My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)

Matt was away for quite a long time, he prepared Amy some food and drinks and placed them on the bedside.

Amy felt disappointed and hopeless staying in the darkroom, was this how she would spend the remaining of her life?

Stay hidden here felt like being imprisoned, not to mention that she couldn't see, escaping here seemed to be a dream that could never come true.

Amy touched and explored the entire place where she was and found that it was a room without a window in the basement. She walked for a while but didn't know where should she head to. Finally, she chose to go back and stayed by the bed. There was no one to talk to, it was complete silence, dark and cold.

Kingsley lead a team followed by Jamie and the others and searched the entire suburban of R City but failed to locate Amy.

"So how? Did they kill Amy? We couldn't locate her anywhere, have you ask William?" Jamie asked Kingsley.

"Yes, I did. He said he didn't know anything. He greeted Amy and offered her a ride but was rejected, so she drove away alone. But Amy's car is still parked in the car park and her mobile is turned off." Kingsley had done everything he could and check all information he had.

"I've checked. Amy's car drove out for a while but appeared at the entrance of the car park out of nowhere. The guard saw that the car blocks the entrance, so he park it inside the car park. This means, it was the guard that parks the car, and no one knows how it appeared at the entrance. We can't even find out anything from the CCTV recording." Kevin had a thorough check too, but he couldn't find out how the car appeared out of nowhere at the car park.

Another thing that made them worried was Richard, who was still missing until now, it had been days, he was a simpleton, what if something happened to him or someone cheated him? What should they tell Cathy? A lot had happened to the Carter family these days.

"Oh yeah, there is a conference scheduled this afternoon. I suspect one of them, let's see if this person will show up, if he didn't, he should be the suspect." Kingsley told everyone after some thoughts.

"I suspect the same person too. He mentioned a business trip to another city a few days ago but someone saw him lingering around an abandoned building." Andy recalled something too.

"Let's stop all the search right now and wait until the conference this afternoon." Kevin could guess who they were talking about, but one shouldn't conclude too early.

The afternoon conference was just around the corner. It was a conference that required attendance from all legal personnel from huge corporations in R City. It was also a conference that symbolized one's status in R City, no one would be absent for no reason.

Andy, Kingsley, and Kevin arrived at the venue and each took their designated seat which was not far from the other. They looked at one particular seat with a name on it, he hadn't arrived yet. Many other people arriving at the venue but one particular seat was still empty. The wait made Andy and the rest nervous.

The conference had finally begun, the official host was the first one to deliver the speech. As Andy was about to make a call via his mobile, someone came in in a rush and took that particular empty seat they had been monitoring, he even apologized for being late due to a gas problem with his car.

His present put question marks on everyone. He was here and where did he came from was also questionable. Kingsley immediately instructed his men to check where Matt came from.

Matt took his seat and glanced at Kingsley and the rest, he even gave them a friendly greeting before focusing on the speech.

At this moment, Kingsley received a text message from someone along with a short video clip. Matt did come from his office and his car was out of gas on the way and had it tolled to the gas station, that was why he was late.

Kingsley frowned as he watched the video and read the text, 'We guess it wrong?' He thought.

"Check all the places Matt had been lately and send me an update within ten minutes," Kingsley instructed his most efficient bodyguard.

The conference was still going on. Andy and Kevin turned sullen when they received the text and video clip from Kingsley. What was going on? Matt was the biggest suspect and yet he seemed to be innocent. Kingsley's staff texted him that Matt remained at the office lately and had not been elsewhere.

Even Kevin's staff couldn't find anything suspicious about Matt, he went to the other city on a business trip earlier on and even took some pictures there.

The whole thing became complicated, who would it be if it wasn't Matt? William was in the office the entire time, everyone could be his witness, so there was no way to know who kidnapped Amy at the moment.

"I think we should send someone tailing Matt from now on and see if he is involved in this kidnap," Kevin suggested.

"Okay, I will make arrangements right away. He has been acting too normal lately and raise suspicions." Kingsley arranged for someone to follow Matt at once.

Matt realized he had been tailed when he arrived at his office. He let out a laugh, 'They are smart enough to suspect me but it's fine, I have ways to play around with them. You want to find Amy? In your dream!'

He then clapped his hands and someone came out from his leisure room; someone who looked very similar to Matt, even height, body shape, and gestures.

"Drive home later, remember to show your face a few times on the way, let people see you," Matt told that guy.

"Yes," he nodded.

When it was time to get off work, Matt's substitute went down to the car park and drove Matt's car away, while those who were tailing him followed.

Matt turned off the car park CCTV monitor screen in the CEO room once he was sure that everyone that was sent to follow him left.

He changed into leisurewear, put on a cap and mask before walking out of his office.☐☐☐☐☐☐
