Chapter 1267


    Violet’s time of death should have been two days ago, ording to the police.


    She had been staying at a hotel, and two days ago, the housekeeping staff noticed that the “Do Not


    Disturb” sign was still on her door. This was not unusual, so they did not pay much attention. However,


    the sign was still there two dayster, and the staff became suspicious.


    The hotel manager had knocked on the door, but there had been no answer. They then used the


    master key to open the door and discovered a horrifying scene inside.


    “Her body had no external injuries,” Fred lowered his voice as he spoke to Zuko and Lina from the


    police station. “But they found toxins in her blood after the forensic examination…”


    “She was poisoned?” Lina found it puzzling. “Has theposition of the toxin been analyzed?”


    “It’s currently under investigation,” Fred replied, leaning against the wall with a heavy heart.


    Although Fred was not on good terms with Violet’s family, he was still a Grist. He did not want to see


    his niece die under his nose either.


    “Have you checked the surveince footage? Did anyone go in and out of Violet’s room these past few


    days?” Zuko asked.


    Fred replied, “She’s been in Centrolis for quite some time. None of us knew she was here. I only found


    out after investigating the incident at the film studio event.”


    “Could she havemitted suicide out of fear aftermitting the crime?” Lina said softly, “After all,


    poisoning and endangering public safety are serious charges.”


    –


    As they had spected, the police delivered news of the arrest of a suspect in the crime.


    Fred, who had anxiously waited for a whole day, perked up. However, the truth stunned him.


    ording to the police, during the interrogation, the suspect confessed that the Grists had sent him.


    When questioned about the reason for killing Violet, the person imed that the Grists didn’t want to


    support a waste anymore.


    Fred fell silent.


    The suspect’s words sounded like something Violet’s selfish and overbearing parents would say. The


    entire family considered the disfigured Violet worse than worthless, and her death was not regrettable.


    Lina couldn’t help but feel skeptical, however.


    –


    It was already early morning when they left the police station. The air was cool, and the ground was


    wet from the rain the night before.


    Zuko held Lina tightly, trying to keep her warm.


    “What are you thinking?” Zuko asked in a low voice. “Let’s have breakfast first.”


    Lina frowned. “Zuko, don’t you find this situation strange?”


    Zuko paused.


    The whole matter was quite odd. The person who had harmed the celebrities at the party was caught,


    and the reason for their vomiting and diarrhea was found. Violet’s death could be considered a


    deserved retribution, and even the person who killed her was detained.Books Chapters Are Daily

    In theory, everything had been perfectly resolved.


    However, there was still a lingering concern in his heart, as if the true mastermind behind all of this was


    still lurking.


    “What do you find strange?” Zuko asked Lina.


    “If the Grists really considered Violet worthless, why didn’t they deal with her in Jangasas? Why wait


    until now to send someone to Centrolis to deal with her?”


    Zuko squinted. “So, you think there might be someone else behind this?”


    Lina murmured, “The police checked the surveince footage and found that Violet checked into the


    hotel before the film studio celebration event. The person arrested imed to be acting on Violet’s


    instructions. Now Violet is poisoned to death… I keep feeling that there’s an invisible connection


    between these events.


    “The key point is the person who brought her to Jangasas!”


    Zuko nodded, fully agreeing with Lina’s thoughts.


    ‘As for the person who brought Violet to Jangasas…’ A thought shed through Zuko’s mind like a bolt


    of lightning.


    –


    Zuko sent Lina home to rest and went to Janine’s residence alone.


    Janine lived in a vi near the coast. She had been used to being alone, but after meeting Jim, she felt


    the desire to settle down. She had bought the vi because of its quiet environment, which was perfect


    for writing.


    Although she and Jim mostly lived in Chaisnd, she enjoyed staying there when they returned for


    vacation.


    Zuko rang the doorbell.


    Janine opened the door a momentter and patted her grandson’s head. She was happy to see him


    and was ready to give him some gift money.


    Zuko cried helplessly, “Grandma, I’m all grown up!”


    “You’re still your grandmother’s baby grandson, no matter how old you are!” Janineughed happily.


    “What brings you to visit me today?”


    “I wanted to ask when Grandpa Jim’s new work will be released!”


    “Still a long way to go!” Janine pouted. “That old man focuses on writing and doesn’t care about me


    when he’s busy with his work. He didn’t evene with me to Centrolis this time. Hmph! That’s fine. I


    don’t care!”


    Zuko paused for a moment. “Grandma, do you think Grandpa Jim’s new work this time should involve a


    bizarre murder case?”

    “I actually do.” Zuko looked at her seriously. “And this materiales from around me. Perhaps… it’s
