Chapter 16 Fix Your Attitude
Calista breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled. "Do you see it, Officer Langley?"
Just in case he wasn't able to see it clearly, she whacked the wall one more time while still facing Wyatt.
The bang of the hammer also struck Wyatt's heart!
Even more of the wall crumbled and exposed what was inside. It was a human head!
Calista saw that Wyatt was in complete shock, so she grinned widely and said with a naughty voice, "I lied to you just now, there's no signal detector here, so you can turn on your phone and call your colleagues, Officer Langley." Wyatt quickly turned on his phone and saw that he had a bunch of missed calls and texts from his aunt and Quincy.
Wyatt suddenly understood why Calista lied to him. If he had picked up his aunt's call while driving here, he would probably have turned back instead of coming here.
Wyatt called the police with mixed feelings in his heart, then instead of calling his aunt back, he asked Calista, "How did you know who the murderer was? And how did you know this was exactly the place where he hid the missing head?"
Calista wasn't going to tell him what happened in her previous life - back then, this murderer did not get caught after his first crime, and so he became bolder and bolder, killing more than ten others before finally getting arrested.
When he was finally arrested, he had calmly recounted how he killed the first person on television.
It was actually just an accident. He had gone upstairs at the same time as the victim, and the victim had shouted into the phone, "I have $400,000, but I'd rather die than give it to you!"
So he thought of just stealing the money and broke into her house after the victim had gone marketing, but she unexpectedly returned soon after, and he killed her in a panic.
She had bitten him before dying, and he was afraid the police might find some clues in her mouth, so he chopped her head off and hid it in his own house for the next ten years.
This murderer was actually a forensic doctor's assistant, so in order to hide his motive, he used his professional knowledge to clean up the murder scene and did not touch a single cent. After that he wasn't caught, so he suddenly realized that it wasn't so hard to kill someone after all.
He said that when he realized this, he also realized he was losing control of himself, and he always wished someone would stop him as he continued killing others over the next ten years.
Calista smiled and thought, that's why I'm here, I'm here to stop him.
"A little girl told me all this. I don't know why she wanted to tell me, and I don't know where she is either. I'll say the same thing later when they take my statement down."
Wyatt clenched his teeth in anger, "Don't you know that I can arrest you for being an accomplice?"
Calista smiled confidently, "No you won't."
"On what grounds..." Before Wyatt could finish speaking, his phone rang and his face immediately changed after the phone call.
"The owner of this unit is Carson Zabinski, a forensic doctor's assistant. But he's not gone to work for two days, which means he's escaped!" He suddenly turned to ask Calista seriously, "Do you know where he's gone?"
Calista narrowed her eyes and thought for a while before calmly saying, "He...hmmm... perhaps he's found that murdering people is quite fun, and he's now at the next victim's house?"
"CALISTA!" Wyatt raised his voice. "Someone's life is at stake here, can you please be more serious!"
Calista stopped smiling, and her small and delicate face turned cold instantly. "Since you know that someone's life is at stake, and you need information from me, then you'd better fix that attitude of yours!"
Her sharp glare made Wyatt take a step back, but Calista didn't bother about his reaction, instead she tried to recall what happened back then.
She remembered that after Carson had killed his first victim, he committed a crime again less than one month later, and the actual date was supposed to be tomorrow. But now that he had gone missing for two days, the only explanation was that he had tortured the victim for two days in her house before killing her on the third day.
This time she was around, so she wasn't going to let a second murder happen!
"I don't know exactly where he is," Calista continued without changing her expression. "But I know how to find him. But you have to believe my words first. For starters, don't look at me like that, Officer Langley."
Wyatt pursed his lips, as if he was still considering if she was telling the truth.
But Calista knew the next victim was awaiting rescue and she had no time to waste. She asked directly, "You should have two phones, right?"
Wyatt took a moment to react, then passed his personal phone to her. Before passing it to her, he programmed the speed dial function to call his work phone, so if Calista discovered anything, she could press the button '1' and be able to contact him immediately. Calista was very satisfied that he finally understood they were racing against time, so she took the phone and said with a smile, "You can get the police to clean this place up, in case Carson comes back and you can arrest him here. I might call you anytime, you'd better make sure you can get to the place where I am as soon as possible." Wyatt nodded. He had a location tracker in his personal phone, but he didn't mention this.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Calista stuck out her delicate hand and waved it in front of him. "Well, give me some money to take a cab!"
Wyatt passed his entire wallet to her, and even though he still felt that this whole situation was very strange, he said, "I don't know what you're going to do but...be careful."
Calista smiled and turned to leave. In no time the police had surrounded the area, but Calista had already boarded a cab towards another place. "To Royal Clouds Residences, please."
Calista saw the luxury apartments in the distance, and a light flashed in her eyes. She was glad for her photographic memory that remembered every single tiny detail.
But what she did not expect to see after she got off was a limousine parked at the gate of the estate. She looked through the windows and was shocked that Kallum was in the car, his handsome face outshining many celebrities.
She opened her eyes wide and asked, "What are you doing here?"
In the car, Kallum slanted his eyes at her and wondered with a frown, why couldn't he get rid of this woman? "I'm the one who should be asking you that. Did you follow me?"
Calista snorted in reply. Just then a man who looked like a bodyguard walked over and told Kallum, "Mr. Kallum, Ava isn't at home, and there's no sign of a break in. There's a note pasted on the door though, and it looks like it was written in a hurry. It says that she's gone back to her hometown for a while and will be back in a few days.
Kallum furrowed his brows, then quickly said, "Call the police. Ava is not the kind of person who would go missing like this. Call her family..."
"She's still here!" Calista suddenly interrupted Kallum.
Calista looked at him with a look of wonder on her face, "So Ava is your company's head secretary?"
Back then the news had released the names of all the victims, and did include some information on Ava. The report only said that she was a high flying career woman, but did not state which company he worked for. She's Kallum's head secretary, what a small world, she thought.
