Chapter 150: The Reunion VIII
Outside the Octagon, Queen Mary University
Davies stood beside Levi, who was nursing his jaw by the ambulance with an ice pack. He dare not ask what happened; he could already tell. He had witnessed her throw a punch at the blond Irishman after all, and he did not dare even greet her, seeing as she was fuming. While the psychologist was bent over, holding his bleeding lip 10 minutes before.
The Detective inspector turned to the slicked blond with his hand in his coat pockets. "I know it’s you," he said as the two of them watched in a distance as David Fletcher was taken into custody for possession of illegal drugs after the bomb-sniffing dogs detected it on him on his way to exit the premises during evacuation. His arrest and bail process will give them enough time to process both the search warrant and an arrest warrant for the murder of Olivia-rose and Evelyn. If the same drug is found in his property, it will not only support his involvement with their deaths but also add another criminal charge on his already long list.
"Yeah," Levi confirmed, earning a groan from the older gentleman; he would have preferred it if the slicked blond denied the accusation. At least he could lie to himself by taking the man’s word blindly.
Levi turned to look at the shorter man, still sporting his magnificent black Tuxedo. "Well, will ya?" he challenged, confident that the man would not say a word of it. That, yes, it was he who anonymously called the authorities, threatening that he left a bomb and will blow up the location if his demands were not met. The emergency services took it seriously enough to send the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team to the said location. Better safe than sorry.
He did just get him a killer/drug dealer (even though he’s a small fry) in a silver platter, didn’t he? "Dr. Forrest, the Pathologist, by the way, eliminated that both deaths are accidental based on the abnormal amount of the drug found in their interstitial tissues." Davies shared, it meant that someone pushed so much of it in their system that the veins collapsed, fluid entering the interstitial tissues is painful, causing it to bulge due to the drug pooling around the area.
Ergo, not self-inflicted.
The Irishman scoffed, "Better late than never, I guess." he said, taking the ice pack away from his face and throwing it on the ambulance gurney. "Carol?" he asked.
"I had Palmer in charge of taking her official statement, and my team is working double time on getting a search warrant to his property." "I take it you’ll make sure her videos are secure?" Levi clarified, making sure he kept his words at least. "I’ll take care of it" Davies assured he knew too well many opposing politicians would pay big bucks for it. Levi nodded satisfied, "Happy birthday, Davies." he said, walking away.
