Tangled in His Obsession

Chapter 271

Terrell quickly perked up and went over, “What did you find?”

Seraphina immediately handed him the two files she was holding.

These were the hotel stay records of Keeley and Maddox for the past six months. Maddox had many stays, while Keeley had only five.

One of Keeley’s stays overlapped with Maddox’s.

About a month ago, two days apart, they both stayed at a hotel in neighboring cities.

Terrell carefully examined these two records, “Does this prove anything?”

Seraphina immediately stood up from a pile of files, “We won’t know until we check.”

Quickly she moved to the desk, turned on the computer, entered the date and location, and started to sift through a ton of search results for the information she needed.

This type of information search was a piece of cake for both her and Terrell. Soon, Seraphina found what she was looking for

A month ago, a small business owner in the neighboring city was killed on the spot by a collapsing shed on his daily route home. Terrell immediately searched the distance from the scene to the hotel, only to find out it was just two blocks away.

“If this group is really responsible for creating accidents, then this case might be their work,” Terrell said, “I’ll go to the hotel and investigate right now.”

“What’s the point of going there?” Seraphina said, “How much information can they give us? We can do our own investigation.”

Having said that, she picked up her phone and sent a message to a hacker, asking for all the guest information for Keeley and Maddox at the hotel for a week before and after.

Seeing this, Terrell couldn’t help but be surprised, muttering to himself, “Money really can buy you anything, huh?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Seraphina shot him a glare and handed him another pile of files, “Keep looking, we might find more clues.”

While waiting for the hacker to get the information, the two continued to find clues. Not long after, the information the hacker found was sent to Seraphina’s email.

When the information was printed out, it was another pile of papers and some surveillance video files still waiting to be sent by the hacker. That was going to be another big project.

Seraphina gave the guest information to Terrell while she checked the previous files and waited for the surveillance video to come through.

Before the surveillance video was sent, Terrell tossed a file onto her desk, “Found something.”

Seraphina was taken aback, “What is it?”

She quickly picked up the file and saw a name circled by Terrell: Mervin.

According to his ID, Mervin was a citizen of Sunburst City, born in 1975, and stayed at the hotel for a week, but there was no more information beyond that.

“How are you sure it’s him?” Seraphina couldn’t help but ask.

Terrell placed another file in front of her, a record of calls between rooms. Both Keeley and Maddox had called the room that Mervin was staying in during their stay.

Seraphina couldn’t help but hold her face, rubbed it for a while, and sighed, “I can’t believe I didn’t think of that.”

Terrell looked at her and slowly said, “Why don’t you wash up, rest a bit, and grab a bite to eat? It takes time to dig up all the information on a person. By the time you’ve rested and recovered, we should have all his info.”

Seraphina thought for a moment, suddenly grabbed Terrell, “If digging up information takes time, then we can use this time to do something else.”

Before Terrell could react, she pulled him out of the study.

Downstairs, Conway was about to go upstairs to call for dinner when he saw the two of them running down one after another, somewhat surprised, “Where are you going?”

“Grandpa, we have something to do,” Seraphina said as she ran out the door, her voice trailing off as she disappeared from sight. Karan brought out the food and saw this scene, somewhat surprised, paused before saying, “Sera seems pretty fired up…”

Conway sighed softly, “Maybe having something to do keeps her focused, so that she about the unhappy things.” Seraphina pulled Terrell out the door, heading straight for Mervin’s place.

“Just like that, we’re going to see him?” Terrell was somewhat surprised, “What do you think we can get out of him?”

Seraphina answered, “I don’t need to get anything from him, I just want him to know that I know he exists.”

Terrell had already figured out her style and purpose, hearing her answer, he slowly said, “I have my wife to take care of, don’t put me in danger.”

Seraphina glanced at him, calmly saying, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you get involved. Just focus on digging up Mervin’s personal information.”

The two had no clue about Mervin’s exact location, going there was purely a shot in the dark. But Seraphina was waiting for Mervin’s detailed information anyway, so she didn’t care.

When they arrived at their destination, Terrell continued to learn about Mervin in the car, while Seraphina went to buy some food and drinks at a convenience store.

As she turned to leave after paying for her purchases, she locked eyes with a man who was about to enter.

He was a man in his forties, tall and slightly overweight, looking very strong. His expression changed immediately when he saw Seraphina.

This face was the one on the ID card, this man was Mervin.

At that moment, Seraphina felt like Sandra Smith must be watching over her from heaven.

She tightened her grip on her shopping bag, gave Mervin a slight smile, then pushed open the door and walked past him.

At that moment, Mervin felt like his blood was boiling.

Why was this woman here?

She even smiled at him…

Mervin couldn’t help but look back at Seraphina’s retreating figure, watching as she walked straight to a car, opened the door and got in. But the car stayed where it was, not moving at all.

Mervin clenched his fists and pushed open the door of the convenience store. He grabbed a few items and when he came out, the car was still parked in the same spot.

He quickly returned to his apartment. Looking out from the living room window, he could see the street.

On the street, the car Seraphina had been in earlier hadn’t left.

Mervin watched quietly for a while, but finally, unable to control his anger, he smashed the beer bottle in his hand on the floor.

After a surprising but smooth encounter with Mervin, Seraphina told Terrell to leave first. She planned to stay here for the night and give the guy upstairs a piece of her mind.

By late night, Mervin’s detailed information had been sent to her phone.

As Seraphina was checking out the info, she suddenly heard the sound of someone tapping on the car window.”

Instinctively on alert, she looked towards the window, only to see Leandro standing by the car.
