Chapter 242 Lees expression grew darker as he walked out , glancing at the screen behind him .
Turn off the live stream , he said , his voice grave .
[ Wt Corpses ! No way , this is getting explosive ! ] [ Did Group set this up to draw them out ? Whats their real intention ] Is there anything L , as a VIP member , cant see ! Please , I want the whole live stream ! I ( This is even more thrilling than the variety show ! ] Anyone nearby ! I need the full scoop .
Ill send rockets ! ] The chat exploded with excited reactions from viewers , eager to see the investigation unfold .
But the situation involved corpses , and it wasnt something that could be made public just yet Lee , a man in his forties with an imposing presence , exuded an air of authority .
Every movement he made carried a sense of justice .
As he walked , he caught sight of the body under the tree and his expression soured .
The body was bound with an iron chain , its head facing downward and feet upward , as though it had been tied and buried upside down .
Get the coroner here for an assessment , Lee ordered , his tone cold .
He turned back to the young officer , his gaze sharp .
What happened here ! The young officer shifted nervously , lowering his voice as he reported , Before Ms.
Stone got into the car , she pointed to the tree and said we should dig there it would be a surprise .
We thought she was just being superstitious , but when we dug , we found legs sticking out .
We suspected it was a body , so we had it fully excavated .
Lees gaze lingered on the body for a moment , deep in thought .
Without a word , he turned and walked toward the police car .
He noticed the officers were already taking statements , but no one had been taken to the station .
Clearly , they had just finished the initial reports .
Ms.
Stone , how did you know there was a body here ? Lees piercing eyes were now fixed on her As a police officer , he had learned to be suspicious of everyone .
It wasnt normal for someone to point out a body with such confidence unless they were the perpetrator .
Odalys chuckled softly , unconcerned by his suspicion .
She calmly jumped out of the car , meeting his gaze without flinching Of course , I could see re than one She continued nonchalantly .
Ive been learning magic since I was a child .
This villa is full of wicked energy , and theres probably more body buried here .
If you trust me , extend your hand , and Ill show you , she added with a calm , yet confident smile .
Lee was skeptical but reluctantly extended his hand .
Odalys took it , her fingers dusted with magic powder .
With a small flick of her wrist , she traced a talisman on his palm before tapping it lightly .
The moment her finger touched his skin , Lee shuddered , and to his surprise , his feet began moving of their own accord , pulling him quickly toward the villa .
Leer the young officer gasped in shock The others stepped aside as Lee , almost in a trance , marched toward the washbasin and pointed at it , saying , Dig here , and pry that open over there .
Lee continued to pace around the villa , indicating twelve different spots , ordering the officers to dig .
At first , they hesitated , confused , but not daring to question him due to his position .
They grudgingly got to work .
Moments later , one officers voice echoed from a comer , Theres a body its bound Another one here ! This ones fragmented .
6.29 PM â« Chapter 212 This looks like the body of a child ! The voices rang out in the air , the officers discovering more and more bodies as they dug .
Inside the car , silence , their hair standing on end as they realized the villa was full of corpses .
Stellan and the others sat in sunned When they arrived earlier , Odalys had driven them here without explanation .
Odalys , did you already know something was wrong here ? Freya asked , unable to hold back her curiosity .
Before Selah could turn off the live stream , the other officers had already disembarked .
The five of them remained in the car , waiting Yes Odalys responded in a low voice .
This place is filled with wicked energy .
Its remote , and no one lives here , so its become a hunting ground for others .
The police never searched this place before , which is why I decided to bring them here now She explained further .
Tve been here before .
I knew this was the old mans territory .
The formation here is meant to bind souls and gather wicked energy , with all those bodies buried beneath .
He was using them to amplify the energy .
I just needed the right moment now that were recording a variety show .
I finally had the chance to bring it to light and let the police take care of it .
With the police now investigating , there was a chance the people behind the deaths particularly the old man would be exposed .
Even if they werent , the fear and chaos would spread , forcing them into the open .
Wow , Odalys , youre incredible ! I thought you were just picking some random , secluded place , but you had everything planned out .
Selah looked her with awe .
Francis , still reeling from the betrayal by his agent and girlfriend , was completely shocked by the revelation of the corpses .
Just when he thought things couldnt get worse , they did .
Ms.
Stone , Lees voice grew colder , and he stopped pointing at the spots he wanted excavated .
Instead , he walked slowly toward her .
He glared at her , his eyes sharp .
Odalys stood calm , her hands behind her back , waiting for him to approach Lee took a deep drag from his cigarette , his eyes never leaving her face .
You planned all this , didnt you ? You wanted to kill two birds with o stone ! one Odalys remained unfazed , responding softly , I just want to give these souls peace .
And this place , its where others have committed their crimes and gathered souls .
Im just trying to help She smiled wryly .
Tve done what I can today .
If you need help in the future , you know where to find me but Ill charge .
With that , Odalys turned and got back into the car .
Stellan , after hearing her words , started the engine and drove away .
Lee stood there for a long while , still holding the cigarette between his fingers , watching them disappear down the road .
The young officer approached cautiously , his voice laced with doubt .
Lee , do you think Odalys is involved with these murders Its impossible , Lee replied , shaking his head .
Ive already had her background checked .
She only returned to Crownridge seven months ago .
Shes never been down this mountain before .
And the time of death on the bodies suggests they died at different times ,
