Revenge After Death

Chapter 336

It turned out that both of the deceased were related to missing persons cases.

The man who had jumped off the building was related to the missing 18–year–old girl and the murdered victims.

“No. 37 Bridgeway Route…” I murmured softly to myself, feeling dizzy all of a sudden.

No. 37 Bridgeway Route was one of the last standing slums in Huma.

It was inhabited by either migrant workers from out of town or homeless nomads with no money. These people were considered the rock bottom of society.

The man who had jumped off the building was called George Zucker. He was a primary school teacher. His wife was a nurse at the county hospital.

They were a diligent and hardworking couple. They weren’t wealthy, but they lived a comfortable and happy life.

Their daughter was born with Asperger’s syndrome, yet they had never complained. The couple had even actively encouraged and nurtured her talents and strengths to help her integrate into society better. She shone in her areas of expertise.

They weren’t at fault for doing that.

It wasn’t their fault that their daughter was so outstanding. Perhaps she had become so outstanding that she had caught someone’s unwanted attention.
