Chapter 279 Flirtatious The man had a bony face with very prominent cheeks. He had handsome features and his lips curved downward. His hair, brows, and sideburns were neatly trimmed, and even his collars were properly ironed.
Melanie instinctively felt that he was probably the cleanest man she had ever seen in the past twentyâodd years.
He was one of the Yorksâ heirs?
Before coming to Medonia, she had read up on the Yorks. Because the Yorks had a hereditary heart condition, the family had always had few members.
The patriarch, Joseph York, had one son and one daughter, but they both passed away when they were still young. They had left behind two young grandchildren for Joseph. One was said to be very violent, and the other quite hardhearted. She wondered which of these two he was...
The highâranking officer read the bloody report and called the police stationâs laboratory, asking them to do the same test on the same sample.
âBring me the person that brought us the report with no silicon traces!â The highâranking officer yelled harshly.
Very quickly, his subordinate came over to report to him.
âSince we got to the island, we didnât see the person who reported that there was no silicon residue... No one knows where he went... He must be the culpritâs mole!â
âIdiots!â
The highâranking officer roared angrily. But when he remembered that he had been deceived as well, all he could do was suppress his anger, and he said, âTake him to the hospital for treatment!â
He then turned around and said to the man, âLooks like the culprit is quite bold, modifying our evidence like that! Thank you for safeguarding the truth for us, Mr. York!â
Cough!
The man coughed a few more times and said, âItâs nothing. My grandfather bas asked our men to keep an eye on the result of the analysis. Iâm worried that theyâre not thorough enough so I went over to monitor things myself. I didnât expect something like this to have happened.â
âMr. Joseph must be very pleased that you are so attentive!â The officer quickly praised him.
A large group of officers had formed a human barrier at the dock and both Jeffrey and Cyrus couldnât cross over. When the alert was called off, Jeffrey quickly rushed over without waiting a second longer and immediately pulled Melanie into his arms. William held an umbrella over them.
Melanie turned around and looked at the man in shock before thanking him. âThank you.â
âYouâre welcome.â
He approached her and Jeffrey and said, âIâm Leo York. You have a great sense of smell. I admit that youâre 142 +15 BONUS Jeffrey gritted his teeth, turning away and leaving with Melanie under his protection. He couldnât take it when Leo flirted with his woman in front of him, treating him as air!
When Cyrus heard the good news from the officer, he cried, âSince we have the truth now, what are you doing?
Why donât you free my disciple?!â
âMiss Melanie is only free for now, but she canât leave the island. Thatâs because we still havenât found the real murderer. As such, sheâs still our prime suspect,â the officer said.
âThis is ridiculous!â
Cyrus was so angry that he raised his crutch, but his assistant quickly stopped him. How could he be so violent against the police officers...
âIsnât this enough evidence to clear her of any suspicion? If you canât catch the murderer forever, does that mean she has to stay on this island forever?â
âElder Gibson, please donât make things difficult for us. These are the rules. Miss Melanie really isnât allowed to leave the island,â
the officer said stubbornly.
Cyrus still wanted to argue but Jeffrey managed to calm him down. âItâs not a problem if she canât leave the island. Itâs only a matter of time before they catch the culprit. Youâre being too pessimistic.â
âYou fool!â
Since Cyrus couldnât vent his anger on the police, he directed it toward Jeffrey instead. âYou kept on flirting with my disciple earlier... Is that all a sham? This is not Harbor City and not my territory! Why do you want to keep her here?!â
