Chapter 36 A Sudden Storm Sweeping Past

 

Under the bright and sunny sky, Jonathan led the fellow security guards out and found six police officers coming out of two police cars. The police officers were all clad in dark blue uniforms.

 

At the forefront among the six of them was Amber, who was a female police officer who had crossed paths with Jonathan previously.

Catching sight of Amber and her colleagues, Jonathan heaved a long sigh as he greeted, “Captain Johnson, I’m pretty sure I have not committed any crime.”

With a frosty look, Amber walked toward Jonathan. Without saying much, she whipped out a pair of handcuffs. She then stated, “Mr. Lawson, you’re currently a suspect in a murder case. Please cooperate and come with us to assist in our investigation.”

 

Despite being calm all the time, Jonathan could not help feeling startled. “Murder? Who did I murder?”

 

The color immediately drained from the security guards’ faces too.

Furrowing her brows, Amber instantly handcuffed Jonathan. “Two days ago, you’ve severely injured a lady by the name of Bethany Ackerman at Jennifer Hoffman’s house, right?”

 

Jonathan nodded and admitted, “Yes. There’s no way she’s dead considering how fat and strong she is. I’ve only kicked her once. Even if she has died, it has nothing to do with me.”

“She has passed away at eight in the morning today due to a heart attack,” Amber replied.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Jonathan inquired, “I kicked her two days ago, so what does her death has to do with me?”

 

Amber continued, “Bethany’s family members said that after you had injured her, her health deteriorated and there was a problem with her heart. Bethany did not have any history of heart disease before that. Since you’re the cause for this, we’ll need you to come with us and cooperate with our investigation.”

Drawing a sharp breath, Jonathan comprehended the severity of the situation. The realization that it was a scheme by Leonardo began to dawn on him.

Jonathan responded, “All right, then.”

As he was in a country governed by law, Jonathan knew he would not be able to resist the police.

If he resisted the police, he would not have a clean record anymore and would not be able to protect Yasmin. Besides, for fear of hurting Amber’s feelings, Jonathan could not oppose her.

Thereafter, Jonathan was taken to the police car.

In the car, Jonathan was sandwiched between Amber and another police officer in the front row.

Amber remained silent, while Jonathan smiled wryly and asked, “Captain Johnson, surely you will not believe that I’m the murderer, right?”

Casting a glance at Jonathan, Amber answered, “My belief doesn’t matter. All that matters are facts and evidence. I’ll try my best to look into this case and give you a fair outcome.”

 

With that, Jonathan fell silent.
