Chapter 152 Who Are You?

Although the police had been alarmed, Layla still asked Cameron to accompany her to check out the location where Christopher was injured.

It was the back alley of a bar. The alley was dimly lit, and only one surveillance camera was installed in the whole stretch of it. The location of Christopher’s accident happened to be in the blind spot of the surveillance camera.

According to Cameron, Christopher had been found by a bartender. The bartender had called an ambulance but did not report the accident to the police. By the time Cameron learned about it, Christopher had already been taken to the hospital.

The first thing that came into Cameron’s mind was to call the police. However, he canceled that thought after carefully considering the recent situation in Romdale. He then informed the Solace family and waited for their arrival before making any decision.

Not long after Layla arrived, the police also reached the scene.

The lighting in the back alley was dark, and the ground was very slippery. Except for the blood stains left by Christopher’s wound, there were only some messy shoe prints at the scene, which were not left behind by one person but by a few people.

Thus, it was a crime committed by a group of people.

The police also investigated the surveillance cameras nearby. However, the crime scene was in one of the largest entertainment areas in Romdale. It was difficult for them to investigate further since the people nearby were not only huge in number but also complicated.

The police summoned the barkeeper and bartender to make a statement. Still, they found nothing.

It was almost dawn when Layla and the rest left the bar.

The head of the police said to Layla, “Don’t worry, Ms. Solace. We’ll continue to investigate this incident and give you an explanation. Please inform us when Christopher regains consciousness. I’ll arrange for someone to take a statement from him in the hospital.”

Layla shook his hand and said with a smile, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome. This is our job,” the head of police said.

After bidding farewell to the police, Layla and Cameron got into the car and prepared to return to the hospital.

Cameron was driving, and Layla was sitting in the backseat.

Layla looked out the window quietly and recalled what she had seen at the scene earlier. She slightly knitted her brows and felt that something was off.
