Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 136

Briar stared at the surveillance footage expressionlessly. Although much of the important information had been tampered with or destroyed, ther still clues to be found if one was determined enough.

The footage playing on her laptop was from road surveillance near the entrance of Shoneport University the evening before.

Briar had specifically marked two female figures in the footage. They were Vivian Koch and Aneesa Ortega, the two victims who mysteriously vanished after leaving the school gate and were later found brutally murdered.

Her visit to the police station earlier hadn’t been in vain. She’d learned that those behind the incident were targeting her and Ashton. And these two innocent girls had lost their lives simply because they got caught in the crossfire.

As her eyes caught a fleeting image in the footage, Briar quickly hit the pause button. Then she zoomed in… and zoomed in again…

Her once emotionless face was replaced with a wild, defiant smirk. “Found you.”

The video revealed a barely visible figure flashing across the surveillance frame.

The person had received professional training. They were quick and deliberate in avoiding cameras. Had Briar not replayed the footage a dozen times and examined it frame by frame, she might’ve missed it too.

Even though the figure moved fast and the video had been blurred and edited, thanks to her top–tier hacking skills, Briar still managed to recognize who

it was.

It was Sawyer, the campus doctor they’d coincidentally encountered jogging outside the university gates that night.

Briar dug into his background using her computer. But oddly enough, the data on this seemingly ordinary Shoneport University doctor was completely inaccessible.

She was just about to tap into her underground hacker network when she paused. After a beat, she picked up her phone and called Ashton.
