Chapter 19: Boyfriend

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the interrogation room with two lights hanging, the high-spirited Darren had already disappeared. At this moment, his face was filled with anxiety.

“Good afternoon, Mr. Darren.”

Roan and Lacey pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked in. They sat opposite the handcuffed Darren. Before the two of them could speak, Darren hurriedly said, “Mr. Detective, no, there’s also a Miss Detective. Believe me, Sabrina’s disappearance really has nothing to do with me. I really don’t know anything!”

Roan raised his eyebrows and continued to ask without changing his expression, “Then what’s up with this thin and weak Mr. Quinn? Your wife went missing, and you didn’t let us protect you. You told us that you only wanted to pay the ransom, but you turned around to see Mr. Quinn. Could it be that he kidnapped your wife?”

“No! No! No! He can’t do that!”

Darren shook his head when he heard this. Roan continued to ask,

“You said that you were on a business trip in Los Angeles at the time of the crime and that you stayed at the Hilton Hotel at night, but we didn’t find any records of you staying at the Hilton Hotel. Did you go back to New York and kidnap your own wife?”

“I…”

Darren’s expression became more and more unsightly as he saw Roan and Lacey staring at him quietly. After a long silence, Darren finally sighed and said in a low voice,

“I wasn’t in Los Angeles last night. I went to Las Vegas. Quinn was working at the casino. After he got off work, I went to his house to play with him for the night… In the same room, it’s the kind of thing you guys think of.”

Roan was speechless.

‘I didn’t think about it. I don’t know. I don’t understand. Don’t talk nonsense.’

After a moment of silence, Roan coughed lightly and asked with a serious expression,”

“Darren, do you know what it means to lie to us?”

” I know. It’s a federal crime.”

Hearing Darren’s words, Roan nodded without changing his expression. However, he had just learned from Lacey that lying to an FBI agent was a serious crime!

He did not know who made the law.

Roan was secretly pleased. He would have a lot of fun in the future.

Seeing Roan’s serious expression, Darren became more and more panicked. He hurriedly explained,

“But I had no choice. After all, what happened between me and Quinn wasn’t honorable…”

“It’s not your relationship with Quinn that’s disgraceful.”

Hearing Darren’s words, the lesbian, Lacey, was unhappy. She slammed the table and said,

“What’s disgraceful is that you already have a wife, Sabrina. This is called cheating and betrayal, you know?”

“I love Sabrina!”

Hearing that she said that he had cheated and betrayed Sabrina, Darren was also unhappy. He slammed the table and shouted at Lacey, “Believe it or not, I love Sabrina! He loved her very, very much! I even wanted to be the one who was kidnapped!”

Roan felt that the topic was a little off track. He hurriedly pulled Lacey back to the topic.

“Then why are you looking for Quinn today? You suspect that he kidnapped your wife?”

“No, I just want to make things clear with him.”

Darren covered his head and said helplessly, “Quinn has his own boyfriend. We’re just playing around. The reason why I looked for Quinn today was to make things clear and cut off contact with him. I think Sabrina’s kidnapping is God’s punishment for me. After all, she loves me so much, and I love her so much. We have a honeymoon every year to commemorate our wedding…”

Roan was speechless.

However, on second thought, this situation was nothing in America. There were even more ridiculous ‘open marriages.’

Roan tilted his head and looked at Lacey, not quite understanding what was going on with this kind of same-sex relationship. After being glared at by Lacey, Roan hurriedly turned to Darren and asked,

“Okay, Mr. Darren, is there anything else you haven’t explained? If we find out that you’re still hiding something after we leave this interrogation room, then…”

“No, Sir.”

Darren wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and pleaded with Roan with a serious expression,

“I don’t know if you believe me, but I really love Sabrina. I really love my wife. Please find her! I… I can give you a reward of one million dollars after the event!”

Roan’s eyes lit up as he stood up and grabbed onto Darren’s hands, his face full of justice as he promised, “Don’t worry, Mr. Darren, I believe in your love. I will do my best to find your wife!”

“…”

A few minutes later, in another interrogation room.

The thin and weak Quinn, who was about 1.7 meters tall but had distinct facial features, heard Roan’s question and said disdainfully, “Stop fooling around, Sir. I don’t know who Darren’s wife is at all, and it’s impossible for me to kidnap her.”

“Why will you not kidnap her?”

Roan’s expression was serious. “Darren’s wife, Sabrina, is a rich woman. We’ve checked your financial situation. It’s very ordinary. As long as you kidnap Sabina and get the ransom, you’ll have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life.”

“Forget it. Although I don’t have much savings, there are plenty of men who are willing to spend money on me.”

Quinn waved his hand and crossed his legs. He smiled and said, “I’m very famous in Las Vegas. Many men who are looking for excitement will contact me. My skills are very good. I know more than a dozen rich men like Darren. Do you think I lack money?”

“…”

Roan fell silent. He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. It was Lacey who continued to ask, “Darren said you had a boyfriend. Wouldn’t he be jealous of Darren because of you, so he kidnapped Darren’s wife?””

“My boyfriend?”

Quinn was stunned, and then he laughed so hard that he almost died. As he laughed, he explained, “Darren might have misunderstood. The boyfriend he mentioned was actually my previous client. With just one time with me, I will make men remember me forever!”

Roan was speechless.

After leaving the interrogation room, Roan sat on a chair in the conference room and closed his eyes to rest.

The culture and customs of America had a huge impact on him, so he needed to slow down first.

“I’ve checked.”

Mona walked over to Roan and Lacey with her laptop and said with a smile, “The surveillance camera at Quinn’s house shows that Darren and Quinn did not go out the whole night. As for the boyfriend that Darren mentioned, he’s a small actor. At the time of the crime, he was filming at sea. Everyone at the scene could testify for him. There was no time to commit the crime.”

“Alright then.”

Roan scratched his head. The clues on Darren’s side were temporarily cut off, so he could only focus on the missing person.

“Could it be Sabrina’s competitor?”

Lacey pulled Mona to her side and put her arm around her shoulder. She tilted her head and asked Roan, “Should we check Sabrina’s company’s business situation and see if their company’s recent business has provoked someone?”

Mona was speechless.

‘Why are you hugging me?’

“It’s not impossible.”

Roan nodded and turned to Mona.

“Go and investigate Sabrina and Darren’s companies. Take a look at their business situation.”

“What about us?” asked Lacey, raising her hand.

“Let’s go search Sabrina’s villa. Maybe there’s something in that villa that we haven’t discovered yet.”

Roan stood up from his chair and stretched his back. “The good news is that we didn’t waste our efforts. Darren is temporarily excluded as a suspect.”
