His gaze then shifted,nding on Yvonne.
"Ms. Jones, you really do love meddling in other people''s business. Have you already forgotten how this greedy couple tried to frame you?"
Yvonne stood on the top step, looking down at him with a clear, cold gaze.
She didn''t answer his question. Instead, she said suddenly, "Was Flora''s death connected to you?"
The question was so abrupt that Oscar was caughtpletely off guard. His expression changed instantly, and for a long moment, he was speechless.
Seeing his reaction, Yvonne knew she had guessed correctly.
The moment she saw Hans'' body, her mind had shed back to how Flora looked after her death. The simrities were too striking, and both deaths were linked to the Rogers family, which had already made Yvonne suspicious.
Today was just a test, a shot in the dark, but Oscar''s reaction gave him away. It seemed that no matter how powerful, a guilty conscience always leaves a crack.
"All of Flora''s and Hans'' organs were gone. That was to cover your tracks, wasn''t it? To make it impossible for the police to know which organ you really wanted, so they couldn''t follow the trail back to the recipient," Yvonne continued, her voice steady.
Oscar was the carefully groomed heir to the Rogers family. After a brief moment of shock, he quickly regained his usual calmposure.
"You have quite an imagination, Ms. Jones,” he sneered. "But words can get you into trouble. I''d advise you to watch your mouth.”
Yvonne ignored his threat. Her tone remained even as she went on, "Your wife was pregnant with your child when she died. I''m truly curious. Who is this person who needed an organ transnt? Who is so important to you, or to your family, that they are worth more than your own wife and child?"
"Yvonne, shut your mouth, or I''ll sue you for defamation!" Oscar suddenly roared, his voice rising to a near shout.
Clearly, Yvonne''s words had struck a nerve.
Hiswyer stepped in immediately. "Ms. Jones, that''s enough. Your inappropriate remarks could have legal consequences."
Yvonne had said what she needed to say. She fell silent, and together with Sandra, she helped Hans'' parents get home.
On the way back from their
apartment, Yvonne suddenly said to Sandra, "If we check all the organ transnt surgeries that happened during that period and investigate them one by one, we should be able to find out who received his organs."
After Flora was murdered, the Moore family had conducted a simrrge-scale search but hade up empty.
Hans
have different. He was a child
t the recipient would at
That
o be a child, which narrowed
the search considerably.
Sandra thought for a moment, then nodded. "I''ll ask some friends in the medical system to look into it."
Sandra drove Yvonne back to her apartment downtown.
Yvonne felt utterly exhausted when she got home. She copsed onto the sofa with no desire to move.
Closing her eyes, she could see Hans'' small face and his eyes. She saw Flora''s smiling eyes, and th? gentle way she looked when sheughed.
As a police officer, Yvonne had always believed in justice.
She believed that dawn would eventuallye, that justice would eventually prevail.
But the darkness before the dawn was so incredibly hard to endure.
Sandra called upon several friends in the medical field. After rounds of screening, they quickly zeroed in on a target.
She worked with surprising efficiency, getting results in just a few days.
It wasn''t that Sandra had immense power, but that the information was surprisingly easy to find.
