The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 240

"Heh!" Ava gave Daniel a cold laugh, looking at him as if she were staring down a notorious villain. She challenged him, "If Handsome wasn't killed by you, then how did you know he was here? If you want to avoid arrest, you'll need to prove your innocence!"

Ava might have been lacking a solution, but her instincts told her that this scoundrel probably knew something. She was determined to coax out whatever he was hiding.

"Prove my innocence?" Daniel saw right through Ava's intentions and responded with a cheerful demeanor. "Sarge, are you perhaps clueless about the key point of the case? Is that why you're trying to frame me, wanting my help to solve it?"

Exposing Ava's strategies left her seething with irritation. "Frame you? Why would I set up a lowlife like you? I’m just carrying out the law! How did you know Handsome was here if you didn't kill him? Moreover, right after Shitstrong brought out the suicide note, you immediately questioned the handwriting. So either you killed Handsome, or you know some undisclosed secrets!"

"If you're clueless about where to start with the case, you could simply ask for my advice. Don't play these games with me; do I look like a kid to you?" Daniel couldn’t be bothered with her any longer and turned to leave. He had already sensed that the person responsible for killing Handsome and Jennflower had left the hotel and that this case wasn't going to be resolved quickly.

Daniel planned to wait until Ava cooled her head and humbly sought his guidance before showing her how to crack the case step by step.

Ava immediately realized the value of his advice, thinking to herself, "This lowlife is actually quite clever. This approach is indeed a sound method."

Despite internally praising Daniel, Ava wasn't about to give him the satisfaction of acknowledging it aloud.
