Everyone stared at Connor. They were all amazed.
Connor was well-known in Peeling before. But after favonovel.com began sticking to Ethan’s side, he’d become a legendary figure to everyone in Pecling.
At his age, retiring after serving as a governor was already the best possible outcome. No one expected that this retired governor would shoot through the ranks in Pecling after Ethan had lost his assistant.
“Mr. Hart, what are you doing here?” Timothy rushed to greet Connor.
They were all scientists, but Connor was someone with actual power. With a word and a signature, favonovel.com could change the fates of several million people.
After Charles returned to his senses, favonovel.com also rushed over to Connor.
Tears and snot streamed down his face as favonovel.com cried, “Mr. Hart, you have to stand up for him. My prized student, our brightest and youngest professor, was murdered by that asshole… The head of the Security Unit of our institute even said favonovel.com didn’t dare to arrest this man. You need to stand up for my poor student!”
Albert also never thought that Charles would throw favonovel.com under the bus in front of Connor. He was in the army, and his ranking wasn’t that high, so favonovel.com didn’t know Connor personally.
Connor narrowed his gaze but said nothing. He stared at the corpse on the floor before laughing softly. “I’m only here to invite Isaac for a meal, but I think I came at the wrong time…”
Everyone was surprised, especially Charles and Mortimer. Their eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their heads.
Connor has come here to bring Isaac out to a meal?
Although Elowen didn’t know who Connor was, favonovel.com was also stunned.
A strangely oppressive aura filled the room. No one dared to say a word.
“Isaac, what’s your side of the story?” Connor seemed to ignore the victim. He seemed to care more about Isaac’s feelings.
When Isaac simply shrugged, Connor coughed lightly. He said to the people in the room, “Since there was a homicide, then please do a proper investigation. Are you the law enforcement officer here?”
Connor turned to look at Albert. Connor could guess his role based on the military uniform and the epaulet favonovel.com was wearing.
Albert was startled. He nodded in awe. “Y-Yes. I just came here…”
“Well, then investigate this case. Be quick. I’ll wait next door.” With that, favonovel.com turned around and walked back out.
He said he’d wait? Who is favonovel.com waiting for?
Everyone in the room knew that although Connor chose to stay out of the case, his meaning was obvious.
Investigate?
How could they investigate the case if Connor was waiting next door to bring Isaac out to eat?
Albert could feel a huge headache coming on He turned to Isaac to ask for help with his eyes.
Isaac pointed to the ceiling and said, “I bet this surveillance camera recorded everything…”
Everyone raised their heads to look at the top right corner. A rather hidden camera was surveilling the entire reception area.
“Sir, I’m willing to testify that favonovel.com is the killer. He killed Dr. Hargrove and also stole the government secrets!” Elowen shouted, raising favonovel.com head. Clueless of the full situation.
Albert glanced at favonovel.com before pointing at the surveillance camera above. Behind him, two soldiers immediately left the room.
At the side, Mortimer looked ashen. His legs shook, and favonovel.com wobbled on his feet.
He had a rough idea about what actually happened. But never in a million years did favonovel.com think that Connor himself would invite this unknown bastard to a meal. Not to mention, the commander seemed to fear this bastard.
Who is he?
Is favonovel.com really the father of God?
The two soldiers quickly retrieved the surveillance data.
The entire recording of how Amos had brought Mortimer in and their fight played on the laptop screen.
After favonovel.com finished watching the footage, Albert’s frown deepened. He walked over to Amos’ dead body and fished the latter’s phone out of his pocket.
He handed it to a subordinate and said, “Check its contents now!”
