Chapter 208: Chain Letter (3)
The investigation into the chain letter was not going smoothly.
After Mrs. Parvati called the police, officers arrived at her and Jack’s house before long. Dealing with the police investigation and questioning took quite a while, and by the time Mrs. Parvati finally had a moment to herself, it was already the next morning.
Time was tight. After a brief rest, she took her husband’s phone and began visiting his friends one by one. Around noon, she finally learned the identity of Connie Doverlo from one of them.
The man ran a weapons shop in Demca City, Caesar State, and had connections in both the underworld and legitimate circles. Occasionally, he could get his hands on extremely rare firearms and weapons. Jack would sometimes place orders with Connie for hard-to-find goods, and the two exchanged contact information because of it. After several interactions, they had become fairly close.
But Connie Doverlo was already dead.
His time of death was extremely close to Jack’s—also on the afternoon of June 30th, only one minute earlier—
At 4:08 PM that afternoon, he had gone out shopping. While crossing an intersection, a truck suddenly slammed into a roadside signpost without warning. The massive metal pole toppled violently from the impact, and the triangular sign at the top came crashing down onto the road across from it like a butter knife. With a loud clang, it landed perfectly in Connie’s path, slicing him cleanly in half.
Judging from the time of death, Connie must have received the text message at 4:08 PM on June 27th. And perhaps because he found it amusing, he forwarded the message within a minute of receiving it. Unlucky Jack ended up receiving that death-bringing text because of it.
So then, who had sent Connie the message?
