Chapter 148
“What do you want the diving equipment for? Don’t tell me you want to go into the water and rescue him yourself.” Daniel was stunned.
“Just tell me if it’s doable.” Marina did not explain much.
“It is doable, but it’s already nighttime and the river is turbulent. Even our professional frogmen couldn’t get anything from the scene. It’s very dangerous for you to go down there.” Daniel didn’t forget who Marina was.
She was their director’s niece.
If anything happened to her, his director was going to eat him alive.
“I have a diving permit. You don’t have to worry about me. I won’t actually risk my life.” Marina knew that Daniel was worried about her, so she explained in a low voice.
Daniel stared at Marina for a moment. After confirming that she was not joking, he finally made a call.
In less than a moment, someone sent a set of diving equipment over.
Just as Marina was about to get changed, Simon suddenly grabbed her wrist.
“I’ll go down there instead of you!”
“There’s no need for that. I can do it myself.” Marina directly rejected Simon’s suggestion.
Simon wanted to say something, but Marina interrupted him again.
“This is my own business. There’s no need to get you involved. Besides, I’m quite confident about this.”
After Marina finished speaking, she did not wait for Simon to say anything back and went straight to the car at the side to change into the diving suit.
On the bank of the river.
Simon and Daniel looked at Marina nervously.
“Miss Bailey, the frogman who went down just now told us that there are still some undercurrents under the river. You have to be extremely careful. In addition, it’s nighttime now, and your vision will be blocked. If you sense anything strange, you have to come up immediately!”
Daniel repeatedly reminded her.
Marina gave him an OK sign and went into the water without hesitation.
Simon looked at Marina as she dived into the water and frowned.
Seconds ticked by.
Daniel had been silently calculating the time.
Ten minutes later.
Daniel couldn’t keep his cool anymore.
“It’s been so long. Why hasn’t she come up yet? Should we send someone down to look for her?” Daniel turned to look at Simon beside him.
Although Daniel did not know this person before, he came with Miss Bailey so he must be either her family or friend.
Simon stared at the dark lake in front of him and suddenly said, “Get me a diving suit too.”
“I’ll… Huh? What did you just say? Don’t tell me you’re going down there too.” Daniel thought that he had agreed to let someone go down to search for
her.
Just as he was about to call for help, he suddenly realized what Simon meant by saying that.
“Get me one immediately!” Simon’s tone became more condescending.
Daniel was speechless.
Did these two all treat him as a subordinate or something?
For God’s sake, he was the captain of the criminal police team after all.
How did he become like a minion here?
However, this man’s aura was not something ordinary people could have.
Daniel did not ask more. He was about to call someone to send another diving suit over.
There was a sudden movement on the surface of the lake.
Simon immediately walked forward.
The next moment, Marina emerged from the water.
Simon immediately held her up.
“How is it? Are you alright?” Simon stared at Marina nervously.
The water was freezing at night. In addition, the deeper the water, the greater the water pressure.
The longer she stayed down there, the more uncomfortable she would get.
Marina took off the respiratory mask on her face.
“I’ve found the place where the car sank and I’ve already marked it,” Marina said.
“Really? You actually found it?” A hint of surprise flashed across Daniel’s eyes.
There were no surveillance cameras nearby, so they could only determine where the car had sunken on the traces on the bridge.
The current was quite rapid, so it was very likely that the car would be washed downstream.
In addition, it was very difficult to search for the car at this time. They searched several times but could not find the exact location of the car.
Unexpectedly, Marina found it on her first trip into the water.
“I did a preliminary check on the car. The car window was smashed, and there was no one inside. He should have escaped when he fell into the water,” Marina explained.
“Then I’ll immediately get someone to increase the search effort and search downstream,” Daniel said firmly.
“Okay.” Marina nodded.
“Go change your clothes first.” Simon was not interested in the car or the person in it.
He was only worried about Marina’s well–being.
Marina glanced at Simon and finally nodded. She followed him back to the car to change.
By the time Marina changed her clothes, Oscar had already arrived.
“Miss, our people have already been sent out. We should be able to find Mr. Jeffery’s whereabouts very soon.”
Marina nodded, but she still had a worried look on her face.
Because there was one more thing she had not told Daniel.
That was, she had found traces of a fight in the car.
Jeffery must have had a fight with someone before the accident.
Just as she thought, this car accident was not an accident at all!
Marina did not get out of the car after changing her clothes. She picked up the computer beside her and began to check the surveillance cameras along the way.
Daniel was right. The surveillance cameras along the way were under repair. There were no records at all.
Marina could only enlarge the scope of the surveillance.
Finally, they found Jeffery’s car on the surveillance video two kilometers away.
However, the car was a little far away in this surveillance footage.
Marina could not see what was going on in the car clearly.
However, it was certain that there was another person sitting in the front passenger seat.
Previously, she had heard from the people at the alley that Jeffery went out alone.
Then why was there an extra person in the passenger seat?
However, that person’s head was completely blocked by the car. No matter how capable Marina was, she could not restore the image of that person’s face through the car.
However, from that person’s figure, it could be seen that it was a woman.
And it should be a young woman.
Ever since that incident, Jeffery had never had another woman sitting in his front passenger seat.
Who was this person?
Marina’s eyes darkened.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ve already sent some people to investigate this matter. As long as Jeffery is still alive, we would eventually get something soon,” Simon, who was standing beside her, said.
“He must still be alive!” Marina said firmly.
Seeing her like this, Simon’s dark eyes
narrowed.
Did she really care so much about Jeffery?
Meanwhile, Marina did not seem to notice anything wrong with Simon. She took out her phone and dialed a number that she had not called for a long
time.
The call was picked up immediately.
“Help me find someone!” Marina did not waste any time and said straightforwardly.
