Chapter 353
“I understand,” Winnie said as she wore her gloves quickly.Just as she reached out to take the letter, a white-gloved hand moved
quicker than hers to take it.It was Xavier’s.“Let me do it,” he offered.If there were an issue with the letter, he would rather put
himself in danger than jeopardize the woman he loved.Even so, he was well aware that the letter was probably safe because it
had gone through numerous people, all of which appeared to be fine.Nevertheless, Xavier did not want to place Winnie in danger
as long as there was a sliver of chance behind it.He pulled out a chair to sit beside the table and carefully opened the letter to
uncover a piece of folded A4 paper.There was no blood or powder on the paper, so it did not seem hazardous.He unfolded the
paper, revealing a black-and-white picture and an address.It was a general address for a residential area with no specific house
number.Winnie was confounded. “What does this mean? Why would he send me a picture and an address?”She stared at
Xavier, confused. “Is this his hiding place? Does he want me to look for him?”“Wait a moment,” Xavier softly replied as he turned
to the security manager to ask for the surveillance footage.After the security manager left, he opened the surveillance footage on
his laptop and said to Winnie, “Let’s watch this first.”“Okay!”They watched the footage together and got a clear glimpse of the
homeless man’s face on the screen.Winnie observed him for a moment and uttered, “He didn’t try to conceal himself, and his
height and build are wrong. He’s definitely not Harold. He must have found a random person to do this.”“I guess so.” If that was
the case, the footage had no use to them. Xavier closed his laptop before continuing, “Let’s call the police and give this letter to
Captain Gibson. I don’t want you to go alone no matter what Harold’s trying to do.”Winnie nodded. “I’ll send the picture to him
now, but I still want to go to the police station.”“All right, but I’m going with you.” Xavier did not object.After experiencing so much
with Xavier, Winnie recognized that a couple had to not only enjoy the positive moments together but also bear the difficult times
together.Being in a relationship meant they had to share their joys and sorrows together.With that, they decided to find David
first.When they arrived, David and the others had already pinpointed an approximate area.They were knowledgeable and
efficient in this regard, deducing that it was a slum residence in the suburbs near a disposal area.As the rent for such housing
was extremely cheap, they were typically inhabited by low-income workers and couriers.David said, “We were looking into the
homeless man and suspected he might be living in this region. You received the letter just as we were getting nowhere. With this
picture, our target has become clearer.”Winnie frowned. “Right. This is such a coincidence.”However, the more coincidental it
was, the more terrifying it was as Harold had planned all this!Winnie knew he would not be there even if they traveled to the
address’ location because he had already predicted their movements.She explained her reservations to David and suggested
that he bring their canines and a bomb disposal team.If it was all part of Harold’s plan, the police might suffer a devastating loss
if he planted a bomb in the slum house. “Okay. What you said makes sense.” David took Winnie’s suggestion. At the same time,
he told Winnie and Xavier to wait at the police station for new information.However, Winnie had already made up her mind.David
and the others soon left, and Xavier and Winnie’s car followed close behind.As the suburbs was rather far from the city, they
drove for more than an hour before reaching their destination.The canines entered the residential area first. The rest followed

them after a thorough search.The slum house in the picture Winnie received had a gigantic metal tin in front of it. Since it was a
conspicuous signpost, they were able to readily locate the house in the picture.There was no lock on the door, and the door was
already half-open. After the canines made sure that there was no bomb, David entered the house first.As expected, there was no
one in the house.It was a small and narrow space, so one could see the entire room with a single glance.It was a messy place
with trash piled up everywhere.However, there was a small space on the table next to the window, which was spotlessly
clean.Moreover, there was a small cardboard box.Looking at the size of it, Winnie immediately recalled the bloody parcel she
had previously received.“Captain Gibson, let’s take a look inside this box,” she said as she pointed at it.David instantly instructed
someone to do so.They quickly found that there was a male doll inside the cardboard box.It was the same kind of doll Winnie
had received before.The only difference was that there was a word, Woods, carved into the doll’s face. There was no blood on
his body, and his belly had no holes. However, there was wire around his neck.Winnie’s heart jolted when she saw this
scene.This is Harold’s doing. This is definitely not a joke. He already killed Mason, so this may be a clue to his next victim! This
victim must have already been strangled to death!Winnie immediately thought of the car owner whose car had been stolen by
Harold.She turned to David and asked, “Is the missing car owner’s last name Woods?”“That’s right!” David had derived the
connection between these two too. With a serious expression, he asked his subordinate, “Did you bring John Woods’
clothes?”“Yes, I did. It’s in the car. I’ll go and get it.”The clothes had been provided by John’s family members when they made
the police report so that the canines could search for him using his scent.Soon, the subordinate brought John’s clothes over.The
police immediately search the area with the canines using the scent.Even though there was a disposal zone directly behind the
slum house, the canines were competent and determined the area.One of the canines knocked down a pile of cans, revealing a
limb.The police discovered John’s body after clearing the rest of the trash.John’s body was the same as the doll’s. There was a
coil of wire around his neck.Winnie took a quick glance before looking away.She clenched her fists tightly. Harold is a devil! He
killed another innocent person cruelly. He has to go to hell for what he did!While everyone was immersed in their sorrow for such
a cruel and gruesome murder, a canine suddenly pulled out a box.There was another doll in the box.This time, it was a female
doll, but there was no method of death portrayed.However, the word, Marsh, was displayed on the doll’s face.
