“No need. It’s all sorted out. You’re considered acting in self–defense. Although the defensive
measures were a bit excessive and extreme, you just need to pay them compensation.”
To Maurice’s surprise, early in the morning, both the National Investigation Bureau and Corey’s side
issued statements demanding Sheena’s bail. Once again, he marveled at the powerful figures behind
her.

As anticipated, Sheena did not say much, calmly strolling out of her luxurious single room.
Maurice followed her, suddenly remembering something and hurriedly adding, “Oh, by the the National
Investigation Bureau called and said if you want to interrogate last night’s culprit, Brady Carino, you will
have their full cooperation.”
way,
Sheena stopped in her tracks, surprised. “National Investigation Bureau?”
Maurice nodded. “Yes, indeed. You’re quite influential. The formidable figures from both sides with the
highest authority in the country are backing you. A little lackey like me following you around would
appreciate it if you could put in a good word for me when you have time.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSheena stayed silent, her expression stern. She was certain she did not know anyone from the
National Investigation Bureau, so why were they helping her?
Nonetheless, since she was granted the privilege of interrogating the culprit, she could not let it go to
waste.
“You mentioned the guy who caused trouble last night is named Brady Carino? Where is he detained?
Take me to him.”
“Of course. This way, please.”
Maurice led her, changing direction and heading deeper inside. As they walked down the corridor,
Sheena kept herself occupied.
Casually, she asked Maurice, “Who’s currently the head of the National Investigation Bureau? I haven’t
heard of them. They seem pretty low–key.”
Maurice respectfully replied, “If someone as powerful as you don’t even know him, I can’t possibly have
the information. Anyway, they never showed their face, and there’s no detailed information about their
identity. Moreover, all orders are given through his subordinates. There’s a rumor that it’s because
they’re too ugly, so they usually wear a mask on missions.”
“As for their identity, it’s a mystery. But I reckon such a big shot must be from one of the prominent
families in Svelton!”
Sheena remained silent, pondering his words. As they continued their conversation, they arrived at the
door where Brady was being held.
Maurice directed the officer to unlock it.
As Brady was scheduled for interrogation the next day, he was kept in a small room alone. When the
door swung open, they saw Brady curled up in the damp corner, facing away from the entrance,
seemingly asleep.
“Get up, Brady!”

A police officer approached and gently nudged him a couple of times with the tip of their shoe.
No response.
Sensing something amiss, Sheena was about to enter and check when she heard the police inside
shouting, “Captain Maurice, he’s dead!”
“What? How did he suddenly die? Didn’t we stop the bleeding and administer medication for his injuries
last night?” Maurice muttered while quickly approaching to inspect Brady’s condition on the ground.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“The body is still warm, so he just died. There are no apparent fatal injuries. There’s a suspected
needle puncture on the neck, uncertain if it’s from drug injection. Notify the forensic team and prepare
for an autopsy!”
He gave it a thought and asked, “Did anyone come to see him this morning?”
“No one, except the internal police. No one passed by this area.”
Standing at the doorway, Sheena listened attentively, suddenly realizing something. “Lock down the
entire police station. Don’t let anyone out!“.
Maurice swiftly activated the alarm, sealing off the station.
The blaring sirens were piercing to the ears.
Sheena bit her lip lightly, staring intently at Brady’s lifeless body in the corner. He was killed just after
surviving the previous night, precisely when he knew she would interrogate him today.
Was this a deliberate show of force against her?
Maurice conducted thorough checks on all police, including outsiders, finding no suspicious individuals.
He then examined the surveillance footage. In the video, they witnessed a bizarre and audacious
scene.
