No one mentioned the fact that Julie had a miscarriage again. The most important thing right now was the dismemberment.
Black turned back and said, "Captain Noah and Nina, I got the news that the owner of these two clothes are not at home. Our men asked the neighbors and they said that the two men were on a long trip a week ago."
"A week ago again?" Nina concluded, "They are dead. Three fingers and one leg."
The laundry was in silence.
Compared with catching the murderer, they hoped more to protect the citizens and then bring the murderer to justice.
But it was too late.
Noah often encountered such things, but he still clenched his fingers and said, "Tom, follow the line that three people make money at the same time. Black, go to search the places where the corpses may be hidden. I and Nina go to the other two victims' houses."
"Yes, sir." Tom turned around and said, "Let's go."
Before leaving, Nina looked back at Beth, who was trembling in the light.
Beth was very afraid of troubles. Now Beth was like a frightened bird, she almost was scared to kneel down again. Beth said in a trembling voice, "Please, let go of our family. Our family is very miserable now. I don't want the one million. I will give it to you. Please don't let Miss Vivian know that I have said everything. Otherwise, she will really kill our family.
"If she dares to hurt her own brother, we poor people will be more miserable. Please, I am begging you." Beth put her hands together and kept begging Nina.
Nina looked at Beth's hands which were getting rough and Beth's turbid eyes were still full of conscience. Thinking of such a slightly shabby laundry shop, Nina couldn't be ruthless.
Nina said nothing and turned around to go out.
Because of the rain, it got dark early. The lights on the roadside had given off a pale yellow warm light, illuminating the rain streaks floating in the air.
The group of people on the mission wore umbrellas and walked through the narrow alleys, just like the Night Walker guarding the city.
The leader of the group held a black umbrella and walked in the rain with his long legs. When he stepped on the puddles, mud and water would splash.
Noah's face was heavy because of the dismemberment, and his mood was complicated because of his family affairs. The two of them intertwined in his mind, and his whole figure was hidden in the night. The black umbrella covered his face, looking extremely depressed.
Feeling this pressure, Nina stopped.
"Mrs. Nina?" Amy also stopped and looked in the direction which Nina looked at.
It seemed that she had seen... Lonely.
Since Kristina left, Nina rarely saw Noah smile. He was always alone in the world, walking between justice and darkness, without anyone's company. He was alone.
Nina knew how terrible loneliness was. It would devour people's happiness and peace inadvertently.
But she was much luckier than Noah.
Nina's parents were alive, and her brother loved her very much. Now she had John with her, and there was Michelle nagging in her ears. If she had nothing else to do, she could make fun of James.
As for Noah, except for business, he would go to "Accident" to see Evelyn occasionally.
Nina's heart ached.
It shouldn't be like this. Noah shouldn't be like this... He shouldn't be on his own.
'He has no family, and I'm still here with him.
I'm his family.'
Nina suddenly rushed out of the rain and ran towards Noah's umbrella. The rain fell on her body, but she didn't feel cold at all.
She used to be cold.
Later, Mimi and John made Nina feel warm. Now, Nina hoped that she could share some of her warmth with Noah.
'Noah is my half-brother, isn't he?'
