Divorced The True Heiress Gets It All novel Chapter 749

Chapter 749

They landed on the platform of the second floor.

The sound of sirens grew louder as police and firefighters quickly arrived at the bar. Vanessa sighed and said, “Aria, I’m sorry. I just wanted to take you out for drinks. Didn’t expect something like this to happen.”

Aria tried to cheer her up. “Hey, at least we had drinks. Cameras have caught everything in the corridor, so we won’t get blamed, but we’ll need to make a statement since we’re in the room next to Isaac’s.”

Sure enough, they were taken to the police station. While giving their statements, a young cop rushed into the room. “We’ve identified the victim.”

He lowered his voice and continued, “The victim is Isaac. The killer’s way of doing this is almost exactly like the recent serial murders.”

He killed him and burned the body. Since it happened in a public place, the impact was even greater.

The police officer said, “The surveillance shows that Ms. Saxon made eye contact with the killer. Mr. Ludwig wants to talk to her.”

Soon, Aria was taken to another room. A middle-aged officer with a stern face sat at a desk, the screen showing footage from the bar’s corridor.

“Ms. Saxon, please have a seat,” Ronald Ludwig said, gesturing to the screen. “The footage shows you made eye contact with the killer. Do you remember his face?”

The footage showed the bartender always keeping his head down on purpose, hiding his face from the camera. Even when it caught his face, it was too blurry and far away to see clearly.

Aria studied the screen carefully for a moment, then shook her head. “Too far to see clearly, but I can try to sketch him.”

Ronald, who was in charge of the serial murder case, looked up in surprise. “Can you draw?”

“A bit,” Aria replied.

Ronald immediately had someone bring over a sketchbook and pencils. Aria took them and quickly outlined a rough sketch.

One of the officers muttered, “Don’t you think she looks like Miguel when she’s drawing? She’s super serious.”

Aria finished the sketch quickly and handed it to Ronald, who ordered, “Go find him.”

Aria said, “Wait a second. This guy was wearing a mask.”

Ronald looked startled. “Are you sure? Did you hesitate for a few seconds just now because you discovered this?”

Aria nodded. “Yes.”

A young police officer couldn’t help but cut in, “If you felt something was off, why didn’t you call the police then?”

Aria said with a smile, “I wasn’t completely sure. If I told you I saw a guy wearing a mask, would you send cops?”

They surely wouldn’t. The officer was instantly left speechless, and Ronald glared at him to tell him to shut up.

Ronald turned to Aria, his tone serious, “Ms. Saxon, the killer saw your face. You could be in danger. We’ll have someone

protect you.”

Aria replied firmly, “No need. I’m from Mandino City, and I’ll be back by tomorrow afternoon. I’m not staying long.”

Ronald insisted, “We’ll contact the Mandino Police Station and have them send someone to protect you, just in case the killer tries to hurt you.”

There were multiple cases to investigate separately, and they needed to stop the killer from hitting again, so it was going to be a busy time.

Aria paused and said, “Actually, I know the victim.”

“What?” Ronald was stunned.

The officer beside him immediately grabbed a pen and started jotting things down.

Aria said, “Isaac served time in prison. My boyfriend was the one who put him there.”

Ronald was shocked. “Is your boyfriend Owen?”

Aria nodded. “Yeah.”

Isaac had a long record, and almost everyone at the police station knew him, and of course, they knew Owen, who sent him to jail.

Aria told Ronald about Isaac causing trouble after his release, and about his son with Eileen. It was a secret the Shaw family kept under wraps.

Ronald smiled. “You’ve been a big help. We’ll definitely follow up on this lead.”

Just then, an officer knocked on the door. “Mr. Ludwig, people from the State Security Bureau are here. Cathy happens to be one of the leads.”

Ronald turned to Aria. “You might have to come by a few more times later. We need your help.”

“No problem. I’ll try to help,” Aria replied.

Ronald went out to meet the State Security Bureau team, while Aria and Vanessa got ready to head out.

Cathy immediately saw Aria. “Aria, what are you doing here? Did Ms. Langford send you to check things out?”

Ronald looked surprised. “Do you two know each other?”

Cathy explained, “Mr. Ludwig, Aria is also with the State Security Bureau.”

Ronald was stunned, thinking, “That explains it.

Cathy was accompanied by two male teammates. One of them asked, “Cathy, is she the Aria Ms. Langford personally

invited?”

Cathy nodded. “Yeah, she’s also my sister-in-law.”

“What?” The two guys immediately straightened up and said in perfect unison, “Pleasure to meet you.”

Aria rolled her eyes at how dramatic they sounded.

Vanessa burst out laughing and said, “Hi, I’m Vanessa Ward, Aria’s close friend.”

Cathy shook her hand and said, “Oh, Aria told me about you. I’ve seen your performances. You’re quite talented.”

“Thank you,” Vanessa said.
