Chapter 372: Caught

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The Le family was a wealthy family from China. They were also one of the police station’s tax collectors, even though they paid less tax than the Watson family.

If that was all, it wouldn’t be enough to make Elber hesitate.

The trouble was that they received an inquiry call from the Chinese embassy this morning. The embassy staff asked him about the Le family and said that they were concerned about the safety of their citizens in Wade Town.

How could Elber be an idiot if he could sit firmly in the position of director? The Le family wasn’t the first Chinese family to come to Wade, but the embassy had never cared about these issues before. Therefore, it was too obvious who this call was for.

Elber was afraid of getting into big trouble, so he didn’t dare to force the Le family. He could only find a ready-made excuse and let his subordinates say that a fugitive had escaped to their side. He could use this to trick the two young men from the Le family to see if he could find some useful clues.

However, just as he had expected, the two subordinates he sent out didn’t get any useful information at all. They even obtained evidence that Le Wan and her boyfriend were not present.

Elber could only report to Mrs. Watson,

“I’m sorry, Madam. We’ve already investigated. The two young people didn’t go up the mountain. They only stayed at the foot of the mountain for a while before heading straight to the holiday inn. There were surveillance cameras at the hotel that captured their figures. They checked into a room and didn’t leave the hotel until after five o’clock.’

Without any evidence, they naturally couldn’t arrest people just like that. They didn’t even dare to mention it during the interrogation, afraid that they would be sued by the Le family’s lawyer.

“As for why the two of them went to the cabin, it has been confirmed that it was indeed recommended to them by the church’s Pastor White. Without clear evidence, it’s not good for our police station to take excessive action. As for the criminals,” Elber said helplessly, “Judging from the surveillance cameras at the town’s intersection, they are most likely the two fugitives.”

Elber didn’t expect that the excuse he had casually made up could actually be the truth. This made Elber even more troubled. After all, the two fugitives were indeed evil existences. Now that they had infiltrated Wade Town and committed crimes, it was unknown if they had escaped or changed places to continue hiding.

Before they had a clear trace of the criminals, they were like temporary bombs that could harm the residents and tourists of the town at any time. As for Mrs. Watson, she was unwilling to hand over the victim, so they couldn’t ask for more clues.

At the thought of this, Elber felt a little frustrated. It was obvious that he wouldn’t be able to enjoy dinner tonight. He probably wouldn’t be able to enjoy dinner in peace for the next few days.

“Next, we will strengthen the security and patrol work in the town. We will also strengthen the pursuit of fugitives, hoping to eliminate the danger as soon as possible.”

In other words, they still had a lot of work to do. Compared to the existence of two dangerous people, it was better not to waste the police force if it wasn’t particularly serious.

He had already gone to inquire about how the two families had fallen out, and then he received the news that the children of the two families had fallen out. In Elber’s eyes, this was just child’s play. It wasn’t worth making a big fuss over it.

Mrs. Watson, who was still in the hospital, pressed her swollen temples in frustration.

“Continue your investigation. Don’t let go of any suspicious clues.”

As for Elber’s hint, she pretended not to hear it. Emma had suffered such a huge incident this time, and the Watson Family definitely wouldn’t let her off so easily. However, it was obvious that Elber wasn’t very reliable.

After hanging up the phone, Mrs. Watson sat on a chair in the corridor with some difficulty. Since last night, she had been mentally and physically exhausted because of the company.

In the end, she finally had time to come to Wade Town personally to pick up her daughter Emma. However, she happened to bump into the two of them sneaking down the mountain.

When Mrs. Watson saw the two of them in such a sorry state, she immediately understood what had happened.

In Emma’s mind, the two of them couldn’t appear in front of others because of their injured faces. Therefore, her original plan was to find a hotel to hide and wait for their injuries to recover before appearing in front of others.

This way, no one would know what they had experienced..
