It turned out that my train of thought was correct.
Jason Miller worked in a large parts factory. Jason Miller graduated from a prestigious university, and he majored in mechanical engineering. That's why he was able to reach such a high position in the factory in just a few years of working.
Lily Davis and I got out of the car and walked towards the factory gate.
The security guard stopped us immediately when he saw our two unfamiliar faces.
I was very familiar with this situation. After taking out my police officer's ID to show my identity, the other party didn't dare to stop us and directly let us into the factory.
When we turned around, out of the corner of my eye, I inadvertently saw that the other party actually took out his phone and called someone, I didn't know who.
Indeed, if the police were here and the security guard didn't notify the senior management, if this was found out later, it would be lucky if the old man could keep his job.
Soon, after a while, a bald man came to greet us in a hurry. This man was the human resources manager of this factory, named Edward Thompson.
"Hello, two police officers. I don't know what brings you to our factory?"
"This is not a place to talk. We have some things to ask."
I took out my police officer's ID again to prove my identity. After hearing what I said, the other party quickly took us to the reception area of the factory, which was actually his office.
Sitting on the sofa in the office, Edward Thompson quickly poured water for us. It was summer, and we were indeed a bit thirsty.
After seeing us finish drinking the water, Edward Thompson quickly asked, "I don't know what brings you two police officers to our factory?"
"We want to ask about Jason Miller, the manager of your factory's technical department."
I didn't say that we were here to investigate the cause of Jason Miller's death, and the other party was slightly stunned after hearing what I said. Then he said hesitantly:
"Jason Miller, is he...?"
"It's not easy to say too much about this kind of thing for now, and we can't disclose too much. Just answer our questions."
I saw what the other party was thinking. After all, the other party was a human resources manager, and he could naturally see that I didn't want to disclose too much.
"Okay."
Edward Thompson nodded slightly, and a look of sadness and sorrow appeared on his face. It was obvious that this person not only knew Jason Miller, but also seemed to be very familiar with him. Otherwise, he would never have shown such a painful expression.
"Are you familiar with Jason Miller?"
"Yeah, we were classmates in junior high school and high school, so of course we are familiar."
"Can you tell me if there were any abnormal situations about Jason Miller recently?"
"Abnormal situations? It seems that there really weren't any."
Edward Thompson obviously thought for a while after hearing this, and then shook his head, indicating that he didn't know if there were any abnormal situations about Jason Miller recently.
"I heard from Jason Miller's wife that Jason Miller didn't come home for dinner most of the time at night recently. Do you know what's going on?"
I asked again.
"Of course I know. Alas, not long ago, the company planned to purchase a batch of new equipment to expand the business scope. But there were no repairmen in the factory who could repair this batch of machinery.
Jason Miller was the technical manager of our factory, and he was a top student himself. So the boss planned to let him learn the maintenance knowledge of this machinery.
Coincidentally, Jason Miller said that he planned to have a child with Emily. Now he needed to save money for the future, so he agreed to the boss's request for learning.
But he had to work during the day, so he could only work overtime at night to study. As for dinner, most of the time he just casually ate something to make do with it."
Edward Thompson told me everything he knew, and I had a clear understanding of Jason Miller in my heart.
