The Queen They Buried

Chapter 151

At the police station, Samson sat there, clutching a water cup, his face a picture of pure innocence. “Officer, you’re asking me? I really wouldn’t know. I was just driving by when I noticed that guy following a young girl.

“Our boss, bless his kind heart, thought he had bad intentions and told me to check it out. By the time I got there, the guy was already lying on the road, beaten half to death. My boss? It’s Bowen.”

The officers exchanged glances and said, “Mr. Turner?”

Samson said, “Why did I even call the cops? I honestly didn’t realize at the time-only later did I find out this troublemaker was actually Mr. Turner’s brother-in-law, you know?”

“So you’re saying your presence at the scene was just a coincidence?” the officer asked skeptically.

There was barely any surveillance on that street-just a clip of Jacob leaving the bar, clearly tailing a girl, though her face wasn’t caught on camera. Now that Jacob is in a coma, you’re the only one we can question.

Samson feigned innocence. “I was just trying to be a Good Samaritan, but it backfired. You’re not suggesting I was the one who beat him up, are you?”

“That’s not what we meant,” the police said.

The officer’s lips twitched. Anyone with eyes could see that Jacob had been beaten to a pulp, but in all of Rithol City, very few had the power to pull that off.

‘And, wouldn’t you know it, the one sitting right in front of them was exactly that,’ they wondered.
