Lord Protector novel (Zeke Williams) novel Chapter 2162

After all, his friend had been murdered in his territory.

“To tell you the truth, Mr. Bedzra, this person right here was the one who murdered Ms. Lucy.”

What?

Clement was instantly furious. “How dare you kill my friend? Do you have a death wish? Hold on, Bertram. Do you have evidence that he killed her?”

“There's no solid evidence just yet. However, he's the prime suspect from a legal perspective.”

“Lucy sent me a picture before she died. I suspect that the person in the picture was the murderer.”

As he spoke, Clement pulled out his phone and passed it to his subordinate. “Take a look at the picture and see if it's him.”

Bertram quickly took the phone from him and studied the picture carefully, comparing the man in the picture with the one standing before him.

“It's him. There's no doubt of it. It's Zeke Williams.”

Zeke was also studying the picture.

Even though the person in the picture was standing quite some distance away, and the size of the picture itself was small, he could still easily recognize himself.

The picture was also sent from Lucy's number.

At that, Zeke looked up and shot a cold look at Clement.

There's a huge possibility that Sheldon or Kush Clan had sent Clement here.

First of all, Zeke had previously run a background check on Lucy, and she didn't have Clement as a friend.

Besides, he was not the one who killed her, and she would never send his picture to anyone else.

Sheldon or Kush Clan must have sent Lucy's phone to Clement just to set Zeke up.

“What else do you have to say for yourself, Williams? There's another piece of evidence to prove that you were the murderer now,” Bertram said.

“I'm being convicted because of a piece of evidence like this?”

“Although it's still not enough to convict you, it's enough for the arrest warrant to be granted. You're the prime suspect right now, so kindly cooperate with our investigations. And I'll say it again, we won't let any evildoers off, but we won't accuse the innocent either. As long as you're innocent, I'll be sure to prove your innocence no matter how many pieces of evidence are pointing toward you,” the former said, his brows furrowing.

Zeke began to laugh in disdain.

Prove my innocence? You?

What wishful thinking! After all, your superior, Clement, is on the same team as Sheldon, the real culprit. Are you really able to win against him?

If Zeke had wanted to prove his innocence right then and there, he could have easily done so with just one phone call, and he wouldn't have to be imprisoned.

However, doing so would alert Kush Clan and he would not be able to lure them out.

This was why after he gave it some thought, he decided to get sent to prison instead.

That way, there would be a huge possibility that Kush Clan would send someone out to assassinate him.

“All right, then. I'll cooperate with you.”

Phew!

Bertram heaved a sigh of relief. He was worried that Zeke would continue to resist arrest.

“Follow me. I'll send you to prison myself.”

“Sure.”

Soon enough, he locked the latter in a cell and said, “Let me know if you think of anything that can prove your innocence. Of course, if you were the one who killed them, you better confess. Even though I've only just assumed my position, my investigating skills are still superb. So don't even think that you can get away with it.”

Nonetheless, Zeke paid no heed to him.

Bertram wasn't all that helpful to his plan, and he was still pissed that the man had pointed a gun at him earlier.

But he didn't blame him for it.

After all, Bertram was just a blunt and righteous person doing his job.

It was good that he was blunt and righteous too since it was much better than being deceitful.

Bertram had just left when a figure appeared before the cell in a flash.

It was none other than Sole Wolf.

A small police station could never hold off an Ultimate Class warrior like him after all.

He glared at Bertram and said, “That bast*rd! How dare he lock you up, Zeke? Does he have a death wish?”
