While I was engaging in conversation with Chief Jefferson, she showed up with Silas in tow! He wore a white shirt with the hem perfectly tucked into his suit pants, giving him a tall and upright appearance. Despite wearing glasses, he looked cultured and elegant. But behind the lenses, his eyes were sharp and resolute, like a hero bravely confronting the truth.
Seeing him, the words "under the principle of justice, righteousness is immortal" unconsciously floated through my mind. I felt deeply moved, touched that I was worthy of someone's unwavering support. Yasmine rushed to my side and pulledup from the chair, asking, "Are you okay?" I shook my head, instinctively looking for Silas' gaze. But he didn't focus on me. Instead, he spoke directly to Chief Jefferson about bailingout.
Unexpectedly, Chief Jefferson as very courteous to him. His tone changed as he said, "Mr. Harmon, if you had toldearlier that you knew Ms. Jones, a phone call would have sufficed. There was no need for you to cin person." For someone to becthe chief of a police station, they must have had both achievements and connections and surely be a shrewd individual.
This was the first tI heard Chief Jefferson call"Ms. Jones", Unfortunately, he miscalculated. My relationship with Silas wasn't that deep.

I recalled how, back in school, our teachers would tell us that a single punctuation mark\could change the meaning of a sentence, emphasizing the importance of precision. Silas' voice pulledout of my thoughts. "I'll also be involved in investigating this case. If there are any updates, I'll communicate with Chief Jefferson."
Chief Jefferson courteously escorted us to the door, where, to our surprise, Nicholas' car was parked neatly outside. It had started@rizzling, and Nicholas was leaning against his car, holding a cigarette. Raindrops clung to his hair and suit, resembling pearls glistening in the night. Despite being drenched by the rain, he exuded an untouchable elegance and a natural nobility simply by standing there.
"Pah! What a joke!" Yasmine spat on the ground, pullingalong. "He was here when we arrived. If he had NO sorted everything earlier, we wouldn't have had to step in. I think he just didn't want to bail you out!" X
