Chapter 426

Aaron slapped his forehead dramatically, his eyes sparkling with excitement. “Evadne, you once helped us crack two murder cases. In one, you found the crucial clue among the evidence, leading to a breakthrough in the case. In the other, you spotted a flaw in the suspect’s alibi that resulted in a confession!”

Thaddeus was dumbfounded, looking at the calm and composed woman beside him with wide eyes.

This was it. He was done for.

How could Evadne be so exceptional? No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn’t catch up.

Before, Thaddeus saw himself as decent, if not extraordinary.

“Mr. Thaddeus! I didn’t expect you to come in person. I apologize for not greeting you earlier.”

Seeing Evadne was a pleasure for the Chief, but seeing Thaddeus was a delight. In addition to the usual pleasantries, he even ordered Aaron, the head of the detective squad, to pour tea for Thaddeus!

Aaron was taken aback. Thaddeus quickly stood up, Till do it myself!”
