The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 246 Shitstrong’s Plan

Shitstrong’s scornful cold laugh met Daniel's warning. Afterwards, he mocked him with a sneering tone. "Scum, you think the Sarge is some naïve little girl? This old dilapidated house was built a century ago. Plus, with Windows Street slated for demolition and the entire street deserted, it’s no wonder the house strikes people as odd. You could certainly use it as a set for a horror movie. But your words can only scare dumb blondes, not the Sarge. She's not easy to frighten. You say there are spirits in here capable of killing people? Do you think such stories will fool the Sarge?"

Having said this, Shitstrong turned to Ava. "Sarge, since the scumbag claims Mia is in this house, let's just go in and search, right? If Mia is here, it proves the scumbag guessed correctly. Of course, it could also mean he's colluding with Mia; how else would he know she’s here? We’ll need to take him into custody for a thorough interrogation. At the very least, detain him for 72 hours.

If Mia isn't here, it would prove this scumbag is playing with us! He is obstructing our investigation, and we’ll have to arrest him to teach him the consequences of such actions!"

Shitstrong’s suggestion nodded through by Ava. "This scumbag is definitely suspicious. Whether or not Mia is inside, I will take him in for intense questioning myself. I’ll interrogate him personally!"

For some reason, Ava found Daniel interesting. Even though he was a scumbag, he struck her as the most intriguing of all the men she had encountered. So, she needed to find a pretext to bring Daniel into the station for a more in-depth exploration of the man.

Daniel gave Ava an incredulous look and said, "Sarge, I am a concerned citizen helping you solve a case, and this is how you treat me? Despite your beauty, I never expected you to be so hideous on the inside!"

Daniel’s words took Ava aback. Once she processed what he'd said, her eyebrows furrowed, and she scolded fiercely, "You scum, you’ve only met me twice; you have no right to judge me!"

Daniel didn’t bother to pay her any more attention. With a click, he ignited the lighter and set alight the other doll, the one with Handsome's name. Soon, it was reduced to a small pile of ash. Dabbing his finger into the ash, he turned to Ava with a serious demand, "Come here with your face."

Not knowing what he was up to but for some reason, Ava extended her beautiful face towards Daniel. He gently dragged his ash-coated finger across her cheek, leaving a black streak as though she had just escaped from a fire scene.

Realizing what Daniel was doing, Ava shouted, “What are you doing?” while reaching up to wipe away the mark on her face. However, Daniel quickly grabbed her wrist. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
