Chapter 524


    Chapter 524 Melody and Cynthia


    “Do you know the identity of the corpse then?” Toby asked coldly. That was the most important question


    for the time being.


    Tim adjusted his sses. “Not sure. I’ve taken the corpse’s fingerprint sample and went through the


    database, but I found no match. You’ll have to look into this yourself.”


    “It’s not going to be easy.” Sonia bit her lip. When she took a look at the corpse’s face earlier, it was


    nothing but a mangled mess. Now that Tim couldn’t even confirm the corpse’s identity through the


    fingerprint, it would definitely be an uphill battle for them to investigate the matter.


    Just then, one officer rushed over with a stack of files in his hand. “Sir, we’vepiled the visiting record


    for Tina Gray!”


    Everyone looked at the files the officer was holding at once.


    “Give them to me.” Toby went over and took the files from the officer.


    Sonia followed him closely and stood beside him. She huddled closer so she could take a look as well.


    The file was only two pages long. The first page detailed Julia’s visits, and asionally Titus’. There was


    nothing there, so Toby flipped over to the second page. Most of the records were simr to the first


    page’s, but when they got to the final few records, Toby and Sonia frowned.


    “Melody? Cynthia?” Sonia was surprised. “Why did theye to visit her? And in thest couple of days


    too?”


    Toby narrowed his eyes. “Mr. Olsen, these are your prime suspects. It’s possible they helped Tina to


    escape.”


    “I see, Mr. Fuller. I’ll get someone to take them here.” Teddy took the files from him.


    Toby grunted and looked at the officer who brought the files over. “Do you have the surveince footage


    of these two visiting Tina?”


    “Yes.” The officer nodded.


    Tim said, “Let’s watch it in my office. There’s a PC and projector there.”


    Everyone agreed, and they went to Tim’s office. The officer inserted the USB drive into the PC and


    projected it onto the big screen.


    Toby sat down on the couch and patted the spot beside him. “Sit right here. It’s a great spot.”


    Sonia rolled her eyes. We’re not watching a movie right now. You don’t have to pick a good spot. In the


    end, she still went and sat beside him.


    Toby smiled, happy that she did what he asked her to, and everyone around him could feel that he was


    in a great mood.


    The video started ying. The first one was Melody and Cynthia’s first visit. Sonia noticed that they went


    into Tina’s ward and came out after half an hour, then they left. Nothing else happened during that period


    of time.


    Toby frowned. “Why do you only have surveince footage outside of the room? Don’t you have a CCTV


    camera inside?”


    Teddy sighed. “Let me exin. She might be a criminal, but she’s still entitled to privacy. We can only


    record everything outside her room, but not the inside. That’s why we know nothing about what


    happened inside.”


    Toby pursed his lips and said nothing more.


    The second video started ying momentster. It was Melody and Cynthia’sst time visiting Tina. This


    time, Sonia noticed something wrong. Melody went into the room, but she didn’t look too happy. Cynthia


    was looking weird as well. She was wearing a cap and a mask, and she wouldn’t even look up for a


    second. More importantly, she looked fearful.


    At that point, Sonia sat up straighter and started looking serious. Toby did the same as well. He stared at


    the video and thought about something.


    Melody and Cynthia didn’t stay in the room for too long this time. Less than ten minutester, they left,


    and they never came to visit Tina again.


    “It’s obvious now.” Tim looked at the video and sneered. “During the first visit, Tina must have threatened


    Melody and asked for her help. That’s why Melody looked so glum in the second video.”


    “So Cynthia’s the one who became Tina’s stand-in?” Tom asked.


    “No,” Toby answered.


    “She’s not?” Tom was surprised.


    Sonia nodded. “I don’t think so either. Cynthia is an aristocrat after all, so Tina would never ask her to do


    that. Which means that person in the second video was not the real Cynthia. They just used her identity


    as a cover. Notice the cap and mask?”


    “Yes. Tina, or probably Melody, must have promised that person something; something big enough to


    buy her life. So the person who came back out with Melody must have been Tina, while the stand-in


    stayed behind,” Toby tapped his knees and exined coldly.


    Teddy punched the wall angrily, looking solemn. “What do they think lives are? Toys?”


    Tim said, “Now you can tell your men to take Melody and Cynthia over. And hunt Tina down no matter


    what.”


    Toby nodded. “She should still be in Seafield, so you must locate her ASAP.”


    “You’re right. I’ll tell my boss now.” Teddy took his phone out.


    Toby grunted. “It’ste, so we’ll be leaving now.”


    The next part was the police’s job, so they didn’t have to stay around.


    “Okay. I’ll call you once I have any news.” Teddy nodded.


    Toby stood up and extended his hand to Sonia. “Let’s go home now.”


    Sonia looked at his hand, but she didn’t hold it. Instead, she stood up. “Correction. You are taking me


    home. Just have to make that clear.” Go home? Do you have any idea how misleading that is? If the


    others didn’t know better, they would think we were going home together.


    Since Sonia wouldn’t hold his hand, Toby smiled drily and put his hand down.


    After saying goodbye to Tim, they walked to the elevator, and it didn’t take long for them toe back


    down to the lobby.


    The Grays were there as well. Titus was sitting on a bench, his head hanging low. There was an air of


    despair and sadness around him, while Julia was sitting beside him with her head buried in her hands as


    she sobbed quietly. Even Rina was gripping her phone tightly, and her eyes were red, as if she was


    holding her sorrow in.


    Sonia arched her eyebrow. “Did Titus’ condition get worse?”


    “How are you sure about that? They might be sad because ‘Tina’s dead.’” Toby looked at her.


    Sonia pointed her chin at Rina. “Because she won’t look so sad if it’s because of Tina. The only reason


    for that would be Titus’ condition.”


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “You have a point.” Toby nodded.


    The Grays looked up when they heard the sound of footstepsing closer, and they were surprised to


    see Sonia with Toby and Tom. They thought Sonia was the only person who came, but they never


    thought Toby was around as well. However, it was obvious in hindsight. After all, Sonia was all Toby


    cared about, so he would follow her wherever she went.
