Inspector Hussain?

William did not know such a person, so he told his mom, “Mom, pass him the phone.”

Soon, a jolly voice came from the speaker. “Is this William Barrett? I’m Bradley Hussain, Chief Inspector of the county’s criminal investigation team. I came here to ask you a few questions. Can you make it back

soon?”

William replied, “Sure. I’ll be home soon.”

When he arrived, he saw a police vehicle parked outside his home. Also, Melisenna was speaking to a man and a woman. The man had a round body and a smiley face, while the beautiful woman was as captivating as Tia. She wore a pair of purple jeans with white boots, and her hair was tied into a ponytail, revealing her fair, oval face. Her legs were long, making her look like a high–fashion model. However, she had such a large chest that it seemed like they were about to burst out of her clothes.

When they noticed William’s return, the chubby man beckoned him over. “Greetings. I’m Bradley Hussain.

William nodded. “Hello. Is there anything I can help you with?”

With a chuckle, Bradley explained, “The chain of car accidents a few days ago had caused a few deaths and several injured. We’ve looked into the surveillance footage and saw that you saved most of the injured that day. Also, it was you who stopped the tank driver while he was committing his second crime. I came here to express my gratitude and ask you some questions.”

William answered, “It’s nothing. I just happened to come across the accident and lent a helping hand. By the way, did the driver admit his crimes? Why did he hurt those innocent people?”

The–long–legged beauty replied, “The tank driver had committed suicide at the hospital.”

Frowning, William asked, “What?”

Bradley nodded. “Yes. The person guarding him looked away for one second, and he used the needle of his IV to slash his carotid artery. Blood squirted everywhere, and he died a few minutes later.”

Feeling doubtful, William reasoned, “He got hurt inside the hospital, so the doctors could’ve saved him even though he did that.”

Bradly agreed. “That was our initial thought as well, but there were too many injured civilians that day, and the doctors were all busy running around. When a surgeon finally made it over, it was already too late.”

After listening to Bradley’s explanation, William sighed. How will they continue the investigation now that their suspect is dead?

Bradley continued, “There are a few questions I’d like to ask. You managed to push away one of the cars in front before the accident. I wanted to know how you discovered something was wrong with the driver.”

“I looked into the rearview mirror and noticed the truck was going very quickly when it was less than a few hundred feet away from the car before him, showing no signs of slowing down. Knowing that the brakes in large vehicles tend to malfunction often, I didn’t think about it too much and began hitting the horn. However, the car in front didn’t seem to understand what I was trying to tell them, so I could only start my

William laughed. “I do have good eyesight.”
