Chapter 521 Attention To Detail

As Jasper regained consciousness, he was momentarily blinded by the intense brightness of the light. Nevertheless, he quickly recognized his surroundings, as it was a place he would frequent numerous times throughout the year.

As Jasper regained consciousness, he was momentarily blinded by the intense brightness of the light. Nevertheless, he quickly recognized his surroundings, as it was a place he would frequent numerous times throughout the year.

Upon seeing the familiar policeman sitting across the table, Jasper heaved a sigh of relief and greeted, “Hey, Cal! It's been a while!”

That policeman who sat across him was none other than Callum Little. With eight years of experience on the force, Callum had apprehended Jasper on numerous occasions in the past.

However, Jasper had never been arrested for a severe crime. In fact, the offenses he had committed were not even considered chargeable offenses, making it impossible for the police to send him to jail.

Jasper, Hubie, and the others were despised by everyone in the village as these men were as sly as a fox. They intentionally engaged in minor crimes, ensuring that the police could only detain them for a short period, thus evading more severe consequences.

Although their crimes were considered minor, Jasper, Hubie, and the others would regularly pilfer a few hundred dollars every few days. Additionally, they resorted to stealing bicycles and selling them for quick cash. They would occasionally engage in acts such as dine-and-dashing and vandalism. While they may not have been inherently evil individuals, the villagers still harbored deep animosity toward them.

Callum, having arrested Jasper just the month before, was taken aback to see him once again at the police station.

In truth, Callum didn't see much value in obtaining statements from Jasper and the others. The group of petty thieves would engage in casual conversations with the police, but Callum understood that there was little the police could do in terms of taking significant action against them.

This time, Callum speculated that Jasper had been apprehended for a more significant offense, possibly involving the theft of someone's phone or handbag. It surprised Callum to see that Jasper had progressed to robbing people, and the amount of money involved in such crimes had escalated considerably.

The authorities in town informed Callum and his colleagues about Jasper's attempted robbery by stopping a vehicle on the road. Given the serious nature of the crime, they determined that Jasper should face severe punishment as a result.

Callum, noticing the mischievous grin on Jasper's face, reacted swiftly by slamming the document down on the desk. Firmly, he asked, “What is your name?”

“Don't you know that already, Cal?”

“I'm interrogating you! Behave yourself!”

Jasper's smirk vanished when he saw the serious look on Callum's face. “Cal, I—”

Callum shot Jasper a glare before the latter could finish his sentence. Frightened, Jasper replied, “My name is Jasper Sharp.”
