Chapter 50 What A Special Welcome
Under the pavilion.
Roger told Cecelia about his investigation during the day. The coroners had done an autopsy, and they found something in the throat of the deceased.
"This was found inside Ida Williams' mouth. Take a look."
Roger handed Cecelia a small plastic evidence bag. By the light of the pavilion, she could see a specially shaped cufflink inside.
"A cufflink?"
"Yes! Our initial suspicion is that the cufflink most likely belonged to the murderer. It's likely that Ms. Williams swallowed it before she died... That's a clue."
"A cufflink. So is it possible to conclude that the person who killed her might be a man?"
"It's possible!"
Cecelia had never seen this kind of cufflink before, "This cufflink has a very special shape. It seems to be specially customized. I've never seen a cufflink like this before."
Cecelia worked as a fashion designer, and Vera was the luxury high-fashion brand she founded. She knew most of the fabrics in the world, as well as all kinds of accessories, including cufflinks .
But the shape and style of this cufflink she was looking at was peculiar. It was not a regular circle or square shape.
It was made of black aubergine in the shape of a hexagon.
This shape was very peculiar. Who would use such cufflinks?
Maybe if they found out where the cufflink was made, they could find a clue.
While Cecelia and Roger were analyzing the case, a black behemoth rushed at them from a distance.
It was a black purebred mastiff kept by the Shawn family, fierce by nature and very aggressive. Normally, it was caged.
Cecelia's hearing was sensitive. So, when she heard something behind her, she subconsciously turned around.
When she saw a black lion-like mastiff pouncing on her, with fangs open, to attack her, she immediately jumped up and did a kickback. Her action was fast and vicious, hitting the mastiff straight in the head.
The mastiff fell to the ground and veered off track. But it rushed at her again, ready to attack.
Cecelia jumped up onto the egde of the railing to avoid the mastiff's attack.
In the dark, Camelia and Winnie were watching the scene, and both cheered for Thunder in their hearts.
'Go Thunder!'
'Bite that b*tch!'
Finding out it was the mastiff he had, Roger immediately yelled, "Thunder!"
Thunder tried to attack Cecelia again, but Roger whacked it on its nose, "Thunder! Stop!"
Thunder, being hit by its owner, was then restrained and stopped chasing Cecelia.
Roger grabbed the collar around Thunder's neck and apologized to Cecelia, "Sorry, Miss Cecelia, I don't know what was wrong with it. It just ran out. You must have been terrified."
"It's okay."
Cecelia jumped off. If she hadn't been practising martial arts for a little, the mastiff might have bitten the back of her neck and then she would probably have been killed on the spot.
She felt a chill down her back thinking about it!
"Go back to the villa first. I'll send this guy back!"
After that, Roger pulled the mastiff away.
Cecelia put away the cufflink and walked out of the pavilion towards the main villa.
At that moment, Camelia and Winnie came out of the shadows and blocked Cecelia's path.
"Winnie, you saw that, right? This woman was just hitting on my brother!"
"I saw it!"
