Jason’s sincere smile was able to calm the lady in front of him, and she began to quieten down. Of course, more of it should be due to the honorific title of “Your Lordship” the young constable mentioned in his salutation. “Are you the replacement for Chief Bondy here?” The lady looked Jason up and down. There was some distrust apparent in her eyes when she saw Jason’s young face. “Everyone is unique.” “Whether it’s me, Bondy, or you, my lady. It’s the same for us all.” “Which is why I can’t replace Bondy.” Jason maintained his smile and deliberately spoke much slower. It was as if he were a hunter–a hunter who was worried about frightening his prey. So, as gradually as possible, he said, “But as I just said, I might be able to help you. Especially when you are dealing with a situation that ordinary people can’t understand.” Amidst the sound of footsteps, Bondy appeared at the end of the corridor. Though his eyes were bloodshot, he seemed pretty invigorated. Obviously, he had used cold water to sober up quickly. Bondy widened his strides and quickly walked into the interrogation room. After a greeting made through mere eye contact, this sheriff pulled a chair out to sit across from the self-proclaimed Tik’s wife. Between the two of them was a long table. After shutting the door, they were completely enclosed within the four walls of the room. The oil-lamp on the table was the only source of light they were provided with. Bondy lifted his hand to adjust the light to its brightest. Jason raised an eyebrow at this move. This was, by no means, a proper attitude that should be shown to a subordinate’s wife. Instead, it was, in a real sense, a treatment given to a convict being interrogated. Was the other party an imposter faking her identity? Such a lie would be exposed at the slightest nudge. The other party could not be ignorant to such an extent. Also, as soon as Bondy appeared, the other party was obviously relieved. Apparently, the other party recognized Bondy. Bondy, on the other hand, did not show any reaction. So, the other party had probably heard the detailed description of Bondy from Tik. Jason observed everything from the sidelines. Bondy opened his mouth and started questioning. “You said you’re Tik’s wife?” The sheriff asked in a deep and low voice. The lady in front of him seemed to recognize Bondy and replied to him with due honesty. “As far as I know, Tik is not married!” Bondy’s voice was raised a notch higher. “At the town hall. You can always check it out!” “When we got married, we didn’t tell anyone.” The lady in front of Bondy immediately retorted. But the next moment, she bowed her head low and seemed a little afraid of looking Bondy in the eye. “Why did you not want to tell anyone?” The lady fell silent immediately. Bondy asked the same question three times in a row, but the other party did not reply to him at all. “Did you know that Tik is missing?” Bondy changed the question and used a more euphemistic choice of words. The other party nodded. And after getting the answer he wanted, Bondy slapped the tabletop hard. “How could you possibly know?” “I gave the orders to seal all news about this!” The bang and shout scared the lady across from him, who jumped in her seat. Her body shook, and she seemed to be on the verge of tears as she said, “Please help me. Save me! I’m begging you!” This made Bondy feel quite helpless. The other party was not the real criminal after all. Subconsciously, Bondy looked to Jason. Jason, who had been quietly observing from the sidelines, sat up straight and looked at the person across him. Then, he asked slowly, “Do you know Kalina?” Immediately, this self-proclaimed “Tik’s wife” trembled from head to toe.
