Chapter 131
It sparked a heated discussion among the Team Five members.
“I wouldn’t say so.”
“Scarface is a notorious killer. Maybe his enemies got him finally,”
“Scarface is in a gang. It is either him killing someone, or someone killing him. There’s no other way out for him.”
Then, Fatty Frank saw Andrius walking into the office. He grinned and went over to him. “Boss, did you hear about Scarface?”
Andrius nodded. “I heard. What’s up with him?”
Fatty Frank sized up Andrius carefully and asked, “If you were to fight him, what are the odds?”
Odds?
There were no odds to consider at all. Scarface would meet his maker right away.
As soon as Fatty Frank’s words subsided, the others in the office surrounded Andrius, curious about his answer.
Andrius glanced at them. Before he could say a word, he heard a commotion from outside the office.
“Andrius Moonshade! Where are you?!”
It was Noelle with her team of police officers.
After going through the surveillance footage last night, she had a hunch that the culprit was Andrius, and it highly resembled him as well.
Therefore, she led her team to New Moon Corporation.
Luna heard the commotion as well. She brought her team outside together with Andrius to find out what happened. She had no idea what could have happened, but when she saw a group of officers at her entrance, she had a feeling that things might not be good.
She went up to Noelle and asked, “Captain Freely, what is this visit about?”
Noelle looked at Andrius and said sternly, “I suspect… that this man here is related to a murder that happened last night. I spotted a figure that highly resembled him.”
When her words echoed across the lobby, every employee of New Moon Corporation was shaken.
Fatty Frank and those from Team Five were astonished and shocked. They were just asking Andrius about the odds of him winning against Scarface in a fight, and now
Noelle came to take him away.
“Captain Freely.” Luna had a glance at Andrius and then explained, “This must be some kind of mistake. The employees of our company are all good citizens.
“Andrius… might be a little boorish, but he’s nothing compared to the notorious criminal, Scarface. Besides, there’s no way he would win in a fight.”
Athena, who was behind Luna, had an extra glance at Andrius. She knew that Andrius was hiding his skills, but she would never turn him over to Noelle now.
“Andrius, say something!” Luna signaled him with her eyes and added, “Tell Captain Freely what you did last night. Tell her that you didn’t kill Scarface.”
Noelle looked at Andrius with a stern glare.
Andrius said honestly, “Last night, I was having dinner with Dr. Artemis and his granddaughter, Lyra.”
“Is that so?”
The suspicion in Noelle’s widened eyes was brazen. She pulled her phone out and dialed Dr. Artemis‘ number to verify Andrius‘ claims.
“Is this Dr. Artemis‘ clinic? I am Noelle Freely of the local police department. I am trying to verify Andrius Moonshade’s claims. This is related to a murder, so please answer honestly. Dr. Artemis, last night, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m., what were you doing and who were you with?”
Dr. Artemis answered honestly, “I was having dinner with Andrius and my
granddaughter, Lyra.”
The truth had been revealed.
Noelle was speechless.
“Captain Freely, I told you. There’s no way Andrius is the killer.”
Luna’s expression looked less frosty after the truth was revealed.
Noelle was silenced. She had one last glance at Andrius, seemingly a stern warning for him to stay out of trouble, before she brought her men away.
“Let’s go.”
“Andrius, come here.”
After Noelle left with her team, Luna brought Andrius to her office and asked him with a straight face, “Andrius, tell me the truth. Are you seeing Lyra? Do you like her?”
