The inspector leading the arrest didn’t expect Harvey to still be this calm despite these circumstances.He frowned slightly, then waved his hand.“Make way, let the others go!”Harvey gave Tyson a look. The car entered the garage soon after.Harvey smiled. Without doing anything reckless, he got into one of the police cars casually.Vrooooom!Soon, the cars that were escorting Harvey left.As for the Fragrant Hill, quite a few inspectors stayed to maintain order while they gathered evidence.…Three o’clock in the afternoon.Mordu Police Station’s first branch.Rachel and Aiden went inside along with several others after parking their cars. Yvonne, who was accompanied by others, was also seen walking out of the hall.Kelly, Hazel, June, and everyone else who attended the evening banquet the night before came as well.Rachel and Aiden froze after seeing the huge crowd.Rachel walked toward Yvonne and whispered, “Ms. Xavier, why did Sir York get arrested?”Naturally, Rach
Kelly frowned, then shook his head slowly.“Impossible!”“That kid likes talking big, but he has a good heart.”“There’s no way that he would force Ms. Fujihara to do anything.”Yvonne let out a sigh.“I can testify to that. Ms. Miwa came to Harvey’s room last night. She said that her shower head broke, so she wanted to shower in Harvey’s room.”“I’ve already informed the police. They’ll give Harvey a fair judgment.”“The shower head broke? You dare make up such a stupid excuse?”June shot Yvonne a mocking look. “Ms. Xavier. You may have an extraordinary identity and an immensely high status, but you have no experience in life at all!”“The villa was just bought recently! Even the furniture hasn’t been used yet. Yet you tell me that the shower head broke on the first day? Is there really such a coincidence?”“Forget myself; the police wouldn’t even believe you!”“Do you think they’re idiots or something?”Yvonne frowned at June’s words.Before, Yvonne went around to get
“A trade?”Yvonne froze, stunned. Though she knew Hector harbored evil intentions, she wasn’t able to stop herself out of care for Harvey.Hector casually lit up a thin and long cigarette, and then took a huff.“At the end of the day, Ms. Miwa’s an Islander.”“Her death may or may not be important, depending on how the Islanders want it to be.”“You know that I have a bit of connection with the Islanders. With just a single word, I can make them stop pursuing Miwa’s death any further. With that, you’ll have a chance to nullify the situation.”“Besides, I know a few people in the Mordu Police Station. If you give me half an hour, I’ll be able to make a new testimony for every single witness.”“I can even make some of the solid evidence disappear into thin air.”“The media’s gossip will disappear within half an hour as well.”“In a short amount of time, our mighty Sir York will walk out unscathed, completely capable of living out the rest of his life in luxury.”“What do you th
The air inside the first branch Mordu Police Station turned cold, while the main hall had fallen into utter chaos.Inside the interrogation room, Harvey was pretending to sleep on the chair, his arms crossed.He had been locked there for an entire day. After he was kicked inside and given food and water at specific times, nobody talked to him.Harvey guessed that the police were heavily focused on the testimonies and evidence against him. Some were even trying to find traces of Harvey giving the order to blacklist Miwa.Despite him being the so-called culprit, no one bothered to interrogate him.It was unknown whether this was a psychological tactic, or if the police were actually trying to piece the evidence together…Even after twenty-four hours had passed, no one came to see Harvey.Harvey did not mind. He had seen a lot of things in life.After a good rest, Harvey started to deduct the specifics of the incident.He suspected that Miwa’s death was already planned a few days
Hector was quite the character, indeed.At least, in Harvey’s eyes, Hector had the right to challenge him.Creeeeak!Right as Harvey was trying to figure everything out, the door was suddenly pushed open. Three inspectors in formal uniforms walked, brimming full of energy.The inspector leading the group was the same one who had arrested Harvey. He stared at Harvey with narrowed eyes and demanded icily, “Harvey York, are you ready to confess?”“Doing things without a bottom line at such a young age…people like you are scum of the earth!”“Right, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kristan Duncan. I’m the cousin of Garry, the mixed martial arts champion! I’m the squad leader of Mordu Police Station’s first branch!”“My cousin asked me to take good care of you when he visited me.”“But I don’t think there’s a need to be courteous to people like you!”“My cousin hates you to the core, yet for Ms. Xavier’s sake, he had to ask me to keep you safe with all my might!”“You’re s
“What? Aren’t you going to shoot?”Harvey swung his feet around and crossed his legs, his face still blank and expressionless. The inspector was both scared and enraged at the same time. In the end, he decided to sit down.The other inspector, who had short hair, lit up a cigarette and took a huff. He blew the smoke against Harvey’s face.“Harvey, right?” he asked coldly.“We already know what happened.”“You were threatening the victim at the Malone family’s evening banquet, saying that you’ll blacklist her!”“At least twenty people from the scene testified that you said those words. There is no way for you to deny that fact.”Harvey shrugged.“Didn’t your squad leader say that you should be taking care of me? Are you doing that at all?” Harvey teased calmly.“If a random conversation can turn into criminal evidence, cases all over the world would be much easier now, wouldn’t it?”“You’re saying that you won’t confess?!” the inspector barked harshly.Harvey smiled and rep
“The victim didn’t believe you could actually do such a thing. And so, you had her look at your villa to prove your strength.”“Using your hundred and fifty million dollar mansion, you were able to bring immense psychological damage to the victim.”“After going back to the Malone family’s villa, you threatened the victim to go inside your room to take advantage of her in the shower.”“Because of what you did, the victim felt extremely humiliated and decided to end her own life.”“This is exactly what happened!”“There are even witnesses and evidence to prove it!”“Are you still not going to confess, Harvey York?!”Kristan acted very righteously, as if everything happened just as he said.Harvey clapped his hands in amazement.“Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!” Harvey said, utterly astonished.“I thought only TV shows have such plots. I didn’t expect you to come up with better stories, Squad Leader Duncan!”“But is it fine if I list out a few discrepancies about your deductio
“If you’re saying that I don’t have the right to do so, I believe you’ll have my legal letter soon enough.”“You’re restricting a basic human right, after all.”Harvey smiled faintly, then took a nonchalant sip out of the paper cup on the table.Kristan sized up Harvey and snarled, “As expected from a smart criminal. You know the country’s laws pretty well!”“But since you know the law, why did you do it?!”“Let me tell you right now: the evidence here is solid proof! You won’t get out of here, no matter how much you know!”“Don’t think that I’ll protect you just for my cousin’s sake!”“Forget protecting you, I’ll do my best to get you punished terribly!”“Only through that can I show my respect to the law!”Kristan was acting all high and mighty, just to stop Harvey from clinging onto him.But just like before, Harvey only laughed.“It’s not that I don’t look up to you, Squad Leader Kristan. But you can’t protect me at all.”“I’m telling you again, I’m going to make a phon
