Chapter 307 Bombarding Them with Questions
I became cold and arrogant. While I was nervous during their first visit, I also felt resentful this time. The cops‘ attitudes, expressions, and tone annoyed me.
I’m curious, officers. What exactly are you investigating? Although I’m not a professional, I know you’ve missed some crucial questions, I don’t know if you intentionally avoided asking them or if you already have the answers,” I spoke with skepticism.
