The Rebirth Of SOPHIA GREEN - Chapter 212

Suddenly, Elma got angry, “What kind of person did my dad hire? Internationally renowned detective? Are you kidding me? Where’s he when my sister was in danger? Fuck! I’ll complain about him. I’ll expose this fraud on the Internet.”

Sophia stayed, “Internationally renowned detective?”

Elma nodded, “My dad said he was willing to take the case because he knew him well. He did charge a lot. Everything was fine at first. Nothing happened for more than half a year. Finally, my sister was relieved and went to travel. But Victor almost died, twice! Well, where’s that detective? It pisses me off. It is said that the detective is quite famous. His name’s… Terry?”

A name occurred to Sophia. “David Terry?” she said.

Sophia remembered that Benjamin had been with them. And she came to realize that his mission this time was not just to report to Albert, and more importantly, to protect Victor.

Speaking of which, he helped. If he didn’t come to help in time after Victor ran away, Victor might be caught by the man, which was very dangerous.

Sophia explained, “The detective had been there and helped a lot.”

Elma widened her eyes, “Helped a lot? That’s his job. He should be in full charge.”

That sounded… reasonable. Sophia didn’t know what to say.

She also felt that Benjamin, as a detective, was kind of useless. Victor was attacked twice, and if she hadn’t been there at the time, she couldn’t imagine whether Benjamin could protect Victor.

Since there was nothing more to do here, Sophia left with Albert. Whatever the contents of the will were, Sophia didn’t care. She just wanted Victor to be safe.

She had always felt that having great wealth was not necessarily a good thing. If the owner didn’t have the ability to protect the wealth, it could put the owner in danger. For example, Kevin was kidnapped because of money.

That was why she didn’t want to give Kevin more money. She wished him to live an ordinary life, as long as he was safe.

At the door, Sophia got a call from Benjamin. She picked it up, and Benjamin sounded very excited, “Sister, my dad’s here! Do you want to meet him? He’s interested in you. He said you’re smart and brave, well-suited to be a detective.”

Sophia had always admired David and wanted to ask him about the lab fire. “Yeah. It’s my pleasure,” she said.

Benjamin made an appointment with her at the house he rented in Lands City and told her to come anytime in the afternoon. Albert heard about it and wanted to meet David to know his analysis of the lab fire. Even if there were no useful clues, it would be a great gain to talk to such a great person.

In the afternoon, Sophia and Albert went to Benjamin’s house with some fruit. After ringing the doorbell, Benjamin came out and opened the door. “Oh, sister. Come in, please. My dad just talked about you and said you were a genius.” He seemed quite happy.

Sophia smiled, “Oh, thank you.”

She walked into the living room, and David went to her.

He was an old man in his fifties but looked older than he really was. There was a scar on the right side of his face, an old wound still visible. His face was pale, a look of illness.

David was well-known and had always been an international favorite. In recent years, he had solved world-class cases and became the leading criminal investigation expert in the world. Many countries invited him when there was a suspicious case. It had been reported on television that he was received and awarded a medal by the Queen last year.

Sophia had met David in her last life. She helped him analyze Odom’s case. But now, of course, she would pretend to meet him for the first time, “Nice to meet you, Mr. Terry.”

David smiled and said in standard English, “Nice to meet you, Miss Green. Take a seat, please.”

Sophia sat down, and Benjamin came to serve them some coffee.

David said, “Benjamin has talked a lot about you, saying that he found a clever sister. Don’t mind it. He has always wanted to find his sister. When he was a child, he was abducted by human traffickers. Then I helped the police solve the case. But I couldn’t find his family. I had no children then, so I adopted him. He remembered that he had a sister. That’s why he loved to take girls as his sisters.”

Sophia looked at Benjamin and smiled, “It’s all right. I happen to have a lost brother. He’s about Benjamin’s age. I also wish to find him.”

David said, “Wow, what a coincidence! I asked Benjamin to come this time because several people asked me to help solve cases, and I have not been in good health and couldn’t come in person. Well, I’m really interested in the fire case entrusted by Mr. Pearson. I come for it this time.”

Sophia asked, “Where are you going to start? You must have got the relevant information.”

David nodded, “Yeah. But I’d like to ask some of the people who were there at the time of the incident to find out what’s going on. I heard that Andrew convened a group of people to continue the research on new energy. Among them, many were of the original team. I’d like to inquire about them.”

Sophia stayed, “Do you suspect the murder is among them?”

David said, “Everyone is a suspect.”

David directed Benjamin’s investigation into the lab fire. Benjamin was not specialized in a criminal investigation. He studied mathematics. In college, he didn’t study hard but was obsessed with cosplay. As a result, he couldn’t get enough credits and couldn’t graduate.

Benjamin had been with his dad and was familiar with detective knowledge. He had helped David with many cases before. David didn’t have much confidence in him but had to ask him to take his place to come because he was ill.

When it came to cases, Benjamin was very proud. “I helped the police with three cases, and I helped find the killers.. When they heard I’m David’s son, they believed in me.”
