Chapter 64 Section 13

Richard Cool, graduated from Columbia University in 1942, then joined the U.S. Army and went to Europe to participate in World War II. After the war, he received a doctorate in law from Harvard University in 1948. Nearly half of his career has been in the New York area Attorney General's Office, successively served as Assistant Attorney General for 11 years and Attorney General for 4 years.Not long ago, he quit politics and was immediately invited to join Warshaw Burstein Law Firm. The von Osberg siblings told Dr. Kuhl in detail the series of events surrounding their mother in the family for 13 months, from Sunny's first coma at Christmas in 1979 to Maria's discovery of the black leather box twice , to Sunny's aspirin poisoning in early December, and then to the "permanent coma" this Christmas.The two talked more about the speculations, doubts and worries of the family members.The siblings told the lawyer that someone deliberately put Sunny in a coma, and judging from the current situation, this person can not only escape the crime easily, but also obtain a large amount of property.On their side, if they pursue this matter further, the final result may be that instead of proving their suspicions, they will be involved in a scandal.The princess and the prince asked: "Is it possible to avoid police intervention? Is there a way to find out whether the mother's coma is 'natural' or 'unnatural' without alarming the public?"

Richard Cool said, "Let's try." Culbot divided his troops into three groups. On the one hand, he asked Maria and others to investigate and collect evidence, on the other hand, he arranged for people to follow Clos von Pro, and sent private detective Edwin Langbert and Alexander to return to Clarendon Manor to find the black man. leather case. According to Alexander, after his mother was hospitalized, he also tried to find it, only to find that Cross's closet was locked.As far as Alexander could remember, he had never seen a wardrobe locked at home. At 4:00 p.m. on January 23, Alexander and Edwin set off from New York and drove to Alexander's residence in Providence. They planned to stop there briefly to hire a locksmith because Newport was too small. , no matter what you do, it is impossible not to reveal the wind.

The locksmith was called Marshall Salzman from the "Phone Yellow Pages". When he heard that he was going to break the door and unlock the door in Newport, 30 miles away, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. Said: "Go, but I don't want to take your car." So, Alexander got into Marshall's truck and led the way, and Edwin drove Alexander's "Fiat" to follow behind. The three of them arrived at Clarendon Manor at 8:30 in the evening. Marshall added: "It's better to look for the key first." Edwin found a bunch in the drawer of Close's study, gave Marshall the second one to try, and the wardrobe door opened.

Here, according to the testimony of Edwin and Alexander, two men thanked the locksmith, who took three hundred-dollar bills and went away happily. But Marshall Salzman said they didn't let him go right away. In any case, on that trip, Alexander and Edwin found the black leather box in Cross's closet, and it really contained the "prescription medicines" and "over the counter medicines" that Maria saw (according to the US According to the Drug Administration Law of the People's Republic of China, drugs are divided into two categories according to their sources: prescription drugs, prescription drugs, that is, drugs that must be prescribed by a licensed physician; counter drugs, over the counter, referred to as OTC, that is, drugs that people can buy at pharmacies themselves) .The only difference is that one of the three injection needles has been disassembled and seems to have been used, while the other two are still intact.Also, the box was missing the bottle of insulin.

The next day, Alexander met Sunny's personal physician, Richard Stork, with a large package of medicines said to be found in a black leather case.Dr. Stoke speculated that the tablets were ground into powder so that they could be easily mixed with food and made into a paste, which "could be spread on toast or sandwiches with butter."Dr. Stok instead sent the drug to the "Bioscience Laboratory" on Long Island, and on February 9, the results came in.
