Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1299 - Chapter 1299 Chapter 1271 Thinking Along the Same Lines

Chapter 1299: Chapter 1271 Thinking Along the Same Lines Chapter 1299: Chapter 1271 Thinking Along the Same Lines Kiara’s mother had already gone back to take care of Olivia. Mother Yuno was still in the other room with the baby, and it wouldn’t be good for the Elder to hear this.

Suppressing her anger, Kiara lowered her voice and asked.

“Why!”

“Because according to an authoritative assessment… he was not capable of civil conduct at the time he committed the act, including his current mental state, which is also abnormal. In plain terms, he’s gone crazy.”

“F*ck! Which incompetent authority made that assessment– wait, it wasn’t Giorno, was it?” Kiara suddenly remembered that Giorno was in charge of these matters.

Mario Yuno nodded somewhat helplessly, “It was indeed your Giorno and a few of his colleagues who made the assessment together.”

“Nonsense! ‘Together’ adds what to the assessment? I study this field; how could I not know if he was capable of civil conduct or not? He clearly knew what was happening at that time; he remembered Arlong; he remembered past events, but he was just extremely biased against me. Is that what schizophrenia is? Give me the phone; I’m going to call Giorno!”

After saying this, Kiara didn’t care what time it was; she picked up the phone and called Giorno right away.

Giorno was at the Hospital at the moment. Olivia’s due date had passed by a week with no signs of childbirth, so he had her admitted out of fear of complications. Kiara’s mother and the others were also keeping her company.

“Daniel Johnson, did you make the assessment on Rico Clark? Are you sure it’s schizophrenia?!” Kiara reprimanded him heatedly.

Giorno glanced at Olivia lying on the hospital bed, then stood up and walked into the hallway before speaking.

“I assessed him, Kiara. When he was caught, his behavior was very abnormal. Of course, we wouldn’t judge based just on appearances; we performed tests, and the levels of dihydrotestosterone in his blood and urine were different from those of a normal person.”

“Impossible! As the person involved, I have the most say, and his reactions at the time were not symptoms of schizophrenia, he–”

Before Kiara could finish, she heard her own mother’s loud voice yelling through the phone.

“Giorno, hurry, Olivia seems to be giving birth!”

“Kiara, after I give birth, I mean, after Olivia gives birth, I’ll talk to you about it, okay!”

Giorno quickly hung up the phone, and only then did Kiara remember that they were in the midst of childbirth over there.

Her due date had been around the same time as Olivia’s, but she had given birth early, while Olivia was overdue, so their births just missed each other.

“Let’s go, let’s visit the Hospital.” Kiara thought about going to see for herself, but Edward Wheeler pulled her back.

“Let’s go tomorrow during the day. Right now, we can’t help much, and if our baby needs to breastfeed and can’t find you, that won’t be good either.”

Kiara thought about it and realized he was right; visiting now would just be a fleeting look. It would be better to wait until tomorrow to visit and she could also spend some time with the baby.

So she shifted her focus back to Rico. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

“Can I see him? Has that guy genuinely become schizophrenic?”

“Seeing him now won’t be very meaningful; he doesn’t recognize anyone anymore. But daughter-in-law, you must be prepared. Although you say he was lucid at the time, one person’s testimony doesn’t carry much weight. Based on the physical evidence we’ve gathered, he indeed has schizophrenia.”

Mario Yuno also found this matter somewhat unbelievable.

When he went to save Kiara, Rico’s reactions really made it hard to determine whether it was a mental disorder. But once the man was captured, speaking nonsense and undergoing various tests that turned out abnormal, the only explanation was that he had gone mad on the way.

“He didn’t have a family history of psychiatric illness and was always the most cautious and selfish person. How could someone like that suddenly develop a mental illness?” Kiara also felt there was an indescribable eeriness about this.

“It doesn’t matter. Even if he doesn’t face legal punishment, it doesn’t mean he can be released to endanger the public. Such a person will be subject to forced treatment and is likely to spend the rest of his life in a psychiatric hospital.”

Kiara fell silent for a long time after hearing this. Thinking she was troubled, Mario Yuno offered consolation.

“No matter where he is, he won’t be able to have any further involvement with us in the future. You shouldn’t expend too much energy thinking about such a person.”

Kiara shook her head.

“It’s not that I want him dead, I just feel there is something odd about this. If he was already insane, how could he have targeted and blocked me so deliberately? And his car, tools, even the device that jammed the mobile phone signals–where did those come from? Without someone funding him, a destitute gambler with cancer wouldn’t have the means to commit the crime. I think…”

“You think he was used by someone, treated as a pawn to go after you. Once he was caught, this pawn was discarded, rendered useless by whoever was behind it?”

Mario Yuno made an accurate summary, and Kiara nodded.

That’s exactly what she thought.

Coincidentally, Mario Yuno and Kiara had reached the same conclusion.

He had been following this line of thought in his investigation for the past few days, starting with the origin of the car and the equipment. Alas, there had been no progress.

Now that Kiara had brought it up directly, the couple was well-positioned to discuss it.

“I’ve looked into the car. It changed hands formally a week ago, with all legitimate procedures. Rico Clark’s account showed no anomalies. The money for the car purchase was likely a cash transaction, deliberately made to avoid leaving any transfer records for us to trace.”

With this in mind, the man who took Rico Clark away could very well be the mastermind behind the scenes.

Rico Clark was now insane, babbling illogically, making it harder than climbing to heaven to extract any clues from him. No one knew what had happened during those missing months.

This lead had gone cold, so Mario Yuno investigated from the perspective of the adversary’s motive, wanting to find out who his daughter-in-law had offended and who was so determined to see her dead.

But this line of inquiry also reached a dead end. Ever since Kiara became pregnant, she nearly stopped taking assignments. The assignments Yuzo Joel arranged for her were all simple child-oriented games, which couldn’t possibly offend anyone.

Those who she might have offended in the past were analyzed one-by-one by Mario Yuno, but again, no progress was made.

He conducted these investigations in secret, based on his own conjectures, as he believed that reporting to the authorities would only disrupt Kiara’s life and wouldn’t be more efficient than his own efforts. He didn’t want Kiara’s postpartum confinement to be disturbed and kept his actions covert.

Now that Kiara had finished her confinement, he could analyze everything with her one by one. Kiara, after listening, was also puzzled.

“Did you ever start from Rico Clark’s neighbors? Didn’t his neighbor claim to have seen the young man who took Rico Clark away? Has anyone been asked to draw a portrait?”

“So much time has passed, how could they possibly remember? Human memory is limited–” Mario Yuno suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and Kiara’s eyes sparkled. They looked at each other and smiled simultaneously.

“How could I have forgotten about you,” Mario Yuno laughed. Human memory is limited, but his daughter-in-law can hypnotize!

“I’ll find time to go back and see if I can extract their memories. It’s difficult to retrieve such fleeting details, but it’s always better to try than not. This is our last lead.”

Once they settled on a time to go back, Mario Yuno remembered something else.

“Have you mentioned the issue with the tampered hard drive to your master?”
