Chapter 319 - 319: Catseye Is Back! (1/2)

As early in the morning, Erick received a call from Police Officer Kim, requesting members of XXX Crime Investigation Bureau to head over a crime scene area.

He didn't give Erick the full detail but it sounded very urgent. Erick also called Bryan, instructing him to go with him as well.

Erick suddenly remembered Elle's request. Since he also wanted to see her Erick informed her about this big scope.

Erick: ”Good morning!

Elle: ”Good morning too, Chief Lee!”

Erick: ”I told you just call me Erick. By the way, where are you?”

Elle: ”Hmmm… still at my place. Why?”

Erick: ”I have a scope for your team to cover. It's some kind of murder case. You might see some unpleasant and unsightly scenes. Do you still want to come? I am on my way to the location now.

Elle: ”Yes, of course! This is also part of our job as reporters.

Hearing her persistence and determination, Erick gave her the location. Erick smiled the moment he received her reply, telling him that Elle together with her team was now also on the way going to the place.

Both of them were unaware of what was waiting for them in the crime scene that would truly shake them once they saw it.

Among them, Bryan was the first one who arrived since the address was nearer to his house compared to Erick and Elle. Several police officers were also there headed by Police Officer Kim.

They were already taking pictures of the crime scene and gathering some useful evidence. The crime happened in a small concrete bungalow house at the District of Whales. There was a white room inside the house.

It was not an old house rather it was a newly built house but no one was occupying it. There were no neighboring houses in the area so it was a perfect place to do a crime and to murder someone, without worrying about witnesses.

When Bryan entered the room he was shocked beyond belief seeing the brutal scene in front of him. But that's not the only reason why he was utterly astonished.

”H-How could this happen?” That's the only words he could utter at that moment.

Officer Kim stood beside him, shaking his head. ”I also have no idea. This is the main reason I requested Chief Lee's presence here.”

Then they heard the sound of approaching cars outside.

”I think that's Chief Detective Lee.” Officer Kim mumbled.

Elle and Erick arrived at the same time. Sandy and Josh were also there. Erick guided them inside. He was the one who talked to the police officers to let the reporters in together with him.

They were still in the entrance door of the white room but they could already smell the stinky metallic scent of blood. Erick stopped Elle for a moment, giving her handkerchief first to cover her nose.

”Chief Lee!”

”Erick!”

Both Officer Kim and Bryan called him out but the moment they saw Elle beside Erick the two forgot what they were about to say to Erick.

Officer Kim just stood there bewildered. He didn't expect to see Elle. He was also aware of the story about Elle's identity as Catseye and that she was already dead.

On the other hand, Bryan was giving Elle a strange look as if he was assessing her thoroughly, hoping that he would be able to see some clue. But when he averted his gaze to Erick, Bryan's expression was filled with worries and uncertainties.

Meanwhile, Elle and Erick, both of them froze as their eyes saw a certain portion of the wall wherein a message was written in blood.

[ CATSEYE IS BACK TO COLLECT SOME DEBTS! THE DEVIL IS COMING YOUR WAY! ]

'No! No! This is not my doing!' Elle was screaming hysterically in her mind.

Elle's face instantly became pale. She staggered and almost fell but fortunately, Erick was there beside her, holding her the moment he noticed her trembling in shock. She was quite shaken.

Complicated emotions flickered through Erick's eyes as he darted his gaze back and forth between Elle and the bloody notes written on the wall. The entire room was engulfed with deafening silence.

Then suddenly they heard a surprised gasp. It was Sandy. She entered the room together with Josh. They didn't expect to see this.

The white room became red as the blood of the victim splattered all over the place. The corpse was still there on his standing position where his feet and arms were restrained by cuffs. He was hung into the two metal posts at the center of the room.

The smell of blood smothered their senses, suffocating their breaths. Sandy had the urge to throw up.

”Oh my gosh! This is so brutal!” Sandy exclaimed.
