Chapter 1701

Lucas was confused to hear this.

Joshua had been saying the same thing for the whole day, whether to Cheryl’s parents, Jim, or even
the police.

He had claimed that if Luna refused to return to Banyan City with him, he would let Luna be imprisoned
forever.

He would not let her out or give her even a small taste of freedom until the Landry and Quinn families
were destroyed.

All of a sudden, Joshua was saying that he would not let Luna be imprisoned indefinitely for his benefit.

Glancing at Lucas’ puzzled look, Joshua narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice, “Luna is just one
of the suspects in this murder.

“Even the security guards who witnessed this only saw Cheryl choking Luna before she died,
demanding to know why she wanted to kill her, none of them saw Luna assaulting her. She merely
struggled, and she didn’t even fight back.

“On top of that, the cops have found a fingerprint that didn’t belong to Luna on the murder weapon.
Because of this, everyone knows that there is another suspect out there.”

With that, he curled his lips into a smirk and said, “What would you do after Luna was brought into jail if
you were the murderer?”

Lucas fell silent for a moment, then suddenly came to a realization. “If I were the murderer, I’d be
keeping a close eye on the investigation progress of this case.



“If the police and the victim’s family all insist that Luna is the murderer, then I will act as though nothing
had happened…

“However, if they were to come after me, I’ll leave Merchant City immediately!”

Joshua smiled when he heard this. “You’re getting cleverer now.”
