Just at this time, the butler quickly ran in and said “Master, Young Master, Inspector Jack Li is here!”
“Jack Li?” Floyd frowned and asked, “What’s favonovel.com doing here?”
The butler explained, “He said there’s something favonovel.com wants to talk to you in person, Master, it’s about the Young Master.”
Floyd nodded and said in a cold voice, “Good! I was looking for him, favonovel.com came by himself, invite favonovel.com in!”
Soon, Jack Li walked into Floyd’s study alone.
When favonovel.com saw Floyd, Jack Li greeted favonovel.com with a leathery smile, “Mr. Joules.”
Floyd nodded expressionlessly and asked him, “Inspector Li, it has been more than 24 hours since my grandson got kidnapped, may I ask if your police have any clues?”
“Not yet.” Jack Li said very frankly “I believe Mr. Joules should also be sending people to investigate this matter, you should know that the other party’s clues are handled very cleanly, as if they have evaporated, even if we bring in the FBI and NSA, I’m afraid it would be difficult to find clues within 24 hours.”
Floyd questioned with some anger “You are a Chinese police detective, you can not find the person lost, and still have the face to come to my home to see me?”
Jack Li smiled and was not angry at Floyd’s attitude, but said, “Mr. Joules, I came here to consult with you about something, I think that in this situation, we both can exchange what we have and what we don’t. Maybe there is some kind of cross-clue in this case, if there is, then this may be the key to solving the case.”
On the side, Roger questioned, “What is a cross clue?”
Jack Li explained, “It is two seemingly unrelated clues, but after careful combing, you may find that they exist at a certain point of intersection, once you find this intersection, you are likely to find more clues.”
Jack then added “This is like I found a safe hidden in the dark by Patrick but do not know the password of the safe, how can I crack it and you, although don’t know the existence of this safe, nor do you know the password of the safe, but you know who Patrick’s favorite woman is. Let’s take these two clues and put them together. Maybe we can use that woman’s birthday to open this safe. In other words, it means that we all have to exchange clues so that we can have the possibility to go further otherwise, I may not be able to open this safe for the rest of my life. And you may not know about the existence of this safe for the rest of your lives, this is what I mean by cross clues.”
Floyd subconsciously nodded and opened his mouth to ask “Since you said that, you should have found some kind of clue similar to a safe, right? Might as well tell us first.”
After a slight hesitation, Jack Li said dryly, “Okay! In that case, then I will speak first!”
Then, favonovel.com looked at Floyd and Roger and said very seriously, “I think that the kidnappers kidnapped Patrick, most likely not for money.”
“Not for money?!” Floyd frowned and asked, “Not for money, but for what?”
Jack Li said seriously, “It should be for the purpose of unleashing a fatal blow to the Joules family!”
“A fatal blow?” Floyd was even more puzzled and asked him, “If someone really launched a fatal blow to the Joules family, then how could favonovel.com do that if favonovel.com just kidnapped Patrick? Even if I give them the 200 billion us dollars ransom they want, the Joules family will only be slightly wounded, far from a fatal blow.”
Jack Li shook his head, looked at Floyd, and said word for word, “I guess the kidnappers should have gotten hold of some kind of colossal scandal of the Joules family!”
