Chapter 46 - He May Kill You (1/2)

Halia placed a piece of paper on the table that was between her and Sean; it was the paper that Jackson had given her. Written on it, was an address.

”Jackson told me to go here tomorrow,” Halia explained.

”It's a karaoke bar,” Sean said as he read the paper.

Halia nodded.

”I have a feeling that he might be meeting Remy Durand there. Should we raid the karaoke bar tomorrow?” Halia asked.

”We need to make sure that he's meeting Remy Durand and that they are actually doing something illegal. Otherwise, we can't do anything,” Sean explained.

Halia frowned, she then suggested, ”In that case, I'll follow along and keep an eye on the situation. If it's playing out the way that we expect. I'll immediately contact you.”

”I will have a team parked outside. We will wait for your call,” Sean agreed with a nod.

Halia took a sip of her tea and sighed.

”What's wrong?” Sean asked.

”I discovered something else when I was following Jackson yesterday.”

Sean sat back and listened patiently.

”Even though it doesn't seem like he has a motive, I still think Jackson is involved with Marcus' death,” Halia explained.

She then recalled everything that happened at the strip club the previous day and revealed that Jackson was injured on the night of Marcus' death.

Sean shook his head and ate another chestnut. He then pulled out some doc.u.ments from his briefcase.

”I actually called you today to share some information I was recently notified about.”

Halia looked down and saw a police profile. On the top right corner, there was a photo of a man in his late 20's. The photo looked fairly old, but for some reason, the man looked familiar.

She then scanned her eyes across the man's details and her eyes froze when she saw his name. ”Marcus Chin?” she queried.

Sean nodded, ”This is officer Marcus Chin; an undercover policeman from the anti-corruption bureau. As you can see from his worn profile, it's been a long time since he last identified himself as an officer.”

”Marcus was actually placed into the gangs 12 years ago. As a part of the anti-corruption bureau, he's had an ongoing mission to uncover any police that are colluding with the gangs.”

”We suspect his cover may have been compromised. According to what you've discovered, there is a big possibility that Jackson discovered his identity and killed him. That gives him a motive.”

Halia's eyes opened wide in shock.
