Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2157

Though he was in the investigation team, Ichiro didn’t specialize in solving mysteries. The cases he usually dealt

with were dangerous, but straightforward. With that in mind, what Gerald had just said had never crossed his mind.

It was also at that moment when Ichiro realized that the footage from the surveillance camera could be completely

useless. While it was true that they had managed to capture the man’s face, after hearing what Gerald had to say,

Ichiro now wondered if the culprit had been wearing a rubber mask as well…

“I don’t blame you for being speechless. Regardless, that’s why I said the information your subordinates provided

earlier was completely useless. It’s also why I told them to quickly identify any foreigners living in nearby hotels. Call

it a gut feeling, but I have a hunch that the person is still here,” replied Gerald with a subtle smile.

“… Hold on, why only foreigners?” asked the confused Ichiro.

“You’re free to investigate the locals if you want, but I feel that the murder is more of an act of revenge. After all,

the culprit only killed those from Yanam, which is why I don’t think the locals did it. I could be wrong, though,”

replied Gerald.

Gerald, for one, knew for a fact that he was only ‘helping’ them in order for him to locate the Crawford cultivator.

While he admitted that it was a selfish motive of his, he also believed that the cultivator was the murderer of the

Yanam special forces soldier. With that in mind, he had reason to believe that investigating the locals would only be

a waste of energy.

“… I see! Either way, don’t you worry! I’ll order my subordinates to run thorough investigations on all the

surrounding hotels!” declared Ichiro who now trusted Gerald more than ever. After all, Gerald had just given them

new leads to look into. Now, there truly was a chance for them to crack the case!

Gerald himself who had just finished his second roasted chicken released a large burp before saying, “I’m sure you

will. By the way, the roasted chicken really is delectable. You wouldn’t mind me taking the rest back, would you?”

As Gerald was thinking about letting Master Ghost have a taste as well, Ichiro simply laughed heartily as he replied,

“Feel free! Honestly, if you like them so much, I’m willing to send them to you every day!”

“There’s no need for that. Either way, I’ll be heading back first. I’ll contact you again tonight,” replied Gerald as he

carried the remaining roasted chicken away with him…

Watching as Gerald left, Ichiro then stood on the spot for a while, slowly taking the time to process all that Gerald

had said. Eventually, he grabbed his coat before dashing off to keep an eye on the investigation efforts…

Gerald himself soon got back with the roasted chicken in hand. Upon entering the room, Master Ghost who was

watching television couldn’t help but get to his feet as he asked, “Is that roasted chicken I smell?”

“Bingo. Noda Ichiro, the head of the Japanese military’s investigation team, got them for us. Well, me. I ended up

becoming a temporary investigator for them to hopefully ease my search for the Crawford cultivator,” explained

Gerald.

“I see. With the investigation team on our side, not only will your odds of finding the cultivator increase, but even if

the cultivator discovers you, he probably won’t dare to attack,” replied Master Ghost after thinking about it for a bit.

“Indeed. Either way, eat up. The chicken’s untouched, if you’re worried about that,” said Gerald with a nod as he

placed the chicken before Master Ghost.

“Glad to hear. You know, I was just about to head out to get some food earlier, but it seems you returned in the nick

of time,” replied Master Ghost as he took a good whiff of the chicken before tearing off a drumstick and stuffing it

into his mouth.

“I suppose. Speaking of which, I’m heading out to the hotel tonight to have a look around. With any luck, I’ll find the

Crawford cultivator and quickly get rid of him,” said Gerald as he sat before Master Ghost. “Would you like me to

join you?” asked Master Ghost with a nod.

“Well, with the investigation team there, you should be safe. With that said, sure, why not?” replied Gerald after

thinking about it for a bit.
