Chapter 388: Chapter 388 Have you not seen ‘Inspiration’?
When Scarlett Jennings called the police, she said she was with her boyfriend mainly to give a reasonable explanation for their appearance in the old district at this late hour when they took statents later.
However, with Samuel Chalrs around, she didn’t need to find any additional excuses.
Let the lawyer handle all negotiations; the two only needed to sign at the end.
They were witnesses, and the police focused more on questioning the suspects and victims of this incident.
Even after the man was taken away, he kept shouting about seeing ghosts,
“Officer! There really were ghosts! Look at my face, it was those two little papern, hitting , making loud smacking sounds… Officer, those two must be mystical creatures!”
However, no one needed to question him about this; the officer in charge of the interrogation simply sneered,
“Mystical creatures, what mystical creatures? You have no clue, that’s taphysics! Haven’t you heard of Scarlett Jennings, Master Jiang? Haven’t you watched Inspiration?”
He recognized Scarlett Jennings at first glance.
The man was just unlucky to have encountered Master Jiang.
Getting beaten up was inevitable in such a short ti.
The young officer said this and imdiately received a smack from the older officer beside him.
“What nonsense are you spouting?! Don’t you know where you are?!”
This is a police bureau that upholds scientific truth!
If you want to talk about taphysics, go to the Security Bureau.
The young officer, chastised by his ntor, could only close his mouth awkwardly and turned to glare at the man,
“Alright, now explain the events of tonight. Regarding your attempted murder during a robbery, what do you have to say?”
The man, gauging the two officers’ attitudes, was unsure of who this Master Jiang was, and why they seed to find papern beating people perfectly normal?
Could those two be famous personalities?
But before he could figure it out, upon hearing the accusation, the man imdiately started shouting again,
“I’m innocent, they’re making this up! I didn’t rob anyone; I just drank too much tonight and wanted to comfort the woman crying in the alley, who knew those two would hit as soon as they approached, and then claim I was murdering soone. How could I kill anyone?!”
The older officer sneered at his words, “Comfort? And drunk too, do you believe that excuse yourself? We can test whether you were drunk or not; as for the rest, what you say doesn’t matter.”
The older officer was indeed puzzled because judging from the scene, the man at most intended to assault her, so why was Scarlett Jennings so sure he was attempting murder?
Despite his doubts, he didn’t dismiss Scarlett Jennings’ words, not because of her online persona, but because he knew Daniel Wright.
Coincidentally, Daniel Wright had ntioned Scarlett Jennings’ abilities to him.
So, after hearing Scarlett Jennings’ statent earlier, he also had soone pull up the man’s records, knowing he lived nearby, and had already sent soone to search his place.
While questioning here, the officers investigating over there had returned.
As Scarlett Jennings had suspected, although the man hadn’t carried any threatening weapons when committing the cri, his house did have ropes, knives, and other tools. Suspicious bloodstains were found in the corners of his ho.
If the source of the bloodstains is proven, then according to Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs’ observations, the man clearly intended to drag her ho for assault, even followed by murder afterward.
The charge of attempted murder could indeed hold.
Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalrs naturally wouldn’t wait around at the police station for the investigation results. After telling the officers what they knew, the two just stepped out of the station when they saw two luxury cars parked at the entrance.
Luca Jennings and Donovan Jennings got out of the cars, first glanced at Scarlett to ensure she was alright, then both turned to look at Samuel Chalrs simultaneously.
How to describe that look?
It was like having a deathly stare.
Originally thinking it was a date, they waited left and right, but no one showed up, only to find out he had ended up in the police station.
Ha, the first ti taking soone out on a date, not only did he fail to send her ho properly, but he also got involved in a murder case.
This future son-in-law/brother-in-law is quite a character.
Instead of a high-end restaurant club, he brought Scarlett to an old building in the old district at night.
What is Samuel Chalrs trying to do?!
Perhaps it was the obviousness of their stare, Scarlett felt sowhat guilty and decisively stood in front of Samuel to block their gaze.
“Dad, bro… tonight I dragged him to the old district on a whim and didn’t expect to run into so trouble, which delayed us until now.”
Luca Jennings and Donovan Jennings nodded at her explanation, then looked intently at Samuel Chalrs again.
Luca Jennings showed no expression, but internally, he was very pained and annoyed.
His daughter was indeed motivated by love, still trying to take responsibility herself at a ti like this.
Donovan Jennings thought the sa, his gaze at Samuel Chalrs clearly indicating—
If you’re any kind of man, don’t let your girlfriend take the bla for you.
Samuel Chalrs: …
Finally, Scarlett Jennings explained the investigation of the Living Soul to the two, clearing Samuel Chalrs of any wrongdoing.
On the way back, she still took Samuel Chalrs’ car.
Even though he was wronged and ended up encountering a murderer, Samuel Chalrs did not express any opinion.
But the more he remained silent, the more Scarlett felt bad for him.
The original intent of inviting him to dinner tonight was simply to let him have a good al.
The al happened, but there was a lot of hassle, too.
She didn’t even know if he would be able to sleep well tonight.
Caught up in her thoughts, Scarlett suddenly heard Samuel Chalrs speak,
“Araminta Gold, co here.”
Scarlett ca to her senses, turned to look at him, dazed, “Hm?”
The big boss just… called ?
She saw, as Samuel Chalrs opened his hand, the two little papern that had been practicing fighting imdiately parted, and the paperman nad Araminta Gold deftly turned around and jumped into Samuel Chalrs’ palm.
Scarlett was stunned, pointing at the paperman in his palm, “It’s called Araminta Gold?”
Samuel Chalrs glanced sideways and nodded slightly, “Yeah.”
Scarlett was instantly intrigued, raising her paperman to introduce, “Mine is called Liora Gold! What a coincidence.”
What cosmic fate does she and the big boss share?
Even naming them was in such harmony.
Seeing her clear eyes and genuinely surprised look, Samuel Chalrs faintly smiled, simply saying,
“Yeah, quite the coincidence.”
…
This little incident harmonized the atmosphere between them once again.
That harmony continued even as Scarlett returned to her room and released the Living Soul of the old lady she carried with her.
Though trapped within the barrier, it did not stop the old lady from glaring angrily at Scarlett,
“Why do you ddle in our affairs?! That little slut! Doesn’t know how to serve my son properly at ho, cavorting outside behind my back. If not for your interference, she’d be dead tonight!”
Scarlett released her intentionally, wanting to see her reaction to that family, but unexpectedly caught an additional aning in her words.
Pausing with her almond-shaped eyes, Scarlett seed to have thought of sothing,
“You knew your daughter-in-law would die tonight?”
