Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress novel Chapter 705

Chapter 705: Play detective

The next day...

"Here is a copy of the dashcam footage, though I don’t think it’s any good." The owner of the blue car handed the USB stick to Atlas, sighing. "The quality isn’t great, and I doubt it caught anything."

Atlas smiled appreciatively at the owner. "Even so, thank you for giving me a copy. I really appreciate it."

"Man..." The man looked at Atlas from head to toe, discerning that he was well off. "My car was parked far from the incident, though. Is it really going to be helpful?"

"Yes." Atlas nodded. "I’ll take this with me. Thank you."

"Ah..." The man waved a little, still confused as Atlas turned around. "Wait, can I ask you one question?"

"Yes?"

"Why aren’t the officers doing this?"

Atlas smiled at him. "They’re working on it, but I’d like to help hasten the investigation."

"Ahh..." The man rocked his head. "This person must be very important to your family, huh?"

"Hmm?"

The man smiled and chuckled. "Because your brother came here as well to get a copy of the dashcam. I was surprised when you said you were coming here to talk."

Deep lines appeared between Atlas’s brows as he looked at the owner of the blue car. "My brother?"

’Hugo?’ Atlas thought. ’He caught on so fast, but I guess that’s much better.’

"Yes!" the man exclaimed, chuckling happily. "I was a bit surprised, you know? Your brother is very popular, so to see him come into this neighborhood is surprising."

Atlas’s thoughts halted upon hearing the man’s remark. "Uhm... I’m not following. My brother isn’t that popular."

"Haha! You’re so humble. Slater Bennet is a superstar — he’s a great guy too! I asked for his autograph for my daughter. I now have a gift for her; her birthday is next week, and she’s a huge fan of his." The man went on and on, unable to stop himself from sharing this moment with Atlas because he was too excited and amazed by it.

Who would have thought parking illegally would give him a chance to receive a visit from Slater Bennet?

Atlas, on the other hand, was completely confused. He looked at the man with total bewilderment, brows furrowed, as he watched the man laugh about getting an autograph.

"I see." Atlas nodded in understanding, even though he couldn’t comprehend this at all. "Very well, thanks again."

"Ahh... no problem!" The man waved, watching Atlas walk away slowly. When Atlas reached his car, the man let out a deep exhale. "I guess getting my car towed isn’t all that bad. I got an autograph from a celebrity and even got a visit from his rich brother! Hehe!"

********

Atlas sat in the backseat, deep in thought. He held the USB stick securely in his hand, but instead of reviewing it, he couldn’t help but wonder about what the man had said.

’This is not something he should be playing around with,’ he thought, taking his phone out to scold Slater and stop him. ’He probably thinks this is as simple as playing detective, but he has no idea this could be bigger than it appears.’

Having thought of that, Atlas dialed Slater’s number and waited for it to be picked up. But alas, Slater didn’t answer. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}
