The Wrong Woman
Chapter 748

The police had been working on a crackdown for a month and finally succeeded today. They found a significant drug cultivation site in the mountains, along with raw materials, and confiscated two tons of illicit goods.

Daniel was swamped dealing with the situation.

Meanwhile, Clement had been caught by the authorities. He was the investor of the film and TV production base.

Clement stayed quiet, not uttering a single word. He couldn't get out on bail even with his lawyer's efforts. He sat in a small cell of the interrogation room.

Daniel urged, "Clement, it's time to tell the truth. Keeping silent won't do you any favors. Even if you don't speak up, the evidence we're collecting will lead to your conviction."

Clement smiled, not showing any sign of panic. He remained calm and collected. Despite the police's persistent questioning, he refused to speak.

Suddenly, Finley swung open the door to the interrogation room and called out, "Captain Morrison, could you step out for a moment?"

As Daniel was about to leave, Clement spoke unexpectedly, "Daniel, I'm just a regular investor. I have no involvement with drugs. You have to release me."

Daniel's expression darkened as he turned back to Clement.

In return, Clement smirked, his demeanor icy.

The moment when Daniel exited and shut the door, Finley anxiously said, "Captain Morrison, Felix is here to report something."

"Felix?" Daniel's brow furrowed with concern.

Finley nodded.

Daniel hurried outside, visibly flustered. "What's happened?"

"His sister is missing."

As Finley finished, Daniel dashed off in a hurry. He pulled out his phone from his pocket while running and finally switched on the device he had kept off all day. Missed calls and messages flooded in, including some from Felix.

Daniel panted slightly, his expression grave as he reached the police reporting area.

Felix rose from his seat upon spotting Daniel, seeming even more distressed. "Captain Morrison-"

Daniel was frantic. "What's happened to Sienna?"

Felix looked at Daniel with teary eyes, his voice trembling as he explained, "Sienna went out this morning to buy groceries and hasn't returned. Her electric scooter is left abandoned by the roadside, but there's no sign of her "

A nearby officer interjected, "Captain Morrison, we've just retrieved some surveillance footage. Take a look."

Daniel approached the computer, leaning forward with his hands flat on the desk, his eyes revealing his profound worry. Anxious lines etched his face as he stared at the screen.

It had been ten hours since Sienna disappeared.

Turning to Felix, Daniel asked, "Any ransom calls?"

Felix shook his head, his expression somber. "My mom's already aware of Sienna's disappearance, and she's emotionally distraught. She's been in tears at home."

Daniel stood upright and demanded with fury, "Why wait until now to report it?"

Felix's guilt gnawed at him as he stammered, "S-Sienna was gone for half of the day. I figured she'd gone out for some fun and would be back later, so I didn't think anything of it.

"But then, in the evening, our neighbor rushed over in a panic, telling us she'd found Sienna's electric scooter abandoned by the roadside. She noticed Sienna's key was still attached when she held up the scooter. That's when I realized I needed to report it."

Daniel felt both frustrated and sad. He pressed his hand against his forehead, feeling speechless at Felix's actions.

Sienna was usually composed and reserved. Daniel couldn't understand how Felix could assume she was out enjoying herself when she had actually disappeared while on a simple grocery run.
