Chapter 385

Luther was a little surprised to see Karl. In fact, he saw Joyce walking

out of the group's lobby and into the restaurant opposite the group

earlier, as if she had an appointment.

"It's ok.” Karl felt the tension of swords between them.

He sat down, "What I'm about to say also involves the R&S Group. it

wouldn't hurt for Luther to hear it together."

Luther stared, adjusting his sitting posture, his expression turned from a

leisurely attitude to seriousness in a moment. He knew Karl pretty well

now. There must be some progress, and they did not want to disclose

that to the public just yet.

Since Karl didn't mind, Joyce reluctantly picked up the electronic menu

again and added a French baked lamb chop and three cups of

Americano. After placing the order, she regretted that she had

subconsciously ordered Luther's favorite dish for him.

Karl said to them in a gruff voice, "Do you still remember Lauren?

When you came out of the detention center once you said something to

me, suggesting that I look into Lauren's case in detail. Since there has

been no substantial progress regarding Stephanie's murder case, so I

temporarily focused my investigation on Lauren's case. I wanted to try

to see if I could find a connection and open my mind a bit."

Joyce nodded solemnly. Indeed, when she was in the detention center,

although Lauren was hostile to her and repeatedly made things difficult

for her, but she could feel from Lauren's anger and aggression that

perhaps it was not Lauren that night.

Before she was released from the detention center, she promised

Lauren that she would find the person who was really behind

everything.

"Yes, Karl, I have no proof, just a feeling alone that even if it was

indeed Lauren who drugged me, she was not capable of making such a

seamless plan to hire someone else to molest me. It always felt like a

mismatch, something wasn't right. Thank you, for doing your best to

investigate for me just for my personal guess.”

Karl acknowledged, "Your speculation is not unreasonable. At that time,

because the Lauren case was not a serious case, I could not be

personally involved in every case. So, it was just normal to me when

Officer Longman was pulling the case out at that time. Right now,

Officer Longman has been transferred to another city by someone

above, and that's when I found the whole thing quite fishy."

Luther listened and narrowed his cold eyes, not expecting that the

seemingly simple Lauren case would have a hidden scheme behind it.

He vaguely felt that there must be some kind of connection behind all

the things against Joyce.

And finding that connection would be the key to solving all the

problems.

At that moment, the waiter brought the dish Joyce had ordered earlier.

"Hello, ma'am, misters, the French lamb chops are for..." The waiter

asked enthusiastically.

"Mine." The corners of Luther's lips curled slightly, and his good-looking

sharp eyes glanced obliquely at Joyce.

Joyce felt his teasing gaze sweeping back and forth across her face,

and she felt embarrassed, her cheeks instantly flushed.

The waiter then set the French lamb chops in front of Luther.

Asked again, "And smoked cod ..."

Before the words were out of his mouth, Luther pointed to Joyce, “This

is what she loves to eat."

The waiter nodded gently, handed the cod to Joyce, and placed the last

plate in front of Karl. Then he respectfully retreated, "Please enjoy your

meal!"

Karl's keen eyes crossed over them, and it was clear they cared for

each other.

He cleared his throat and said the point, "I checked all the surveillance,

vehicles, and even extended the range to five kilometers from Joyce's

accident site. Finally I found one man particularly suspicious - Thomas!"
