CHAPTER 273

Glen looked up, he hadn't finished his fries yet. "Are you leaving now, Uncle? Are you going to see my mom?"

Nicholas mumbled for a while, before finally nodding his head. "I'm going to take care of some work and meet with your mother. Is there anything you want to say to her?"

Glen's face grew more enthusiastic as he finished the fries in his mouth and looked thoughtful. He looked around before finally seeing Nicholas again. Raising his index finger in the air, Glen said, "I want you to tell my mom that I miss her a lot. I want some chocolate candy from Uncle Chuck's shop! They have the best chocolate in town and I want to try it."

Now, it was Nicholas' turn to raise his eyebrows enthusiastically. "Do you know Uncle Chuck's?"

"My friends in class talk about it, but I don't know. I just heard about it and wanted to try the chocolate candies they have."

Nicholas nodded his head. He smiled widely and rubbed the top of Glen's head in relief. At least, the boy still had some enthusiasm in him. "I'll tell that to your mother."

"Thank you, Uncle Detective."

"You're welcome, Glen."

After ending the conversation with Glen, Nicholas said goodbye to Lim Sara and left Glen with her as long as Selena had not left the police station. Nicholas went straight to his car to head to the police station. His curiosity about Ace had peaked, and he had to succeed in getting information about Ace's whereabouts from Selena today.

After arriving at the police station, Noel immediately greeted Nicholas. Noel walked into Nicholas' room and sat down opposite him casually.

"Has Selena had breakfast yet?"

"Of course. The duty officer treated her well," Noel said. Noel then lifted his chin while turning his chair, he pointed at Hendrick who seemed to be busy with the computer in front of him. "Hendrick also did nothing but sit at the desk and stare at his computer screen."

Nicholas also looked in the direction Noel was pointing. He furrowed his brow. "He's probably confused because he couldn't participate in interrogating Selena, so he can't get any information to give to his boss."

Noel swiveled his chair again, he rubbed his palms in front of Nicholas before pointing at the man and saying, "Or... Hendrick already knows that he's under suspicion from you? You're very conspicuous, he must have noticed your change in attitude."

Nicholas chuckled. "Is it my fault now?"

A low chuckle sounded from Noel. He crossed his arms over his chest, then shrugged. "I don't know how long you'll keep Hendrick. We already have two very important pieces of evidence. We even caught Hendrick meeting with someone to leak the information we have. But you should look at yourself, you keep him on the team. What is your goal, Nicholas?"

"The person we saw in the warehouse must have been a hired gun. That's not the real boss."

"Where do you know that? Stop assuming if you don't know anything, Nick."

Nicholas pointed at Noel, then flicked a finger at him. "Hey, hey, I'm the leader now. Watch your language!"

Instead of being scared, Noel laughed after hearing Nicholas' words. Noel moved his face forward and raised both eyebrows in front of Nicholas. "You were able to become the leader because you solved many cases with me. You don't intend to forget my merits, do you?"

Nicholas adjusted his sitting position. "By the way, have you prepared any questions for Selena? We have to get information about Ace today, we can't keep Selena any longer, unless she's involved in the murder. Whereas from all Selena's stories, she only saw the incident without doing anything."

Noel didn't answer right away. There was a pause there. For a few moments, Noel used that time to think. She then said, "But on second thought, didn't Selena take Amanda's things? She stole, robbed, took someone else's property. Selena could be charged for that and she should be punished."

"Ah, forget about stealing. We need to know what Ace's motive was for committing that crime against Amanda, and whether Selena knew Ace's future plans. We're running out of time and we need to catch Ace soon."

"Alright, alright. I'll do as you say."

Nicholas got up from his desk. He picked up a folder. The written report that Peter had made yesterday. Nicholas then gave the report to Noel while throwing it on the table. "You have to check that report. Find as many holes as you can. We need to know what Ace is up to and where he's taking all these crimes."

Noel accepted the folder and stood up from the chair. He took out a few sheets of paper stored inside, then said, "These are very long notes."

Nicholas and Noel headed to the interrogation room, while Selena was brought into the room by the duty police. Selena was again seated in the witness chair, while Nicholas was in another room. It was Noel who now sat opposite Selena. They would be cross-examined to check if Selena gave different testimonies to different people. And whether Selena's words would be volatile if Noel was interrogating her.

Noel smiled, she pretended to be friendly. Just like what she did to other prisoners and witnesses, "Hi, Selena. Did you sleep well last night?"

But Selena changed the subject. She looked up, then replied to Noel desperately. "Can I see Glen today? I have to pick him up. I never leave him overnight at daycare, Glen must be worried."

"You don't have to worry. Nick has taken care of him, he'll be fine."

Selena was silent for a while, she seemed to have lost the idea of escaping from her current position.

"Can we start the interrogation today?"

"You're going to interrogate me again?" Selena clutched her chest. "I already answered all the questions yesterday. Why are you making me like this?!"

    CHAPTER 275 Nicholas drove the car as fast as he could. He cut through the streets knowing that Alicia was in danger and needed to be rescued immediately. At this moment, Nicholas deliberately did not turn on the siren in his car to avoid things that threatened Alicia. Arriving at Alicia's house, Nicholas could see a suspicious car near Rick and his mother's house. Nicholas' eyebrows furrowed and he slowed down the car. While looking around, Nicholas tried to think of a plan. Until finally, Nicholas stopped his car right behind the suspicious car. Nicholas got out of the car, but his gaze remained wary. He took out his gun and pointed it downwards as he walked into Alicia's yard. He realized that Alicia's door was unlocked even though the lights were off. Just as Nicholas entered Alicia's house, a punch landed from behind. But Nicholas was strong enough to withstand it, so the man immediately turned around and pointed the gun at Ace. But Ace was also ready to shoot Nicholas in the

    CHAPTER 274Nicholas observed the change in Selena's expression from a different room. She stood up and hugged herself while frowning."She keeps bringing up Glen. It's starting to worry me," Nicholas muttered.While on the other side, Noel began to open the folder given by Nicholas. There were several sheets of paper inside. They were reports done by Peter and that surprised Noel. He peered into the folder."I didn't know Nicholas would give me this much work." Noel's complaint was heard by Nicholas in a different room, but Nicholas ignored it and chose to focus on Selena. Noel looked at Selena then smiled and put the papers on the table. "I don't want to read all the writing on this paper. So, what can you give me to get me to get you out of prison?""I... I didn't kill anyone."Noel waved her hands in the air, she seemed to look down on the opponent. "That's a very standard thing. Do you have any evidence? Everyone in that base camp is dead, none of them can give you testimony. So

    CHAPTER 272Nicholas dropped Alicia off in front of Alpha Company's office, while he continued on his way to the daycare. He got out of his car, with a bag of fries from Mcd. Nicholas walked in and was met by Lim Sara.Lim Sara, who was working, greeted Nicholas politely. "Good morning, Detective. Have you come to pick up Glen?"A small mumble was heard from Nicholas. He finally explained the situation to Sara. "Um, well, the police still have to check a few things from Mrs. Selena. It may take some time, can Glen stay here a little longer?"Lim Sara looked worried. The woman with her beautiful hair coils mumbled, before nodding and replying, "Of course, Detective. But it seems like Glen is worried about his mother, he's asked about her several times and I can only say that she's at work." Sara turned around, then showed Glen who was sitting alone in the corner of the study room. "Because he stays here alone, without the other children, he thinks that his mother is angry.""Has Glen e

    CHAPTER 271Alicia leaned on Nicholas' shoulder, she let the blanket cover their bodies on the sofa. After a night of sleeping together, Alicia woke up first. She took a deep breath and woke Nicholas up."Nick?"While shaking Nicholas' hand, Alicia tried to get her lover to wake up. And after a while, Nicholas did wake up."Um, good morning, Alicia." Nicholas adjusted his sitting position, he then blinked his eyes and began to speak. "How did you sleep last night?"Alicia mumbled. Letting go of the blanket covering her body, she hugged herself. "I got a good sleep because of you. But can't you just relax like this? You said you were going to check on Selena again today?""Yes, there will be a cross-examination. Noel will try to provoke her with psychological techniques," Nicholas said. He looked ahead, then moistened his dry lips. "I wonder to what extent Selena knows information about Ace. If Selena can tell the police about the steps Ace is taking, it would be great for all of us."

    CHAPTER 270Nicholas put on an apron, before grabbing a cutting board and knife. He took out the onions, garlic and chili peppers. Skillfully, Nicholas began to chop the ingredients into small pieces, and then he heated the oil in the wok. He prepared to put in all the ingredients, and after the smell of onions was there, Nicholas put in the minced meat that he took from the refrigerator. His big hands started moving here and there quickly. He was like a professional chef. Sautéing, putting in spices and making everything better.Besides cooking the meat, Nicholas also prepared two loaves of bread on a plate. He placed the meat onto the bread, then garnished it with lettuce, tomato and some sauce on top.Nicholas patted his palms when he was done.

It was raining outside, and Alicia was still covering herself with a blanket on the sofa.It looked like Alicia was completel
