Chapter 1186 The Killer
There were two reasons he wanted to take Rosie and Seamusâ bodies back. First, he wanted to
cremate them and give them a proper burial. But there was another important reason as well.
Devin heard that someone tried to save Rosie and Seamus before their deaths, but they failed in the
end. After that, Rosie and Seamusâ bodies were thrown into the sea. The question is, who tried to save
them?
Isaacâs boss must have been the one who took Rosie and Seamus away, but this person tried to save
them. Whose side are they on? Are they Isaacâs allies?
Devin had to go and take a look no matter what. With Isaac gone, Devin no longer had a lead. The
public might not know this, but Sebastian could only attack five medal holders, since none of them had
any dirt on the remaining five.
âThanks, but Iâll deal with it myself. You just take care of Sabrina.â
âNo problem,â Solomon agreed readily.
Devin went to the police station right after that.
He didnât talk too much and cut to the chase immediately, âHi, Iâm here to claim the bodies that were
thrown into the sea. Where are they now?â
âAnd you are?â As he expected, the officer wanted to know who he was the moment he made that
request.
Devin smiled. âIâm Isaacâs friend. Knew him overseas. I heard about his family problem, so I came here
as soon as I could. Hereâs my card.â
He handed his card over to the officer to prove his identity. Nobody but him knew that it was a
multipurpose card. Devin came up with it back when he was with the special forces. Whenever
someone wanted to verify his identity, heâd give them the card. Even if they suspected something, the
special forces would fill in the blanks whenever someone tried to look up on his details.
Thanks to that, he managed to slip in a lot of places undetected.
Devin looked at the officers calmly, expecting them to run a search. He thought they should be alert,
but much to his disappointment, the officer only glanced at it once.
âCome with me then.â
The officers walked away, apparently leading him to where the bodies were. A frown creased Devinâs
forehead, but he kept his card and followed them into the station.
After he came inside, he understood why the officers didnât run a search, since the office was in chaos.
Because of the explosion at Sheerwood residence, the whole city was whipped into panic mode, and
the staff members had to answer ten calls at the same time.
Even so, the phones wouldnât stop ringing, and the staff kept running around to answer the calls at the
same time. Some of the higher-ranked officers would shout at everyone from time to time. Devin even
bumped into some officers who didnât watch where they were going, since they had too much work on
their plate.
âAre you alright? Sorry for the chaos today. Your friendâs case is a bit of a mess to handle.â
âItâs fine,â Devin answered calmly. All his complaints from earlier disappeared since he could
understand why they let their guard down.
Eventually, Devin came to the mortuary.
The officers who led him here said, âTheyâre here, but you canât claim them just yet. We still have to
find some clues, so all you can do is take a look.â
Devin looked at them again. As far as he knew, the ten medal holders had lackeys and cronies
everywhere in the nation. He thought theyâd dispose of the bodies as soon as possible right after the
murder, or the police might trace it back to them.
But now theyâre saying they still havenât found the murderer?
Devin was slightly confused, but a part of him felt glad. He was glad because at least a part of the
nation remained uncorrupted by the medal owners.
Truly, he was delighted.
Devin closed the door and went to examine to bodies. At the same time, he called someone in
Jadeborough.
The phone beeped twice, and someone picked it up. âHello?â the man said coldly. Even though they
were on the phone, Devin could still feel his unabated fury from the mortuary.
But he didnât argue, so he sighed. âIâm at the police station now. Isaacâs parentsâ bodies are in the
mortuary. The cause of their death is drowning, but thereâs an injury on his motherâs arm.â
After he heard that, the man finally calmed down a little. âWhat are you trying to say?â
Devin snapped a photo of the body and sent it to the man.
A short while later, the man asked, âYouâre saying someone tried to rescue her when she was tied to
the mast?â
âYes.â
I like talking to smart people. They catch on fast.
âThe guy probably tried to cut the rope that was tying Rosie and Seamus up, but he failed, so they were
thrown into the sea,â Devin analyzed the cut on the Rosieâs arm.
The man was quiet for a few moments after hearing the report. Devin wondered what he was thinking,
but he didnât disturb the man. Instead, he turned on the speakerphone feature, put the phone aside,
wore a pair of white rubber gloves, and went to take a closer look at the bodies.
âThe cut is made by a scalpel,â the man suddenly said.
Devin was going to take a closer look, but he paused. âWhat did you say?â
