On the day of the incident, a group of armed individuals forcibly entered the Perez familys home, engaging in a confrontation with Koby.
Subsequently, they compromised the surveillance system before ruthlessly slaughtering the entire Perez family.
The revelation of the criminals cunning strategy sparked a memory in Larry, reminding him of Cory, who had just been arrested.
Following this lead, Larry discovered that one of the fingerprints found at the scene closely matched Corys.
Armed with this evidence, Larry proceeded to the interrogation room to confront Cory.
Seated before Larry, Cory was handcuffed, yet an unsettling smile played on his lips.
Staring sharply at Larry, Cory inquired with a dismissive tone, Wheres your boss? Youre just a lowly servant.
Why should I waste my time talking to you? Hearing this, the young official beside Larry, freshly appointed, bristled with irritation and cursed, Still so stubborn when Death knocks at your door, huh? Based on the evidence they had gathered, even without the tragic incident involving the Perez family, Cory seemed destined for a death sentence. Why was Cory still so arrogant? Larry signaled discreetly to the young official not to engage unnecessarily, and then placed the files before Cory.
That night, you had a heated altercation with Koby at the Perez familys residence.
Care to explain? Larry asked calmly.
Cory responded arrogantly, Will it make any difference? Nathan would only be satisfied if I were dead, right? Call him here.
I wont say a word unless hes present.
Seeing Corys reluctance to cooperate, Larry slammed his hand on the table and cautioned, Mr.
Payne doesnt have time for your games, Cory.
Its in your best interest to cooperate.
Cory laughed disdainfully and fixed his gaze on Larry, remarking casually, Isnt it standard procedure for the National Security Bureau to employ special interrogation tactics? Go ahead, Im not afraid of you.
Observing Corys unwillingness to divulge any information, Larry escorted him back to the holding cell and briefed Nathan on the situation.
Nathan knew well that extracting a confession from someone as cunning as Cory wouldnt be easy.
In a low voice over the phone, he instructed, Continue investigating the Perez family case.
We need solid evidence to pin Cory down.
Defeating someone as shrewd as Cory required meticulous gathering of evidence that would unequivocally prove his guilt.
Roger that. After his conversation with Larry, Nathans expression soured, hinting that a meeting with Cory was inevitable.
Late into the night, Nathan stood lost in thought by the window in another lab ward.
With a creak, the door swung open.
Lucinda entered, holding a glass of milk.
Concerned by Nathans troubled demeanor, she set down the milk and asked, Whats wrong? Is it Cory giving you trouble again, or are you in pain? Should I call Aldric? Now the only sticky situation left was Cory himself.
A sly operator like him was surely dragging his feet intentionally, likely banking on some big shot backing him up to bail him out.
In front of Lucinda, Nathan adopted a pitiful look and sighed.
