Chapter 111 - 111: I Won’t Leave Any Evidence

Finally, the police officer pulled him away and asked him to rest in the room. Afraid of him messing around, the officer specially asked someone to keep an eye on him.

Sophia suggested that she could stand by on the balcony of Room 303. She could do a little help in case of an accident. Freddy thought for a long time, finally agreed, but asked her to wait for orders and not to act without authorization. She couldn't do anything unless she had to.

After the discussion, Freddy especially found a bulletproof vest for Linda to wear so that she would be much safer. It was late autumn, and the bulletproof vest inside was not obvious.

The technician also gave Linda a tiny bug to ensure her words could be heard.

A couple of officers and Sophia got the receivers. Everyone got in the car. They went to the Garden Community and split up to act.

Sophia went upstairs and knocked at the door of room 303. She wanted to go by herself, but Albert insisted on following her. Time was urgent. She had no time to persuade him, so she just let him be.

The stairs to room 303 and room 302 were different, so one was not within the scope monitored by Scales. Sophia didn't have to worry about being seen by him. But from the balcony of room 303, one could jump into room 302.

The owner of the house opened the door, who was a young girl. The police had communicated with her before, and she agreed.

The girl was frightened by this incident. After all, she had only seen kidnapping on TV. It was appalling that the accident took place next door to her.

Sophia went to the balcony and prepared to jump to the opposite at any time. She listened attentively to the receiver.

"I… I know." Linda's voice was a little dithered. Apparently, she was scared, "If something happens when I get in, I'll… open the door and run downstairs, right?"

"That's right." Freddy's voice came from one side. "If he has any move, you can block with your body. Your bulletproof vest can block ordinary knives. Be careful not to let him hurt your head. Then you won't get hurt."

"Yeah… I see. I… I'll go."

Footsteps rang, and after a while, the receiver rang the doorbell.

Soon, there was a slight sound of the door lock turning.

Then came Linda's voice, "Scales..."

As soon as the door of room 302 opened, Scales pulled Linda into the room. It was so quick that the door was closed before the two plainclothes officers in room 301 had time to open the door.

They had to keep watching to wait for the next chance.

Linda was very nervous when she entered the room. She thought her mission was over as soon as the door opened. In the face of Scales, she felt her heart was about to jump out.

She smelled a strong smell of gasoline. It was wet and slippery under her feet. Apparently, there was gasoline everywhere.

"What are you doing here?" There was a hint of doubt in Scales' eyes. "I've asked you to wait to get the money, didn't I?"

Linda touched her chest and stammered, "I... It's the first time, and I'm too nervous. Walking on the street… I was afraid when I saw the police..."

Scales smiled, "You're really useless. Don't worry. I won't leave any evidence. No matter how much they suspect me in the future, they will find no proof. When I get the money, I'll get rid of the boy's body. Then, no one can put it on me."

He got excited. "When Adam inherits the property, I will sell the patents and his house, and then I… we can move to Australia. In this way, even if they solve the case in the future, they can't catch us. Your son's studies are bad, right? With the money, he can go to a good university in Australia. That's what kids of rich people do now."

Linda was too frightened to look up at him. She was just wondering how to find a chance to open the door and let the plainclothes officers in.

"What's the matter?" Scales turned to look at Linda, "You're a weird little today."

Linda grudgingly smiled. "I'm just nervous… Why don't we let that kid go? He is too timid to tell. Let's just pretend it never happened."

There was a chill in Scales' eyes. "I tried so hard to tie him up. Let him go? How can I live without money in the future? Do you think I will continue to be poor? I'll get the money anyway. Anyone dares stop me, I'll kill him or her."

As he said, he pointed to his feet. "You smelt it when you came in, did you? I spilled gasoline on the floor. If it doesn't work out, I'll burn everything down here. Let's die together. Without money, there is no fun to live."

Linda was horrified. As soon as she heard it, she felt bad. Sure enough, the man was a desperado.

Her psychological quality was ordinary, and when she panicked, the look on her face changed.

Scales pointed to several monitors in front of him. "You don't have to be so scared. I can see what's going on outside. It won't go wrong. I don't know whether the boy's classmate withdrew the money or not. I had to contact her. Now, you find a place, change another card and call her indirectly. Thus, even if she calls the police, we'll not be found."

"Yeah." Said Linda.

She was trying to find an excuse to open the door so that she could give the plainclothes officers opposite a chance to come in.

She grasped the doorknob and pushed the door open in one hand, and turned the lock gently in the other.

As long as she turned the reverse lock, Scales had to turn to lock the door after she left. With that time, there would be enough time for the plainclothes officers in the opposite to rush in.

Just then, Scales reached out and grabbed her hand.

"What are you doing?" Scales stared at her hand. "You've been a bit weird ever since you came in. Was something wrong?"

He grabbed Linda, pulled her into his arms, and searched her body. Linda struggled to resist but to no avail.

"What are you wearing?" Scales tore off her coat and exposed the bulletproof vest inside. "Police bulletproof vest?"

He roughly ripped off Linda's bulletproof vest and fumbled for a while, and found a bug from her pocket.

"Bulletproof vest, and the bug." Scales raged, "I risked my life to get money for you. And you called the police to hurt me. You bitch!"

He slammed the bug to the ground and crushed it with his foot.
