Kendrix didn't say anything. He just glance at Grace calmly, then continued to look at the images.
The whole office was exceptionally quiet. Only the sound of the projector's button clicking could be heard.
Kendrix remained silent.
Alice and Grace were silent as well.
They sat on the sofa and looked at the images with Kendrix. The projector projected the enlarged images on the wall.
The light in the room was particularly dim, and each picture looked bloody, making people feel as if they were really on a crime scene and were looking at the dismembered body. In fact, it was even creepier than looking at the real scene.
Although Alice had been Jensen's wife for many years and knew that he had dealt with all kinds of cases, she had never expected a crime scene to look so bloody. She could not help herself from gasping at the images.
Grace's face was pale from the start, as if she had been frightened. She took deep breaths as she looked at the images.
She reminded herself that she came here for her daughter. These victims covered in blood were probably innocent.
They had died an unnatural death.
As for Mr. Trevino, he did his job by analyzing these images in detail, and wrote down his deductions as to who the suspect could be.
It was an extremely tough job, worthy of everyone's praise and respect.
Although Kendrix was a young genius, he was also a normal person.
If the images were something Kendrix could stomach, Grace could as well. She wanted to be brave for her daughter.
After looking at the images, Grace started to look up to Kendrix even more. The young man did not seem fazed by the gory images at all. He seemed calm and collected.
It was clear that he had seen a bunch of these photos before.
He did not seem at all shocked by the gory images which suggest that he frequently came in contact with them. It made Grace deeply admire the young man.
It was a rare quality, in a man
At such a young age, Kendrix was able to stomach looking at these images. He did not seem to be afraid, and remained silent the entire time. He was really a rare talent.
From his behavior, Grace confirmed that he was indeed a young genius.
She thought the man was probably two or three years older than Gary and Ernest. Even though he was still young, he was already so successful in his industry.
The more Grace looked at the young man, the more she admired him.
After looking at the images, Kendrix busied himself on the computer.
Alice held her sister's arm tightly with sweaty palms. She tried to calm herself down, but she couldn't help herself from sweating.
Grace reached out and patted her hand in comfort.
Alice looked at her sister in surprise. She reached out to touch Grace's belly, silently reminding her that she was pregnant.
Grace shook her head lightly and wordlessly gestured to her sister that she was fine.
Alice was surprised. She did not know how her sister had been able to stomach looking at those images.
She thought that Grace had been frightened by the images earlier, but after a short while, she seemed to calm down and remained quiet.
Alice felt a little relieved.
Kendrix glanced over at the two sisters calmly and saw that the two of them were conversing with their eyes. It seemed that they were comforting each other in the dim light.
They did not notice that he was looking at them.
Kendrix turned off the projector, then switched on the lights.
The whole room was as bright as day.
Alice and Grace's eyes adjusted slowly to their surroundings.
