Chapter 97: The Target
Chapter 97: The Target
"...So, what I did in that restaurant, you've actually figured it out?"
Seeing Lyon's sudden stern expression, the female police officer couldn't help but blink in disbelief.
"I thought you were fearless, but it seems you really believed you hadn't been exposed?"
"Don't you read the newspapers?"
After saying this, she looked at Lyon's confused expression and couldn't help but sigh. "Actually, you did a decent job of covering your tracks. You kept your face covered the entire time, and after the attack, you immediately went to a crowded shopping mall. If you had just changed clothes in a random restroom, we wouldn't have been able to track you down."
"But your luck is just ridiculously bad. You were just happened to be hit by a falling money box and sent to the hospital. Moreover, a reporter from The Sun even took a photo and published it as a curious news story on the front page of the social section."
"The editor of the Daily News saw the photo and recognized you in less than three seconds. After that, the Secret Investigation Bureau checked the hospital records and naturally identified you."
Oh...
Although being hit by the falling Holy Spirit Pendant was an act of God, Lyon couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, having just criticized someone else for being impulsive, only to make the same mistake himself.
"So, you..."
"So, you've been exposed for a long time! The only reason you weren't arrested is because you're from the Cleanup Bureau!"
"Besides, I may have a short temper, but I'm still a secret police officer. How could I possibly be as stupid as you think?"
Having been embarrassed by Lyon, the female police officer finally had a chance to feel a sense of superiority. She raised her chin slightly and hummed, "Now do you understand? I've been keeping an eye on you for a reason! After discovering that a chaotic member had infiltrated the police department, how could I possibly ignore it? Of course, I had to be vigilant and guard against it!"
Upon hearing this, Lyon fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Your vigilant guarding... Does that include attacking my buttocks while I was shooting?"
"...
Hearing Lyon's words, the female police officer's expression turned grim.
"I couldn't help it... You damn chaotic member! Didn't we agree not to bring this up again?"
"Fine, I won't mention this, but in exchange, you should forget about my situation too!"
After a brief argument, the two of them cleared up their misunderstandings. Their impressions of each other improved significantly, from a crazy person and a chaotic member to a reckless woman and a police officer even more radical than the chaotic members.
Recalling Lyon's "political stance," she couldn't help but feel that he and the Lane Family were not on the same page. Putting her mind at ease, she tucked away the list Lyon had given her and asked, "Now that we've found what we were looking for, what's next? What should we do now?"
"Next..."
Lyon glanced at the darkening sky, then turned to look at the female prisoner on the sofa, who was tied up like a zongzi (dumpling). After a moment's thought, he said, "My situation is already resolved, but since you've helped me a lot, I'll assist you in your investigation."
The investigation she wanted to conduct... Was it about the investigator from six years ago?
Understanding Lyon's intention, the female police officer's expression turned solemn. She stood up and walked to the sofa, looking at the gagged female prisoner with a serious expression.
"You should know that there's no way you can escape. Once you're back at the Secret Investigation Bureau, you'll face 24-hour continuous interrogation until you make a full confession."
"Ugh! Ugh!"
"Don't worry, I'm not here about the chaotic member."
Watching the female prisoner struggle and glare at her, the female police officer took a deep breath. Then, with a sincere expression, she said, "I know you don't trust me, and you'd rather take revenge on the Lane Family yourself than clear your husband's name. But I still hope you'll cooperate with my investigation."
And as for the assassination of the Princess, it's too big of an incident. After returning to the Secret Investigation Bureau, all the interrogations targeting you will only focus on the Chaotic Party itself. Your husband's affairs are mostly unlikely to be investigated, so this is not only my last chance, but also your last chance."
After saying these words, looking at the female prisoner who was no longer struggling, the female police officer tentatively asked, "Are you willing to cooperate with my investigation? If you are, blink your eyes."
Upon hearing this, the female prisoner hesitated for a moment, then struggled to turn her head, glaring at the distant Leon.
"Don't worry, the things I want to ask, I've already inquired about most of it."
Understanding that she was afraid of her sudden interrogation, trying to extract more intelligence about the Chaotic Party, Leon raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Moreover, you might as well use your brain to think. If I were to gather information from you, would there be a difference between you speaking and not speaking?"
"..."
Hearing Leon's retort, the female prisoner couldn't help but show a defeated expression, blinking her eyes with a hint of dejection.
Indeed, their bizarre interrogation method seemed to only require her to stay awake, and even if she remained silent, they could still obtain the answers directly...
..."
"Huff..."
After the handkerchief in her mouth was removed, the female prisoner first glared at Leon, then took a deep breath, looking coldly at the female police officer.
"Regarding my husband's affairs, how do you plan to investigate?"
"Starting with confirming his identity."
After preparing pen and paper, the female police officer frowned slightly, "Among those capable of harming your husband, the previous Defense Minister of the Military Department has already been ordered to be executed by the Princess. The only one left is your husband's superior, and the Ryan Family at the time..."
"There's no need to investigate my husband's superior."
Interrupting the female police officer, the female prisoner first scoffed, then spoke with a hint of satisfaction, "He's from your Secret Investigation Bureau. About four years ago, when he went missing after work, he was already rotting by the time he was found. You just need to investigate the Ryan Family at that time."
Four years ago...
Upon hearing this, the female police officer was startled, quickly asking, "The previous Chief of the Torture Department?"
"Then I'm not clear on that."
The female prisoner shook her head, sneering, "I only know that he didn't even remember my husband. It was only after I repeatedly reminded him that he recalled having such a fool of a subordinate. Isn't it hilarious?"
"..."
"But he's not completely useless."
Glancing at Leon, the female prisoner self-mockingly laughed, "Speaking of which, I should really thank him. If not for his desperate pleas before death, saying he was just a subordinate carrying out orders, and that there was someone else targeting my husband. I didn't even know who to hate in the end."
"..."
So... in the end, was it the Ryan Family who took action?
Crossing out "superior" and writing "Ryan Military Corporation", the female police officer turned to look at Leon beside her.
"The one in charge of the military corporation six years ago was..."
"Bobby Ryan."
Recalling the relevant records, Leon bluntly stated a name, then thoughtfully said, "The second person on my list is him. This person is the younger brother of the current Ryan Family head, almost twenty years younger than his brother..."
"Oh, and his brother has no heir, so if nothing unexpected happens, he should be the one to take over the Ryan Family, becoming the next Duke of Lionheart."
