巡回检察组全集

Tuesday,

Anya made sure Zane was cool to spend his time with Rob. She declined his idea of sending her lunch. Without Alvin around, she didn\'t want to cause any kind of trouble for Rob.

After some nagging and lots of instructions, Anya left the beach mansion and reached the police agency.

At the Police agency,

Anya breathed a sigh of relief seeing no crowd of reporters in front of the police agency. A cop helped her carry the files to her office.

Shutting the car door, Anya stepped towards the entrance when a man approached her, "Officer Owen."

Anya paused and turned to the man who was in a business suit, "I am the Personal secretary of President Johnson." He was polite with his words and watched in respect without a hint of arrogance or overbearingness.

Anya\'s expression hardened. If Miles Johnson appears in the country, then she will have to arrest him for the interrogation. Then the case will be dragged on for more days and she couldn\'t be relieved from the job.

Alvin was certain when he mentioned that Miles Johnson won\'t return to the country. So what is this man up to by seeing her outside the police agency, rather than meeting her in the office.

The man continued, "President Johnson would like to meet you today at your convenience. I request you to take some time out." He put forward his intention.

Although she would prefer Miles Johnson to stay out of the country, stepping into the country will cause him more trouble. So she faked her nod of acceptance as she calmly asked to get the truth out, "Where is he right now?"

The secretary didn\'t discern her reaction, "President Johnson is on an island." He didn\'t reveal in case she brings the cops, "It will be our responsibility to escort you safely."

Anya couldn\'t understand Miles\'s intention. Is it a coincidence that Miles appeared as soon as Alvin left the country?

Nevertheless, Miles wasn\'t in the country. Meeting him privately was out of the question. She was able to get out smoothly from the Hard disk case because Alvin helped her with rescuing the PSR ship.

If she meets Miles Johnson, then her last case will taint her years of effort. Not just Miles, she wasn\'t allowed to meet any suspect privately other than for her job.

"My apologies." She declined straightforwardly and left without bothering to justify.

The personal secretary could do nothing. Even he wasn\'t sure why Miles wanted to meet Anya Owen. To threaten? To bribe? He didn\'t know.

He dialed Miles\'s contact number as he went to his car, "President Johnson, Officer Owen declined to meet you."

There was a pause in the line before a groggy voice sounded, [How did she behave?] Miles wasn\'t on an island but in a country where it was still dawn. If she agreed to meet, he would have then gone to the island.

Secretary was confused with the question. He recalled her composure and responded, "Officer Owen was… thoughtful." He wouldn\'t say he gave her respect, she was considerate without raising her voice or mocking him.

[How does she look?] Miles asked his next question with a bit more curiosity.

Secretary looked at the mobile screen to confirm it was Miles. It was weird Miles was interested in the appearance of a lady, "Officer Owen is elegant… She is a beautiful lady."

The call ended right after his word without dissatisfaction or hard feelings for the rejection.

Inside the police agency,

Anya saw Casper had arrived before her. Harrison stepped forward and blocked her path, "Officer Owen…"

He paused his formal tone and became a bit more respectful with a hint of a plea in his voice, "Good morning. Chairman Matthews has a very important meeting to attend. If possible, could you please consider completing the interrogation?"

Anya glanced at Casper who was clenching his teeth. She knew it was just a front to get rid of her quickly. Her eyes fell on Samuel who quickly approached her, "Officer Owen!?"

"Where is Captain David?"

"He is questioning Mr. Benton."

"Then, please complete the interrogation of Chairman Matthews," Anya instructed.

Samuel was taken by surprise. Normally, the higher officers take care of high-profile men like Casper, so he expected her to handle him. Anyway, he accepted the job, "Definitely."

Anya went to her office and Samuel pointed in another direction for Casper, "Chairman Matthews."

Casper was also a bit shocked. Harrison was amused. They thought Anya was going to trouble Casper while questioning or she might purposefully try to put a charge against him. Hence Casper had a few plans up his sleeves to keep Anya in check. Now he wasn\'t sure what to think of her or what was on her mind.

Casper sat in the interrogation room in front of Samuel. The latter didn\'t give any special treatment or questions. Casper lied as he gifted the speed boat to his men for their years of hard work for him. It matched the answer of his men. He lied he had no idea about his former employee helping Harper.

It was still like a daydream when Casper and Harrison left the agency on a low profile. They had imagined the worst but it was smooth as butter.

Samuel could only let Casper go as there was no lead against him. They had checked the call log, and message details of Casper, his secretary with those men but nothing was found.

Samuel entered Anya\'s room after a knock, "Officer Owen, do rich people give away millions worth of vehicles to their workers?" He was suspicious that Casper gave him a hand to escape.

Anya lifted her head to look at Samuel in confusion. She signaled him to give her the file. She fished the pencil and circled Secretary Harrison\'s call log, "The location of this number before it was deactivated was Coastal City." And there were many calls from that number.

Samuel\'s eyes widened.

Anya shrugged, "They must have thrown the mobile to sea." So they don\'t have any proof against them.

"Then… are we letting Casper Matthews off?" Samuel was discontent that they knew Casper had a hand in it, yet seeing him leave.

"Try your luck." Anya pointed her head towards the door.

Samuel grabbed a file from the heap and went to question Harper and Harper\'s secretary.

Harper\'s secretary had no idea who the speedboat belonged to. Whereas Harper refused to open his mouth.

Samuel returned dejectedly and complained, "Why is he saving Casper Matthews?"

Looks like Samuel was expecting cent percent completion of the case without any fault. Anya shook her head in resignation because it was impossible in large cases, especially when people try to hide it smartly.

She had tried her best to find the smallest loophole but got nothing fruitful. Why is Harper saving Casper? Anya was really curious.

After completing some of her work, she went to find Harper who was detained in the cell. "Being magnanimous." Anya mocked the man.

Harper knew what she was trying to find out. He didn\'t open his mouth in the interrogation room because he was expecting Casper to handle Anya.

Harper assumed that Casper didn\'t want Anya as his daughter-in-law hence Casper had asked him to assassinate her. If Casper is caught, then she will put Casper behind the bars, Hence he was hiding as one has to get rid of her.

"Anya Owen, don\'t be glee to destroy me. You will meet your end soon." He was sadistic to find happiness in her destruction.

Anya watched the man snickering at her. Why does Harper think that Casper will attack her?

Did Casper try to help Harper to trouble her?

Or what could be Casper\'s motive?

Harper didn\'t get to see the reaction he expected. She smiled coldly and left.

She saw Benton\'s wife, crying in the waiting room after seeing the proof and listening to Benton accept his deeds on provocation.

A part of Anya wanted to comfort the mother who lost her son, betrayed by her husband. But how could she give strength to the mother when she was the reason their family was torn down?

Benton planned to frame Anya and Alvin, thinking of them as Collins due to his greed for power. There was a possibility that Benton wouldn\'t have killed his stepson and others if they hadn\'t lied as Collins.

Wouldn\'t their family live happily moving on from the losses if Anya hadn\'t found out the truth?

Whatever might be the reason, it was an undeniable truth that she was sending Sofia\'s husband to prison and ruined her happy family by finding the truth.

Unfortunately, Anya wasn\'t guilty because Benton was a murderer. So she passed by Sofia without offering any kind words.

The Commanding Officer approached her with a wide grin and extended his hand, "Officer Owen, You are truly a gem to our department." The case they expected to solve in a month or two was solved in a week, thanks to her organized plan and excellent leading qualities.

The court session was on the next day, Commanding officer was being complimented in place of Anya. So he was delighted. "I am planning to arrange dinner this weekend. I hope you could make time and grace us with your presence." He sincerely invited her.

Anya shook his hand before flashing him a distant smile, "Thank you, Commanding Officer Brown. But my schedule is tight." She lied to refuse the dinner.

Not just her, none of the Team Ace members were allowed to attend such dinner or parties. Recalling she was no more a member of team Ace, her smile turned bitter.

The Commanding Officer assumed she must have the next mission immediately. "It\'s a pity then." His excitement faltered.

Thus, Anya\'s final wrap of the case started.  Although she wasn\'t going to attend the court, she had to monitor everything so that there wouldn\'t be a loophole.

…..

On Wednesday evening,

The news traveled quickly to the ears of Chief Justice and Jason. Chief Justice had invited Jason who was racking his brain to get justice to his ace member and bring her back.

Chief Justice placed his Coffee cup on the table and chuckled, "Looks like your plan didn\'t work, Chief Jason."

Jason hadn\'t expected Bernard to be really thick-skinned. It seems power indeed changes people. He was thinking of different plans.

Chief Justice signaled his assistant to give them privacy and voiced his well-thought scheme against Anya, "Why don\'t we target Officer Owen instead of Bernard Collins?"

Chief Justice was planning to create a gruesome situation for Anya which will influence her, more like compel her to return and accept the mission. He wasn\'t ready to lose a capable officer so easily.
