The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 237 A Forced Hand

Daniel weaved his way through the streets on his electric bike, heading towards the area behind King’s. Upon arriving, he found a crowd gathered nearby. Pushing through, he discovered that someone had jumped from a building—it was a woman in a King's uniform.

Looking closely, Daniel noticed something off about the woman's complexion; her face bore a tinge of darkness. It wasn't a willing act; she must have encountered something evil, something that drove her to jump.

Glancing upward, Daniel spotted a thin veil of black mist enveloping one of the windows on the thirteenth floor, invisible to the average person because it was the aura of an evil spirit. Only someone with special abilities, like Daniel, could see it.

If Daniel was correct, the woman must have visited that room on the thirteenth floor before her leap.

At that moment, Medical Examiner Shitstrong finished examining the body and came to a preliminary conclusion. He reported to Ava, "Detective, it looks like a suicide."

"Suicide?" Ava pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Let's have the staff make a record of it, complete the procedure, and close the case."

Daniel took a good look at the beautiful woman—it was Ava! The very same person who had checked him for DUI a few days ago. She was investigating another case now; she wasn't specialized in this kind of thing.

This server, he believed, was a victim—Daniel felt he must bring justice to light.

He was supposed to buy barbecue for his 'dear' but decided to set that aside to seek justice first. Stepping forward, he spoke out, "She didn't jump by her own accord, she was harmed by someone."

Ava looked up, recognizing the familiar pain in the neck after a moment's thought, "You? What scum is out and about so late? Where's your wife? Doesn't she care about you?"

"How am I scum? That woman last time wasn't my wife; she's just a colleague."

"A colleague? Your colleague would sit in the passenger seat? Your colleague would report you for drunk driving?"

"Did I drive drunk?"

"No."
