Wayne stood with a cigarette between his fingertips, looking utterly perplexed as Officer Philip walked past him.
By the time he snapped out of it, he hurriedly caught up, muttering with a self-important tone, “Officer Philip, this case is far from ordinary. Perhaps we can use this opportunity to apprehend the elusive ‘Black' who has been on the run for three years. I suggest we request approval from higher-ups...”
As soon as he entered the room, he witnessed Officer Philip himself removing the handcuffs from Cynthia Shannon.
His brows furrowed in a pained manner, his tone apologetic, “Cynthia, uncle arrived late. I'm sorry you had to go through this.”
The interrogation team, “???”
Standing at the doorway, Wayne, “!!!”

It's true that Officer Philip wasn't exactly Cynthia's uncle, but he was Jacob Quinn's uncle from his mother's side.
