Chapter 372 - 372: Indirect Confession

Meanwhile, Alfonso Ramirez was currently having a secret meeting with Edson Tyler and Samuel Sy at the Sky Hotel. They were inside the office of Samuel Sy.

This was the first time the three of them gathered once again after their gang disbanded 18 years ago.

Unknown to the three men, their conversation was being recorded and listened to by Officer Kim and his team. Thanks to the spying device they planted on the two of them!

Samuel: "My old friend, we didn't expect to invite us and initiate this meeting first. We heard that you are not staying here at City Z. What brings you here, now?"

Alfonso: "I believe you already heard the news about what happened to Roland. Three of our friends are now dead and two of them are in jail. Are you not afraid that you might be the next?"

Everyone fell silent for a few moments. Samuel and Edson felt that this matter was really alarming.

Edson: "What do you know about this? Can you enlighten us? We were busy managing our businesses, we didn't notice that this matter was related to us.

Alfonso: "The original Catseye who died two years ago and the one who appeared recently, both of them are targeting the former members of Los Molasses Gang."

Samuel: "But why?"

Alfonso: "I talked to Carlo and Diego last week. They said it's related to the incident 18 years ago."

There was a moment of silence once again. Meanwhile, Officer Kim and his team felt intrigued by the discussion the three men were having.

They just found out that they knew the reason why Catseye was targeting them. Officer Kim wondered what happened 18 years ago. He wished that the three men would elaborate it. They had just mentioned the incident 18 years ago but they didn't mention any details about it.

Officer Kim already informed Erick that Edson and Tyler were currently meeting a person named Alfonso. They heard that when the three men greeted each other.

After a while, they heard their voices once again.

Edson: "So, what are we going to do now? Should we hire skilled bodyguards for our protection?"

Alfonso: "Yeah, you should do that if you still want to live. We didn't know who this Catseye truly was. I suspect that there was a traitor who was trying to frighten us by bringing up the past."

Samuel: "A traitor, among us? We are brothers! We are loyal to each other. How can someone betray everyone?"

Alfonso: "I am not talking about our brothers. I am referring to an outsider who was also aware of what happened 18 years ago."

Edson: "Who is that person?"

Alfonso: "Snake! The person who helped us cover up the crime. He's getting on my nerves. I think he might be responsible for this!"

Samuel: "Don't jump into conclusion, Alfonso. You don't have any proof. Besides, if he will bring up the past then he will also be implicated. I think he is a smart person. If I am in his position, then I will not do this just because there's an on-going conflict between the two of you."

Edson: "I agree with Samuel."

Alfonso: "I understand. But I don't trust him. You know he's good at backstabbing and deceiving people. That's why he is called Snake. Aside from us, he's the one who knew what happened 18 years ago. Remember, there were no witnesses. We killed them all."

Samuel: "That's true. But did you hear that the daughter went missing? Her body was not found in the crime scene."

Edson: "Do you think there's a high possibility that she is the one doing this revenge?"

Alfonso: "Oh common… she was just a kid. Even if she survived, did you think she would still be able to live normally after witnessing those unpleasant scenes? I bet she would go crazy and insane. That traumatic event was hard for a kid like her to handle."

Officer Kim and his team were rendered speechless. This appeared to be an indirect confession of their crime. They killed someone. No, they sounded like they killed everyone, not leaving any witnesses alive.

It was a shocking revelation to them. Erick gave Officer Kim a brief overview of this case. He shared with him the speculation of why Erick thought that Samuel and Edson would be the next target of this new Catseye. 

Erick mentioned about Catseye's revenge for the death of her family. Was the missing kid whom the three men were talking about really Catseye? Were they referring to Elle?

If that was the case, then Officer Kim could now understand how Catseye ended up being so vicious and ruthless assassin. It must be related to her past. She sought vengeance and she put justice in her own hands by killing people most especially the murderers of her family.

Officer Kim continued listening to their conversation when Erick arrived at their location. He immediately entered the service van.

"Chief Lee, you are here!" 

Erick just nodded at them. "What's the status?"

"They are still talking inside Samuel Sy's office. They are talking about Catseye and the incident 18 years ago." Officer Kim promptly replied to him.

"Are you sure that the person inside is Alfonso?" Erick asked him.

"Yes, it's positive. It was him. Edson and Samuel are calling him by his name Alfonso. I recorded it. Listen to their previous conversation later. Come and listen to their current conversation now." Officer Kim said, giving Erick extra headphones.

Erick sat down beside Officer Kim and put on the headphones. Then he heard Alfonso's voice.

Alfonso: "Don't worry, my friends, I already assigned two experts to watch over you. But I still advise you to hire skilled bodyguards because I also gave those two experts a special mission. They couldn't watch you twenty-four seven."

Edson: "Alright! We understand. I'll do that. I will contact the famous Security Agency in our country."

Samuel: "So are we done here? Where are you going now?"

Alfonso: "I have to go back to my precious facility. My lifeline depends on it. Just a simple reminder, don't ever mention to anyone the incident 18 years ago. Is that clear?"

Samuel: "Of course."

Edson: "We already buried it in the past."

The three men erupted into a peal of laughter. Little did they know that they just spilled some pieces of information to the police authorities indirectly.

Truly, fish is caught by its mouth.
