Luckily, Zion was on the phone, and Rachel thought that what I said wasn’t harsh enough.


    “She doesn’t even deserve to be dumped in a stinking ditch. Her body should be thrown into a


    septic tank,” she spat.


    Rachel’s ferocity managed to cover up my earlier slip of the tongue.


    I watched as the suspicion in Eason’s eyes slowly cleared away.

    Zion hung up the call and looked at Eason. “The case with the mutted corpses has been


    closed.”


    Eason was taken aback by that. “It has?”


    “Well, the superiors called to say that the aid I provided to make the arrest was


    closure of the case with the mutted corpses,


    “They said that they want to award me with a medal of honor at the Traffic Enforcement Unit,” Zion


    said with a small smirk. He thought that they were going to finally reinstate


    him. But the truth was far from it.


    “Is that all?” Eason asked through gritted teeth.


    “Well, they’ve also given me a long vacation. They said to onlye back to work once my arm


    heals,” Zion replied.


    Eason scratched his head. “So, the case is closed just like that? Huh…”


    It was clear that someone from above was pushing for the case’s closure. The serial murder case


    had dragged on for quite a long while without any closure being given, after all.


    The case involved the muttion of corpses, after all. Seeing as the supposed culprit had been


    caught, the case needed to be closed promptly. Otherwise, it would incite widespread.


    panic.


    “You guys should head back first. I’ll check out the situation,” Eason said, then spun on his


    heel to seek the superiors out.


    I looked at Steven. He was still holding onto me and seemed unwilling to let go.


    Michael scoffed and turned to leave.


    “Mr. Ford, you’ve lost…” Steven couldn’t help but remind him mockingly. His tone was


    cautious, as if he was afraid that I’d get angry.


    Michael’s expression darkened with anger as he barked out, “You’re so childish!”


    Steven snorted and tightened his grip on my hand. Then, he scolded Michael loudly enough


    for everyone around us to hear, “You so shameless. She’s my wife, you


    registered our marriage and everything, so we’re protected by thew.”


    know. We’ve


    Michael was enraged to hear that. He wanted to charge forward but was stopped by Yasmin who


    was crying. “Michael, let’s just go…”


    Michael angrily pushed Yasmin away and turned to leave.


    Yasmin nced back at me with a barely perceptible smirk in her eyes.


    It looked like she was nning something. And whatever it was, it seemed as if everything was


    going to her n.


    I scoffed. I was ready to find out what sort of ns she had cooked up.


    “Let go,” I said in a deep voice. I lifted my head to nce at Steven.


    Steven hugged me with an aggrieved look on his face. He wouldn’t let go of my hand.


    “Let go,” I said once more.


    Steven cautiously released his hold on my hand.


    “Rach, I’m going to head back home if there’s nothing else,” I said softly.


    I must have still looked rather pale. I caught a glimpse of my ghostly reflection in the ss: It hadn’t


    been long since the miscarriage, after all. My body couldn’t handle too much stress.


    “You should head home and rest for now. If I get any information rted to the serial murder case,


    I’ll let you know right away,” Rachel said, looking at me with concern in her eyes as she held my


    hand.


    She seemed to have something more to say. But in the end, all she did was choke out the words,


    “You can go now.‘


    My eyes welled up with tears as well. I wondered if she had recognized me.


    I didn’t say anything more and quickly walked away.


    Rachel knew that ever since I was reborn, I had been obsessed with looking for the culprit of the


    serial murder case.


    I was the serial killer’s victim. I had been brutally murdered, so I had the right to seek out


    the truth.


    “That guy confessed. He admitted to intentionally killing a bunch of people. He’s also from the


    demolition area at No. 37 Bridgeway Route. It’s said that he and the one who jumped off the


    building before went bankrupt trying to find their children. A case of human trafficking was even


    brought up.


    “Yeah, the case of the mutted corpses has finally been closed. But now, nasty businesses like


    human trafficking and kidnapping cases areing up again.”


    I had only just left the office area when I heard two police officers discussing the mutted


    corpse case.


    “If you ask me, those two should die. Human traffickers and kidnappers deserve to die.” I stood in


    ce and looked at Zion.
