Chapter 91 Tiamut's Fighting Octagon

"Oh, he did?" Felix's eyes brightened up.

Ravella looked surprised and took out her notepad to write everything down.

"On the first day of the training, he did... leave for many hours. When I saw him next morning, he was very injured."

Jin said with a frown.

"However, there is no way Kiernan would've gone to Irio just to kill someone and come back.

"That makes no sense. He is a good kid, not some kind of twisted murderer!"

"Calm down." Felix raised his hand to silence him. "Do you know how he left? Walking or with a car?"

"With bus," Jin said. "We traveled by bus, and the driver happened to be an Irio citizen, so he gave a ride to Kiernan."

"I see. Do you know his name by any chance?" Felix asked.

"Yes, it should be... Bob Green."

Ravella wrote it down.

"Thanks for your time." Felix shook his hand and headed towards the door.

"There is no way Kiernan did anything you're suspicious of him doing." Jin said. "He's a very nice kid."

"We're just following some leads. Kiernan is not guilty of anything yet." Felix then waved his hand and left with Ravella.

When they reached their car, Felix took out his phone and checked for Bob Green's location.

"He should still be in Irio. His bus is scheduled to leave in a couple of hours." Felix sat in the driver's seat, changed gears, and with a roaring engine, left Karuza High's grounds.

After half an hour, and after crossing the entire city of Irio, he turned the wheel and parked in the bus yard where the other buses were already lined up, ready for departure.

Felix and Ravella left their car, and after asking a couple of bus drivers for Bob's location, they soon found him in front of the bus yard with a cigarette between his lips.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Are you Bob Green?" Felix asked.

"Who's asking?" Bob asked and dropped the cigarette to the ground before stamping it out.

"My name's Felix, and this is my partner, Ravella." Felix showed his detective badge. "We have a few questions."

"A-alright." Bob fearfully said. "I only hit him once in a bar fight. Did that bastard actually call the World Detective Association on me? That's bullshit; it was just a bar fight!"

"Alright!" Ravella giggled and started daydreaming about Kiernan.

Felix walked a little further away, and then the phone call connected.

"Hello, is this Tiamut's Fighting Octagon?"

"Yes, who is this?" A voice answered on the other side of the phone.

"My name's Felix, and I am part of the World Detective Association. You can check my badge number on their website—948727518."

The person on the other side of the phone checked it out and then said, "Well, how may I help you?"

"I need to check someone that visited there a couple of weeks ago—the name should be Kiernan Hunter."

The person typed on the keyboard and sounded like he was munching on a snack at the same time.

"Yeah, he was here." The person replied. "He paid for ten hours of time in the octagon."

"Do you have a way to check whether he was there for all those ten hours?" Felix asked. Experience new stories on empire

"Listen, sir, we have thousands of visitors every week; we don't care whether he was here for exactly ten hours or not."

"Alright, thank you..." Felix ended the phone call and walked to Ravella.

"Well?" Ravella smiled.

"He paid for ten hours." Felix sighed. "I thought it really was him. My first suspicions about Kiernan came when I found out that the victim actually refereed one of his matches."

"Yes, but he has refereed thousands of kids this year alone." Ravella said. "It doesn't mean anything. Everything that we've found has cleared him from his suspicions.

"Unless you think that the murder was very calculated, and Kiernan paid for ten hours of time at the octagon to have an alibi for the murder he was about to commit.

"The murder was very messy and done barehanded. It was far from calculated. Irio has a darker side with underground gangs roaming around the victim's neighborhood.

"One of those underground kids must've broken into his home, and robbery gone wrong, ending up in murder."

"I suppose so." Felix scratched his head. "I really thought my instincts were right on this, but I suppose not."

"It's alright!" Ravella linked arms with him. "Let's just leave it to the police to figure out. We've been summoned by the association for the annual meeting, after all."

"Yeah, I just wanted to solve this before leaving, but I guess we've run out of time." Felix wryly smiled. "Let's return home then. You've done well, if we ignore today's incident!"

"Hehe!"
