Framed as a Peeping Tom, but I'm Blind Chapter 14
Donald had assumed that all evidence had been destroyed by the fire, but he never would've expected that my father, meticulous as he was, would've left me a contingency plan.All of my photography data would go through a special encryption channel before ultimately being stored in the memory card in this small box. This last thing my father left for me had actually become the most powerful source of protection for me.Gerald, the witness who had been forced to skip town with his family after being coerced and bribed by Donald to change his testimony back then, also had a backup copy of the evidence. However, he didn't have the guts to take it to the police himself, so he could only send Melinda, his daughter, back to Harrisville with the evidence. She would then have to find an opportunity to hand it over to the police.Unfortunately, it wasn't long before Donald tracked her down and had her captured. After that, he sent Rebecca to impersonate Melinda and move into that apartment

"Just what exactly are you guys looking for?" I asked coldly.The man gritted his teeth and remained silent. However, off to the side, Rebecca burst into loud wailing."I don't know! I don't know anything! It was him! He was the one who forced me to do this!" Pointing a finger at the man, she was quick to throw him under the bus. "He gave me some money and told me to frame Charles Luson to get him out of the way! That way, he would be able to look for some sort of evidence or something like that! I'm just a fresh grad, so I needed the money! I had no choice!"What terrible acting.I didn't bother with her and simply turned to head to my bedroom.While the police and Teresa watched on in confusion, I felt around under the bed until my fingers brushed against a dusty wooden box.That was it—the memento my father left me.I placed the box on the table and ran my fingers along the familiar engravings."You guys were looking for this, weren't you?"The man's eyes instantly widened

Sucking in a deep breath to center myself, I twisted the key.The door swung open. Inside, a dead silence hung over the house.I stepped inside with Teresa close behind me.Everything seemed exactly the same as when I left—the placement of the furniture, that same familiar smell in the air.However, my hearing was telling me that something was off.It was too quiet.Almost as though someone was deliberately holding their breath.I slowly made my way to the middle of the living room, where I abruptly stopped moving.I could hear it.There—the couch that was slightly behind me, to my left…There was a heartbeat behind the couch, faint but rapid. Whoever it was, that person was filled with fear and murderous intent."Don't move," I murmured to Teresa in as low a voice as I could.At the same time, I shifted my body slightly so that she would be protected behind me.She seemed to have realized the danger as well, for I could hear her breathing abruptly stop.The tension in th

I had to get bailed out?I was thoroughly stumped. With the current criminal charges hanging over my head and my ruined reputation, how could I possibly be bailed out?"I'll think of a way," Teresa said firmly, leaving no room for doubt in her tone. "I've found a new witness who can testify for you.""Who?""Your landlady, Mary Liese."Upon hearing that, I was even more confused.Mary couldn't wait to kick me out of her apartment, so why would she help me?As though sensing my confusion, Teresa explained, "I told her that if you were proven to be innocent, then, as the landlady who kicked out her tenant without any valid reason, not only would she have to return all your rent and deposit, but she would also have to pay a huge sum for breaking the contract with you."However, if she's willing to testify in court that you've conducted yourself well during your rental period and haven't done anything suspicious, then as your defense attorney, I can waive her liability for breach o

Just as I was about to be swallowed by my despair, Teresa came again.This time, she brought me a piece of shocking news."Mr. Luson, Melinda's father, is Gerald Morell." Teresa gazed at me through the glass, her expression unusually stern. "He's one of the witnesses for the chemical plant explosion three years ago."In an instant, my mind went blank, as though a bomb had gone off in it.Melinda Morell. Gerald Morell. The chemical plant explosion.An invincible string weaved between all these seemingly unrelated leads, linking them up."Back then, Gerald was the first to step forward and testify that the chemical plant was illegally dumping their toxic waste."Teresa's voice dragged me out of my thoughts."However, just as the police were about to investigate the matter more thoroughly, he suddenly changed his tune and completely overhauled his earlier testimony. After that, he took his family and disappeared from Harrisville. Nobody knows where they went."But then, half a ye

Captain Jenkins again.He seemed determined to make my case an open-and-shut case. Every time there was a lead that could possibly prove my innocence, he would do his utmost best to prevent us from pursuing it."Then… What should I do?" I asked helplessly."Wait," she replied. "Trust me. This is a huge scheme they're plotting, so they'll definitely slip up. All you have to do right now is take care of yourself and wait for the right opportunity to present itself."With that, visiting hours were over. I was brought back to my cell, my heart feeling even heavier than before.We had hit a wall with all our leads, and the only flicker of hope I had was dimming by the day.For the next few days, the atmosphere in the detention center was rather strange. The bullies who picked on me before were suddenly a lot more restrained. Besides the usual disgust, whenever they looked at me now, their gaze would also contain a hint of fear.I had no idea what had happened.Then, one day, the c

A bright incandescent light shone harshly overhead in the police station's interrogation room. There was also a musty smell in the air.I sat in an icy steel chair, with Captain Jenkins and a female officer sitting across the table from me. The latter was in charge of recording the process."Name.

I hadn't spoken in a loud voice, but the words still cracked through the commotion, instantly silencing everyone. The neighbors who had been shoving and cursing at me earlier froze in their movements, while the middle-aged woman leading the crowd left her hand hanging in mid-air. It seemed she had f

"At least three times in the days before Rebecca called the police, I've heard two sets of footsteps coming from her unit in the late hours of the night. The lighter one is hers, but there was also a deliberate heaviness to them, like she was hiding something."The other set was incredibly light, a

Hope.In this endless darkness and despair, Teresa had given me a sliver of hope. It didn't matter that it was as weak as a candle flame guttering in the wind, liable to go out at any moment. Hope was still hope.Eventually, the police car stopped before I was led into an office. Captain Jenkins t
