One Night Surprise

Chapter 407 Who Was the Woman Who Died?

In the end, Courtney ended up finding out about what had happened at the deserted island from Cameron. Apparently, on the day of her escape, the criminal investigation team, the Blue Eagles Reserve Forces, and even Elijah and his men had surrounded the island.

“And, do you know what’s the weirdest thing? There was infighting on that island that night; they didn’t even have a single person out on patrol. So, all three forces just charged in, and before they could do anything, they realized that the den was on fire. That fire was huge. Like, it burned down the entire forest. The island was on fire the whole night. When Tess and the others brought in the cleanup crew, they realized that over twenty people had died inside the house.”

Courtney’s heart was in her throat from listening to all that. “Over twenty people?” Dragon had twenty or so men under him on that island. Did they all just die in that fire? “Who started the fire?”

“Who knows?” Cameron had a look of lingering fear on her face. “You’re lucky that you ran when you did. If you still had been inside that house, you probably would have burned to death too.”

“Were there no survivors?” Courtney clearly remembered that the fire had just started when she left, but Fatty had still been at the shore then.

As expected, Cameron said, “I heard that they’ve brought in this fat guy. He spilled everything once he was at the station.”

“What did he say?”

“He said that a woman lit that fire and burned everyone to death.”

“A woman?” Courtney asked, “Who?”

“You’re really gonna believe his weird nonsense?” Cameron blinked. “They retrieved twenty or so male corpses and one female corpse when they were cleaning up the place. Are you telling me that this woman burned everyone before killing herself in the fire?”

“A female corpse?” Courtney’s forehead creased slightly. A vague notion made its way into her head. “Only one?”

“Yeah.”
