The Love Trap of the Ruler.
Chapter 205. The man who changed.
“Yes, therefore I asked if you guys have a team that can fix this image. Look at this guy's body. The handle was on his chest. And on the front there is a picture of red,”, said Graciella again.
“Then? The handle with black and red is of course also a lot,” Daren said again.
“I once rented a car while in America. And they gave their company logo on the head pad so they could easily see that it was their rental car and it was hard to let go. So ... what if there are rental car companies that also use things like this? Don't you feel like this picture is unusual. Usually always with cartoons or something else. But this is like a symbol? Right no?” graceilla analyzed what she was thinking.
Hearing that Daren and Stevan immediately tilted their heads trying to analyze the image shown by Graciella. So fuzzy but how could Graciella think like that?. But what Graciella incarnates directly into their brains.
“The car used a fake license plate. An assassin, too, must have thought of a way to be undetectable. If I were him, I would have thought of hiring a mobi to launch my attack. That's the easiest way not to be tracked by the police,” Graciella said.
Daren and Stevan glanced at each other and Daren quickly nodded along with Stevan.
“It was a jeep wrangler car in 2018, a car that is rarely used as a rental car. But we can find these jeep rental places and -- Violah, there are 5 car rental places spread in this country,”, said Daren who uses search engines in particular.
“I will ask my team to improve the quality of this picture. Trying to clarify it. If I had, I would have given it to you. I'll also ask my men to come to the place immediately so you don't have to come to him one by one. If you have got a place that matches the criteria, then I will inform you. Take it easy, I will not take your part,” said Stevan slightly smiling looking at Graciella and also Daren staring at her.
“Can I come to TKP?” graciella asked Stevan.
“Can only. I can arrange it. When do you want to go?” ask Stevan.
“Of course as soon as possible. What if this afternoon?” ask Graciella.
“Can only. But we have to have a meeting with Antony first. He's already in the waiting room" Daren said, showing a message from his assistant.
“Alright,” says Graciella.
“I'll wait here,” said Stevan. However, even though he worked with Graciella and Daren, he was not in their private investigation team. Participating in the meeting will make their clients uncomfortable.
Daren and Graciella soon prepare to meet Antony who is already waiting for them. Upon entering the room, Graciella sees a different-looking Antony figure than she had ever known before. Not because of his appearance which now looks more mature due to the haircut that he combed back. But the aura obtained by Graciella was different. Feels unfriendly.
“Mr Antony,” said Daren who immediately reached out to Antony who immediately greeted him with a thin smile. Although thin dimples it immediately looks adorn his cheeks.
Antony immediately seemed to smile wider when he saw Graciella who also only returned with a smile. Although Graciella did not know this man very well, several times seeing it made Graciella can feel the immediate change of the man. Men who are usually always friendly and also seem so warm friendly now look more silent and serious. There was quite a gripping aura from the look of his eyes that looked flat and also his smile that somehow even looks sneaky to Graciella. Graciella is really like just meeting this guy.
“Then how?” ask Antony. His tone of voice seemed to change. Flat and no longer friendly.
Antony did not answer. He only observed Daren for a moment. “Good.” Not many words came out of his mouth.
“Can I ask?” ask Graciella suddenly. Daren looked straight at Graciella.
“Sure, What is Miss Graceilla?” ask Antony. Graceilla was uncomfortable with Antony's tone.
Graciella recalled how a very disappointed tone came out of this man as she broke the news of her marriage. Was it that disappointment that completely changed this man?
“You have no relation whatsoever in this case, but why do you really want us to reveal this case?” ask Graciella.
Antony just tilted his head a little. Looking at Graciella with the corner of her eyes as if analyzing. He played a little bit of his lips then shortly silenced his bland smile. Antony then straightened up and returned to look at Graciella seriously.
“Nona Graciella. You're a smart woman. I don't need to say exactly what my purpose is to ask you to solve this case. But I'm sure, the results will be equally beneficial for us. You will be able to reveal who has dared to slander your husband and I get what I need now. You guys don't have to be afraid. I will facilitate all your needs for this investigation. Even I will guarantee Miss Graciella's safety if you feel threatened,” Antony said coldly.
Daren and Graciella looked at each other. The murder of Robert Kim is a big news story. If they could really reveal it then the electability of Antony would immediately rise.
“Alright, we will strive to solve this case.” Daren said.
“Good if so. I'm just here to make sure that you actually accept my request. If you can tell me about the development of this case.” said Antony immediately stood up from his seat. Pulling his suit to make it look more presentable but his face that used to be filled with laughter and smiles no longer showed that. Flat.
“Ya, well, I'll tell you about all the development of this case,” said Daren immediately opened the door for Antony.
"I hope you can solve this case quickly. It must be very uncomfortable to sleep with the thought of people who have killed let alone slander the people closest to us. We don't know what else he can do to our family, do we?" antony said again while staring coldly. Graciella doesn't know what she means? whether he's sympathetic with Graciella or threatening Graciella. But for sure, Graciella felt uncomfortable and felt a little sorry for Antony's change.
“Antony," call Graciella who immediately stops Antony's move.
“Yes?" ask Antony.
“Sorry I couldn't come to your wedding that time,” Graciella said. Not that Antony invited her but Graciella felt bad about coming to her wedding. Because after all, his stupid friend had already broken this man's heart.
Antony raised the corner of his lips to become a sly smile. “Tak problems. It's just that if you meet him. Better ask him to keep running.”
Graciella was speechless listening to Antony's cold, threatening words. Why does Graciella now feel Laura has woken up a sleeping lion. His foolish friend had already turned such a kind man into one who was slowly feeling terrible.
