Chapter 170: The Closed Cabinets
Rory looked around to see if there is a key left behind. But all she found was a digital lock on the wall beside the table. Even the drawers of the table were locked. She wondered what this single digital lock would open.
She had a fear in her deep heart after the accident she faced in her grandmother’s room. She didn’t want to take a risk.
She sat on the chair behind the table and looked at the lock. And it occurred to her. Considering Lennon’s height, if he was sitting on this chair, that lock would be reachable to his hand.
If so...
She had courage spring up in her heart. But what could the passcode to the lock be? As she guessed with her grandmother, she looked around the room. She didn’t have to think harder to arrive at the conclusion that the passcode must be related to Roisin Walsh.
In this almost empty house that is void of any color, the only color was the picture of Roisin Walsh and the deep red roses. And she had a feeling that Roisin was very important to Lennon.
She wanted to think deeper, but she knew she don’t have the luxury. She decided to try it once and only once and decided not to try anymore. She had a feeling that there might be tripping alarms set. She didn’t want to alert Lennon.
Rory took in a deep breath and punched in Roisin’s date of death hoping that that would be the passcode. With each press, her heartbeat raced, and she got scared. She wanted to back off.
But she could not get the image of Liam out of her head. She needed something to get him out of there immediately. They are not even granting him bail and they have frozen their bank accounts. There is only one sure way to help Liam get bail--to throw a convincing case that Liam is framed. And for that, she needed to prove that Lennon is the killer.
And Jake’s involvement should have some proof too.
Although it is possible that Lennon’s connection to two serial massacres cannot be coincidental, he still might be the victim. Maybe Lennon loved Roisin and that’s why he had her picture in his office...
With a lot of conflicting thoughts ruling her mind, Rory pressed the final number.
