[13:40.14]杰夫走后，克里斯得到了启发。 [13:43.17]Without any input from the inspector on where money had gone, [13:46.66]由于检查员对资金去向没有提供任何信息， [13:50.15]Chris found that several large installments [13:52.63]他发现几笔大的分期付款 [13:55.11]had been misdirected from his company into Jeff' s accounts; [13:57.98]从公司错误地转到了杰夫账上。 [14:00.86]his brother had betrayed him !
