Chapter 104 The Mysterious Man
The police officer had no choice but to let the policemen put on their masks and enter the garbage dump to search.
Rex and Aaron did not stay idle either. They walked around the garbage without hesitation, trying to find some useful clues.
After a while, a slightly excited voice came from a corner, “Got it!”
A group of people immediately surrounded him. It was a piece of white cloth, which was particularly conspicuous in the dirty
environment.
“Is there a problem?”
Aaron glanced at the first person to find this piece of cloth. It was Rohan.
Rohan rushed in after hearing Rex’s instructions. His hair was stuck to his forehead, and his whole body was emitting a strange
smell.
“It feels wet. If I’m not wrong, it should be mixed with drugs.”
“Really?”
One of the police officers looked at Rohan suspiciously. How could an actor who looked. fragile know so much?
Rohan’s expression did not change. He calmly looked at the man who had voiced his doubts. “You can send it to the lab for
testing, but before that, I suggest you collect the fingerprints on the surface first.”
“Why should we listen to you?”
Someone whispered.
“There isn’t so much reason. Hurry up and go.” Aaron and Rex were willing to believe in Rohan. The determination in his eyes
was unquestionable.
Soon, news came from the laboratory.
“There is indeed a broken fingerprint of a suspect on the phone found at the scene,
but...”
“But what?”
Rex interrupted the police officer’s hesitant voice impatiently.
“However, after we compared the fingerprints in DNA’s fingerprint database, we found that the owner of this fingerprint was the
person who confirmed death twenty years
ago.”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked.
Thus, the suspect dared to leave such an obvious tool at the scene.
Rex’s years of anti–reconnaissance experience allowed him to smell a trace of an
unusual criminal aura.
“The clues are basically cut off here. Please go back now. If there is any news, we will inform you immediately.”
“We will not go back. We will not leave until you find the exact clue.” Rohan stood in front of the police officer with a serious
expression.
Aaron deliberated for a moment, but he still stepped forward to stop Rohan. “Let’s go first. Staying here is not a solution. I know
you are worried about Amelie. Thank you on
her behalf.”
The surroundings gradually quieted down. Rohan could not refuse Aaron’s persuasion
and nodded silently.
On the way back to Oakland, he did not say a word. Rohan just stared blankly at the foggy night outside the window and the city
light in the distance.
“Ah...”
It hurts...
Amelie slowly woke up and realized that she had been tied up and thrown on the hard
cement floor.
Her body had been twisted for a long time, and the rope that had been squeezed into her flesh made her whole body extremely
sore.
“Oh, you’re awake.”
Amelie was shocked and slowly turned her head in the direction of the voice.
When she saw the man’s face clearly, she was shocked. It should be a man, but the grey. hair that reached his waist was tightly
tied to the back of his head. Half of his face was ruined, and the scars like stitching lines were crooked on his face, adding a
trace of
horror.
Because his upper body was bare, Amelie could clearly see that the man’s left waist was missing a piece, deeply sunken in. His
whole body was covered with scars, but he still had strong muscles.
“Who are you?”
Amelie suppressed the panic in her heart and asked him calmly.
The man did not answer her question, but asked her instead, “You are Sean’s granddaughter, right?”
“How did you know about my grandfather?”
“You really look like him.”
The man’s throat emitted a strange syllable, which was especially terrifying in the large
and empty room.
“Sean never thought that I would kidnap his granddaughter whom he had never met before, right?”
Looking at his deranged appearance, Amelie no longer paid attention to him. Instead, she looked around, trying to find
something that could not help her escape.
“Don’t look around.” However, the man’s eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s, and his voice became cold. “The room has been
cleaned up by me. The only thing next to you is this rope. Don’t try to escape from my eyes.”
This man...
Amelie suddenly put on a smile. “Who asked you to kidnap me?”
“I can’t say.”
“Then why did he ask you to kidnap me?”
“Don’t ask too much.”
“Do
Amelie looked at the man in front of her and felt that there was a hint of unwillingness and resentment in the depths of his eyes.
“Why did you help him? Have you ever thought that this person does not have the qualifications?”
“Girl, you have to be careful when you speak. This matter was originally something that I was willing to do. I just conveniently
helped him. From now on, we will be even.‘
As if he realized that he had said too much, the man immediately shut his mouth and took large puffs of cigar next to the small
lattice. White smoke quickly filled the entire room, choking Amelie and she could not speak.
She now began to regret that she had not listened to Rex and brought the tracking
device with her.
She confidently promised that nothing would happen to her. It was just a simple public. performance. Amelie did not expect that
the person behind this would specifically pick the time when she was most careless.
Amelie sighed. She moved her body a little, and the sound immediately came from her
stomach.
Only then did she realize that she had not eaten for a long time and her throat was very
dry.
“Excuse me, can you give me some water? I’m a little thirsty.” Amelie was still unwilling to give up and tried to get close to the
man in front of her.
Anyone had the weakest point in his heart. As long as Amelie got it, she could persuade
him.
“That person’s purpose is to kill you. I just helped you change it into a kind of gentle death. The more you say, the more it will
waste your strength and speed up your If I were you, I would not ask some boring questions.”
Die of thirst or hunger?
death.
Amelie rolled her eyes speechlessly. What gentle death? She would rather choose a straightforward way.
There were only them in the empty room. There was no sound of conversation around them. There was only the chirping of birds
during the day and the crickets at night.
Although the man was stubborn, he would occasionally give Amelie a piece of dry bread or a glass of water with some impurities.
