| recounted what had happened this afternoon to the two of them. Chief Royce was unable to make any sense of
the matter in such a short period of teither. At this moment, he looked at the document in front of him and
covered his forehead, not knowing where to start.
It was understandable. Other cases involved money and lives, so the goal was clear. Alex's was far more

He sought not momentary pleasure but a lifetof revenge.
"I don't understand. He approached Wanda today, so can't we arrest him straight away?"
Tyler was clearly impatient now. Chief Royce shook his head at him.
"His identity is unclear at the moment. We also don't have direct evidence to prove that he's involved in the
case. We can't do anything apart from questioning him.
Besides, given this situation, he might not reveal as much to us as he would to Mrs. Grant if we question him

trying to say behind my back.
| simply thought about how Theo and Chief Royce had not had their dinner yet after rushing here as soon as they
got off the plane.
Now that Chief Royce was having a break, Theo should get his dinner sorted out too.

Watching the sandwich fall off the rack, | felt less nervous than before.
