A Mysterious Man

Chapter 148: Let’s See What’s Wrong

Someone defends Soren

“What nonsense are you talking about? You have no right to poke into their business.”

“Madam, do you want me to talk about you and old Mr. White? You should respect yourself at such an

old age.”

The woman shuts up, so it becomes quiet.

Seeing that no one dares to say anything, Kevin does not want to linger. He holds Sunny’s hand and

swaggers out of the police station. No one has the nerve to stop him. Kevin says something to Mr.

Levine before he leaves.

“Mr. Levine, the people involved in this case are all here, so it’s not difficult to solve it. You guys should

take a look at the victim’s phone, and you’ll know.”

After getting into the car, Sunny leans against Kevin, while Kevin’s men leave sensibly.

“I am lucky to have you here today. Otherwise, it would have been much worse.”

Kevin smiles and rubs Sunny’s head, but he still doesn’t touch the wound.

“What, aren’t you mad at me anymore?”

Hearing that, Sunny snorts softly.

“If something like this happens again, I will ignore you for a week!”

“Okay, it won’t. Be good.”

As he speaks, he strokes her head again.

Sunny looks up at the sky not far away, saying, “Did this girl really die for nothing? She is so young.

What a pity!”

Kevin indifferently glances at the sky and answers, “If someone can be remembered after he dies, it will

be worth it.”

Sunny senses that he is implying something, and asks, “What, are you afraid that I will forget you?”

“Are you looking forward to your husband’s death?”

“Nonsense. Don’t talk like that. Kevin, let’s help the police. Although I have proved my innocence, I still

hope to find the real murderer for the girl.”

Kevin tilts his head and says, “The hospital bores you?”

Sunny hits him on the arm. “That’s not it! I really hope that the murderer can be caught as soon as

possible. This murderer is not only brutal, but scheming. He clearly planned this. Otherwise, why would

he knock me unconscious?”

Hearing that, Kevin looks serious. “According to what you said, it’s really possible....”

“Then I’ll give Mr. Levine a call and say that we will fully support his work.”

Sunny falls on the back seat. “Good.”

“Then do we need to go to that small park now?” Kevin asks.

Sunny sits up and says, “Let’s go take a look again. I doubt there is something more.”

Hearing that, Kevin doesn’t feel like giving her that surprise now.

“Let’s go.”

But just as they are about to set off, a voice comes from behind, “Wait. Don’t leave yet!”

Sunny looks out of the window from the back row, only to discover that it is the victim’s mother.

“Kevin, please stop the car.”

Although Kevin feels that it might be risky to do that, he can’t argue with Sunny and does what she

said, rolling down the window.

“Hello, what can I do for you?”

The victim’s mother looks dignified. Although she ran over, she still maintains a decent demeanor.

“I have something to ask you. You said you were just there waiting for someone. It was this man,

right?”

Sunny looks up at the person outside the window and says, “Yes. He’s my husband.”

Sunny pauses for a moment before continuing, “Your daughter and I have never met. I have no reason

to harm her. Don’t you think?”

The woman chokes and says, looking even sadder, “Then who do you think it is? My daughter is so

kind and wouldn’t harm a fly. Who would want to murder her?”

Seeing her cry like this, Sunny feels uncomfortable, too. “How about this? We want to go to the scene

to take a look. If we have any clues, we will contact the police immediately. Do you think this is okay?”

The victim’s mother hesitates and does not say anything, glancing back and forth between Kevin and

Sunny.

“This is my phone number. Please take it. Call me if you need anything. I am here for you and I am

innocent. I didn’t kill your daughter.”

The woman hesitantly takes the piece of paper with Sunny’s phone number, and sniffs, saying, “You’re

really....”

She can’t find the word.

“Take care of yourself. I’m leaving.”

After Lily bids farewell to the victim’s mother, Kevin drives her back to the small park.

The moment Sunny gets off the car, she goes straight to the place where she was knocked

unconscious in the woods.

However, that place has been isolated by the police, so Sunny can only watch from the side.

“Kevin, I don’t have any experience in solving cases. What do you think? Is there anything unusual?”

Kevin circles around the perimeter and doesn’t find anything useful, but he sees an inconspicuous red

line.

“It’s possible that this isn’t the place where the murder happened. There are traces of corpses being

dragged.”

Kevin stands in one spot and searches for other red marks.

Hearing that, Sunny walks over and begins searching, too.

“Kevin, are you talking about this?” She points at a pool of dried blood that is almost the same color as

the ground.

“The police actually didn’t notice this?”

Sunny feels it somewhat unbelievable.

“Look at how far we are from the perimeter. The police won’t come this far to look for clues.”

“Then is this useful?”

Kevin bends down and looks at the evidence on the ground. “It’s hard to say. We can give it a try. But

there’s no guarantee that it belongs to the victim.”

Sunny nods. “Understood. Anyway, let’s try our best.”

On the other side, a crazy conversation is going on.

“You told me to kill that girl and set Sunny up, but it’s useless! It’s over. The police are definitely going

to find out about me. What do you think I should do?”

Just as he finishes speaking, he gets kicked.

“Coward,” says a woman full of contempt.

“If you’re so afraid of dying, you should turn yourself in now. Why are you wasting my time here? It is

just killing a person. What are you afraid of?”

“It was not you who pulled the trigger!” The man has fire in his eyes. How could he believe this

woman’s nonsense? He thought that he was in for a treat, but it turns out....

However, the man suddenly understands something terrifying. “No, it is you who did it. You chose the

location and the victim. I was just a tool. You did this....”

However, before he can finish, he hears a bang and finds that he can no longer utter a sound.

He looks down at the wound on his chest. Blood gushes out of his heart.

“You ... are so cruel....”

Then he realizes that he will never be able to speak again, and falls to the ground with his eyes open.

“Men!”

The woman wipes the muzzle of the gun that is still emitting smoke, and smiles contemptuously.

“Someone, clean it up.”

Sunny suddenly feels a chill as she wanders around the woods. “Kevin, is somebody watching us?”

Kevin walks over from another direction. After hearing that, he looks around and says, “I don’t think so. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Don’t be so paranoid.”

Sunny nods. “Then I’ll follow you.”

They roam in the woods for a long time, but find nothing. Kevin yawns and says, “It’s getting late. Let’s

go back first, shall we?”

Kevin asks that tentatively. To tell the truth, he is afraid that Sunny would not leave.

Fortunately, she is also a mother now. Knowing that her daughter is still waiting for her in kindergarten,

she says, “Alright, let’s go.”

Then she looks around again. Nothing turns up, so she leaves.

Sitting in the car, Sunny recalls what happened at that time. “Do you think someone is watching us, or

am I simply a scapegoat?”

Kevin turns the car around and says, “It is hard to say. It should be casual. We don’t have that many

enemies.”

Sunny thinks so, too. If her speculation is true, she should be dead already.

“Enough for today. It’s so complicated. My brain is not big enough.”

“Let’s think about what to eat for dinner. That’s what matters. Originally....” Kevin stops halfway through,

remembering that it is supposed to be a surprise.

Sunny looks at Kevin in confusion. “Do you have something to say to me?”

Kevin is so frightened that his hands almost slip. He calms down before saying, “What are you talking

about? I don’t understand.”

Sunny curls her lips and says, “Judging from what you said on the phone, I think you are hiding

something.”

Kevin coughs and says, “Actually, there is one thing. Are you sure you want to hear it now?”

Sunny says, “Yes. What does it matter?”

Kevin is afraid she won’t be able to control herself.

“It’s in the back of the car, in that bag. Go and see for yourself.”

Kevin points at the back and says, “The white one.”

Sunny grabs the bag and takes a look inside. There are just some documents.

“Is this some kind of joke?”
