The Returning Ex

Since he was in a lot of the footage, John stayed back and waited for the police in case they needed his testimony. Zack wanted to stay as well, but since it was getting late, John asked him to go back. “You do your stuff.” John patted his back. “There’s a lot of work to do. I can handle this on my own.”

Zack thought about it, then he left with his subordinate. On the other hand, John went around the house to have a look. He thought it must have been uninhabited, judging by its stark interiors.

The property manager knew who John was, and he followed him on his tour. “The owner isn’t a local, so he never stayed in this house. According to him, he wasn’t going to rent it out in case it was damaged, but the tenant said this house was only used as a warehouse. Since the tenant promised to keep the place intact and paid a high sum of rent, the owner agreed to rent it out. Understandably, he’s distraught about this case happening here.”

John smiled. “It’s fine. It’s probably just a peeping tom, so don’t worry too much about it.”

The property manager sighed. He was also upset about this happening in this area, for getting the police involved was embarrassing for him. Their company collected a ridiculous amount of maintenance fee here, but they failed to keep this place safe. All the homeowners kept lodging complaints after finding out about the case. They were all wealthy people, so the property manager didn’t want to cross them.
