Chapter 58 Trauma
Toni, who seemed to be disapproving of this, began to speak, his voice even rising, as if he were extremely irritated by everything that had happened. Meanwhile, Kay, of course, remained silent, her thoughts constantly rumbling through her mind, which was one of the reasons she was so annoying, even to anyone.
"Hi, Julia. How's it going? Have you found anything that could help you find the culprit in the case involving your husband's parents? The problem you're facing now seems quite interesting, and I'm not forcing you to continue investigating the mafia. It seems Mr. Michelle has truly taken the plunge and investigated the mafia herself."
Hearing this, Julia, who initially seemed fine, was immediately shocked. She had no idea that Mr. Michelle would actually refuse to wait for all the moves she had made so diligently. Had the old man intervened on his own, or was he even so curious and challenged by the existence of the mafia and who the mastermind behind it was? Julia's expression paled, as she was, of course, familiar with Mr. Michelle's performance. He was the head of this special police team for a reason: his sharpness and speed in catching even the most impossible criminals.
"Why did Mr. Michelle have to intervene personally? Was he doing my job? Or did he think I was working so slowly that he had to intervene himself like this? This really offended me, and I didn't know how to deal with Mr. Michelle anymore. While I have every right to be angry that he stole my job, what can I do? He's my partner."
Rebecca shrugged, not understanding. She simply played with her fingers on the table, then looked at her friend, who still looked extremely upset. For some reason, she felt something was quite strange about her friend. Every time she discussed this terrifying mafia, her friend seemed completely uneasy and even anxious. It was as if there was something guarded, as if there was something truly serious that she had to defend.
"Maybe Mr. Michelle doesn't want you to continue this mission because you already have a husband. We were drinking together a while ago, and he always said things like that. It's really pitiful, Julia, having to handle such a horrific case, since she's newly married and has a husband. Of course, her husband hopes she gets pregnant, has children, and can live a normal life like any other married couple. Moreover, he's an ordinary civilian who certainly wouldn't understand the kind of work we do. Even ordinary police officers often have reservations about our lives, let alone elite police officers who are assigned far more horrific assignments and have a much higher death rate than usual."
“He said that? I never thought that old man from Bangka would even have the heart to think about my situation like that. It’s nothing, actually my husband also said that I should resign and stay at home. But somehow I think that working is a dream that I could never imagine. Indeed, maybe initially I came here only because of that damn man, but now I love my job and it’s so complicated and also difficult for me to get out of here. I don’t know, some problems suddenly came to me that made my brain really can’t function very well and I’ve been feeling very confused lately. While I don’t have the chance to go back to find out about the mafia, I’m too focused on the problem of my husband’s parents that I have other thoughts. Strangely, I caught something strange from Mr. Adam and his friends. Maybe there will be a meeting or two so I can emphasize and also reaffirm what that strange thing is so I can tell you. Oh yes, about the identity of the detective who wants to solve the case of my husband’s parents, do you still have it? I want to contact him and talk directly so we can support each other. and also pursue this case. I also won't hesitate to go to the government to ask them to reopen this case because I have enough evidence to do so."
"Are you sure about all that? This isn't just about how things will proceed, it's not just about obstacles, and there might also be some restrictions on this case. For some reason, I can see the government is also involved in this matter, and they suddenly acquired shares in your husband's company, right? I've recorded everything and I've done some analysis, and it's quite strange."
Julia couldn't believe her friend had researched this far. The woman tried to smile and then nodded her head very calmly. If Julia's friend already knew about her husband's company, it was highly likely that her friend might be secretly trying to find out more about her husband. Mr. Alexander, her husband's education, occupation, and everything else he'd done were certainly extraordinary questions for her friend, and from now on, it seemed Julia would have to tell her husband that everything had to be done carefully.
Kay's fists clenched tightly as she heard all this.
It felt utterly unfair, and she was certain that whoever it was must have conspired for a long time to take everything that had already been taken. Cruel, evil, and infuriating. These were unjustifiable facts, and Kay would never accept them.
Why would that person kill her parents? If she needed money, wouldn't she have just told her parents, and they would have found a solution without resorting to murder? Was this an unparalleled act of willfulness, and it would have been much easier.
Why kill? Was it such a sin to be rich that one's life deserved to be taken so easily?
That was what completely overwhelmed Kay, believing this to be the most sadistic, senseless crime ever, and she vowed to find the culprit who killed her parents, no matter what.
Kay's body felt so weak, he collapsed to the floor as soon as he entered the apartment. His body was hot, and he shivered at the thought of all the trauma that had enveloped him.
