Chapter 150 Question and Answer

After extraction, separation, and comparison, the officers quickly completed their investigation.

With the results in hand, Orville Maxwell, the head of the police station, reported, "Mr. Sullivan, aside from your fingerprints, we have extracted half a fingerprint from the password lock. After analysis, it should be the fingerprint of the left index finger."

Needless to say, it was left by the thief.

Upon hearing the report, Barry said with certainty, "I can confirm that besides me, no one else has touched the safe. If there are other fingerprints, they must belong to the thief."

It was his private possession, and no one else had touched it.

He wouldn't even let the cleaning lady touch it.

Therefore, it could only be left by the thief who stole the Blood Scripture.

"The left index finger?" Gabriel pondered. "Could it be that the thief is left-handed?"

The fingerprint belonged to the person who stole the Blood Scripture. That was for sure.

However, it would be very difficult to identify the thief from this half fingerprint.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Mr. Sullivan, we can let Mr. Maxwell take the fingerprint back for comparison and see if we can find any clues.

"Also, I noticed that there are security screens outside the windows, which are undamaged. The thief should have come in through the main entrance.

"When I entered just now, I saw that the corridor had surveillance cameras, which could capture the entrance to the office. We can retrieve the footage of the suspicious period and investigate each person who entered the office one by one.

"By using these two methods simultaneously, we can ensure we find new leads."

The protective screens outside the windows were sturdy, so the person who stole the Blood Scripture could only enter through the main entrance.

For such a highly confidential place as the State Assembly, it was not an easy task to commit theft.

He strongly suspected that it was someone Barry knew.

After thinking for a moment, Barry nodded and said, "Alright, do it your way."

After that, the two investigations proceeded simultaneously.

Orville took the half fingerprint back to the police station for verification.

The Security Department of the state assembly retrieved the surveillance footage in the corridor, from the moment Barry took back the Blood Scripture until it was stolen, recording everyone who entered Barry's office during that time.

This task wasn't so difficult.

About an hour later, the Security Department handed Barry a list of names.

Surprisingly, as a provincial senator, Barry was quite busy.

During that period, apart from Dale coming in and out, eleven other people had visited Barry's office.

Most of them were members of the assembly.

After reading the list, Barry nodded and said, "That's right. These people fit my memory. I know all of them, but none of them are left-handed."

Subconsciously, he began to use the inference of left-handedness to narrow down the selection.

However, there were no results.

"Mr. Sullivan, may I take a look at the list?" Gabriel asked.

There were no names that couldn't be seen on the list, so Barry handed it to him and said, "Sure, but I guess you probably don't know any of them."

Gabriel took the list and read it. Indeed, they were all unfamiliar names.

But when he saw the last two names, his spirits lifted immediately. "Tyler and Pablo! Have these two also been to your office?"

"Who?" Santos was surprised and snatched the list from Gabriel's hands.

After looking at it for a while, he said, "Could it be that these two who stole the Blood Scripture?"

Gabriel narrowed his eyes, but he said nothing.

He also suspected it was them.

After all, based on the clue provided by Joseph, it was inferred that Tyler had a connection to the Davis family's cultural relics case.

However, there was no concrete evidence, and Jack didn't mention Tyler.

Now, looking at this list, Gabriel felt even more suspicious of Tyler.

"Mr. Sullivan, what did Tyler and Pablo come to see you for?" Gabriel asked.

After thinking it through, he realized that he needed to find a breakthrough from Barry.

Barry replied, "Well, this matter is related to you. At that time, Mr. Brooks came to my office with his grandson, furious and complaining that you had beaten his grandson. He couldn't tolerate you anymore."

After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "Then he said that he would act against you. He hoped that I would turn a blind eye and not interfere."

Upon hearing that, Gabriel couldn't help but sneer, "How ridiculous! Only children would file a complaint."

The conflict between him and Tyler had almost reached an irreconcilable point.

It could be said that Tyler was the last obstacle in his path to establishing Silverwood as his stronghold.

Smiling at Gabriel, Barry said, "Rest assured, I'll remain neutral in this matter. As long as you don't do anything too outrageous, I won't bother with you two."

That was not what he had said back then.

In front of Tyler, he expressed more support for him.

But now, Gabriel had something on him in the matter of the Blood Scripture.

His previous attitude would have to change a bit.

Gabriel didn't mind it. Instead, he asked, "When you were talking to Tyler, did you briefly leave the office?"

If it was really the work of the grandfather and grandson, they wouldn't have been able to steal under Barry's nose.

They must have first distracted Barry before making their move.

As Gabriel asked this question, Barry began to recall.

As he thought, his expression suddenly changed.

Clearly, he seemed to have remembered something.

"Mr. Sullivan, did you leave the office at any point?" Gabriel asked urgently, seeing the change in Barry's expression.

"No!"

However, Barry quickly regained his composure and denied it.

He said, "At that time, I talked with Tyler for more than half an hour. They were sitting right in front of the desk. They couldn't have stolen the Blood Scripture from me."

This answer disappointed Gabriel.

But Gabriel keenly noticed that at the end of Barry's words, there was an obvious trace of ruthlessness on his face.

Although his emotions were restrained, it was obvious that he was angry.

Gabriel smelled a rat.

But Barry's confident statement made it difficult for him to ask further questions.

Afterward, he could only inquire about the other nine people on the list.

This time, Barry was decisive and firm.

He denied each person without any hesitation.

As a result, the situation reached a deadlock again.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for today. I'm tired. You guys can go back."

Barry, looking somewhat fatigued, rubbed his temples and dismissed them.

Santos glanced at Gabriel, saw him nodding, and then stood up, saying, "We will get out of your hair."

Then the three of them left Barry's office.

When they reached downstairs, Santos asked Gabriel, "What do you think about today's matter?"

Gabriel frowned and said, "Currently, we have only confirmed Zoe's speculation. But we still can't make a definitive conclusion on who took the Blood Scripture from Barry.

"I have always felt that it is related to Tyler, but there is no substantial evidence. Moreover, Barry claimed that he never left his seat while talking to Tyler, which seems to rule out Tyler's suspicion.

"This matter is really troublesome.

In fact, Barry was the key to this matter.

He definitely knew who guided him to take the Blood Scripture.

But this guy refused to reveal it, and they were stumped.

"I have the same view." Santos nodded and sighed. "Although we have taken a series of measures to prevent the leakage of the Blood Scripture since it went missing, time is not on our side. The longer it drags on, the more likely there will be loopholes.

"If the Blood Scripture is shipped abroad, it will be a real problem."

He shifted his gaze and smiled awkwardly at Gabriel. "Gabriel, since we don't have any clues, can we ask Zoe for advice and see if she can give us any pointers?"

Today at the hospital, Zoe had easily revealed the truth behind the missing Blood Scripture.

He now truly admired her.

Now that they didn't have any clues, he wanted to seek her advice again. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Gabriel immediately rolled her eyes and said with frustration, "If we ask Zoe again, it will show how clueless you and I are!"

"For important matters, why worry about trivialities?" Santos's expression darkened.

"Alright, alright!" Gabriel forced a smile. "I'll make the call. Zoe's condition is stable now, so it won't be too much of a bother."

He took out his phone and called Zoe.
