Luckily, Zion was on the phone, and Rachel thought that what I said wasn’t harsh enough.
“She doesn’t even deserve to be dumped in a stinking ditch. Her body should be thrown into aseptic tank,” she spat. novelbin
Rachel’s ferocity managed to cover up my earlier slip of the tongue.
I watched as the suspicion in Eason’s eyes slowly cleared away.
Zion hung up the call and looked at Eason. “The case with the mutilated corpses has been
closed.”
Eason was taken aback by that. “It has?”
“Well, the superiors called to say that the aid I provided to make the arrest was
commendable since I got injured in the line of duty. I’ve apparently contributed to the
closure of the case with the mutilated corpses,
“They said that they want to award me with a medal of honor at the Traffic Enforcement Unit,” Zionsaid with a small smirk. He thought that they were going to finally reinstate
him. But the truth was far from it.
“Is that all?” Eason asked through gritted teeth.
“Well, they’ve also given me a long vacation. They said to only come back to work once my armheals,” Zion replied.
Eason scratched his head. “So, the case is closed just like that? Huh…”
It was clear that someone from above was pushing for the case’s closure. The serial murder casehad dragged on for quite a long while without any closure being given, after all.
The case involved the mutilation of corpses, after all. Seeing as the supposed culprit had beencaught, the case needed to be closed promptly. Otherwise, it would incite widespread.
panic.
“You guys should head back first. I’ll check out the situation,” Eason said, then spun on his
heel to seek the superiors out.
I looked at Steven. He was still holding onto me and seemed unwilling to let go.
Michael scoffed and turned to leave.
“Mr. Ford, you’ve lost…” Steven couldn’t help but remind him mockingly. His tone was
cautious, as if he was afraid that I’d get angry.
Michael’s expression darkened with anger as he barked out, “You’re so childish!”
Steven snorted and tightened his grip on my hand. Then, he scolded Michael loudly enough
for everyone around us to hear, “You so shameless. She’s my wife, you
registered our marriage and everything, so we’re protected by the law.”
know. We’ve
Michael was enraged to hear that. He wanted to charge forward but was stopped by Yasmin whowas crying. “Michael, let’s just go…”
Michael angrily pushed Yasmin away and turned to leave.
Yasmin glanced back at me with a barely perceptible smirk in her eyes.
It looked like she was planning something. And whatever it was, it seemed as if everything wasgoing to her plan.
I scoffed. I was ready to find out what sort of plans she had cooked up.
“Let go,” I said in a deep voice. I lifted my head to glance at Steven.
Steven hugged me with an aggrieved look on his face. He wouldn’t let go of my hand.
“Let go,” I said once more.
Steven cautiously released his hold on my hand.
“Rach, I’m going to head back home if there’s nothing else,” I said softly.
I must have still looked rather pale. I caught a glimpse of my ghostly reflection in the glass: It hadn’tbeen long since the miscarriage, after all. My body couldn’t handle too much stress.
“You should head home and rest for now. If I get any information related to the serial murder case,I’ll let you know right away,” Rachel said, looking at me with concern in her eyes as she held myhand.
She seemed to have something more to say. But in the end, all she did was choke out the words,“You can go now.‘
My eyes welled up with tears as well. I wondered if she had recognized me.
I didn’t say anything more and quickly walked away.
Rachel knew that ever since I was reborn, I had been obsessed with looking for the culprit of theserial murder case.
I was the serial killer’s victim. I had been brutally murdered, so I had the right to seek out
the truth.
“That guy confessed. He admitted to intentionally killing a bunch of people. He’s also from thedemolition area at No. 37 Bridgeway Route. It’s said that he and the one who jumped off thebuilding before went bankrupt trying to find their children. A case of human trafficking was evenbrought up.
“Yeah, the case of the mutilated corpses has finally been closed. But now, nasty businesses likehuman trafficking and kidnapping cases are coming up again.”
I had only just left the office area when I heard two police officers discussing the mutilated
corpse case.
“If you ask me, those two should die. Human traffickers and kidnappers deserve to die.” I stood inplace and looked at Zion.
