Chapter 298 Can You Shut Up?

Catherine’s answer stunned the police officer once again. He stared at her and asked in disbelief, “You? Are you kidding? You fought a dozen adult men alone?

“Miss Swann, you are at the police station. Please be serious. Don’t try to cover for someone. And don’t try to tell a lie because every lie will be exposed in front of evidence.”

As he said, the officer turned to glance at Branden. In his opinion, it was impossible for a girl like Catherine to fight with more than ten strong young men alone. Covering for someone was the only possibility.

Catherine couldn’t be bothered to explain. She had told the truth and didn’t care whether the police would believe her. If she could, she might shrug and tell them, “Believe it or not.”

Paxton came well-prepared. He handed the evidence he had found to the police officer.

“The surveillance camera at the tunnel entrance recorded what had happened at the scene. This is the surveillance footage. It can prove that Miss Swann didn’t lie. The dozens of criminals were the first to attack Miss Swann, and Miss Swann just defended herself.”

The lawyer wasn’t convinced and refuted, “Things are still under investigation. How can you address my clients as ‘criminals’? Mind your words, or I will accuse you of slandering my clients.”

Paxton glanced at the lawyer, his eyes filled with displeasure and warning. ” Can you shut up? Did the police officer allow you to speak? It doesn’t matter if you want to sue me. Just do it at any time after we leave the police station.”

Paxton thought in disdain, “He wants to sue me? How ridiculous. Isn’t he afraid of ruining his reputation? What a joke.”

The lawyer finally shut up in the face of Paxton’s overbearing attitude. He could only stare at Paxton silently with dissatisfaction.

He was waiting to see what Paxton had found out. Paxton took photos he had just received from the file bag and put them in front of the police officer.

“These are some photos of the scene. We found a lot of nails in the tunnel. They were the same as the ones that broke the tires of Miss Swann’s car.

“Please look at this one. It is a screenshot of the surveillance video. In it, the suspects were intentionally placing the nails in the tunnel.

“According to the photos, we have good reason to be suspicious. The suspects intended to murder Miss Swann but failed, so they decided to kidnap her instead.”

When the lawyer saw the photos, his face changed dramatically. He was informed that the mastermind had destroyed the surveillance footage, or he wouldn’t have accepted the case. He had never thought that Paxton would find any evidence that would work in Catherine’s favor.

This way, he would be at a disadvantage instead. The lawyer secretly exchanged a glance with his assistant at the door. The assistant received his order and hurriedly strode out.

Branden, who sat aside and seemed bored, noticed the lawyer’s trick.

He didn’t take it seriously.

Anyway, Catherine was hurt in front of him, and no one would be able to escape. No matter what tricks they played, Branden would not care. The police officer was shocked to see the evidence provided by Paxton. He turned to look at Catherine in surprise.

He didn’t expect a thin girl like her to be so ruthless while fighting. The police officer was known for his kickboxing skills in the police academy. However, when he watched the video of Catherine fighting, he was still amazed by her.

If he was not on duty, he would have called Catherine “master” and begged her to teach him her skillful strikes.

The proof was irrefutable, and the case thus turned from a normal affray into one involving murder and kidnapping. The police officer sorted the evidence and spoke solemnly to Catherine and the others.

“Since it is not a simple case, I’d like to report it to my superior. Please wait.” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

As a young police officer, he had the right to handle regular street fights. However, a murder and kidnapping case was beyond his power and should be handled by the criminal police.

Catherine and the others didn’t have objections and watched as the police officer left. Ten minutes later, another police officer appeared.

He looked older and more sophisticated than the young officer earlier. Moreover, he seemed more overbearing and showed little respect to Catherine and the others.

As soon as he stepped in, he roared, “Be quiet! This is a police station. No matter what happens, you have to cooperate with the police!”

With that, the officer swept over Catherine in an unfriendly way. Also, the lawyer’s aggressiveness instantly gave way to flattery. He put on a smile and began to flatter the officer.

“Captain Zeld, you are finally here. Everyone knows you are a professional in a criminal investigation. You have to seek justice for us!”

Kason Zeld gazed at the lawyer with a straight face, but from his eyes, one could tell that he was pleased by the lawyer’s flattery.

Seeing that something was not going well, Paxton asked for Branden’s instructions and walked aside quietly to make a call. Kason walked to Catherine, looking serious and cold.

“I heard that you had gotten someone badly injured. Haven’t you watched the news recently? Don’t you know about the crackdown on violent crime? How can you be so unscrupulous?”

Catherine disliked being questioned for no reason. She ignored Kason and didn’t say a word.  She thought Kason was not worthy of her attention.

The lawyer took the chance to slander Catherine and stir up the trouble. Captain Zeld, she didn’t cooperate with the officers at all. The facts of the case are clear. My clients were all sent to the hospital for treatment. I think you should arrest her and then take her to court after the investigation.”

He didn’t dare to go too far because of the evidence Paxton prepared. Many things could be done behind the scenes, and he didn’t need to expose his plans openly.

Catherine didn’t cast a single glance at Kason, and Kason thus believed that she was going against the law on purpose.

He warned, “Miss, I’d like to remind you. You are in the police station and must cooperate with the relevant investigation. Or else, I will resort to enforcement measures and accuse you of obstructing law enforcement.”

Catherine didn’t respond to him. She leaned against the chair casually with a cold face. Her behavior and attitude could not be more provocative.

Kason had worked as a police officer for years and had seen many offenders. Even so, Catherine’s composure was still beyond his imagination.

He planned to suppress Catherine in terms of aura. Unexpectedly, Paxton went back and said, “Wait…”

Kason squinted at Paxton. “Who are you?”

Paxton smiled coldly. “I’m Miss Swann’s assistant. Nice to see you.”

“An assistant?” Before Kason could say it out loud, his phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, he immediately picked up the phone, his face changing slightly. After a while, his face became strange and even turned a little pale.
