The unexpected sight drew a sharp gasp from her lips.


    This is not something she had expected to find.


    The mask, identical to the one she had seen on the surveince footage earlier that day nowy at her feet.


    Following Hannah’s gaze, Bryson saw the strange mask and asked in confusion, “What’s with this mask?”


    “Do you recall me mentioning that Bagot had been injured by a person wearing a mask?”


    Bryson’s gaze lingered on the mask, realization dawning.


    “So, it’s the same one?”


    “Yes.


    ” Hannah crouched on the other side of the body and retrieved the mask, which was still stained with dried blood from the floor.? N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    After scrutinizing it closely, she met Bryson’s gaze and said, “There is no doubt about it.


    It’s the exact same mask.


    ”


    Before Bryson could say anything, Remington’s voice broke the silence from behind them.


    “We found the surveince footage, but it’s useless.


    ”


    Standing upright, Hannah held up the mask in her hand, her gaze shifting past Bryson to address the gathering outside.


    “The surveince camera didn’t capture his face, did it?”


    “No.


    ”


    Remington shook his head as he stepped into the room, eyeing Bryson.


    “That guy knows about the room’s camera.


    He removed it as soon as he came in.


    ”


    Spotting the mask in Hannah’s hand, a memory clicked for Remington.


    “That’s the mask we spotted on the surveince,” he recalled.


    Hannah asked him, “When will the police arrive?”


    Remington checked his watch.


    “They’re on the road probably an hour out.


    ”


    ncing at the body on the floor, Remington noticed a dagger in Rhett’s chest.


    There were no other injuries.


    It seemed he was killed with a single stab, the fatal wound being this one to the chest.


    The angle of the knife was downward, indicating that the murderer had been probably taller than Rhett.


    Seeing Hannah’s silent contemtion of the corpse, Remington suggested, “Since there will be quite some time before the cops arrive, how about you and Mr.


    Mitchell make a break for it? Leave this mess to them.


    ”


    The situation was already a mess and Hannah wasn’t eager to dive deeper.


    “Sounds good, I’ll bail,” she agreed.


    With the mask in hand, Hannah subtly motioned to Bryson with her eyes, out of Remington’s view.


    Exiting with the mask, she passed it to Remington, saying, “Here’s the evidence.


    Take care of it, Mr.


    Lyons.
