At this time, Merlin was at the police station, and he was in a meeting with a handful of the top leaders as well as several executives from the police department.The head of the FBI in New York had come over personally just now, scolded them, and even proposed that the FBI would take over if they could not solve the case within the next twenty-four hours.Merlin was already feeling extremely anxious at this time.If this case was taken away by the FBI, the New York Police Department would not be able to save its reputation at all.Moreover, Merlin was going to retire soon, and he naturally did not want such a big case to end up in failure just as he was about to leave the police department. So, all of his thoughts were currently focused on how to solve the case. However, all of his thoughts and the clues seemed to have come to a dead-end, and he was merely going around in circles repeatedly, yet he could not seem to find the key.At this time, Christian suddenly called. Merlin
Christian had a meticulous mind. Although his style of action was not strong enough, he definitely saw problems on an even deeper scale compared to an average person.He had met Jordan when he was bidding for the Rejuvenating Pill in Aurous Hill.He had also raised the price to a height that even Jordan could not reach at the auction at that time.Moreover, what had impressed Christian the most was that after he had been kicked out of the auction that day, he had heard that Spencer had usurped Jordan’s position as the head of the family, and he had even released a secret bounty to claim Jordan’s life. Christian immediately realized that even if he had been kicked out of the auction, Jordan wouldn’t have been able to win the bid for the Rejuvenating Pill as he had hoped for. At that time, Christian had also felt that Jordan was already ninety-six years old, and he was about to die. His lifespan was very short and so, he would never have the opportunity to turn his life around aga
“Don’t worry!” Merlin agreed without hesitation and blurted out, “I’ll tell you immediately if I discover anything!”After hanging up the phone, Merlin got someone to pull up Jordan’s entry records immediately. Ever since Jordan had entered the country from the VIP building, the number of people entering the country at the same time was scarce. So, Merlin quickly pulled out the entry information of more than twenty people at the same time.Amongst them, apart from Jordan, Kathleen, and Jarvis, there was only one other Oskian who had entered the country at the same time, and her name was Rosalie Schulz.When Merlin saw Rosalie’s name, his pupils suddenly constricted!He had never seen this woman before, but he had heard of her!Some time ago, Rosalie had led a group of people to exterminate the entire Matsumoto family in Japan, and she had even escaped under the heavy guard of the Japanese Self-Defence Force. Merlin had heard of her great name because this had incidentally caused
Christian was very dissatisfied with Ten Thousand Armies.The reason for this was because Ten Thousand Armies had made a move against the Wade family before, and they had even put the word out that they would destroy his brother-in-law, Curtis’ ashes. Christian was different from his brother, Kaeden. In Kaeden’s eyes, he only recognized his sister, Ashley, and his nephew, Charlie.This was mainly because Kaeden was younger. When Ashely had married Curtis, Kaeden was still in college, and he had had very little interaction with Curtis.However, Christian was different. He only had a two-year age gap with Ashley and so, he had had a lot of interactions and contact with Curtis. Deep down in his heart, he still had a certain recognition of Curtis as his brother-in-law. It was precisely because of this that Christian had mentioned this matter to Kaeden when he had heard that Ten Thousand Armies had brought coffins all the way to the Wade family. He had hoped that Kaeden could put som
“I remember.” Christian asked, “What’s wrong? Does this matter have anything to do with her?”Merlin smacked his lips and said seriously, “There is no evidence to show that it is related to her, but I keep feeling like there is a connection to her.”Christian didn’t say anything about how Quinn had delivered the medicine to his father tonight and saved his father’s life, but instead, he asked, “Why do you think that?”Merlin said, “I think that this girl is not that simple!”After saying that, he added, “Look, judging from Homer Fox’s exposure, the charity dinner that was held on the night of his disappearance was clearly set up for Quinn Golding. He definitely planned to kidnap Quinn Golding to satisfy his own perverted desires. However, as a result, Quinn Golding, who had come from afar, did not fall for his trap. Instead, Homer Fox, the mastermind, fell into a trap himself. Even the most powerful man would not be able to defeat a local tyrant, let alone a tyrant like Homer Fox.
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
