Chapter 301

True to his word, Harrison did exactly what he promised.

The next day, the police received an anonymous email.

The email detailed the case process extensively and provided such comprehensive evidence that it was enough to close the case on the spot.

The sheriff, after toiling for so long with nothing to show for it, was left without words.

What the hell was this?

A free lunch?

Even though it felt a bit odd, cracking the case was still good news.

After validating the email evidence and confirming its legitimacy, the police issued a statement.

Firstly, there was a video clip, seemingly shot by a hidden camera. It proved that Jane was murdered, and the perpetrator was that security guard.

Secondly, there was an audio recording. It appeared to be orders from a higher–up to the security guard, telling him to take out Jane and pin it on Ben and Susan.

Thirdly, the security guard had a small tattoo on the back of his neck. After checking, this tattoo was found to be the signature symbol of the Phoenix Collective. The archivist who committed suicide had an

identical tattoo too.

Collective, and their actions were directed by the organization to frame Ben and Susan in order to

case.

With that, the case was closed.

Online users passed the investigation findings to the security guard’s wife. Yet, the individual who had earlier professed to be seeking justice for her father vanished abruptly once the evidence came to light.

The police then released another statement, indicating that the wife had abruptly left the country, believed to be leaving for Riowert.

For a time, everyone was somewhat speechless.

They’d been completely taken advantage of once more.

“Alright, I’ve been burned before. Next time I hear any gossip about Ben and Susan, I’ll take it with a grain of salt.”

“I was wrong again.”
