Murder, Rewind Chapter 12
A month later, the police informed me that the case was fully resolved.Adam–driven to despair after being rejected by the woman he idolized– confessed to everything.As it turned out, the moment he learned about our booking at the countryside guesthouse, he began planning the entire crime. He murdered the village doctor in cold blood, dismembered the body, packed it into a suitcase, and placed it in my car.He even hired a salon girl to pose as his lover, feeding her a script to follow. Afterward, he paid her a large sum and sent her out of the province.Now, he was captured.Everything that followed matched my earlier suspicions. The brazen, high-profile disposal of the body was meant to ruin my reputation. The sudden, violent blow he dealt me left me disoriented and defenseless–ensuring I would take the fall while my name was dragged through the dirt.He also admitted that once I was taken away in a police car, he planned to break the lock on the hotel room I booked for my par

Hannah stared at him in disbelief."Adam, have you lost your mind?"You killed the person who saved your life over this?"He let out a twisted laugh, then turned to the woman he loved with a tender expression."Hannah, for you–forget that old man. Even if it were my own parents, I'd do it.As long as it frees you from this misery, I'd do anything."A flicker of disgust crossed Hannah's eyes. She walked over and hooked her arm through mine."You're wrong. Meeting Arthur was the greatest blessing of my life.""He fights on the front lines of scientific research, giving everything for the greater good. And I stay behind, taking care of our home so he can do that.""Yes, I've had my share of hardships. But I understand–this is my way of serving the country too."Her voice turned cold."And you? You graduated as an outstanding student, yet you've turned into a bitter, twisted failure.""Always ready to throw your life away over petty emotions. Ungrateful. Heartless.""Compared t

So it turned out that Adam's obsessive love for Hannah did not fade after graduation–it only grew stronger.Especially five years ago, when he heard that we were expecting a child, the pain became unbearable.Drunk, he drove up to the mountain Hannah loved most and crashed straight into a tree. The car caught fire.An old village doctor pulled him out of the flames, badly burned, and took him home to treat him with painstaking care.When he finally recovered, the clean-cut, handsome look he once had was gone. But at least he looked like an ordinary person again.Years under the harsh highland sun darkened his skin, hiding most of the graft scars.The old doctor knew he was an orphan–and now, with everyone believing him dead in that fire, he had no identity left.Out of kindness, the doctor asked him to stay and help care for his sister, taking the place of his useless nephew.The real Kendrick had long since abandoned the mountains for the cities, unwilling to shoulder any resp

The police officer let out a sigh."Honestly, if it weren't for your past contributions to scientific research–beating international competitors at their own game–I would've already hauled you back for interrogation multiple times."He fixed me with a stern look."This is your last chance. If you still can't prove it, you're coming back with me to confess. Stop wasting public resources."I nodded."Then please go upstairs and retrieve the village doctor's belongings. Test them against Kendrick's DNA. Once the results are out, my innocence will be clear."Adam finally panicked and jumped in."On what grounds are you touching my personal belongings? Just because of her baseless accusations, you want the police to barge into my guesthouse and search it? If word gets out, how am I supposed to run my business?"The officer hesitated."He has a point. Based on what you've said so far, we don't have the authority to search a private residence."I smiled calmly."Fine. Then bring me

"Arthur, your case has drawn serious attention from your unit. An investigation team has already been assigned to gather evidence alongside the police."We've carefully reviewed everything you said during your livestream, but the claims simply don't hold up. There's no way to close the loop on your argument.""After thorough consideration, we strongly advise you to cooperate with the authorities and accept the official findings. Stop causing harm to innocent people.""As for your accusations against Kendrick–don't continue down that path.""From what I understand, the old village doctor who passed away was once honored for acts of bravery. And yes, he did have a nephew–but there's no motive for him to harm you.""If this continues, it won't just damage you–it'll drag your entire organization's reputation down with it.""Turn yourself in as soon as possible. The police will continue to investigate and get to the bottom of things."My heart sank.So this was it. The trap Adam lai

Every single name on the list read the same: Kendrick Smith.In that instant, it hit me–I underestimated him.Back then, he must have faked his death to escape. And if that was the case, he would have taken on a new identity as well.Thinking back to the village doctor who died earlier, a bold theory began to take shape in my mind."I get it now!" I blurted out. "Adam's car accident on that mountain road–it must have happened on this very mountain!"My voice grew steadier as the pieces fell into place."He was severely injured in the fire, but he managed to escape. And if I'm not mistaken, it was that village doctor who saved him!"I scanned the crowd, pressing on."He was an orphan. No one would have cared much about his death. So when the burned-out car was found, everyone naturally assumed he died inside. No one questioned it.""The village doctor was highly skilled. He must have performed extensive skin grafts to treat his burns–completely altering his appearance.""And b
