Merlin’s words shook Christian. He began to question the rationality of the matter in his mind. After thinking about it, he came to the conclusion that Merlin was right.If this was just a coincidence, then Keith was more than just lucky. In fact, he was very blessed to be saved. Moreover, Quinn arrived at such perfect timing. Had she arrived ten minutes late, Keith would have suffered from cerebral hypoxia and died. By then, no one and nothing could save him.Plus, it was bizarre for her to suddenly fly and visit Los Angeles at the dead of the night.After all, the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States was more than four thousand kilometers, a distance much farther than Oskia’s northernmost Moncolne to the southernmost Hallan Island.It simply made absolutely no sense for Quinn to drop by for a sudden visit across such a long distance at night.Besides, Quinn had come to the United States for a long trip. If she wanted to come to visit, she could’ve arranged it either
Before Christian could reply, Merlin exclaimed excitedly, “Great! I finally found a clue! I’ll have someone check the airport’s information and surveillance to see how Quinn was able to receive news in such a short time!”Christian was startled. Slightly panicked, he urged, “Lammy, why don’t we stop here? Let’s not investigate any further.” Merlin was astonished. “Why? This is the only clue we have right now. I think my judgment must be correct. Keith’s illness was too sudden, so Quinn couldn’t possibly remove traces in time. But if she was given enough time, I bet the mastermind hiding behind would act strategically. We won’t even be able to find this clue!”He then asked, “Don’t you want to know how Quinn received news of Lord Acker’s illness?” Christian said hurriedly, “Lammy, it doesn’t matter. Whatever method she used to get the news, she doesn’t pose any harm to us. She’s not an enemy, but a savior. If she didn’t travel to get here to save Father, Father would’ve died.”Ch
Merlin’s subordinate understood very well the severity of the matter.The United States was a country with clear enforcement powers and restrictions. If the police tracked and investigated a public figure at will without their superior’s permission, it would cause negative public opinion once exposed.However, he was Merlin’s trusted subordinate. Thus, he obeyed Merlin and dared not delay his task. He immediately said, “I’ll look into it now, sir!” Merlin reminded, “Remember to keep it a secret. An unexpected discovery can affect the case’s conclusion!”The subordinate nodded. “Don’t worry, sir. I’ve been working for you for so many years. Don’t you know how I do things?”He then checked the time and said, “It’s already two in the morning. I’ll try to bring back the clues you want before nine the next morning!”Pleased, Merlin nodded in reply and said, “Thanks a lot.”After his subordinate left, a faint excitement grew in Merlin’s heart. He had been very depressed ever since Ho
Were they to receive merely life imprisonment as punishment for their crimes, everyone would be highly displeased.But now, the mysterious kidnapper had taken the initiative to kill the two sc*mbags without mercy. What could be better than this?As a result, people stopped calling the mysterious men mysterious kidnappers. Instead, they began to call them with flattering titles such as Gentleman Cambrioleur and praised them for their heroic acts.To the majority, Homer wouldn’t be punished if the mysterious group did not kidnap him and expose his crimes. Instead, he would only go on to hurting more innocent women.The kidnappers’ actions didn’t only stop his and his partner’s atrocities, but even went as far as sending the two to hell. The merit of their actions was therefore infinite.As the video became popular, the seven words in Oskian also went viral. As you sow, so shall you reap.The Americans who didn’t understand Oskian searched for the meaning of the phrase on the Intern
The subordinate’s report shook him. Merlin quickly asked, “What did you find?!”The subordinate immediately reported, “I discovered Quinn’s itinerary before she went to the airport yesterday. She was at the same place as you!”“What?!” Merlin was the inspector, and he knew what that meant. He jumped in shock and demanded, “When was that?!”The subordinate answered, “She went to the Fox family’s manor yesterday afternoon. After that, she went to a restaurant in Oskiatown. Not long after that, you went to the same restaurant with Mr. Acker!”“F*ck!” Merlin cursed. “That explains it!”Merlin was a little disappointed to hear that. He wanted to investigate Quinn more, hoping it could lead to the hidden mysterious figure protecting her.He also concluded that Quinn must have a strong intelligence network, since she was able to receive the news regarding Keith’s illness in such a short time.After listening to the subordinate’s report, he realized that it was just a coincidence and hi
Merlin gnashed his teeth in anger and called his subordinate again. “Did you find any other surveillance probes? It’s better if you can get footage of the other side.”His subordinate answered, “No, this is the only surveillance video that can capture the restaurant’s entrance.”Merlin cursed, furious. “F*ck! I’ve already suggested to the mayor to allocate funds to set up a surveillance system in New York, but he’s reluctant to approve it. Just look at Oskia. Their surveillance coverage rate in first-tier cities has already exceeded ninety-five percent! Look at New York! It wasn’t until last year that all the subway stations were covered in surveillance!”The subordinate felt helpless. “Sir, even if we have a surveillance system, it’ll be useless. Even if we installed one hundred thousand surveillance cameras, half of it will be smashed by thugs the next day, and the remaining half will probably be demolished by homeless vagrants in exchange for cigarettes and hamburgers…”Merlin s
Merlin sensed that the young man must’ve been harboring some secrets. He could be crazy or strong, but even so, he still needed enough confidence. Merlin wondered why and how that young man gained the confidence to confront Xavion.To Merlin, this young man might be the breakthrough he needed for this case.Now, Merlin had a new worry. He didn’t know how to get in touch with that young man. If he approached the man without any justifiable reasons, the man would doubt his motives.When smart people sensed something was wrong, they would immediately take countermeasures and keep their guard up. If that happened, Merlin wouldn’t be able to find any breakthrough to help him with the case. While he was troubled over this matter, Christian suddenly called. Merlin didn’t hesitate to answer.On the other side, Christian cut to the chase and asked, “Lammy, do you have any new findings?”Christian didn’t sleep much last night as well. He simply couldn’t understand how and where Quinn got
Merlin said, “If Miss Golding did have the medicine to save Lord Acker, why didn’t she give it to you directly? She should know that you were downstairs.”Then, he added, “Also, she didn’t leave right after you left. She waited until I left before making a move. It feels like she’s avoiding you on purpose.”“That’s…” Christian couldn’t answer. Finally, he surmised, “Maybe she was afraid that I wouldn’t believe her if she gave me the medicine right there and then? I might not accept it, too. Even if I did, would I give it to my father?”Merlin sighed. “Perhaps so. Still, something feels a little off. Nothing is logical here.”Christian urged, “Okay, then don’t overthink anymore. I’ve just seen the latest news. The Fox family’s spokesperson announced to the public about a press conference at eight in the morning. It would be broadcast live nationwide. I guess the newly appointed little girl is going to turn the tide.” Merlin laughed. “Turn the tide… I don’t think anyone can fix thi
