Reborn In a Murderer’s Embrace

Chapter 335

Robin was on the phone when Stella's cutting words sliced through the air, "She's worse. She belongs in a septic tank, not a gutter."

I cringed inwardly, grateful that Stella's venomous attack overshadowed my own harsh words.

There was a flicker of doubt in Finn's eyes, but it slowly faded away.

Once Robin ended his call, he looked over at Finn. "The dismemberment case closed?"

Finn paused, surprised. "Someone confessed?"

Robin made a face, clearly disappointed. "The boss rang me up, said I played a key part in the arrest, took an honorable hit, and earned my stripes for wrapping up the case. They're planning to award me with a commendation at the traffic division...” He had hoped for a reinstatement to his old position, but no such luck.

"That's it?" Finn clenched his jaw.

"And they're giving me leave. Told me to come back once my arm's healed up."

Finn scratched his head. "Wrapped up so quick, huh...”

Clearly, there was pressure from above. A serial killer case dragging on without resolution, the so- called dismemberment case had a suspect in custody, and it was time to close the book swiftly to avoid public panic.
