Chapter 523: Half a Criminal Police Officer

Amelia sat on the sofa and gulped down a glass of fruit juice. She even let out a soft sigh. “Ah ‘
Giala poured Amelia another glass. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Mia, why are you and your father here in the middle of the night…” From the million-dollar car she had hit during the day, the father and daughter should be financially well off. It was impossible for them to live here.
Amelia held the juice and was thinking about how to lie. No, Dad said this wasn’t a lie, it was a white lie, but… how to tell a white lie?
At this moment, Alex said indifferently, “My job is half a criminal police officer. I’ve been investigating a case recently. Coincidentally, there are clues here, so I came over.’
Gyala wasn’t convinced. ‘What do you mean, half a criminal police officer? Can a criminal police officer have half a criminal police officer? Besides, what criminal police officer takes his daughter with him when he’s working?’
Alex crossed his arms and lied. “l worked too late today. My daughter’s tutoring class has been waiting for me in the office after class. She’s been waiting until now.”
Gyala and Amelia thought at the same time: Is is that what happened?
Gyala didn’t believe it, but seeing Alex’s solemn and dignified expression, it couldn’t be fake, right?
Gyala asked, “What case… does it have anything to do with me?” She immediately became nervous and tried her best to recall. Other than loving to stay up late and play with her phone, she had never done anything wrong! The rest was that she was too sleepy during the day and accidentally bumped into his car…
Alex didn’t waste any time and said, “A girl was killed some time ago. Her body is missing.”
Gyala was speechless. Suddenly, she was afraid again. The corpse… the corpse was gone?! She stammered, “But… I haven’t… I haven’t seen a corpse… No, it can’t be with me, right?”
Alex looked around the house. Who knew if it was here? He had only heard Amelia say that there was a female ghost trapped here. She had also said that some people died accidentally and could not leave their place of death. He had just made it up based on this. He had not had time to communicate with Amelia about the rest. That was all he could do for now.
“Have you seen any abnormalities recently? Or heard or seen anything?” Alex pursed his lips. When he pulled a face, he looked quite serious.
Gyala subconsciously said, “No…”
Amelia suddenly grabbed Alex’s hand and whispered, “Daddy, the closet…”
Alex stood up and took out a pair of gloves from his pocket. As he slowly put them on, he asked indifferently, “No? Think about it carefully.”
Amelia said, “Wow!” Although she didn’t know what her father was doing, he looked so professional! This was probably what her grandmother often said, spouting nonsense with a straight face? How impressive! She had learned it again!
Gyala was forced by Alex’s aura, and her brain worked nervously. Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly said, “Yes!” She stood up in a panic. “I’ve been smelling dead rats recently. I don’t know where it came from.”
At this point, Gyala’s scalp went numb. Could the smell of the dead rat be the stench of the corpse?! Didn’t that mean that the corpse was very close to her rented room and might even be in her room?!
Gyala’s hair stood on end and she was so frightened that she almost cried!
Alex wore gloves and pretended to look around. He even asked, “When did you smell it? Where did you smell it? Where is the strongest smell?”
Gyala was completely led by Alex’s thoughts. Her entire body stiffened as she said, “In… in my room… in the closet, the smell is the strongest…” Her entire body turned cold as she thought of the strange scene just now. A voice tried hard to say by her ear, ‘Lend me seven years,” and the handprint on her shoulder…
Giala trembled as she followed Alex and Amelia. She watched them enter the room and opened the closet. Alex’s gaze swept around and finally landed on the closet at the bottom. This closet should be a drawer-type. It was 60 by 60 centimeters in length and width. Such a closet did look inconspicuous, but it was still possible for a corpse to enter…
Now, the cracks around the closet were tightly taped shut.. Alex asked, “What’s
in here?”
