Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They invited Anita out for coffee.
Anita was Sophia’s college roommate, a simple and kind girl. After spending two years together, they shared a close bond.
After hearing that Sophia had been sent to the infirmary by Norman, she immediately called, concerned about Sophia’s health.
However, Sophia didn’t know that she was pregnant at that time. She only said that she was going for a check-up and had her apply leave of absence.
Anita, who arrived on time, was shocked and very sorry when she heard the news of Sophia’s pregnancy. After all, it had happened at her house.
If she hadn’t invited Sophia to her birthday party and asked her to stay for the night, all of this wouldn’t have happened.
“What does this have to do with you? It’s clearly that man’s fault,” Olivia said indignantly.
Even so, Anita didn’t feel much better. She said seriously, “Sophia, no matter what, I must help you find that b*stard.”
“Thank you, Anita.” With the support of her two good friends, Sophia instantly felt at ease.
Anita asked the waiter for a pen and paper and carefully recalled the men who came to her house for her birthday party.
“Most of them are single, but they went home together at night. Excluding those who went home, there were plenty who slept on the first floor after drinking. Sophia’s room is on the third floor. The suspect is most likely a man who stayed on the third floor or went to the third floor that night.”
Speaking of which, the reason why Sophia was placed on the third floor was for safety reasons. Even then, the worst still happened. One could never be too careful.
Anita shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind and drew the layout of her room on the third floor.
“There are a total of six rooms on the third floor and a game room, which makes it seven in total.” Anita marked the rooms with numbers and said, “I’m in room one, and my brother Joseph is in room two. He was afraid that we wouldn’t be able to enjoy ourselves if he stayed at home, so he went to his girlfriend’s place and only came back the next day.”
Joseph was eight years older than Anita. He had taken over the family’s jewelry business a long time ago. Although he was very gentle, he was a seasoned businessman. The calm and dignified feeling he gave off puts pressure on young people, and he was indeed their elders. The youngsters wouldn’t be able to have fun if he was there.
“Room three belongs to my second brother, Sebastian. He was busy with an investment call in Wall Street and didn’t come home for a few days. He didn’t even prepare a birthday present for me. He’s always elusive and nobody knows where he is most of the time. I don’t think he was there that night.”
“Room four is where Sophia stayed in.” Anita marked a huge circle.
“Room five is occupied by Claude, our school’s quarterback. He is cheerful and warm-hearted. He drank a lot, shielding the ladies from more drinking, and was the first to get drunk. Hmm, it seems that he got drunk earlier than Sophia?”
“Yes, he also drank on my behalf.”
“Then he might have woken up halfway and ran to Sophia’s room, right?” Olivia said.
Anita nodded and drew a triangle next to Claude’s name.
“A lady lives in room six. She’s the ‘heartthrob’ of our school, Daisy.”
Sophia glanced at the three words “Claude” on the paper and still felt that something was wrong, “It’s not difficult to find the person who lives on the third floor, but how to find the person who has been to the third floor? That man didn’t appear in my room the next day, and it’s also possible that he’s not the person who lives on the third floor.”
Olivia nodded. “Then is there a way to find someone who has been to the third floor? For example, a surveillance camera in the corridor.”
Anita shook her head and said awkwardly, “In our house, only the entrance and garage have surveillance cameras. The corridor belongs to the interior of the house. There are no surveillance cameras.”
Moreover, who would install surveillance cameras in their house for no reason?
“Is there any other way?”
“Well, there is.” Anita took out her phone and opened her address book.
Anita made a round of calls until her mouth was dry. Only then did she get some information.
She added two more names on the paper.
“Felix, a genius in our school’s mathematics department. He has a very high IQ. His parents are both university professors and they are very strict with him. He is a very upright person and rarely does anything out of line. That night, he went to the third floor.”
“Norman.”
After Anita finished writing the name, she paused for a moment.
Sophia seemed to freeze.
Olivia asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with this person?”
“Norman is the playboy of our school… a cynical rich kid.” Sophia immediately threw out another piece of juicy news. “He went after me last semester but I rejected him.”
Anita added, “Norman also invited Sophia to dance that night.”
“I met him just before I fainted yesterday morning. He was the one who took me to the infirmary.”
Olivia said in a daze, “Isn’t this too much of a coincidence? He also went to the third floor that night?”
Anita nodded.
On the messy paper, Claude, Felix, and Norman’s names were marked with a triangular symbol, representing the suspect.
