Chapter 4311
Merlin intuitively thought that Spencer was not telling him the truth. However, he could not get to the bottom of it in front of Jordan and Kathleen and so, he spoke up and said, "Mr. Fox, did you prepare the cryptocurrency that the kidnappers asked for, then?" Spencer responded awkwardly, "This...
Well... Detective Lammy, my niece, Kathleen, is in charge of all the affairs of the Fox family now. So, you should ask her about this instead..."
Merlin frowned slightly before turning to look at Kathleen as he asked, "Miss Fox, since you are the head of the Fox family, how are you going to deal with Homer's kidnapping?"
Kathleen calculated the time, and she thought of how Charlie should be getting someone to publish those videos soon.
Therefore, she could not expose anything in front of Merlin yet.
So, she had a firm and determined look on her face as she said to Merlin, "Chief Tammy, although Homer is a little older than me, he is my eldest nephew and also the eldest great-grandson of the Fox family. So, we will naturally do our best to get him back. I also hope that the police will do their best to try to get him back from the kidnappers..."
Merlin did not know whether Kathleen's words were sincere or not, but he could only say seriously, "The New York Police Department has been doing our best to search for all relevant clues, but this group of kidnappers is really too professional, and we do not have any substantial clues at all within this short period of time. Now, we not only have no idea where Young Master Homer is, but we don't even know what kind of power the people who kidnapped him possess."
Having said that, Merlin added, "Before this, I speculated that the kidnappers probably did not kidnap Young Master Homer for ransom. In my opinion, the kidnappers' actions seem to be more like a long-planned public execution against the Fox family. They might have already gotten hold of some of Young Master Homer's scandals, and they are deliberately making his kidnapping known to everyone before leading the public opinion to sympathize with Young Master Homer, all so they could expose Young Master Homer's scandals once again. This way, they would be able to achieve the effect of first promoting and then suppressing, which would then leave a huge negative impact on the Fox family.
Kathleen couldn't help but feel a little surprised. It seemed as though Detective Lammy had already figured out the cause and effect of this matter, but he had yet to grasp the specific clues.
However, she could only pretend to be confused and say, "Chief Lammy, to be honest with you, I do not quite understand what you mean. Homer is still very young, and he has just entered society not too long ago. So, what kind of scandals could he have?"
Merlin shook his head and said, "I'm
not sure about this either, but I can be sure that since these kidnappers kidnapped him and cut off his ears before making it known to the world, there must be scandals related to him.
Having said that, he looked at Spencer and said seriously, "Mr. Fox, I have already told you the same thing once before. I feel like you know something and you're not telling it to me for some reason, but! would like to remind you that the time given by the kidnappers is If the
getting lesser and lesser is net
kidnappers were to truly publicize Young Master Homer's huge scandal, it would not only be the reputation of the Fox family that is ruined, but the police will also face a dilemma! It is likely that the people will no longer support us in rescuing Young Master Homer at that time, and if we continue to do so, we will lose the public's support. However, if we do not continue, we will lose our dignity as police officers..."
Spencer said embarrassedly, "Chief hammy... I-I really don't know! That grandson of mine is... in every way...'
As Spencer spoke of this, he suddenly found it a little difficult for him to speak up.
He had originally wanted to say that his grandson was excellent in every aspect and definitely would not be involved in any scandals.
However, he couldn't help but recall those videos of Homer's cruel and inhumane behavior in his mind, and this made him lose the courage to continue lying.
He felt that if he were to say thatnovelbin
Homer was excellent in every aspect in front of other people at this time those girls who had died in vain in turn

into life-threatening evil spirits who would seek revenge on him.
When Merlin saw that Spencer was suddenly stuttering, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Fox, what is it you want to say?"
Spencer dodged his gaze and said stiffly," I... I wanted to say... that this child, Horner... is really guite..."
The word 'excellent' had reached Spencer's mouth at this time, but he really could not bring himself to say the word.
Just as he was struggling and having a hard time saying the word, a police officer hurried in and said in a panic, "Chief! Something big has happened..."
