CHAPTER 273
Glen looked up, he hadn't finished his fries yet. "Are you leaving now, Uncle? Are you going to see my mom?"
Nicholas mumbled for a while, before finally nodding his head. "I'm going to take care of some work and meet with your mother. Is there anything you want to say to her?"
Glen's face grew more enthusiastic as he finished the fries in his mouth and looked thoughtful. He looked around before finally seeing Nicholas again. Raising his index finger in the air, Glen said, "I want you to tell my mom that I miss her a lot. I want some chocolate candy from Uncle Chuck's shop! They have the best chocolate in town and I want to try it."
Now, it was Nicholas' turn to raise his eyebrows enthusiastically. "Do you know Uncle Chuck's?"
"My friends in class talk about it, but I don't know. I just heard about it and wanted to try the chocolate candies they have."
Nicholas nodded his head. He smiled widely and rubbed the top of Glen's head in relief. At least, the boy still had some enthusiasm in him. "I'll tell that to your mother."
"Thank you, Uncle Detective."
"You're welcome, Glen."
After ending the conversation with Glen, Nicholas said goodbye to Lim Sara and left Glen with her as long as Selena had not left the police station. Nicholas went straight to his car to head to the police station. His curiosity about Ace had peaked, and he had to succeed in getting information about Ace's whereabouts from Selena today.
After arriving at the police station, Noel immediately greeted Nicholas. Noel walked into Nicholas' room and sat down opposite him casually.
"Has Selena had breakfast yet?"
"Of course. The duty officer treated her well," Noel said. Noel then lifted his chin while turning his chair, he pointed at Hendrick who seemed to be busy with the computer in front of him. "Hendrick also did nothing but sit at the desk and stare at his computer screen."
Nicholas also looked in the direction Noel was pointing. He furrowed his brow. "He's probably confused because he couldn't participate in interrogating Selena, so he can't get any information to give to his boss."
Noel swiveled his chair again, he rubbed his palms in front of Nicholas before pointing at the man and saying, "Or... Hendrick already knows that he's under suspicion from you? You're very conspicuous, he must have noticed your change in attitude."
Nicholas chuckled. "Is it my fault now?"
A low chuckle sounded from Noel. He crossed his arms over his chest, then shrugged. "I don't know how long you'll keep Hendrick. We already have two very important pieces of evidence. We even caught Hendrick meeting with someone to leak the information we have. But you should look at yourself, you keep him on the team. What is your goal, Nicholas?"
"The person we saw in the warehouse must have been a hired gun. That's not the real boss."
"Where do you know that? Stop assuming if you don't know anything, Nick."
Nicholas pointed at Noel, then flicked a finger at him. "Hey, hey, I'm the leader now. Watch your language!"
Instead of being scared, Noel laughed after hearing Nicholas' words. Noel moved his face forward and raised both eyebrows in front of Nicholas. "You were able to become the leader because you solved many cases with me. You don't intend to forget my merits, do you?"
Nicholas adjusted his sitting position. "By the way, have you prepared any questions for Selena? We have to get information about Ace today, we can't keep Selena any longer, unless she's involved in the murder. Whereas from all Selena's stories, she only saw the incident without doing anything."
Noel didn't answer right away. There was a pause there. For a few moments, Noel used that time to think. She then said, "But on second thought, didn't Selena take Amanda's things? She stole, robbed, took someone else's property. Selena could be charged for that and she should be punished."
"Ah, forget about stealing. We need to know what Ace's motive was for committing that crime against Amanda, and whether Selena knew Ace's future plans. We're running out of time and we need to catch Ace soon."
"Alright, alright. I'll do as you say."
Nicholas got up from his desk. He picked up a folder. The written report that Peter had made yesterday. Nicholas then gave the report to Noel while throwing it on the table. "You have to check that report. Find as many holes as you can. We need to know what Ace is up to and where he's taking all these crimes."
Noel accepted the folder and stood up from the chair. He took out a few sheets of paper stored inside, then said, "These are very long notes."
Nicholas and Noel headed to the interrogation room, while Selena was brought into the room by the duty police. Selena was again seated in the witness chair, while Nicholas was in another room. It was Noel who now sat opposite Selena. They would be cross-examined to check if Selena gave different testimonies to different people. And whether Selena's words would be volatile if Noel was interrogating her.
Noel smiled, she pretended to be friendly. Just like what she did to other prisoners and witnesses, "Hi, Selena. Did you sleep well last night?"
But Selena changed the subject. She looked up, then replied to Noel desperately. "Can I see Glen today? I have to pick him up. I never leave him overnight at daycare, Glen must be worried."
"You don't have to worry. Nick has taken care of him, he'll be fine."
Selena was silent for a while, she seemed to have lost the idea of escaping from her current position.
"Can we start the interrogation today?"
"You're going to interrogate me again?" Selena clutched her chest. "I already answered all the questions yesterday. Why are you making me like this?!"
CHAPTER 274Nicholas observed the change in Selena's expression from a different room. She stood up and hugged herself while frowning."She keeps bringing up Glen. It's starting to worry me," Nicholas muttered.While on the other side, Noel began to open the folder given by Nicholas. There were several sheets of paper inside. They were reports done by Peter and that surprised Noel. He peered into the folder."I didn't know Nicholas would give me this much work." Noel's complaint was heard by Nicholas in a different room, but Nicholas ignored it and chose to focus on Selena. Noel looked at Selena then smiled and put the papers on the table. "I don't want to read all the writing on this paper. So, what can you give me to get me to get you out of prison?""I... I didn't kill anyone."Noel waved her hands in the air, she seemed to look down on the opponent. "That's a very standard thing. Do you have any evidence? Everyone in that base camp is dead, none of them can give you testimony. So
CHAPTER 275 Nicholas drove the car as fast as he could. He cut through the streets knowing that Alicia was in danger and needed to be rescued immediately. At this moment, Nicholas deliberately did not turn on the siren in his car to avoid things that threatened Alicia. Arriving at Alicia's house, Nicholas could see a suspicious car near Rick and his mother's house. Nicholas' eyebrows furrowed and he slowed down the car. While looking around, Nicholas tried to think of a plan. Until finally, Nicholas stopped his car right behind the suspicious car. Nicholas got out of the car, but his gaze remained wary. He took out his gun and pointed it downwards as he walked into Alicia's yard. He realized that Alicia's door was unlocked even though the lights were off. Just as Nicholas entered Alicia's house, a punch landed from behind. But Nicholas was strong enough to withstand it, so the man immediately turned around and pointed the gun at Ace. But Ace was also ready to shoot Nicholas in the
CHAPTER 1Golden High School. 10:00 am.A young girl was standing under an oak tree when she dropped the last of her cigarette butts. The girl was Alicia, Alicia Perth. Alicia's sea-like blue eyes looked down at her feet, which were wrapped in black ankle boots. The boots had stepped on the remains of a cigarette, causing it to crumble and mingle with the asphalt on the street.Alicia's hand held an invitation envelope with a rose gold logo on the front, while her other hand, wrapped in a colorful suede bracelet, squeezed her ashes backpack on her shoulder. The few people around her were now watching. Alicia caught the eye because of her beautiful face. Alicia had a uniquely American face, her eyeballs were large and beautiful, and her nose was sharp as if carved by a professional artist. So Alicia's appearance that day, successfully made a lot of boys around pull out their smiles.That tall girl ignored people's eyes, she honestly didn't care what others thought of her. Even if it wa
CHAPTER 2"What... did you say?"Alicia and Brittany stared at each other. Alicia was quite surprised by the question asked by the stranger in front of her. She was suddenly speechless, her tongue frozen, not knowing what to say in response to Brittany. But Brittany frowned.Instead, Brittany hissed softly, signaling that girl next to her to keep quiet. She placed her finger in front of her lips. That girl with blonde hair also looked around, as if she didn't want her words to be heard by anyone else. "Do you have a weapon over there?"Alicia bent her forehead deeply and shook her head. Confused. "I don't-"But Brittany interrupted. "Have you ever killed anyone?"Alicia frowned again and shook her head quickly. She had no idea what Brittany was talking about and it brought out the puzzled expression on Alicia's smooth face. Now that Alicia had a serious expression, she felt very strange about her new friend.Brittany laughed amusedly and nudged Alicia's arm gently, "Come on, I'm just
CHAPTER 3Golden High School.A male corpse was found with his body on his back, eyes widened, tongue sticking out and stomach area full of blackish-red fluid. The condition was so bad that some students who couldn't stand it immediately moved away and left the scene. The elites at Golden High School were already trying to block the horrible scene, they set up a blockade.Mr. Wilson arrived at the scene and held his breath in shock. He looked around and tried to shoo away the students, although that old man's words were just taken for granted by them. They were very curious, it was the first time they had found a dead body in school. This was an interesting crime to follow."What are you guys doing here? You guys should leave, stop filming!" The elites were asked to bring the kids back, but there were too many of them for Mr. Wilson to do anything else there.Shortly after, NYPD (New York Police Department) chief Paul Scoots, arrived with two other policemen and a young detective name
CHAPTER 4Alicia does have strong intuitive abilities. Although she refused to connect with the death that had just happened, her intuition told her otherwise. Something inside Alicia's head forced her to come, so Alicia finally got up from the chair in the main hall and went to the dormitory hallway.Everyone seemed to be filling the hallway. From a distance, Alicia could find some students who were sick to their stomachs, or whispering about the incident. Although she wasn't really interested, Alicia ended up standing among the crowd of people who were watching the process of moving the victim with enthusiasm. They looked curious, worried and scared at the same time.It was a rare scene. However, it wasn't the first time for Alicia.A man with a black mustache approached Nicholas. Nicholas was still gently patting Brittany's back in the corner of the hallway. "Brittany, isn't that the James I know?""Yes, Dad. He's my boyfriend," Brittany said through tears.Paul Scoots lifted his c
CHAPTER 5Hall room. 1:00 pm.After a long autopsy process, the NYPD and hospital forensic experts finally informed detective Nicholas of James Portman's autopsy results. A forensic doctor named Anna gave Nicholas a few written reports and he studied them quite well."The victim was pronounced dead as a result of his blocked cystic artery," Nicholas said after reading the report in hand.Nicholas' eyes looked around, the hospital was as busy as any other day. But Nicholas knew that after that day, his day would be more busy. James' death was no ordinary death. It was murder, and the worst part was that James' death could have been a case of serial murder.Nicholas kept all the reports well, then reported them to Paul Scoots as his responsibility. Nicholas had a good hold on the case. And after confirming everything, Nicholas managed to become the leader of the investigation of this case.After getting full permission from Golden High School to conduct the investigation, Nicholas was a
Ace scowled and rolled his eyes lazily. "She already has a boyfriend, but still flirts with me. What else would you call her if not a slut?"He said that very casually, making Jake angry as he heard it there. His face was flushed with anger, while his firm hands tugged at both sides of Ace's denim jacket collar until the hazel-haired man looked right at him. They were now locked in a bitter stare-down. Neither of them looked like they were going to let up. They were both strong and principled."Hey, hey, what are you guys doing?" Nicholas stood up from his chair, spreading his hands between the two men in front of him. One hand held Jake, and the other held Ace. But both of them were determined. They were stubborn."You'll die if you insult Elena again!" threatened Jake. He pointed angrily at Ace's face."I'm waiting for you to kill me," Ace replied in a sarcastic tone.Seeing that the two men were not getting along, Nicholas pushed Jake a little harder. Nicholas tried to get them to
