Chapter 987 

Inside the National Investigation Bureau office, Elliot was reviewing recent testimonies from various Individuals

Jacob knocked and entered, standing respectfully in front of Elliot’s desk

Mr. Jenkins,Jacob began

Elliot did not bother to look up, focusing on the testimonies in his hands

He asked in a low tone, What is it?” 

Jacob stood with his hands behind his back. Mr. Jenkins, you’ve interrogated Mr. Romello for two days now. He’s the deputy chief, after all. After the recent tragedy at his home” 

Cut the chatter,Elliot interrupted impatiently, glancing up at Jacob. If you can’t reach the point within five sentences, be prepared to endure an afternoon of hellish training in my office.” 

Jacob shivered

He knew about the last time when Elliot tortured Romello for an entire afternoon in his afternoon. After all, he had to escort Romello back to the Nicholls residence afterward

He could not bear that kind of torment

He raised a finger

w counting his 

sentences, about to speak, when Elliot coldly reminded

him, You’ve already spoken four sentences. You only have one more chance with your last 

sentence.” 

Jacob was in disbelief

Four sentences

Did a pause count as a sentence

Knowing Elliot’s nononsense demeanor, he did not 

are to argu 

Getting straight to the point, Jacob said, According to protocol, Mr. Romello is a public servant

and with the recent bereavement in his family, you have to release him to handle his family 

matters if you can’t prove his involvement in this case within three days,” 

He finished his statement in one breath, not daring to pause until he was done

Once he was done, he breathed a sigh of relief afterward

Elliot calmly looked up, staring at Jacob with a smirk

It’s only been two days, and we haven’t even resorted to any forms of coercion yet. You’re getting 

Impatient too quickly

Jacob tried to rebut, Mr. Jenkins, but Mr. Romello- 

Get out, Elliot cut him off. Tell Romello that if there’s no progress on the case by the end of the day, I’ll let him go handle his mother’s affairs before tonight.” 

Alright, thank you for understanding, Mr. Jenkins,Jacob said respectfully, bowing slightly before leaving Elliot’s office

As soon as Jacob departed, Lionel entered

Elliot continued to examine the documents in his hand, catching sight of Lionel from the corner of his eyes but did not look up

Lionel approached Elliot and handed something over, placing it before him

Elliot finally set aside the papers he was holding and took a look. It was a completely transparent glass vial

He inspected it closely, then lifted his gaze to meet Lionel’s

Lionel wore a sheepish smile, hoping for praise

Elliot, I managed to get the information out of Marius.” 

Elliot stared at him. That’s quick. How did you manage that?” 

Lionel smirked mysteriously. I tried the emotional and logical approach with him. I did my homework on everything he’s been up to recently and found that despite being brothers with Romello, they have some underlying tensions. A little provocation was all it took.” 

Elliot was typically reserved during work, but he actually smiled at Lionel, obviously delighted

Well done. Tell me all the details.” 

Sure thing,Lionel responded, happy from the praise

Clearing his throat, he began his account with seriousness. Marius mentioned that it happened 

on the day after the banquet. When he returned home, he unexpectedly found Mr. Abbott burying things in the backyard with all the bodyguards and servants present. He grew suspicious and” 

Elliot listened attentively, twirling his wristwatch

When Lionel finished his narrative, Elliot scoffed

Since someone is already getting impatient in the interrogation room, let’s wrap up these. unpleasant matters today. If he’s hoping for an acquittal, he might have to wait for his/hext life

Adjusting his military collar, Elliot stood up with a stern gaze and headed toward the door

Was Frank’s first time being handcuffed and escorted Into the Interrogation room

Fillot had Insisted on personally questioning him

However, once Frank was brought into the room, he spent the entire morning there alone

The interrogation room was dimly lit with only a faint warm light from above. The walls were dark and foreboding, creating a heavy, oppressive atmosphere

Frank was already drenched in sweat, feeling mentally drained and tortured, unsure of when this ordeal would end

Suddenly, the large iron door of the interrogation room swung open

Elliot strolled in casually, sitting at the head of the table several meters away from Frank

Anxiously, Frank asked, Mr. Jenkins, why have you arrested me? I don’t know anything.” 

Elliot looked at him with amusement

Everyone who comes in here claims they don’t know anything. Eventually, they can’t withstand the pressure and choose to confess. Mr. Abbott, are you going to confess directly, or do we have to follow the usual procedure?” 

Frank trembled all over, unable to control the shaking of his legs

He fought to steady his mind

Romello had warned him that Elliot was cunning and would use all sorts of psychological tactics once he suspected something.. 

None of his words could be trusted

Mr. Jenkins, I promise to answer your questions honestly. I won’t hide anything.” 

Good. Remember what you just said. If you change your tune later, the law won’t go easy on you

Despite his seemingly casual demeanor, the threat was obvious

Frank gulped anxiously, nodding in agreement

Lionel sat beside Elliot, typing away on his laptop, meticulously recording Frank’s statements

Elliot cut straight to the chase

The broken glass in the backyard has been identified as new, without any dust. The day after the Banquet, were the servants at the Nicholls family estate assigned to do something?”
