Chester was quickly brought in by Nick. Standing a few steps away from Kevin, he watched him warily, "Di- director Kevin, you asked for me?"
Although he often appeared near Nick as they worked on Kevin's commands, he had never reported directly to the director before.
When he heard that Director Kevin asked for him, he immediately recalled if he had done something wrong lately that the director wanted to deal with him personally.
But on second thought, even if he did something wrong, he only needed to report to Nick. There was no need for the director to step in.
"Where were you and what were you doing on the night of Herbert Ken's incident?" Kevin appeared calm, but his looks could definitely kill.
"I... I was hanging out with Maynard and Raymond." Under Kevin's gaze, Chester felt like he was standing in a torture chamber. Even though he remembered clearly what he was doing that night, he stammered to say it.
"Nick, call in the other two as well." Kevin gave the orders to Nick, but his eyes were still fixed on Chester.
"Got it." Nick didn't understand why the director was suddenly inspecting his staff, but he still did as he was told.
Maynard and Raymond gave the same answer. On the night of Herbert Ken's incident, they were hanging out together and playing cards.
They remembered it very clearly because they were playing very happy when they received the call about Herbert.
When they heard the news, they were shaken to the core. That was a man their superior asked them to protect well. Now that something happened to him... even though they weren't on duty that night, they were rather concerned.
Since the three suspects said the same thing, there were only two possibilities. One, they tallied their alibis; or two, they were indeed playing cards that night.
Kevin had been working hard since young, and he had seen countless people before. He had his own way of judging someone. He could easily tell whether the three of them were telling the truth.
He glanced around the three, and his gaze fell on Chester again, "Who do you have in your family?"
Chester replied honestly, "There's my father, mother, and an elder sister."
Kevin frowned, "No one else?"
Chester wiped his sweat. He thought about it, and added, "These are the people currently in my family... I used to have a twin brother, but he was kidnapped at a young age. We don't even know if he's alive now."
A twin brother!
Then it was quite easy to explain why 'Chester' appeared at George's house although he didn't commit the crime.
Sending someone who looked identical to Kevin's staff to kidnap Herbert, so that was an obvious way to push the blame to him.
Now, the only mystery left was why Herbert told George those things before he died.
Kevin smiled slightly, then he let out a cold laugh, "Dead or alive, I want you to find out about your brother no matter what."
"Director, I'm afraid that would be impossible," Chester replied.
His family had been searching for him for over twenty years, and they could not find any clues. They didn't have any lead now, so how was he supposed to look for him?
Nick gave Chester a glare, and spoke up immediately, "Director, I'll arrange more staff to look for him."
