Edward froze for a moment before reacting instantly. One was the bold and ruthless true culprit, who had tortured Bella! The other was a flustered accomplice, responsible for burying the body! Moreover, the latter must be someone intimately connected with the equestrian center! “Bansey, take people to investigate the equestrian center staff at the academy.” “Bring back anyone suspicious to me!” Edward let out a sigh, giving orders to his subordinate. Then, maintaining silence became a habit. After all, for someone normal like him, just conscientiously and cautiously searching for food had already taken up too much energy. There really wasn’t much left to care about other matters. Not to mention explaining things that already had reasonable explanations. If they believe it to be so, then it really is so. Excessive explanations would only backfire. Therefore, it was necessary to bring up something constructively meaningful— “When are we going to have dinner?” Edward, who had wanted to say more, stiffened. It was as if his hands once again felt the soaking of Newdeth City’s cold November water, starting to shiver uncontrollably. “The case is urgent, I must process it overnight right away.” “If there’s anything, I will go to ‘Watchdog Pastry House’ to find you.” After speaking, Edward turned and left. His steps were quick as he hurried back to his car, bringing a gust of wind with him. It was only when he realized Jason wasn’t following that Edward breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. A single meal had cost him three weeks of salary + allowance. If there was another meal like that, he suspected he would be left to face the cold wind next month. Because he could eat so much, was that why the military bigwigs let him go? Suddenly, Edward thought of this. Remembering Jason’s seemingly insatiable expression at lunch, he couldn’t help but somewhat believe his own conjecture. Then, he shouted at Bansey: “We have a lot to do!” Little Bansey answered. After the bodies and belongings were loaded into the car, Edward ordered to drive off immediately. He swore that he would never seek out Jason at a restaurant again. Jason silently watched as Edward and his party vanished like the wind. He had actually wanted to invite him for dinner. From the lunch meal, he could tell that Edward was strapped for cash; therefore, he considered Edward’s face and only ate to three-tenths full, kindly telling him it was half-full. Then, he decided to invite him for dinner that evening. But who knew Edward would be so busy? Well, never mind then. Thinking this, Jason turned and looked at the female pastry chef. “I—I don’t have much money, to take you out for a meal.” “But I can make all sorts of pastries.” The female pastry chef stuttered. As for food, Jason wasn’t picky. Moreover, to increase his “City Recognition,” Jason, who was now highly interested in the ‘serial disappearances of women’, had intended to follow her for the time being. It absolutely wasn’t because of the pastries. And just as the two were about to take the public horse cart away, Tedi caught up to them. “I have a car, let the driver take you.” A car different from the police vehicle pulled away from St. Mungo’s Academy. Jason and the female pastry chef sat in the back. Tedi, before the car pulled away, took a seat in the front passenger side. And, she would steal glances at Jason from time to time, her eyes filled with curiosity. When they had been driving for about ten minutes, Tedi could no longer restrain her curiosity. “Jason, were you in the military?” “Then why did you become a homeless person?” “How did you just now stop the dog?’ Tedi was taken aback, then blinked and soon let out a light laugh. “Jason, you really have a sense of humor.” “It must be the aura you honed on the battlefield that scared the dog.” “We were scared too.” “Although we’ve been training all the time, we’ve never had real combat training, so… I was thinking of hiring you as an instructor for the student council, would that be okay?” Jason remained silent.
