Chapter 413 Chapter 413 Suspect

He took it down in his notepad to make a report on the case. Now the question arises, who wanted to kill Nexus?

He read the files about Nexus in Martin's office. Nexus was known to be a rookie alchemist of an unknown origin. There were several encounters if written in the file but none of them were offensive or declared to be offensive in any way.

Even the people of town called him a kind and generous person who had helped them a lot without getting anything in return.

So far, there was no complaint about him and any action noticed from his side which might gain him an enemy.

He never had any feud with any person in the town, it was hard to believe if he had one with the police department. There was nothing mentioned about his affairs with the government as well. His history seemed clean with paper.

Again, his investigation led him nowhere. Tom got stuck with the case and a lack of clues would make it impossible to solve this case.

Tom sighed deeply and inhaled. He turned pages of his report on the case. Going back through everything in the case if he had missed anything important. Now the case got frozen, his investigation stalled.

For the time being, he couldn't do much till the coroner's report came out. He returned to his home and put the papers down before heading for bed. This entire investigation depends on the report, and Tom had to wait patiently.

Mary Kay was sitting in her room, deeply indulging in the papers he had her gaze on. Wrinkles appeared on her forehead, indicating she was thinking about an important matter.

Her fingers tapped on the wooden table while other hands went for the cup of tea placed in the saucer. Taking a sip of her tea, she put down the papers she just read and stroked her temples.

Apart from the night of the attempt at Nexus's assassination, Mary gathered information about Nexus and his meeting with other people to find out the murderer.

"Come in." Mary permitted Angel, and she entered the chamber.

The tapping of Angel's heels on the marble floor gave another episode of a headache to Mary, but to gather information from her, she passed a faint smile and looked at her with her gaze.

"Lady called me to her chambers. The issue must be sensitive! Right?" Angel asked Mary.

"You can say so. But if you didn't behave in my territory, I can punish you for it." Mary warned her, which made Angel shut her mouth immediately.

"So, why did you call me here?" Angel asked while looking at the expensive furniture and beautiful interior of the chamber.

"I need some information about Mike. My butler informed me that Mike left the celebration in the middle and went to the bethel looking for you. Is that true?" Mary asked in a snapping voice.

Angel was shocked but normalized her racing heartbeats.

"He was with me that night. Your butler is right." Angel calms down quickly.

Mary narrowed her gaze at Angel and asked, "Are you telling the truth?"

Angel furrowed her brows at Mary's inquiry and responded with a high-pitched voice, "Of course, he was with me that night. Why would I lie to you? I don't have a reason and I am not the type that bites the hand who feeds her." Angel's response relaxed Mary, but she wasn't satisfied with the information she got.

Angel was surprised by Mary's sudden change of behavior. She was a rude woman and everyone knew about it but Mary seemed stressed and zoning out, staring into empty spaces. Angel assumed Mary wasn't feeling well and random thoughts were running in her mind. Hoping the interrogation ended, she turned her heels to leave.

"Did I tell you to leave, Angel?" Mary snarled at her and Angel dropped her shoulders down while facing her again.

"No! I wasn't leaving. I just wanted to admire this beautiful place, not sure when I will visit again."n/)o.)v.(e.(l-)b-)I-(n
