Mo Fan wondered what bet Lingling had made with Ozawa. When they returned to the house, there was no one at the entrance.
"It seems like Ozawa didn't come," Mo Fan said in resignation.
Without Ozawa's help, they had to enter the towers by force. The East Guardian Towers' system was very robust. Barging in by force would be Mo Fan's last option, if at all.
"Ms. Lingling." Just then, a whisper rose from the narrow cobblestone canal outside the long corridor. It was Officer Ozawa's voice.
Mo Fan and Lingling's eyes lit up. They walked to him.
Ozawa sat there. He looked depressed. Lingling was right.
"Mr. Mo Fan." Ozawa smiled wryly at Mo Fan. He said, "Although I'm not sure who I should put my trust on, or what to believe anymore, I want to find out the truth as much as you do."
