The subordinate's report shook him. Merlin quickly asked, "What did you find?!”
The subordinate immediately reported, "I discovered Quinn's itinerary before she went to the airport yesterday. She was at the same place as you!"
"What?!" Merlin was the inspector, and he knew what that meant. He jumped in
shock and demanded, "When was that?!"
The subordinate answered, "She went to the Fox family’s manor yesterday afternoon. After that, she went to a restaurant in Oskiatown. Not long after that, you went to the same restaurant with Mr. Acker!"
F*ck!" Merlin cursed. "That explains it! Merlin was a little disappointed to hear that. He wanted to investigate Quinn more, hoping it could lead to the hidden mysterious figure protecting her.
He also concluded that Quinn must have a strong intelligence network, since she was able to receive the news regarding Keith's illness in such a short time.
After listening to the subordinate's report, he realized that it was just a coincidence and his conjecture was false. Quinn had been in the same restaurant with him, so it was not surprising that she overheard his conversation with Christian.
