Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 884

Tarquin's expression was grave as he spoke, the weight of the situation pressing down on the room.

"We can't be sure the person we're after is even in there. Storming in might just be a wild goose chase. Plus, this country inn is suspected of drug trafficking. We can't just barge in and risk alerting them or messing up the police's operation."

Investigating the mysterious figure was their personal vendetta.

But when it entangled with the police and drugs, it became a matter of public concern!

The severity of drug trafficking was obvious. They couldn't let their personal matters disrupt the police's plans.

The trio was shocked, speaking in unison, "They're dealing drugs?"

"Yes."

The name of the country inn had sounded familiar to him, and after a moment of thought, he remembered why.

Keaton had mentioned it!

He had called Keaton earlier, who confirmed it was indeed the place.

Last month, there had been an incident at Keaton's bar, where someone was caught selling illegal substances. Keaton wanted to find out if it was a rival trying to sabotage him, so he started his own investigation.

That investigation led him to the country inn.

Keaton discovered the inn was backed by some heavy hitters and handed the information over to the police to deal with.

The police had started their operation last month!

They hadn't shut down the inn immediately, which meant they were likely aiming to catch bigger fish.

If they barged in today, they would surely disrupt the police's operation and risk alerting their targets.

And with the current information, they could only tie the mysterious figure to the inn.

But whether that person was actually there right now was uncertain.

So, for safety, they decided against taking any action today!

The trio understood the gravity of the situation and didn't argue with Tarquin's decision.
