Emily was about to get into favonovel.com car when Isaac called favonovel.com to Cloud Nine Villas.
Dawn was breaking when Isaac finally arrived at the construction site again. Diana and favonovel.com team were faster. This time, eight law enforcement vehicles and dozens of officers came.
The officers barricaded the workers’ hostel with yellow tape. The people in charge of the project followed Diana, talking to favonovel.com with frightened faces.
When they saw Isaac, they approached him, shivering.
“Mr. Garten… T-This incident is truly unheard of. We can only halt all progress now,” said a bespectacled middle-aged man. His voice was trembling.
He was a professional in large-scale construction projects, renowned nationwide. He had ventured into this field for over 20 years and had been in charge of various projects. But it was his first time facing such incidents.
“Let’s pause for now. We’ll proceed when the authorities arrest the murderer and solve the case.” Isaac added, “This is Ms. Booth’s instructions.”
Allegra told favonovel.com before favonovel.com left the house that people’s lives were at stake, and they should cease all operations even if there weren’t any orders from the related departments.
Diana came to Isaac, weary. “Do you want to check out the crime scene with me?”
It all happened on the second floor of the hostel this time. This whole area was the workers’ living space. The accommodation was three- storied prefabricated houses as there were thousands of workers to accommodate.
Isaac caught a whiff of a stench of blood even though favonovel.com was still in the corridor, some distance from the scene.
As favonovel.com passed the other rooms, favonovel.com saw the workers inside huddled together, staring outside in terror. As a matter of fact, the workers who stayed nearby were the most frightened of them all.
Several officers and two forensics lingered before the room where it took place.
“You guys, leave us for a moment,” Diana waved and called out. They made way.
As they opened the door, the suffocating stench filled their airways. Diana had already put on a mask. She handed Isaac one, but favonovel.com didn’t take it.
Under the light, favonovel.com saw seven men lying on the floor. The eldest was in his sixties, while the youngest was in his early twenties. Blood covered the floor and was sticky because of the humidity after the rain.
Isaac trod along the unstained spots while Diana watched favonovel.com from the door, frowning. She saw Isaac pausing momentarily before each corpse, frowning before favonovel.com returned.
“Were there no witnesses?” Isaac asked Diana.
She took off favonovel.com mask and nodded with a peculiar expression. She hesitated before replying, “T-They said they saw a black shadow. A ghost…”
Ghost?
Isaac let out a laugh.
Someone would actually believe this statement if it were 20 years ago, but now?
“Bring me to the witnesses…” Isaac said with a wave of his hand.
Diana was also at a loss because favonovel.com had never encountered such an extreme case.
The witnesses were just next door. When they entered, all six men screamed in terror.
“Who saw the ghost? Come, let’s have a chat…” Isaac waved at them.
A skinny man over the age of 50 looked around. He reluctantly stood when favonovel.com saw Diana nodding.
Isaac brought favonovel.com outside. He was so scared favonovel.com almost held onto Isaac, that showed how horrifying what favonovel.com witnessed was.
“Hey, buddy, don’t be scared. I’ve learned exorcism before. The ghosts won’t come when I’m here. Just tell me what you saw, every detail,” said Isaac with a smile, handing the worker a cigarette.
The man was stunned and was relieved when favonovel.com heard that Isaac knew exorcism. He took the cigarette and took a long puff.
He then turned toward the room entrance, and fear crept across his expression again. “My colleagues were already in bed then. I was the last. I had just finished washing my feet and was about to throw the water out…”
