Violet replied nonchalantly, “Oh, alright! What sort of case are you in charge of?”
Kevin answered, “A woman got killed by a bomb after getting kidnapped. We’re investigating this woman’s identity right now. We think there was bad blood between the woman and the kidnapper.”
He let out a soft chuckle, his tone now gentle. “I won’t go into the details. You’re a scaredy cat—if you listen to the case details, you won’t be able to sleep at all.”
I just sneered while watching this scene unfold before my eyes. How ironic.
Kevin even had time to worry about whether or not Violet was scared. But he never thought about where I could possibly be at the moment.
All this time, Kevin treated Violet completely differently than the way he treated me.
After Kevin ended the call, he continued watching William cross-check the database on missing people with the victim’s criteria.
It was already past midnight by the time the cross-checking process was over. None of them fit the criteria.
The case had gone into a stalemate. For a moment, everyone fell silent as they thought about what to do next.
Kevin just stared at my body. After that, he said, “Let’s publicize the victim’s characteristics and see if there were still cases of missing people which had yet to be reported to the police.”
William nodded. Soon, he got in touch with the local TV station. My incident was broadcast throughout the city in less than ten minutes.
A while later, Kevin’s phone rang abruptly.
I happened to be standing next to him in a dazed state. The moment I heard the voice coming from the other end of the line, I snapped out of my trance immediately.
It was my dad. He told Kevin anxiously, “Kevin, Michelle has been missing for a few days! Her characteristics fit the ones that are spread by the police!”
