Lyra, who had hung up the phone, pondered for a moment at her computer and decided to call Anthony.
Anthony, who has been cleaning toilets for a month, was in a meeting at the Callahan Group.
When Lyra's ncup on his cell phone screen, he almost immediately took a serious look, paused the meeting, and went out to answer the phone, leaving a befuddled group of Callahan executives.
"Rara, what's so important you're callingat this hour?" Lyra said seriously, "Something happened to the Stone family. The whole family is dead. Did you know that?" Anthony said, "I just saw the news this morning and | haven't paid any attention to it. Is that why you called me?" He quickly realized, "You think I did it?" "The Stone family was on the verge of quitting the upper-class circle. Dylan Stone's family didn't have many enemies before he died. The last the had an argument with someone was at the Callahan Group because of what happened between you and Nevaeh..." Anthony listened quietly and smiled sarcastically. "So you suspect me?" Before Lyra could answer, he said, "Lyra, you think too highly of me. | don't have the ability to kill over a hundred people in one night. I wouldn't kill anyone if | have to kill Nevaeh." Lyra sighed. "l know it wasn't you. | didn't think that way." Anthony's face barely returned to normal.
Lyra continued her analysis with a straight look, "I don't think it's that simple. Although the Stone family is down and out, it's still a wealthy family. If there's no grudges, could it be that the enemy isn't here for the Stone family, but for the entire wealthy family of Suham?" On top of that, at first blush, Anthony was bound to be brought in for questioning by the NIB.
The case was so serious that Malcolm had to handle it himself.
Could they be after the Lloyd Family, White Family, Callahan Family, the three big families? Anthony thought for a while. "After this meeting, I'll go to the Stone Residence myself, meet Malcolm, and have a chat with him." "Well, be safe." A casual word of courtesy before hanging up warmed Anthony's heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe rubbed his finger over the note he'd given Lyra on his phone screen. Lyra hadn't contacted him in a long, long time, so long that he hadn't even changed the non his phone.
After a while, he cleared his mind, turned back to the conference hall, and resumed the meeting.
More than twenty minutes later, the meeting was quickly concluded and Anthony left the room.
Zack walked up to him slowly and said in a low voice, "Mr. Callahan, just now... | met Madam. She said she has something she wants to talk to you about in person.” Anthony didn't have to think too much but knew Mavis would be talking about the massacre at the Stone Residence.
His face looked stern and he rejected him decisively. "No, we're in the company. There is no madam here, only employees. She is an intern in the logistics department. Tell her to stay in the department and work. Don't even think about going to the president's office.” Zack bowed slightly. "Yes." With that, Anthony went back to the office, grabbed his suit and jacket, and headed to the elevator and the underground garage.
Twenty minutes later, when he arrived at the scene of the tragedy at the Stone Residence, the entire NIB was still on the spot to verify evidences.
There was a police cordon two metres away and a group of policemen were blocking the way. They could not even get within 100 metres of the Stone Residence.
There were a lot of reporters on the scene, waiting for the murder of the first news developments.
Anthony stood in the crowd and couldn't get in.
At a loss for words, he saw Chad walking out of the Stone Residence and quietly into a corner, bored and smoking.
Chad eventually found him and brought him inside the cordon himself.
"What are you doing here? You're not the head of Security Agency. You're not supposed to be involved in a big case like this." Anthony observed the Stone Residence courtyard wall, with a calm expression, and said to Chad, "If the Stone family really doesn't have any enemies, then I'll be the one who had the last argument with Dylan Stone. As the head of the Callahan family and the former director of Security Agency, I'll be the biggest suspect in the NIB so far. Sooner or later, the NIB will have to summonto ask about the situation. It's better forto cand explain myself." "True." Chad smirked and put out his cigarette. "Con, Malcolm is checking in Nevaeh's room on the third floor." Anthony slouched behind him with one hand in his pocket, while observing the Stone Residence with glancing.
In the garden of the Stone Residence, there was blood everywhere, and the strong smell of blood lingered for a long time, indicating how cruel a large-scale murder had happened here last night.
Anthony looked around. The police on both sides were busy. The bodies were covered in white cloth and carried out of the Stone Residence on stretchers. Only blood and white lines were left on the ground.
Chad cin with a serious look on his face, and Anthony didn't look any better.
"Did you check the surveillance cameras at the Stone Residence and the street outside?" Anthony asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I did. All the surveillance cameras were destroyed before the incident last night, and the chip embedded in was removed long ago. There were no fingerprints at the scene.” Anthony looked down at the white line that marked the spot where the body was found. "Did you find out what the murder weapon was?" "There weren't any tools left at the scene. The murder's methods were precise and all the evidence that could be investigated was taken away. However, the forensic doctor has already released the autopsy reports of several bodies. Almost all of them were killed by machetes.” A dozen slashing in a row, how cruel the revenge was.
How bad was it with the Stone family? As they chatted, they went up the stairs to Nevaeh's bedroom on the third floor.
Malcolm was examining the mess himself. There were white lines of Nevaeh's body painted on the window, and the blood splattering on the walls. One can see how terrible the scene was.
Chad knocked on the door. "Anthony's here. He wants to talk to you." Malcolm got up and gave Anthony a sidelong look. "Why did you bring him here?" He said Chad was stunned. Did that sound unpleasant? He did not dare to hide it, but told the truth, "Anthony worked with you all night on the tainted milk powder case a few years ago.
The investigation methods of Security Agency are different from those of NIB. | thought you would want more help." Malcolm was silent for a while, then turned and left Nevaeh's room, leading Anthony down the hall.
When everyone was quiet, he asked directly, "When you went on a blind date with Nevaeh? What did you break up about? Why did you mess with her? Why did you mess with the Stone family in the end?" Malcolm's handsface darkened as he began a series of questions. No one knew what was on his mind.
Anthony told the truth about what had happened and that Nevaeh had plotted against Mavis without any reservations.
"After canceling our deal with the Stone Group, | threatened Dylan Stone to take his daughter to apologize to Mavis or face a crisis at the company. After Dylan Stone struggled for a while, he told Nevaeh to apologize according to my instructions. Mavis also said that she would let it go, so | stopped putting pressure on the Stone Group and let him lose hundreds of millions of dollars. | didn't expect that in just one month, they would have such a tragedy." Anthony's face was grim. His blue eyes narrowed warily, and he told him what he was thinking. "Malcolm, the murder managed to kill the entire Stone family in one night, leaving the Stones powerless to fight back. They can't even make an emergency call.
The mastermind behind this is extremely ingenious. Ordinary people can't do that." "But Malcolm, do you still remember the tainted milk powder case that harmed Spencer? Back then, the mastermind wanted to use the milk powder to harm the children of wealthy families. Also... for the White family." Malcolm held his breath almost instantaneously, frowning.
How could he not remember? The tainted milk powder was responsible for the viral agent in Spencer, and the mastermind, Frank, was still at large...
