Chapter 2098
Having a guilty conscience, Reuben hastily lowered his head and said in a pretentiously respectful
tone," The Police Department has sent many people to search for her in Nishitama District, but they
haven''t found her whereabouts yet."
With that, he hurriedly added, "However, they are increasing the manpower and police force to
expand the search area. I hope they can find valuable clues as soon as possible, and of course, it''s
best to find where Jasmine is in the fastest way possible.” 6
Charlie waved his hand and said tly, "No, that''s not what I''m asking. I want to know whether the
Tokyo Police Department has given a verdict or an assumption on this incident as idental or
intentional homicide." 6
When Reuben heard the word "intentional homicide", i t sent chills down his spine, and his heart
skipped a beat in panic. He felt cold sweat starting to seep out from his back, but fortunately, he was
wearing a jacket, so it was unnoticeable.
In fact, the police department had a clear direction in this case. They believed that this incident was
an intentional homicide as the ident scene had been obviously manipted. However, they were
still unable to find any valuable clues to establish their case yet.
Now that Charlie had asked him so bluntly, Reuben was getting more and more nervous.
Initially, he had thought that Charlie''s hands were tied since he was in Japan alone, but from the
looks of it, it was apletely different scenario now. Charlie shared such a great rtionship with
the Ito family. If he stated his request, the family would definitely try everything they could to help
him investigate the matter.
The Ito family was very influential and powerful in Japan. Once they intervened, it was likely that
they could find out the truth faster than the police due to their diversifiedworks and connections.

Reuben was on pins and needles and didn’t know how to reply to Charlie''s question.
Charlie pushed on, "Reuben, answer me."
Reuben came to his senses and hurriedly said, "Oh, I''m so sorry, Master Wade. I was just thinking
about Jasmine and also worried about her safety, so I was a little distracted..." 4
With that, he sat up straight and said truthfully, "The police department defines the case as an
intentional homicide, but because they couldn''t find any valuable pieces of evidence yet, they have
to wait for further investigation results before they conclude their verdict. As for the murder, it is just
an assumption so far."
Charlie nodded and said coldly, "The Tokyo Police
Department is known to be useless and ipetent. Some time ago, Tokyo was very chaotic and
wrecked with havoc with so many major cases piled up in the city, but they have not solved any of it
yet. I don''t know how long it will take if you count on them for Jasmine''s case." 3
Then, he pointed to Nanako and said, "Reuben, Miss Nanako and I are quite close, and I also have
some connections with the Ito family. I believe you have also heard of their reputation and influence
in Japan. With her help, I believe that our search for Jasmine should progress faster than the
police." 4
Nanako immediately said graciously, "Charlie-kun, please rest assured that our family will be at your
disposal!"
Nanako''s remarks made Reuben terrified. 3
He knew very well that with the Ito family’s ability, even if they didn’t manage to find the living
Jasmine, they would definitely be able to find out the truth of the case.
Moreover, from the Ito family''s majestic helicopter convoy earlier, it was enough to see that the
family was very attentive to Charlie''s order no matter what h e asked for.
He could also imagine that once Charlie made his request, the Ito family would definitely go all out
to search for Jasmine''s whereabouts and the truth of the whole matter.
By then, he would be doomed...

Reuben was in great despair at this moment, and ayer of fine beads of sweat had gushed out of
his forehead.
Charlie observed all his reactions discreetly. He was more and more certain that there was
something wrong with Reuben!
