Chapter 537: Back to work
"I will give you as much help as you will need. Just tell me when you need it." He offered.
She nodded and thought about it. "I will probably need a small team. I’ll go through the details and tell you who I need."
He approved of it, so she got to her office and started reading all the articles she could find about the news. It was not too detailed but it explained that not only did the rockstar, Storm, traffic drugs, but that he also heavily abused them and often wrote songs under their influence.
She scoffed when she read the criticism and insults he had faced when this detail was revealed. It was wrong of him to traffic drugs if he did do such a thing but what was wrong with writing under the influence of drugs? She was not saying that was right either but that didn’t erase the fact that his songs were still great nonetheless. It was hypocritical of the people who loved his songs and were almost obsessed with them to suddenly act like they hated them just because they were written when he was drunk or high.
She noted down the details and read through them at least five times before she found a loophole. He had been married for two years and had supposedly been a drug addict for at least five years. Why did his wife marry a drug addict if she was so strongly against it?
She looked the woman up. Annie Tian. She had died young—she would have turned twenty-five in two months. Her family information was not revealed but when Lanni investigated further, she found that Annie had grown up in an orphanage and had no family. Not even distant relatives—at least none that she knew of. There was no information about her late parents either.
When she saw what kind of case she was dealing with, she decided on her team. She called over Lin since she trusted her, a young man called Star who was one of the agency’s expert investigators and a young woman called Skylar. She printed the information she had written and gave them each a copy.
"Let’s check the reports one at a time. Skylar, check for anything Storm did that makes him a scumbag or suggests that he was cheating on his wife." She instructed as she gave Skylar her copy of the articles.
The latter was confused. "Why do we need to do that? There is already enough evidence. Didn’t you see the pictures that were taken of Storm and other women in compromising positions?"
