268: Chapter 275: Sandra’s Interrogation 268: Chapter 275: Sandra’s Interrogation Jas Brown and Helen Wilson were sitting in a big truck, with a driver at the wheel, while the two of them squeezed into the adjacent seat.
The truck was already on the highway by now, speeding smoothly.
At this mont, Helen Wilson could hardly believe that they had managed to transport the goods out so safely and smoothly.
She had expected the other side to have many people and a very strict inspection.
In fact, this was Helen Wilson’s first real encounter with smuggling.
Although smuggling involved extensive connections, when it cos down to it, it’s still a business.
Those engaged in business can’t be as extrely cautious as those trafficking drugs or arms; after all, getting caught for those could lead to execution, while being caught for smuggling would at most result in a few years behind bars.
Moreover, what matters most to smuggling rings is the initial vetting.
Jas Brown and Helen Wilson’s thorough preparation in the early stages had lessened their vigilance, allowing this deal to go through.
But Helen Wilson wasn’t particularly thrilled.
Although they now had so evidence of smuggling, these pieces of evidence couldn’t really do much— at most, they could arrest Uncle Jas Collins, but capturing only him would be akin to startling the snake in the grass, and they would never get an opportunity like this to arrest the others involved.
The driver responsible for transporting the goods was clearly one of the group themselves, so at this mont, Helen Wilson still had to continue the act with Jas Brown, coquettishly discussing what she wanted him to buy for her with the money they earned, and where they would go for fun.
The driver was an experienced hand, likely used to driving through the night.
After several hours, he only stopped to eat a little with Jas Brown and her, then continued driving.
By this point, Helen Wilson was feeling tired, plus it would seem unnatural for her not to sleep, so she dozed off resting on Jas Brown’s lap.
Jas Brown chatted casually with the driver, attempting to pry so information out of him, but the driver was very sly and tight-lipped.
Insisting he was just a driver, he professed ignorance about anything else, and eventually, Jas Brown had to give up.
Asking too much would give himself away, so he decided to shut his eyes and get so sleep as well.
At dawn the next day, the truck finally reached its destination.
Jas Brown arranged to offload the goods into a small warehouse, and then the big truck left.
“Is this place yours?” Helen Wilson asked, looking at Jas Brown with confusion.
Jas Brown laughed: “I don’t have any storage space; this was lent to by a friend.”
“What friend?”
“A friend is just a friend.
You don’t need to worry about it.
Leave the rest to .”
A twitch appeared at the corner of Helen Wilson’s mouth; she didn’t want to deal with the goods herself, but urgently needed the funds to lure the big fish above, so she kept silent.
At this point, Jas Brown wrapped his arms around Helen Wilson from behind, saying with a grin, “Shouldn’t you be fulfilling your promise to now?”
Helen Wilson suddenly jerked Jas Brown’s hand off, turning around and staring at him, asking, “What promise did I make to you?”
Steadily eting Helen Wilson’s gaze, Jas Brown said, “Didn’t you promise to compensate after the job today?”
“Ah!” Helen Wilson gasped, her cheeks flushing, and she retorted: “Nothing dangerous happened today; why should I compensate you?”
“You…” Jas Brown suddenly bulged his eyes, staring frustratedly at Helen Wilson.
With a sly giggle, Helen Wilson added, “When we face danger next ti, I will definitely compensate you.
Alright, the next bit is up to you.
I need to rush back to work.”
After saying that, she pushed open the door and strode out.
By the ti Jas Brown followed her out, he saw Helen Wilson running off full tilt, practically fleeing, which made Jas Brown laugh heartily.
This female cop, she’s really sothing else.
After two days of hassle, by the ti Jas Brown returned to YODC City, it was Monday.
He had not found the ti to discuss things properly with Emma Campbell over the weekend.
Or perhaps, Jas Brown now felt sowhat apprehensive about facing Emma Campbell, deliberately letting the weekend slip by before returning to YODC City.
Helen Wilson had not forgotten to call him these past two days, making sure she was well-inford about the situation and knowing that Jas Brown had managed to offload the goods smoothly, having about Seventy Thousand Dollars in his possession now.
Earning so much from just one job made Helen Wilson’s jaw drop, and she understood that this was the profit Jas Brown made after selling the goods directly to a middleman.
If the goods were sold slowly, the profit would undoubtedly be much larger.
Before returning, Jas Brown had contacted Uncle to tell him he had completely sold off the goods and wished to acquire another batch.
But Jas Collins told Jas Brown that there were no goods available at the mont and that he would contact him when the next shipnt arrived.
This was exactly what Helen Wilson had hoped for.
To crack this case, she needed to know everything about the other side, including their smuggling routes, distribution channels, key personnel, etc.
Such details couldn’t be uncovered from just one or two deals.
She needed several transactions to earn their trust and prove herself as a strong business partner so they would open up access to higher-ups.
Helen Wilson had put aside her police work these days, taking a break to resu her regular duties.
Jas Brown went to Gina Lopez’s house on Monday evening.
Gina and Emily had been on the phone constantly over the past couple of days, showing great concern for him.
It was fine for Gina, but Emily had been waiting for Jas to talk about the matter, and if Jas didn’t show up, she would have co to drag him over herself.
“Brother-in-law, you’re finally here, I missed you so much.” As soon as Jas arrived, Emily rushed over and excitedly grabbed his arm.
Gina had co back with Jas, and with groceries in hand, she passed them to Emily, saying, “Take the groceries to the kitchen.”
Emily didn’t take them, still holding onto Jas’s arm, she said, “Hey, I’m talking to my brother-in-law, can’t you carry them yourself?”
Gina glared at her and said, “I haven’t changed my shoes yet, hurry up.”
Reluctantly, Emily let go of Jas’s arm and took the groceries, but imdiately said with a giggling smile, “Brother-in-law, you have to tell everything properly today, just stay over tonight.”
As Jas changed his shoes, he laughed and said, “I can tell you, but I’d rather not stay over.”
“Giggle, you’ve stayed over with my sister so many tis, one more night won’t hurt.”
Gina’s face instantly blushed, reminding her of the night she spent with Jas.
Before, they could cohabitate without issues, but now she wasn’t sure if Jas could remain as honest as he had been in the past.
At the very least, Gina knew that if she were to be alone with Jas, as long as he didn’t actually do ‘that,’ she didn’t mind other intimate gestures.
In fact, she seed to enjoy the feeling, and these past few nights she went to bed reminiscing about their closeness, feeling quite restless.
Emily sneakily watched Gina’s reaction, seeing her older sister’s shy face, she couldn’t help but chuckle secretly.
Her proud big sister was becoming less and less immune to Jas Brown.
Just a little more effort, and how could there be any difficulty in making good things happen?
Entering the living room, Gina faced Jas and felt inexplicably awkward, saying, “You sit for a while, I’ll go change my clothes,” before running into the bedroom and loudly closing the door.
In the anti, Emily walked out of the kitchen, sat next to Jas, and once again grabbed his arm, urging him, “Brother-in-law, quickly tell what happened these past few days.
My older sis ca back and didn’t talk about the thrilling experience with you, it was so dull.”
Jas knew that Gina was private and wouldn’t disclose that to avoid suspicions; they had to pretend to be intimate, not to ntion that their performance turned out quite passionate.
“Hehe…” Emily winked at Jas and teasingly said, “Tell , brother-in-law, did you manage to win over my sister?”
Jas suddenly appeared perplexed and said, “Nothing happened.”
“Giggle, don’t lie to .
The next day my sister ca back, she was absolutely smitten.
If it wasn’t with you…” Emily gestured her thumbs and winked with an even more ambiguous expression.
Jas laughed awkwardly and said, “It was nothing, your sister and I are innocent.” But deep down he felt rather guilty.
After what had happened, claiming innocence was a bit far-fetched; still, since they had not fully consummated their relationship, he felt the need to clarify sowhat.
Gina hastily changed her clothes and ca out hurriedly, well-aware of how mischievous her little sister could be.
Leaving her alone with Jas might lead to who knows what.
Indeed, just as she got to the door, she heard Jas trying to explain himself, so she quickly ca out, her face stern, saying, “Emily Lopez, what nonsense are you spouting now?”
Emily blinked innocently and said, “I’m not talking nonsense.
I’m just asking how far things have gone between you and brother-in-law.
If there’s no progress yet, then I might take matters into my own hands.
Don’t bla your little sister for not caring about sibling affection.
I can’t let such a good brother-in-law slip away.”
Gina, initially worried that Jas would spill about that day, suddenly changed her mind.
She sat down next to Jas, grabbing his arm, and even purposefully rubbed his arm against her chest.
She lifted her chin proudly at Emily and said, “You want to know, do you?
Well, let tell you, that night, your brother-in-law and I did sleep together.
We did everything we were supposed to do and not supposed to do.”
“Really?” Emily’s eyes widened.
“Of course, it’s true.
There were even caras monitoring us.
We had to make it look real to avoid suspicion.”
Just as Jas was about to object, Gina discreetly pinched the soft flesh inside his arm, as if to say that if he dared to speak out of turn, she would pinch even harder.
“No way, big sis, you are too fierce.
To do such things with brother-in-law under soone else’s watch, oh my God, I can’t even imagine.”
Emily’s exclamation turned Gina’s face beet red.
She wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
