After a short pause, Merlin added, "Bring in all the staff here tonight for investigation. Check if the number of personnel is the same, and let the staff identify if there are any missing people!"
The police officers immediately got to work. After that, Merlin said to Charlie," You're most likely the only witnesses at the scene. You didn't witness the full incident, but you'll be a great help in solving this case. We’ll need to trouble you t o follow us to the police station to make a statement later."
Charlie said, "Miss Golding is a public figure. If she’s seen going in and out of the police station at this time, I’m afraid the media here will try to fabricate fake news t o gain attention. It'll be inconvenient." Having said that, Charlie suggested, "How about this. We’ll go back to the hotel first. You may come to the hotel to meet us for the statement later. We'll give you our full cooperation.”
Merlin nodded and said, "That will do. Once I'm done with the crime scene, I'll visit you at the hotel."
Charlie asked him, “Can we leave now?"
“Yes, you may."
Xavion, who was standing beside them, was very dissatisfied with the way Merlin handled things, and he roared, "My son is still missing! No one can leave before my son is found!"
Charlie furrowed his brow and asked in response, “Why?!"
He did not bother wasting his time on Xavion and immediately turned to Merlin with a serious look as he solemnly said," Chief hammy, I suspect that this is a remediated murder! The Fox family is very suspicious!"
Xavion gnashed his teeth and roared," What did you say?!”
