I was sitting at a corner of the coffee shop at the street corner. I had my cap on and was waiting for


    Rachel to arrive.


    For now, Rachel was the only one I could trust.


    Apart from her, I would not trust anyonepletely.


    “You were looking for me?” Rachel sat down irritably in front of me.


    It was obvious that she wasn’t in a good mood.

    “I’ve read the news online. They say murderers won’t stop killing. That means there must be a next


    target.” I looked around anxiously before continuing, “I know who the murderer is, but I have no


    proof…”


    Rachel looked at me suspiciously. “You know who the murderer is?”


    “He’s currently living in Stephanie’s home…” I was afraid that Rachel might not believe me.


    Rachel looked at me in disbelief. “Are you crazy?”


    I covered my face and took a deep breath. “Just believe me this once. I’m serious. Just ask Zion to


    keep an eye on whoever’s living in the house… He’ll definitely kill again.”


    Rachel looked at me skeptically. “I just went to Stephanie’s house yesterday. Why didn’t I see


    him?”


    “You shouldn’t visit anymore. The murderer is hiding inside. You were just unaware.” I looked at


    Rachel nervously. I was worried for her safety.


    Rachel was still wary of me. She didn’t trust mepletely. “How would you know that? Who


    exactly are you?”


    “You won’t believe me even if I tell you. I’ve told you that I’m Stephanie… but you refused to believe


    me.” I sighed. “Anyway, I have no other motive than to find out the truth and bring the murderer to


    justice.”


    I wanted to protect Rachel from any harm.


    Rachel looked at me like I was crazy. After a long pause, she asked, “Are you sure you’re mentally


    well?”


    I was slightly angry, but I could understand where Rachel wasing from.


    It would sound strange and terrifying if a stranger told you she was your deceased best friend.


    “I don’t care whether you believe it or not. Just ask Zion to keep an eye on Stephanie’s home.


    There’s someone secretly staying there,” I said anxiously.


    “Alright, I get it. I’ll investigate. If you’re fooling around with me, I won’t forgive you.” Rachel finally


    agreed.

    I heaved a sigh of relief. “Okay, I’m counting on you. I really don’t want to see anyone else get


    burt.”


    Rachel slumped on her chair dejectedly. “This murderer is too smart. We haven’t obtained any clues


    so far. There’s almost no news from the investigation.”


    I hung my head with disappointment too. “Yeah, this person is scary. He’s killed so many people…”


    Even I, a person who had died once, could not get close to him.


    He left no traces behind.


    Rachel shook her head. “But I don’t believe that there are perfect criminals.”


    I shook my head too. “Me neither.”


    Rachel warned me seriously, “If you’re really trying to help me catch this murderer, I’ll be grateful.


    But if you have other motives, I’lle for you.”


    “Anyway, don’t tell anyone what I just told you. You can share this with Zion, but not anyone else in


    the police force. It’s best if we kept this to just a few people. We can’t wake the sleeping wolf.” I was


    worried that the murderer might catch on to us.


    Rachel nodded.


    Relieved, I nced at the time.


    Steven had been locking himself up in his room these days, I wasn’t sure what he was up to. But


    now I was sure he was somehow rted to the murderer. He was unwilling to give the murderer


    after all.


    up,


    The Lincoln Group was in the eye of the storm now. With Martin and his son managing the


    company, it would be difficult for me to get a foot in.


    The Larsons managed to get Ann into the Lincoln Group. If it were up to me, I wouldn’t have been


    able to find her a way in or find someone to implicate her. I couldn’t even speak to anyone important


    at the


    Troubles were really brewing internally and externally now.
