Seeing that, Zeke grew curious. Logically speaking, she wouldn't know a thing about Lacey's disappearance. The battle was carried out in a small barrier up above. Nobody outside of it would know anything about what went on inside. The most they would notice was the sound of thunder. Since Dawnie is usually so carefree, why does she look so troubled now?
Dawn's mood lifted immediately when she saw Zeke. “You're here, Zeke!”
Zeke sat down across from Dawn. “Dawnie, what's wrong? Why do you look so troubled?”
Dawn sighed and answered, “Two of my accountants have suddenly disappeared. Now, the company's accounts are a mess!”
“Oh, I see. It's all right. You just have to hire another two accountants, and they'll come to sort everything out for you,” Zeke answered.
In response, Dawn said, “Well, that's just one of the issues I'm having. Zeke, you might find this unbelievable, but I think those two accountants are murderers! If they did murder someone, Linton Group would be affected as well.”
“Murderers?” Zeke asked curiously. “What's going on? Tell me.”
Acting all mysterious, Dawn uttered, “After they left, I went to their office to look for some information regarding the company's accounts. However, guess what I found in their drawer!”
After saying that, Dawn couldn't help but feel a chill running down her spine.
“What did you find?” Zeke asked.
“Skeleton hands! A pair of skeleton hands! There were even some blood vessels on the bone, showing they were probably severed not long ago. When I first saw them, they scared me half to death!” Dawn uttered emotionally.
A pair of skeleton hands? For some reason, Zeke immediately thought about the huge hand he had encountered. Is this related to the huge hand that took Lacey?
At that moment, he was still very worked up by the huge hand. Hence, he couldn't help but think about it when something related to a hand was brought up.
As he would soon come to find out, his suspicions were actually valid.
Zeke anxiously said, “Tell me about the skeleton hands!”
“Well, they're just an ordinary pair of human hands.”
“Bring me to see them now!”
In response, Dawn answered, “Zeke, we shouldn't go there. I've already reported it to the police, and they've already sealed off the place.”
“Dawnie, this is very important to me and isn't a small matter. Bring me there this instant,” Zeke said.
Seeing how anxious Zeke was, Dawn knew how important the matter was to him. With a nod, she said, “All right. Let's go. I'll bring you there!”
With that, Dawn brought Zeke to the scene.
At that time, Zeke was overwhelmed by conflicting emotions. If this is related to the huge hand, that means it was a premeditated kidnap!
“Dawnie, when did those two accountants join the company?” Zeke asked.
After deliberating on it, Dawn answered, “Around two years ago.”
Two years? They've been hiding in Linton Group for the past two years? How did I not notice anything? F*ck! With that in mind, Zeke asked, “Did those two accountants behave weirdly all this while?”
Dawn thought about it and shook her head. “No. They were like ordinary people.”
“When Linton Group was in trouble, neither of them left. Instead, they suddenly disappeared right after Linton Group was back on its feet. There's definitely something wrong with these two people!”
Dawn nodded. “Exactly! There's definitely something wrong with them. Not only did they kill someone, but they also kept a pair of skeleton hands in the office! That's so weird!”
Soon, they arrived at the office those two accountants worked in.
The office had been sealed off, and the police were busy conducting their investigation there.
