Chapter 94: The cause of the fire.
At Dylan’s office...
"The cause of the fire was a short circuit," Justin informed. "But there is more—the security footage had been tampered with, which indicated that it was not an accident. It was deliberate. Whoever did this wanted to create chaos during the exhibition."
Dylan pinched his nose bridge, deep exhaustion etched into his features as he listened intently to Justin’s report. Since the fire, he hadn’t had a moment’s rest, consumed by the need to understand how Ava had been trapped there.
"I am still looking at who is behind this." Justin hesitated, then added, "But there is something else. Something... disturbing."
He passed his phone to Dylan, his eyes hardening. "We managed to recover some footage from inside the gallery. The last person to leave the restroom corridor was Miss Gianna. She was there. She might be the one who had deliberately locked Ava Madam."
Dylan pulled his hand down instantly and took up the phone, his eyebrows knitting together.
"If she was inside the restroom, she would have known about Ava Madam," Justin speculated with a grim face. "But she ran away alone, and the door was locked from outside. She definitely wanted her dead."
Dylan’s hold on the phone tightened as he watched the footage. The grainy video showed Gianna rushing down the corridor. The camera didn’t capture her locking the door, but he didn’t doubt for a second that it was her doing.
"It’s Gianna again!" Dylan grunted furiously.
