CHAPTER 191"And, oh, this is good news. Let's forget about the mayor, he'll only comment if we succeed or fail. This is information found by Peter." Everyone was now looking at Peter, and Peter lifted his face proudly. Well, he was indeed a competent and passionate junior detective. "Peter, can you share that information with the people in this room?""Sure, Chief."Peter opened the journal on the table, and then looked at his colleagues in turn. "I looked into the murders of Jason and Jill, and it turns out they both had a similar pattern, killed and then dumped in the water. But what really connects the two of them? The answer is their children."Noel asked, "What happened to Jill and Jason's children? Jill's daughter died poisoned, while Jason's children have not been found until now."Peter nodded his head. "That's right. But as it turns out, Princess Jill and one of Jason's sons, have a congenital disease that requires them to be hospitalized in a pediatric hospital. It's a rare

CHAPTER 193"I think it was an accident." Uncle Chuck shrugged his shoulders, then looked at Alicia again. He continued with the words he was supposed to say to calm Alicia down. "You don't have to feel guilty. Who would have guessed that we would see a dead body in the river? It was a cold night, everyone really wouldn't have expected that. And about you being kidnapped, that was also an accident. Ethan was just hit, he's fine. Right, Ethan?"It wasn't a small blow, Ethan wanted to protest. But what he did was Ethan smiled reluctantly. He nodded his head, agreeing with Uncle Chuck's opinion to make Alicia comfortable. "I'm fine, my head is hard as a rock and you can hit it a few times.""That sounds like an exaggeration, Ethan," Alicia said, rolling her eyes lazily. Alicia crossed her arms over her chest, looking at the two men before her in turn. "But I'm serious about this. Last night, when I was kidnapped, he was my ex-boyfriend. His name is Ace, a police fugitive, he escaped from

CHAPTER 195Day turned to night, and Peter carefully observed Hendrick's every move. He follows him silently, blending into the bustle of the city. Tensions rise as Peter struggles to reconcile the coworkers he knows with the potential threat Nicholas has uncovered.One night, Hendrick receives a mysterious phone call. His voice was quiet, his eyes leering nervously. Peter, hidden in the shadows, strained to catch snatches of the conversation. Something was not right.The next day, Peter quietly reported the incident to Nicholas, who listened intently. "We must act carefully," Nicholas warned. "Keep following him, Peter. We're on the verge of something big."As Peter continues his reconnaissance, he discovers a secret meeting between Hendrick and a shadowy figure in a dimly lit hallway. The plot gets more complicated as they exchange secret packages. Peter, hidden in the shadows, takes photos as evidence. He sends it to Nicholas."What exactly are you hiding from the rest of us, Hendr

CHAPTER 197The waiting tone of the call Hendrick was making, finally stopped. Someone on the other call answered the call. In a hoarse voice, a familiar female voice answered Hendrick.[You received the package, didn't you?]Hendrick took a sip of the coffee in his cup, then sighed contentedly. Before finally speaking to the caller on the other side. "It's a nice gift. It must be expensive."[I bought it from a collector, you'll like it. But you know that the gift is just a bonus, right?"]The man with the mustache above his lips grinned, even though someone on the other side wouldn't be able to see Hendrick. Hendrick looked around, at the flower garden he had been tending for over two years now. It was Hendrick's backyard, a favorite place he would always love to be. "So, what exactly do you need?"[You seem to know Alicia well. The dark-haired girl who always sticks with Nicholas].Hendrick gave a long mumble, "I know. What do you want from her?"[I just got information from someon

CHAPTER 199"Ah, I made something too. You can wait here," Mrs. Thompson said, breaking the awkward silence between them.Alicia and Nicholas nodded politely, as Mrs. Thompson got up from the sofa and left them alone.The girl with the scarf around her neck then leaned forward and whispered to Nicholas. "Did you really double check everything, Nick?""Of course. I checked right away, but the people here said that they didn't notice the car. And well, as we know, we don't have the license plate, I had a hard time finding the owner without something detailed." Nicholas said that guiltily. "At least I apologized to Mrs. Thompson, right?"Before Alicia could answer, Mrs. Thompson returned with her son in a wheelchair. The young man looked much healthier now and could already sit up on his own. Mrs. Thompson pushed the wheelchair closer."My son is better, it's a miracle. And, I want you to say hello to him. It’s Erick."After Mrs. Thompson told him, the young man on the wheelchair waved,
