"There is no way that we are on earth..."
"You think that everything in this world has been explored by humans? Not at all.Because of that, there are still many animals that you have never seen before. " Cleo, who was behind Lucas, told him. "Come back, after breakfast, I will take you back," Cleo said, and walked into the house.
But Lucas couldn't help but be stunned by what he had just seen.
After finishing breakfast, Cleo drove Lucas back to Charles's house. No one even noticed that she had gone out for several hours.
The dining table, which was filled with breakfast food, looked simple in Lucas' eyes. American culture, which is almost the same as Europe in terms of breakfast, is different from Asian culture.
However, it came as no surprise to Lucas, because he had once lived there.
Charles looks at Cleo. The middle-aged man knows about Cleo not being home for several hours and going out with Lucas.
News of the murder that took place last night is now on television. Several assistants commented on the events that took place.
Charles just looked at Cleo while frowning. It was the first time the girl left her trials after a murder; moreover, it was directed at her.
But what's strange about it? After all, in the last few years, every murder case was always blamed on her, even if she didn't do it. So for that, he didn't think anything of it.
"Hmm... is she the killer? What if she isn't? " asked a housekeeper.
Cleo confirmed with a nod. Of course, no one saw her, except for Charles.
"Cleo, there will be a party at the company next week," Charles said, trying to lighten the mood. "I want you to come with me," Charles said again.
Cleo just nodded, her spoon still in her mouth.
"I want Lucas to come too," Charles said.
Cleo did not understand what her adoptive father was thinking. She was usually never allowed to appear in public.
"You don't want to go to the campus?"
"Can I just quit?" Cleo asked Charles.
"Hhhmm... All right, I'll find you a professor to teach you at home. Charles replied.
It is quite a boring conversation to be discussed in the morning.
But Lucas just kept quiet and watched the news broadcast that morning. The events that happened were the same as what Shadow had told him last night.
Lucas suddenly remembered what Shadow had said to him. Don't trust those around you, including Cleo.
Hearing the story about Cleo from Shadow, Lucas still can't believe that the girl he's currently with was a killing machine when she was a kid.
Now and then he would look at Cleo, who was having breakfast. Is she a murderer?But Lucas didn't dare ask; he was afraid to offend those who were there. Especially since he had just gotten to know Cleo and his adoptive father.
A few moments later, several people came to pick up Lucas from one of the housing estates near the mansion where the murder took place. It looks like five of the officers are Edward's subordinates. They must have come to investigate the case that happened last night. About the murder
The courtyard of the mansion was so wide that it seemed like it was a spare house because there weren't many guards guarding the place.
Some reporters want to know what is happening.
Edward, Lucas, and Naura went down directly because they were curious about the corpses and also the tattoos on the five dead women's corpses.
When Edward looks around the mansion first, he can see that there are many strange things there. Especially after seeing that there are some messy spots.
"It seems that an unbalanced fight happened," Edward said while analyzing the crime scene.
"The killer was quite strong," Edward said again, looking around the house.
Edward enters a room and sees a man who has turned pale from lack of blood and has also died from a knife cut in the neck.
"Ask them for the autopsy result," Edward said to Naura.
The room was quite messy, with broken windows, tables out of place, and beer and glasses scattered on the floor. But one side of the room looks neat.
Lucas can't tell them that he already knew about the case that is going on, let alone about the crime scene problem that Shadow mentioned last night.
He died because of a cut on his neck. That is different from Shadow's way of killing; no clothes, not Shadow's way of killing, a messy room where an almost balanced fight might have happened. An uncluttered side of the room, as if it was untouched during their fight. "That's why the person chose to jump from the window instead of going through the door, as if there was someone in this room besides them," Edward said, trying to explain the situation in the room.
Lucas was stunned. What the man said made sense.
