133- Have we been deceived?

Alexander shook his head, then picked up the drawing paper and pencil to begin drawing the face he imagined

It was the face of a middle-aged man with a bald head and a short mustache

“This is our man...” Alexander placed the drawing on the table

" this!." Detective Kelly looked at the painting with her mouth open

"Hmm? Were you able to discover anything?" Jeff asked when he noticed her unusual behavior

" Yes..."

“What did you discover?” Jeff took off his glasses and stared at Kelly

“I know now that Alexander is good at drawing. I can’t believe a teenage boy surpassed me in drawing...” Kelly grabbed her head and began shaking it forcefully left and right.

“...” Alexander stared at Kelly in amazement and then quickly returned his gaze to Jeff

Jeff put on his glasses and hung his head down in shame

“No, I cannot bear this insult. I will enroll in courses to learn drawing after we finish this mission.” Kelly started walking around the room, mumbling random words

Alexander brought his face closer to Jeff's and whispered, making sure Kelly couldn't hear him. “Does she always act like this?”

Jeff whispered with reddened cheeks. "She may be a little strange, but she is one of the best investigators we have."

Alexander quickly straightened his back and stared at Jeff in shock with a look that said 'Is this a joke?'

Kelly returned to her seat. “Okay, we can continue.”

Jeff picked up the drawing and stared at it for a moment. “Do you remember any personal information about him?”

"He was not someone who liked to talk much..."

Jeff continued his questions. “Where did he live?”

"South of Cairn, on Brownsville Street."

Jeff wrote something in a small notebook and then put it in his suit pocket. After he finished his work, he got up from his seat. "Our investigation ends here. We will confirm this man's background, but we may come back at any moment to get some answers from you."

"I am ready to cooperate with the government at any moment." Alexander got up and shook Jeff's hand

The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.

Didn't you say you didn't trust the government...Jeff was at a loss for words

Jeff headed towards the door, but stopped when he noticed that Kelly was still standing in front of Alexander

“Mr. Alexander.” It was clear that Kelly was having a difficult time speaking up for what she wanted. In the end, she mustered up the courage and screamed. “Can you teach me how to draw?”

"..." Alexander's mouth opened, but he did not know what to say

He looked towards Jeff, desperate to find an escape from this strange woman

Jeff hit his forehead, then grabbed Kelly by the elbow and pulled her with him

"..." Alexander stared at the detectives' back

He felt that the government did not take this investigation seriously so they sent such incompetent investigators

This made him feel relatively relieved. They would certainly be busy investigating that Winston Hitler for a while, giving him more time to smuggle money out of the country.

------------------

“What do you think about what Alexander said?” Jeff looked at the paper that contained a drawing of the face of the man they were going to search for

"Hmm, I don't know, but he might be lying." Kelly put her hands in her pockets

“Do you mean that there is no man named Winston Hitler? In this case, where did he get this recipe from?”

“I said it was just a possibility.” Kelly shrugged. “There may actually be such a man, all we have to do is go to Cairn City and investigate him.”

Jeff folded the paper and put it in his pocket. “Investigating a member of the Ford family is very difficult and is like walking on a thin layer of ice. But interrogating an ordinary baker who does not have a strong background will certainly be easier and we will be able to put pressure on him with some means.”

“For example, we will threaten him that we will beat him until his face swells.” Kelly showed an evil smile

"No...I don't mean that." Jeff felt like his colleague would actually do this if he didn't stop her

Kelly stopped walking and looked out the window. Jeff looked at her confused. " what are you looking at."

Kelly jumped out the window, causing Jeff to panic. “Kelly!”

Kelly landed on the ground and started running towards the purple-haired woman

Jeff placed his hand on his forehead. “Not again...” he jumped after her to stop her from causing a new problem

“Christina!” Kelly jumped towards Christina for a hug and buried her face in Christina's abundant chest

"Kelly." Christina smiled and hugged Kelly in return, and after they finished the intimate encounter, Christina looked at Kelly and Jeff with confusion. “Mr. Jeff, too! I heard that some government agents were coming to the academy, but I didn’t know why.”

“We are here to investigate something. I apologize, Miss Christina, but we cannot reveal this information.” Jeff answered her

Kelly smiled playfully. "We're here to investigate Alexander Ford about the sweets he made."

“Kelly!” Jeff shouted and looked at Kelly with angry eyes

Kelly stuck out her tongue and said. “I trust Christina. She will not leak any information about our mission.”

Christina stroked Kelly's head lightly. "However, you shouldn't say such information carelessly. What if anyone accidentally heard this information."

"Aww..." Kelly let out a slight moan and tried to defend herself. “If there is someone who is eavesdropping on us, I will beat him until he loses his memory.”

“…” The corners of Christina’s mouth twitched

Everyone has grown up and become mature adults, but the Kelly in front of her is the same Kelly from their academic days

“By the way, where is principal Frederic? Isn’t he supposed to come and greet us?”

“This...” Christina hesitated to answer

In fact, Frederic locked himself inside his room and told her that he would not meet Kelly no matter what happened

Kelly was the type of student who caused trouble wherever she went. As the most talented person of her generation, Frederic had to clean up the mess she made every time

After Kelly graduated from the academy, Frederic held a huge celebration and even Kelly was present at that party

Strangers would think that Frederic held this party to celebrate his best student, and everyone was moved when they saw Frederic crying as he sent Kelly away, but only the members of the teaching staff knew that Frederic was crying with joy because he finally got rid of Kelly after four years of torment.

But he did not expect a new troublemaker to appear after a few years. The headache that was haunting Frederic returned, but in a new form this time, and he was Alexander Ford.

'Christina...I can't face Kelly and Alexander at the same time, my old heart will stop with exhaustion.' Frederic's voice was so pitiful that Christina immediately agreed to the mission of greeting Kelly and Jeff.

“Sigh...Kelly, we have to go to the airport. I booked tickets to go to Cairn City.” Jeff immediately stepped in to end this matter

He knew very well why Frederic did not come to meet them

"Okay..." Kelly nodded and said some parting words to Christina

----------------------

“Are you sure we are in the right place?” Kelly looked at the huge garden in front of her

Jeff was looking at his phone in confusion. "The map says this is Brownsville Street."

“Excuse me...” Kelly pointed to a woman who was holding a baby in her arms.

The woman was confused when she saw their uniforms, so Kelly smiled to calm her down and asked directly. “Do you know how I can get to Brownsville Street?”

“Brownsville?...” The woman was stunned for a moment, but quickly answered. “This street was removed about five years ago to build this park.”

“...” Jeff and Kelly looked at each other

Have we been deceived?
