Chapter 34


    Chapter 34 The Body Is Missing


    “She left,” Idris said, his dark eyes still fixed on me. This man was much taller than me, and talking to


    him with my head tilted back made my neck hurt, so I simply avoided any further conversation.


    I tore open the hydrogen peroxide and cotton balls to treat his wound, which was indeed deep. I could


    see the manyyers under his skin split open. I could not help but gasp inwardly–that seemingly tiny


    life was really very sharp. If it had been a ?man attacking, I feared that Idris‘ hand would have been


    forever ruined.


    He hissed in pain, perhaps because I had been too rough.


    old coldly. “Bear with


    I paused for a moment, looked up at him with a dark face, and the pain. I’m not Moore. I can’t give you


    any sweet, soft words ”


    He just smiled silently at me.


    I did not want to talk to him any more than necessary. I quickly treated his wound and cleaned up the


    trash, then listened in to the police officers nearby.


    I could not help but look over when I heard voices from their direction, only to see a mutted puppy


    lying in the opened trunk. It had probably been there for days and was somewhat dposed.


    The police officer looked puzzled after checking the scene and frowned at me. “Ms. Scott, what’s going


    on here?”


    I was also baffled and nced at Bt’s wife. She seemed to be in a daze, looking at the dead dog in


    the trunk and muttering to herself, “He deserved to die, he deserved to die…”


    I could not figure out what was happening. I repeated to the police what the woman had told me earlier


    in the cafe, saying helplessly, “I don’t get it either. She didn’t seem to be lying at the time, which is why I


    asked you toe here and check.”


    After looking over the scene, the police officer said to another officer, “Take her statement, and try to


    get in touch with the person she ims was killed to verify the situation.”


    The other officer nodded and then questioned Bt’s wife. After the police interviewed her, I learned


    that this woman’s name was Sophia Sanchez and she was in her forties. If not for learning her age, I


    would have always thought she was just in her thirties as she looked so young.


    Regarding the murder and the hidden b*dy in the car, she told the police the same story she told me in


    the cafe, but when the police asked her where the b*dy was, she kept repeating that it was in the trunk.


    As they were unable to find Bt’s b*dy and unable to contact him, I called the front desk at Scott


    Corporation and asloed them to look for Bt from the finance department,


    In the end, I got the news that Bt had gone on a business trip to Tully City five days ago and had


    not returned. I got his contact number from the front desk, but the call did not go through.


    With no b*dy found and the supposed victim unreachable, the pollee could not confirm anything,


    Sophia kept muttering, “I killed him, stabbed him over and over again. There was so much blood… The


    house was covered in blood. I was so happy! i finally killed him”


    After judging her mental state, the police took her home. There was indeed a pool of blood in the living


    room. At first, the police thought it was human blood, but after testing, they discovered it was the blood


    of the dead dog, not human blood.


    Since the supposed victim could not be reached and the police could not confirm the situation for the


    time being, they stayed at Sophia’s house, looking for the b*dy and questioning her.


    This situation was strange, and I was not in a hurry to leave. Idris, on the other hand, was receiving one


    phone call after another. I did not need to guess to know it was Moore calling


    I looked at him and could not help but sneer. “You seem busy, Mr. Young”


    He did not look at his phone but at me, asking, “When do you n to leave?”


    I frowned. “I have no ns to leave. I’m also curious about what’s going on here. I want to know


    whether Bt is dead or

    alive as this matter involves Scott Corporation.”


    He frowned, declined the call on his phone screen, and looked at me. “Whether Bt is dead or alive,


    Scott Corporation is going to make the headlines tomorrow.”


    As he spoke, he nced at two young men standing outside Sophia’s house.


    They were holding cameras. I was startled and looked up at him. “Did you call the reporters?”


    He raised an eyebrow, disdainfully saying, “I don’t have that kind of time. They probably just happened


    to be passing by. Yvette, if you don’t leave now, it won’t just be Scott Corporation on the front page of


    Lake City’s news tomorrow. Young Corporation might just bask in the limelight too.”? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
