Boyce did not confess to him that he had accompanied Loredana to go out. Loredana looked for him, meaning that she trusted him. Without Loredana’ permission, he could not tell him.
He lowered his head and looked at the ground. There was a small stone. He stepped on it with his foot, playing it under his foot, “I come to tell you that I have found out the person who murdered Maria, but I didn’t touch her, what shall I do now?”
Cormac spoke in a light tone, “You’ve done something wrong?”
“Huh?” Boyce looked up blankly, “I… what did I do?”
He, what did he find out?
Cormac laughed lightly, “Look at you, your face is pale, I’m just kidding, why are you so agitated?”
Boyce touched his nose, “I’m not agitated, I just think that what you said is inexplicable.”
Cormac laughed but did not say anything. He walked towards the car, “Let’s go.”
“Go where?” Boyce was once again at a loss.
“You have found a clue, don’t you keep investigating?” He pressed the unlock button. The unlock light of the car flashed. He opened the door and got into the car. Boyce quickly got on to the passenger seat. “If we arrest someone rashly, will we alert the enemy?” Boyce was worried, being able to ask the person in the jail to commit a crime was not something ordinary people could do.
Cormac looked at him, “If you don’t alert the enemy, will she come out?”
Boyce thought about it, “I’ll ask someone to get the woman out.”
“The murderer is a woman?” Cormac frowned.
Boyce nodded, “We are too open, we failed to interrogate and the person was killed.”
Boyce had done a lot of things all those years. Although he did not get promoted much, he had trained many people under him.
Cormac did not say anything. It seemed to be tacit approval.
Boyce took out his mobile phone and made a call. He instructed the person in the call and finally said, “As soon as possible. I will be there soon.”
He hung up the phone after he heard a response from another side.
He leaned back in his chair with a relaxed look, “Did you really drink too much yesterday?”
Testing him?
Cormac turned his head to look at him and gave him an ambiguous answer, “What do you think?”
Boyce was speechless.
“I almost die because of you and Loredana.” Boyce was not stupid. Cormac did not seem like he did not know anything judging from his reaction.
“That’s right, you’re just drunk, not a pig, can’t become stupid.” Boyce deliberately insinuated. He was in a difficult position.
He could not say the truth and had to suffer Cormac’s enigma.
Did he think he was a monkey and played with him?
Who had he provoked?
“As you get older, your tolerance gets lesser.” At this moment, the car stopped and Cormac got down, followed by Boyce.
They were at the back door of the jail of City B. The big iron door was high and wide. On the right side, there was a small door which was opened. Usually, the main door was not opened. They went in and went out through the small door only. Boyce walked in front to lead the way. Cormac believed in his working capability.
Boyce was familiar with the situation inside. He said to the guard at the door, “I’m here to investigate on a prisoner.” The guard knew what Boyce’s identity was as he went there occasionally, he did not ask too many extra questions. Cormac walked beside him and looked at him, “Boyce, please find a woman.”
Boyce suddenly stopped walking and looked at Cormac.
“You … what did you say? No, I mean what do you mean by that?” He did not know why he felt uncomfortable when he heard that.
Cormac did not stop walking. He continued to stride.
Hey.
Boyce quickly followed him and stopped him, “Tell me, what do you mean?”
Cormac frowned and looked at Boyce who was impatient, “Look at your nervous look, is it similar to menopause?”
Boyce was speechless.
Cormac walked past Boyce and walked far away. Boyce was still standing in the original place. Cormac stopped walking and looked at Boyce, “Are you going to stand there all the time?” Boyce coughed lightly and walked briskly. He had calmed down considerably, “I become like this all because of you and Loredana.”
Loredana knew very well that he was Cormac’s buddy, yet she still told him everything.
The worst part was that he knew everything but could not say anything.
He was serious now and said, “However, she really treats you very well. She is considerate towards you. She went and looked for Charles because of you.”
This was so obvious that even if he did not say anything, Cormac did know it.
Cormac gently closed his eyes, hiding the strange emotions that poured out from underneath his eyes for a moment.
When Loredana was close to Victoria but refused to confess, he knew that most of it had to do with him.
He did not want to probe into it.
This time, Charles appeared and he confirmed it.
Victoria — was a knot that he had been holding on to for over twenty years. It was like a thorn in his heart.
But for now…
He knew, but he did not want to face the truth.
He did not know how to face the contradictions and complexities within him.
No words could describe his feelings. It was painful. It was a wound that was difficult to tell.
That night, the water that fell on Loredana’ face was a sadness that he could not say.
Boyce seemed to be mentally mulling over Cormac’s words. He suddenly said, “You introduce me a girlfriend, okay?”
At his age, it seemed abnormal that he did not even have a girlfriend.
Cormac looked at him askance, “I thought you like me.”
Huh?
