Chapter 9: The Story in the Clinic

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Scarsdale Town, 6.00 PM…

“This burger looks good.”

At the entrance of a fast food restaurant in town, Mona returned to the car with a burger and coke. She handed half of it to Roan and said as she ate, “What should we do next?”

This afternoon, Roan had led Mona to successfully find clues. They had also discovered the murderer in the past few hours. This had completely established Roan’s dominant position in the two-man team. Mona subconsciously asked Roan about this matter.

After taking a big bite of his burger and gulping down a mouthful of coke, Luo An started the car and turned the steering wheel.

“I just called Augustus. He sent the information of the murderer, Conrad Cutler, to various police stations in the New York area. The arrest warrant for him has already begun.”

“Good!”

Mona’s eyes sparkled as she tilted her head and asked,”

“How much is the bounty?”

“5,000 dollars. However, Augustus had already brought the SWAT team to Scarsdale Town.”

Hearing the word ‘SWAT’, Mona’s excited expression suddenly calmed down.”

“If they catch the murderer, then this money…”

“It definitely will have nothing to do with us.”

Roan swallowed the last bite of his burger and finished his coke. He turned the steering wheel and drove the SUV onto the town road.

“So we have to catch Conrad before they arrive!”

“Wait a moment, Roan.”

After finishing her food, Mona picked up her laptop. Her intelligence once again occupied the high ground. She turned her head and said worriedly, “Even if we find Conrad, I’m afraid the two of us won’t be able to catch him, right? According to the information, Conrad was a soldier with rich combat experience…Just like what you said before, I don’t want to die before I earn money.”

“If we catch the murderer and solve the case, the two of us can get the 50,000 dollars bounty from the New York Press Association and the 5,000 dollars on the arrest warrant.”

“…”

“27,500 dollars per person.”

“…”

“Our salary is only 2,000 dollars a month.”

“… After I get the money, I’m going to leave my run-down apartment in Brooks and move to a big apartment in Manhattan!”

Hearing Roa’s faint words, Mona used her hand to fiercely tap on the keyboard.”

“Tell me, where are we going to find Conrad next?”

“Haha.”

Roan stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to another road in the town. At the same time, he pointed at the pistol that Conrad had left behind at the scene of the firefight.

“When we were exchanging fire at the entrance of the villa, I shot Conrad’s left hand, allowing us to pick up his pistol.”

Mona nodded and checked her computer.

“Conrad will definitely find a place to stop the bleeding first, but the things in a first-aid kit obviously can’t treat gunshot wounds, so there’s a high chance that he’ll go to a private clinic in town.”

“That’s right.”

Roan stepped on the accelerator, and the SUV instantly sped off.

Scarsdale Town was not big, and there were only two private hospitals. The two of them quickly arrived at the nearest clinic.

“Hello, FBI here.”

Mona and the fully armed Roan walked into the clinic. Roan took out his golden FBI badge and waved it in front of the pretty lady at the clinic’s front desk.

“Did you receive any patients with left hand injuries this afternoon?”

“Uh, no.”

The beautiful girl was a little stunned, but she quickly reacted and replied, “The clinic only received a girl with a bruise on her back this afternoon.”

Roan and Mona looked at each other and guessed who the girl the front desk was referring too. Just as they were about to continue asking, the door to the front desk suddenly opened. A middle-aged white doctor in a white coat walked out holding the hand of a middle-aged white woman with a ruddy face and a lazy aura.

“…”

Roan and Mona looked at each other. They were both adults, so they could tell at a glance what the other two had just experienced.

“See you the day after tomorrow, Dr. Tim.”

The white woman, who was in a good mood, glanced at Roan and Mona and ignored them. She blew a kiss to the doctor and turned around to walk to the clinic door with her pet dog.

“See you the day after tomorrow, Ms. Yolanthe.”

Tim, who was wearing a white coat, nodded without changing his expression. After the woman left, he turned his gaze to Roan and asked with a smile, “Why are the two inspectors here?”

Roan did not care about this trivial matter and directly asked,”

“Did anything strange happen in your clinic this afternoon, such as losing medicine or the malfunction of the camera?”

“No, everything in our clinic is normal.”

Dr. Tim shook his head and said that his clinic had never installed a camera for the privacy of its customers.

“…”

‘It’s so that you can have an affair!’

Roan was speechless. Just as he was about to ask her a few more questions, he suddenly heard Lady Yolanthe’s scream from outside.

“Where’s my car? Who stole my car? Damn it, I want to kill that car thief!”

Hearing the shout, Mona rushed out and asked the furious Ms. Yolanthe, “Ma ‘am, when did you come to the clinic?”

“Forty minutes ago.”

Madam Yolanthe, who was holding her pet dog, panicked. She grabbed Mona’s arm and shook it hard.

“Hurry up and find my car! My husband is a Yale Senator! I have to find the car! Otherwise, I’m finished!”

“…”

Hearing that the woman had arrived at the clinic forty minutes ago, Roan instantly thought of something. He hurriedly turned to the clinic owner and asked, “Doctor, bring me to your clinic’s pharmacy now and see if anything is missing!”

“No need to look, Mr. Inspector.”

Dr. Tim looked even more panicked than Ms. Yolanthe.

“I lost the key to the pharmacy!”

“F*ck!”

He had been playing with Ms. Yolanthe in the clinic for forty minutes. Who knew when he had lost the key to the pharmacy?

Roan cursed in a low voice and rushed out of the clinic to the SUV. He did not expect Mona to be waiting for him in the passenger seat.

“Don’t worry, Roan.”

Seeing the anxiety on Roan’s face, Mona typed away on the keyboard and said calmly, “I just asked Ms. Yolanthe about the model and license plate number of the car that she lost. Then I found out that her car is the latest Cadillac.”

“So?”

Roan did not know much about cars, so he did not understand what Mona meant.

“For the safety of our customers, the latest Cadillac has installed a satellite positioning system in every car.”

Mona smiled calmly. Her fingers danced as a bunch of codes that Roan could not understand popped up on the computer. A few seconds later, Mona tapped on the space, and a flashing red dot appeared on the map.

“This is…On the road north of Scarsdale Town.”

Mona showed the computer screen to Roan and smiled.

“Looks like the other party hasn’t run far.”

“I love you so much, Mona! Pulling you into my team was the best f*cking thing I did!”

Roan laughed and turned the steering wheel. He stepped on the accelerator and drove the SUV in the direction of the red dot on the map.
