Steven was lost in thought as he whispered to himself.
The timing was not right.
“Did Michael intentionally trick him out?” Michael’s calction disrupted the murderer’s n,
causing it to go awry at the wrong time.
Steven shook his head. “Michael… is stupid.”
Steven believed that Michael was incapable of doing that.
I disagreed. “Michael is not stupid. When attending sses with Yasmin, he was the top student in
his grade.”
He was a finance industry genius and a rising star in the business world. He led the Ford Group to
great sess after taking over the Ford family.
I was just analyzing it objectively. I didn’t mean to praise Michael, but he did have his good points.
Steven puffed up his cheeks and snorted. “Stupid.”
To someone as brilliant as him, Michael seemed stupid.
Out of 10,000 participants from around the world, only one person won the worldwide knowledge

exceptional individuals among the crowd. Everyone was a genius.
Sighing, I held Steven’s hand. “Anyway, if one murderer is caught, the others will also be caught.”
Steven had been lost in his thoughts, and I couldn’t shake the bad feeling that had settled in. It was
clear
that they had caught the murderer. However, I still felt conflicted. It seemed too easy.
Michael was skilled, but could he truly outsmart a killer?
Simon was arrested. The police called Ewan for questioning because he had contacted and funded
Simon. However, Ewan’s response was wless, and the murderer did not make any false
usations. As a result, he was promptly released but had to remain avable at all times.
“Michael’s condition is not good.” Zion waited outside the emergency room, feeling concerned.
“He imed that he wanted to make amends, which was why he couldn’t notify the police. That’s

absurd.
“Stephanie is already dead. What’s the point of his atonement? He said he was sorry to
Stephanie. Even if he knew something would happen to him, he still made a deal with Yasmin to
lure out the murderer.” Zion’s voice was scratchy, and heined while waiting.
Yasmin didn’t want to go, but Michael forced her, saying she owed Stephanie. The police
thought this was
foolish behavior. Luckily, they caught the murderer, but the cost was too high.
“Simon admitted that hemanded the killing and correctly mentioned the timing, but… he
simply declines to disclose the other two aplices.” Zion nced at me and then shifted his
gaze to Steven.
1 was aware that he had suspicions about Steven.
“Based on the surveince footage, no one is as tall as Steve. People can hide their height, but
they can’t
fake being short,” I defended Steven without thinking.
Steven was standing behind me, his eyes always on me. He murmured for a moment, then
suddenly looked up at Zion. “He wouldn’t let you catch him so easily. It’s wrong. The timing is
wrong.”
Zion furrowed his brows, still perplexed by Steven’s words.
Steven kept repeating that it was wrong.
“He was wearing a wig. His head and body were severely burned, leaving him with no hair. He
suffered severe burns that endangered his internal organs. He didn’t have much time left. His lungs
were already
struggling to function properly.
“He said he just wanted revenge on the person who set fire to the orphanage, so he nned
everything.”
Simon had severe burns, resulting in no hair or fingerprints. Without any other traces, he only left
footprints when going in and out. Due to severe burns, he had been suffering from excruciating pain
for several years.
The hospital permitted him to acquire narcotic painkillers, which exined his possession of the
medication.
The police also traced the medicines back to him. The timing of this discovery was just too
coincidental.
“He still refuses to reveal his aplices,” Phil told Zion, shaking his head.
Meanwhile, the policewoman received a call. “Officer Landon, Simon said he can name his
aplices, but there are conditions. He wants to meet you!”
Zion stood up and nced at me. “I’ll go back first.”
Steven suddenly grabbed Zion. “Wrong… It’s wrong.”
