Chapter 1846

In the following two days, Waverly stayed at home quietly. She studied the case with Seth, the lawyer, and a few professionals.

They gathered all the evidence that had been found. Apart from Waverly, who had a solemn expression, everyone else was very dejected. Seth threw the

documents in his hands and was visibly anxious.

"I can't believe that there's so much surveillance footage and it's all useless. How have we still not found the child? Can't we at least eliminate the motive?" he roared.

He was furious. What was he paying those professionals and lawyers for? They were all useless!

Shaking his head, one of the lawyers spoke up.

"Mr. Rahman, the law asks for solid evidence. The phone number on the balloon was written using erasable ink, and it's already disappeared on its own. Even if we managed to find some of the remaining traces, we can't restore the numbers on it. Even if it was restored, we can't prove that the plaintiff led the defendant there. Besides, regardless of whether the six-year-old child lied or not, there's already an issue when it comes to making the child express himself. When the time comes, the other party's lawyers can easily scare him into submission. This uncertainty is too big, and our strength is limited. If we don't go about this carefully, we'll end up shooting ourselves in the foot. Thus, that witness is almost useless. I don't think that we should use it in court!"

"The knife doesn't have the victim's fingerprints, either. Instead, Wyatt's

fingerprints are clearly on it. Can the surveillance footage at least prove that the child told him to go to the alley?" Seth asked.

Waverly shook her head. This time, there was no need for an answer from the professionals.

She stated, "The surveillance camera was too far away. There was only the footage and no sound. There are too many ways to interpret it. Not to mention, the footage shows the child asking for directions, so we can't say that he told Wyatt to go there. The key is that the words on the balloon are too vague. The screenshots can't be processed at all, and the traces left on the balloon can't prove that it's a phone number."

in principle. There's a big difference between intentional harm and self-defense f we can prove that the defendant doesn't own the knife, and there's no surveillance footage as evidence. There's a high chance that this would help the defendant's case a bit. We could say he initially just wanted to fight the plaintiff but ended up making the wrong move on impulse while trying to defend himself. We can at least guarantee that he won't have

He would at least have to find out your whereabouts or determine which route you were going to take in order to arrange all of this. Since it all happened unexpectedly, there's no way he could have gotten someone to prepare to ambush you on the road in advance. Right now, I think there's another possibility. He might have set up traps at various possible intersections that you guys might pass by on your way back. In other words, he could only set his plan into motion once he's confirmed that your car has been bumped into. In that case, there are only two possibilities. First of all, he had the knife with him from the start. Otherwise, he must have bought a new one. Regardless of which possibility
