My Substitute CEO Bride -
Chapter 620
Chapter 620
Dane Sutherland turned to Angelica and asked in astonishment, “ Angelica, what are you doing here?”
Angelica was the chief of an Area Inspection Brigade, just like him.
She was also the only inspection officer who had been made chief of an Area Inspection Brigade before turning even 25 years old.
Hence, Angelica had formed a great impression on him.
“A murder just occurred in Jonford. It was an extremely violent crime. Not only did the murderer upload a video of the victim getting abused on the dark web, but they also harvested the victim’s kidneys so that they could sell them for profit.
“The clues we had gathered thus far told us the culprit was hiding in Purple Church, and Mr. Calcraft is working with me to catch the
murderer!”
Angelica gave him a summary of what was going on.
Dane had a nickname-Mother Sutherland.
He was a man of integrity who always abided by the law. However, he
was not a particularly easy man to get along with and often acted
rashly.
Several times, he stood up during meetings and objected to what
Chief Zink proposed.
Thus, Chief Zink was not very pleased with him.

After hearing Angelica’s explanation, Dane beckoned for his men to
put their guns away as he asked flatly, “Is he a member of the
Inspection Office?”
Angelica shook her head. “No!”
Dane sneered. “Shouldn’t the work of catching criminals be left to the inspection officers? Why is he butting in?”
Angelica answered, “He’s sworn brothers with Philix Xing, the Northern Territory’s general. Nash has also saved his life in the past!”
Everything went quiet after she said that.
The two inspection officers standing behind Dane gulped instinctively.
Philix Xing.
General of the Northern Territory.
Hearing those phrases felt like being struck by lightning.
Even Dane, who usually never bowed down to power, could not stop
himself from drawing a sharp intake of breath.
It had not even occurred to him that Nash had such powerful individuals supporting him.
Just then, Nash noticed a group of cars appearing in the footage.
There were eight cars, and all their license plates had been blacked
out.
They were driving down a road inside the tourist attraction that had
restricted access.

“Where does this road lead to?” Nash asked.
“It leads to Mount Royal, and you can cut through Mount Royal to exit onto Interstate 709!”
The security guard was familiar with the roads here and answered Nash’s question without hesitation.
“I’ll contact the Traffic Inspection Department and have them keep an eye on Interstate 709!”
Angelica immediately grabbed her phone to make the phone call.
Nash shook his head. “It’s unlikely Dominic will take Interstate 709!”
Dominic was not an idiot. The fact he had been president of the Green Bamboo Association for so long and could keep the Ten
Juggernauts under his control was enough to indicate he was much
more cunning than he let on.
There was no doubt Dominic’s men were behind the Purple Church
massacre.
Mount Warner was a tourist attraction equipped with countless
security cameras, which would allow them to piece together their
journey.
If they traveled down the interstate, they could be easily located by checking the highway’s surveillance system.
Hence, Nash had a hunch Dominic would not be taking the interstate.
However, that might not be the case either.
Given how cunning Dominic was, it was highly likely he would do

exactly what they were expecting him not to do.

Perhaps he would get Lindon to hide in Mount Royal while he traveled
down the interstate with his men?
Maybe he would take Lindon with him and have the eight cars exit
onto the interstate at different times and head to different
destinations?
Nash’s head began aching.
It was probably going to be impossible to capture Lindon.
Unless a massive number of inspection officers were summoned to
search the entirety of Mount Royal.
Some of them also needed to be tasked with following those eight
cars.
Such a massive operation could not be accomplished in such a short
amount of time.
“Dane, there was a camera embedded in one of the statues. Why
don’t you look at the footage and see if it’s useful?”
A sooty-faced firefighter stood outside the guardhouse and handed
over a pocket-sized security camera
Delighted, Dane hurriedly took the camera and asked, “Did you replace it
in the statue in the main hall?”
“Yes, but we aren’t sure if the footage on it can be used or not. The
fire’s been put out. We’re leaving the rest up to you!”
He got into the firetruck and left after saying that.

Dane turned to one of his team members and asked, “Did you bring a
laptop?”
They shook their heads as they answered, “The company-issued laptop that we usually keep in the car has been sent for repairs!”
Dane handed the camera to the security guard. “Please help me extract the surveillance footage stored in this camera!”
