The staff member gave Lila a quick once-over before his expression shifted to a more serious one. "Which case are you referring to?"

Lila answered, "The car accident involving Henry Hart and his wife 12 years ago."

He seemed to recognize the case but didn't say much after some thought. "You should talk to Officer Rob. He was in charge of the investigation and would know more."

Lila felt confused but accepted the address he had written down. "Officer, do you remember anything else about this case?"

"When the accident happened, I had just started here. From what I remember, it caused quite a stir at the time. But I wasn't involved in the investigation, so I don't know the details."
