I was stunned for a moment and quickly sat up. “I… didn’t receive any missed calls from you all.”
Rachel was a little anxious. “Last night, Yasmin and Michael took it upon themselves to lure themurderer. Yasmin was almost killed, and Michael got stabbed saving her. He’s in critical conditionand being treated. Did that bitch, Yasmin, call you? It’s a good thing you didn’t go. Otherwise…”
Rachel didn’t finish speaking, but she meant that I could have made the same mistake asStephanie.
I was shocked. Yasmin and Michael teamed up to plot against Steven last night. Unexpectedly, theyencountered an actual murderer, and something happened to Michael.
“I’ll be right there.” Lois was still in the hospital. Rachel informed me that Lois had just woken upand that something had happened to Michael again….
“Has the murderer been caught?” I asked without thinking.
Last night, I contacted Zion immediately. Even though Michael was a scumbag, he had beenconsistently
working out throughout the year. It was no simple task for the murderer to inflict serious harm onhim.
Zion and the others were at Sunset Alley, close to the orphanage. It was just five minutes away.Hopefully, the murderer wouldn’t be able to escape again.
“Yes.” Rachel let out a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. Then, she became a littleemotional
and continued speaking with a cry, “Stephie, the murderer has been caught.”
I knew she was telling Stephanie, her best friend.
For no apparent reason, my eyes were slightly red. I instinctively raised my hand to cover mymouth.
Had the murderer been caught at last?
I was incredibly shocked, and my fingers were trembling. The situation felt very sudden.
“Although Michael deserves to die, this time, it was his plan to lure out the murderer. Zion said themurderer was clever, left no evidence, and was highly skilled at avoiding detection.
“Yesterday, Michael chose to remain at the orphanage and requested Yasmin to help lure out themurderer. He insisted that she needed to atone for her sins.”
The murderer was very good at avoiding being detected. If the police had used Yasmin to try tocatch the murderer, the murderer would’ve quickly realized what was happening. He wouldn’t havefallen for it while
under police surveillance.
But it would be a different story if Yasmin escaped on her own and went mad at the orphanage.
The opportunity presented itself, and the murderer would not let this chance go to waste.
“Who is… the murderer?” asked in a hoarse voice.
Rachel took a while to respond. “It was Simon. After we released him, he committed anothermurder.”
I stood still in shock. Simon?
I had always had my suspicions about Simon. Despite being underage, only 15 or 16 years old,there was something about him that seemed off. His gaze was extremely icy, far beyond what onewould expect. from someone his age.
After the call ended, I immediately wanted to go to the hospital and find out the details from thepolice.
The serial crime and murder case was not the work of a single individual. At least three peoplewere caught on surveillance. Simon had to be one of these three individuals.
Simon was caught and would be interrogated soon. The result would be released eventually.
When I went downstairs, I saw Steven cutting flowers in the yard. He gave me some white roses.
I took the flowers, my eyes teary. I tried to hold back tears and smiled at Steven.
It was a relief that he wasn’t the murderer. Even though there was still some suspicion, I started tofeel hopeful that he wasn’t.
I extended my hand to him. “Come with me, Steven. The murderer has been caught. Michael wasinjured. Let’s go to the hospital.”
Steven’s hand froze, and he looked up at me. “Really?”
I nodded, feeling emotional, with my hands still slightly shaking. “Yeah. The police caught him. Itwas
Simon… He deceived us all.”
I hoped Steven was deceived by him as well.
The police were all aware that Steven had asked Ewan to fund him. I feared that Steven would nowcome
under suspicion as well. Steven was quiet on the way to the hospital, appearing lost in thought.
As we were about to leave the car, he suddenly shook his head. “Something’s wrong…”
I was stunned, fixing my gaze on Steven. “What’s wrong?”
“The timing is wrong. He wouldn’t allow himself to be caught now.”
