Chapter 207 Detective
“Troy’s ex–wife.” Noah said bluntly and jokingly, “If Ms. Forbes hadn’t said that your list was dangerous,
I would have thought Mr. Marshall had another young lover.”
Imogen was speechless.
Imogen looked calm. “Aside from Troy’s ex–wife, I have another identity, the daughter of reporter
Ignacio Forbes.”
Noah was startled, and his face suddenly became serious.
To be honest, when Ignacio passed away. Noah had just graduated from university and was full of
enthusiasm. He felt very sorry for the loss of such a righteous reporter and has been paying attention to
this case…
Many people then speculated that Ignacio had offended too many people and was killed. Unexpectedly,
the final investigation result was that it was just an ordinary car accident. This result, many people did
not believe, but there was no other
Over time, Ignacio’s death was gradually forgotten.
way.
Now that Imogen suddenly found him and mentioned her dead father, Noah suspected she knew
something.
That was why Imogen said that her commission was dangerous.
After all, many of the people Ignacio offended were capitalist plutocrats, and they had done unsavory
things.
“The matter entrusted by Ms. Forbes is related to your father?”
“Well, it seems Mr. Dawson knows about my father, so I don’t need to introduce him anymore.” Imogen
sipped her coffee. “Before I tell my commission, I want to ask Mr. Dawson, do you remember a
kidnapping case in New York City not long before his death?”
Noah lowered his eyebrows and recalled for a few seconds. “I seem to have some impressions.” “My
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtfather was investigating the case at the time.”
Noah did understand something. “What clue did Ms. Forbes find?”
Otherwise, Imogen wouldn’t have come to find him after Ignacio’s death almost ten years ago.
It was just that Noah thought it was done by those capitalist plutocrats that Ignacio offended, but he
didn’t expect it to be related to the kidnapping case.
Imogen nodded. “What? Can Mr. Dawson take it? If you can, then I can continue. If not, please don’t
tell outsiders what happened today.”
Noah looked at Imogen’s gentle eyebrows and fell silent.
Noah was a passionate and upright young man, but over the years of being a private detective, he has
seen too much darkness and many things that made him resentful but powerless.
The edges and corners of justice in Noah have been gradually smoothed by life.
Noah opened a detective agency in the first two years of working as a detective. He once rejected a
person’s commission because of his sense of justice, but not long after, the agency was reported, his
family was threatened, and the rejected client came to show him off. Pretentious a warning, Noah
complained in every possible way to no avail and finally had to close the detective agency. At that time,
Noah understood that sometimes, having a sense of justice was useless.
The idea was complete, but the reality was very skinny.
Let’s just talk about Ignacio’s case. If he was murdered, but with so much attention from society,
nothing was found out, which showed how dangerous the issue was.
Imogen also expected Noah’s hesitation. She smiled and said, “I understand what Mr. Dawson means.
Although we can’t cooperate, I also want to thank Mr. Dawson for sitting here and listening to me. Since
Mr. Dawson doesn’t want to accept this commission, I won’t force it. I just hope that Mr. Dawson can
keep the secret for me. Thank you.”
Imogen’s generous words made Noah feel guilty suddenly, and he dared not look Imogen in the eyes.
“Ms. Forbes is worthy of being the daughter of Mr. Ignacio Forbes, and Noah is ashamed.” “Mr.
Dawson doesn’t have to be like this. I understand that it is human instinct to seek advantages and
avoid disadvantages. Maybe if it wasn’t for my father, I might not have taken care of this matter, but
there is no if; the one who died was my father. I must take revenge for him and make everything clear.”
If this matter was leaked, something would happen to Imogen in front of Noah.
Only when Imogen died would the thing not continue to be investigated.
Even Imogen, a weak woman, dared to face those potential threats just to find out the truth about her
father. Why didn’t Noah dare?
Besides, in this era of advanced Internet, all rumors would be posted on the Internet, and Imogen has a
certain degree of attention, plus the Marshall family, those people may not dare to do anything.
Noah took a deep breath and made up his mind. “Ms. Forbes, I’ve decided to accept your commission.”
Noah didn’t know whether his decision was right or wrong.
Noah only knew that at this moment, he obeyed his heart and did not feel ashamed of his conscience.
“Really?” Imogen was startled, and there was some joy in her eyes.
“Really. I also came here to feel very sorry for the death of Mr. Ignacio Forbes. I hope that ten years
later, I can do something for him.”
“Mr. Dawson, thank you.” Imogen’s nose soured, deeply moved. “In that case, Mr. Dawson, please
make an offer.”
“Flat rate, five hundred thousand dollars.”
“Okay, let’s sign the contract.”
Noah brought a pen, and they signed their names on the contract.
Imogen put down his pen and handed one of the contracts to Noah.
“Okay, Ms. Forbes can speak now.”
Imogen took a photo from her bag, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Noah. “Look at this
photo first.”
Noah picked it up and looked, then looked up at Imogen and guessed, “This is the photo the kidnapper
Mr. Ignacio Forbes secretly took?”
Imogen nodded. “Mr. Dawson is smart. I found this photo while sorting out my father’s belongings.”

Chapter 207 Detective
“How does Ms. Forbes connect it with Mr. Ignacio Forbes’s death?” Noah asked while pinching a
corner of the photo.
“It’s also a coincidence. I traveled abroad not long ago. When I returned, I was at the Airport in Sacia
City. I saw Victor Davis, the truck driver who killed my dad and his friends. I thought hist friend looked
familiar until I remembered this photo.”
After hearing this, Noah analyzed, “That is to say, at present, whether the cause of Mr. Ignacio Forbes’s
death was murder is only at the stage of speculation. You just think the resemblance is based on the
appearance in your memory, and you have not yet confirmed the identity of Victor’s friend.”
Imogen nodded. “Although it’s a guess, I think the guess is correct. Any news reports on the kidnapping
case on the Internet have been erased. There must be something strange about it.”
Noah nodded seriously. “I understand. Now that the contract has been signed, I will confirm with Ms.
Forbes every step of the way. First, when will you meet them at the airport? I will find a way to check
the airport monitors, check the flight information, confirm the identity of Victor Davis’s friend, and then
retrieve all the information about the kidnapping case that year to compare whether he is the kidnapper
in the photo.”
“I thought so, too. It’s just that my ability is limited, so I wanted to find you.” Imogen smiled and said, “I
returned on January 3rd, and I got off the plane at 7 a.m. I met Victor when I was picking up my
luggage in the lobby. Yes. Victor can also look it up. I met Victor twice in total. One time. was when I
was going to travel abroad, at the New York City International Airport, and the second was when I was
returning home. They are also foreign airlines, and Victor’s family is ordinary, and the civil
compensation emptied his family back then. I doubt the money in his hands, you
know.”
Noah nodded. “I understand. I will investigate both of them, and I will come here first today. When there
is a result, I will naturally inform Ms. Forbes.”
“Thank you. Two hundred thousand dollar deposit will be remitted to your account later.” After they
chatted, Imogen sent Noah out of the room.
