Chapter 44: Investigator On Duty
Kyle Leonard smiled, pressing his finger against her lips, “Shh. There is an old couple in the next room, so we’d better be quiet. And I should have told you in advance that your sentence will be judged according to your statements.”
“….”
“Yulem kills captured members to stop them from talking. You look like you’re at the bottom of the ladder, given that you’re not good at camouflaging and handling your knife. Are you going to be captured and killed by Yulem, or are you going to be under the protection of the Laurent Investigative Security Agency, even if you will be stuck in prison for the rest of your life?”
“Don’t make me laugh. If I tell you anything I’ll be dead in a second.”
“So, you admit. It’s up to you. Death or prison.” A silver revolver was pinned on the woman’s temple, and her face instantly turned pale. Park Noah pitied the woman again.
Despite her quivering voice, the woman managed a pretense. “Hey, do you think this would scare me? I know you can’t kill me here. Investigators do not have the right to adjudicate. Ha!”
However, Kyle Leonard wasn’t ensnared by her facade. With menace in his voice, he asked the woman, “Didn’t your boss give you any information about the man next to the woman believed to be Eleonora Asil?”
“What are…”
“There are only four people who possess the right to take immediate action: Her Majesty, Minister of Investigation and Security, Deputy Secretary,and lastly, the General Manager, which means, I can dispose of criminals in any situation at my discretion.”
Pulps of sweat trickled down the woman’s forehead; her face had turned extremely pale. A laugh of scorn escaped the investigator’s lips, “Bad luck, isn’t it?”
Park Noah sunk in her seat, reminding herself not to annoy him from now on. She recalled the moment Kyle Leonard pointed a gun at her, and shivered.
“Uh, uh, the command was only to look at the face! It’s the watcher’s duty!” The woman stuttered, her lips visibly trembling.
“That’s why you were holding a knife? You were going to stab me as soon as I opened the door.”
“Uh… I had no intention to kill. I was just trying to make sure she was the real Eleonora. If she was the real one, I would have withdrawn!”
“I don’t care about your intention. Do you know anything about your boss?”
“No…”
“Is there anyone else who has been given the same order?”
The woman shut her mouth, glaring at him. Kyle Leonard stood up, his eyes devoid of pity, and smacked the woman’s neck with his hand. The woman fainted and collapsed to the cold ground.
Confused, Park Noah asked, “Why didn’t you ask her more?”
