Chapter 428 Unanswered Questions

Oscar slammed the brakes. His car skidded and crashed onto the curb.

Clutching his phone tightly, his voice came out hoarse. "What?"

"Martin... Logan... they're gone!" The voice on the other end was choked with sobs, filled with gut-wrenching grief.

Losing two young detectives in one night was a shock to anyone.

Oscar's body stiffened as he ended the call. He floored the gas pedal without hesitation, racing towards the incident scene.

Martin and Logan were the rookies he had personally mentored, the ones he trusted and relied on the

"Mr. Wagner! We want to be detectives. We want to rid society of crime!"

"Mr. Wagner, what about the people if we're afraid of sacrifice? Who will protect them?"

He asked them why they had chosen this path on their first day in the squad.

They were top graduates from the police academy. They could've chosen a safer, more comfortable life- why insist on frontline duty?

money.

He didn't lack money, nor was he cut out for management, so he simply chose to allow those who truly needed it.

He just liked staying on the front lines, playing the role of a small-time cop.

"Mr. Wagner, you're our idol. We just want to follow you."

Martin and Logan were good men-honest, reliable, hardworking.

Logan got married this year. His wife was pregnant. They hadn't even had their wedding yet.
