Chapter 1047
The entire police department’s most elite and competent officers were called in to
Investigate the matter. However, after a whole day of effort, there was no progress In the
case.
Nell issued an ultimatum, giving them only three days to uncover the mastermind behind
the case.
The young police department chief sat in his office, feeling extremely anxious.
He reviewed the information gathered so far, sighing constantly and drinking coffee. MY
He was worried because they had not found any suspicious individuals who could be considered suspects.
Elliot suspected Paulo, but Paulo’s status was prestigious, and without solid evidence, it would be challenging to investigate him thoroughly.
After all, with his identity as an Ouna nobleman, launching an investigation against him could affect the diplomatic relations between Ardolisia and Ouna.
Yet, if they did not investigate Paulo, he would have a hard time explaining it to Elliot, potentially affecting the diplomatic relations between Ardolisia and Froania.
Lastly, if they could not find anything, he would be in trouble with Neil, and he might not be able to keep his post.
He was caught between a rock and a hard place, feeling overwhelmed as he looked at the frustrating and perplexing pile of data.
He was already on his third cigarette.
Just as he was feeling the most frustrated, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” he impatiently called out.
A police officer in uniform entered the room.
“Chief, there’s a young lady outside who claims she knows about this incident and can help
you.”
“Help me?” he scoffed, tugging at his collar in annoyance. “Who is she?”
“She claims to be Mr. Karl’s girlfriend, Ms. Windsor.”
Oh another important figure?
“Let her in, and alen get me a cup of cappuccino.
Yes, Chief.
Within a few minutes, Anne entered the office under the escort of the police.
The chief invited her to take a seat on the sofa.
She smiled gracefully, radiating warmth without pretense,
“Ms. Windsor, are you here to provide evidence?
Anne nodded. “I know what’s troubling you, Chief, and I have a solution that can address the concerns of all parties involved. It will provide a satisfactory answer to everyone and ensure your position is secured.”
He furrowed his brows, slightly skeptical.
After all, Anne seemed too young and innocent.
Nevertheless, lacking better options, he decided to hear her out.
“Go on, then. What do you have to say?”
Anne flashed a captivating smile, looking innocent and charming.
Yet, behind her serene gaze lurked a heart as cold as ice.
