The flow of the investigation gained momentum as a result of the inspectors raiding the slave traders day and night. Eventually, they found Alan, who had almost been sold to the southern part of the continent. The victim's body was completely intact, aside from his appearance, which had noticeably deteriorated.
"But why did you make that confession?" Abel questioned, still not understanding why someone would confess so easily.
"The slave trader was just trying to buy time until he could erase all traces of Alan," the inspector replied, shaking his head in disbelief.
"Huh! Then what about that severed hand?" Abel inquired, recalling the strange evidence found earlier.
"It was the son of a rebel slave. The trader said he picked it up while doing business," the inspector explained.
Abel frowned. *He was seriously a pretty crazy guy.*
