Chapter 351
“What?” Lisanne eximed. “How do you know that the police havee looking for me? Are you also
looking for me? Where are you now? I’m already at the entrance. Howe I don’t see you?”“No,”
rified Winnie. “I just passed by your station and met two police officers that I know. One of them is
Greta. You should know her because you have seen her photo before.”“By the way, I saw…” Halfway
through her sentence, Lisanne lowered her voice all of a sudden. “Winnie, I can’t tell you much
because this matter is confidential.”“Confidential?” Instinctively, Winnie frowned. “It must be a big deal
then.”“Yes, but I really can’t share the details with you. Please don’t ask me anymore.”Winnie
acknowledged her request and said, “I understand. Since you can’t tell me, then I won’t ask. But,
Lisanne, please don’t take unnecessary risks and stay safe always.”Winnie was aware that both Greta
and James were not ordinary police officers.That was especially true for Greta. All her assignments
were very challenging.Winnie recalled the day when she sent the body of Mason over. Greta took the
initiative and asked James for permission to participate in the investigation regarding Mason. However,
James turned her down straight away and told her that their superiors had assigned another case to
her.Winnie assumed that the assignment that Greta had must be rted to Lisanne and the science
academy.With that thought in mind, Winnie reminded her again, “You have to take care of your own
safety. You are a scientist, not abatant. No matter what you may encounter in the future, save
yourself first.”“Don’t worry, Winnie. The police will protect us. Furthermore, I’m not alone. Oh, crap! I
slipped up again. I really can’t chat with you any longer. In a short while, I’ll be going to the Director’s
office.”“All right then. I won’t take up your time. Please remember what I told you.”“Got it.” After a while,
Lisanne said, “After this, you may not be able to get in touch with me for some time. But there’s no
need to worry. It’s normal.”“I understand. Bye.”After ending the call, Winnie asked the driver to send her
to Josiah’s hospital.On the way there, she had already phoned Josiah and informed him.Therefore,
once Winnie arrived at the hospital, he took her straight to theboratory.Josiah handed her a set of
protective gear ording to her request. “What do you intend to do?”“To prepare myself,” replied
Winnie as she put on the protective gear. “Harold is very well prepared, and we should do that as well.N?velDrama.Org content rights.
Avenport isn’t Manchernius. Therefore, Harold can bring with him any weapons he wants to, but not us.
Hence, we have to take things that have instant effects but don’t cause major harm so that we will be
able to restrain him at the crucial juncture.”“I understand” Josiah nodded. “That’s easy. I can supply you
with an endless number of scalpels. Rumor has it I own a limited-edition scalpel studded with
diamonds. Do you want it?”“A diamond-studded scalpel?” Winnie rolled her eyes at him. “Such an
expensive thing. Save it for yourself.”Josiah burst outughing. “I was just joking with you. You actually
believed me. Since when you have seen such a scalpel?”Winnie red at him again. “How should I
know? Perhaps, that’s a hobby of yours?”The two of them helped one another zip up before entering
theboratory.Halfway through, Winnie’s phone rang out loudly. It was a troublesome thing to remove
and put back on a protective suit. However, Winnie thought it might be something urgent, so she left
theboratory immediately.It was Jasmine from Gand Group.After Winnie answered the call, her
expression changed dramatically.Josiah, who had been in theboratory and keeping an eye on Winnie
all the while, walked toward the ss window when he saw the change in her face.He knocked on the
ss and gestured to her to answer her phone.Theboratory was soundproof, so they had to
communicate via their phones.Winnie answered his call promptly and told Josiah, “Something’s
happened. Thepany received a threatening parcel. I have to go there right now.”Josiah frowned.
“Is it addressed to you?”“Yes. I’m seldom at Gand Group, so there aren’t many people who will send
me things there. My assistant will open up all of my parcels and look through them before passing the
valuable items to me. This time around, there may be human blood inside this particr
parcel.”“Should I go with you?”“No need for that. You continue with whatever you are doing. Other than
Harold, I can’t think of anyone else who will do such a thing. I will contact Captain Gibson at once.”“All
right.” Whatever Josiah was doing at the present moment was equally important, so he did not insist on
following Winnie to Gand Group. “Go on then. Be careful. Once I’m done, I’ll send it over to
you.”Winnie nodded and left in a hurry.On the way to thepany, she made a phone call to the
police. In the end, David arrived at Gand Group before her because of their respective locations.By
the time she arrived, David and the others were already waiting in the conference room. The bloodied
parcel was also on the table.She strode up to the parcel. One look, and she confirmed that it was sent
by Harold!That was because there was a puppet the length of a forearm. The word “Mason” was
written on the puppet’s face in blood. As for the midsection of the puppet, it had been shed open and
filled with bloodied cotton wool.The blood stained the box and emitted a metallic stench.That was the
exact state in which Mason was found dead.In that instant, Winnie clenched her fists and said angrily,
“This is a provocation from Harold!”With that, she turned to Jasmine and asked, “Did you see the
person who sent this parcel?”Jasmine shook her head. “No, but the receptionist might have seen the
person.”David added, “I have already sent for the receptionist.”“Fine. Captain Gibson, let’s go to the
control room. Please get them to send the receptionist directly there.”David acknowledged and
instructed someone to do so.The control room was on the second floor. When they reached there, two
police officers and the receptionist were already there.The security guard retrieved the surveince
footage from earlier on. They saw a total of three couriers entering the lobby, but only one of them was
wearing a cap and a mask.That man did an excellent job of concealing his face. The surveince
cameras could not capture his full face at all.Even the receptionist did not get a good look. “I could only
see his eyes. Even then, he looked as if he was squinting his eyes on purpose. He didn’t say anything,
so I didn’t hear his voice. I only know he’s very tall and roughly around the height of our CEO. Other
than that, I have no idea.”“That sounds about right,” said Winnie with a frown. She then turned to
David. “Harold has a simr height and build as Xavier. This courier is very suspicious.”
