“I understand,” Winnie said as she wore her gloves quickly.

Just as she reached out to take the letter, a white-gloved hand moved quicker than hers to take it.

It was Xavier’s.

“Let me do it,” he offered.

If there were an issue with the letter, he would rather put himself in danger than jeopardize the woman he loved.

Even so, he was well aware that the letter was probably safe because it had gone through numerous people, all of which appeared to be fine.

Nevertheless, Xavier did not want to place Winnie in danger as long as there was a sliver of chance behind it.

He pulled out a chair to sit beside the table and carefully opened the letter to uncover a piece of folded A4 paper.

There was no blood or powder on the paper, so it did not seem hazardous.

He unfolded the paper, revealing a black-and-white picture and an address.

It was a general address for a residential area with no specific house number.

Winnie was confounded. “What does this mean? Why would he send me a picture and an address?”

She stared at Xavier, confused. “Is this his hiding place? Does he want me to look for him?”

“Wait a moment,” Xavier softly replied as he turned to the security manager to ask for the surveillance footage.

After the security manager left, he opened the surveillance footage on his laptop and said to Winnie, “Let’s watch this first.”

“Okay!”

They watched the footage together and got a clear glimpse of the homeless man’s face on the screen.

Winnie observed him for a moment and uttered, “He didn’t try to conceal himself, and his height and build are wrong. He’s definitely not Harold. He must have found a random person to do this.”
