Chapter 1227
The person who reported the second murder victim back then was the victim’s hourly worker.
The hourly worker came to the house every day at a fixed time to clean. After discovering the horrific scene in the bathroom, they immediately called the police. Before the police arrived, the only person in the house was the hourly worker.
No one expected the hourly worker to have stolen the gemstone from the ring before the police arrived, which in itself is illogical.
A normal person would be too frightened to have their wits about them, barely able to glance at the corpse.
Maybe the gemstone was already loose and the hourly worker took the opportunity on a whim. After so much time has passed, the original circumstances are hard to confirm. What can be confirmed is that the officer Allen Rivera sent out discovered that about a month after the incident, the hourly worker went to a local pawn shop and pawned a black gemstone ring.
The officer in charge of the investigation was quite fortunate because the black gemstone had not changed hands many times. They quickly found the buyer and submitted the evidence.
When the item reached Allen Rivera, he tried placing the black gemstone in the ring—it was a perfect fit.
Allen Rivera gently rubbed the ring in his hand, silently contemplating.
The first woman who was murdered was found lying naked in the bathtub, with only tattoos on her body.
