The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 246

Shitstrong’s scornful cold laugh met Daniel's warning. Afterwards, he mocked him with a sneering tone. "Scum, you think the Sarge is some naïve little girl? This old dilapidated house was built a century ago. Plus, with Windows Street slated for demolition and the entire street deserted, it’s no wonder the house strikes people as odd. You could certainly use it as a set for a horror movie. But your words can only scare dumb blondes, not the Sarge. She's not easy to frighten. You say there are spirits in here capable of killing people? Do you think such stories will fool the Sarge?"

Having said this, Shitstrong turned to Ava. "Sarge, since the scumbag claims Mia is in this house, let's just go in and search, right? If Mia is here, it proves the scumbag guessed correctly. Of course, it could also mean he's colluding with Mia; how else would he know she’s here? We’ll need to take him into custody for a thorough interrogation. At the very least, detain him for 72 hours.

If Mia isn't here, it would prove this scumbag is playing with us! He is obstructing our investigation, and we’ll have to arrest him to teach him the consequences of such actions!"

Shitstrong’s suggestion nodded through by Ava. "This scumbag is definitely suspicious. Whether or not Mia is inside, I will take him in for intense questioning myself. I’ll interrogate him personally!"

For some reason, Ava found Daniel interesting. Even though he was a scumbag, he struck her as the most intriguing of all the men she had encountered. So, she needed to find a pretext to bring Daniel into the station for a more in-depth exploration of the man.
