Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 1778-1779

Chapters 1778.

Realizing that it was just Old Flint, Gerald and Ray breathed a sigh of relief. Old Flint inevitably raised a slight eyebrow as he asked in a daze,

"You two? What are you doing here? And how did you get in?"

The chief inspector had already ordered him not to make contact with Gerald anymore. What's more, he has also been told that Gerald is no longer allowed to assist them in the investigation of the case. With that in mind, Old Flint could only obey his superiors.

"We're here looking for clues!" Gerald replied casually.

"Listen, I'm sorry, but you two shouldn't be involved in this case anymore. With that in mind, please leave! If you come back here again, our only option is to bring you back with us!" Warn Old Flint seriously.

Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded. Not wanting to make things difficult for the old man, Gerald then replied,

"Copy it!"

However, just as he was about to leave with Ray, he heard Old Flint yell, saying,

"Wait a minute! Did you find any clues while you were here? If you do, please leave it to us!"

Smiling subtly, Gerald then shook his head before saying,

"Sorry, Old Flint, but we didn't manage to find him!"

With that, the two then left the tower. Who's joking Old Flint? It was as if Gerald was going to hand over the clues he found to her!

Whatever the case, now that they had left the Ghost City Dark Sect, Gerald and Ray quickly returned to their offices.

Only once were they inside when Gerald took out the jade ring from the wooden box again. Staring at Gerald, the confused Ray inevitably asked,

"...Is there anything special about that jade ring Gerald? Why do you feel the need to bring her back here?"

Hearing that, Gerald then replied,

"Think about. Why would someone with such a high status like him keep such an old jade ring? Don't you think that's weird?"

It was then that Ray realized that what Gerald was saying was true. At that moment, Juno entered the room before saying,

"That jade ring should belong to an old man!"

"And where did this come from?" Gerald asked as he looked at Juno.

"Well, the ring not only looks weathered, but the carvings on it are also very ancient! My grandmother used to wear the same ring, you know, which is why I feel the wearer must be old too!" Juno clear.

Upon hearing that, Gerald felt that his statement made sense. With that information, Gerald assumed that the ring once belonged to the grandmother of the God Ember, though he later passed it on to her.

"I mean, that's good and everything, but even if we have the ring, we might not be able to catch the God Bucket, right?" Rey Mumbled.

"No. I believe that this jade ring will definitely help us find it! In fact, I already know who the next victim is!" Gerald said in a confident tone.

"You're driving. Our destination is the Census Bureau!"

Chapters 1779.

"Hello? What's up, Gerald?" old Flint asked across the phone.

"Old Flint, while I know you can't let us join the investigation, I hope you can still help us. Basically, if you want to solve this case and catch the God Bucket, listen carefully and trust me when I say that everything I'm going to tell you is going to be very important!" Gerald replied in a serious tone.

Hearing that, Old Flint paused for a moment. However, eventually, she knew she could trust Gerald, so she was willing to take the risk. After all, both of them wanted the case to be settled and the Bucket Lord arrested.

"...All right, tell me how I can help!"

"To the Census Bureau now. I'm on my way there, and I'll tell you more about that when we meet!" Gerald replied before hanging up.

Half an hour later, Ray and Gerald meet Old Flint at the designated spot.

"Why are we here, Gerald...?" Ask the confused old man.

"Listen, I want you to do a background check on the Bucket Lord as well as his family, and not just his parents. I'd like you to thoroughly research anyone related to his parents as well!"

Gerald's orders without giving much explanation as to why.

Even so, Old Flint knew that Gerald must have reason to ask that. With that in mind, the old man then said,

"...Copy that!"

Shortly after, Old Flint then entered the bureau. Gerald needed the parents' help because only someone with his credibility was allowed to access and retrieve other people's information and profiles...

About an hour later, Old Flint finally came out of the bureau with a thick stack of papers. Getting into the car, he then handed the letters to Gerald before saying,

"It's all about Ember Lord and his family, including information about his parents and grandparents!"

Hearing that, Gerald immediately began scanning the document, the speed of reading it faster than someone who skimmed through the pages of the book.

With how serious Gerald was, Old Flint inevitably asked,

"What exactly did you find, Gerald...?"

Gerald, however, ignores the old man and continues reading the newspaper.

"You... You're right! The numbers are exactly the same!"

Ray exclaimed as he looked at Gerald and Old Flint.

Hearing that, Gerald and Old Flint exchanged glances. They finally knew what those numbers represented!
