Because he, not Sylvia, wanted access to Helene's money?

And so Frison pulled out his phone and he called Messinio, the very talented detective, you know, the best in the city.

And he told her about, you know, what he saw as issues about having Sylvia and Gildo as suspects.

Messinio completely agreed with Frison.

And then she shared something that she had learned during her own interviews about Wojciech.

She said that one of Helene's friends told her that Sylvia had been with Wojciech so long, 28 years, without getting married because Sylvia wanted to make sure her inheritance went to her or her child or just stayed within her direct family bloodline and didn't go to an outsider, to a husband.

Frison considered what this meant.

It told him that Silvia didn't completely trust Wojciech, but it also tanked his theory that Wojciech might have planned the hit, since he had zero claim to the Pastore estate, whether Helene was alive or not.

But then, Messinio said something else that made Frison stop thinking about the Pastores completely.

She said she had found something out about Helene's driver, Mohamed.

Mohamed was apparently involved in a love triangle, and had been for years.

He was from Egypt and he had a family there, but he also had a mistress here.

And Massinio had gotten the number for Mohamed's adult son who lived with him in France, so they could just ask him about it.

And so as Frison hung up the phone, his mind was spinning.

I mean, this whole time he had thought it was so obvious who the target of the hit was.

It had to be Helene.

She's this billionaire.

It's got to be her.

But now he was wondering if maybe the real target was Mohamed.

That afternoon, Frison was back at the station with Massinio.
