"How about the plane?" Inigo asked.
"You'll just need to first retrieve the money. Once you've ascertained that you're not being followed or
chased, you can leave any time," Jameson chuckled. His gaze was cold.
"Well, hurry up, then! I'm so done with this shithole!" Inigo couldn't get used to the place. Plus, he
wasn't able to go out in the open. He was already at his wits' end.
Jameson stepped on the white handkerchief and kneaded it with his shoe. "As long as you go along
with my arrangements, I will make sure you have a smooth departure."
The next morning, Alyssa and Jasper heard the shocking news—David was found dead in the shared
bathroom at the detention center.
They had heard that he died in a bizarre and horrifying manner. When he was discovered, rigor mortis
had already set in. His face was puffed up and discolored.
His cause of death was strangulation by the stainless steel shower hose, which was still wound around
his neck when his body was discovered.
It looked very much like a suicide.
However, how could that be?
He was still an able-bodied sane man. Why would he commit suicide out of the blue?
A death happened in the detention center without anyone knowing. This would be humiliating news.
The police informed the Schmidts of the news. Then, they transferred David's body to the pathologist
for an autopsy before making any further inferences.
Cyrus relayed the situation to Alyssa and Jasper over the phone. After the call, neither Alyssa nor
Jasper knew how they should react.
Evidently, this wasn't any devastating news. It was good news that the bastard had died.
But who was it who wanted him dead?
Even if he didn't die, he would've had to spend the rest of his life rotting in prison. Who was it who
couldn't wait until a verdict was reached and wanted to eliminate him immediately?
"The officers at the detention center contacted the Schmidt family. The funny thing was that both Victor
and Josh kept coming up with excuses.
"Neither of them was willing to reclaim David's body. They were completely indifferent. In the end, they
simply sent a secretary to settle things.
"What a miserable end for the second son in the Schmidt family. How pitiful," Cyrus scoffed.
It wasn't that he sympathized with the Schmidts. He just felt that the Schmidts were such cold-hearted
beings.
"David isn't the type of person to try to kill himself, Cyrus. I'm sure that he was murdered. This needs to
be thoroughly investigated, no matter what. I have a feeling that there is something more. There's a
deeper and darker side to this."
Alyssa and Jasper were seated on the couch. She was sitting between his legs while he had his arms
wrapped around her waist.
Jasper rested his chin by the side of her neck.
She could feel the warmth and hear the sound of his low breathing in her ear. It tickled her, and it made
her ears turn red.
She shrugged and said, "Hey... Stop it. I'm having a serious conversation with Cyrus here."
"I'm paying attention to your conversation too," he replied.novelbin
Then, he couldn't help it and started kissing her on her neck. Her fair skin was as soft as a baby's skin.
In an instant, a love bite appeared on her neck.
Her breathing became unsteady. She let out a soft moan.
"Hey, hey! Pay attention, the both of you! I don't want to be hearing anything indecent." Cyrus was also
a hot-blooded man. He couldn't stand hearing the sounds from the other end of the call.
Alyssa and Jasper sure could find pleasure in their intimacy, but he didn't even have a partner. This
was physical and mental torture to him.
"Let's just go with Lyse's proposal, Cyrus." Jasper spoke into the receiver in a warm voice, "The person
who killed David is sophisticated. This may be our chance to apprehend them, including the
mastermind."
"I wish that we could do so too. However, it's not as easy as it sounds."
Cyrus responded in a serious tone, "The culprit is very experienced. They chose to strike in the shared
bathroom as that is the only place in the detention center where there are no surveillance cameras
installed.
"Also, his approach was cruel yet professional. He chose to use the tools available on the spot and left
nothing behind. All the water has washed any fingerprints and footprints away.
"It's possible that the murderer is another criminal at the detention center. He could also be one of the
guards. I would go so far as to say that they may not have acted alone.
"It could've been anyone who came in contact with David. This isn't a small scope that we're talking
about. There are too many factors. It's difficult to search for evidence and investigate."
Alyssa lifted her hand and pressed it against Jasper's mouth to prevent him from getting ahead of
himself.
She said, "Rather than identifying the perpetrator, I think that the more important thing to do now is to
identify the motive of the murder. David was about to be sentenced. There was no escape for him.
"Who would be willing to take such a risk to set him up and have him killed? That was a highly risky
move. What were they hoping to achieve out of this?"
