Chapter 504 Come Clean

Cedrick was skimming through every witness’ recent statements in his office at the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Jasper knocked at the door and entered the room. He stood at the empty spot in front of Cedrick’s desk.

“Mr. Jenson.”

Cedrick didn’t even lift his head. His gaze was still focused on the statement report in his hands. “Yes?” he questioned.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Jasper advised, “You’ve kept Mr. Craig in the interrogation room for two days, Mr. Jenson. He’s still the deputy director, after all. With his mother’s recent accident-”

“Quit spouting nonsense.” Cedrick shot Jasper an impatient glance and warned, “If you don’t explain why you’re here in five sentences, be prepared for a super-intensive training session at my office for the entire evening.”

Jasper’s body stiffened at the threat.

He recalled the torture he’d been through the last time Cedrick made him stay back at his office. Knowing he still needed to carry Craig back to the Newton residence on his back, he knew he couldn’t risk at training session at that point.

I can’t take another minute of that kind of torture.

He opened his palm, ready to count the number of sentences. Just as he opened his mouth, Cedrick coldly reminded. “You’ve already wasted four sentences earlier, so this is your final chance.”

Jasper was shocked.

When did I say four sentences? I remember it was three sentences and a pause. Wait. Did he count the pause as one sentence?

Aware of Cedrick’s tenacity, he didn’t dare to refute and get straight to his point. “With the passing within Mr. Craig’s family, he’ll need to be released to handle the funeral proceedings if you can’t prove his involvement in the case within three days according to the rules and regulations since he is a civil servant.”

He expressed the entire paragraph in one breath, not daring to pause for even a second.

When he finished, he finally got to exhale a deep breath.

Cedrick coolly lifted his gaze to Jasper and smirked. “He had only been detained for two days, and we didn’t even rough him up for a confession. Yet he’s already losing his patience.”

Jasper refuted, “But Mr. Jenson, Mr. Craig-”

“Get out. Tell Craig if there’s no progress in the case before we get off work today, I’ll let him walk out of the room to handle his mother’s funeral proceedings.”
