The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 158

A wave of disappointment went through the room.

But they knew it was to be expected.

After all, a killer who could covertly commit arson wouldn't be foolish enough to brazenly dump a body in full view of a security camera.

"Keep looking."

"The fact that they dared to dump the body there means they're familiar with the area. And I have a gut feeling the killer intentionally dumped the body at that time so we would find it quickly."

Scavengers don't typically search through dumpsters all day. Trash is collected daily, so they have set times to look for recyclables.

The killer must have observed the scavenger's routine and dumped the body beforehand.

"Is the killer taunting us?"

Otherwise, there was no reason to leave the body right under someone's nose. They could have easily hidden it somewhere to delay the police.

"Yes."

"That bastard!"

"What is this person thinking? Are they trying to get revenge on society?"

"Don't try to get inside the head of a psycho killer," Nathan said coolly.

"It's getting late. Everyone should go home and get some rest."

"Alright."

Although finding Zoe's body had helped the police get a glimpse of the killer, a figure wrapped from head to toe was not enough to identify them.

With the sun about to rise, continuing the meeting wouldn't yield any more meaningful leads. It was better for everyone to rest and recharge.

People began to file out of the conference room.

Nora stood up as well, but a sudden wave of dizziness hit her. She swayed on her feet and fell back into the chair.

"Oof—"

Her elbow slammed hard against the armrest, the pain so sharp it brought tears to her eyes.

Afraid that someone would notice her condition, Nora kept her head down, avoiding eye contact.
