Chapter 441: Chapter 441: [The Terrifying Case of a Mass Sleep-Death at a Family Villa]
Vienna, in a suite of a well-known hotel.
Luo An sat on the sofa in the living room, his face serious as he held a cell phone and asked in a deep voice:
"Reesi, what exactly happened?"
"A terrifying major case."
Far away, in a room within federal territory, Reesi swallowed and began to explain the situation.
One hour ago, Reesi was playing games with two young girls she had just met, when she suddenly received a call from Rekasha O’Dell.
Rekasha O’Dell, the suspect they had encountered in the previous Hollywood shooting incident, had an assassin boyfriend much older than her (Chapters 326 to 336).
At that time, Rekasha O’Dell was not the murderer of the case and had not taken any lives, only committed petty theft, so she was bailed out by her father, 86-year-old Pranay O’Dell, and taken away from the Special Investigation Team.
Luo An had even mocked Pranay O’Dell for being over 80 years old and yet having an 18-year-old daughter, thinking how rich people really knew how to live.
Reesi received a call from Rekasha O’Dell, her face puzzled, not understanding why the other party was looking for her, but as soon as she pressed the answer button, Reesi’s eyes widened in shock.
Since being sent back to Las Vegas, Rekasha had been causing all kinds of havoc without a break.
Her father Pranay O’Dell was already over eighty years old and truly did not have the energy to contend with Rekasha.
After several failed attempts at reasoning, Pranay lost patience and had people lock Rekasha in the basement of the manor. Aside from fulfilling her basic needs for living, all internet, television, and new clothes were completely cut off.
At first, Rekasha cursed profusely and refused to eat, and at one point was hospitalized due to hunger and dehydration.
But afterwards, Rekasha did not change her old ways, still behaved recklessly and caused disturbances, prompting Pranay to respect Rekasha’s choice and lock her back in the basement again.
hours ago, Pranay O’Dell hosted a party at the manor, with numerous attendees and guests like clouds.
The party went smoothly with music and gourmet food throughout, and the guests engaged in discussions on matters and relationships all night, eventually leaving contentedly in their cars.
But there was a small portion of guests who, due to various reasons, stayed overnight at Pranay’s manor with their companions.
"The next day, everyone in that manor was dead."
At this point, Reesi looked extremely pale and shuddered as she said:
"The next morning, when people tried calling those in the manor, no one answered.
Initially, they thought there might be a problem with the manor’s phone lines, so they contacted the local patrol officers to check and repair it.
Because of the castle law, several patrol officers did not directly enter the manor but rang the bell at the manor gate, and no matter what, there was no response.
More than two hours later, under the urging of their superiors and the guests’ families, the officers drove into the manor.
Upon entering the manor’s duplex villa, the patrol officers found every person in every room had left the world in their sleep, regardless of whether they were guests, members of the Audel family, or maids, chefs, and drivers.
Only Rekasha O’Dell, who had been locked in the basement, was unharmed, but she had been locked up all this time and had no idea what had happened."
"..."
After listening to Reesi’s account, Luo An began to carefully recall the situation with the Audel family.
The Audel family was not very populous. 86-year-old Pranay O’Dell’s wife had died when he was young, leaving him with a son.
Unfortunately, this son died young in a car accident, leaving Pranay O’Dell with a daughter-in-law.
Pranay Audel, in his old age, took another wife, who gave birth to a son after their marriage. Many years later, they had a daughter.
That daughter is Rekasha O’Dell.
Compared to the unreliable Rekasha O’Dell, that son was very dependable, not only intelligent but also crafty, running Pranay’s company in perfect order.
Gaining such a capable heir, Pranay Audel was extremely pleased, believing he had little to worry about for his future.
But life is always full of surprises, and the son didn’t have a long life. In just a few years, he died in a plane crash while on board his private jet, perishing instantly alongside the pilot, his secretary, and others.
Pranay Audel aged considerably in an instant because of this incident.
Since the son had health issues and left no descendants despite being married, the 86-year-old Pranay Audel had no choice but to focus on his last child: Rekasha O’Dell.
Feeling that his days were numbered, Pranay tried to forcefully correct Rekasha’s ways, but before he could succeed, he departed from this world along with his daughter-in-law and others.
"So..."
Rubbing his temples, Luo An picked up the phone and asked:
"What does it mean for Rekasha to call you? What does she want to do?"
"She’s seeking help from our Special Investigation Team."
As the sole survivor in the duplex villa and the only remaining descendant of the Audel family, from every perspective, Rekasha O’Dell was suspected of being the mastermind behind this case.
The rivals and schemers from the various Audel family companies and enterprises also began to stir up trouble.
Further complicating matters were the deceased guests’ relatives and friends demanding explanations from Rekasha, with some of them intending to take advantage of the situation to tear into and swallow up the Audel family, leaving Rekasha O’Dell effectively besieged from all sides.
If Rekasha O’Dell really was a useless person who could do nothing, then the situation wouldn’t be so troublesome, and the Audel family would quickly be torn apart and swallowed whole.
But Rekasha O’Dell is not useless; on the contrary, she is very smart and efficient, harsh on herself and even harsher on others.
Her previous reckless behavior was more about expressing dissatisfaction at Pranay controlling her life.
Rekasha O’Dell knew that only with the existence of the Audel family would she have the capital to act recklessly.
Therefore, after clarifying her current situation, Rekasha did not hesitate to step forward and, to the astonishment of everyone, stood firm to stabilize the precarious situation of the Audel family.
By employing various tactics such as alliance building, suppression, and making an example of certain individuals, Rekasha deployed ruthless measures, quickly and temporarily quelling the unrest within the family’s companies and enterprises.
But the top priority was to swiftly uncover the truth of the case, to avenge her father, and provide an explanation to the relatives and friends of the deceased guests, maids, chefs, and drivers.
Not trusting the local law enforcement in Las Vegas, Rekasha was uncertain which of those entangled individuals might interfere.
At this juncture, Rekasha thought of Luo An, who had previously arrested her, along with Luo An’s Special Investigation Team.
The people in the Special Investigation Team are all from out of town, and the team leader, Luo An Greenwood, is highly capable and good-looking. All team members are talented and would undoubtedly be able to reveal the truth of the matter.
Upon hearing this, Luo An frowned. The case involved many deaths and looked complex, and since his vacation wasn’t over, he shook his head and said:
"Regarding this case, it’s still..."
Before he could finish, Reesi immediately interjected from the other end of the phone:
"Rekasha O’Dell is willing to fund the Special Investigation Team with a dedicated case fund of 10 million US Dollars!
For every team member, Rekasha is willing to pay an additional overtime fee of 2 million US Dollars, and 3 million US Dollars for the team leader’s overtime!"
"...Tell Rekasha, she understands the art of solving cases, the Special Investigation Team will uncover the truth of this case."
