The Invisible Mogul novel Chapter 2156

By the time the others were done, Gerald had just finished his roasted chicken.

Watching as Gerald wiped his hands, Ichiro handed two tissues to the youth before asking, “So… Figured anything out?”

“Hardly. To be completely frank, the information was near useless, so I wasn’t really paying attention. Though I have to say, the roasted chicken is pretty good, so you guys should eat it while it’s hot,” replied Gerald as he wiped his mouth.

“You…!” growled the other investigators, clearly annoyed that Gerald was just dissing on all their hard work. What a waste of breath!

“What’s wrong?” asked Ichiro.

“Don’t worry, it’s nothing major. Regardless, you guys should start investigating the hotels around the training ground. I advise you to register every non-Japanese staying in the vicinity! Believe me when I say that that’s the only information that’s going to be useful for now!” replied Gerald as he waved his hand.

“Do you honestly think that we haven’t already investigated the surrounding area? Also, all the foreigners?

“From what we’ve gathered, the person is around six feet tall and has a rather sturdy-looking figure. Aside from that, his footprints were size twelve… As I’ve previously said, we found nobody who matched the description, which is why we assume that the culprit has left the area,” explained Ichiro.

“Just a thought, but couldn’t the culprit have worn platform shoes? Also, it’s easy to look sturdy if you have piles of clothes on. As for the shoe size, couldn’t the murderer just have worn larger shoes?” asked Gerald in between chews.

“…That…” muttered the stupefied Ichiro as his voice momentarily trailed off…
