CHAPTER 191"And, oh, this is good news. Let's forget about the mayor, he'll only comment if we succeed or fail. This is information found by Peter." Everyone was now looking at Peter, and Peter lifted his face proudly. Well, he was indeed a competent and passionate junior detective. "Peter, can you share that information with the people in this room?""Sure, Chief."Peter opened the journal on the table, and then looked at his colleagues in turn. "I looked into the murders of Jason and Jill, and it turns out they both had a similar pattern, killed and then dumped in the water. But what really connects the two of them? The answer is their children."Noel asked, "What happened to Jill and Jason's children? Jill's daughter died poisoned, while Jason's children have not been found until now."Peter nodded his head. "That's right. But as it turns out, Princess Jill and one of Jason's sons, have a congenital disease that requires them to be hospitalized in a pediatric hospital. It's a rare

CHAPTER 192Alicia stood in front of the city cemetery. She stood in a knee-length black dress with long sleeves, black ankle boots that reached her knees, and her black beret. The air wasn't as cold as before, but the wind that surrounded Alicia hit her pale face. Alicia took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily. Her eyes felt hot, water held in the corners of her blue eyes.The cemetery was quite quiet, with only a few people seen visiting their family graves there. Alicia felt there was no need to worry about that. After all, the day was still long, no one would dare to touch her during the day."Mom, how are you doing in there? Is it nice to celebrate Christmas from heaven?"Alicia spoke to the gravestone with Michelle's name on it. It was her mother's grave, next to Edward's. They were Alicia's adoptive parents who had taken care of her since the death of her previous parents. Alicia's journey with her family had not gone well. None of them ended up surviving. There was no happy e

CHAPTER 193"I think it was an accident." Uncle Chuck shrugged his shoulders, then looked at Alicia again. He continued with the words he was supposed to say to calm Alicia down. "You don't have to feel guilty. Who would have guessed that we would see a dead body in the river? It was a cold night, everyone really wouldn't have expected that. And about you being kidnapped, that was also an accident. Ethan was just hit, he's fine. Right, Ethan?"It wasn't a small blow, Ethan wanted to protest. But what he did was Ethan smiled reluctantly. He nodded his head, agreeing with Uncle Chuck's opinion to make Alicia comfortable. "I'm fine, my head is hard as a rock and you can hit it a few times.""That sounds like an exaggeration, Ethan," Alicia said, rolling her eyes lazily. Alicia crossed her arms over her chest, looking at the two men before her in turn. "But I'm serious about this. Last night, when I was kidnapped, he was my ex-boyfriend. His name is Ace, a police fugitive, he escaped from

CHAPTER 194"Alright, our meeting is over for today," Nicholas said.He smiled for a moment, perhaps too quickly for everyone to see. But Nicholas' thoughtful gesture was respected by everyone in the room."Thank you, you may back to your desks," Nicholas said, pointing at Peter. "Except for you, Peter. I want to ask for your report again and double-check it, so stay in, please."Everyone was confused, but after Peter nodded in agreement, everyone left the room.Peter got up from the chair he had been sitting in and moved near Nicholas. The young man was confused because he remembered that all these reports and information had already been given to Nicholas via email, so what else would Nicholas ask for?"Here are my reports-" "No need, Peter."Peter's eyes, adorned with square glasses, looked puzzled. He mumbled, then looked at the folder containing the report he had already emailed in confusion, then back at Nicholas. "I don't understand, Chief.""I want to ask you a favor," Nichola

CHAPTER 196Chasing the night, Peter finally met up with Nicholas. Since the time on his watch was already ten, Nicholas decided to drop Peter off in his car."I'll take you home," Nicholas said.They then cut through the night city streets just to talk in the car."Hendrick went home first," Peter said to start the conversation.As Nicholas looked at the streets ahead, people were still out and about as they passed through the nightlife district. Nicholas' eyes scanned casually."What did you meet outside the office last night to talk about?""It was just small talk at first, Chief. Um, Hendrick asked about my activities outside of our investigation. It's about Jason, he might be suspicious that I'm working too hard." Peter nodded his head, "He probably suspects me of too much activity without involving him."Nicholas muttered, he turned the steering wheel to the right, then responded, "Does he suspect you of investigating more things?"Peter nodded his head, he rubbed his chin with

CHAPTER 197The waiting tone of the call Hendrick was making, finally stopped. Someone on the other call answered the call. In a hoarse voice, a familiar female voice answered Hendrick.[You received the package, didn't you?]Hendrick took a sip of the coffee in his cup, then sighed contentedly. Before finally speaking to the caller on the other side. "It's a nice gift. It must be expensive."[I bought it from a collector, you'll like it. But you know that the gift is just a bonus, right?"]The man with the mustache above his lips grinned, even though someone on the other side wouldn't be able to see Hendrick. Hendrick looked around, at the flower garden he had been tending for over two years now. It was Hendrick's backyard, a favorite place he would always love to be. "So, what exactly do you need?"[You seem to know Alicia well. The dark-haired girl who always sticks with Nicholas].Hendrick gave a long mumble, "I know. What do you want from her?"[I just got information from someon

CHAPTER 198Nicholas got up from the sofa and looked around. Alicia wasn't there, and quietly, Nicholas immediately looked for her in the kitchen. The girl was cooking soup, and as she tasted it, Alicia seemed to be enjoying herself."What are you doing, darling?"Alicia spit out the soup she was trying with a spoon, her tongue seemed to burn in surprise and she struggled in pain.Nicholas, who saw the incident, immediately ran over to Alicia and handed her a glass of water. "Drink this!"And Alicia drank the water given by Nicholas without comment. She drank it to relieve the burning sensation on the tip of her tongue. Alicia opened her mouth, putting her tongue out to be exposed to the cold air from outside."Are you okay?"Alicia nodded her head. "You shouldn't surprise me, Nick."But Nicholas frowned in confusion. He leaned his back against the table, then crossed his arms in front of his chest. One eyebrow raised, and he said, "What are you surprised about? Are you surprised that

CHAPTER 199"Ah, I made something too. You can wait here," Mrs. Thompson said, breaking the awkward silence between them.Alicia and Nicholas nodded politely, as Mrs. Thompson got up from the sofa and left them alone.The girl with the scarf around her neck then leaned forward and whispered to Nicholas. "Did you really double check everything, Nick?""Of course. I checked right away, but the people here said that they didn't notice the car. And well, as we know, we don't have the license plate, I had a hard time finding the owner without something detailed." Nicholas said that guiltily. "At least I apologized to Mrs. Thompson, right?"Before Alicia could answer, Mrs. Thompson returned with her son in a wheelchair. The young man looked much healthier now and could already sit up on his own. Mrs. Thompson pushed the wheelchair closer."My son is better, it's a miracle. And, I want you to say hello to him. It’s Erick."After Mrs. Thompson told him, the young man on the wheelchair waved,

CHAPTER 200"S-should we do this?" Selena glanced at Ace who was now sitting beside her.It had been an hour since Ace sat beside Selena, while the girl was immobilized behind the wheel of the car. They were silent, watching the dimly lit tunnel that Selena was familiar with. Ace held the gun in her hand, as if to emphasize that she would shoot Selena, if the girl dared to resist, or simply scream for help.Ace had changed a lot. The murders he committed in the past, had shaped his current personality.The man looked outside with sunglasses covering his eyes, so Selena couldn't be sure which direction Ace was actually looking.
