Chapter 36

“Officer Landon, do you suspect this is the scene of the first incident?” a colleague asked. Zion nodded.

Steve stared pointedly at the door and then turned to start looking around.

The welfare home was large and had been abandoned for many years. Earlier, the police had searched it several times before but found nothing.

Steve picked up a stick and began searching everywhere. I followed behind Zion anxiously as well.

Was I about to be discovered? Nobody could escape justice. If the police were diligent, they should be able to find the scene of the first incident.

Michael’s expression was also grim as he followed the police in silence.

“Mike…” Jack’s voice trembled, hesitating.

“Speak.” Michael frowned. He shot Jack a warning look.

“The monitoring device in my garage…” he trailed off.

He continued, “I checked the computer yesterday and found a recording… from the night of the 15th…

Not only did Jack’s voice tremble, but his legs too. He kept hesitating on whether he should speak. Upon seeing Michael, who called off his wedding and came to find Stephanie, Jack suddenly panicked.

I could tell that Jack was truly scared. He feared the police investigation might lead to him.

“I’m sorry, Mike. I didn’t know, I really had no idea…” Jack handed the USB drive to Michael and retreated in a panic.

Michael’s expression darkened as he turned to look at Zion.
