596 Chapter 595
Vera was pushed down from the car and taken to the interrogation room by Holly.
Keira looked at Holly.
Holly said, "If there's anything you want me to do, just say it."
Keira took a deep breath. "I indeed have some things I want to interrogate her about, but I don't want the special division to know. Is that possible?"
Holly lowered her gaze, pondered for only two seconds, then replied, "Yes. After all, you are the victim. Here's what we'll do. I'll give you ten minutes alone with her."
"Will it cause you any trouble?"
Keira asked.
Holly shook her head. "You underestimate my influence. If my dad was able to transfer me here, it means he's familiar with this department."
Keira didn't know what to say.
Was Holly still the righteous stickler for rules that Keira knew?
When did she become so accommodating?
Perhaps noticing her confusion, Holly took a deep breath. "I've been investigating the cause of your death in Oceanion, but you know what? To this day, I don't have any leads."
Keira was startled.
Holly then said, "That corpse was..."
"My twin sister," Keira answered. "At that time, she fell into the sea to save me. After I woke up, I lived using her identity to win back the custody of her daughter and to find out who the person was that tried to kill us!"
Hearing this, Holly fell silent momentarily. "I've checked all the surveillance, and there's no news. It's as if a mysterious power has erased the events that happened to you that day. It's like you weren't in Oceanion at all, so I found it very strange. As a forensic doctor, I don't know how to investigate further."
Only then did Keira come to a sudden realization. "So that's why you came to Clance to this special division?"
The special division in Clance was specifically set up to investigate Crera's mysterious cases and other special cases.
Holly didn't deny it. "I didn't volunteer for this myself; it seemed like my dad picked up on my confusion and transferred me here. Moreover, he told me that sometimes you have to adapt; you can't always stick to one way of doing things."
Holly looked at Keira. "I keep thinking that if I had been adaptable, maybe you wouldn't have died. If I were adaptable and had used some extreme measures at the very moment something happened to you to leave some evidence or a video recording, maybe we could have found your killer, right?"
As she voiced these thoughts, she began to seem a bit guilty.
"I'm sorry. Until now, I still haven't discovered anything, but within the special department, I've seen many cases and learned a lot of secrets I didn't understand before."
As Keira listened, her eyes teared up slightly. She patted Holly on the shoulder, "Ms. Stickler for rules, thank you."
Holly smiled. "There's no need to thank me. After all, I haven't found out the cause of your... your sister's death."
Keira suddenly stepped forward and hugged Holly.
The moment she was embraced, Holly stiffened.
Keira said, "Thank you, my first friend."
Holly was the first friend she had in life.
She was the close friend with whom Keira had strived to keep from middle school onward...
She was the friend Keira had accidentally lost touch with but had now reunited...
Keira let go of Holly and said, "Please take me to see her."
"Okay."
Holly led the way. "By the way, who is it that you want to investigate? I might be able to get some information within the special division."
Keira said, "Then, could you help me check your files to see if there's any information on a mysterious family called the South family?" n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hearing that, Holly immediately nodded. "Okay, I'll check it out right now."
Holly took Keira into the interrogation room and turned off all recording devices. She then left and went to the archives, aiming to look up information on the South family, as Keira had just mentioned.
She roamed around the archives but didn't see any relevant information.
The South family looked like normal people, not the mysterious family Keira was searching for...
She paced back and forth in the archives until she suddenly caught sight of an old, dusty file. She walked over and saw the file cover, which had the words "South family" written on it.
Holly's eyes lit up!
...
Meanwhile, as soon as the door to the interrogation room closed, Keira looked at Vera.
Vera glared at her, looking increasingly agitated. "What exactly are you trying to do? Let me tell you, what you're doing now is against the law!"
Keira walked up to her. "Fox, do you remember the bet we had?"
"What?"
Keira said, "We agreed back then that if I won, you would tell me everything about the South family! Isn't it time for you to do that now?"
Vera's pupils shrank, and she clenched her fists tightly.
She looked toward the door.
Keira said, "Five groups of people came to rescue you tonight, but they were all stopped. Vera, you have no other choice now!"
Vera hesitated. "Fine, I'm willing to accept the loss. I'll tell you everything I know."
