Chapter 298: The Truth
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After hesitating for a moment, Lauren decided to tell Susan about the incident. “Samuel and Rene’s mother committed suicide a few days after they passed away.”
Upon hearing the news, Susan opened her mouth wide as if she was about to faint.
“Is...is this true?”
Lauren nodded. “It’s true.”
“I...I didn’t know about this. I let their family down, but I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t do it on purpose!”
Lauren sighed. She didn’t expect such a small case to bring out so much of the past.
After a long time, Susan finally calmed down and took a sip of water.
“Aren’t we talking about Ruby now? Why is it related to this?”
Lauren licked her lips and said, “I suspect that Ruby’s abnormal behavior these days is related to these things. Didn’t you say that Ruby’s temperament changed drastically since a month ago?”
Susan nodded.
“Yes, Ruby used to be very lively, but she’s been very quiet lately. I also noticed that she seems to have learned a lot of things that I don’t know about for no reason.”
Susan shook her head as if she had a headache.
Lauren was already slowly sorting out some clues.
“By the way, Auntie Susan, Ruby plays the piano very well. Did she learn it when she was young?”
“Piano? No! When Ruby was two years old, I originally wanted her to learn piano, but she kept making a fuss and refused to practice the piano steadily. She gave up after that, and from then on, she never came into contact with the piano again.”
Lauren remembered that Susan didn’t know that Ruby was so good at math when she was at her house previously.
Her face turned pale. She now knew what was going on.
“Okay, Auntie Susan. I’ve finished asking my questions.”
Lauren nodded to the police officer and the police officer closed the notebook.
Susan asked, “Are you done? What’s the situation now?”
“Don’t worry, Auntie Susan. There are still some things I’m not sure about. I will definitely investigate thoroughly.”
After arriving at the policeman’s office, the policeman asked Lauren in confusion, “The things that Susan mentioned just now don’t seem to have anything to do with this incident, right?”
The police officer was referring to the case of Ruby being beaten up by Susan.
Lauren took the yogurt drink that the police officer handed to her and took a big gulp. Her mind cleared up a little.
“Of course, it’s related. Ruby’s current state must be related to these things.”
Then, she fell silent again. She needed some time to think things through.
[System Divine Nine: Host, are you suspecting that the current Ruby isn’t the former Ruby?]
Lauren nodded. “Yes. What do you think, System Divine Nine?”
At first, System Divine Nine thought that this was a very simple civil case. However, after listening to what Susan said today, he began to have some doubts.
[System Divine Nine: It’s possible. Host, do you still remember that faintly discernible evil aura one night? At that time, when Ruby accused Susan of being a bad person, that evil aura was obviously much denser. Therefore, Ruby’s current body is very likely to be occupied by another soul.]
System Divine Nine’s guess coincided with Lauren’s, but Lauren did not have any evidence to prove it completely, because she did not even realize it even she was around with Ruby for so long. This would mean that the ghost attached to Ruby’s body was quite powerful.
The ghost had been able to hide from Lauren and System Divine Nine for so long.
Lauren was able to use force against it, but she had yet to figure out who the ghost in Ruby’s body was. Forcefully getting rid of it might backfire and cause both sides to suffer.
However, it was not difficult to find out who the ghost was. Following these clues, Lauren was able to guess who it was very quickly.
The ghost should be Maxton’s first wife. However, Lauren still needed some direct evidence to confirm it.
She came back to her senses and said, “Police officers, can you find out the identity of Maxton’s wife, as well as her occupation and so on?”
The police officer snapped his fingers and said, “Of course, no problem.” Then, he started typing on the computer.
“As long as it’s useful for the case, we’ll do our best to provide it.”
Soon, they found this woman. Her name was Greta Wilder.
The police officer looked through the woman’s records and said, “Wow, this woman is really smart.. She is an intellectual.”
