Chapter 1006 Interrogating Dixon How is that possible? Dixon is a smuggler? I don’t believe it! Sienna tea red up. / always knew Dixon was a criminal, and I’ve illegally collected money with him plenty of times before, but I always thought that was the extent of it. I never imagined Dixon would commit such a heinous crime! He’s responsible for forty-four deaths!

When her train of thought ended there, she felt dizzy.

Sienna stood up unsteadily, intending to go upstairs to get a change of clothes. She wanted to go to the police station.

Thump!

Suddenly, she collapsed to the ground.

“Ma’am!” the housekeeper screamed.

Meanwhile, Dixon was sitting inside the interrogation room of a police station. His hands and legs were cuffed. Furthermore, his body was even restricted by a rope as though the police were afraid he would escape.

Two police officers sat opposite him, staring at him. “Name.”

“You don’t even know who I am? I’m famous in Lake City, you know.” Even though Dixon was a prisoner at that point, he still acted arrogantly and looked down on the police officers.

“State your name!” The officer glared at him with annoyance. “You’re just a criminal when you’re inside this room! I don’t care how amazing or incredible you were in the past. Once someone is here, they’re a criminal, regardless of their status!”

“Dixon Haddock,” he spat while sending vicious glares toward the police officers. Once I’m out of here, I’ll make sure they suffer! How dare a bunch of trash act haughtily in front of me!

The officers proceeded to ask him a couple of questions about himself, such as his gender and age.

After Dixon patiently answered all their questions, the officers continued with the next stage of interrogation.

“When did you begin your smuggling operation?” one of the officers questioned.

“I want to meet my lawyer. He’ll address all of your questions,” Dixon demanded expressionlessly.

Clearly, he wasn’t going to cooperate with the authorities.

When the officer saw Dixon’s unapologetic demeanor, he was enraged and roared, “I’m questioning you right now! Answer me!”

“I want to meet my lawyer.” Dixon lifted his eyelid and glanced at the officer. The officer’s rage didn’t bother him at all.

At that moment, he couldn’t care less how those officers acted.

It was then the police chief approached the officers and inquired, “How is it going?”

“He refuses to say anything,” answered one of the officers resignedly.

“Exhaust him for two days,” the chief spat coldly as he stared at Dixon. “Don’t give him any water, food, or sleep. I want to see how long he’ll last.”

“Roger.”

Thus, Dixon was bound to his chair in the large interrogation room. He was left alone to endure the endless silence within.

After the chief stepped out of the room, he returned to his office.

Lucas and Ashlyn were enjoying a hearty and delicious breakfast there.

A bloody stench was still lingering on their bodies. Fortunately, the blood didn’t belong to them but was splattered on them during the fierce battle from the night before.

The police chief arrived before Ashlyn and informed politely, “We couldn’t get anything out of Dixon, Ms. Berry. We’ll see how well he’ll do after exhausting him for two days.”

Ashlyn nodded and delivered a bite of egg benedict to Lucas’ lips. “Try this.”

The edges of his mouth curved upward as he fed her a mouthful of oatmeal porridge. “You too.”

Meanwhile, the chief was in agony as he watched the affectionate scene unfold. They don’t look like two people who had fought throughout the night. I can’t believe they still have the energy to act all lovey-dovey.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. “Come in,” said the chief.

James pushed the door open and stepped into the room with Joseph. A few city leaders followed behind them.

Without delay, James held Lucas’ hand. “What the heck happened last night, Lucas?”

Then, he turned to Ashlyn. “Your sister’s unsettled at home and concerned that something might have happened to you, so she asked me to get here as soon as possible. How are you two? Were you hurt?”
