Unknowingly, Sylvia fell asleep.
When she woke up in the morning, sunlight filled the room with warmth.
Fortunately, despite the rush, she had not forgotten to bring daily necessities and a change of clothes.
After washing up and putting on clean clothes, Sylvia left the room.
As soon as she stepped out, she received a call from Logan. "Boss, we have a lead."
"Where are you now?" Sylvia pressed the elevator button without looking up, and the doors opened as she stepped in.
"I'm at the East Gate. Should I come to you? I'm driving!" Logan's voice was intermittent due to poor signal in the elevator.
Luckily, Sylvia understood him.
The East Gate was about twenty minutes away. Without hesitation, she headed to the hotel's self-service breakfast area and grabbed a meal.
Although it was a complimentary hotel breakfast, it was nutritious and abundant.
She ate while browsing the latest news on her phone.
The trending topics still featured Longevity Pharmaceuticals, with high engagement.
After skimming through a few articles, she put her phone away and focused on her breakfast.
Just as she finished her last sip of soy milk, Logan messaged her, "Boss, I'm at the hotel entrance. Come out."
Sylvia elegantly wiped her lips with a napkin and walked out.
Logan's car was parked at the temporary parking spot at the hotel entrance.
Sylvia opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. "Any new discoveries?"
"Gloria came from a poor family. She had a seriously ill brother who needed a bone marrow transplant. She worked at a karaoke bar, but her meager income couldn't cover her brother's medical expenses. However, just days before her death, her account suddenly had an extra two million dollars," Logan reported his findings to Sylvia.
"The DNA results are also out. The skin tissue under her nails matched her brother's. Her brother told the police everything. When she died, it seemed like someone was strangling her, but there were no marks on her neck. She died of asphyxiation with her brother by her side, so she instinctively scratched his hand."
"No one strangled her?" Sylvia raised an eyebrow. "That's bizarre."
Logan agreed. "It is bizarre because the police found no other fingerprints or traces on her body. It looked like she was strangled, but her brother insists no one touched her."
"Additionally, she used one million dollars to pay for her brother's surgery, which was done yesterday. The remaining million was transferred to her brother's account. Her actions seem strange, almost as if she foresaw her own death and was making arrangements."
Logan voiced his doubts. "Her brother said he called a doctor when she was dying, but she refused help. After she passed away, he fainted from grief. When he woke up, her body was gone."
Sylvia glanced out the window. "This case is indeed strange, full of contradictions yet shrouded in mystery."
She smirked. "On the surface, it looks like asphyxiation by strangulation. But what is the real cause of death? I want to know."
"Let's meet with the police first," Logan suggested, feeling overwhelmed by the complexity of the case.
Meanwhile, another perplexing incident occurred involving an English institution where a leading parent protester suddenly had a car accident.
The parents were left leaderless.
Franchisees were at a loss and went to the spokesperson's residence to protest, causing a commotion that trended online. Despite all the noise and chaos, there were no results.
The victims were furious.
Mrs. Kaur was delighted. "It seems this talisman really works. Truly remarkable!"
Nola was skeptical and fearful. "Mom, could this talisman be harmful? How did that leader end up in a car accident? Could it be some sort of curse?"
She didn't fully trust such mystical practices and felt something was off.
"Who cares? As long as it solves my problems," Mrs. Kaur dismissed Nola's concerns, overjoyed and almost dancing with glee. "Oh, this expert is amazing."
With some money left and feeling lucky, Mrs. Kaur decided to gamble.
She told Nola, "I have something to do outside."
