Chapter 229: Chapter 226: The End

The entire afternoon was spent discussing without reaching any breakthrough conclusions, leading to a reluctant adjournment of the meeting.

After everyone left, only Galen Collins remained seated alone, his hand covering his forehead, clearly troubled by the matter.

Starting from a couple of missing person cases to the current thousands, the situation escalated too quickly, leaving no clues.

After a long while, he exhaled deeply, glanced at the phone beside him, and remembered Luna.

For some reason, he began to feel a sense of regret.

Perhaps...

His tone back then had been a bit harsh.

After some thought, he decided to call Luna back.

Very soon, the call connected. He hesitated for a long time, unsure how to begin, but the other party spoke first: "Are you finished with work?"

"Yes," he replied. "Tell me, what’s up?"

"Has George Lyle’s DNA sample been found? Also, I want you to help me look into someone, Kelly Wright."

Hearing George’s name reminded him, although he had informed the police, there had been no follow-up since.

However, Lewis had mentioned this to him previously, but he had been too busy to listen.

Coincidentally, he needed to get some documents from there, so he said, "I’ll head over to get something later. If you’re in a hurry, come with me."

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, but eventually, the response came, "Alright, where should I wait for you?"

"No need, I’ll pick you up. Where are you?"

...

——— The neighborhood.

Luna lay on the bed and hung up the phone.

She had George’s hair and could quickly do a DNA comparison, speeding things up.

But... she didn’t want to see Galen Collins again, not even a bit.

Maybe because she hadn’t moved on yet.
