Chad listened carefully and felt that Malcolm's analysis made sense.
He asked, "Bro, if he really wants the Callahan family, will you help him?"
Malcolm's dark eyes looked deep and he did not answer the question.
Neither explicitly said he would help, nor explicitly refused.
Chad had been with him for a long time, so he naturally understood what he meant and didn't ask any more questions.

Back at the National Investigation Bureau, Malcolm immediately asked Chad to launch his own investigation into Mrs. Callahan's death.
Chad cross-examined all the servants and bodyguards in the Callahan family.
After half a day of checking, there was no result.
Mrs. Callahan's autopsy result was out and it was indeed an unidentified drug that she was taken.
Chad carefully inspected the autopsy result and asked the forensic doctor, "Can you find out exactly what drug caused the asphyxiation death? And when the poison was taken?"
The coroner shook his head, "No incompletely dissolved drug was found in Mrs. Callahan's body. The result of the unknown drug was given solely because of the traces of poisoning on her body. But, if I were to guess, it is not a legal drug from abroad."
"As for the taking time, because we can not determine exactly what drug was taken, we can not confirm the accurate time. For some drugs, there is an incubation period. She died after taking the drug for a few days. So it is entirely possible to give you an accurate time."
Chad lapsed into silence.
In this way, Anthony cannot be cleared of suspicion of the time of the crime.
If Shane still thought that Anthony stole the key to the penthouse, it was not easy for Anthony to prove his innocence.
He pondered, went back to Malcolm's office and reported the forensic results to Malcolm.
Malcolm's expression was serious, "Call everyone in the Callahan family again for a second time of questioning. This time, I'll do it by myself."
Throughout the afternoon, all the servants were brought into the National Investigation Bureau's questioning room in separate groups individually.
Malcolm: "How was the relationship between Anthony and Mrs. Callahan?"
For this question, he asked each person who was sent into the questioning room.
A servant, who usually weeded and swept in the garden, said, "I'm not sure. I don't work in Callahan Residence very long. It was almost two years ago. Mr. Anthony was usually busy in his work. He didn't often go back to Callahan Residence. This time, he returned, but I know how he feels about Mrs. Callahan. After he came back, he did not mention Mrs. Callahan and did not ask Mr. Shane to visit her."
Another servant, who had worked at the house for fifteen years, said, "They were of bad relationship. Mrs. Callahan hated Mr. Anthony. After all, Mr. Anthony was not her son, and he was inevitably harassed by Mrs. Callahan when he was a child. Perhaps because of this, he felt resentful and killed Mrs. Callahan!"
But anyone who had been at Callahan Residence for a long time said the same thing.
It was pretty much the same that Anthony was bullied by Mrs. Callahan when he was young, and then he fought for the head of the family, and was fixed by Shane twice. Plus his bad deeds, they all believed Shane's assumptions.
It was Anthony who poisoned Mrs. Callahan.
After a full afternoon of in-depth cross-examination, it looked like it was going to get off the work.
All kinds of evidence and human confessions were all against Anthony. Malcolm felt a little bored, and unconsciously lit a cigarette.
Before he could take a puff, he suddenly remembered Lyra's strict no-smoking order.
After all, there were two cute little babies at home who couldn't afford to smell a little bit of smoke.
If he went back to be discovered, he would be dead.
He handed Chad the cigarette and gave it to Chad to smoke.
