Chapter 0701

Suzy followed the trail relentlessly, the scent leading her out of the police station and into a narrow, dimly lit alleyway.

It was only when the scent began to fade that she stopped.

The smell had dissipated, but there was no sign of anyone.

Standing in the middle of the alley, surrounded by darkness and suffocating stillness, Suzy let out a cold laugh.

Her voice, calm and steady, cut through the silence. "What's the matter? Afraid to show yourself?"

She was almost certain someone was nearby. The scent had been deliberately left to lure her here.

The quiet remained unbroken as if the world around her held its breath. Suzy spoke again, her tone laced with disdain.

"Blaming everything on Claude and expecting me to believe he's alive? No matter how well you imitate him, you can fool others, but not me.

"If you really want me to believe you're Claude, then show yourself. Stand in front of me and let me see you with my own eyes."

Her words hung in the air, met with the same oppressive silence.

If the person had gone to such lengths to draw her here but refused to reveal themselves, then this wasn't about confrontation.

It was about something else.

Just as Suzy's brows furrowed in thought, a voice came from the end of the alley. "Suzy, I can't believe you broke out of jail!"
