Although she knew that the murderer could not be a child, Clarice still had doubts about Herbert. She suddenly asked a bodyguard behind her, “Kevin, do you think there’s a possibility of a neurologist acting up?”

Her son was still young and could not be the murderer, but the child’s father was suspicious.

Kevin, who was called, was stunned.

She thought of something and felt inexplicably flustered.

There were two reasons why he was flustered. Firstly, there might be a perverted killer living next door to their house. Secondly, their Miss’s IQ was simply against humanity. He replied thoughtfully, “Anyone can be a criminal.”

Clarice smiled coldly. “Yes,” she said. “Even demons wear human skin.”

Kevin did not reply.

However, she thought that since Miss was so smart, it seemed like the next head of the Clarice family was definitely her.

When they got home, Clarice instructed Kevin and the rest to take turns monitoring the movements in the house next door. For a few days, Kevin did not notice anything unusual.

When Clarice asked, Kevin answered truthfully. He said, “The Fellows seemed normal. Every day, Herbert would get up on time to go to school. He and his father would go out at the same time. Usually, Herbert would come home from school around four in the afternoon. Robert sometimes got off on time, and sometimes he would be a little late. When he got off work, Robert didn’t bring anyone suspicious.”

When Clarice heard this, not only was she not relieved, she felt even more strange.

“Where’s Herbert’s mother?”

She remembered that there was a mistress at Herbert’s house.

Upon hearing this, Kevin said, “Apparently, Mrs. Felloyd has gone back to her parents’ house. She’s been back for a while.”

“I see…”

Everything sounded normal. There was nothing suspicious.

However, Clarice still felt puzzled when she thought of Herbert’s change in expression that day.

If he was not the murderer, and his father was not the murderer, then did he know the murderer? Clarice decided to observe Herbert carefully. She had a feeling that this friend was extraordinary.

…

It had been more than ten days since a missing person case happened in this city and its surroundings. Just as everyone heaved a sigh of relief and thought that the murderer was about to stop, another man disappeared…

This time, the person who disappeared was a middle-aged man with an abnormal spirit. It was said that the last place he was seen was a mental hospital.

The last doctor he saw was Robert. The police went to see Robert and asked him some questions.

As the last person to contact the missing person, Robert was naturally listed as a suspect.

In the face of the police’s questioning, Robert acted very naturally. When he should be worried and shocked, he would never gloat. When he should prove his innocence, he would never deliberately mystify things. His cooperative attitude made the police doubt him.

Within two days, someone found a bag and one of the missing person’s shoes by a cliff. The shoe was hanging from a tree on the cliff. After the police salvaged the item and confirmed that the shoe was the missing person’s size, they speculated that the missing mental patient had probably jumped into the sea and committed suicide in a delirious state.

The police did not find his body, but this was not surprising. There was everything in the sea. Fish that could swallow a corpse were everywhere.

However, in the investigation team responsible for following this missing person case, there was a young police officer called Jimmy who was suspicious. He asked his superior, “Why didn’t we find any clues after the previous missing person disappeared? This time, after this person disappeared, he left clues by the cliff? Could it be that this is a deliberate illusion created by the enemy hiding in the dark to attract our attention? Perhaps this missing gentleman didn’t jump into the sea to commit suicide at all?”

The young policeman’s eyes were filled with righteousness, eager to find out the truth.

Without waiting for his superior to answer, he said, “Perhaps the victim is still hidden somewhere by that killer and is being cruelly tortured. As police officers, isn’t it too inappropriate for us to judge that this missing case will be a natural suicide?”

Upon hearing this, his superior replied coldly, “Since you’re so certain and reasonable, why don’t you find the murderer for us? Jimmy, you’re still too young and don’t know what you’re talking about. This case is an ordinary suicide case.”

“How could you do this, Sir! We’re police officers. The reason for our existence is to find out the truth and return innocence to the world! You’re doing nothing in your position!”

When Jimmy entered the workplace, he realized that this profession was not as noble as he had imagined.

In order to find the truth, there were indeed police officers who stayed up late for a few days and were even killed by the murderer. However, there were more people like his superior who only cared about enjoying life and were careless. They knew that there was definitely something fishy behind this matter, but they pretended to be stunned.

Jimmy was disappointed.

His superior blushed at Jimmy’s scolding.

He suddenly stood up, pointed his finger, and scolded Jimmy, “Do you think I don’t want to catch the murderer! But the murderer is too cunning. Too many people have gone missing recently. Everyone in our city is in a panic, and everyone is in danger! Everyone is discussing and saying that we’re useless! At this time, another person has gone missing, and they’re even more terrified and uneasy!”

“We’ve determined this case to be a suicide case to appease people!”

Upon hearing this, Jimmy sneered and said, “Then we just let the real culprit get away scot-free?”

“In order to appease people, we have to let a pitiful person die unjustly? After death, we have to bear the infamy of a cowardly suicide?”

“Then what do you want!”

His superior threw a thick stack of documents at Jimmy.

The document hit Jimmy in the face. It fell to the ground. Jimmy’s forehead turned red.

Jimmy clenched his fists. He said, “If you guys don’t do anything, fine! I’ll investigate! I can’t do it. The murderer is also human. No matter how smart and cunning he is, it’s impossible for him not to leave any clues! I’ll definitely find the murderer!”

“Alright! Go. If you can catch the real culprit, I’ll give you this position!”

“Who cares!”

The tall and young righteous police officer kicked the door of his superior’s company, making it clang.

All the colleagues on the police station floor looked at this young man with admiration and pity.

Thinking back, when they were young, they had also been so brave and fearless.

But after that…
