No Trespassing! My Aloof Brother-Chapter 403 - 401: Watertight [1st Update]
Therefore, he immediately looked at his family and said, "Mom, you all go out first."
"Okay! Okay! We’ll leave, you talk, if there’s anything, call mom." A gentle-looking middle-aged woman quickly agreed and then gathered the relatives to leave.
A moment later, only Elijah Reed and Kay Carter were left in the hospital ward.
Kay looked at Elijah standing beside him and nervously asked, "How is Ethan Turner? Is he okay?"
"Ethan Turner wasn’t as lucky as you. He died the same night despite emergency efforts."
"What? Ethan died, that’s impossible. I survived, how could he die?" The man’s emotions were somewhat agitated, unable to believe the truth.
Elijah watched the man’s excited demeanor, stepped forward from the entrance of the ward to the bedside, sat on a nearby chair, and stared straight at the man on the bed.
He said, "We are all saddened by Ethan’s passing. His parents have already taken him back, but we feel there are still unclear aspects about the accident, so we want to know more about the situation at that time."
"Although there was no surveillance at the accident scene, a netizen’s dashcam captured your car’s condition that night. Your car speed was very slow all the time. Were you arguing in the car?"
The speed of Ethan’s vehicle had always been a mystery they couldn’t figure out; under normal circumstances, vehicles on the overpass wouldn’t only have a speed of 40 to 50 kilometers per hour.
On the bed, Kay listened to Elijah’s inquiry and hurriedly said, "No, we couldn’t possibly have argued. That night, we were discussing work matters, so we left a bit late. Since my car was at the 4S shop for repairs and I hadn’t driven to work those days, Ethan offered to drive me home."
"We left the company at 8 o’clock, and after driving for a while, Ethan said he was a bit tired, and I also clearly felt drowsy, strangely sleepy, a symptom I rarely had, as if someone drugged us."
"Later on the overpass, Ethan said he was getting more tired, so he slowed down and turned on the right signal, intending to pull over to refresh. However, the freezer truck in front suddenly steered right and braked sharply. We didn’t react in time, and Ethan rear-ended it. That driver was really outrageous. We had clearly signaled, yet he suddenly changed lanes and braked, it was obviously intentional."
"Even so, our speed wasn’t fast at the time, and Ethan wasn’t seriously injured. When he unbuckled his seatbelt to check the situation, we were suddenly rear-ended by another car. I could sense the speed of the car behind us was very fast, fast enough to stun us, and after that, I remember nothing."
"In this accident, we were not primarily at fault. Ethan shouldn’t have died; the ones who should die are those two car drivers." Kay got more agitated as he spoke, clenching his fists tightly with eyes red and full of anger, wishing to kill those two drivers to avenge Ethan.
Elijah, after hearing Kay’s description of the situation at the time, not only found the two drivers suspicious but also their mental states.
Thus, with a furrowed brow, he asked, "That night in Ethan’s car, were both of you very sleepy? Very confused?"
"Yes, it’s very strange. We left the company at 8 o’clock, it wasn’t late, nor time for sleeping. Logically, our mental condition should have been fine." Kay also had a pile of questions regarding that night.
"Alright, I understand. If there is any progress, we will inform you immediately."
"Thank you." Kay politely thanked him, but the inner anger had not dissipated. He was furious that the deceased was Ethan and not those two unscrupulous drivers.
After leaving the hospital, Elijah fell into contemplation. Based on the clues provided by Kay, there was no way to determine any connection between the accident and the other two drivers. Even if their physical condition was abnormal, they couldn’t connect it to the two drivers.
There were many loopholes in the case, but this car accident indeed seemed to be a simple accident at face value, which made Elijah’s head ache, unsure of how to further investigate.
Even if drugs were detected in both men, it still couldn’t link back to the two yogurt delivery drivers, especially since they were cooperative in the investigation of the case and even admitted to stepping on the wrong pedal, simplifying the matters further, making deeper investigation difficult.
Thus, Elijah relayed Kay’s words to Liam Spencer.
After hearing Elijah’s report, Liam pondered for a moment and calmly said, "Investigating this case by ordinary means will yield no breakthroughs. Have Hudson Moore bring in those two drivers and seek a breakthrough from them. Also, check their relationships and living conditions."
"BOSS, having Sixth Young Master Moore handle it, this is going to cross..."
"This clearly isn’t a simple car accident case. The opposition is smart, leaving no traces, so there’s no need for politeness." Elijah was interrupted by Liam before he could finish.
In fact, he could vaguely guess a bit of the outline in his heart but couldn’t find any reason or cause, so he had to employ extraordinary measures to uncover the truth.
"Understood, BOSS." Elijah, listening to Liam’s instructions, immediately sprang into action.
On the other side, upon receiving Elijah’s phone call, Hudson Moore’s lips curled into a cold, malicious smile, saying, "For such matters, Assistant Reed, you should’ve contacted me earlier. Don’t worry, Third Brother! I’ll make sure to handle them well."
Not long after Elijah’s call with Hudson, the two freezer truck drivers were taken to a cold storage warehouse in S City by Hudson Moore.
Hudson Moore was notorious for his ruthless behavior, not blinking an eye to ’kill’, and since he hadn’t acted for a long time, he was itching to get started.
In the cold storage, the two drivers kneeled before Hudson, trembling with fear, stammering, "Six... Sixth Young Master, we... we really don’t know what we did wrong, please have mercy on us."
"Jordan, this is the one who mistook the brake for the gas pedal, right?" Hudson asked his companion coldly while half-squinting, staring intently at the driver who was making excuses.
"Yes, Sixth Young Master."
Hearing his companion’s confirmation, Hudson curled his lips coldly, twisted his neck, and slowly walked towards the driver.
When he stopped in front of the person, he suddenly took a Wolf Fang Club from his companion’s hand beside him and, with a raised arm, "bang," smashed it onto the driver’s leg. There was no doubt that both the main bone and cartilage were broken.
"Ah......" Immediately, the driver’s wails pierced through the entire cold storage warehouse.
