Chapter 631: Chapter 333: Always Feel Like Something Is Going to Happen
As soon as Xiao Hua finished speaking, Jane Quinlan moved over to her side from inside the bed.
Staring at the cell phone, she was a bit confused: "What’s strange?"
Xiao Hua slapped her forehead: "What eyes are you using?
You didn’t really look closely last night, did you?"
"I glanced at it, Kay Forrest watched it for two or three cycles."
"That’s right, the previous cycles of the footage were indeed the same, but look here after the footage paused, do you see a person’s shadow?"
Xiao Hua said, pointing at the floor mirror behind the blood-stained porcelain doll on the screen.
To say it was a person’s shadow was a bit of an exaggeration, it was probably just the lower half of the person filming the video.
Before, because the footage looped too quickly, it was basically unnoticeable.
But after the footage automatically stopped, you could see it.
"It’s just lower legs and feet, can’t make out anything from that."
"It’s definitely a woman, look, the person is wearing bed red and white striped slippers, her ankles are very thin, and there’s even a small floral tattoo on her left ankle."
Jane Quinlan looked closely and sure enough: "How sharp are your eyes."
"Please, I’m used to reviewing documents, and I also inspect pictures when I’m free, it’s kind of an occupational hazard."
Xiao Hua put down the phone: "Think about it, do you have a grudge against any woman?"
Jane Quinlan thought carefully and shook her head: "Besides Evie Larkin, there’s no one else."
"Could this be Evie Larkin’s doing?"
Jane Quinlan could only continue shaking her head: "I don’t know, honestly, these past few days I’ve been really confused, feeling really burned out.
I don’t know who I have offended, and I don’t even know who this person is targeting.
Even this phrase ’murder demands a life in return, naturally justified’ feels a bit eerie to me."
Xiao Hua thought for a long time, and finally suspiciously asked: "Jane, I don’t mean to doubt Director Forrest.
But...do you think it’s possible that Director Forrest had committed a murder before, and it was covered up by his family with money.
Now someone from the victim’s family is seeking revenge?"
Jane Quinlan tapped Xiao Hua’s head with the back of her hand: "Miss Holmes, can you not spout nonsense.
I still believe in Kay Forrest’s character, he would never commit such a thing as murder."
Xiao Hua pouted: "Yeah, Director Forrest is such a good person, how could he do such a thing."
Jane Quinlan lay back on the bed irritably: "I don’t want to think about it anymore, the more I think, the more upset I get."
She had just laid down when the phone rang.
Both turned their heads to look, seeing it was an unfamiliar number, Jane Quinlan instinctively frowned.
"You’re kidding, again?"
"Don’t be afraid, I’ll answer," Xiao Hua boldly grabbed the phone to answer: "Hello, who are you exactly."
"Hello, I am from the courier company, may I speak to Miss Jane Quinlan?
We have a parcel for you, is it convenient for me to bring it up now?"
"A parcel?" Xiao Hua looked puzzledly at Jane Quinlan.
Jane Quinlan had no reaction, Xiao Hua said: "You wait downstairs, I’ll come down to pick it up."
"Okay."
Xiao Hua got up from the bed: "Did you buy something?"
Jane Quinlan shook her head: "No, I guess it’s from that person again."
Xiao Hua curled her lips: "You stay here, I’ll go down and check. I’ll open the parcel once I get it."
"Okay."
Xiao Hua got up and went out, and after reaching downstairs, two bodyguards were still standing at the door.
The delivery guy parked his tricycle right at the building’s main entrance, and Xiao Hua went forward to sign for the parcel.
In front of the two bodyguards, she took a deep breath and opened the parcel.
But the moment she saw what was inside, she immediately stood up and kicked the parcel box away, dammit, she was most afraid of rats.
Inside was a half-skinned dead rat.
The bodyguards stepped forward for a look, also finding it somewhat sinister.
Xiao Hua quickly turned and went upstairs, grabbing her chest as soon as she entered the room.
"Jane, what kind of demon did you encounter?"
"What is it? What else?"
"A half-skinned dead rat, it really scared me to death.
I am most afraid of rats, snakes, and spiders."
Jane Quinlan sighed, "I am too."
"It’s good that you weren’t the one who went down, otherwise you might have been so scared you’d lose the baby.
No, you should call Director Forrest right away.
The nature of this incident is too malignant, if it comes to it, we should call the police."
Jane Quinlan turned and went back into the bedroom to grab her phone while dialing: "I already discussed with Kay Forrest last night about whether we should call the police or not.
But Kay Forrest said that the police won’t solve the case faster than the spies he sent out."
"Anyway, you should talk to Director Forrest quickly, I’ve already torn off the label from the parcel box."
Jane Quinlan nodded, the phone connected, and she said to Kay Forrest: "Forrest, the Holmes you sent today really helped me out a lot."
"Holmes?"
Jane Quinlan smiled and told Kay Forrest about the things she discovered after watching the video with Xiaohua, and also casually mentioned that she found the dead rat package.
Kay Forrest was in a furious state.
This person is really too cunning.
This morning, after arriving at the company, he received the latest news from a Spy.
The sender of the package was finally identified.
The address of origin is indeed Anchester, and the sender was also found.
But the person who sent it said he met someone by the roadside who gave him five hundred bucks to help mail the package.
The key point is that person was wearing a mask that day, so the sender doesn’t know what they looked like.
The clue was suddenly broken off.
The package has yet to reveal any leads, and then suddenly another one appears...
But surprisingly, such a scene was in the video.
Looking at this, it seems that the person who sent the package is definitely not Evie Larkin.
She doesn’t have a tattoo on her ankle.
Thinking about it, this is also a quite important clue.
But the dead rat package is estimated to end up with the same results as the previous one sent to the company.
"Forrest, why aren’t you speaking?"
"I’m thinking about some things, let me sort through my thoughts and I’ll talk to you about them tonight when I come back."
"Sure, okay."
"Xiaohua is alright, right? She must have been really scared seeing that sort of thing."
Jane Quinlan asked Xiaohua with a smile: "Kay Forrest is worried about you getting scared, he’s asking if you are alright."
Xiaohua laughed loudly and shouted: "Director Forrest, I got scared.
You have to treat me to a big meal to calm my nerves."
"That’s definitely not a problem, it’s a must."
Xiaohua nodded in satisfaction, Jane Quinlan told Kay Forrest: "Xiaohua is most afraid of these things, she really suffered today following us."
"Don’t bother with cooking at noon today, I’ll have the hotel deliver lunch to your home.
I personally ordered everything, you just rest assured.
The bodyguard will bring it up to you, you don’t need to come out."
Jane Quinlan nodded: "Sure."
After hanging up the phone, Jane Quinlan said: "Kay Forrest is treating you to a feast this noon."
"Director Forrest is always so generous, I should have dragged your brother along today."
"My brother?"
"Pfft, he went to meet that annoying Xavier."
Upon mentioning Xavier, Jane Quinlan’s expression is no longer filled with hate as before.
The initial agitation has gone, and thus she can be calm about it.
"Benjamin Quinlan mentioned, it seems Xavier found a job."
"Really? I remember Kay Forrest had a ban on him.
It’s really surprising that he could still find a job in Anchester."
Xiaohua shook her head: "It might not be in Anchester, Benjamin Quinlan didn’t tell me whether it was a farewell or he’s coming back from a trip.
Knowing I dislike Xavier, Benjamin Quinlan didn’t go into details.
I really don’t want Benjamin Quinlan to associate with someone like Xavier.
But Benjamin Quinlan values loyalty so no one can do anything about him."
"Actually, you didn’t necessarily have to dislike him, isn’t it because of me?
You shouldn’t bother about Xavier’s matters anymore.
He should have been punished and learned his lesson by now, I don’t hold a grudge against him, it’s all past."
"I’ve noticed that ever since you’ve been with Director Forrest, you’ve matured a lot, becoming more open-minded."
"People should progress, right? I’ve grown up."
Xiaohua gently touched Jane Quinlan’s stomach: "Oh my, little darling, look at how capable your mom is."
Jane Quinlan also patted her stomach: "Baby, you better not learn from your Aunt, she’s too talkative."
"That’s no way to teach a child, later the baby will probably like his Aunt more.
Little darling, don’t listen to your mom, your Aunt is really nice, definitely will spoil you in the future.
So, make sure you like your Aunt."
Jane Quinlan chuckled, it was good that Xiaohua came.
Otherwise, she didn’t know until when she would be lost in wild thoughts alone at home today.
She still felt a bit uneasy, feeling as if something was about to happen.
Hopefully, her sixth sense isn’t too accurate.
