Chapter 9 The Backstory

 

The police officer responded, “Jonathan’s case file after he left the country at fourteen was blank. He returned about one and a half months ago and was last seen at Horington. He never had a case on him while he was in the country, but he could’ve done anything while he was abroad, and we wouldn’t have known.”

 

At that moment, Amber was certain that Jonathan was a dangerous person. That guy has traveled abroad at fourteen. With his skills, he might’ve done some illegal activities there. There must be a reason for his sudden return.

Amber took a deep breath, then turned around and went into the interrogation room.

Jonathan appeared bored sitting in the room when Amber walked in. He thought the latter looked charismatic in her police uniform. This woman is quite good-looking.

 

“So, how’s the investigation going so far? Can I go now?” he asked. “You know I was framed, right? It doesn’t make sense for you to keep a victim here.”

 

“Forget about it. How can you be the victim?” At first, Amber was wary of Jonathan, as she thought he would be a scary person. But as soon as he spoke, she instantly felt irritated. “You can still go to jail for attacking the police,” she added.

Jonathan let out a chuckle. “Hey, do you think I’m unaware of the law? You guys weren’t even hurt, and I even fixed your arm. I should only be fined 8 thousand and receive a fifteen-day detention at most for what I did!”

 

Amber shot a glance at him and said, “Okay. Jonathan, right? I’ll excuse you for attacking the police, but you need to answer what I’m about to ask you truthfully. If you lie to me, I’ll report your identity immediately.”

Jonathan glanced at Amber for a moment before he sat up without another protest. “Ask away.”
