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 heusually dealt with were dangerous, but straightforward. With that in mind, what Gerald had just said hadnever crossed his mind.
It was also at that moment when Ichiro realized that the footage from the surveillance camera could becompletely useless. While it was true that they had managed to capture the man’s face, after hearingwhat 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 yoursubordinates provided earlier was completely useless. It’s also why I told them to quickly identify anyforeigners 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 bewrong, though,” replied Gerald.
Gerald, for one, knew for a fact that he was only ‘helping’ them in order for him to locate the Crawfordcultivator. While he admitted that it was a selfish motive of his, he also believed that the cultivator wasthe murderer of the Yanam special forces soldier. With that in mind, he had reason to believe thatinvestigating 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 allthe surrounding hotels!” declared Ichiro who now trusted Gerald more than ever. After all, Gerald hadjust 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 therest back, would you?”
As Gerald was thinking about letting Master Ghost have a taste as well, Ichiro simply laughed heartilyas 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,” repliedGerald 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 allthat Gerald had said. Eventually, he grabbed his coat before dashing off to keep an eye on theinvestigation efforts…
Gerald himself soon got back with the roasted chicken in hand. Upon entering the room, Master Ghostwho was watching television couldn’t help but get to his feet as he asked, “Is that roasted chicken Ismell?”
“Bingo. Noda Ichiro, the head of the Japanese military’s investigation team, got them for us. Well, me. Iended up becoming a temporary investigator for them to hopefully ease my search for the Crawfordcultivator,” 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 afterthinking about it for a bit.
“Indeed. Either way, eat up. The chicken’s untouched, if you’re worried about that,” said Gerald with anod as he placed the chicken before Master Ghost.novelbin
“Glad to hear. You know, I was just about to head out to get some food earlier, but it seems youreturned in the nick of time,” replied Master Ghost as he took a good whiff of the chicken before tearingoff 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 anyluck, I’ll find the Crawford cultivator and quickly get rid of him,” said Gerald as he sat before MasterGhost. “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?” repliedGerald after thinking about it for a bit.
