Chapter 57: Night of the crescent moon

With the crescent moon only two days away, Jane was more alert than ever, hoping to cross paths with the copycat killer. As she made her way through the corridors, she headed towards the commissioner's chamber.

She knocked on the door before entering, offering a respectful bow. "Good afternoon, Commissioner. You wanted to see me?"

"Come in, Miss Reinhart. Please, take a seat," the commissioner said, gesturing towards the empty chair in front of his desk while he put down the pen he was using. "I heard you were able to crack Chapman's case. Congratulations on it." 

"Thank you, Commissioner," Jane replied.

She noticed him pause for a moment and then remark, "I hear you have been attending quite a few soirees for the past few days."

"I wasn't aware that I was being watched or that attending them would get noted," Jane smiled at him.
