NovelStartThey hadn't finished their conversation about the medication when another problem emerged.
Xavier drove Jasper's Rolls-Royce as they sped to the police station, a heavy atmosphere settling in the car.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCyrus was waiting at the police station, his expression intense.
"Everything was fine. How did Uncle Nathan end up involved in a murder?" Alyssa asked eagerly.
"We received a report last night that a male body was found in an obscure alley on South Harmony Street in the West City District. He was severely beaten, with many signs of lacerations and heavy impact.
"The victim had a Northern Cardinal badge on his chest. After confirming his identity, it turned out he was a member of The Ivory Gang," Cyrus explained calmly.
Cyrus continued, "The alley is near a high-end membership club. It's usually empty during the day, and guests drive directly into the basement car park at night. No one walks in that alley.
"It was an old lady who was collecting recyclables that found the body due to the stench two days after his death. By then, the body had shown signs of decay, with large rats crawling on it—" "Cyrus, stop!" Alyssa interrupted, her face pale. "A summary will do. We just had lunch!" Jasper, however, looked intrigued.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"In short, after several rounds of interrogation, Nathan admits to beating the man out of frustration. He denied the allegation of murder. He claimed that the victim was still alive when he left him." Jasper asked seriously, "Cyrus, did the police retrieve Nathan's DNA from the body?" Cyrus furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head. "Not only did we find his DNA, but we also have surveillance footage of the alley. It shows Nathan dragging the victim into the alley, beating him up, and then leaving." Alyssa asked further. "Was the violence caught on camera?" Chapter 2021 1 Cyrus sighed deeply. "The physical evidence is there, even though we have no witnesses. If Nathan were charged with manslaughter, he would likely spend the rest of his life in prison." Alyssa leaned back in her seat, a heavy silence settling in her heart. She didn't believe Nathan was inherently violent, but the evidence was undeniable. He'd beaten the man, leaving him in the alley.
"Nathan manhandled the guy, then left like nothing happened right under the security camera! It doesn't add up." Jasper squinted, his brow furrowing in doubt.
Alyssa and Cyrus looked at him. "What do you mean?" Chapter 2021 2 A sharp glint appeared in Jasper's eyes. "Even if he acted rashly and beat someone to death, Nathan is an experienced man. Why wouldn't he arrange for someone to clean up the crscene? It doesn't make sense." "Jasper, are you saying..." Alyssa blinked and anxiously grabbed his hand resting on his thigh. "Uncle Nathan was framed? Someone entered the alley after him and killed the man?" Cyrus coughed gently, feeling awkward. The couple's affection for each other often made him feel out of place.
