Lee looked at Trevor’s face, and he was relieved when Trevor looked calm. He even slightly raised a corner of his lips. As expected, the younger generation was better than him! He was worried that Julian and Annalise would get into big trouble in the first place. He was even planning how to save them and how to help them design a speech. Unexpectedly, they had designed one seamless explanation.
He believed that if nothing went wrong, he would open Nancy’s ice casket and there would be a corresponding wound on Nancy’s leg. Thinking of this, he looked at Trevor more admiringly. This young man was neither overbearing nor servile. He was calm, fearless and careful, which was really great in his eyes. Knowing that Trevor was protecting Annalise, Lee felt relieved. “Do you have anything else to add?” a policeman asked the three witnesses. The three witnesses shook their heads. What could they add? They were proved to be kidnappers and cooperative helpers.
What was more, they had left before Trevor, so they had no idea what happened later. The three witnesses didn’t have anything to say, so they returned to Xander residence. A policeman took the blood sample to have a test, and soon called to inform the result. The result was exactly the same as the DNA of Nancy. It was indeed Nancy’s blood. Now it was time to open the coffin to check Nancy’s wound. The ice casket was opened, and a gust of cold air blew over. Seeing Nancy’s pale face due to the cold, Lily held the coffin and burst into tears, out of breath. “Nancy, Nancy, my dear daughter, wake up. Open your eyes. Take the person who killed you with you! Get up and point out the murderer to the police. Nancy, get up!” The police didn’t pull Nancy out of the coffin, but bent down to check the wound on Nancy’s leg.
There was indeed a wound on her ankle. The wound was not deep, but it was long. According to Trevor’s confession, she was tripped over by a steel bar. One of the policemen checked the injury and the other one recorded it. Seeing that the situation was in line with what Trevor had said, Lily knew that Trevor was about to be acquitted. She was unhappy and said, “Sir, a person died. You can’t be rash or careless. You must carefully investigate it. You can’t let go of any details. My daughter, Nancy, is a martial artist. She couldn’t be killed because she just stumbled over the steel bar. It’s him!” She pointed at Trevor and said fiercely, “He killed my daughter, and then used the steel bar to cut my daughter’s leg, so as to create the illusion that my daughter was tripped over by the steel bar.” Now the situation was getting more and more disadvantageous to her. Her people hadn’t found new evidence to prove that Nancy was killed by them.
Although the case hadn’t been thoroughly investigated, the clue was clear. The fact that Nancy kidnapped Old Mr. Parks was confirmed not only by Trevor and Julian, but also by several so-called witnesses. In addition, the photos provided by Julian also proved this point. Besides, a message Annalise received from the kidnapper also confirmed this point. In other words, Annalise, Julian and Trevor were the victims. If what Trevor said was true, he kidnapped Nancy just to get Old Mr. Parks out of trouble. After Old Mr. Parks left, he was about to leave too. It was Nancy who took the initiative to fight with him. In this case, even if Nancy didn’t kill herself by accident, but Trevor did, Trevor would be innocent. Moreover, Trevor also said that Nancy was wearing a mask at that time, so he didn’t know Nancy’s identity at all. Nancy was good at fighting, so he only thought that she was a well-trained kidnapper as he met her.
In such a situation, it was really difficult to know what to do if there was a fight. According to the law of Chanaea, a person could really defend himself infinitely during the process of being kidnapped. “I hope the police can find out the truth as soon as possible and get justice for my daughter,” Lily said through gritted teeth. She would rather do it herself than count on them. After the police left, Trevor left without looking at Lily. Lily stared at the back of Trevor with her angry eyes. After Trevor left, he called Julian, “Julian, I’m leaving. Protect Annalise well and don’t stay too long in the Xander residence.” He had seen Lily’s vicious eyes several times. He guessed that Nancy also got that from her mother, Lily.
