Chapter 1216

There were no police outside the room where Lana was murdered.

Jeremy looked around, and after making sure it was safe, he grabbed Madeline’s hand before going into the room.

“Jeremy, the door is locked. How are we going to get in?” Madeline was feeling worried when she saw Jeremy taking out a multipurpose key card to open the door.

Perhaps Lana lost too much blood that day, so even though a few days had passed, Madeline could still smell the stench of blood.

Madeline saw the spot where Lana died while looking at the winding trail of blood.

After closing the curtains, Jeremy turned on the lights to start looking for evidence with Madeline.

Madeline knew that Ryan was trying to frame Jeremy when he asked her to the cafe to take the reagents while calling Jeremy to come here to the hotel.

The staff who appeared all of a sudden was also arranged by Ryan.

Ryan had ordered some food to this room beforehand, so after Jeremy came in, the staff became a coincidental witness.

At the same time, the security cameras in the corridor were ‘not working’.

This man’s strategies were all meticulously planned. He had planned out every single detail precisely.

However, Madeline refused to believe that Ryan was able to execute this perfectly.

She took out the torchlight she brought along with her and looked carefully at the places around where Lana died.

Ryan had been here that day and interacted with Lana, so he must have left something or took away something.

However, something confused Madeline. “Jeremy, how did they get your fingerprints on the gun?”

“Easy. As long as Ryan had something I touched, then he would’ve been able to get my fingerprints.

This wouldn’t be difficult for him.” Jeremy could see through all of it.

Madeline was baffled. “Why does he want to target you like this? I don’t think he wants to push you to a dead end because of me.”

“You might be one of the reasons, but not entirely.” Jeremy looked into Madeline’s confused eyes. His deep eyes were filled with calmness and confidence. “Even though Ryan looks as if he knows everything, there’s something he doesn’t know—my true identity in Interpol.”

Madeline was shocked when she heard that.

She wanted to know more about this, but she knew this was not the time.

When she turned around to look for more clues, the light of her torch landed on the wall.

“Jeremy, look.” Madeline pointed at the wall. “Is that ‘RJ’ on the wall? Lana must have scratched it with her nails!”

“Lana’s blood is on it and if we run some tests, then we can know if it’s a message Lana left before she died. Ryan Jones, it’s him indeed!”

Madeline was furious, but at the same time, her heart was breaking for Jeremy.

Jeremy spotted the letters on the wall as well, so he took a photo of it with his phone.

“Jeremy, Ryan won’t be able to get away with this now that we have this evidence. Let’s go to the police.”

“No.” Jeremy stopped her. “This is not enough. Plus, Ryan is sly, so he’s definitely able to get away with this.”

Jeremy grabbed Madeline’s hand.

“Linnie, we can’t stay here for too long. Let’s go.” Jeremy switched off the lights and opened the curtains to restore everything back to how it was before they came in.

Madeline felt a knot in her heart. She found such important evidence yet still could not pin this on Ryan!

No.

She could not let a devil like Ryan run free! She could not let Jeremy become the scapegoat for this!

An idea appeared in Madeline’s head.

After they got out of the room, she followed Jeremy to the stairs. After a while, she grabbed him.

“Jeremy, I have a plan to make Ryan admit that he’s the one who killed Lana.”
