"Have you found out the woman's identity? " Julien asked with a grim face. That was the most crucial question at the moment.
Finn pushed up his glasses and answered," Not at the moment. I took the woman's fingerprints and matched them with those in the database, but none of them matched, so you need to find out the woman's identity yourselves."
"It's going to be difficult." Sydney bit her lower lip.
Sydney only caught a glimpse of the woman's face. The woman's face had been completely smashed. Finn couldn't identify her based on her fingerprints. It was hard to find out the identity of the woman.
Just then, a police officer hurried in with some papers in his hand. "Sir, this is Lyra's visitation record."
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the papers in the officer's hand.
"Give it to me." Julien stepped forward and took the papers.
Sydney walked over and stood beside Julien. She tilted her head to read the record together with him.
There were only two pages.
On the first page, most were Mrs. Madden's visitation records, with occasional Brandon's, nothing special.
Julien then turned to the second page.
On the second page, it was also mostly Mrs. Madden and occasionally Brandon.
But when they saw the last few records, Julien and Sydney both frowned.
"Macy Graham and Kate Morgan?" Sydney said, surprised, "Why did they visit Lyra?"
And it happened to be the last two days.
Julien's eyes narrowed, "Mr. Joyce, there’s definitely something wrong with these two women. It's very likely that they helped Lyra to get out."
"Mr. Flint, I understand what you mean. I'll have them brought to the police station later." Jase said as he took the papers
Julien handed to him.
Julien nodded his head. Then he turned to the officer who had just brought in the papers, "Do you have the footage of Macy
Graham and Kate Morgan visiting Lyra?" "Yes." The officer nods.
Finn suggested, "Let's go to my office! There's a computer and a projector."
The others agreed.
When they got into Finn's office, the officer turned on the computer and projected the footage onto the big screen.
Julien sat down on the couch, patted the spot next to him, and said to Sydney," Come! Sit here! You can watch clearly from here!"
The corners of Sydney's mouth twitched.' It's not a movie! Does the position matter?'
Nevertheless, she walked up to him and sat down next to him.
Seeing Sydney acting so obediently, Julien curled the corners of his mouth.
Everyone could feel Julien was in a good mood.
The footage started to play. The first clip they watched was when Macy Graham and Kate first came to visit Lyra.
Macy and Kate went into Lyra’s hospital room and stayed there for half an hour. Then they came out and left straight away.
Nothing happened during that time.
Julien frowned, "How come there's only surveillance in the doorway? Do you have surveillance inside the room?"
Jase explained with a sigh, "Here's the thing: Lyra is a criminal, but she's not deprived of her privacy. We can only have surveillance in the doorway. We can't put surveillance in her room. So we don't know what's going on in the room."
Julien compressed his thin lips and didn't say anything.
Soon, the second clip began to play.
It was Macy and Kate's last visit to Lyra.
In this footage, Sydney noticed that something was wrong.
Julien stood up and extended his hand towards Sydney, "Let's go home."
Sydney glanced at Julien's hand, but she didn't give him her hand. She stood up by herself and said, "No, it’s not we're going home, but you're taking me back to my home!"
'Going home' sounded misleading.
Others would think they were going back together.
As Sydney didn't give him her hand, Julien had a wry smile and drew his hand back.
The three said goodbye to Finn and then walked out of his office. They headed for the elevator together.
Soon, the elevator arrived on the ground floor, and the three walked to the hospital lobby.
Brandon, his wife, and Clarice were there.
Brandon was sitting on a bench, hanging his head down. He looked very sad.
His wife was sitting next to him, her hands covering her face, sobbing.
Even Clarice's eyes were reddened, her phone clutched in her hand. She looked depressed.
Sydney raised her eyebrows, "Is Brandon’s situation getting worse?" "Why do you think so? Aren't they grieving for Lyra?" Julien looked at Sydney.
Sydney pouted her lips at Clarice. "Clarice definitely wouldn’t be grieving for Lyra.
"You have a point." Julien nodded.
The family heard footsteps and they all looked up. When they saw Julien and Sydney, they all showed a surprised look.
They thought only Sydney would come to the hospital.
They were surprised to see Julien as well.
Well, now Julien was crazy about Sydney. Wherever Sydney was, Julien would follow her around.
