The door which was opened by the cleaner staff made Patrick suddenly wake up from his deep sleep. When he looked at his cell phone, cold sweat formed on his forehead. It was 7:50 a.m.!

The last meeting will begin at eight o'clock. But he still had no idea how to solve this mystery. Patrick ran to the bathroom to wash his face. He forced himself to be calm while held the washstand, but his heart beats like a drum.

Let's go to the meeting. We've tried our best. It's time to disclose the evidence.

But that damn intuition keeps screaming in his head:

This is wrong.

This case is wrong.

This case is injustice.

He grabbed his hair, and his tired, dull brain was forced to run at high speed.

He was thinking hard about every moment of last night's conversation with Sebastian alone. No, his intuition would be right. There must be something wrong with it.

There were others who killed Lily.

Why didn't Sebastian admit it?

All he wants is to protect Eliza. Patrick has promised to protect Eliza and even confess that he likes her. But, why doesn't he let go, even if he is sentenced by severe punishment?

Why don't they believe him?

Patrick suddenly turned around and kicked hard at the door. Suddenly the last expression of Sebastian flashed in his mind, when he said with a faint smile, "Officer Collins, I admire you very much. But you can't save us."

No, Sebastian believes in him! But for some reason he was stopped and helpless.

Patrick's heart suddenly stirred up. He will take charge of this matter.

But there's another horrible sorrow in his heart. Although his intuition was stronger, the evidence was still far away.

The fear spread. He gritted his teeth and hurried out the bathroom.

What on earth should I do?!

This case was stonewalled by Sebastian, there is no more lead.

Why doesn't he tell the truth- Stop! The time is pressing, don't tangle with his psychology, change the angle, Patrick, change the angle.

Don't think about Sebastian, don't think about Eliza. Start with the real murderer, Will!

Patrick rushed out at once. He ran down the building quickly and bump into the commander at the door.

"What are you running for? The meeting is about to begin!"

Patrick got into the car, started, accelerated and hit the steering wheel. He picked up the phone and called Oliver:

"Oliver, I need your help. This is the last time. You help me delay the meeting and please don't send the files. Just give me one morning."

On another side, "What are you going to do now, Patrick?"

"I don't know now, but if my reasoning is correct, I will find the evidence."

"Patrick, I beg you not to..."

"Oliver, I beg you, please!"

"... I don't know how long I can hold them back."

"Thank you."

...

As soon as Lucas opened the curtain door of the auto repair shop, a car came almost crashed in. After a sudden brake, Patrick jumped down and asked, "Is there any other place for Will to live except the one that the police searched?"
