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

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

"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

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
