As a high-ranking Oskian detective in New York, Merlin was naturally very familiar with Jordan.
Moreover, he also knew the inside story of the Fox family's previous struggle for power. He knew that Jordan's son, Spencer, had usurped Jordan's power, and he had even heard that Spencer had secretly been spreading news everywhere that he would pay for Jordan’s head.
However, he never would have expected that Jordan would be sitting next to Spencer so casually.
Due to this unexpected scene, he suddenly could not understand what was going on.
Meanwhile, Jordan clasped one of his hands over the other slightly as he said to Merlin, "Thank you for your concern, Inspector Lammy. I just came back today.”
Having said that, he pointed at Kathleen, who was next to him, and smiled as he said, "Inspector Lammy, let me introduce my most beloved granddaughter, Kathleen Fox, to you. I don't know if the both of you have met before.”
Merlin looked at Kathleen and said politely, "Hello, Miss Fox. We have met at several events before but we haven't spoken."
Kathleen also said respectfully, "Inspector Lammy, I've heard a lot about you, but I simply haven't had the opportunity to meet you."
At this time, Jordan spoke up and said, " Inspector Lammy, Kathleen has officially become the new head of the Fox family now. From now on, she will be in charge and have the final say in the Fox family. You can just talk to her directly if there is anything."
Merlin was even more shocked when he heard this.
'Thinking about it, this seems to be the only possibility...'
As Merlin thought of this, he couldn't help but think of Homer’s kidnapping, and he felt even more astonished at this point. He had a feeling that these two things were full of conspiracy theories and that there might even be some kind of invisible and intangible connection here that he could not see.
So, he couldn't help but ask Spencer, "Mr. Fox, have you gotten any clues about your son, Homer's kidnapping? Could it be that the kidnappers are not here for money but for some other reasons?”
Spencer said awkwardly, "This... Inspector Tammy, to be honest with you, I don't have
a clue, either..."
