Chapter 86

was too long, Winnie did not bother reading it. While drying her hair, she sent him a voice message: “Captain Bennett, it’s pretty late. Why are you still up?”Christopher was surprised to receive her voice message. “I was afraid I’d disturb you, so I compiled everything into one text. I’ve just gotten off work. You don’t sound like you’re asleep, either. Why are you still up this late?”Winnie replied: “I just came back to Avenport. Let me read your text.”After reading his text, Winnie thought about it and send him a text: Where are you? Are you free to talk?Christopher replied instantly: Wait, I’m reaching home soon. I’ll call you later.Winnie sent him an “okay” emoji.Five minutes later, Christopher’s call arrived.He went straight to the topic. “What is this about? Is anything the matter?”Winnie admired how straightforward and direct Christopher was.“I read the text you sent me. You’ve targeted the drug traffickers’ den but couldn’t find their contact. They didn’t have a fixed time and location every time they deal with each other, right?” “Yes, that’s right.” Christopher did not hold back in praising her. “You’re brilliant. I didn’t tell you anything yet, but you managed to guess everything accurately. They have been secretive about their deals and how they decide the locations. The customs suspected several export orders under Fairchild Corporation involved smuggling two years ago. However, our department never suspected Fairchild Corporation at all. We found a breakthrough when you tipped us off and discovered something off about Yulissa. We then continued the investigation and found some clues in Fairchild Corporation.Winnie nodded solemnly. “It looks like Yulissa is a key person. I can’t harm her for now. I initially wanted to teach her a lesson, but it looks like I have to let her off the hook for now.”Christopher’s voice grew stern. “Even if you hold a grudge against her, you cannot break the law. You have to solve it legally.”“I haven’t even done anything. Are you already trying to teach me what to do, officer?”“No.” Christopher sounded embarrassed. “You’re Lucas’ best friend, so you’re also my friend. I promised him that I’ll protect you. I don’t want to see you land in danger.”He hid his concern in his words.As he did not clarify, Winnie had no idea about his concern. After all, she did not remember crossing paths with him previously.“Sure, I’ll be careful and protect myself instead of troubling you, Captain Bennett. I’ll find a chance to head to Fairchild Corporation and investigate the courier company you mentioned in the text.”“Okay, thanks.
