My Sweet Second Marriage (Eudora and Amos)
Chapter 738

Amos's voice stopped the policemen for a second.

"What? Do you have anything else you want to say?"

"Although you've found something, how can you prove that you'd really found that in our room?"

The policeman was stunned, "We all saw it!"

Upon hearing this, Amos curved his lips slightly.

"This matter isn't definite! I suggest you check it carefully. It isn't too late to conduct another investigation."

The policeman frowned, "We'll investigate it when we go back, of course."

"No!" Amos said in a low voice, "If you don't investigate this matter clearly now, you might let the people who are the real culprits go. Then, won't you lose more than you'd gain?"

Hearing that, Samuel and Leslie quickly looked at each other.

Amos glanced at the two of them from the corner of his eyes, and the corners of his lips quirked.

The policeman who had taken the lead was a well-mannered person. When he heard Amos's words, he nodded.

"Okay! We can't randomly arrest people either. Since you've requested for it, let's check the room again. Where is the appraiser we brought? Have all of you searched the other rooms? Don't go easy on any of them!"

"Yes, Sir!"

The crowd began to get busy again, and the police officers also came in with the appraiser.

Amos looked back at his wife and children and found a seat on the sofa, with Sugar Bun in his arms. Then, he sat down again calmly.

He patted the seat next to him and said, "Come and have a seat."

Eudora had been together with Amos for a long time, and she knew his personality a long time ago. No matter what the situation, he would always remain calm.

For some reason, Eudora, who initially was panicked, felt at ease.

She walked over and sat down. Compared to the rest of the people on the scene, the couple's reactions were completely different.

They were unusually calm.

The leading police officer looked at them and

then looked away.

Soon, the police who was responsible for the appraisal came back.

"The results are out. There is indeed something wrong with the gun."

The leading police officer was stunned, "What's the problem?"

Samuel and Leslie, who had been watching the scene, also looked over with suspicion.

Leslie suddenly smiled in apparent relief and said, "That gun really isn't what you guys thought it was, right? Then, that's great!"

The police officer glared at him, "I haven't announced the result yet. What are you guessing on about?"

Leslie shut his mouth immediately. Ever since he had come to Rosaville City, his temper seemed to be much better than before. He was not as domineering as he used to be in Greene City. He had become a good, law-abiding citizen!

While they were talking, the police officer in charge of the second round of searching the rooms came back. This time, one of the police officers held a tray.

"We found this!"

The item was almost the same as the

previous gun, except that the details were only slightly different that they couldn't notice it at all from a distance.

Eudora was confused. What was going on?

Truth be told, her motive behind the team building session was to confirm the suspects in her mind. However, before she could even carry out her plan, why were things already unravelling? Just as she was feeling confused, Amos was already holding her fingers.

He pinched her lightly, as a silent sign of comfort. Eudora looked up at Amos in shock. Clearly, he had an answer in his heart already.

Perhaps, this was all his doing?

As she was thinking, Samuel spoke again.

"What does that mean?"

If it was said that Leslie had completely changed ever since he came to Rosaville City, then Samuel's 'change' was even more drastic.

He had remained the same in Rosaville City, acting just like he did in Greene City. He had never changed at all.

The police officer looked at him, and said, "Since you guys want to know, then I'll tell you. The first gun just now looked the same as a real gun. Moreover, it appeared like a

controlled weapon. However, after checking, we found it to be a toy gun!"

Everyone was speechless.

Why did the serious matter seem like a joke now?

After a pause, the police officer's gaze swept over everyone. "As for the second one, just as expected, it is indeed a controlled weapon. Therefore, according to the law, anyone related with that gun must go back with us to assist in the investigation!"

Everyone turned to look at Amos.

Obviously, everyone thought that Amos was the owner of the second gun.

Samuel frowned, while Leslie asked the policemen for mercy, "There must be something wrong with this. We've come out merely for a team- building session. How could we have brought a controlled weapon?" "Just now, in order to answer your doubts, we have done everything we should have. As for whether we've made a mistake or not, the person involved will have to go back with us to assist in the investigation."

Then, the police officer waved to the people behind him.

"Take him away!"

In the next second, he saw several people

walking toward Amos. However, they didn't arrest him. Instead, they walked past Amos and walked towards the person behind Amos.

Leslie took a quick look at Samuel, "You?"

Samuel's face froze slightly. Before he could open his mouth, those people had already caught the one next to him, which was Leslie! Samuel glanced at Leslie in astonishment.

Leslie, who was getting arrested, was completely stunned.

"After a moment of panic, he quickly questioned, "What the hell is going on? Why are you arresting me?"

"Because that item was found in your room!"

"That's impossible!" Leslie argued, "I didn't even bring anything with me. How could it be there? Someone must have taken the opportunity to frame me! Hurry up and check the surveillance footage!"

The police officer shook his head. "I'm sorry, but we've checked the surveillance. The surveillance in the corridor was tampered with this afternoon, and nothing could be seen. But you can rest assured that we will give you a result after the investigation!"

Leslie looked at Eudora. "Miss, I..."

Eudora didn't say a word, but her heart

gradually sank as she looked at Amos's tense face.

Was she mistaken? She had thought that the man was Samuel. After all, Samuel did not like her.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the person whom she had trusted all the time.

Why? Her father had treated him so well and thought everything through for him. In fact, he respected her father very much. Why did he do this?

Eudora almost couldn't hold back her anger and almost burst everything out. However, when she realized that there were still many things that she had not figured out, she abruptly remained silent.

She comforted lightly, "Uncle Clarke, we will replace out the cause and give you a satisfactory answer!"

Only then did Leslie nod his head and let the police officer take him away.

Due to this event, no one was in the mood anymore. After the police left, they all went their separate ways.

Soon, only the four members of the Granger family and Samuel were left in the hall.

Amos and Samuel stood there, staring at each other.

After a long time, Amos smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Uncle Chilton!"
