Chapter 370: Chapter 377 Helen Wilson’s Discovery

Grace Lopez naturally had no objections to Emily Lopez attending such an event. She didn’t support Emily going out in the past because Emily always hung out with those alternative youths.

"My dear sister, can I borrow your brother-in-law for a while tomorrow?" Emily Lopez swayed Gina Lopez’s arm, displaying a flattering look.

Gina Lopez hesitated for a moment and said, "It’s an activity organized by your school, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for your brother-in-law to go with you?"

Emily Lopez immediately responded, "Emily Smith already said that partners are allowed."

Only then Gina Lopez said, "Well, let your brother-in-law go with you. Didn’t you say you had a man you were quite fond of yourself? Why not bring him along?"

Emily Lopez giggled and said, "I don’t fancy him anymore, I’ve long since kicked him to the curb."

Gina Lopez gave Emily Lopez a look and said, "I knew you were just fooling mom."

Emily Lopez proudly said, "I don’t have your skills. First, you brought a fake brother-in-law home, and then you actually made him your real brother-in-law. I need to be sure before I bring someone home."

At this moment, James Brown called them both to eat. As they reached the dining table, Emily Lopez said excitedly, "Brother-in-law, my sister agreed, you’re coming with me tomorrow."

James Brown said with a chuckle, "Sure, when Emily commands, I dare not disobey."

Now, being with Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez, James Brown truly felt a sense of home, and their conversations were quite casual.

That night, while James Brown and Gina Lopez were getting intimate, James Brown thought to get a condom, but found that the condoms they bought yesterday were missing, so he asked Gina Lopez, "Did you put away the condoms I bought yesterday?"

Although Gina Lopez was fine with being intimate with James Brown, she still felt a bit embarrassed to speak directly about such things. Blushing, she said, "Yesterday, you only brought the medicine back, I didn’t see the... condoms you mentioned."

After thinking for a bit, James Brown said, "They must have dropped on the way."

At that moment, Gina Lopez was emotionally aroused by James Brown and lightly pushed him, saying, "If it’s lost, it’s lost, we can buy more tomorrow. For tonight... I’ve got the pill."

James Brown certainly wasn’t going to fret over a lost box of condoms, and, in fact, it felt even better without a condom. He used the condom rather than the pills mainly for Gina Lopez’s health, as medication can be harmful, and consistently taking contraceptive pills isn’t good for the body.

While James Brown didn’t notice the lost box of condoms, Helen Wilson had her suspicions and had sent that very box to the technical department at the T District, asking them to perform a fingerprint analysis.

If it belonged to the Mysterious Figure, his fingerprints would surely be on it, and by comparing them with those in the fingerprint database, they might be able to identify the true identity of the Mysterious Figure.

Helen Wilson always felt that the Mysterious Figure must have a normal identity. Since he was in YODC City, he couldn’t possibly live without eating or drinking. Helen Wilson was determined to find out who he normally was.

However, Helen Wilson hadn’t disclosed this to anyone, nor had she reported it. If the identity of the Mysterious Figure was exposed, it could potentially affect his life. Besides, the Mysterious Figure had killed someone, and finding his true identity could be problematic.

As the Mysterious Figure, it seemed he needn’t bear legal responsibility, but as an ordinary person, he would have to face legal accountability. Despite knowing that what the Mysterious Figure did was wrong, Helen Wilson did not want to arrest him since he’d helped her so much.

Fingerprint analysis was not a particularly difficult task. The technicians extracted the fingerprints from the box and entered them into the computer for comparison.

But the results were somewhat surprising yet comforting for Helen Wilson, as they didn’t match the fingerprints of the Mysterious Figure.

Although SSUP Country had a fingerprint database, not everyone’s fingerprints were stored there; it was a massive foundational project. Fingerprint comparisons usually involved matching prints from a crime scene with those of a suspect, in addition to those of people with criminal records.

Failure to extract fingerprints meant that the Mysterious Figure had no prior record, at least proving he was someone with a clean background.

Helen Wilson instructed the technicians to delete the extracted fingerprints and not keep them in the database, yet she herself retained a backup copy.

Helen Wilson had been helped by the Mysterious Figure several times, each time at her most critical moments. Either the Mysterious Figure had been secretly following her at all times, or he was someone very familiar to her, which would explain his timely appearances. Therefore, Helen Wilson wanted to stealthily collect fingerprints from those around her to see if they belonged to the Mysterious Figure.

Thinking carefully about the people around her, Helen Wilson’s first thought was actually of James Brown. Even though the Mysterious Figure’s features were completely different from James Brown’s, their build and silhouette were quite similar. Plus, James Brown was pretty tough, and most importantly, Helen Wilson still did not know how skilled James Brown truly was.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized it was possible. Helen Wilson was truly indescribable with excitement. If James Brown really was that Mysterious Figure, then the nature of their relationship explained why he helped her—it all made perfect sense.

James Brown had stayed in her house many times, and in that moment, Helen Wilson demonstrated the qualities of a police officer as she started looking for James Brown’s fingerprints in her own home.

However, it had been quite some days since James Brown last came to her place, and even if there were fingerprints left before, they would have been mostly obscured by now. It was indeed difficult to find a suitable fingerprint at this moment.

Pulling out her phone, Helen Wilson didn’t care whether James Brown was asleep or not; she directly called him.

At that moment, James Brown was deeply engaged in the most intimate act with Gina Lopez, hence the ring of the phone seemed particularly grating.

Initially intending to ignore it, Gina Lopez reached out to grab the phone from the nightstand, glanced at the caller ID, and snorted, saying, "It’s your cop lover calling."

Before James Brown was truly married to Gina Lopez, he had mentioned having a relationship with Helen Wilson—intending to push Gina away. Now, however, it became leverage against him. He could only respond with a sheepish chuckle and say, "That’s all in the past, let’s continue."

Gina Lopez, unamused, answered the call and then held the phone to James Brown’s ear. James Brown was momentarily speechless and could only say, "Officer Monaghan, what do you need at this late hour, I’m asleep."

However, Helen Wilson was too impatient and urged, "James Brown, come over to my place right now."

"Let’s not, what time is it anyway? What could you possibly need, ma’am?" he thought to himself, secretly praying that this lady would not say anything out of line.

"What else could I need from you? I’m lonely by myself; I want you to come over and keep me company."

James Brown immediately felt Gina Lopez’s fierce glare and a sharp pain in his waist. He chuckled dryly, trying to cover it up, and said, "It’s the middle of the night, it’s not good for us to be alone together like this."

Under normal circumstances, Helen Wilson would have understood that someone was with James Brown, but at that moment, she was so desperate to get his fingerprints that she paid no attention to the subtext in James Brown’s words, and snapped, "Perfect for you to take advantage of me, huh? James Brown, you’ve been with me and I haven’t made you take responsibility. Now that I’m asking you to come over, do you dare not come?"

James Brown’s face darkened at her words; her statement was something he couldn’t just gloss over. Clenching his teeth, he had no choice but to say, "Helen Wilson, let’s not bring up the past, okay? I’ve... I’m already married to Gina now."

"So what if you’re married? I don’t care whether you are married or not. If I tell you to come over, you come over... What? Did you say you’re married?" Helen Wilson was exerting her dominance, her tone suddenly shooting up several octaves.

The piercing voice nearly deafened James Brown, and he had to pull the phone away; only when Helen Wilson’s shouting stopped did he put the phone back to his ear and say, "Helen Wilson, seriously, I’m with Gina right now, and... we’ve already gone to bed, I really can’t come over."

"Beep beep..." Suddenly, the line went dead—Helen Wilson had hung up abruptly.

"Wow, she’s calling you in the middle of the night, seems like you two are on pretty good terms," Gina Lopez remarked with narrow eyes and a smile, although her sharp gaze made James Brown sweat nervously.

"Gina, you know about Helen Wilson and me; can we not dwell on the past?"

"I haven’t dwelled on your past, but what’s this about now?"

"This... haven’t I just made it clear to her?"

"Oh really? But why do I feel like someone hasn’t been very firm in his statement?"

James Brown let out a heh-heh and said, "Wife, it’s not that I’m not firm; it’s just Helen Wilson and I are on good terms. Even if we can’t be lovers, we can still be friends, no need to make it so stiff, right?"

"Oh please, I bet you just want to keep a backup option. Inside the home the red flag stands, outside, colorful banners wave in the wind."

Immediately sitting upright, James Brown said, "I am not that kind of person. Having a wife like Gina is more than enough for me." As he spoke, his hands began to caress Gina’s body, his movements restless and eager.

Although they hadn’t separated even while on the phone, James’s actions quickly overwhelmed Gina. She had barely experienced this sensation and had no resistance to it. "You jerk, don’t think that by doing this... I will let you off the hook... Bastard, mm..."

Using all his skills, James Brown brought Gina to the peak repeatedly, and for a woman newly wed like her, she stood no chance against his techniques. Finally, when James Brown stopped, Gina was left utterly limp and powerless, closing her eyes and swiftly falling into sleep.

This way, at least for the moment, James Brown averted Gina’s probing about Helen Wilson, although it was quite exhausting for him. If not for his exceptional stamina, he would have been worn out by now. Holding Gina, he too quickly fell into sleep.
