Zeke felt nervous, but he forced a calm expression on his face before he refuted, “Mom, Dad, Lacey. What is that
look for? You guys don’t think that I killed the three of them out of vengeance, do you? Stop fooling around. I spent
the entire night with Lacey, so I didn’t have any time to commit any crime. Moreover, I do not have the power to kill
them. The news clarified everything, right? They committed suicide.”
The family’s questioning gaze turned loving as their suspicion died down.
Zeke’s phone rang up at that moment.
He fished it out and checked the screen. It was Jeffrey. Without a doubt, he had called to tell Zeke about the
suicides.
Naturally, he couldn’t accept a call in front of everyone. He grinned and said, “Mom, Dad. I have some errands to
run, so I need to head out for a bit. You guys eat without me.”
After saying his piece, he got up to leave.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHannah then added, “Alright, let’s eat.”
Lacey suddenly whispered mysteriously, “Mom, Dad, There’s something I need to share. Last night, I noticed that
Zeke’s palm was injured. He claimed he got smashed by a door, but it looked like a knife wound to me.”
Daniel gasped, “Lacey, are you saying that he might actually be involved in the deaths of those three men?”
Lacey sighed, “I don’t know, Dad. I’ve always had the feeling that Zeke is not an ordinary man.”
“I sensed that too,” replied Daniel after deliberating for a while.
“If Zeke really killed those three influential men, then he must be from an extremely powerful family.”
“I don’t care who Zeke is. All I know is that he cares and loves our family, and I will only ever recognize him as my
son-in-law,” said Hannah. “By the way, Lacey, it’s been over six months. Why aren’t you pregnant yet? Should we
go to the hospital for a check-up?”
Lacey was upset then, so she waved her hand and said, “I’ll wake Sharon up. It’s time for her to go to school.”
“That annoying daughter of mine...” Hannah sighed exasperatedly before she turned to Daniel. “Have a real talk
with Zeke in a few days and ask him about his past.”
Daniel replied, “Alright, I’ll ask a few of my friends over for a drink and have Zeke keep us company. I should be
able to get him to share everything after he’s drunk.”
Hannah retrieved a bottle of hard liquor hidden under the table and handed it to Daniel. “Then you’ll need to train
your system. You always get drunk whenever you drink with Zeke.”
Daniel never dreamed that there would come a day when his wife would take the initiative and tell him to drink
more.
At the prison, they had sealed off the crime scenes where Wilson Wood, Harvey Hoffman, and Logan Hugh died.
Jeffrey looked troubled when he stared at Wilson Wood’s corpse.
Wilson’s bloodied eyes were wide open as they burned with fury. His expression was distorted. The pain had
obviously killed him. It was not a suicide as reported by the news.
However, they needed to prevent the public from panicking, so they had to tell everyone that the criminals
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcommitted suicide.
Still, the coroner couldn’t determine the cause of death, even though he had been trying to figure it out for a while.
That gave Jeffrey a headache.
Just the day before, they had planned to tighten the security to protect Wilson and the others. Who would’ve
thought that the trio would be murdered before they initiated those plans?
Dang it! Looks like the investigation into the illegal drug empire has reached its dead end.
Zeke showed up at that moment.
Jeffrey hurried over to him. “Mr. Williams, you’re finally here. I’m so sorry. I made a mistake and didn’t keep the
criminals safe”
Zeke blamed Jeffrey a little, but the former didn’t show it.
Instead, he waved his hand and interrupted Jeffrey before asking, “Has the coroner determined the cause of
death?”
“Not yet.” Jeffrey shook his head.
“Alright, clear out the crime scene and let me examine the victim,” instructed Zeke.
Jeffrey immediately did as requested.
Zeke started examining Wilsons scalp and eyes as soon as everyone left.
