Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2155
“Either way, let’s get you to the office first! I’ll call over the other investigation team members to introduce you to
them. While we’re at it, I’ll take the chance to explain your temporary role in this investigation! ” said Ichiro as he
placed his hand on Gerald’s shoulder.
“Can we talk while eating?” asked Gerald as he patted his belly.
“Of course! You know where my office is, right? Go wait there for me first as I head out to get some food!” replied
Ichiro. Forget eating, even if Gerald had requested to be someplace else, Ichiro would’ve readily rented someplace

Fast forward to half an hour later, everyone from the investigation team had arrived. Naturally, upon seeing Gerald
there, they were all rightfully curious. After all, to all of them, he was a suspect in Adler’s disappearance. While they
had no evidence that he had committed the deed, in the end, Gerald still had a motive to commit the crime. With
that in mind, since Gerald was just sitting there, many of them thought that Gerald had taken the initiative to
surrender himself.
Just as they were deep in thought, Ichiro entered the office with a few bags in hand. As the pleasant scent of
roasted chicken filled the room, Ichiro declared, “I’ve brought over some roasted chicken, so be sure to share
among yourselves. I’ll detail all of you as you eat.”
Following that, he placed a roasted chicken in front of Gerald making sure to hand out the rest to the other team
members as well before sitting on the main seat and drinking a glass of water.
After clearing his throat, Ichiro then said, “Now that everyone’s here… I’ll cut straight to the chase. Gerald and I
have just returned from the colonel’s office, and we’ve gotten the green light to make Gerald a temporary
investigator. With that said, he’ll be helping us investigate the two murders from today onward.”
“…What? Why is he suddenly joining our investigation team?”
Ichiro’s announcement was like an exploding bombshell, and everyone couldn’t help but look at Gerald with
incredulous gazes. After all, how on earth had a suspect suddenly become their colleague?
On the contrary, Gerald looked cool as a cucumber as he ate his roasted chicken, barely even caring about their

“I’m excluding Gerald from our list of suspects. After all, the case is already half a month old and we still have no
evidence against him. Due to that, I say that that’s enough to prove his innocence! Besides, Gerald’s been kind
enough to willingly help us with this investigation! With that said, please put your shock aside and start revealing
any information you’ve obtained! It’s high time we solved these cases!” explained Ichiro.
“Loud and clear!” declared everyone as they nodded, not daring to disobey Ichiro.
Following that, they all placed their written reports on the table, prompting Ichiro who had just sipped on more
water to say, “Alright, take turns explaining what you found in the past two days.”
Hearing that, everyone did as Ichiro ordered. While everyone else was dead serious as they read their reports,
Gerald who had his legs crossed simply continued eating his roasted chicken…
