Chapter 327
Finn placed his hands behind his back with a detaching expression on his face.
“We can forget about the formalities. I’m here to personally make things right.”
Conrad didn’t get angry because he refused to shake his hand. Most of those who became officials had their own
quirks.
Finn glared at the woman tied to the bed who was letting out shameless sounds.
“We’ll continue this somewhere else.” With that, he took out a strip of pills from his pocket and gave it to his
assistant. “Feed the woman.”
“Of course, sir!” The assistant looked at Conrad. He was not as retrained as the director. “Mr. Maxwell, originally the
director had prepared this for you.”
Conrad was stunned before thanking him sincerely. “Thank you.”
“Go now!” Finn said to his assistant in a harsh tone before waving at Conrad. “This is now my area of responsibility. I
have the duty to see things through now that something like this has happened. I will do what I can.”
They then went to the meeting room. Finn sat in the middle while he was joined by Chuck Manning, the assistant
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdirector, on his left and Conrad on his right.
All the other people were seated as well. Other than the officers from the station, they were also joined by the
prosecutors sent by their higher–ups.
Chuck couldn’t help himself from saying, “Director, Mr. Maxwell is still a suspect in an ongoing investigation. How
can you let him out just like that?”
“Are you sure he forced the man to commit suicide?” Finn’s wise eyes narrowed as he looked at Chuck with a dry
smile.
Chuck’s chest tightened as his mind quickly calculated everyone again. He didn’t feel like he missed anything.
“The driver that committed suicide left a suicide note, saying that Mr. Maxwell had…”
“The man is dead and the suicide note cannot speak. Did you find any witnesses?”
“No one was in his ward when he committed suicide.”
“One of his legs had been inflicted with a comminuted fracture. For him to get out of bed, climb to the window,
climb up the window… It’s not something that can be done easily.”
“Director, you can’t overturn the investigation with just one sentence! He still had his other leg, so why
can’t he…”
“Fine.” Finn cut Chuck off again and waved to his assistant who was standing behind him.
The assistant then took a step forward and said sternly, “We’ve investigated the scene. Even if the driver could still
move with one leg, with the bone of his other leg fractured in multiple places, there would be bruises and injuries by
the time he reached the top of the window. But there was no sign of any bleeding from the leg at all.”
Chuck’s brain froze for a moment and he said, “Maybe because his pants were too thick?”
“Ha!” The assistant let out a laugh. “It’s summer right now. Not to mention that he can’t wear pants because of his
injuries. It might cause his wounds to be infected and not enough gauze was used!”
“Is that so?” Chuck looked into Finn’s eyes and his heart skipped a beat as he quickly said, “A lot of things happened
at home lately so my memory isn’t that good. I keep on forgetting things.”
“Assistant Director, forgive me for being so blunt. But with your memory being this bad, you’re no longer suitable to
be in this position!” Finn concluded coldly.
Chuck was so angry that he slammed his hand on the table. “Director, don’t push it. I have always been in Gryphon
since I was an officer. I gave Gryphon my whole life. You can’t remove me just because you want to!”
“I don’t have the right to remove any of you,” Finn said as his eyes landed on a female officer. “I don’t even have
the right to remove your daughter. However, this case has wide implications. The higher–ups believe that you were
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnot putting your heart into this case so they sent me over to head a proper investigation. I won’t spare any
suspicious individuals!”
Finn gave the prosecutors a nod and said, “I leave the rest to you.”
They all nodded and then walked toward Chuck and Priscilla.
“Please cooperate in our investigation.”
Two days later, Hank and Beth looked for Conrad who was accompanying Fia in her ward.
Silas stopped the two of them at the door before informing Conrad and Fia of their request.
Conrad looked at Fia who had her back to the headboard and asked, “You want to see them?”
“They’re here for you. Why are you asking me?”
“If you don’t want to see them, then they can forget about it.”
“We should see them.” She wanted to hear why they were here.
When the two of them came in, Fia looked at them with wide eyes.
Ever since she could remember, Hank and Beth had always worn lavish clothes. However, they looked like they had
aged twenty years. Even their emotional state wasn’t that good.
She felt bad just looking at them. If her mom was still alive, she would be in pain because of her gentle
and kind nature.
