When James heard Winnie’s question, he instinctively handed her the phone.

“Here, you can see—” As soon as those words escaped his mouth, James stopped abruptly, remembering that Winnie could no longer see.

Coughing drily to cover up his embarrassment, he quickly retracted his hand. “The texts that he had previously sent you are still kept in the phone,” he explained.

Winnie furrowed her eyebrows upon hearing that. “The chat history between him and me is kept, but not the others?”

“That’s right. He probably cleared the data on his phone before contacting you. Even the call history had been cleared. However…” James changed the point of focus. “There’s a missed call during the day of the incident. Unfortunately, we only discover this now. It has been a few days since the incident. If the caller was Harold’s ally, they would have probably gotten the news that Harold had gone into hiding.”

Winnie nodded in response. “Are there any clues we can obtain from the phone number?”

James shook his head no. “I don’t think so. It’s obvious that this is a fake number generated by the internet. We most likely wouldn’t be able to find anything, but these are all just my assumptions.”

As he spoke, he passed the phone to David, who was standing beside him. “Take a look.”

David accepted the phone from James and confirmed that it was a fake number with just one glance. “Phone numbers like this are usually a one-time random generation. There’s not much value in this discovery. The number will definitely be unavailable.”

The keys of the old phone were proportionately much smaller compared to David’s thumb. As he was inspecting the phone number, he accidentally pressed the dial button.

Startled that he had pressed the button, he quickly reassured the others, “It’s ok. Everything’s fine. It won’t affect anything. After all, the number is unavailable.”

Amused, James teased David in feigned anger. “You’re almost forty years old. How are you as clumsy as a prepubescent boy?”

“Hehe.” David chuckled sheepishly before handing the phone back to James. “See? Nothing happened!”
