Upon hearing the verdict, Zoe Sawyer pumped her fist in excitement. 'What a satisfying outcome!'
It was no surprise that Mr. and Mrs. Morrison couldn't bear to stay, either.
After all, too many people had seen Zhang and his girlfriend being taken away. Anyone who followed the police bulletins afterward would surely find out what had happened.
"Zhang's parents had already sold that apartment to someone else before the incident. He and his girlfriend were just renting."
"After the incident, the new owner rushed back immediately to deal with the aftermath. He even sent some fruit and snacks to the two children and the police department," Heath Hale said, reading from the file.
If we hadn't stopped it in time, a murder would have occurred, and the apartment would have been stigmatized as the scene of the crime.
Its value would have plummeted.
