"Pour some saline water on his wounds." Ethan's eyes flared up with rage and hatred.
With eyes wide open, Tyler stared at the man standing in the darkness. All he could see was the man's tall silhouette. Despite the fact that Ethan rarely spoke, Tyler was intimidated by him. "I've already told you everything. Please let me go! Please..." Before Tyler could even finish his sentence, a bowl of saline water was poured over his wounds, causing him to scream in agony.
After screaming at the top of his lungs for a long time, he could hardly breathe. "I've told you everything I know! I won't do it again, I promise. Please! Please, let me go!"
Ethan didn't believe a word that came out of Tyler's mouth. The way he stared at the latter was truly frightening.
'Human traffickers, the casino, and a mysterious acquaintance... It's all too much of a ' coincidence'. It might seem as simple as Tyler just intended to abduct Janet and sell her off to pay for his gambling debts. But there's definitely more to the story.'
Ethan walked out of the room with a recorder pen in hand and said, "Take 'good care' of him, but I want him alive."
Having said that, he went back to the room next to the interrogation room, pressed the recorder pen's play button, and carefully analyzed Tyler's confession.
"There's an acquaintance I knew, someone from my village and I met him in Blakewood a while ago. He told me that my mom had been supporting a girl named Janet Lind. She works at a big company, and they say she hooked up with the Larson Group's CEO. So, I figured I'd come here and ask her for money and mooch off her. Later on, I met two human traffickers at a tavern and decided to join hands with them to abduct Janet."
In the recording, Tyler sounded fired up. He kept on repeating the same sentences, and he didn't seem to be lying.
