The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 882

“Chloe, we’re part of the police! There’s been a homicide, and we need to investigate thoroughly!” Jax insisted.

“Homicide? What homicide?” Chloe asked, puzzled.

“Dog’s homicide! Isn’t it obvious? Dog must have been killed—there’s no doubt about it! The person who killed Dog is this dumbass!”

Jax was convinced that Dog was murdered, and he firmly believed Daniel was responsible. As a police officer, it was his duty to uphold justice and bring Daniel to justice.

“Jax, for us to open an investigation in the department, we need to meet certain standards. You can’t just accuse Daniel of killing Dog without evidence. Since it’s a homicide, we must follow proper procedures,” Chloe stated as she pointed into the cave.

“If you think Daniel killed Dog, then Dog’s body must be in the cave. You need to go in, find the body first. Once you do, we can conduct an autopsy and then identify the suspect.”

Jax wanted to make Daniel’s life difficult.

Even if Daniel had killed Dog, considering Dog’s actions from earlier, Daniel could claim self-defense. Even if he was charged with excessive self-defense, he wouldn’t face a severe sentence.

Now, with Chloe telling Jax to enter the cave to find Dog’s body, he had no intention of doing so!

The cave was still packed with spirits, and those ghosts were downright frightening!

“If you’re unwilling to go in and search for Dog’s body, then shut up!” Chloe shot Jax a glare before turning to the other officers. “Let’s head back!”

The group descended the mountain.

Once they reached the base of Golden Light Hill, Chloe pulled Daniel aside into a secluded corner.

Daniel looked around, noticing that indeed, it was a private spot.

With a grin, he asked, “Chloe, what did you call me here for? You do realize you’re a police captain, right? You can’t take advantage of being alone here to try to flirt with me!”
