Amelie was startled.
She turned around and looked over. In the night, an army green jeep stopped quietly behind the taxi, and the owner of the sound just now was Anthea, who was jumping down from the passenger seat.
A tall man was also walking towards Amelie.
It was Adam. Dressed in military uniform, he looked like the judge of Varna in hell.
Amelie froze there.
Why were they here?
The uneasiness she had felt before was getting stronger and stronger.
The police officer spoke cautiously with an cold expression. "Miss Celestin, let me repeat it again. Please go with us to assist in the investigation! There was a murder case of gas leaking in a residential area just now. We suspect you have something to do with it!"
Amelie's heart was racing. She tried her best to ease her emotions and make herself look calmer. "I don't know what's going on! I just couldn't fall asleep recently, so I walked around!"
"I did just pass by the residential area you mentioned, but I don't know a murder case happened there. It sounds incredible that. I think you'll know that you have come to the wrong person, if you learn who I am!"
"Really?" Anthea sneered.
Amelie clenched her fists.
Just as she was about to continued to defend herself, she saw Anthea suddenly turn to the side.
Behind her, Wesley's wife showed up with her daughter in her arms.
Amelie looked as if she had seen a ghost.
After making sure that she was not mistaken, her face instantly turned pale.
Her eyes widened in shock and her voice trembled. "How could you..."
How could a person who should be dead now appear again? This was impossible!
The woman was glaring at her with red eyes.
The little girl in her arms was half asleep. They both looked fine, not like the people who were poisoned by carbon monoxide at all.
Actually, they had only sucked a small amount of carbon monoxide, which was mild. After they breathed in fresh air, they became all right.
When they were in a panic in the room, the people arranged by Adam entered through the window of the washroom and rescued them.
This was actually a trap set up by Adam.
And his purpose was to trap Amelie.
In the beginning, he deliberately released the news that Wesley's wife and daughter were hiding in Francis, in order to let Wesley in prison and the person behind the scenes know about it. Then he arranged the mother and daughter to be brought back for further investigation, so that the person behind the scenes would definitely do something.
On the way from the airport to the downtown area, the two policemen deliberately let their own guard down to cause the mother and daughter being taken away secretly. And then they could catch this hidden snake for sure!
Amelie had also understood this when she saw the woman. Her head started buzzing.
She held her breath and racked her brain to think of countermeasures.
But the next second, she saw Adam suddenly take out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket. He showed the screen to the crowd, and he was in a video connection with Wesley.
Wesley was sitting on a chair in cuffs in the prison. It was obvious that he was being questioned.
In the dead silence of the night, Wesley's agitated voice rang out. "It's her! It's Amelie Celestin! Six years ago, Madam Jiles wanted to hire me to kill Master Hsu, but she regretted it later and stopped me. It's Amelie Celestin who paid me to hit Master Hsu. And she did the same thing six years later. She gave me a lot of money and asked me to kidnap Miss Lee and then kill her!"
