CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

Chapter 183

Stanley nodded. “Looks like the murderer has deliberately concealed his face.”

At this moment, the restaurant manager brought a few police officers and hurried up to them.

An elderly police officer asked, “Who made the police report?”

The woman who made the call raised her hand. “It was me.”

“Alright, tell me what happened.” He flipped his notebook open in preparation to take notes.

The lady glanced at Natalie and told him everything after Natalie nodded at her.

Yulia clutched onto the elderly police officer’s hand. “Sir, please, you have to catch the culprit!”

The two children echoed, “That’s right! Sir, please!”

Stanley remained silent and looked down. No one knew what he was thinking about.

“Don’t worry, this is our responsibility. We will definitely do so.” He comforted Yulia and the children as he pulled his hand back. Then, he began asking Natalie some questions.

After questioning her, his brows were furrowed tightly. “This is a tough case to crack!”

“Why so?” the restaurant manager asked immediately.

Of course, he was worried. Someone nearly died in a restaurant that was under his care!

“According to this lady, the man had deliberately disguised himself. On top of that, there is no security camera in this restroom. With no information on his figure or height, let alone his face, it won’t be easy

for us to find him.” The elderly police officer sighed.

“No, there is a security camera in the corridor.” The restaurant manager pointed above his head.

Stanley raised his eyebrows. “Is that so? That’s great. That camera should have captured the culprit fleeing the scene. Let’s go to the security room to take a look, shall we?”

“We shall.” The elderly police officer nodded.

Yulia helped Natalie get off the chair and the entourage walked towards the security room.

Just like what Stanley had said, the security camera did capture the culprit coming out of the female restroom, but unfortunately, it was still not enough to identify him.

The police officer then suggested that they head to the police station to record their statements before they launched investigations.

“Ah-choo!” Before she left the restaurant, Natalie sneezed continuously.

Yulia turned to the restaurant manager. “Would you happen to have a hairdryer? Could you please let my daughter dry her hair first? Otherwise, she could catch a cold.”

“Yes, yes, we do.” The restaurant manager nodded repeatedly.

Yulia passed the two children to Stanley while she and Natalie went with the manager to get Natalie’s hair dried.

“Hey, isn’t that Natalie?” A baby-faced man was shocked to see Natalie from the window of a private room on the second level.

He then took out his cell phone and made a call. “Hey Shane, guess who I saw?”

“Not guessing!” Shane was completely fixated on the computer screen before him and replied coldly.

Jackson’s eyes rolled and he chuckled. “Well, I saw Natalie.”

Shane’s keyboard strokes paused. “Natalie?”

“Oh yes.”

“Where did you see her?” Shane switched off the speaker mode and placed his cell phone by his ear.

Jackson tapped on the window and replied, “Empire Restaurant. But she doesn’t look too good.”

“What happened?” Shane’s grip on his phone suddenly tightened as he asked in a deep voice.

Jackson looked down at where Natalie was. “I’m not sure what happened exactly. She looks like she is in shock and her face is extremely pale. Her hair is wet and she has a men’s jacket draped over her shoulders. More importantly, there are two police officers behind her. Shane, do you think...”

Before he could finish, he realized that there was no reaction from the other end of the line. When he took a look at the screen, Shane had already hung up on him. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Seems like Shane must be rushing over when he heard what had happened to Natalie.

Downstairs, Natalie dried her hair with Yulia’s help. Then, she got into the police car with the police officers and left the restaurant.

By the time she completed her statement and left the police station, it was already ten o’clock at night.

Together with the rest of the group, Natalie walked in the darkness and it all felt very gloomy indeed.
