ONE

Three days ago~   The tension in the investigation room was sickening. Several people shouted loudly, pointing at the pile of papers lying on the table. Five people in investigator uniforms entered the room several times to deliver some evidence that had been secured from the shooting scene. There is a 9 mm caliber pistol wrapped in a clear adhesive plastic which is positioned on the main table. The gun is a murder weapon. At least that's what the investigative team said today, walking in and out of the room with various items brought from the Duffal family's stately home. In addition to the 9 mm pistol, there is also a bloodstained handkerchief which has now turned brown. The shooting took place yesterday afternoon at seven o'clock, just as the billionaire's family was about to have a traditional family dinner. Unfortunately before the head of the family could sit in his chair, someone named Calvin McAdam suddenly burst

TWO

Many greeted Hazel as she strode down aisle after aisle of the bustling prosecutor's office. The news of the murder of the billionaire family practically made all the prosecutors busy gathering evidence. This morning Hazel also had the chance to see the news about the mayor shouting to the media that he wanted the killer of the billionaire family to be caught immediately. The public is now anxiously awaiting the judgment for the defendant which will be carried out tomorrow morning. Several colleagues who knew about tomorrow's trial specifically contacted her and asked her to give Calvin McAdam a proper sentence. Some even directly ordered him to be sentenced to death. The door at the far end of the room was pulled violently from the inside. A tall man with a body that is not too bulky, came out of the room in a condition that could not be said to be fine. His slender body and sunken eyeballs gave off a terrifying gloom, like he was one of the unhappy male characters in a hor

THREE

The door to the cramped elevator was about to close before the toe of someone's shoe stopped it and caused the elevator door to open again. "Hi." Rick greeted Hazel kindly and got into the elevator with Hazel, who immediately leaned closer to the elevator wall. Several people who saw Rick enter openly voiced protests that Rick was making the elevator even more crowded. But Rick's thick face was completely unfazed by whatever protest was being carried out for his actions just now. "How are you?" Rick started the small talk with a smile on his face. "I'm fine, Rick. You don't have to worry about me. " "In fact, I'm always worried about you. Since you moved out of my apartment two months ago, I haven't stopped to think about some of your carelessness." Hazel glanced slightly at the people who were listening to their conversation. Even though she seemed to pretend to be busy with her cellphone, she knew that some people in the elevator wer

"Mommy..." Hazel still remained where she was, glancing warily at little Emily who was standing near the open door of her bedroom hugging Mr. Bunny. Calvin's piercing eyes in the darkness gleamed like the eyes of a hungry cat. No! Hazel screamed inwardly, screaming Emily's name for the little girl to run away for help. From her standing position, the little girl certainly couldn't see the threat from the presence of a foreign man who was now ensnaring her mother's body. “This gun can crush that kid's head if you don't act wise, Judge Hayes. Now stay here, and let me get rid of that nuisance rat.” Hazel tried to hold Calvin's hand still hanging over her head. Through her face, Hazel made a deep plea for Calvin not to hurt her little Emily. She tried to grab the man's hand. The sting that tickled her stomach made her gasp for a moment. But she assumed she wasn't the only one who felt a shock like an electric shock. She could see the man's pupils dilate

FIVE

  Richmond walked unsteadily into his dark-looking house. All day he did a lot of emotional work. Many parties in the prosecutor's office are concerned about the murder of the Duffal family. He thought, why do they take care of people who have died, even fuss over their abundant wealth. Richmond felt like stuffing their mouths one by one as they started arguing near his ringing ears. Today he had a terrible headache. His brain, which had been forced to work for almost twenty-four hours, made him experience nervous tension in the back of his head, causing his head to throb with pain. "You're home." The flat greeting from his wife was something he was very familiar with. Their marriage is already on the line. However, he is still grateful for his wife's decision, which until now has not sent a divorce letter. The specter of children who have always been their problem. Somehow his wife was demanding too much on him to do this and that close

"What?" asked Hazel in surprise. She was still busy in her thoughts when the man suddenly said something nearby."Stand up. What time is it now?"“Four,” Hazel said angrily. She had lost her precious rest time because of that man. And don't know what will happen when the sun starts to appear. What is clear is that she cannot continue like this and become the man's puppet. She had to run away."Don't touch my hand!"Calvin ignored her screams. The man kept pulling her, half dragging her to her feet. And she was quite exhausted when she walked after the man because her bare feet stepped on a lot of papers. After this she had to spend hours of her time cleaning up all the mess Calvin had made. Really damn-troublesome guy."We still have time.""What time?" Hazel asked cluelessly."You'll find out later."Calvin forcibly grabbed Hazel's biceps and pushed her out of her study. The lights in the living room were not turne

SEVEN

The first-class prison building is being shaken by the escape of the dangerous prisoner, Calvin McAdam, from one of the cells that is claimed to be a special cell that has the most advanced security level. The pride of the police is now the same as being dropped by Calvin, who in fact is just a driver. The high-ranking police officers then held a meeting to immediately arrest the prisoner, whose whereabouts are still unknown.“Journalists have been swarming around like ants who have just gotten a lump of sugar. They are busy broadcasting in front of the building to pry into the depravity that has occurred in this prison.”One of the top police officers shouted angrily, scolding all the night shift cops who were incompetent at their jobs, causing one prisoner to escape.Richmond was in the center of the crowd, watching everyone blaming each other without anyone moving to quickly find Calvin. Now he was furious. His job will be even harder with Calvin'

"Tell me exactly what is going on right now." Hazel urged impatiently. But she kept glancing back to make sure Emily was busy in her imaginary world. Fortunately, the child watched too much of the Dora the Explorer series, so when she bragged about this escape and said that they were looking for treasures such as Dora and Boots, the girl immediately believed, even more enthusiastic than herself who had been hit by a severe panic. . "Jane texted me." Calvin suddenly pulled out one of the drawers on the dashboard of the car and pulled out a black cell phone. “This is the message Jane sent minutes before her death. She seems to have had a bad feeling about it, so she asked me to take Zinny as far away from the house as possible." "You have a cell phone?" Hazel looked amazed before she read the hastily typed words by Jane Duffal. “I kept this phone on purpose just in case you still doubt me.” “I do doubt you,” Hazel said quickly. Just as she was about to

Hazel was just about to bombard the man with questions running through her mind when he suddenly threw her white cell phone vibrating in her lap and told her to pick up Rick's call immediately.“Ask what you need to ask. Now!" Calvin growled emphatically. Despite her hesitation, Hazel finally picked up the call and immediately connected to Rick who sounded worried on the other end.“Oh my God, Hazel!”Hazel pushed her phone away slightly as Rick's loud voice made a slight ringing in her ears. Next to her, Calvin seemed to be listening intently as he occasionally glanced at her."Where are you? Did that guy hostage you? Are you hurt?”The rain of questions from Rick didn't necessarily make her feel touched, on the contrary, she felt discomfy with a man who was too overbearing like Rick."No, he didn't hurt me." Hazel glanced slightly at Calvin with a look that implied you should be thanking me for not making your b
