Chapter 1291
On a rainy night, Wayne took off from Moonlit Lake, citing some business he had to attend to back at the company.
Two hours later, he arrived at a small town in M City, standing outside a morgue.
Sean had arrived earlier. Seeing Wayne, he quickly strode over.
Wayne could smell the stench of death through the walls and doors.
Sean said, “President Silverman, I just went in. There are 8 members of the Atticus family… Despite some decomposition, they’re still identifiable.”
Sean and Atticus were old schoolmates. It was Sean who introduced Atticus to Wayne, which led Atticus to work for Wayne.
However, due to the nature of the job, once Atticus started working for Wayne, he didn’t interact privately with Sean anymore.
The Atticus family had 8 people in total.
Besides Atticus, his wife, and their kids, Atticus’s parents and his wife’s parents were also killed.
Wayne asked, “Did you find out who did it?”
Sean didn’t answer. Wayne stared at him, “Do I need to ask twice?”
Sean was silent for a moment, then pulled out his phone and showed Wayne a photo.
In the photo was a wooden board smeared with patchy blood and rotten flesh. However, a sentence written in red was still easily recognizable. It read. “Dedicated to the Wayne couple.”
. Wayne was furious when he saw this.
Sean said, “Orson found a similar message.”
He then flicked to the next photo in his gallery.
This time, the message wasn’t written on a wooden board but on the back of Orson’s newlywed wife.
Orson’s family had it worse.
They lived in a coastal city and were originally a big family of 27, including his brother and sister’s families. But now they were all dead.
The autopsy showed that Orson’s family died a few days earlier than Atticus’s family, by about four or five days.
The Atticus family was hacked to death, while the Orson family, according to the autopsy results, was frozen to death.
Their bodies were found in their own seafood freezer. All 27 of them, young and old, were frozen into ice sculptures.
When they opened the door, the first thing they saw was the bloody message on the back of Orson’s newlywed wife.
Sean roughly filled Wayne in on the situation at Orson’s.
“So far, there are no useful clues at either location. We have no idea who did this. I initially thought it might have been the R Country royalty, but Orson’s time of death ruled that out. Simon hadn’t even died yet.”
Not only was Simon still alive, but Olivia Whaley had just recently passed away as well.
Felix hadn’t even arrived in H Country yet.
Wayne asked, “Are there any other insiders missing?”
Sean shook his head, “As soon as we confirmed these two were dead, I contacted all our insiders. No one’s missing.”
“Why they…”
It was clear that the killer was targeting Wayne.
But out of all the insiders, why Orson and Atticus?
Since three years ago, these two have barely done anything for Wayne.
If the killer was trying to provoke Wayne, choosing someone who’d worked for him recently would have been more effective. And Orson and Atticus weren’t exactly easy targets.
“Did they jointly investigate anything?” Wayne asked quietly.
As Wayne’s longtime right–hand man, Sean could anticipate Wayne’s thoughts.
He quickly handed Wayne the information he’d found, “Orson and Atticus were in different regions, so there weren’t many cases they could work on together. I’ve found these six cases.”
Wayne quickly scanned through them.
Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
