Chapter 38 Two Strange Cases

Upon William’s arrival. Bradley’s eyes glistened when he saw the bottles of white wine in his hands. “Is that white wine I see? Haha! How lucky of us tonight!”

Smilingly, Zoie pulled out a chair for William and the three of them then sat downs.

With that. Bradley stated, “William. I understand that you think we’re letting those b*stards off too easily, but I’m not in charge of the matter. Our captain made that decision.”

As such, William blandly muttered, “Sigh Perhaps such matters would’ve been better handled by people in the underworld. I shouldn’t have looked for you guys.

Bradley smilingly refuted, “Not really. The world isn’t all black and white, you know. You’ll understand this soon enough.”

Soon, food was served. The mini lobsters were scrumptious and the lamb skewers were excellent. The three continued chatting as they dined.

As an emotionally tactful man, Bradley grew more talkative once he consumed the white wine. “Zoie, you’re no longer a little girl. I see that William is an outstanding man. Perhaps we can talk it out until the two of you get together.”

Such straightforward words left Zoie blushing. “Mr. Hussain, what are you talking about? Are you drunk already?”

Bradley giggled. I’m not drunk yet. William is undeniably a competent, righteous man. You won’t feel sorry for becoming his girlfriend.”

Feeling awkward, William immediately went on a tangent. “Mr. Hussain, you’ve been an inspector for so many years. Have you ever encountered any strange cases?”

“Strange cases?” Bradley pondered for a while. “Ah, yes! There were two strange cases, and I’m already getting goosebumps just thinking of them.”

Interested, William replied, “Oh? Do enlighten us

After chugging down the glass of white wine, Bradley began recounting one of the cases.

Fifteen years ago, he was already an experienced, senior inspector. One day, the team received a report about corpses being found in a villa beside a river. Upon investigation, the dead were of a family. comprising an old mother, a son, a daughter–in–law, and a boy that was about seven years old. The family experienced a horrible death. Even their skins were torn away as their corpses bloodily lay on the floor. What was even more terrifying was the fact that their blood was completely siphoned, and an extremely uncanny symbol was drawn on the floor. The symbol resembled a paper talisman an expert would use.

Back then, the incident left the entire capital shocked. Professionals across the department, the district, and the city were sent over to look into the case, but only to no avail. After three years of investigation, their effort led to nothing, rendering the case an unsolvable case, the documents of which were then scaled in the drawer of unsolved cases to this day.
