There was a dead silence in the monitoring room.
After a moment's silence, Martin raised his eyes and said in a low and hoarse voice, "But Dayton is not as obedient as they arranged."
Arthur's back suddenly froze, and his pupils shrank slightly. A tinge of joy appeared on his face. "Good! If Dayton became their scapegoat, he should admit that he did everything today, instead of pretending to be insane and deliberately revealing such a big flaw! Dayton has become a traitor among them!"
Martin nodded slightly and said, "Dayton knows that Miss Benttina is just a trigger, and he can't get anything from her. He is not sure whether Miss Benttina's identity is 'black' or 'white', so he can only deliberately throw out the bait like this. Those who understand his words will naturally take the bait."
Arthur's heart skipped a beat. He immediately said, "You're right. If we can really get useful information from the mouth of Dayton, then this time, we may be very close to the truth."
Martin narrowed his eyes, with a hint of coldness in them. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Since Dayton is willing to throw out the bait, he will certainly offer his conditions. If he can't survive, he may not be able to say something useful. People like them who are desperados don't trade off anything unless they saw the benefit."
Arthur's face froze and his whole body tensed. He tightened his fingers and said in a hoarse voice, "No matter how much he contribute, he can't escape the result of 'sentencing to death' for killing a family of five. Otherwise, it's our dereliction of duty."
Martin raised his head and said, "If we can't keep him alive, I guess he won't tell us anything unless he has someone to worry about."
Arthur closed his eyes wearily and put his hands on his forehead. "We have investigated his personal relationship. Probably because he is afraid that he will die one day, in the past few years, Dayton is indifferent to any relationship. Even if he had a lover, it won't last long. His parents passed away a few years ago, and he didn't have a son or a daughter. He has lived for a lifetime, but in the end, no one is important to him. It seems that he has long anticipated that he will not end well, and has not left any shackles that he shouldn't have."
Martin glanced at Arthur and raised his eyebrows, "Who said that?"
Arthur was stunned. "Mr. Martin, you mean..."
Martin said, "Every month, Dayton will transfer a certain amount of money to a certain account, which is also a fixed amount of money, twenty thousand dollars every month. The account transferred to is an orphanage. I've checked that there is an orphan whose surname is also Liu, and his name is Callum. Although the money is transferred to an orphanage, it is only for the child named Callum. In addition, the club under the name of Dayton will donate ten million dollars to this orphanage every year."
Arthur jumped up from his chair and said, "I'll go to the orphanage right away to get him!"
Arthur acted quickly. In order not to make any mistake, he personally went to the orphanage to bring back the child named Callum. He was six years old and just in grade one. He was very obedient and sensible in the orphanage and at school. When he was taken to the police station, he looked a little uneasy.
After finding out Dayton's weakness, Arthur personally took people to the consulting room. When Dayton saw Callum, his face instantly darkened. He had thought that he was sure to win. As long as Arthur didn't give him an exemption, he would rather enter the coffin with the secret than take unnecessary risks. But he never dreamed that they would bring Callum back so easily.
