Chapter 277: The Origin

The following morning.

At the Detective Bureau.

Deputy Director's Office.

Reid sat beside his desk, his head lowered as he examined the documents at hand, his expression somewhat stern.

"Knock, knock..."

A knock echoed from outside.

Reid removed his glasses, "Come in."

Luke pushed open the door, "Chief, you wanted to see me."

"Have a seat," Reid nodded toward the chair opposite him, "How is the investigation of the decapitated woman's case going, any progress?"

"Petrov has been uncooperative, so we've had to investigate from other angles. Through examining the communication records of the decapitated woman, we found her last contact before death. However, the person refuses to cooperate. I'm preparing to apply for a search warrant."

Reid pinched the bridge of his nose, "What's that person's name?"

"Eddie Ross, a wealthy individual. According to his account, he attended a party on the night of the incident which was attended by council members and judges."
