Chapter 96: I Have Confessed Everything I Did
It was just dawn, and Jimmy was headed to prison to see the murderer who killed Henry Texton.
The guy was deep in sleep and was very angry for being woken up for interrogation. He leaned on the chair and tilted his head, yawning and grumbling, “Can’t get enough of it? The day has not broken yet. I need to sleep.”
Jimmy sat at the desk and looked at him silently for a while and said calmly, “You didn’t tell the truth thoroughly last time.”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
That hooligan raised his eyebrows, “I have confessed everything I did.”
Jimmy smiled and said lightly, “Really. Did you confess something you didn’t do?”
The man was taken aback.
Jimmy was taken aback too. He just played a trick, and it worked.
After a few rounds of interrogation, the hooligan finally admitted that he was paid two hundred thousand dollars to be a scapegoat. If he didn’t do it, he would lose his life.
“Who paid you?” Jimmy asked seriously.
The hooligan turned his face aside and said sadly, “If I say it, it will not be just my life. It will be the four lives of my whole family.”
“Okay. You don’t have to say it.” Jimmy wrote a name on a paper and walked close to him, “Is it this person?”
The hooligan saw what was on the paper, turned stiff, but then he moved his eyes away in panic and shook his head.
Jimmy smiled, put the paper back to his file, and ended the interrogation.
In the morning, the scenery in front of her amazed Kate.
Among the jagged rocks of grotesque shapes, flourishing water flew down to the emerald pond tens of meters below. The water crashed into the pond and produced billions of white pearls jumping in the air. This was the Fossil Cliff waterfall. It is like heaven on the earth.
Kate looked at the swooping water rushing down to the pond. Her heart was thrilled at its might and majesty. She felt that she was so close to the creator of nature. The spectacle of nature brought peace to her mind, and the strife and trouble of daily life disappeared for this moment.
The person beside her asked in her ear, “Do you like the surprise?”
Kate turned to look at him and nodded hard, said out loud, “Yes, very much!”
To express her delight, she jumped, and the ponytail behind her head was dyed a golden color. She had never been so happy, so free of worry.
The smiling eyes and eyebrows, the curving up lips, and the dimples all showing she was cheerful and carefree. Tristan felt her face was brighter than the sunshine. When the wind blew from the mountain and spread the water, she would raise her face to feel the moisture. Her face and hair were soon wet in the water spray, but she laughed and bounced.
They got down the side of the pond. Some people were swimming in the pond. And some young men jumped from the cliff to the pond from time to time. Tristan held Kate’s shoulders, and they stood there watching.
“Tristan,” It was the first time she had called his name, and her voice was small, but he heard it. “Thank you.”
He put his chin on the top of her head and said, “I will take you to see all the beautiful sceneries in the world.”
He looked at her beautiful face, with dew on her eyelashes and the smile he had not seen on her face since he had known her. He added, “You are the best scenery I have ever seen.”
After 2 pm, Jimmy got the information from an alarm center that somebody said the number two leader of Devil’s Herd was seen in a small hotel downtown. This was a heavyweight criminal, the most wanted person still at large. He informed his team, who were outside, to flank the hotel from all sides and catch him in it.
Jimmy took the car key from the table and ran out. Claire followed and said, “I will go with you.”
He replied without turning back, “No. It will be too dangerous today. They all have weapons.”
Claire put her chin up and said, “I am not scared. I want to fight with you.”
Jimmy frowned and said, “Nonsense.” But he let her get in the car.
After buckling up in the front seat, Claire touched the gun in her waist and said, “Don’t worry. My shooting is much better than Bill.”
They just drove for a while; Jimmy’s phone rang again. The hotel owner said the guys were going to check out. Jimmy raised his eyebrows and asked Claire to inform the teammates. He sped up the car and prayed they would not let the assholes escape this time.
