At this time, Merlin was at the police station, and he was in a meeting with a handful of the top leaders as well as several executives from the police department.
The head of the FBI in New York had come over personally just now, scolded them, and even proposed that the FBI would take over if they could not solve the case within the next twenty-four hours.
Merlin was already feeling extremely anxious at this time.
If this case was taken away by the FBI, the New York Police Department would not be able to save its reputation at all.
Moreover, Merlin was going to retire soon, and he naturally did not want such a big
case to end up in failure just as he was about to leave the police department. So, all of his thoughts were currently focused on how to solve the case.
However, all of his thoughts and the clues seemed to have come to a dead-end, and he was merely going around in circles repeatedly, yet he could not seem to find the key.
At this time, Christian suddenly called. Merlin quickly left the conference room, returned to his office, and answered the call.
After the phone call was connected, Merlin asked, “Christian, how is your father doing?”
Christian said, "Fortunately, he has pulled through."
Merlin heaved a sigh of relief and said, That's good... It seems as though not everything is bad tonight, then..."
Christian asked, "How are things going on your end? I saw the news, and it seems as though the both of us have guessed this matter correctly."
