Lauren shook her head and forced a smile.

“I am fine. Did you save the children?”

Franklin nodded. “Don’t worry. They were rescued without a hitch.”

Lauren thought that this was probably the bad news that Irene wanted to tell the rest.

Before they came, Franklin had already explained the specific situation to the police officers, so the police officers did not ask any more questions. After handcuffing the three people, they brought them to the police station.

Franklin, Quinn and Lauren were also going to the police station to make a statement.

As the seats inside the police cars were insufficient for everyone and Franklin was also very familiar with the police, they allowed Franklin and his siblings to get to the police station themselves.

Lauren and Quinn sat in the back row, while Franklin sat in the passenger seat together with Ben the driver.

When Ben saw Lauren, although he had a lot of questions to ask, he kept them to himself for the time being.

Ben followed the police car in front.

Franklin took out a lunch box from nowhere and handed it to Lauren.

Lauren took the lunch box. It was still warm.

“You must have been hungry for the past two days, right?”

Lauren pursed her lips. Compared to when she was in the room just now, she was not as determined and tenacious now. Now, she had become a child again.

“I’m not just hungry. I’m starving. I feel like I’ve lost a few pounds.”

Lauren’s words made the other three people in the car laugh.

They were relieved to see that Lauren was still the same as before.

Lauren opened the lunchbox. Inside were two large chicken legs with a fragrant aroma.

Lauren wiped her hands with a wet towel and picked up a chicken leg. Then, she handed the other chicken leg to Quinn.

“What? You’re actually giving me the chicken leg?” Quinn asked in disbelief, not daring to accept it.

“Didn’t I promise you before? Now that you’ve helped me complete my mission, you’ll be my partner in the future! Of course, you’ll get to share everything with me!”

Without realizing it, the few people in the car had already become her partners.

Quinn gulped. After the shock of the morning, he had already used up most of his energy. He had finished his breakfast in a rush this morning and had forgotten what he had eaten.

He was hungry now.

“Then I’ll really eat it.”

Lauren nodded.

Quinn unceremoniously picked up the other drumstick, and the two people in the back row began to chew on their own drumsticks.

Franklin smiled when he saw the two people in the back row doing the same thing.

After the case of the missing child, the two of them seemed to be more familiar with each other, and they were no longer as hostile to each other as before.

After eating the chicken drumstick, Lauren recovered some of her strength.

After arriving at the police station, Lauren and her brothers were taken to make a statement, while Pauline and Irene were brought to the interrogation room for questioning.

Lauren was the first to complete her statement. After that, she sat on a chair at the police station and waited for her brothers to come out.

However, Lauren heard a shocking piece of news before the two of them came out.

Pauline and Irene had actually met with an accident.

After hearing the news, Lauren rushed to the interrogation room, but it was already too late.

The police officer in the interrogation room stretched out his hand to check the duo’s breathing and shook his head.

“They’re already dead. There are no wounds. We might have to wait for the medical examiner to come over.”

Lauren stood on tiptoe and looked in through the glass window, she asked, “Can I go in and take a look?”

At this moment, Quinn and Franklin had already rushed over after hearing the news.

The police officers nodded.

They knew how important Lauren was to this case. This young lady was much more capable than them.

Maybe Lauren could discover some new clues.

“You can go in and take a look, but don’t touch the body. The medical examiner will be here soon.”

Therefore, Quinn and Franklin went in with Lauren. There were still police officers standing guard inside.

Irene and Pauline were lying on the chairs with their heads tilted to the side.

Apart from the fearful expression on their faces, they had died a clean death.

There were no blood stains or wounds on their bodies.

Their deaths were quick and strange.

Lauren looked around the two of them, but she did not see anything unusual.

She walked out of the interrogation room.

“If the medical examiner has found anything, please inform me.”

“No problem.”

After interacting with Lauren for a few times, these police officers were very fond of her. She was smart and polite. She would play when she was supposed to, and when she was supposed to be serious, she would be extremely serious. No one could find any fault with her.

After that, Franklin and Quinn went to finish the rest of their statements.

Of course, the three of them did not tell the police everything. It was best not to reveal Lauren’s ability to others so as to avoid any trouble.

Therefore, they only claimed that they had accidentally bumped into this “criminal gang”.

On the way back, Lauren was a little tired.

She leaned against the car window and did not speak. In her heart, she was still thinking about the mysterious deaths of Irene and Pauline..
