Chapter 202
Steven was lost in thought as he whispered to himself.
The timing was not right.
“Did Michael intentionally trick him out?” Michael’s calculation disrupted the murderer’s plan,causing it to go awry at the wrong time.
Steven shook his head. “Michael… is stupid.”
Steven believed that Michael was incapable of doing that.
I disagreed. “Michael is not stupid. When attending classes with Yasmin, he was the top student inhis grade.”
He was a finance industry genius and a rising star in the business world. He led the Ford Group togreat success after taking over the Ford family.
I was just analyzing it objectively. I didn’t mean to praise Michael, but he did have his good points.
Steven puffed up his cheeks and snorted. “Stupid.”
To someone as brilliant as him, Michael seemed stupid.
Out of 10,000 participants from around the world, only one person won the worldwide knowledgequiz
competition. They faced various tests and challenges at different stages. Each of them stood out as
exceptional individuals among the crowd. Everyone was a genius.
Sighing, I held Steven’s hand. “Anyway, if one murderer is caught, the others will also be caught.”
Steven had been lost in his thoughts, and I couldn’t shake the bad feeling that had settled in. It wasclear novelbin
that they had caught the murderer. However, I still felt conflicted. It seemed too easy.
Michael was skilled, but could he truly outsmart a killer?
Simon was arrested. The police called Ewan for questioning because he had contacted and funded
Simon. However, Ewan’s response was flawless, and the murderer did not make any falseaccusations. As a result, he was promptly released but had to remain available at all times.
“Michael’s condition is not good.” Zion waited outside the emergency room, feeling concerned.
“He claimed that he wanted to make amends, which was why he couldn’t notify the police. That’sjust
absurd.
“Stephanie is already dead. What’s the point of his atonement? He said he was sorry toStephanie. Even if he knew something would happen to him, he still made a deal with Yasmin tolure out the murderer.” Zion’s voice was scratchy, and he complained while waiting.
Yasmin didn’t want to go, but Michael forced her, saying she owed Stephanie. The policethought this was
foolish behavior. Luckily, they caught the murderer, but the cost was too high.

“Simon admitted that he commanded the killing and correctly mentioned the timing, but… hesimply declines to disclose the other two accomplices.” Zion glanced at me and then shifted hisgaze to Steven.
1 was aware that he had suspicions about Steven.
“Based on the surveillance footage, no one is as tall as Steve. People can hide their height, butthey can’t
fake being short,” I defended Steven without thinking.
Steven was standing behind me, his eyes always on me. He murmured for a moment, thensuddenly looked up at Zion. “He wouldn’t let you catch him so easily. It’s wrong. The timing iswrong.”
Zion furrowed his brows, still perplexed by Steven’s words.
Steven kept repeating that it was wrong.
“He was wearing a wig. His head and body were severely burned, leaving him with no hair. Hesuffered severe burns that endangered his internal organs. He didn’t have much time left. His lungswere already
struggling to function properly.
“He said he just wanted revenge on the person who set fire to the orphanage, so he plannedeverything.”
Simon had severe burns, resulting in no hair or fingerprints. Without any other traces, he only leftfootprints when going in and out. Due to severe burns, he had been suffering from excruciating painfor several years.
The hospital permitted him to acquire narcotic painkillers, which explained his possession of the
medication.
The police also traced the medicines back to him. The timing of this discovery was just toocoincidental.
“He still refuses to reveal his accomplices,” Phil told Zion, shaking his head.
Meanwhile, the policewoman received a call. “Officer Landon, Simon said he can name hisaccomplices, but there are conditions. He wants to meet you!”
Zion stood up and glanced at me. “I’ll go back first.”
Steven suddenly grabbed Zion. “Wrong… It’s wrong.”
