All Chapters of The Last Passenger: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

There were five people in our car, including the driver and four passengers.The driver was a young man with dark skin. He was friendly and talked a lot.He wasn't a full-time taxi driver. He was actually heading to Drakemoor for work, but he couldn't get a bus or train ticket. So, he decided to drive there himself and picked up a few passengers along the way.Right now, he was shouting in panic. "Damn! Someone just died in our car, and you still have time to talk? I swear, I'm so unlucky! What if her family reports us? Do we need to pay them? How much would we have to pay?"A pregnant woman in her 30s trembled as she asked, "Why would we have to pay? What does this have to do with us? The car breaking down wasn't my fault, and neither was the phone signal going out. I'm not paying a cent!"I listened quietly and gave each of them a label in my mind.The driver was a laborer. His hands were covered in calluses. In the trunk, I had seen work gloves and a safety harness.The pregnant wom

Melvin immediately pointed the wrench at her. "What could possibly be more serious than someone dying? I saw you talking to the victim alone. You even handed her a bottle of water. Did you know her?"The pregnant woman was so anxious that she couldn't get a word out.But my attention was on the man in the trench coat.He looked at the pregnant woman with a mocking smile, as if none of this had anything to do with him.He had been the last person to get into the car. He also had no luggage, so there was nothing that could give away his job.I had been watching him closely ever since the car broke down.He hadn't had any contact with the victim. Yet something about him felt very strange."Give it to me!" Melvin's angry shout snapped me back to reality. By then, he had already snatched the pregnant woman's backpack and forced it open.The woman burst into tears.Then Melvin found a stack of intimate photos hidden inside. "What... What the hell are these?"The moment the photos were pulle

I was sitting in the back seat of the police car, trapped between two officers.They clearly thought I was a dangerous murderer."I didn't kill anyone!" I shouted desperately. "The real killer jumped off the cliff! If you search the area now, you'll find his body!"But the two officers beside me didn't answer. The officer in the passenger seat turned around and glanced at me.I had heard the other officers call him Captain Thompson, so I immediately struggled against the handcuffs. "I'm not lying! You're police officers. Can't you find the evidence the killer left behind? Did the rain last night wash everything away? No! That's impossible! His blood is still here. Look!"I raised my blood-covered fist. "When I discovered that he was the killer, I fought him and injured his face. Take this blood for testing! You'll be able to identify the real killer!"Elias Thompson only stared at me coldly.He looked at me as if I were some kind of monster. As if I were a vicious murderer. "There is n

"Do you really think you're going to survive?"I quietly repeated the words the man in the trench coat had said before jumping off the cliff.He had planned everything from the beginning.His goal was to kill everyone else and pin the murders on me."Haha, Officer, stop pretending. You must have used your authority to alter the ride records and make me look guilty..."The officer beside Elias suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the table. "Caleb, watch your words! You know better than anyone whether you killed them. Do you really think making up some imaginary person will get you out of this?"Of course I knew.I had watched the man in the trench coat kill Melvin and Ruby with my own eyes. He had even tried to kill me.Yet now, the police were calling me the murderer.My anger reached its limit. Strangely, that was when I became calm. I closed my eyes and stopped talking.No matter what they asked, I refused to answer.Elias placed my earlier statement in front of me. "Caleb, acc

I stared blankly at Elias. I couldn't understand what he meant.Christine had been dead for three years. I couldn't understand what her death had to do with the murders from last night.After a moment, Elias asked another question: "Caleb, do you remember why Christine was in the car accident?"She was the woman I had loved more than anyone. Of course I should have known.I instinctively tried to answer. But then I realized something terrifying. I couldn't remember what had caused Christine's accident or what had happened before it.The only thing I remembered was that she had died on my operating table.After that, I had quit my job because I was overwhelmed with grief. Then I had left Drakemoor, the place that held so many painful memories.But I couldn't remember why I had returned to Vellenmark.I couldn't even remember how Christine had died.I started hitting my head with my fists. "Remember! Come on, remember!"Elias quickly called a doctor and had me given another sedative.He
