I Am the Ruler of All (Kingsley) novel Chapter 849

Kingsley noticed that Alden didn't seem to be lying, and this piqued his interest.

It looks like Matt is playing it safe with his approach. The people responsible for different aspects are unaware of each other's activities. This way, even if there is a problem in one aspect, it won't cause a significant impact.

If he hadn't asked Terrell to keep an eye on the morgue entrance, they might have lost crucial leads.

"Now, go ahead and share what you know," Kingsley said coldly. "Your plan has utterly failed now. If you don't confess, these two beds are reserved for you and your wife!"

"I..."

Alden's spirit had already been shattered by the sight of the two corpses.

Just as he was about to confess, Janae ruthlessly pinched him and whispered through gritted teeth, "Think carefully. If you spill the beans, you'll lose your job! You have no money. Do you think I'll continue living with you? I'll take our child back to my mother's house, and you'll never see your son again!"

Alden's body trembled, and his mind instantly became clear.

She's right. If I mess up this matter, the worst that can happen is missing out on a promotion or a raise. However, if I expose the chairman, I'll definitely be fired!

Seeing the changing expression on Alden's face, Kingsley snorted coldly and didn't press him any further.

Instead, he approached the "corpse" of the homeless man and began to examine it carefully.

He planned to determine the cause of death first and then leverage it to compel Alden into revealing the truth.

Just as Kingsley was about to place his hand on the homeless man's body, Baron swiftly interjected, "Boss Nicholson, should I fetch some gloves for you? This is quite dirty."

"No need." Kingsley shook his head. "I'm going to check the cause of death."

The deceased were not like the living. He had to make skin-to-skin contact to sense where exactly the problem lay in the body where blood circulation had ceased.

Observing this scene, everyone around them curled their lips and showed a disgusted and disdainful expression.

"What's his game? Does he think he's a forensic expert?"

"This guy had a cardiac disease, right? Even if he were a forensic doctor, he couldn't just determine the cause of death related to cardiac disease by touching, could he?"

Observing Kingsley's subtly expressive face, Baron cautiously approached and inquired, "Boss Nicholson, what's going on? Is it because you couldn't find the cause of death?"

Deep down, Baron had never truly believed that Kingsley could deduce the cause of death simply by touching the deceased.

At this moment, he was contemplating the right words to both flatter Kingsley and give him a way out.

Without hiding the fact at all, Kingsley nodded and replied, "Indeed, I couldn't determine the cause of death."

As soon as these words were heard, a chorus of boos erupted from the surrounding crowd.

"Tsk, I thought he'd craft some excuse! I never expected him to not even come up with a cause of death!"

"Heh, this guy is quite the actor, isn't he? He found absolutely nothing and was merely putting on a show with his eyes closed just now."

"I knew this would be the outcome! No matter how skilled he is, diagnosing cardiac disease with just a touch is impossible!"
