Chapter 756
Three days later, while Aria was having dinner, Deangelo called. He said, “We caught him. Can you come to Kanit City?”
Aria put down her fork, thought for a moment, then looked at Owen sitting across from her. “Come with me to Kanit City. I’m buying the tickets now.”
She sounded firm. Owen smiled warmly and said, “Okay. We’ll talk about it after dinner.”
Aria nodded. “Sure.”
By the time they got off the train, it was already dark. They grabbed a cab and headed straight to the police station. Upon entering the lobby, the duty officer greeted them immediately. “Hi, Ms. Saxon. Mr. Ludwig and Cathy are in the interrogation room.”
Aria and Owen headed to the room and peeked through the one-way glass to see what was going on inside the interrogation
room.
Cathy was also there. When she saw them come in, she immediately handed them a file. “Here’s the suspect’s information.”
Aria took the file. The man’s name was Mark Sampson, twenty-seven years old, a former graduate student in Kanit University’s computer science department. Three years ago, he was expelled for academic fraud. Deangelo used to be his advisor.
Mark majored in both computer science and chemistry, and pursued further studies in computer science.
Ronald, who was talking to him in the interrogation room, slammed the table. “Mark, why did you kill so many people?”
Mark looked up, half his face marked by nasty scars. He grinned weirdly. “Kill? I’m just clearing out the trash.”
Cathy lowered her voice. “We found a large stash of bomb-making materials at his place, along with a notebook detailing information about the victims.
“He confessed to killing five victims, and the next target was Deangelo. The police were watching closely and caught him immediately.”
Aria asked, “Were Mr. Reed or Mrs. Reed hurt?”
“No,” Cathy said.
Aria stared at Mark’s face. “How did he get those scars?”
Cathy let out a sigh. “It was Isaac. He had his eyes on Mark’s sister and tried to rape her. Mark went to save her, and his face was brutally disfigured.
“Brodie paid to cover it up. Mark’s parents took the money, but the girl couldn’t bear it and took her own life. He’s been planning revenge for a long time, and if Owen hadn’t put Isaac in prison first, he would have died sooner.”
Isaac was highly vigilant after his release, always surrounded by bodyguards wherever he went. Mark had struggled hard to find an opportunity to strike.
Ronald pressed on. “Mark, why did you want to kill Deangelo?”
Mark clenched his fists and sneered. “I wasn’t going to live anyway. I might as well take someone down with me. He didn’t
believe me.”

Aria stared at Mark through the glass and picked up her pen and paper to start drawing.
Ronald continued, “What do you mean?”
