Revenge After Death



"Andy Lincoln?" Zion looked at the photo, surprised. Had Sarah really gotten together with Andy before?

"Do you still have any clues you haven't told the police, Mr. Leigh?" he asked.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Floyd gave it some thought before taking out a stack of letters and some remittance slips from his battered suitcase.

"These are the letters Sarah sent to me back then. She would send me money every month, and she would transfer money once she got a card." He took out the letters wrapped in a plastic bag. It was clear that he had put in effort to keep her belongings.

I reached for the letters and envelopes. They were indeed rather old, with some of the envelopes yellowing. But it wasn't hard to tell from Sarah's letters that she had a close relationship with Floyd.

She likely knew that he was illiterate, so her letters included simple greetings, expressions of longing, and also little drawings depicting her current life. At first, she only drew herself, but another figure appeared over time-Andy.

Sarah mentioned in her letters that she met a good person and decided to spend her life with him. However, the Lincolns had opposed it after knowing of her poor family background.

She seemed to have cried while writing another letter as it was wrinkly. In the letter, she asked: "Is it really important to marry within your social class, Floyd?"

I looked at Steven. "Sarah was just 18 back then, and Andy should be of similar age as well. They were both barely legal, yet they were already considering marriage?"

"People were more conservative back then. They would think of marriage once they got together," Zion explained.

I nodded. It was likely for two young people in their prime to have gotten together intimately, in that sense. Sarah wouldn't have considered marriage so early otherwise.

She probably thought that she already belonged to Andy, so it was only a matter of time before she married him.

"We found our only clue Andy," I whispered.

That meant we'd have to make a trip back to the Lincoln residence. We needed to look through Andy's belongings to see if we could discover anything related to Sarah.

"Do you have any other clues still, Mr. Leigh?" Zion asked again.

Floyd shook his head.

"How did all of you decide to come to Huma together to report on their disappearances all of a sudden?" I looked at him.

That had indeed happened too suddenly.

"Someone sent me a letter a while back." Floyd hurriedly rummaged through his belongings for the letter. "They said that Sarah had been missing for years, and it wasn't because she had gone overseas. They claimed that she went missing in Huma and asked me to come over."

Zion nodded. "Most of the other victims also received letters. Some had received internet calls."

I nodded before turning to him. "I've nothing else to ask for now. Let's head back."

Our next destination would be the Lincoln residence.

Somehow, I felt that things weren't as simple as they seemed. Sarah's disappearance was definitely not an accident.

"Genome Society has long since infiltrated Huma. They first disguised themselves as a charitable medical institution within the country and gradually started to conduct shady experiments. The Lincolns were indeed the main contributor to Genome Society under Andy's management in the early years."

Back then, Genome Society highly valued Andy because he invested a significant sum of money. Their growth was largely due to his support.

However, Andy discovered the truth behind Genome Society later on. He then started resisting them. "Andy is the key to solving Sarah's disappearance." Zion nodded.

"But he might not have left behind any valuable information, seeing that he died too early." He sighed.
