The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 4333

With a long sigh. Merlin said helplessly," But... The impact this incident will have on the New York police will be terrible. If we announce it now, it'll make headlines immediately. The mayor and councilors will call us in less than minutes. I wouldn't know how to deal with it..." He added, "I know it's impossible to hide this kind of thing. For now, I'll have to leave the police station first. If any scandals are exposed later on, the director can explain them to the media. I'll take this opportunity to hide. I'm retiring soon, and I can't become a public enemy of the whole nation before I retire." Christian replied, "That makes sense. It'd be good if you can avoid this scandal. Well, stay safe and contact me if there's

anything.

"Right." Merlin hung up and hurriedly packed his things before hurrying out of the building. As soon as he got into the car and was about to make his way to the Fox family manor, he received a push notification from the world's largest video platform. The title shocked him. Thirteen murderers related to Homer in New York were executed by a mysterious force last night!

He hurriedly clicked on the notification and was horrified to find that the other party had released many videos related to torture and murder. The protagonists of these videos were no longer Homer, but instead the thirteen corpses found in Hudson River earlier today! The thirteen people turned out to be far crueler and much worse than Homer. At the end of the video, there was a shot of the sea in the middle of the night.

There, the thirteen people who had been executed were thrown from the boat into the water one by one. The video pointed a strong light on each of the thirteen people, giving a detailed close-up of their faces. It was clear that each of them had died miserably, horror evident in their blank eyes.

Whenever the video showed each person's face, the screen would pause for a short time. The person's name and related information was then shown next to the face.

Each of these thirteen victims were either sons of renowned families of New York, or descendants of wealthy lineages worth tens of billions of dollars.

Once the video was released, the media once again stirred the entire internet and immediately followed up with reports in the shortest possible time.

The eople's anger was roused once more, and they hurled scathing criticisms to the murdered men and their families on the internet. It quickly caused those from the working to the middle case to deeply hate the upper-class folk.

Suddenly, the entirety of New York's upper social circle was struck with a deep sense of foreboding. They feared that after this incident, the whole society would keep them in check and expose all of their carefully hidden scandals,

Merlin's superior called him at once and told him to prepare a press conference immediately. It was to express the police's position to the media and public and stabilize the people's wrath.

However, Merlin refused to accept the delegation and immediately said, "I'm on my way to the autopsy center now. Let someone else do it."

Merlin's superior roared, "Homer went missing in your jurisdiction, and so many cases have arisen right after that. These cases are all under you! You're the most suitable person for the press conference!"

But Merlin was determined and

replied staunchly, "You either let me go to the autopsy center and let me try my best to find clues to solve the case, or you can just give me an order. I'll retire immediately. don't want to be a part of this anymore!"

Merlin's superior was furious to hear that." Lammy! Don't you dare threaten me with your retirement! Even if you want to retire early, it must be after the press conference!"

Merlin also went all out and roared just as hotly, "In that case, I'll announce my early retirement at the press conference. I won't say a word about this case!"

"You...!" Merlin's superior was livid,

but he had no way to deal with Merlin's stubbornness. He could only growl, "I'll settle the press conference for you, but you'd better solve the case quickly! Otherwise, the people of New York will keep

criticising you even after your retirement."

At that, Merlin immediately said, "Don't worry. If we can't solve this case, I'll hold a press conference and make a public apology to the people of the United States.'
