But he kept digging holes for me, not telling me, yet luring me step by step into the depths of the forest to get the backpack that would take us on a helicopter ride. Then, he would bring me in front of the McDowell family elders, his intentions were clearly calculated.

This man, who had meticulously set up traps, truly lived up to his reputation as a detective. He employed all his investigative skills to frame me, leaving me unable to refute his accusations.
I slept silently inside the tent, full of curiosity about this person, Emmett.
It was just late at night, with a cool breeze blowing, and I could even hear the sound of a fierce storm.
I opened the tent and watched as the heavy rain poured down. I invited Emmett into the tent.
He looked at me nervously and said, “You look very similar to her, so I don’t want to get too close to you. I’m afraid I won’t be able to control my
emotions!”
His straightforward words made me feel awkward for a moment. “I am very similar to Maggie, every word of yours drives me crazy, Emmett, can you tell me the truth, who am I? What exactly happened? How did Maggie die? Can you please stop beating around the bush?”
Emmett turned around, getting ready to leave, and I immediately grabbed his clothes. “Are you so suspicious of me? Are you afraid that I won’t take you to the McDowell family, or are you afraid that I will ruin your plans?”
This time, Emmett remained silent, but I wouldn’t give up.
