Chapter 349 - 349: Elles True Identity (1/2)

”New Case, Son?” He asked Erick with intrigue.

”Yes, both new and old cases of Catseye.” Erick simply replied.

”Oh, it's regarding Elle's case. Son, can I take a look for a moment? And see the reports?” Raymond asked Erick permission.

He knew that those files were confidential. He was a retired policeman. He was no longer in the service so he was considered civilian now. He knew civilians were not allowed to see those confidential reports.

On the other hand, Erick appreciated his father for asking permission first. He, who was part of the police forces before, knew the law and the rules.

”It's alright, Dad. Just promise me one thing.”

Erick: ”What you see, what you hear, just leave it here!”

Raymond: ”What you see, what you hear, just leave it here!”

They recited in unison. Then they burst out laughing once again. Erick was glad that in his saddest moment, his parents were always there for him. Just talking with them, it could make him forget his troubles even just for a while.

”I am really curious. Catseye was really infamous and a very skilled assassin. I still couldn't believe that our sweet daughter-in-law was a very formidable woman… and a clever one. You have a really unique taste, son. No wonder, she's the only woman who caught your attention and interest.”

”Not only my attention, Dad. She took my heart, making it her slave forever.” Erick said meaningfully. There was a spark in his eyes when he was saying those words.

Then Erick gave him a copy of the reports regarding Catseye's case. Raymond just scanned through it and just focused on the important details.

After reading the report, Erick led his father to the bulletin boards.

”Dad, be honest… are you disappointed with me that I fell for someone who committed several crimes?” Erick asked Raymond seriously.

Raymond paused for a moment, taking a deep breath and rubbing his chin. After a while, he gave him an honest answer.

”If I didn't meet Elle and was not able to know her then maybe I would feel a little bit disappointed. Hmmm. But thinking about our moment with her, I could say that she is not pure evil. She still has good in her. It's just that, her dark past became a great factor that led her in this sinful path. I couldn't judge her just because of her crimes. Everyone deserves a second chance. And I think Elle found her second chance in you. The chance to correct her wrong.”

Erick was becoming emotional after hearing those meaningful remarks from his father.

”Too bad… she's not here with us now.” Erick's voice croaked. He was fighting the urge to cry in front of his father.

Erick chose to remain quiet as he gathered his emotions first. For him, it was unmanly of him to shed tears in front of his father.

Raymond started to assess the photo's of the victims in the white boards. He was observing it thoroughly.

”Son, why did you separate these photos?” Raymond asked him curiously.

”Compared to Catseye's previous victims, she attacked these people, not because of her mission as a hired assassin. They were the people she wanted to get her revenge with. People who were responsible for her parents' death.”
