My father waved his hand. "Yvonne, why are you being so neurotic? That sinner got away with killing her mother, so what could happen now? She just resents me for never liking her, and now she's hiding intentionally to make us search for her!"
"Well, Neil, you've done such a great job as a father!"
"She just wants attention. This rebellious kid is beyond anyone's control! Why are you looking at me like that? Fine, I'll call her right now!"
Then he started calling me.
But after three or four attempts, they all turned off'!
"Ann's phone has been turned off for a long time, don't you know? What are you pretending here? She is your own daughter. You're known as the Sherlock Holmes of murder cases, and yet you can't even find your own daughter. If anything happens to her, no one will spare you! You not only caused Yara's death but also the death of your own biological daughter. You are the sinner! A complete sinner!"
Aunt Yvonne's voice choked with tears.
Aunt Yvonne, please don't cry. Let me wipe away your tears.
I wanted to comfort her, but I realized that my ghostly hands couldn't touch her.
My only family in this world who still cares about me, please don't cry for me anymore.
At that moment, someone from the laboratory approached with the test results in hand.
"The DNA results for the murder case from two days ago are out!"
Aunt Yvonne immediately turned around, wanting to saw the report.
It was dimly lit in the room, and she trembled as she brought the repost to the desk.
Dad, soon you will know whether I really wanted to skip school.
The daughter you hated the most is really dead.
But as Dad leaned in to take a closer look, he accidentally spilled coffee onto the paper, causing it stained.
"Neil, what are you doing?"
"It's my fault, I'm just too tired and couldn't hold the cup properly. Can you print another copy of the report?" He looked towards the person from the laboratory.
"My colleagues in the lab are also working overtime. They just took a break, but I'll call them to issue another copy. It might take about half an hour."
"Okay, let me know as soon as the results are out. I will inform the family."
"Okay."
I sighed and aimlessly wandered around, feeling bored.
Yoko arrived at the police station carrying fruits and tonics. My father hadn't been home for several days, so she immediately leaned softly against his shoulder.
