The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

After a short pause, Merlin added, "Bring in all the staff here tonight for investigation. Check if the number of personnel is the same, and let the staff identify if there are any missing people!"

The police officers immediately got to work. After that, Merlin said to Charlie," You're most likely the only witnesses at the scene. You didn't witness the full incident, but you'll be a great help in solving this case. We'll need to trouble you to follow us to the police station to Charlie said, "Miss Golding is a public figure. If she's seen going in and out of the police station at this time, I'm afraid the media here will try to fabricate fake news to gain attention. It'll be inconvenient." Having said that, Charlie suggested, "How about this. We'll go back to the hotel first. You may come to the hotel to meet us for the statement later. We'll give you our full cooperation."

make a statement later."

Merlin nodded and said, "That will do. Once I'm done with the crime scene, I'll visit you at the hotel."

Charlie asked him, "Can we leave now?"

"Yes, you may."

Xavion, who was standing beside them, was very dissatisfied with the way Merlin handled things, and he roared, "My son is still missing! No one can leave before my son is found!"

Charlie furrowed his brow and asked in response, "Why?!"

He did not bother wasting his time on Xavion and immediately turned to Merlin with a serious look as he solemnly said," Chief hammy, I suspect that this is a remediated murder! The Fox family is very suspicious!" Xavion gnashed his teeth and roared," What did you say?!"

Charlie repeated, "I said that I think the Fox family is very suspicious!"

Xavion was annoyed and wanted to refute him. Beside him, Merlin intervened and asked sternly, "Why do you think so?"

Charlie explained earnestly, "This

matter itself is very strange. The Fox

family's young master insisted on inviting Miss Golding to the charity dinner, but he asked her to be a special guest. Most people outside don't even know that Miss Golding i s here." "Besides, they also

deliberately arranged for us to wait ina lounge without a single window. He said something about waiting for the right time to appear then, but isn't this just a charity dinner? Why the need for so much trouble? It feels like there's some conspiracy behind this."

Charlie added, "There's something even weirder. Our phones lost their signal not long after we came in! We still don't have any signal now! I suspect that someone has jammed the signals here!"

Merlin took out his phone to verify Charlie's claim, and indeed, there was no signal at all! His phone signal was out of service!

He frowned immediately and shouted at his subordinate, "Johnson, seal the entire ballroom! Go and check where the jammer i sp

Not long after, a police officer ran over and reported, "Chief, we've just confirmed the surveillance records. All surveillance footage near the lounge has been replaced : n advance. It's looping the footage from the last banquet five days ago." Merlin wrinkled his brows. "This is such a big problem. Did the security department not notice this?!"

The police officer answered, "We consulted the security guards on duty in the monitoring room, and they said that they didn't know there were any important guests tonight. They also thought that the guest`` lounge was free today. Therefore, they did not pay any attention to the guest lounge at all. They didn't notice anything unusual when they saw the footage that was recorded from a few days ago." Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Charlie's tone became cold upon hearing that. See! I knew this was a premeditated case! Someone was trying to hide Miss Golding's existence! Besides, even if the ninjas did get in, they couldn't have gotten the surveillance footage from a few days ago or hacked into the system. This has to be an insider job!"

Xavion asked in surprise, "Merlin, what's going on? Are you suspecting the Fox family now?!"
