Chapter 238: Was He the Biological Brother?
He was alright with the police station. He had many acquaintances there.
“Alright, you can go to the police station tomorrow to take a look. If there’s any progress, report to me immediately. Don’t act alone, understand?”
Lauren Torres nodded. She knew her eldest brother cared about her, so she never acted rashly.
“Don’t worry, Eldest Brother. I’ll report to you like what I did previously.”
The following day, when Ben Carson and Lauren Torres were at the entrance of the police station, Ben Carson was still in a trance.
In the past, he had been busy running around in between the Torres Group and the Torres mansion. However, this year, he had been to the police station and the amusement park many times. It was really a wonderful experience.
Franklin Torres must have informed the police beforehand. As soon as the two of them walked in, the police officer who had brought them to check the surveillance cameras greeted them with familiarity and brought them directly to the recording studio.
As the police officer pulled up the surveillance footage from that morning, he was mumbling. “It’s so weird. It’s really so weird. I feel like I’ve seen a ghost.”
“Huh? What did you say, Officer?” Ben Carson asked.
The police officer pointed at the screen. “You’ll know when you see it yourself.”
The surveillance footage showed that it was past five o’clock in the morning. The corridor of the girls’ dormitory was still empty, and the students were still asleep.
Lauren Torres looked at the footage with rapt attention. Suddenly, a row of clothes hanging on the corridor moved, as if someone had stirred up a gust of wind when passing by.
Then, a bloody handprint appeared on the wall near the stairs.
“Huh? What’s going on?”
Lauren Torres was a person with the heavenly eye, but she did not see anything.
Therefore, the police replayed the scene two or three times, but the situation was still the same. Lauren Torres narrowed her eyes and looked carefully, but she did not find anything out of the ordinary.
The police then put down the mouse.
“Look, isn’t it very weird?”
What exactly was going on?
Lauren Torres bit her lip. She could be sure that it was a ghost causing trouble, but what method did it use?
So, she asked the police officers to let her go to the girls’ dormitory to take a look. Of course, the police officers agreed. With Lauren Torres, the investigation would be much easier.
However, Lauren Torres still had to go through the final hurdle, which was reporting to Franklin Torres.
“There was nothing on the surveillance footage?”
Lauren Torres shook her head and realized Franklin Torres could not see her. “No, I didn’t see anything on the surveillance footage, so I have to go on a field trip.”
“Okay…”
Franklin Torres buried his head in a pile of documents and pinched the space in between his eyebrows. Although he knew that it would not be of much help if they followed Lauren Torres over, he still felt more comfortable doing so.
However, he had an important shareholder meeting in five minutes.
“Lauren, wait for a while. I’ll call you later.”
Lauren Torres nodded and obediently waited in the police office with Ben Carson.
The police seemed to have received Franklin Torres’s instructions and prepared a lot of snacks and drinks for Lauren Torres.
Speaking of Lauren Torres, she was now a minor celebrity in the entire police station.
The last time she helped the police solve the missing child case, many police officers were promoted due to their meritorious service in solving the case.
Originally, the news about Lauren Torres was widely publicized. However, Franklin Torres did not want Lauren Torres to receive too much attention. So he suppressed all the news about Lauren Torres. As result, everyone gave all the credits to this police station and sent them many award banners.
Now that Lauren Torres was finally here, the police were trying to express their gratitude.
While Lauren Torres was happily eating the snacks under the protection of a group of police officers, Franklin Torres was finding time to call up Quinn Torres.
“Where are you?”
“Brother, I’m viewing a house right now. I found a very nice house. And this place is not bad…”
“Now is not the time to talk about this. Lauren has a mission and is going to Thomas Johnson High School. Do you have time to accompany her? I have a meeting right now and I can’t leave.”
“I can’t. I’m in the south of the city. It’ll take me more than two hours to get there.”
“What can we do now?”
“That’s easy. You can look for Bryce. He doesn’t have to go to class today, and he’s much more familiar with Thomas Johnson High School. I’ve even forgotten where the teaching building of the third year of high school is located.” Bryce Torres said
Franklin thought about it and decided that this was a good idea.
First of all, Bryce Torres was more familiar with Thomas Johnson High School. It would be of great help. Secondly, weren’t they finding opportunities for Bryce Torres and Lauren Torres to get along with each other? This was also a great opportunity.
“Sure, that’s a good idea.”
“Oh yes, Brother, this house…”
Before Quinn Torres finished speaking, Franklin Torres had already hung up the phone. Quinn Torres could only hear the beeping of the phone from th other end. He felt that he really wasn’t Franklin Torres’s biological brother. How could he not care about him!
