Chapter 294
“Don’t gamble with someone’s life. What’s uncanny?” Zion was a bit angry. He grabbed Eason by the collar, wanting to beat him up.
Subconsciously, Eason blocked his face. “Don’t hit my face.”
“Eason, you’re in charge of this case. You have the right to get a warrant to meet Steven. The asylum doesn’t let us visit him, but you can.” I held Zion’s wrist and looked at Eason.
“Do you want me to beg him?” Eason was unhappy.
“You don’t need to beg him.” I took off my wedding ring and placed it in Eason’s hand, Steven put it on my finger while I was asleep. He said that I was his wife… “When he sees this ring, he will know that I’m the one begging him. He will answer your questions.”
When Steven proposed marriage, he didn’t care if I would agree to it.
Eason fell silent for a moment.
“Are you still hesitating? If you can’t find the victim, the victim might die,” said Zion irritatedly.
Eason nodded. “I got it. I’ll go now.”
“Eason…” I said nervously. “Please help me see if those people are treating him badly…”
My palms were sweating.
Eason seemed to be stimulating me on purpose. “Is anyone normal in the asylum? Even if a normal person enters the place, he will become a mental illness patient, too, let alone Steven, who’s already at
mental illness patient..”
“Eason!” I shouted in a panic.
“I got it. No one made him fight… I’ve warned him to restrain himself, but he still beat people up. He’s smart. I think he entered the asylum deliberately Eason mumbled before turning to leave.
I glanced at Zion.
That was right. Steven was great. There was no way he didn’t know that Martin stimulated him on purpose and that Martin had a collaboration with Peter. He must have known that they wanted to take
action against him in the asylum.
He must have known everything
Nevertheless, Steven still decided to beat him up. It was as if he had stepped on the trap deliberately.
What was he trying to do?
“The higher–ups want to stop the serial murder case from trending. They want to use Simmie to close the case… But there are too many mysteries yet to be revealed.” In a soft voice, Zion said, “For example, the first victim, Mandy… She became the sugar baby of a rich pharmaceutical businessman. After the fire

burned down the orphanage, she left Huma and went to Georgeke. She died in Huma when she represented her family to talk business. I found that she had connections with the black market.”
Every victim wasn’t a good person.
It was just that the police didn’t announce the outcome of the investigation.
“So far, none of the victims are innocent except Stephanie… Stephanie’s death is a mystery. I couldn’t find any traces of what she had experienced and what had happened. After she turned 18, she appeared in the Ford residence. Everything that happened before her parents‘ car accident seemed to have been erased by someone deliberately…” Zion leaned against the street light with a cigarette in his mouth.
He was nervous. Thus, he needed to have a cigarette in his mouth. Even if he didn’t light the cigarette, he had to have it in his mouth.
I looked at Zion, confused.
Even I couldn’t remember Stephanie’s memory of what she had gone through before the age of eighteen.
Zion was right. It was as if someone had erased it on purpose….
