Chapter 290
I was at a loss. I didn’t understand how it happened either. “Perhaps I don’t have much strength, so that’s the deepest I could stab him?”
The female officer looked suspiciously at me. After all, I didn’t look like I didn’t have much strength while I took the knife over from that man. For me to be able to take a knife over from a grown man-
I didn’t say anything else. I was relieved to hear that the man’s injuries weren’t fatal, I never did want to kill
him after all.
“How are things going with Steven?” I asked impatiently as soon as I got into the car.
Ewan nodded and replied, “Everything’s fine. We have people in the asylum and we’ve told them to notify
us immediately if something happens.”
I nodded and said distractedly. “Let’s head in the direction of Sunset Alley. I heard that there was another
murder case there.”
My palms began to sweat involuntarily at the thought of that serial murder case. I was one of the victims
after all.
Who was the person with the red birthmark on the inner side of their arm? I was sure that I had vaguely
seen it before I had died. There was no mistake that it was a birthmark.
From what I remember, he had fair and thin arms–he was definitely not Steven, Although Simon was
equally thin, there was no birthmark on the inner side of his arms.
I massaged my temples. My head was hurting badly now.
“Sunset Alley has been sealed off, Mrs. Lincoln. We can’t get through by car now,” Ewan said as he parked
the car outside the Nocturnal’s entrance.
I got out of the car to have a look. I could see Eason from afar, talking to Keenan.
There were some rubberneckers around the area. They were frightened and ran away after closing in for a
better look. There were even some who were throwing up by the side. The crime scene was evidently
gruesome.
“Did the murderer think that he could destroy all traces of his crime by just applying spices on the corpse, so as to attract the nearby stray dogs to feed on it?” Eason said, chuckling coldly. “Go and investigate why these stray dogs would gather around Sunset Alley, and who had been feeding them.”
Eason shifted his focus on the stray dogs. Since the stray dogs had fed on the evidence, they themselves now became the evidence.
Upon investigating, Phil ran over to Eason and said, “The victim this time isn’t someone from the welfare home. He was from the asylum that had been shut down.
“This man was one of the psychiatrists there back then, but he had left the asylum many years ago. Hel was not involved in Steven’s treatments and does not have any connections with him.”

Eason was sure that there had been a conflict between the victim and Steven, but it turned out that there
was none.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge After Death (Michael and Stephanie)
A very good thriller in the beginning ruined by unnecessary twist and unrealistic plots. Exaggerating the story just for the sake of it. Totally disappointed...
