Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1824

After hanging up, Susan stared blankly at the computer screen in front of her.

Ian showed up a while later.

“You're here, Ian.” Susan jumped to her feet and pointed at the footage. “Take a look at this. I've confirmed that something really was off about the way Zaylynn had her nails done. The woman who did her nails just ran away.”

Ian sat down while rubbing his temples.

In fact, he had gotten a few people to look into this matter. After the errand runners had arrived at the university, they spotted two of Zaylynn's female friends—one of whom was Felicia—carrying the two buckets into campus.

After the girls passed a narrow path surrounded by trees, the errand runners then discovered some traces of phosphate on one of the tree branches.

In other words, this was a planned murder.

“Let's wait for the cops here,” said Ian after watching the footage. “They'll definitely find out what else could be behind this. They're professionals.”

He spoke coldly and relentlessly.

Susan didn't oppose after finding out the truth, and so the two remained inside the nail salon, waiting for the police to arrive.

As anticipated, a team of police dressed in full uniform showed up ten minutes later.

The captain made his way over to Susan and Ian right after spotting them.

“Good day. I'm Captain of the Crime Investigation Unit. Were you the ones who found a lead?”

“Yes, officer.”

Susan stood up and related her experience here while referring to the surveillance footage.

The captain immediately began a search.

“And this is?”

“This is my nephew, Officer. He-”

“There's a narrow path with locust trees on both sides on the way to the female dorms on campus, officer,” Ian suddenly chimed in. “If you take a look at the sixth tree on the left, you'll find what you're looking for on one of its branches.”

Susan was completely dumbfounded. The young man had calmly relayed his thoughts instead of looking apprehensive like he usually did when dealing with strangers.

Is... he not afraid anymore?

Of course, the captain knew nothing about Ian's condition, so he gave the latter an approving pat on the shoulder after being provided with such an important lead.

“I'll do that. What's your name?”

“Uh... You should get to searching right away, officer. Don't let anyone ruin your plans.”
