Chapter 598
Angelica retorted, “What else? Where should I go find him when I can’t even locate his wife?”
The experienced inspection officer said calmly, “You’re young. Take a leaf out of Chief Holt’s book.
Trying to advance the ladder too quickly will never benefit you!”
He had been jealous of Angelica for a long time.
She had no skills and had only become a team lead because she had connections to Nash. Now, she
even dared to go against him, an officer with dozens of years of experience under his belt.
If he did not reprimand her now, she would probably think she genuinely was his supervisor.
Angelica scoffed when she heard that. “No wonder you’re still here despite all your years of experience.
You’re all talk and no action. You’d probably get promoted if you actually put your ass to work!”
“You…” The experienced inspection officer’s face turned red as he listened to what Angelica had to say
“Can you guys shut it?”
Jupiter rapped the table as he said solemnly, “How many times have I told you guys to stop squabbling
amongst yourselves? Is this what you spend all your time doing?”
These experienced inspection officers were his long-time colleagues.

Indeed, they had tendencies to laze around.
However, their long working relationship made it difficult for him to berate them openly.

Angelica had put into words what he had been thinking for a long time, and he was actually happy
about that.
Yet, she had also gone slightly overboard. After all, these officers had been working here for a long
time, and Angelica had only just recently
gotten promoted.
He had to maintain a neutral stance for the sake of his colleagues’
honor.
Nash sat in a nearby chair and used a laptop to watch the recording of Jupiter and Angelica
interrogating Horace.
Then, he looked up and said, “Why don’t we release Horace since he
has an alibi?”
Everyone turned to look at him when they heard that.
Jupiter said hesitantly, “Well… it’s easy to release someone, but not to arrest them. If he makes a run
for it, we’ll have a hard time trying to arrest him again when we find evidence against him!”
Nash smiled. “I said to release him, not to let him go on the run!”
“I know what you mean. You want to use him as bait for even bigger
fish, but I don’t think Horace is that easy to fool!”
Jupiter could tell from the interrogation that Horace was not
someone who could be underestimated. It was why he had refused to

release him despite all the flak he was receiving on the internet from
his decision.
“Horace might not be fooled by our decision to release him, but the actual culprit behind Lori’s murder
might let their guard down!”
After watching the recording of the interrogation and going through all the evidence the inspection
officers had managed to find so far, Nash was able to confirm that although Horace was not the
murderer, he definitely knew who it was.
Horace was the mastermind behind what had happened to Lori.
If that were the case, it showed just how daring Horace was. How did he have the guts to use his and
his friends’ DNA to contaminate the
scene?
Was he trying to help the murderer buy time?
As Nash combed through these thoughts, he narrowed his eyes and
said, “Looks like we’ll have to start with finding Geordi and Sorn!”
He got to his feet and walked away after saying that.
The inspection officers in the room exchanged looks.
Jupiter said, “Let’s release Horace. Hunt… you and your men keep an
eye on him!”
Hunt was the middle-aged man who had been arguing with Angelica
just now.

Chapter 598
Nash arranged for Melody to escort Hera back to Royal Bay before he went to Salvatore’s freight
company.
At that very moment, the doors were shut and padlocked.
Inside the dim warehouse, Salvatore was beating up two men.
These two men were Geordi and Sorh.
Salvatore was sweating profusely, and he panted as he asked, “Are you still not going to tell me what
happened?”
Geordi said while panting, “Salvatore, we… we truly didn’t do anything!”
Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth as he spoke.
Salvatore kicked him again before shouting, “Still being stubborn? The inspection officers identified you
through testing the fluids found in the victim’s body!”
Geordi lowered his head and remained silent.
He had already explained everything he needed to. There was nothing he could do if Salvatore refused
to believe him.
Then, Sorn blurted, “Salvatore, we… we slept with streetwalkers once. Do you think they could have
sold our DNA?”
