Chapter 1193 Clues
Jewel pouted, but Alex had a point, so she said, “Be careful.”
“I know. Don’t worry.” Alex got himself a car and drove to the place he tailed those men the night before, but before he could get close, he saw a few police cars surrounding the area. Curious about what had happened, he got out of the car and asked around. “What happened?”
“Someone died, I think,” said a man.
Shocked, Alex asked, “Who? A man or a woman?”
“A woman,” the man said.
Alex felt a lot relieved hearing that. As long as it’s not Damian. If he’s dead, a lot of leads are going to go cold.
The cops led two men and a woman out eventually, but their heads were covered in black cloth. Alex wasn’t sure if Damian was inside. It’d been years since he saw him, so Damian might have changed. And then a corpse was taken out. A white cloth covered it, keeping the victim’s face from being seen.
The group of people were taken to the cars, and the cops left. But… Even including the corpse, there were only four of them, not five. Is Damian not here?
Once the cops were gone, the crowd made some small talk and left. Alex stopped the guy who talked to him earlier and handed a cigarette over. “Are you a local, cowboy?”
“Yes.” The man pointed at a nearby house. “That’s my home over there.”
Hmm, not far from where the corpse was found. “You must know this family well, then.”
The man leaned over and lit up his cigarette with Alex’s lighter. “Not really. Barely seen them at all. But they’ve been here for a long time, so I found some patterns. They usually leave home in the afternoon, and sometimes they’d stay out for a few days. Nocturnal creatures if you ask me.”
