The Educator

Chapter 31: 31

Officer Saetang sighs and looks ta her partner, Officer Chen. Officer Chen looks at her partner, Officer

Chen. Officer Chen looks at me for a while before he starts talking, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith we have

searched the area, it seems like nothing was taken as per your husband” Officer Chen glances at Elliot

for a moment. “Which means a worse case. Break-ins usually happen in the middle of the night until

dawn or before the sun goes down whenever there are no people are the residence. In your case, it

was early in the morning and again, nothing was taken. This may mean that they were not there to

steal valuables but to get to know you and your behavior. Most cases it’s not the first and last time that

they will visit you and most of the time, people who conduct break-ins either conceptualize a

kidnapping or an in-house monitoring of the members of the household”

I blink more than five times, “Wait, I don’t understand”

Elliot comes close to me, holds my hand and says, “My wife is in the middle of recovering from

something we still don’t know yet. If we can postpone this to tomorrow, we would really appreciate that”

“No, I can do this, I just can you speak to me in layman’s terms?” I tell the officers. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“Mrs. Smith, these people have been watching you, taking their time to get to know you so that they

know when to strike. What we’re not so sure is their motive, either kidnapping or some sort of

blackmail”

“Blackmail? How would they do that?” I ask them. Elliot is silent but his hold on my hand is tight.

“We had several cases her wherein cameras were planted in the house and private moments were

caught and these people were threated that either the video would be leaked or they pay a certain

amount”

My heart stops for a moment, “Were they able to plant cameras in our suite?”

“No, they were not able to do that. That’s why the hotel advised you to move suites.” Officer Saetang

said.

“So, what do we do now? Do you have any leads?” I ask them.

“We’re trying to get as much angle as we can from the cameras but we’re a little slow on that

information because according to security, their cameras were not able to record anything for today”

“Wait, so what happens now?” I ask them

The officers looked at one another then back at me, “Well, for now Mrs. Smith, we would like to thank

you for your cooperation. Take as much rest as you can and if you happen to remember anything or

anyone your might have talked to over the last few days, let us know. We understand that this if your

and Mr. Smith’s honeymoon and we are very sorry this happened” Officer Chen apologies.

“We will keep in touch, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. If there is anything you might need, just let us know”

Detective Huang says.

Elliot thanks them and escorts them out of the room. The doctors and nurses were still busy trying to

relay the results of my blood and urine.

“Eli” Elliot whispers

I look up at him, “Elliot, do you have anyone who might have a grudge?” I ask Elliot.

He then falls silent.
