Alyssa's and Jasper's expressions turned solemn after listening.
“If not, it could be that he cleans up the scene thoroughly every time he commits a crime, leaving no trace behind. But thatdoesn't quite fit the modus operandi of an outlaw or top-tier assassin."
Cyrus traced his jawline with his finger as he calmly analyzed the situation. "So, I'm inclined to believe he's a hired assassin fromabroad."
"If that's the case, it'll be even more difficult to investigate him. Once this job is done, he'll disappear immediately. He'd probablyuse a false identity to flee the country." Jasper's gaze darkened gradually.
"Didn't Ms. Angelina see his face? She can come to our station tomorrow and describe his face based on her memory. | canarrange for a top-notch profiler from our city to come and draw a portrait of that assassin."
Cyrus’ eyes flashed with determination. "Having a sketch might provide more clues. We can't delay too long. People's memoriesfade, and the likeness of the portrait can become distorted. The most accurate portrait will be drawn while the memory is fresh."
Alyssa and Jasper exchanged looks. Just as they were about to speak, a sweet and composed voice spoke from behind."| remember his face."
Cyrus swiftly lifted his gaze.
Seeing Lauren descend the stairs gracefully, he felt his heart throb in his chest. He hurriedly stood up from the couch.The hot blood that once flowed calmly through his veins now seemed to stir restlessly.
Jasper suddenly remembered. "Right, Lauren had contact with that man too."
Pressing her lips together, Alyssa walked over to Lauren and gently wrapped her arm around her shoulder. "Lauren, we'll contactAngelina tomorrow and have her assist with this. You don't need to do anything or think about it. The most important thing is tofocus on getting well."
She knew that although Lauren seemed fine on the outside, her soul was suffering from the trauma of her episodes and thetorment of her breakup with Landon.
Alyssa wished she could find the time to arrange modified electroconvulsive therapy for Lauren, hoping it would help hercompletely forget that painful day.
She couldn't bear to see Lauren forced to relive that trauma, especially during such a critical time, which would only compoundher suffering.
“Lauren, don't force yourself," Cyrus said as he looked at her deeply. His voice was slightly hoarse. "Your health and well-beingare more important than anything else.”novelbin
“Alyssa, Cyrus, it's okay." Lauren gently shook her head, and her eyes showed determination.
"I'm fine now. | just want to help you all as much as | can. And | also want to catch that person to uncover the terrifyingconspiracy behind it. | want to know who is manipulating the Harpers, using me, and hurting Landon."
Alyssa's and Jasper's hearts clenched with a bitter ache.
In the past few days, they hadn't told her much. Yet Lauren, clever as she was, had pieced together the sequence of events fromtheir scattered words.
Staring into Lauren's reddened eyes, he sensed her deep affection when she mentioned Landon.
She loved him deeply, and he could see that. She loved him so deeply that there was no room for another person in her heart.
