Chapter 665

As Luther stood in the Second Precinct lobby, everything around him

seemed to become so unreal.

Why would he feel he had been through the same thing in the past?

Had he experienced the same tense atmosphere before? Why would

he have such a panicky feeling now? His thoughts, breathing, and

heartbeat were disorganized and out of control.

After making arrangements properly for the internal affairs of the police

department, Officer Franklin walked into the lobby and saw Luther was

still there.

He walked up and said, "Mr. Warner, the SWAT team that had been

sent out to rescue Victor just now came back, and they reported that

before Victor fell into a coma, he told them that the person who was

after him was Ricky. Judging from the residual traces at the scene, they

were pretty sure he was carrying a heavy gun. There may be someone

else backing him up, and the person who has sabotaged the police

system should also be him!"

"Ricky?!" Luther almost thought he heard it wrong, "Ricky? The

lieutenant following Charlotte?"

"Yes, that's him." Franklin glanced at Luther. Though he wasn't that

interested in his private life, everyone in town knew that the Warner

family and the Heath family just had an engagement.

"So, Mr. Warner, I'm sorry. You cannot stay in the police station.

Because you are related to the Heath family by marriage. Right now,

we don't know the purpose of Ricky's move and who else is behind the

whole thing. Captain hasn't told me much about it before. To avoid

suspicion, you cannot be informed of any further details of the incident.”

Franklin said reluctantly.

"Avoiding suspicion?" Luther's eyes widened. Did they even think he

and Ricky were in cahoots?

“I'm not related to Charlotte, I'm not engaged to her, and I'm not related

to the Heath family. Now, all I want to know is what happened to

Joyce." Luther said, annoyed.

"All I know ... is that Victor said that Captain and Joyce saved him

together, and I'm not sure about the rest. However, according to our

analysis, since Captain was wounded, Joyce probably hid him there in

order to protect him. And she would continue to lure Ricky away,”

Franklin said, his face more and more serious, "Captain has previously

told us that once the communication is restored, we should immediately

locate his phone and Joyce's phone and send backup immediately.”

"So Ricky's target, originally, was Joyce?" said Luther, analyzing the

pile of fragmented information.

“Probably.” Franklin nodded.

“I'm sorry, Mr. Warner, I can't tell you more. Please leave the police

station. We are repairing our system, and once the communication is

restored, we cannot disclose our plan to you. The reason why I have

revealed so much to you is because we once worked together in the

kidnapping case. But, I'm sorry, I really can't do it this time." Franklin

regrettably made a "please" gesture.

Now under such a critical situation, he did not know exactly which side

Luther was on, and it was only right that he could not let Luther know

about the details.

Luther felt powerless and had no idea what to say to explain himself.

He was surprisingly questioned for his stance.

He felt an inexplicable panic. If he could not even know what

happened, should he just wait?

Waiting for Joyce to be in danger? Perhaps she would get killed and he

did nothing at all? He could only wait to be notified of the final outcome

and could not help in any way?

The key was that Joyce was now facing Ricky alone, and even Karl

was not with her.

And how should she cope with that?

He was politely shown out of the police station by the officers and stood

outside the gate, bewildered. With his noble status, he had never been

rejected like that. He felt powerless all over. The busy police officers

kept passing him by.
