Focus on Revenge A Photographer’s Killer Shot novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88

Arthur hung up the phone and met Vincent’s eager gaze, he pursed his lips and let out a long sigh.

Vincent was inexplicably distracted by his look, “What’s with the expression? Did you find Alexa?”

Arthur just shook his head and raised his hand to pat Vincent’s shoulder, “Brother, you, take care of yourself!”

The police received a report from an enthusiastic member of the public that they had found a cell phone and a pair of shoes by the river.

Isolde and Karina arrived at the police station while the police men were checking the surveillance.

The young female handed Isolde the cell phone and shoes in a ziplock bag for identification.

The cell phone was Alexa’s.

The shoes…… were the ones Isolde had gone to the mall with her a few days before.

Isolde recognizes them, but she shakes her head.

“These aren’t my mom’s, these aren’t……”

“Isolde, don’t be like this.” Karina stifled her sobs and advised her, “We have to cooperate with the police, maybe Auntie went somewhere else later?”

Isolde stared at the phone and shoes in front of her, slowly closing her eyes in despair, “It’s my mom’s.”

The female softly relieved, “Okay, don’t worry just yet, we’re checking the surveillance and we’ll let you know as soon as we have any news.”

Isolde nods, her clasped hands so hard they turn white.

There are multiple surveillance cameras by the river, and the police confirmed that Alexa had thrown herself into the river at 7:19pm last night through the footage captured by the cameras.

The footage shows that Alexa stood by the river for more than an hour before she threw herself into the river.

It was so late in the day that Alexa’s expression could not be seen on the CCTV footage.

Isolde looks at Alexa on the monitor.

She wondered what her mom was thinking during that hour or so.

No one could give her an answer.

She also asked herself what she herself was doing while her mom was wandering around the river.

She was looking at airline tickets and making plans.

She had originally planned to take her mom to Sanya for a break after her surgery after the new year.

But before the airfare was booked, she received a call from Mary.

Isolde stared at the CCTV footage and saw Alexa go over the fence and take a leap towards the river with her

arms open-

The river splashed, and soon the ripples faded.

Alexa is just gone.

Isolde closed her eyes and covered her heart and slowly crouched down.

She didn’t cry, peacefully.

Karina crouched down and hugged her, “Isolde ……”

Karina couldn’t say anything else other than a ‘Isolde‘.

Tell her to be sorry?

But it was her mom, the only family she had left in the world that loved her!

Isolde’s eyes opened slowly, her brow lowered, her whole body as if her soul had been drained, her eyes dull

and empty.

Karina heard her murmur very, very softly.

“The river is so cold, she’s scared of the cold, Karina, I have to find her, I have to take her home……‘

Karina felt that she was about to break and cried, hugging her tighter, “Okay, okay, I’ll look for her with you, I’ll stay with you…..”

According to the procedure of handling the case, even if you know that the survival rate of throwing oneself into the river in bad weather is almost zero, the search and rescue work that should be done on the side of the police still has to be done.

The one in charge of handling this case first gave Isolde a ‘precautionary shot, saying that since the lower

stream of the river is the outer sea, if the search and rescue in the first three days is fruitless, the probability of the person drifting down the current and into the outer sea is very high.

That is to say, the critical period to find the person is in the first three days.

Although the police used the words ‘find the person‘, but we all know in our hearts, Alexa can’t come back.

Coming out of the police station, Isolde remained quiet.
