"That's why I asked whether she has any conflicts with others before she disappeared," said Officer Bishop.
"How is that possible? She just came back from abroad." Mack sighed.
Officer Bishop thought for a moment and nodded. "I guess Emily is not missing. If she was just taking a walk, she should be back soon. Don't worry too much. If Emily is still not back this evening, I will send someone to find her tomorrow."
For now, this seemed to be the best way.
There was no evidence to show what had happened to Emily, who had not come back home.
Following a sigh, Mack said, "Let me see you off. Sorry for the inconvenience caused."
"Not at all. I'll go back with my team now. Rest well."
Mack nodded and asked the servants to send these police officers out.
Ariah sat on the sofa and didn't say anything as she was thinking about Officer Bishop's words.
A conjecture had been formed in her mind.
Was Emily's disappearance related to Kobi?
If it was in the past, Ariah definitely wouldn't have doubted Kobi. But after what happened in the Hudson Family last night, she could not help suspecting him.
When the police left, Ariah asked, "Mack, are there any CCTVs in our house?"
Usually, there would be CCTVs in such a villa. If the Hudson Family had installed one, it would be helpful in finding out the truth.
Her father laughed. "Wow, you're quite observant. Officer Bishop asked me the same question as soon as he came over. It's a pity that the CCTV was broken a few days ago."
"It's broken?"
"Yes." Mack nodded. "It was discovered today. We seldom care about that CCTV. The residents here are rich, so the security will check the identities of the people who want to visit this area, which means strangers cannot enter here."
Ariah understood what the old man meant. The CCTV did not have any proper function, so nobody checked on it regularly. It was when the police came did they realize that the CCTV had not been functioning well.
It seemed that the last piece of clues had been cut
off.
Ariah frowned.
Kobi had just finished talking to Jimmy when the doorbell rang.
As long as he had Nicole as bait, he believed Jimmy would definitely come.
The door opened, and Kevin appeared at the door. Kobi was stunned. "Why did you come so early?"
"Why should I wait for your instructions?" Kevin didn't care. "When Jimmy comes, I'll stay in your bedroom and make no sound. I must find the right time to hit him."
Kobi kept checking the surroundings when Kevin came in. "Don't worry, no one is following me. I am as alert as you are."
Kobi then closed the door and inquired, "What are you planning to do to Jimmy?"
Once Kevin sat down, he said, "Don't worry, I won't take his life just like that. After waiting for so many years, it'll be too boring if I kill him so quickly."
Kobi frowned. "If you want to kill him, there's no need to torture him."
"Hey, are you pitying him now?"
Kobi didn't want to reply to the question. "I just feel that you are too abnormal." "I've been planning it for so many years. Let's wait for tonight." Kevin snorted with a strange look in his eyes.
