Chapter 118: Chapter 118

It was past eight in the evening. Avery walked out of the gate of the neighborhood and immediately saw Alexander’s car. Although the car looked ordinary, the body of the car was at least one size larger than the average SUV. Moreover, the workmanship was very exquisite, and the lines were smooth. The faint light shone on the car, and its body flowed with a subtle luster, giving it an extremely textured and artistic appearance.

Many people who meet ’Miracle’ for the first time may be disappointed by its ordinary appearance, but ’Miracle’s’ paramount goal is safety. To be more precise, it is to pursue the possibility of survival no matter what dangers one encounters. Rich people who would spend a lot of money to buy ’Miracle’ also pursued absolute safety. In that case, it was not appropriate for the car’s appearance to be too ostentatious or gorgeous, in case the enemy could recognize it at a glance. For example, Avery didn’t want to be disturbed, so her car didn’t look very flashy.

Alexander obviously saw her too. He opened the driver’s door and stepped out of the car. Avery walked over and handed him a food box with a smile. "This is my mother’s egg tart. It’s still hot. Try it."

At this moment, Alexander, who was a little dizzy from hunger, felt that Avery was simply an angel. He said politely, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Carter. I must accept it." He took the food box, opened the lid in a refined manner, and wiped his hands with a wet towel. Then, he picked up an egg tart and resisted the desire to swallow it in one gulp. Instead, he tasted it elegantly, one bite at a time.

"Your mother’s cooking is indeed very good. It’s slightly sweet but not greasy. It’s crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The milky fragrance is rich, and there’s no fishy smell. It’s really delicious!"

Avery said, "Then eat more while it’s hot. There are four of them in total."

While Alexander was eating the egg tart, Avery turned on the car lights and began to study it excitedly. "Not bad! As expected of ’Miracle 3.0’. It feels like I’m sitting on clouds. The steering wheel feels good. Although it might be a little bigger for a female driver, it’s very smooth and precise..."

Alexander smiled. "I’m glad that you like it."

This car was given to Dr. Annie, and Avery accepted it so naturally. It was obvious that she was indeed Dr. Annie.

"Yes, I like it," Avery said seriously. "When you build another 3.0, I want to buy a few for my family."

Alexander’s eyes flickered slightly. "Alright, I’ll definitely reserve a few for you."

A ’Miracle 3.0’ car was worth more than 200 million dollars in the market. She was indeed not simple, as she wanted to buy a few.

Avery touched the driver’s seat and started the car. "Do you have anything you want to eat for supper?"

Alexander said politely, "As long as it’s your treat, it will definitely be delicious. It’s up to you."

Avery blushed for a moment. "There’s a good sweet and sour shop nearby. They sell slightly sour snacks and drinks. It’s most suitable for people who have just eaten and are afraid of getting fat to eat supper."

Alexander was speechless. ’I don’t want to eat sour food now. I only want meat.’ But he answered with a smile, "Just what I wanted."

Ten minutes later, the two of them sat in a window seat in a sweet and sour shop. Avery poured yogurt for Alexander. "This restaurant is most famous for its yogurt. It has a lot of flavors and low sugar content. It uses fresh milk. The taste is very strong and fresh."

Alexander felt even hungrier. But he picked up the yogurt, took two sips, and smiled. "It tastes good."

Avery drank the yogurt excitedly and ate the sour fruit. "The food at home is too delicious. I ate too much. This is good for digestion."

Alexander picked up the sour pear. "Yes, it’s indeed appetizing."

Avery was very happy. She picked up carrot sticks, sour mango, sour cucumber, sour pineapple, and so on for him. "Eat more."

After she’d tasted all the pickled fruit she’d ordered, she finally got down to business. "Have you caught all three murderers? Do they have a motive for confessing to their crimes?"

Alexander put down his fork. "We caught all three this afternoon. If they hadn’t confessed themselves, I wouldn’t have thought their motives were so ridiculous."

Avery was naturally curious about this. "Can you tell me?"

Alexander said, "Simply put, ’Mindless Thrill’ is my sister’s perverted anti-fan. The other two are Mavis’s perverted fans."

Avery let out a low "Ah." She was also very surprised by such a motive for killing.

Alexander continued, "’Mindless Thrill’ is over 40 years old. He’s a technical geek, doesn’t have a wife or children. His brother-in-law is from the Moran family and works as HR at the headquarters of the Moran Group. Under his brother-in-law’s guidance, he entered the chemical plant under the Moran Group as a senior engineer.

"He once met my sister at the Moran family’s private banquet. He fell in love with her at first sight and even tried to woo her. However, my sister would never give him a chance.

"He got a transfer to the Moran Group as an executive under his brother-in-law’s arrangements, but my sister didn’t approve it.

"He pleaded with my sister in private. Not only did my sister forget him, but she also got the bodyguards to chase him away. From then on, he held a grudge against my sister and developed a perverted mentality of destroying her if he couldn’t have her.

"The other two culprits are both Mavis’s fans, one female and one male. They had been stalking Mavis for a long time and even tried to sneak into his car and residence."

"Male fan?" Avery was speechless. She didn’t understand the world of crazy fans. It felt really complicated.

Alexander said, "The two of them were originally not related, but after Mavis passed away, they often posted comments online to mourn him and curse my sister. From then on, they got to know each other and became netizens.

"The two of them have one thing in common with ’Mindless Thrill’: they like to play ’Glory of the Dead’. The two often engaged in battles in the game with fans of other singers, openly cursing other artists and my sister, which caught the attention of ’Mindless Thrill’.

"’Mindless Thrill’ found them. The three of them hit it off immediately. Coupled with the fact that their lives were not smooth, their minds became more and more twisted. In the end, they evolved into joining forces to kill.

"The male fan was a truck driver. He worked for the same company as the driver who died in the car accident. Since the two of them weren’t in the same department and didn’t usually interact, I didn’t notice him when I investigated the driver.

"The female fan was originally a technician from a communications company. In order to get close to my sister, she specially switched to work at the Internet Technology Center at the Moran Group’s headquarters. This gave her a chance to track my sister’s whereabouts.

"The drones were ordered by ’Mindless Thrill’, but on the night of the murder, the female fan was controlling them so that she could see how my sister died with her own eyes.

"Because one of the reasons why my sister broke up with Mavis and accepted the marriage was because of me, they even hated me.

"After the incident, the female fan sent the video of the car accident to the other two. The three of them stopped contacting each other after that. It wasn’t until my sister appeared in public again that they contacted each other in the game again.

"And Lockwood Holmes’s novel made them feel a great crisis. They started to take action and eventually fell into a trap."

"Alas..." Avery rested her chin on her hands and let out a long sigh. "I thought that there was a deep hatred or a huge conflict between the murderer and your sister. I didn’t expect them to kill for such a reason. It seems that their brains are indeed of interest."

After saying that, she asked curiously, "How do you plan to deal with them?"

Five years ago, Alexander did not publicize the car accident and explosion. He even secretly cleaned up the scene. Now, he could not publicize it either. However, he could not let the three murderers off either. As for killing the three murderers... he probably wouldn’t do that.
