Zion stared at the rope, sweat already beading on his forehead from anxiety.
“The murderer is way too smart… If the candle is moved out of position or extinguished, the direction of the breeze nearby will change and make the iron beads fall like dominoes. The blade positioned above will fall and cut the rope and Yasmin will die.”
