Facade of Love Novel novel Chapter 390

Officer Jackson was covered with a white sheet and wheeled out. Almost everyone from the police station had gathered. They solemnly took Officer Jackson away, while Gregory remained silent. Some officers approached him, and he nodded dazedly.

Just an hour ago, he was alive and well. In the blink of an eye, he was gone.

I lost track of time, and after everyone left, I felt a chill all over. A police officer reminded me, "Miss, you should go home and change into clean clothes before you catch a cold."

I nodded absentmindedly and thanked her. When I came to my senses, there were hardly any people left, and Gregory had gone to attend to Officer Jackson's body.

Originally, the police intended to take me to the police station for questioning, but seeing my condition, they decided not to take me for the time being. A police officer offered to drive me home. I told him to continue with what he was doing and assured him that I could go home on my own. He was initially hesitant but eventually agreed and left.

Sitting on a bench in the corridor, I looked at the leather bag left behind by Officer Jackson and the familiar photograph. Unintentionally, my thoughts wandered back to the moment Officer Jackson gasped out those two words, "Car… li..."

Charlie!

Why did Officer Jackson call that name before he died? The information clearly stated that the man with a crew cut was Lucas' subordinate. Why would he be connected to Charlie? Could it be that...

Charlie was Lucas!

Thinking back to the car accident a few months ago, the disfigurement… The disfigurement!

Thinking of this, I could not help but think of when Lucas was in Macamer. He was on the ship that was engulfed in fire that day. I had seen extensive burn scars on Charlie's leg, and he had mentioned being injured before.

The more I thought about it, the more I realized that Charlie and Lucas were the same person. Suddenly, a shiver ran down my spine.

If Charlie and Lucas were the same person, was he in such a hurry to kill Officer Jackson because he had discovered Charlie's true identity? Was he trying to silence him?

I pulled my phone out of my bag. My clothes were soaked, and the frigid weather had left me numb. I could no longer feel my hands.
