Chapter 721. The Properties

"That sounds close, but maybe that wasn’t it,” Hutton replied. “If Emery released the information to the media, he’s trying to help Carl and his daughter not to get caught. But in this video, he’s pleading with the abductors to let his daughter go. Isn’t that confusing?” He turned his gaze to Kahn after speaking.

“It is confusing,” Kahn replied. “But I don’t think there’s any reason Emery Jack would want Carl to return his daughter now, knowing that she would be treated like a criminal based on the new allegations. The girl was accused of being a terrorist, and that’s an accusation that countries don’t take lightly. She’s not gonna get bail or anything.”

“Yea, I agree. Emery would want to keep his daughter away from the police right now,” Hutton remarked. “What I need to figure out now is the reason for the video.”

Hutton clicked on play again but reduced the video speed to see if he would notice any strange gesture from Emery.
