Chapter 500 Show No Bias

Craig’s face clouded over as he stared at the arrest warrant.

“Where’s your evidence?”

Nico was well-prepared for a situation like that. When he heard that demand, he handed over the comprehensive pile of evidence,

Craig took it and scrutinized every piece of evidence.

Soon, he regained his composure.

“Mr. Jenson, according to the evidence, Charles Newton is the one accusing me of using drugs. He’s also accused me of attacking my imprisoned mother, drugging you, including the act of handing you the poison and the unknown serum. He’s been leaving the country illegally over the past year. Perhaps he’s been bringing in illegal things from other countries. If it was he who murdered my mother, then all of his statements cannot be taken as evidence. There’s a possibility that he planned all of this,” argued Craig.

His eyes blazed with anger, and his aura was imposing, “So, don’t you think you should investigate Charles first?”

Cedrick was unfazed. “Of course, he should be investigated, but Charles hasn’t been convicted yet. Hence, the Federal Bureau of Investigation will treat every statement fairly. You’ll be treated equally as a suspect, even if you’re a deputy director.”

Shooting Nico a look, Cedrick ordered, “Take the suspect away.”

“Okay.” Nico took out the cuffs and walked over to Craig, who remained still with an icy gaze. Immediately, Karl summoned the bodyguards to stand in front of Craig, blocking Nico off.

Nico questioned, “What are you doing, Craig? I am sure you know that resisting an arrest and obstructing. official duties is a serious crime. You’re a deputy director. Shouldn’t you lead by example?”

Still, Craig kept his silence. That was when Karl tactfully stepped forward to explain, “Mr. Jenson, Mr. Nico, Mr. Craig has just lost his mother. Could you give him some time to settle Mrs. Newton’s funeral before taking him away for investigation?”

The expressionless Cedrick voiced, “What’s the rush? Mrs. Newton’s death was unnatural. The most important thing to do now is to let someone look into the cause as soon as possible so the Newton family could be given an explanation.”

His tone was stern, and it left no room for negotiation.

At that, Nico moved his hand to the miniature walkie-talkie in the shape of a military uniform button and said softly. “Come here. Mr. Newton refuses to leave. So, we need you guys to take him to the interrogation room.”
