"Teresa, what are you talking about?"
Kieran was confused, looking at Teresa with a puzzled expression.
The whole process didn't pause at all, neither did she show any signs of surprise.
When Kieran noticed something fishy about Donna, he already knew she would cause trouble for him. Whether it was out of revenge or to slow him down after the incident, she would do it.
Who else would be more suitable than Teresa?
First of all, Teresa wasn't a mystical individual, she wouldn't cause real trouble for Kieran.
Secondly, Teresa had the identity of the chief officer, she could utilize the power of a common man and cause Kieran a headache.
Lastly and most importantly, Teresa and Kieran had a rather intimate relationship.
No matter whether the intimate relationship was real or fake, in Teresa's eyes, Kieran must have his own plans for his actions and Teresa wanted to destroy his plans.
So, Kieran had expected the scene before his eyes.
Especially when he had a certain level of understanding of Teresa.
Teresa wasn't just hot-tempered, she knew the importance of ambushing. She was a person with a heart of justice and rich experience, knowing how to reap her rewards.
Kieran knew Teresa.
Teresa knew Kieran too.
At least, that was what Teresa thought.
She frowned slightly when she saw the genuine confusion on Kieran's face.
"Someone left me a message, saying you are the new boss of Winchester House!"
Teresa said.
"Someone left you a message?
Who? "
Kieran showed a sense of shock and seriousness.
"What?"
Teresa asked out of instinct when she saw Kieran's expression.
"While investigating the Winchester House explosion case, I've been thinking about a question. Why would I go to Winchester House?
Based on the habits I've shown in the past few days and the net worth you've found out, it's impossible for me to go to that cheap family hotel.
Besides, my observation, skills, and gun skills are not something a common man could compare to. "
Kieran replied, the answer he had prepared beforehand.
"You are saying …"
Teresa's brows were completely locked together.
A guess appeared in her heart.
"I must have found something wrong, that's why I went there! It's more likely that … I was lured there! "
Kieran said.
"Someone wants to kill you?!"
Teresa voiced out her guess.
"It can't be a simple murder. Five people died in Winchester House and we already know the identity of four of them. Mayor candidate Symede Augen, this important person's driver and bodyguard Tonita, university professor Harodet and Barney the Jackal's man, Rudle. Then … who will be the last body?"
"Or, let me put it another way. The other four victims all went there with their own purposes. The John Doe is no exception. Let's call him that for now!"
"Back to my previous hypothesis, I was lured to Winchester House by someone and according to the trajectory of my life, I shouldn't have any interaction with the other four. So, the John Doe's existence is to lure me there! Even the John Doe's existence might produce some kind of bad influence on me because only then would that mysterious person have the confidence to kill me! "
"Judging from this aspect, the John Doe should be a very important person to me … Although I've forgotten about him now."
Kieran smiled bitterly when he said that.
"I'm sorry."
Teresa was hot-tempered but not unreasonable. After listening to Kieran's analysis, Teresa's face showed a sense of apology.
But soon enough, her expression turned serious.
"In order to kill you alone, not only did he set it up beforehand, he even killed everyone at the scene, including the person who is extremely important to you … The person seemed to be very confident in killing you but wouldn't it be too much of a hassle? Choosing a deserted outskirts or an abandoned factory would be more suitable. Don't forget, there is a big shot like Symede Augen in the area! "
Teresa muttered softly.
"That's why I said this isn't a simple murder case!"
"Aside from the bragging aspect, any criminal would hope that the case wouldn't be affected and end quickly but this mysterious person did the exact opposite and didn't show any signs of bragging. It doesn't make sense at all. Therefore, there's only one possibility left. The person wanted someone to know about this murder case!"
"Including killing me, it's all the means that the person used to achieve his goal!"
"But I'm not dead yet, the person must have a flaw in one of his plans and he needs to fix it. Can you tell me who the person is?"
Kieran didn't blindly state the hypothesis of "faking his death to escape".
In fact, as a "victim", being able to come up with such a conclusion was more than enough.
Any more would only arouse unnecessary suspicion.
Humans were always suspicious.
They were also conceited.
They would believe the rumors and slanders of others but not the real truth. They would only choose to believe what they wanted to believe.
What Kieran needed was to lure out more rumors and slanders, messing up the original "truth"!
Based on what he knew, Kieran had quite the confidence that the nameless person should have some similarities with him, the arbiter.
It might even be the decisive evidence!
For example, the heart that was replaced!
Only then could the person escape the pursuit of the executioner organization.
"He" was dead and all troubles would be over.
If the real Kieran didn't appear, the plan would have quite a high chance of succeeding. As an arbiter, he wouldn't have any interest in the heart that clamped "him" down.
But he appeared.
He was different!
He was extremely concerned about the heart that was replaced.
However, he couldn't act recklessly unless he wanted to expose himself to the eyes of the executioner.
Kieran had never doubted the abilities of the law enforcers.
Although as an arbitrator, he would definitely leave behind all sorts of confusing clues in order to successfully escape, allowing the law enforcers to trace him to John Doe and think that John Doe was him, it was not an easy process.
Those 'enforcers' would definitely verify it carefully.
Among them, those who approached the Nameless Tribe for no reason were naturally the most important ones to be investigated.
Therefore, Kieran needed an excuse.
In order to make this excuse sound dignified and dignified, an excuse that was not afraid of being verified.
Kieran had to lie to the chief officer and purposely mislead the direction of her investigation.
Kieran apologized in his heart when he saw Teresa was in deep thought.
"Donna!"
"I investigated and found out that the message came from Donna's Bar. When I wanted to go to Donna's Bar, there was an explosion … The only thing that came to my mind was silence. Then, I lost my mind! So, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted someone who helped me. "
Teresa apologized again.
"It's fine, it's just that that bastard is too cunning!"
Teresa apologized again and it added a sense of guilt to Kieran's heart.
However, when he thought about the consequences of failing his main mission, Kieran suppressed the guilt and said with a hesitant face.
"Teresa, can I have a look at that John Doe?"
"Although I don't remember him, I think I should bid farewell to him."
Teresa thought for a while when she saw Kieran's hesitant face.
In the end, she nodded.
