Peter smiled. âMs. Larson, what are you saying? Youâre family. Itâs normal to visit a patient.â
I let out a sigh of relief and slowly let go of Zionâs finger.
âButâ¦â Peterâs smile faded. âSteven isnât just an average mentally ill patient. Heâs extremely aggressive. Aside from that, he has also committed crimes⦠Heâs currently being investigated.
Without the policeâs permission, we canât visit him.â
âDr. Jones, the reason Steven beat people up is still under investigation. The police havenâtâ¦â Zion spoke angrily.
Peter interrupted him. âOfficer Landon, if you are still investigating, I can allow you to visit with the documents. After all, we have regulations. You wonât put us in a difficult position, right?â
The hidden meaning of his words was that Zion was no longer a criminal police. He was currently a traffic police. He should direct traffic.
Zion clenched his fists and wanted to punch Peter.
I held onto Zionâs arm tightly. âLetâs go.â
âWe donât have enough time.â Zion was in a panic.
âWe can only put our hopes on Eason. Heâs the only one who can predict who the murderer will kill next.â I shook my head.
Peter wouldnât let us visit Steven.
âSteven fought because he was stimulated by the other party. The other party knew that he had mental illnesses but still stimulated him deliberately⦠If the police investigation has ended, and he is no longer under investigation, Peter canât stop us from Visiting him anymore.â I took a deep breath and turned to look at the asylum.
We couldnât waste our efforts now.
Since Steven decided to enter this asylum, he must have his own way of thinking.
âLetâs go to Eason.â Zion brought me along to see Eason.
âYou will face a lot of restrictions with your current identity,â I whispered.
Zion fell silent. He regretted acting on impulse back then and hit Simón.
Otherwise, he wouldnât haveâ¦
âI have a feeling that thereâs something wrong with Peter.â Looking at the asylum, I said in a soft voice,â Zion, did you hear anyone crying?â
I didnât know if I was hallucinating, but the moment I approached the asylum, I would hear cries. It was as if countless souls were struggling.
Zion listened to the surrounding areas carefully. He shook his head. âI didnât hear anything.â
I took a deep breath. âMaybe Iâm stressed out. Letâs go.â
Once I got into the car, I looked at Ewan. âTry to make Jake withdraw the case. In this way, we can visit Steve.â
Ewan nodded. âThatâs a bit difficult. Jake is arranged by Martin.â
I fell silent for a while. Then, I asked, âDoes Martin not have anyone he needs to beg?â
Ewan nodded again. âHe has. All of the deals he made for the past several years have been illegal incomes. For him to clear his reputation and dock business, he needs to take over the Lincoln Group. Through the Lincoln Group, he needs to launder his assets bit by bit. Aside from that, he needs to have the support of a fixed strategic partner to take over the Lincoln Group. The Crowdstar Group is a miracle in the business industry for its growth in recent years. Martin has been wanting to suck up to the president behind the Crowdstar Group. But the president is very mysterious.â
In short, the person Martin had to beg was the president of the Crowdstar Group.
He was the person Yasmin mentioned she could get in touch with.
âI got it.â I pinched the bridge of my nose.
I needed to make Yasmin introduce me to the president of the Crowdstar Group and organize a meeting.
with him..
Eason had just returned home from work when he saw me and Zion at the entrance. It was clear that he was shocked.
He looked unhappy. âDo you guys think youâre security guards?â
âWe d donât have much time. Eason, have you found the next person?â I asked in a heavy voice.
Eason snorted. It was clear that he wasnt Boofident.
He didnât have any traces. âThe situation this tape is uncanny.
