Violet’s time of death should have been two days ago, according to the police.

She had been staying at a hotel, and two days ago, the housekeeping staff noticed that the “Do Not Disturb” sign

was still on her door. This was not unusual, so they did not pay much attention. However, the sign was still there two

days later, and the staff became suspicious.

The hotel manager had knocked on the door, but there had been no answer. They then used the master key to

open the door and discovered a horrifying scene inside.

“Her body had no external injuries,” Fred lowered his voice as he spoke to Zuko and Lina from the police station.

“But they found toxins in her blood after the forensic examination…”

“She was poisoned?” Lina found it puzzling. “Has the composition of the toxin been analyzed?”

“It’s currently under investigation,” Fred replied, leaning against the wall with a heavy heart.

Although Fred was not on good terms with Violet’s family, he was still a Grist. He did not want to see his niece die

under his nose either.

“Have you checked the surveillance footage? Did anyone go in and out of Violet’s room these past few days?” Zuko

asked.

Fred replied, “She’s been in Centrolis for quite some time. None of us knew she was here. I only found out after

investigating the incident at the film studio event.”

“Could she have committed suicide out of fear after committing the crime?” Lina said softly, “After all, poisoning

and endangering public safety are serious charges.”

As they had speculated, the police delivered news of the arrest of a suspect in the crime.

Fred, who had anxiously waited for a whole day, perked up. However, the truth stunned him.

According to the police, during the interrogation, the suspect confessed that the Grists had sent him. When

questioned about the reason for killing Violet, the person claimed that the Grists didn’t want to support a waste

anymore.

Fred fell silent.

The suspect’s words sounded like something Violet’s selfish and overbearing parents would say. The entire family

considered the disfigured Violet worse than worthless, and her death was not regrettable.

Lina couldn’t help but feel skeptical, however.

It was already early morning when they left the police station. The air was cool, and the ground was wet from the

rain the night before.

Zuko held Lina tightly, trying to keep her warm.

“What are you thinking?” Zuko asked in a low voice. “Let’s have breakfast first.”

Lina frowned. “Zuko, don’t you find this situation strange?”

Zuko paused.

The whole matter was quite odd. The person who had harmed the celebrities at the party was caught, and the

reason for their vomiting and diarrhea was found. Violet’s death could be considered a deserved retribution, and

even the person who killed her was detained.

In theory, everything had been perfectly resolved.

However, there was still a lingering concern in his heart, as if the true mastermind behind all of this was still lurking.

“What do you find strange?” Zuko asked Lina.

“If the Grists really considered Violet worthless, why didn’t they deal with her in Jangasas? Why wait until now to

send someone to Centrolis to deal with her?”

Zuko squinted. “So, you think there might be someone else behind this?”

Lina murmured, “The police checked the surveillance footage and found that Violet checked into the hotel before

the film studio celebration event. The person arrested claimed to be acting on Violet’s instructions. Now Violet is

poisoned to death… I keep feeling that there’s an invisible connection between these events.

“The key point is the person who brought her to Jangasas!”

Zuko nodded, fully agreeing with Lina’s thoughts.

‘As for the person who brought Violet to Jangasas…’ A thought flashed through Zuko’s mind like a bolt of lightning.

Zuko sent Lina home to rest and went to Janine’s residence alone.

Janine lived in a villa near the coast. She had been used to being alone, but after meeting Jim, she felt the desire to

settle down. She had bought the villa because of its quiet environment, which was perfect for writing.

Although she and Jim mostly lived in Chaiseland, she enjoyed staying there when they returned for vacation.

Zuko rang the doorbell.

Janine opened the door a moment later and patted her grandson’s head. She was happy to see him and was ready

to give him some gift money.

Zuko cried helplessly, “Grandma, I’m all grown up!”

“You’re still your grandmother’s baby grandson, no matter how old you are!” Janine laughed happily. “What brings

you to visit me today?”

“I wanted to ask when Grandpa Jim’s new work will be released!”

“Still a long way to go!” Janine pouted. “That old man focuses on writing and doesn’t care about me when he’s busy

with his work. He didn’t even come with me to Centrolis this time. Hmph! That’s fine. I don’t care!”

Zuko paused for a moment. “Grandma, do you think Grandpa Jim’s new work this time should involve a bizarre

murder case?”

“Why? Do you have some material for him?”

“I actually do.” Zuko looked at her seriously. “And this material comes from around me. Perhaps… it’s related to the

people you brought along!”
