Chapter 2021

Before they could make sense of the situation here, another incident arose.

Ian drove Justin's Rolls-Royce, rushing to the police station with Bella and Justin to meet with Ralph. "What happened? How did Mr. Storm get involved in a murder case?" Bella urgently asked.

"Just last night, we received a report. Someone found a male corpse in a secluded alley on the west side of the city. The victim was violently beaten before death, having multiple bruises and contusions. The victim wore a phoenix badge on his chest, and after confirming his identity, he was indeed a member of the Southern Star Syndicate."

Ralph calmly recounted the events. "The alley was close to a high-end club that operates on a membership basis. It's usually deserted during the day, and during the night, their customers would head straight to the basement parking lot. Nobody passes through the alley.

Justin asked seriously, "Ralph, when the police performed the autopsy, did you guys find Elias Storm's DNA on the body?"
