The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

Before Christian could reply, Merlin exclaimed excitedly, "Great! I finally found a clue! I'll have someone check the airport's information and surveillance to see how Quinn was able to receive news in such a short time!" Christian was startled. Slightly panicked, he urged, "Lammy, why don't we stop here? Let's not investigate any further."

Merlin was astonished. "Why? This is the only clue we have right now. I think my judgment must be correct. Keith's illness was too sudden, so Quinn couldn't possibly remove traces in time. But if she was given enough time, I bet the mastermind hiding behind would act strategically. We won't even be able to find this clue!"

He then asked, "Don't you want to know how Quinn received news of Lord Acker's illness?"

Christian said hurriedly, "Lammy, it doesn't matter. Whatever method she used to get the news, she doesn't pose any harm to us. She's not an enemy, but a savior. If she didn't travel to get here to save Father, Father would've died."

Christian paused for a while before continuing, "Our family owes her a big favor. We haven't had a chance to repay her, and yet, we're investigating her. This is unreasonable. If people find out, they'll think badly of the Acker family."

Merlin hesitated a little and then replied solemnly, "Christian, this investigation is not just for you. It's also important for the case. As I've said before, Quinn was able to survive Homer's trap and even had Homer shoot himself in the foot. There must be someone powerful around her. Maybe he's the one who did all this!"

Then, he added, "I haven't been able to find any clues about Homer's case or Lord Fox's sudden return. I can't let go of this opportunity!"

He also said, "Christian, don't worry. My investigation into Quinn has nothing to do with you. It's my decision as an inspector, in order to solve this case once and for all. Please don't feel pressured about this."

Christian let out a helpless sigh. "Lammy, you're a police. It's your freedom to investigate the case, so I won't interfere."

"Okay." Merlin could barely hide his excitement. "Thanks for your understanding, Christian. I have to go now.

I must solve this case!"

Christian urged, "Lammy, if this has anything to do with Miss Golding, please do me a favor and try not to involve her as much as possible."

Merlin agreed without hesitation. "Don't worry, I will."novelbin

After hanging up, Merlin immediately called his most trusted subordinates and ordered, "Go to the JFK Airport now and investigate all the information before the departure of the B9733 private plane, including the passenger's information. Get me Quinn's boarding time, security check time, and arrival time at the airport. Follow this trail until Quinn departs from the hotel this morning. Look into all her movements after she wakes up, and bring me all the images you can get!"

The subordinate was surprised. "Sir, are you investigating that

superstar?! Šure, many

e paying t

attention to her now. But if we investigate her for no reason... If the higher-ups find out and ask us, how do we explain?"

Merlin sneered, "I suspect she has something to do with Homer's

kidnapping, so I have to investigate

her. However, we must keep the

う

investigation a secret before we find

any clues. Otherwise, we'll both be in trouble!"
