Chapter 635: Chapter 597: Clue Chapter 635: Chapter 597: Clue “Had it been someone else, would they have already been coerced into confessing?”
This remark by Rocky suddenly enlightened Monte; indeed! He had been so ruthless; if Xini were just an ordinary citizen, even if wrongly accused, it’s possible he might have been coerced into confessing by now, especially when compared to being tortured to death here, dying could seem the easier option.
Yet, the reality is quite the opposite. Faced with relentless interrogation, Xini not only endured but also consistently insisted on his innocence, which in itself was suspicious!
“Keep questioning him; I’ve already sent Lin Feng to investigate, and he will notify you once he discovers anything.”
After reminding Monte, Rocky slowly spoke, and he didn’t forget to add, “But remember, don’t let him die before the truth is clarified.”

Though a significant issue had arisen in his own backyard, Rocky couldn’t let his other responsibilities slide, especially not now.

Facing Rocky’s question, Lin Feng awkwardly shook his head, unable to identify something that not even Rocky could.
“Alright, you may leave.”
With a wave of his hand at Lin Feng, Rocky dismissed him, then toyed with the ‘coin’ in his hand for a while before heading to the research facility and finding Orton and others.
“Teacher, this was found in Xini’s house; take a look, what is this thing?”
Upon seeing Orton and the others, Rocky brought out the ‘coin,’ handing it to Orton, who had barely begun to examine it when Pelaya snatched it right out of his hands!
With a furrowed brow, Pelaya held the ‘coin’ in her hand, then fixed Rocky with a troubled gaze: “Rocky, you said this was found in that thief’s house?”
