In tandem, a perfect and quick kidnapping of Ashtyn.
In the dark, it all makes sense.
But Peter feels that the appearance is too smooth is the most false ‘fact’, easy to blind people.
“Keep checking, it’s never that simple.”
Peter gave the order and added: “The scene fingerprints, bullet type, any trace can not be spared.”
“Yes, boss.”
Giovanny led the way and turned to collect clues.
Peter’s heart was anxious and restless, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked it drearily all by himself.
If it was FE’s Maddox and Shaun who kidnapped the child, then who could have killed them both easily and at close range?
They are already a top expert, and there are very few people who are capable of being above them.
But one thing can not be neglected, that is, there is no sign of a fight at the scene, the fallen Shaun and Maddox was shot at close range, which shows that it must be the work of acquaintances.
Why did an acquaintance do it and kill them both? And not to poison a baby?
If the goal is not money, what is it for?
Who are the people behind the scenes and what do they intend to do?
Peter was puzzled by the succession of questions that came to his mind.
Peter originally suspected the Henderson Family senior, but from Edward’s reaction just now, it can be concluded that the dead is indeed Ashtyn.
Old Mr. Henderson had no reason whatsoever to lay hands on an infant less than one month old.
…
In the afternoon, a group of several people took Ashtyn to the funeral home to arrange for cremation, select a cemetery, and spend the afternoon taking care of everything.
This day, dense gloom, wind and snow plus cross, the gloomy weather depressing people almost can not breathe.
Until 5:00 p. m., it was already pitch black.
Everyone is busy with everything and is already physically and mentally exhausted.
“You guys go back first, I want to be alone for a while.”
Edward said breathlessly.
“Vivian is still waiting for you to return, you … pay attention to the body protection, do not torture yourself.”
Peter is all a bit overwhelmed.
In the mountains, he vomited blood in anger and anxiety, plus recently in order to find Ashtyn and accompany Vivian, he hardly rested properly.
All kinds of pressure and burden on his body alone, tormenting him almost collapse, his body seriously overloaded.
“I hope you can keep it a secret. vivian…”
Edward’s voice was hoarse and his speech seemed so feeble.
“We know how to do it.”
Peter sighed, said nothing, helped Adriana, with Harlee three down the mountain.
“Adri, it’s easy for Vivian to see you like this.”
Harlee looked at Adriana’s red and swollen eyes, and as an older brother, she didn’t feel good about it either, wanting to guide but not knowing what to say.
She had just gotten pregnant, and on this side she got the bad news about Ashtyn. All kinds of things were intertwined, and it was really overwhelming.
“Honey, I … I’d better go to Harlee’s house for the rest of the day.”
Adriana didn’t want to go back because she knew she wouldn’t necessarily be able to withstand such a shock, and she wasn’t sure she could control herself from thinking about Ashtyn and shed tears when she saw Vivian.
In order not to expose the situation and keep Vivian from being irritated, she had to resort to this.
“Or you could just go to my house and I’ll go pick up Eliza first?”
“No. It’s all gone, I’m not sure about Vivian, you guys just say I went to The Hale family and say Raymond went to The Alston family to cause trouble again.”
Adriana has found a suitable reason for herself.
“Good, but how can I rest assured that you are alone? How about I send you to The Hale family?”
The Hale family is now in a bigger house, so it doesn’t hurt to have one more Adriana.
Besides, there are many people, there is a care, Peter can rest assured that the next.
There are a lot of things that he needs to do these days and he needs to take care of them.
“Yeah, Peter’s got a point. You might as well go to Jenkins’.” Harlee echoed.
Adriana thought about it and nodded her head impotently in agreement.
Half an hour later, arrived at The Hale family.
Because Peter called Jenkins in advance, he arrived at the neighborhood and both Hayley and Jenkins came down.
“Adri, you’re finally here.”
Hayley was not sure of the details, only that something had happened there. She went up to Adriana and found her pale and sickly frail and a little worried.
“You take Adriana upstairs to rest first.”
Peter barked a message to Hayley.
Adriana was so devastated by Ashtyn’s affair that she was so disoriented and disoriented that she let Hayley take her upstairs, and she didn’t even know to wave goodbye to Peter.
Jenkins stood by, taking in Adriana’s every word and action, a little puzzled, “What’s going on?”
“What else can happen, Vivian’s child was not kidnapped, today found, the child has … alas, still less than a month child, sins ah.”
Harlee sighs long and short, following the sadness.
“What? What do you mean?”
The news came so suddenly that Jenkins felt for a moment that he had misinterpreted Harlee’s meaning.
“Nope.”
“No more? When did it happen, how is it possible?!”
In any case, both Jenkins and Vivian are partners in the relationship and have a good relationship in private.
Ashtyn, who I visited a while ago, was such a sweet and loving child, how could she have been lost?
It is doubly sorrowful.
Peter was silent and did not speak.
Harlee shook her head and shrugged, “It’s too bad a life was lost like that. But you mustn’t let Vivian know about this. She’s very fragile right now and can’t withstand any shock, so if she finds out the truth, it will add insult to injury and she won’t be far from a breakdown.”
Their thoughts were clear to Jenkins, and they understood.
But …
“It’s not a good idea to keep Vivian in the dark all the time, she’ll have to know one day. Otherwise it’s quite cruel to her to always have hope.”
“Say for sure, it’s just not the right time.”
Harlee waved her hand, “That’s fine, Adri will leave it to you, keep her company.”
“No problem.”
“Let’s go.”
Peter and Harlee both got into the car and went back to Asnana villa.
The day was extraordinarily gloomy, and it got dark a little after 4:00 pm.
Inside the villa, Vivian stays in the bedroom and doesn’t come out. Eliza learns of Ashtyn’s sad news and is immersed in grief, crying several times.
Peter has been out and about in order to investigate the truth of the matter.
And Edward couldn’t be reached this night.
Edward did not return to Asnana villa until the next day.
“Why are you drinking so much?”
Peter, who was about to go out, just came downstairs and saw Edward stumbling in from outside.
His face sank, “Vivian is still waiting for you, look at this look, how are you going to face her?”
As a big brother, Peter can’t accept the fact that Ashtyn was killed, but since it has happened, he should face up to it, instead of numbing himself by drinking and buying alcohol.
What’s more, Edward is not alone now, he has Vivian behind him.
A woman who needs him to soothe, to take care of.
