A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 155

Kevin strokes Sunny's hair to comfort her, saying, "Stop thinking about it. You can't help with...."

He doesn't know what to say anymore, not sure how to describe this thing as a bystander, because he knows better than anyone that only those who have experienced such pain can understand this feeling.

So he can only change the topic, "Let's go in and see if there are any new clues."

Only then does Sunny regain her senses. "What, do you think there's something wrong?"

Kevin nods. "The weirdest thing about this is why he committed suicide. Was he afraid of the punishment if he got caught?"

Sunny doesn't dig this deeper. "He just feels guilty, so...."

Kevin rubs his chin and says, "So, let's go in and find out what happened exactly."

Sunny does not say anything and follows him in.

When they enter, they encounter the police officer who handled the case that day. Kevin takes a step forward and grabs him.

"Hello, I want to ask about the updates about the murder that happened several days ago. My, my girlfriend came here then."

The police officer looks at Sunny and tries to recall who she is. Finally, he remembers her and what happened that day.

"Yes, I remember now. A lot came up recently. I'll bring you to him right away."

The police officer is nice. He takes Sunny and Kevin to the one in charge of this case.

"Yes, the murderer has been found."

Hearing Kevin's statement, the police officer nods with a heavy heart.

Kevin glances at Sunny and is not surprised to see her nervous expression; so he holds her hand and pinches it.

"However, something doesn't add up. I can't talk about it yet. When we get to the bottom of this, we will let you know."

Kevin nods and says, "Then may I ask if my girlfriend is clean of suspicion?"

Kevin can feel Sunny tightens her grip on him when she hears that.

The police officer shakes his head and replies, "Actually, we all know this has nothing to do with Miss Ellen. It's just that the victim's family were all here that day, so we had to go through the procedures. Miss Ellen, I'm sorry."

Sunny is relieved to hear that and says, "It's fine."

Kevin nods. "Then we should leave now. However, we are also concerned about this case. I hope you can keep us updated."

The police officer nods and says, "When the time comes, we'll tell you everything."

"Then thank you first." After Kevin finishes speaking, he pulls Sunny away.

"Actually, we didn't get anything out of him. His lips were sealed."

When Sunny walks out of the police station, she realizes something is wrong. "He tricked us."

Kevin smiles and holds her hand, saying, "Alright, forget about it. We came here to get you out of the suspect list, understand?"

Sunny curls her lips and says, "It's one thing to know, but it's another to accept."

Just as Kevin is about to say something, Sunny's phone rings, so she fumbles around in her bag for the phone.

"Hello?"

Finding it, she picks it up before seeing clearly the caller ID. "This is Sunny."

Hearing the other party talk, she discovers it is Zola, who hasn't been around for long.

"It's me. What can I do for you?"

"My mother is in the hospital. Your husband did this to her. Where are you?"

From the looks of it, Zola is accusing Kevin of something. So, Sunny looks at the gate in front of her and says, "The police station."

...

"My mother is awake now. She has something to ask you. Come to the hospital now."

Before Sunny can refuse, Zola hangs up.

"How weird...."

Sunny looks at her phone and mutters.

"What's the matter?"

"What's wrong with Zola today? Her attitude is completely different from when she asked me to operate on her."

Kevin isn't surprised and says, "Because she wanted something from you then. What did she say?"

Sunny glances at him and says, "She said her mother was awake. She wants me to go to the hospital and explain things."

Kevin looks indifferent and shrugs, saying, "Are you planning on going there?"

Sunny looks at Kevin and says, "Do you want to go? If you won't go, neither will I."

"Let's go and take a look. We have to face it. I want to know what she has to say."

In the hospital, after Zola hangs up the phone, she sits beside Lora's bed.

"Mom, I told Sunny to come over. We can't let her off this time."
