Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford ) novel Chapter 348

The enemy of an enemy was a friend. Did Steven intentionally avoid putting in his best effort to find the murderer and instead just watch them fight?

"What about Stephanie?" Eason repeated the question I asked earlier.

If no one were innocent, what about Stephanie?

Steven's hand was shaking as he held my hand. "She...is the key. She is the subject of genome editing experiments and should be showcased in the cabinet as evidence."

So, the person behind it killed me. I smiled bitterly. My genes were edited before I was conceived and born.

What did I do wrong? Why should I be ruthlessly killed and used by everyone?

I struggled to free myself from Steven's grip, but he held me tightly. His voice sounded hoarse as if he was begging me. "Stephie..."

He did this every time I got angry. But I was killed! Would he still condone the mastermind?

I firmly stated, my eyes were red. "I must find the serial murderer! I don't care why you're protecting him. I can't allow him to kill everyone in order to target the so-called mastermind!"

Those lives were innocent! Regardless of their guilt, it was the law that should administer punishment, not a serial killer!

Steven lowered his head, his breath trembling with emotion. He still refused to explain. He was so persistent.

I turned my gaze away, no longer relying on him to assist me in the search for the serial murderer. I would find the culprit myself.

Eason shook his head. "We've been unable to uncover any clues or make any progress in the serial murder case. Despite Yasmin's ongoing dramatic search for trouble, the elusive murderer remains inactive, making it extremely challenging for us. However, the mutilation case is connected to human trafficking. It is suspected that those 'natural' geniuses have been trafficked as gene vectors. They may be subjected to even more horrifying circumstances. Our top priority is to locate them as quickly as possible."
