She Stuns the World - Chapter 177: Chapter 177

Rufus said, "This brat is quite talented. He is also tight-lipped. I'm wondering if I should use another method to force a confession out of him."
Athena replied, "Let me do it. Is his phone and computer here? Maybe I can hack in and find conversations between him and his client."
Rufus shook his head. "The brat is ruthless. He threw his phone into the river while escaping and refused to tell us where he lived."
Athena asked again, "Does he have a bag? Did you find anything valuable on him?"
Rufus shook his head again. "We searched him but found nothing." At this point, he slapped his forehead and laughed. "I almost forgot to tell you. This guy is a hardcore fan of yours."
A bunch of question marks appeared in Athena's mind. "What fan? I'm sure I don't know him. There's a high chance he doesn't know me either."
"Look at this." Rufus excitedly picked up a book from the countertop. "Looks familiar, doesn't it?"
Athena took a look. Her eyes widened as she thought, 'Holy shit. It's "The Case Chronicles of Detective Lockwood Holmes"?'
Moreover, it was self-printed and bound. It looked very worn too. Athena wondered how many times it had been read.
Wulfric smiled, "We found this precious on him. He said Lockwood is his only idol. He also said he was going to be a private detective like Lockwood. Doesn't that sound interesting? How would he react if he knew you were the protagonist and author of this book?"
Athena's gaze darted. She sighed inwardly. When she was younger and still immature, she secretly wrote detective novels online. She even called herself Lockwood Holmes and had a large number of fans. Now that she thought about it, it was quite embarrassing.
Even so, Athena took the book, opened the glass door, and walked into the interrogation room. "You guys can leave."
The two thugs left respectfully.
Athena squatted in front of Daniel, who was beaten until he was weak. She waved the book. "You are always doing illegal stuff. Are you worthy of being a fan of Lockwood? If Lockwood finds out about you, you'll have your ass kicked, trust me."
Daniel lay on the ground limply. His face was red as he said, "I-I did steal a lot, but I only stole from rich people. I've never stolen from the poor. I-I even used the money I stole to help many poor people and secretly sponsor their children to go to school."
"Are you proud of yourself then? You think you're a hero, don't you?" Athena sneered. "How do you know that the rich people you steal from are bad? How do you know the poor you help are good?"
Daniel choked and argued, "I can't be sure, but it's definitely not a big loss for the rich. I didn't harm anyone."
Athena snorted. "You're still trying to defend yourself? Let me ask you, when you sneaked into Vlento Court and took photos of the Donovan family's apartment, were they rich? Did they do anything bad?
"Do you know how much trouble you caused the Donovan family after the photos and videos you secretly took were made public? They couldn't even go out to work. Isn't that harm?"
"W-well..." Daniel stammered, not daring to look into Athena's eyes, "I don't know the Donovan family. I didn't do it."
Athena said, "Do you know how many years you'll be sentenced for trespassing?"
Daniel shouted, "Don't even think about slandering me. There are very few surveillance cameras in Vlento Court. You can't prove I trespassed into the Donovan family's apartment."
Athena was speechless. Daniel was even more cunning than she had imagined. it was to be expected of a veteran who had been sent to prison many times.
