A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 513 - 513

The long-lost feeling of being filled came rushing back.

In that moment, Eleanor's body shivered uncontrollably.

She sighed deeply and said, "I...I've missed this feeling so much..."

Then.

A fierce battle ensued.

The two were wrapped in each other's arms, wandering in a sea of desire.

They wished they could merge the other into themselves.

For a whole hour and a half.

Dirk felt a surge at his waist.

The ecstatic sensation of the final moment rose within him.

Though Eleanor was exhausted, she clung to Dirk's waist as if energized, weakly saying, "Give it to me, give it all to me..."

This time, without any hesitation.

Dirk let out a low growl, rushing forth.

The erupting warmth spread internally, making Eleanor convulse even more, drooling at the corners of her mouth, rolling her eyes back as if in a near-death state...

According to Dirk's plan.

He intended to depart the following evening.

But as soon as the sun rose the next day.

He had just gotten out of Eleanor's bed when he received terrible news.

Jeff Hughes had died.

Died in the detention center.

The incident took place yesterday afternoon.

Jeff Hughes, known for being more obedient in the detention center, suddenly assaulted another detained person.

Due to severe violation of rules.

The detention center decided to confine Jeff Hughes.

And in the confined room.

Jeff Hughes huddled in the corner; no one noticed his wrists had been slit.

When the patrol staff found abnormalities, Jeff Hughes was already dead, with blood all over the ground, it had dried up.

Rexton City's Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection, Public Security Bureau, and Procuratorate swiftly went to the detention center to investigate, discovering the tool used for self-harm was a small metal piece. The origin of the metal piece is still unclear, but his death can basically be considered a suicide due to guilt.

Although it logically makes sense.

Dirk still felt there was something off about it.

After all, the detention center's confinement room is monitored 24 hours, and as someone who studied medicine since elementary school, he knows that after cutting wrists, a person will go into shock in 20 minutes, completely bleed out in two hours.

Is it possible that no patrol occurred in the confinement room for two hours?

This is unreasonable!

He called Fabian Vincent, who also sounded low on the phone, saying he hadn't expected Jeff Hughes to do such a thing and has been immersed in grief all this time.

Though puzzled.

Dirk didn't take it too much to heart.

After all, Jeff Hughes' case has been thoroughly investigated; no matter the reason behind his death, it can only be deemed as his own fault.

Following this incident.

Dirk wasn't in the mood to catch up with old friends.

He booked an eleven o'clock flight in the morning.

Rushed to the airport urgently.

Non-stop, finally returning to Koryn City around two-thirty in the afternoon.

Just got back to the office.

The Public Security Bureau Chief Irving Pace knocked on his door.

"Secretary General Carter, I heard you returned, so I came over."

Irving Pace said with a smile.

Dirk waved his hand and said, "Chief Pace, please, have a seat."

"Secretary General Carter, you've been traveling non-stop; do you need some rest? I can talk with you later if that works."

Irving Pace said.

Dirk paused and asked, "Is it about Enzo Sawyer's case?"

Irving Pace nodded and said, "Didn't you ask me for all the materials related to Enzo Sawyer's case last time? I've gathered them."

He pointed to the pile of files he placed on the desk.

Dirk suddenly felt energized.

He said, "Tell me what you've got."

Irving Pace nodded and said, "Enzo Sawyer's case was actually overseen by me, so I'll start by telling you about Enzo Sawyer..."

Enzo Sawyer was 36 years old when he was shot and killed last year, serving as the Deputy Chief Prosecutor of Koryn City Procuratorate.

The leadership of the Koryn City Procuratorate consists of one Chief and three Deputies.

Enzo Sawyer ranked second among the three Deputy Chief Prosecutors, was a member of the procuratorate's party committee, mainly supervising the 3rd and 5th procuratorial departments.

Upon hearing this.

Dirk paused and asked, "What do the 3rd and 5th procuratorial departments do?"

Irving Pace said, "Our Koryn City Procuratorate has five procuratorial departments, each with clear divisions of responsibility. The first department supervises related criminal cases, arrest reviews, prosecution reviews, and other related case investigations, case filing supervision, investigation supervision, and trial supervision. The second department oversees reviews for crimes specified by the Koryn City Procuratorate, job-related crime reviews, and crimes disrupting the socialist market economy order, performed under the jurisdiction of Deputy Chief Prosecutor Cade Ballard."

The third department oversees supervision of law enforcement activities in prisons, detention centers, and community correction institutions, supervision of criminal judgments, rulings enforcement, forcible medical treatment enforcement, detention and case-handling time limits, and reviews the necessity of detention.

Handles cases of criminals who commit further crimes.

Handles investigation of cases involving judicial staff using their authority to infringe citizens' rights and harm judicial fairness entrusted by the upper-level procuratorate.

The fourth department deals with civil and administrative cases' supervision applications submitted to the Koryn City Procuratorate, undertakes legal supervision of civil and administrative litigation activities, execution activities, and trial personnel's illegal actions from city courts.

Engages in civil support litigation work.

Undertakes civil and administrative public interest litigation cases designated to be handled by the Koryn City Procuratorate.

Handles civil, administrative, and public interest litigation appeal cases within the procuratorate's jurisdiction.

This department's work is managed by the third-ranking Deputy Chief Prosecutor Renee Carter.

The last one is the fifth department.

Responsible for receiving complaints and appeals.

Handles national compensation cases and judicial assistance cases.

Manages reviews of juvenile crimes and juvenile crime-related cases for arrests, prosecution reviews, conducts related case filing supervision, investigation supervision, trial supervision, and supports juvenile judicial protection and crime prevention work.

The third and fifth departments are part of Enzo Sawyer's work scope.

Dirk nodded, asking, "What about Enzo Sawyer's wife? What's her occupation?"

Irving Pace shook his head and said, "Enzo Sawyer wasn't married."

Dirk paused, asking, "Thirty-six years old and still not married?"

"Yes, he never married. I've interacted with him in a work context. This man is quite handsome, and I hear there are quite a few girls in the judicial system who fancy him, some even pursued him actively, but none worked out. He always had a cold demeanor towards people, gives off a high-and-mighty impression, a bit hard to get along with."

Irving Pace said.

In the file folder, there was a photo of Enzo Sawyer.

Dirk picked it up and glanced at it.

Indeed, he is very handsome, not the kind of soft handsomeness, but rugged, with a tough-guy feeling.

Dirk nodded, saying, "So tell me the entire robbery incident."

Irving Pace nodded and said, "At the end of September last year, the command center received a report that someone was conducting an armed robbery in the business hall of the Rural Commercial Bank on Cheqian Road. The local police station, criminal investigation team, and SWAT team swiftly arrived at the scene..."

By the time the police arrived.

There had already been casualties on the scene.
