Chapter 2518
Leia and Freyja exchanged gazes.
They were in Yaramoor, and the laws here were not as strict as the Zlokovian laws. Moreover, even if the offender was arrested for petty theft, they would not be able to build a case. Thus, the red–haired woman would at most be brought into custody for a few days.
It was no wonder that the police officer looked embarrassed. After all, they had become accustomed to such behaviors. In addition, the other party was a habitual offender who had repeatedly gone against the law and got caught too, so it was only natural for the police to feel helpless.
Colton crossed his arms. “I don’t care about the money, but I have to get my passport and ID back.”
The police officer stood up slowly. “Okay, I’ll tell you where she lives.”
When the three of them walked out of the precinct, Norman was wandering back and forth in front of the car.
Seeing them come out of the front entrance, he asked, “How did it go? Did you find the thief?”
Leia looked rather disappointed and upset. “What are the local police officers doing? They didn’t even send someone to arrest the woman but asked us to go find her ourselves instead.”
Norman had gotten used to this norm and did not look surprised. “Hasn’t this always been the case? Unless it’s a major crime, they wouldn’t have the time to deal with such a petty theft.
“Moreover, the precinct of each region has been severely undermanned recently, so they can’t dispatch so much manpower at any time because it’ll be troublesome once a major crime breaks out. They’re just following their superiors‘ orders, so please try to understand the position that they’re in.”
Freyja smiled. “Alright, the police officer gave us her address, didn’t he? If the lady stole only for the money, then I think she won’t refuse to cooperate when we ask her for Coleman’s passport and ID card, will she?”
Leia thought that was the only way to go and asked Norman to drive them to the address written on the sticky note.
Norman was about to ignite the engine when he took the note from Leia, glanced at the address, and was taken aback. “This is the address of a nursing home. Are you sure that the officer has given you the correct address?”
Freyja and Leia were surprised. “A nursing home?”
