Tangled in his Obsession novel Chapter 284

Hearing this, Seraphina was instantly taken aback, and Leandro also furrowed his brows slightly.

Seraphina glanced at the frantic and desperate Herman, then at Leandro, realizing that Leandro might know who Herman's mentor was, and gently pulled on his sleeve, "Who is it?"

Leandro turned his head and looked at her. Although his expression was calm, it was not an indifferent attitude.

Herman's mentor, of course, was someone from the police department.

Back when Herman had just graduated from the police academy and was still a rookie, he started to work on cases with his mentor Naylor.

Naylor had a wealth of experience in handling cases and had a very cheerful personality. He had a good relationship with everyone in the police station and was willing to teach newbies, so Herman directly acknowledged him as his mentor after working with him for a short period of time.

From the time Herman was a junior officer to now as a team leader, their relationship was like father and son, never changed.

Now, Naylor had been promoted but still worked in the same police station as Herman, and they saw each other every day, without anything unusual ever happening.

Naylor always respected the law, despised evil, and had never even made a small mistake, let alone committing such a heinous crime that openly challenges the law and human rights.

Even if Herman suspected everyone in the world to be a criminal, he would never doubt him.

But today...

He had stayed up all night last night and rushed to the hospital this morning, waiting wholeheartedly for Maddox to wake up and give his statement in person, so he didn't leave at noon either, he just went back to his car and took a nap.

Because he was troubled, his sleep was not sound. He unintentionally opened his eyes and seemed to see a familiar figure.

When he woke up to take a closer look, the figure had disappeared into the hospital building.

Herman thought he was seeing things and quickly withdrew his gaze.

But not long after, his phone suddenly rang. He answered the call, it was a colleague telling him that Maddox's condition had suddenly deteriorated and was undergoing emergency treatment.

Herman immediately woke up, jumped out of the car, and rushed into the hospital building.

He was anxious and didn't wait for the elevator, so he rushed up the stairs.

Maddox's ward was on the 12th floor, but in his haste, he was running with his head down and accidentally ran up to the 13th floor.

In the stairwell of the 13th floor, he saw Naylor smoking at the corner of the stairs.

"Sir?" Herman was stunned for a moment, "What are you doing here?"

Naylor saw him, just slightly raised his eyebrows, the cigarette in his hand swaying slightly, and slowly said, "I'm here to visit a patient, just taking a smoke break. What are you doing here?"

After saying that, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and answered his own question, "Is it about Maddox's case? What's the situation now?"

"He was supposed to wake up, but his condition has suddenly worsened." Herman quickly answered, ready to rush to the ward, and saw the number on the wall, only then did he realize he had run to the wrong floor, and turned around and went back down the stairs.

Naylor quickly put out the cigarette in his hand and also followed him down.

Both of them arrived at Maddox's ward at the same time, only to meet the doctor who had just finished the CPR, announcing the news of Maddox's death.

...

"It seems that your mentor didn't do anything suspicious." Seraphina said.

Herman lowered his eyes and said, "I don't believe that Maddox's condition would suddenly worsen, so I asked the duty officer if anyone other than the doctor had entered the ward. He said no, but I wasn't satisfied, so I went to check the surveillance video."

However, when he went to check the surveillance video on the 12th floor, he was told that the surveillance on the 12th floor had just malfunctioned yesterday and had not been repaired yet.

Herman was highly alert, so he quickly checked the elevator surveillance video.

In a surveillance video full of strangers, people's eyes would inadvertently focus on the people they are familiar with.
