Lauren tried her best to stand on tiptoes. Half of her head and a pair of big round eyes appeared in front of her desk.

“I remembered this young lady. Is she the owner of the amusement park?”

Lauren nodded vigorously. “Yes, it’s me!”

The police understood as Franklin had already informed them. Thus, as long as there was no danger, they would do their best to satisfy Lauren’s request.

It was just an old man, so it shouldn’t be too dangerous. He got Lauren to sign on a piece of document and then brought her to the interrogation room.

“Let me first explain the situation to you. We only managed to track down this old man’s home address this morning. His name is Aloysius Arlando, and he’s 70 years old this year. He has a wife, but when we went over this morning, we found that his wife had already been dead for a day.”

Lauren thought of that old lady and felt a little sad.

“How did that old lady die?”

“The medical examiner has checked. It wasn’t him who killed her, and there wasn’t any fatal illness either. It should be that the old lady died of natural causes. She probably didn’t catch her breath for a moment. However, it’s also strange. His wife was only sixty-five years old. Logically speaking, she should still be in good health.”

“One thing is very strange. When the old woman was discovered, her face was extremely dark. The neighbors said that they saw the old woman the day before yesterday. She was looking quite good. But the forensic doctor didn’t find anything and he could only conclude that she died of natural causes.”

The police officer shook his head. After being in this line of work for a long time, he had encountered all kinds of strange things.

He had kind of got used to it.

“Aloysius Arlando’s condition isn’t very good. Sometimes he’s lucid, sometimes he’s confused, and his mind isn’t clear. We basically can’t ask him anything. In order to avoid any harm, we have him under control.”

“Don’t they have children? I remember that they said that their son is out of town.”

“Son? They do have a son, but he passed away four years ago because of liver cancer. Now they only have a granddaughter, who is twenty-three years old. I’ve already informed her to rush over today.”

‘He passed away? Does that mean that when they were chatting with me, they have already been possessed by a ghost? That was why they were talking nonsense and their memories were in a mess,’ Lauren thought to herself.

As they spoke, they had already walked to the door of the interrogation room. Through the glass window, Lauren could see the old man.

He was currently mumbling to himself. His eyes were empty and his hands were tied to the chair.

“Officer, can I go in alone?”

“Miss Torres, this…let me go in with you?”

After staying with Lauren for so many days, Ben had long considered protecting and taking care of Laure his biggest task.
