs looked at Li Changheng with some emotion and said, "I hope it is a good story and a good ending."

"The story is wonderful, as for the ending," Li Changheng smiled, "I don't know what the ending will be. Maybe you can think of one for me, how about it?"

Hobbs suddenly felt a lot more relaxed and said with a smile, "It depends on the story you tell, whether it can impress me and inspire me."

"Very good," Li Changheng was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Fifteen years ago, a couple who had been loving for 32 years suddenly found out that their wife had cancer.

Originally, this early cancer is not a fatal disease. If you have a casual belly surgery and cut off the pathogen, the probability of that wife living will be very high. It is not impossible to live for more than ten years or more.

Moreover, the husband of this couple has insisted on taking out health insurance that benefits the entire family for more than ten years.

Therefore, although the husband and wife were anxious and worried, they were not afraid to sleep all night and could not eat.

Instead, in order for his wife to get the surgery earlier, he took out his savings, went to a large hospital to pay the premium, and then waited for the insurance company to pay the premium."

"It's a pity that when the husband waited for almost a week, he went to find someone from the insurance company for the second time.

The answers obtained still need to be reviewed, and waiting for the insurance investigator to determine if the wife is really cancerous."

Li Changheng stopped talking, seeing that Hobbes' expression had not changed much, but a little tears flashed in his eyes.

I know the plot in my memory, and it is the same as Hobbes's experience in this world.

"This wait is a month."

"When the hospital informed the husband that the operation could be scheduled for the couple, the couple did not have enough money to pay the surgery fee."

"But that husband had no choice but to work night shifts every night and go to the insurance company during the day, and the answers he could get were always waiting for the review results.

In the end, he had no choice but to go to the company where he worked. Unfortunately, reality disappointed him again. Without any surprise, the result he got was also cold rejection."

"A life that could have been saved was finally delayed by the insurance company, and even a rogue person who was unwilling to pay premiums.

My wife, who missed an opportunity, finally died in despair without waiting for the moment she went on the operating table."

Seeing that Hobbes' eyes were filled with tears, Li Changheng couldn't help but stop and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Hobbes, do you need me to continue?"

"Tell me, kid," Hobbs took out his hand towel and wiped away his tears. "The protagonist of this story has a bit similar to mine. My wife also died of cancer. I want to hear what the ending is."

Dead old man.
