CHAPTER 788
After an hour, the man was sent in.
Meredith measured the skinny man up. He saw her too, then his expression slowly turned into surprise.
Clearly, he recognized her.
“You know me?” Meredith got up from the sofa, walked over to him, and asked, “That’s strange. If you were to accidentally crash into me, how do you know me?”
The man calmly shook his head. “No, I don’t know you.”
“But your expressions sold you out. You know me. From this, I could see that the day of the accident was not the first time you saw me.” Meredith pretended to ponder for a while. “Let me guess. Someone must have shown you a photo of me and my husband so that you could
crash into us, right” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“No. No. It’s nothing like that.” The man shook his head. “Miss, you’re mistaken. I really don’t know you.”
Meredith took out a check from her back and raised it in front of him. “This is twenty thousand dollars. All you need to do is tell me whether someone ordered you to do this, and who was the one who ordered you to do it, and this will be yours.”
The man was stunned. His eyes sparkled when he saw the check. Looking at his gaze, Meredith knew that this man was a greedy one. She suspected him more and more that he accepted some money to execute a job. The man subconsciously reached his hand out.
Meredith moved the check aside. She looked at him. “Answer my questions first.”
The man’s gaze was fixed on the check. He immediately said, “Okay, I’ll tell you. Someone did indeed ask me to do it, but I don’t know who it was, because they didn’t tell me who they were.
“They didn’t tell you?” “Yes,” The man chuckled and said, “miss, think about it. Would anyone who pays someone for murder expose their identity? This is just digging their own grave. Also, things like this usually go through multiple levels. I’m the person at the bottom-most level, executing it. All they need to tell me is what the prey looks like and where they would usually be.” “Are you calling us prey?” Meredith was furious. “No, no, no. That’s not what I meant. I was just… making an example.” “Do you believe that I’ll call the police on you!?” The man paled in fear. He immediately said, “Miss, don’t do it. I’ve already said all I know. I really don’t know anything else.”
Meredith could see that he did not seem like he was lying.
Also, what he said made sense. Even if Josiah found someone to do it, he would not deal with
the person who was executing it directly.
At that moment, the only thing she was sure of was that someone had indeed ordered the kill. As for whether it was Josiah or not, she did not know. However, besides Josiah, she could no longer think of another person
Coming out of the booth, Meredith unintentionally heard a familiar voice. “Mister Leon, we know each other. Are you not even going to pay me a little?”
“B*tch! It is good enough that I want to sleep with you already, yet you are still asking for money?” A man swore and left.
Meredith suspiciously turned around and saw Quinley in thick makeup.
Quinley saw her too. Her expressions changed a little. Even her thick makeup could not hide her pale face.
“Miss Allison, have you…changed careers?” Meredith turned around to measure her up. Other than the thick makeup, Quinley was wearing something that barely covered herself, looking extremely flirtatious.
