Luke finished his breakfast and left the house after he hung up Mr. Zac's call.
Luke got into the car. He did not leave right away. Instead, he gave Jason a call.
The phone rang twice, and Jason answered the call. “Good morning, Boss."
"I'll be an hour late for work today. Please rearrange my schedule," said Luke. He was not planning to head to T Corporation
now.
"Alright, Boss," replied Jason.
After Luke hung up the call, he drove the car out and headed to the police station.
He parked his car after he arrived at the police station. Then, he walked straight into the police station.
The police officer who was responsible for arresting Matysh immediately recognized him. He immediately came forward and
greeted, "Good morning, Mr. Crawford. Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Where's your chief?" asked Luke.
"He's in the office. This way, please." The police officer led him to the chief of police's office and knocked on the door.
His voice came from inside the room. "Come in."
The police officer pushed the door open and said, "Chief, Mr. Crawford would like to see you."
The chief of police put his documents aside and stood up when he heard Luke was here. "Mr. Crawford, what brings you here?"
"Where are the police with the Normans' case and the teen rape case now?" Luke deliberately mentioned the two cases.
The chief of police knew they were on the right track when they suspected Matysh had something to do with the Normans' case
when Luke asked him such a question.
"Come in, Mr. Crawford. I'll get you a cup of tea. Let's have a chat." The chief of police invited Luke to come in and sit down on
the sofa.
Luke walked into his office and sat on his sofa.
It was a black leather sofa. Even though it was not made of genuine leather, it was slightly wrinkled because people had sat on it
for a long time. It did not affect Luke's classy and domineering aura that surrounded him when he sat on it.
The chief of police could not help but feel that Luke's aura would get people to take him more seriously compared to Jack's
solemnity and righteousness.
He prepared some tea while Luke stared at him.
"Mr. Crawford, I heard what happened before dawn. My subordinates told me about it. I'd like to thank you. Your subordinate
caught the suspect for us." The chief of police thanked Luke. He was in charge of the patrol deployment outside the airport last
night. He was not at the airport, but he eventually found out what really happened through the police officers and the surveillance
cameras in the airport.
The chief of police even knew that Luke was at the scene last night.
He knew he had to handle the case well since Luke was so concerned about Matysh being arrested.
Besides, he had no idea if it was Luke's intention, but there were many posts about the teen's suicide case on the internet early
in the morning.
Now, not only was Pierre's news all over the internet, but there were also netizens bringing up the news about the teen's suicide
note on the internet.
There was a heated discussion among the netizens, and everyone was paying attention to the progress of the case. It had gone
so far that the public had forced the police to release a notice.
The notice was about the police officers receiving cases reported by the public and how they had found evidence about the
teen's suicide case. The case was reopened, and the police would look into it again.
The police's response received compliments from the public. Many of them hoped that the police could find out the truth as soon
as possible and seek justice for the teenage girl who died.
“Don't mention it. It was just a coincidence,” Luke replied coldly.
The chief of police felt a little uneasy. The coincidence Luke mentioned had made the police's deployment and operation look
inadequate.
The chief of police poured the tea into a cup and handed it to Luke. "Try this. I heard Mr. Norman likes the taste of it.”
Luke picked up the cup and showed some respect as he took a sip of the tea. Then, he said, "Chief, I've drunk the tea. Can you
tell me what's the police's progress now?"
"After we brought that foreigner back to the police station last night, we started taking his statement. But he refused to say
anything, and he asked for a lawyer whenever he spoke. We had no choice but to let him call his lawyer. Even though he said
he's called his lawyer, we haven't seen anyone coming to the police station since then." The chief of police smiled bitterly. They
had no choice but to take their time to deal with a suspect who refused to cooperate with them.
However, Luke's appearance at the police station was pressuring them a lot. It was difficult for them to quickly resolve the case
now.
They needed more evidence.
It would take some time for them to look for more.
Luke said, "I'd like to talk to him."
The chief of police shook his head and replied, "It's difficult for us to do that. You know it doesn't comply with the rules."
Luke took a file out of his briefcase and put it on the coffee table. Then, he pushed it toward the chief of police and said, "I think
what's inside the file may help you resolve the case."
The chief of police was secretly pleased, and he wanted to pick up the file.
However, Luke pressed the file with his hand and added, "There's a precondition for me to cooperate with the police. I need to
talk to Matysh."
The chief of police hesitated for a moment. His superiors were pushing him to quickly investigate the case now. He was worried
that he would not be able to take responsibility if something happened to Matysh.
"Mr. Crawford, I..."
Luke interrupted him and said, "Don't worry. You may come with me when I go to see him. I have nothing to hide, so you can
listen to our conversation. Listening to our conversation might help you to resolve the case too."
The chief of police was tempted for a moment when he heard that.
His superiors were asking him to resolve the Normans' case as soon as possible, but they barely made any progress.
He had been suffering from hair loss and could hardly sleep well these days. He kept dreaming of being questioned before
eventually getting fired after failing to handle the case well.
"Okay, but we need to record a video." The chief of police negotiated with him.
"No problem," agreed Luke. He was not planning to hurt Matysh. Hence, it did not matter if the police recorded a video.
Even though Matysh deserved to die, the thought of Matysh getting his punishment, which was to spend the rest of his life in A
City's prison and away from his family's power in Russia, sounded like a good idea to Luke.
Luke let go of the file and leaned against the sofa.
The chief of police picked up the file and rose to his feet. Then, he said, "Let me make the arrangements."
"Do you have anyone who understands Russian here?" asked Luke.
"No, we don't. We talked to the foreigner in English when we took his statement." The chief of police stopped and gave Luke a
confused look.
"He has a strange English accent. I'll talk to him in Russian. It'd be better for you to find a Russian translator after recording the
video," reminded Luke.
"Okay.." The chief of police was a little troubled. He had to find a Russian translator now.
He dared not to look for a Russian translator out there. After all, the police were still investigating the case. He was worried that
the details of the case would be exposed to the public if he looked for an outsider.
The chief of police thought that he could look for a translating app to translate the sentences one by one.
He quickly left the office when he finally thought of a solution. Then, he found his subordinate to make some arrangements for
Luke to meet the suspect.
Luke was still sitting on the sofa. He took a sip of the tea and suddenly thought of what the chief had told him earlier. Jack was
still in the hospital. He picked up his phone and sent a message to Johann: [Is Mr. Norman able to drink tea now?]
