Carl, who was driving, couldnât help but ask as he glanced at the rearview mirror, âMr. Romeo, do we drop Arabella off at school first, or?â
Romeo, âHome first.â
Arabella, âSchool firstâ
They both spoke at the same time, then looked at each other, âWeâre not sure about the identities and motives of those people yet. If you go to school, you might endanger the other students, said Romeo seriously. âStay with me. Iâll keep you safe.â
Arabella, Huh? Who was protecting whom just now?
âHave our people found any information?â Romeo glanced at Carl, who was in the driverâs seat.
Carl, âNothing yet, but since theyâre already in our hands, even if theyâre mutes, theyâll have to spill the beans.â
Iâve already found something.â Arabellaâs slender fingers quickly worked on a bounty website, and she soon found the IP address of the person who posted the bounty. âThe bounty was posted at 11 p.m.
last night on Deer Mountain, with a reward of five million.â
She didnât expect her virtual identity to be worth this much.
Carlâs eyes widened, and he glanced at the rearview mirror in disbelief.
Ms. Bella figured it out this fast??
How long had it been?
Less than a minute, right?
Romeo looked at Arabella, surprised by her growing skills âDeer Mountain is on the outskirts of Summerfield. Itâs steep and vertically 90 degrees, so thereâs no place for people to set foot on. Thatâs why nobody goes there. Thereâs no surveillance. There are three roads nearby where cars pass by. A total of eleven cars passed by Deer Mountain after 11 p.m. I tracked the routes of these eleven cars and found that they all seemed normal and did not try to avoid surveillance.â
Arabella pointed at the screen, zooming in on the surveillance footage. âBut look here, out of these eleven cars, a Mercedes appeared after a truck and a Toyota from another direction passed under a bridge.â
In other words, a Mercedes suddenly appeared after the truck and the Toyota passed under the bridge.
Where did this Mercedes come from?
âSo, you suspect that the Mercedes came from the truck? Thereâs something fishy about the truck and this Mercedes?â Romeo asked Arabella.
âExactly.â Arabella checked the truckâs subsequent route and found out that it drove into a car scrapyard and then suddenly exploded.
She also checked where the Mercedes went next and found out that it disappeared starting from the bridge.
Where did the people in the car go??
Arabella continued her search, and Romeo couldnât help but smile as he looked at her serious profile.
She was so beautiful.
âThe truck driver is dead. He left a suicide note saying he was in debt and didnât want to live anymore, so he set himself on fire. There was no one else in the truck,â Arabella shared what she found, âThe driver of the Mercedes was drunk. He crashed into a barrier and fell into a lake. By the time he was pulled out the next day, the car was beyond repair, and he was unfortunately dead. But.â
âBut what?â Romeo asked.
âThe way the Mercedes was driven didnât seem like it was driven by a drunk person.â Arabella fell into thought. After a while, she suddenly realized she was missing something and immediately started searching on her phone.
âDid you find a new lead?â
âYeah, we overlooked the Toyota. If Iâm not mistaken, both the truck and the Mercedes were a smokescreen created by the real culprit to confuse us and lead us away from the real issue. The focus should be on the Toyota. If Iâm not wrong, the person who posted the bounty is in that Toyota!â
